Ezekyèl 23
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
The word of YHWH came again to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Vwala te gen de fi, pitit menm manman.
"Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:
3 Depi lè yo te jenn ti nègès y' al fè jennès nan peyi Lejip. Se la yo lage kò yo nan lavi gason. Se la yo kite gason woule tete yo pou premye fwa.
and they played the prostitute in Egypt; they played the prostitute in their youth; there were their breasts pressed, and there was handled the bosom of their virginity.
4 Pi gran an te rele Ola, pi piti a Oliba. Ola se peyi Samari, Oliba se peyi Jerizalèm. Mwen marye ak tou de, yo fè pitit gason ak pitit fi pou mwen.
Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 Men, atout Ola te madanm mwen, li lage kò l' nan dezòd. Li t'ap mouri pou moun peyi Lasiri, vwazen l' yo. Li fè zafè ak yo.
"Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
6 Mesye sa yo te sòlda avèk bèl inifòm violèt, gwo zotobre, ak grannèg. Yo tout te bèl jenn gason, bon kavalye moute sou chwal yo.
who were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on horses.
7 Li te kouche ak tout gwo chèf peyi Lasiri yo. Sitèlman li te cho dèyè mesye sa yo, li avili tèt li, li tonbe fè sèvis pou vye zidòl moun peyi Lasiri yo.
She bestowed her prostitution on them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them; and on whoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
8 Li pa t' sispann fè metye jennès li te aprann nan peyi Lejip la. Depi lè li te jenn ti nègès, gason ap kouche l', y'ap woule tete l', y'ap sèvi avè l' tankou yon jennès.
Neither has she left her prostitution since the days of Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they handled the bosom of her virginity; and they poured out their prostitution on her.
9 Se poutèt sa mwen lage l' nan men nonm li yo, moun peyi Lasiri yo. Se dèyè yo li te cho konsa!
Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, on whom she doted.
10 Yo mete l' toutouni, yo pran pitit gason ak pitit fi li yo. Lèfini, yo touye l' anba kout nepe. Se te yon egzanp pou tout fanm. Yo te fè l' peye pou sa l' te fè a dapre lalwa.
These uncovered her nakedness; they took her sons and her daughters; and her they killed with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments on her.
11 Atout Oliba, sè l' la, te wè sa, li lage kò l' nan pi gwo dezòd toujou. Li tounen yon pi gwo jennès pase Ola.
"Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her prostitution which were more than the prostitution of her sister.
12 Li menm tou li te cho dèyè mesye peyi Lasiri yo, grannèg, gwo zotobre, sòlda ak bèl inifòm, bon kavalye ki moute sou chwal, yon bann bèl jenn gason.
She doted on the Assyrians, governors and rulers, her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 Mwen wè li te fin avili tèt li nèt: dezyèm sè a pa t' pi bon pase premye a.
I saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
14 Men, Oliba al pi lwen toujou nan metye jennès la. Li wè pòtre gason yo te fè sou yon miray ak bèl penti wouj. Se te pòtre chèf peyi Babilòn yo.
She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with vermilion,
15 Avèk bèl sentiwon pase nan ren yo, tèt yo mare ak bèl mouchwa madras, mesye yo te abiye tankou gwo chèf. Se te pòtre moun peyi Babilòn. Se la yo te fèt.
wearing belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like officers, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their birth.
16 Wè li wè pòtre mesye yo, li anvi yo. Li voye mesaje bò kote yo nan peyi Babilòn.
As soon as she saw them she doted on them, and sent messengers to them into Chaldea.
17 Mesye yo vini, yo fè lamou, yo kouche avè l'. Yo pran kont plezi yo avè l', yo fin avili li nèt. Bout pou bout, li vin rayi yo.
The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 Se li menm ankò ki mete tout zafè l' deyò. Li fè tout moun konnen se jennès li ye. Li mete l' toutouni, li fè m' degoute l' tankou lòt sè a.
So she uncovered her prostitution, and uncovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from her sister.
