Ezekyèl 23
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man,
2 -Nonm o! Vwala te gen de fi, pitit menm manman.
Two women were 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 go a-whoring in Egypt, In their youth they have gone a-whoring, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves 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.
And their names [are] Aholah the elder, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As to their names — Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
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.
And go a-whoring doth Aholah under Me, And she doteth on her lovers, On the neighbouring Assyrians,
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.
Clothed with blue — governors and prefects, Desirable young men all of them, 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.
And she giveth her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them — even all on whom she doted, By all their idols she hath been defiled.
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.
And her whoredoms out of Egypt she hath not forsaken, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms 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 have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur 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.
They have uncovered her nakedness, Her sons and her daughters they have taken, And her by sword they have slain, And she is a name for women, And judgments they have done with 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.
And see doth her sister Aholibah, And she maketh her doting love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms 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.
On sons of Asshur she hath doted, Governors and prefects, Neighbouring ones — clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, Desirable young men all of them.
13 Mwen wè li te fin avili tèt li nèt: dezyèm sè a pa t' pi bon pase premye a.
And I see that she hath been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
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.
And she doth add unto her whoredoms, And she seeth graved men on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, graved with red lead,
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.
Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers — all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
16 Wè li wè pòtre mesye yo, li anvi yo. Li voye mesaje bò kote yo nan peyi Babilòn.
And she doteth on them at the sight of her eyes, And sendeth messengers to them, to 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.
And come in unto her do sons of Babylon, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is 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.
And she revealeth her whoredoms, And she revealeth her nakedness, And alienated is My soul from off her, As alienated was My soul from off 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.
And she multiplieth her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went a-whoring 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.
And she doteth on their paramours, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of asses, And the issue of horses — their issue.
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.
Thou lookest after the wickedness of thy youth, In dealing out of Egypt thy loves, For the sake of the breasts of thy 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, O Aholibah, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am stirring up thy lovers against thee, From whom thy soul hath been alienated, And have brought them in against thee from round about.
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.
Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them — rulers and proclaimed ones, Riding on horses, all of them.
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 have come in against thee, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Target, and shield, and helmet, They do set against thee round about, And I have set before them judgment, They have judged thee in their Judgments.
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.
And I have set My jealousy against thee, And they have dealt with thee in fury, Thy nose and thine ears they turn aside, And thy posterity by sword falleth, They, thy sons and thy daughters do take away, And thy posterity is devoured by fire.
26 Y'ap wete tout rad sou ou, y'ap pran tout bijou ou te konn mete sou ou.
And they have stripped thee of thy garments, And have taken thy beauteous 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.
And I have caused thy wickedness to cease from thee, And thy whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And thou liftest not up thine eyes unto them, And Egypt thou dost not remember again.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am giving thee into a hand that thou hast hated, Into a hand from which thou wast 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 have dealt with thee in hatred, And they have taken all thy labour, And they have left thee naked and bare, And revealed hath been the nakedness of thy whoredoms, And the wickedness of thy whoredoms.
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.
To do these things to thee, In thy going a-whoring after nations, Because thou hast been defiled 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.
In the way of thy sister thou hast walked, And I have given her cup into thy 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 said the Lord Jehovah: The cup of thy sister thou dost drink, The deep and the wide one, (Thou art for laughter and for scorn, ) Abundant to contain.
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.
With drunkenness and sorrow thou art filled, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of thy 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.
And thou hast drunk it, and hast drained [it], And its earthen ware thou dost gnaw, And thine own breasts thou pluckest off, For I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah,
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Because thou hast forgotten Me, And thou dost cast Me behind thy back, Even thou also bear thy wickedness and thy whoredoms.'
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.
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, Dost thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? Declare then 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, With their idols they committed adultery, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
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.
Again, this they have done to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And My sabbaths they have polluted.
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.
And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come in unto My sanctuary in that day to pollute it, And lo, thus they have 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.
And also that they send to men coming from afar, Unto whom a messenger is sent, And lo, they have come in for whom thou hast washed, Painted thine eyes, and put on adornment.
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 thou hast sat on a couch of honour, And a table arrayed before it, And My perfume and My oil placed on it.
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.
And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And unto men of the common people are brought in Sabeans from the wilderness, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beauteous crown on their heads.
43 Mwen di nan kè m': Fanm lan fini afòs li fè adiltè. Atousa l'ap fè jennès toujou.
And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms — she also!
44 Men, mesye yo tounen anpil fwa lakay li tankou kay yon jennès. Yo tounen lakay Ola ak Oliba, fanm devègonde sa yo.
And they come in unto her, As the coming in unto a whorish woman, So they have come in unto Aholah, And unto Aholibah — the wicked 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.
As to righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For 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 said the Lord Jehovah: Bring up against them an assembly, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
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.
And they have cast at them the stone of the assembly, And cut them with their swords, Their sons and their daughters they do slay, And their houses with fire they burn.
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.
And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And instructed have been all the women, And they do not according to your wickedness.
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.
And they have put your wickedness on you, And the sins of your idols ye bear, And ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah!
