Ezekyèl 22
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 -Nonm o! Eske ou vle jije lavil ki renmen fè san koule a? W'a fè l' konnen tout vye bagay derespektan li te fè yo.
Punish, punish, son of man, the city of blood, and show her all her abominations, and say,
3 W'a di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. Ou reskonsab lanmò anpil moun ki t'ap viv nan mitan ou. Ou fè vye zidòl pou ou avili tèt ou nan fè sèvis pou yo.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O city that sheddest blood in the midst of thee, that thy time may come, and makest idols to defile thyself!
4 Poutèt tout krim ou fè yo, ou antò. Avèk tout zidòl w'ap sèvi yo, ou pa nan kondisyon sèvi Bondye. Ou fè jou pa ou la pwoche, ou fè lè ou la rive! Se poutèt sa mwen kite nasyon yo pase ou nan betiz, tout moun ap lonje dwèt sou ou.
Through the blood which thou sheddest thou bringest guilt upon thyself, and through the idols which thou makest thou pollutest thyself, and thou causest thy days to draw near, and comest to thy years. Therefore do I make thee a reproach to the nations, and a derision to all countries.
5 Nan peyi pre ak nan peyi lwen, y'ap pase ou nan rizib. Ou se yon lavil ki gen move non, yon lavil plen dezòd.
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee as infamous, full of confusion.
6 Tout chèf peyi Izrayèl yo gen konfyans nan pwòp fòs yo. Yon sèl bagay yo konnen, se touye moun.
Behold the princes of Israel are engaged every one according to his strength within thee to shed blood.
7 Nan lavil la, pesonn pa respekte papa ak manman yo ankò. Y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan yo. Y'ap maltrete fanm ki pèdi mari yo ak timoun ki san papa.
In thee they set light by father and mother; in thee are they guilty of oppression to the stranger; in thee do they oppress the fatherless and the widow.
8 Nou pa respekte kay yo mete apa pou mwen yo, ni jou repo m' yo.
Thou hast despised my holy things, and profaned my sabbaths.
9 Plen moun nan mitan ou k'ap mache denonse moun, k'ap bay manti sou moun pou fè touye yo. Gen lòt k'ap manje nan manje yo ofri bay zidòl yo. Gen lòt menm, se pran plezi yo nèt ale nan tout kalite dezòd.
In thee are men who carry tales, that they may shed blood; in thee do they eat upon the mountains; in the midst of thee do they commit lewdness.
10 Genyen k'ap kouche ak madanm papa yo. Genyen k'ap fòse madanm yo kouche ak yo atout yo gen règ yo.
In thee doth the son uncover the father's nakedness; in thee do they lie with a woman in her uncleanness.
11 Genyen k'ap fè adiltè ak madanm moun Izrayèl parèy yo, k'ap kouche ak bèlfi yo san yo pa wont. Genyen k'ap fè kadejak sou pitit fi papa yo ki pa menm manman ak yo.
And one committeth abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another, with incestuous lewdness, defileth his daughter-in-law; and in thee another lieth with his sister, his father's daughter.
12 Genyen k'ap touye moun pou lajan. Gen lòt ankò k'ap bay frè parèy yo ponya, y'ap mande yo enterè pou lajan yo prete yo. Y'ap pran tou sa frè parèy yo genyen pa fòs. Men mwen menm, yo bliye m'. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
In thee do they take a reward to shed blood. Thou takest usury and increase, and thou hast enriched thyself from thy neighbor by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
13 Mwen pral frape pye m' atè, paske nou vòlò twòp, nou touye moun twòp.
Therefore, behold, I have smitten my hands together at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at the blood which hath been shed in the midst of thee.
14 Jou m'ap regle avè ou la, ou p'ap gen kouraj pou ou sipòte, ou p'ap menm ka leve bra ou! Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'.
Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the day when I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 M'ap gaye tout pèp ou a nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. M'ap mache simaye nou nan peyi etranje yo. M'ap fè nou sispann fè malpwòpte nou t'ap fè nan mitan nou an.
I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thine impurity out of thee;
16 Akòz tou sa ou fè ki derespektan yo, lòt nasyon yo pral trennen ou nan labou. Men ou menm, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
and thou shalt through thyself be profaned before the eyes of the nations, and thou shalt know that I am Jehovah.