19 Se atò li lage kò l' nan fè jennès. Li vin chonje lè l' te jenn ti nègès ap fè jennès nan peyi Lejip.
Yet she multiplied her prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute in the land of Egypt.
20 Li t'ap kouri dèyè gason ki cho tankou ou ta di mal bourik ak poulen chwal ki pran sant fenmèl.
She doted on their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
21 Oliba, ou te dèyè pou ou te fè tout dezòd ou te konn fè yo lè ou te jenn ti nègès nan peyi Lejip kote pou premye fwa mesye yo te woule tete ou, kote yo te mete ou nan lavi gason.
Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the handling of your bosom by the Egyptians for the breasts of your youth.
22 Se poutèt sa, Oliba, men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a voye ba ou: Ou te vin rayi nonm ou yo! Enben, mwen pral moute tèt yo sou ou, mwen pral fè yo soti toupatou pou yo vin sènen ou.
"Therefore, Oholibah, thus says YHWH: 'Look, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on every side:
23 Tout moun Babilòn yo ak moun peyi Kalde yo, moun lavil Pekòd, moun lavil Choa, moun lavil Koa, ansanm ak tout moun peyi Lasiri yo, mwen pral sanble tout bèl jenn gason yo, grannèg, gwo zotobre, tout chèf, tou sa ki gen gwo grad, bon kavalye ki moute sou chwal yo. Mwen pral sanble yo tout.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; desirable young men, all of them governors and officials, officers and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
24 Y'ap soti nan nò, y'ap mache sou ou avèk yon gwo lame, anpil cha lagè ak anpil kabwa pwovizyon. Avèk gwo plak fè pou pwoteje yo, kas yo nan tèt yo, yo pral sènen ou toupatou. M' pral lage ou nan men yo pou yo jije ou dapre lwa pa yo.
And they shall come against you armed with chariots, and wagons, and with a huge army; they shall come against you on every side with large shields and small shields and helmet; and I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you by their own standards.
25 Ou te pouse m' fè jalouzi, yo pral move sou ou jouk yo p'ap kapab ankò. Yo pral koupe bwa nen ou ak fèy zòrèy ou yo. Yo pral touye pitit ou yo. Wi, yo pral pran pitit gason ak pitit fi ou yo nan men ou, y'ap boule yo tou vivan.
I will set my jealousy against you, and they shall deal with you in fury; they shall take away your nose and your ears; and your residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take your sons and your daughters; and your residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Y'ap wete tout rad sou ou, y'ap pran tout bijou ou te konn mete sou ou.
They shall also strip you of your clothes, and take away your beautiful jewels.
27 M'ap mete yon fren nan dezòd ak metye jennès ou t'ap fè depi nan peyi Lejip la. Ou p'ap wè yo ankò devan je ou. Ou p'ap chonje peyi Lejip ankò.
Thus will I make your lewdness to cease from you, and your prostitution brought from the land of Egypt; so that you shall not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt any more.
28 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Mwen pral lage ou nan men moun ou pa vle wè yo, moun ki te ba ou degoutans yo.
"'For thus says YHWH: Look, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated;
29 Yo pral maltrete ou tankou moun yo rayi. Yo pral pran tou sa ou te travay fè, y'ap kite ou toutouni, san rad sou ou tankou yon jennès. Se move lanvi ou yo ak lenkondite ou yo
and they shall deal with you in hatred, and shall take away all your labor, and shall leave you naked and bare; and the nakedness of your prostitution shall be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
30 ki pral lakòz tout malè sa yo tonbe sou ou. Ou te tounen yon jennès pou mesye lòt nasyon yo, ou avili tèt ou, ou tonbe fè sèvis pou vye zidòl yo.
These things shall be done to you, because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 Ou mache pye pou pye dèyè sè ou la. Se poutèt sa m'ap pini ou menm jan mwen te pini l' la.
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your hand.'
32 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Ou pral bwè nan gode sè ou la, yon gode byen fon. Tout moun pral pase ou nan betiz, nan rizib. Gode a plen ra bò.
"Thus says YHWH: 'You will drink of your sister's cup, which is deep and large; you will be ridiculed and held in derision; it contains much.
33 Li pral fè ou sou. W'ap an mal makak. Se yon gode k'ap fè moun pè, yon gode k'ap fini avè ou, gode Samari, sè ou la.
You shall be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your sister Samaria.
34 W'ap bwè tout, w'ap kite l' vid. Lèfini, w'ap kraze l' anba dan ou! Moso yo pral filange tete ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
You shall even drink it and drain it out, and you shall gnaw the broken pieces of it, and shall tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,' says YHWH.
35 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Paske ou te bliye m', ou te vire do ou ban mwen, ou pral soufri pou tout lenkondite ak dezòd ou te fè yo.
"Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Because you have forgotten me, and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.'"
36 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou pare pou jije Ola ansanm ak Oliba? Ou pral mete devan yo tout vye bagay derespektan yo t'ap fè yo.
YHWH said moreover to me: "Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them their abominations.
37 Yo fè adiltè, yo touye moun, yo fè adiltè ak zidòl, yo touye pitit yo te fè pou mwen. Yo ofri yo pou yo boule yo bay zidòl.
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands; and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
38 Se pa sa ase yo fè m'. Menm lè sa a, yo derespekte tanp mwen an. Yo pa respekte regleman jou repo m' yo.
Moreover this they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
39 Menm jou yo touye pitit yo pou zidòl yo, yo vin nan tanp mwen an pou yo derespekte l'. Men sa yo fè anndan kò kay mwen an.
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and look, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
40 Sa ki pi rèd ankò, yo voye mesaje al envite gason soti byen lwen vin jwenn yo. Mesye yo vini. De sè yo benyen byen pwòp, yo pentire je yo. Yo mete bijou yo sou yo pou resevwa.
"'Furthermore you have sent for men who come from far, to whom a messenger was sent, and look, they came; for whom you did wash yourself, paint your eyes, and decorate yourself with ornaments,
41 Yo chita sou bèl gwo kabann, yo pare yon ti tab devan kabann lan. Lèfini, yo pran lansan ak lwil mwen te ba yo, yo mete sou li.
and sit on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.'
42 Apre sa, moun tande vwa yon pakèt gason manfouben k'ap pran plezi avèk yo. Se te yon bann malandren yo mennen soti nan dezè a. Mesye yo mete bèl braslè nan ponyèt medam yo ak bèl kouwòn sou tèt yo chak.
The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands twain, and beautiful crowns on their heads.
43 Mwen di nan kè m': Fanm lan fini afòs li fè adiltè. Atousa l'ap fè jennès toujou.
Then I said of her who was old in adulteries, 'Now will they play the prostitute with her, and she with them.'
44 Men, mesye yo tounen anpil fwa lakay li tankou kay yon jennès. Yo tounen lakay Ola ak Oliba, fanm devègonde sa yo.
They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute: so went they in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd women.
45 Men, gason ki mache dwat yo pral jije yo tankou yo jije fanm k'ap fè adiltè epi k'ap touye moun, paske yo fè adiltè, yo touye moun.
Righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women who shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.
46 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Sanble yon foul moun pou mache sou yo, pou fè yo pè, pou piye tou sa yo genyen!
"For thus says YHWH: 'I will bring up a company against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
47 Se pou foul moun yo kalonnen yo wòch jouk yo touye yo. Se pou yo depatcha yo ak nepe, touye pitit gason ak pitit fi yo, lèfini pou yo mete dife nan kay yo.
The company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.
48 Nan tout peyi a, m'ap fè moun sispann fè libètinaj. Sa va sèvi yon avètisman pou tout medam yo, pou yo pa fè tankou nou.
'Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
49 Pou nou menm, de sè sa yo, mwen pral pini nou pou libètinaj nou. M'ap fè nou peye peche nou fè lè nou t'ap sèvi zidòl yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki sèl Mèt.
They shall recompense your lewdness on you, and you shall bear the sins of your idols; and you shall know that I am YHWH.'"