17 Seyè a pale ave m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
18 -Nonm o! Pou mwen moun pèp Izrayèl yo pa vo anyen. Yo tankou kras ki rete nan fon chodyè lè y'ap fonn ajan, kwiv, asye, fè ak plon. Yo tankou kras nan fon chodyè, yo pa vo anyen.
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dross to me; all of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are the dross of silver.
19 Se poutèt sa, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Koulye a nou tounen kras nan fon chodyè fèblantye, mwen pral mete nou tout fè pil nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all of you become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem.
20 Menm jan yo mete vye moso ajan, kwiv, fè, plon ak eten nan yon chodyè sou gwo dife pou fonn yo wete kras, m'ap move sou nou, m'ap fè kòlè, m'ap tankou dife y'ap soufle anba chodyè fèblantye pou fonn metal yo, m'ap fè nou fonn.
As men gather silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it, so will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will place you there and melt you.
21 Wi, m'ap mete nou ansanm nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm, m'ap limen dife anba nou, m'ap fache sou nou, m'ap fonn nou.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 Nou pral fonn nan mitan lavil Jerizalèm tankou ajan k'ap fonn nan chodyè fèblantye. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki move sou nou konsa.
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my fury upon you.
23 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
24 -Nonm o! W'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo yo rete nan yon peyi ki gen madichon. Wi, lè m'a move sou yo, yo p'ap jwenn yon degout lapli.
Son of man, say to her, Thou art a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 Chèf ki rete nan peyi a tankou lyon k'ap gwonde bò yon bèt yo fin touye. Yo devore moun, yo pran tout richès ak tout byen yo jwenn. Se pa de fanm yo kite san mari.
There is a conspiracy of her prophets in the midst of her; like a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour the lives of men; they take possession of treasures, and precious things, and make many widows in the midst of her.
26 Prèt yo menm pa kenbe lwa mwen an, yo pa gen respè pou kay ki apa pou mwen an. Yo pa fè diferans ant bagay ki apa pou mwen ak bagay ki pa apa pou mwen. Yo pa moutre moun sa ki bon ak sa ki pa bon pou sèvis mwen. Yo pa konn sa ki rele jou repo mwen yo. Se konsa pèp Izrayèl la pa respekte m' menm.
Her priests violate my law, and profane my holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and profane, and show not the difference between the clean and the unclean; and they hide their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Zotobre yo menm nan lavil la, yo tankou chen mawon k'ap dechèpiye bèt yo touye. Y'ap touye moun pou yo vòlò byen yo.
Her princes in the midst of her are like wolves tearing the prey. They shed blood, they destroy life, that they may get gain.
28 Pwofèt yo kache peche pou chèf yo tankou moun k'ap kouvri yon vye miray ak krepisay. Y'ap fè vizyon ki pa vre. Y'ap bay manti sou sa ki pou rive. Yo pretann se mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen ba yo, men, mwen pa janm pale ak yo.
Her prophets daub for them with untempered mortar, seeing falsehood, and divining to them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord Jehovah,” when Jehovah hath not spoken.
29 Nan tout peyi a moun yo lage kò yo nan fè mechanste, nan vòlò zafè moun. Y'ap toupizi pòv malere yo ak moun ki nan malsite yo, y'ap pwofite sou moun lòt nasyon yo san rezon.
The people of the land are guilty of oppression, and practise robbery, and distress the poor and needy; yea, they oppress the stranger, and have no justice.
30 Mwen chache nan mitan yo yon moun ki ta ka bati yon miray, ki ta ka kanpe kote miray yo ap kraze a, pou pran defans peyi a lè m'a fè kòlè pou m' detwi l', men mwen pa jwenn pesonn.
I have sought for a man among them that should make a wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I might not destroy it; but I found none.
31 Se konsa, mwen pral move sou yo. Tankou yon dife, mwen pral disparèt yo. Mwen pral fè yo peye pou sa yo fè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki pale.
Therefore will I pour out my indignation upon them; I will consume them with the fire of my wrath; I will bring their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
