Ezekyèl 26
1 Nan premye jou mwa a nan onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
In the eleventh year, in the first of the month, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Lavil Tir pa t' manke kontan. Men sa li t'ap di sou lavil Jerizalèm: Li fini! Li pa ka fè gwo kòmès li te konn fè anvan an. Koulye a, wout kòmès la louvri gran louvri pou mwen. Pa gen anyen lavil Jerizalèm ankò.
“Son of man, because Tyre has said against Jerusalem, ‘Aha! She is broken! She who was the gateway of the peoples has been returned to me. I will be replenished, now that she is laid waste;’
3 Enben, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap leve dèyè nou tou, nou menm moun lavil Tir. Mwen pral mennen anpil nasyon vin atake nou. Yo pral vin sou nou yonn apre lòt tankou lanm lanmè.
therefore the Lord GOD says, ‘Behold, I am against you, Tyre, and will cause many nations to come up against you, as the sea causes its waves to come up.
4 Yo pral kraze miray ranpa lavil yo. Y'ap demoli gwo fò won yo. Lèfini, m'ap pote tout pousyè a ale. M'ap kite wòch yo griyen konsa.
They will destroy the walls of Tyre, and break down her towers. I will also scrape her dust from her, and make her a bare rock.
5 Pechè yo pral mete senn cheche sou yo, la kote lavil la te kanpe nan mitan lanmè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa. Nasyon yo pral piye lavil la.
She will be a place for the spreading of nets in the middle of the sea; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD. ‘She will become plunder for the nations.
6 Yo pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a ak nepe. Lè sa a, lavil Tir va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
Her daughters who are in the field will be slain with the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’
7 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Mwen pral voye Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pi gran wa pase tout wa yo, vin atake Tir. L'ap soti nan nò avèk chwal, cha lagè, kavalye ak yon gwo lame sòlda.
“For the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring on Tyre Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, from the north, with horses, with chariots, with horsemen, and an army with many people.
8 Li pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a. Li pral fouye gwo kannal, li pral anpile ranblè tout arebò ou. Li pral moute yon miray ak plak fè pou pare kou.
He will kill your daughters in the field with the sword. He will make forts against you, cast up a mound against you, and raise up the buckler against you.
9 Li pral frape sou miray yo avèk gwo poto. Li pral demoli gwo fò won yo ak gwo pens fè.
He will set his battering engines against your walls, and with his axes he will break down your towers.
10 Tèlman pral gen chwal, chwal yo pral leve yon gwo nwaj pousyè dèyè yo ki pral kouvri lavil la. Lè kavalye l' yo ap pase sou chwal yo, lè cha lagè yo ak kabwa pwovizyon yo ap pase antre nan pòtay ou yo, miray yo pral tranble. Yo pral antre nan lavil la tankou si miray yo te tonbe.
By reason of the abundance of his horses, their dust will cover you. Your walls will shake at the noise of the horsemen, of the wagons, and of the chariots, when he enters into your gates, as men enter into a city which is broken open.
11 Nou pral tande bri zago chwal li yo nan tout lari yo. L'ap fè yo touye tout moun ak nepe. Bèl gwo poto solid ou yo pral tonbe atè.
He will tread down all your streets with the hoofs of his horses. He will kill your people with the sword. The pillars of your strength will go down to the ground.
12 Yo pral pran tout richès ou yo, yo pral piye tout machandiz ou yo. Y'ap kraze tout miray ou yo, y'ap demoli tout bèl kay ou yo. Y'ap pran wòch yo, bwa yo ak tout rès demoli yo, y'ap jete yo nan lanmè.
They will make a plunder of your riches and make a prey of your merchandise. They will break down your walls and destroy your pleasant houses. They will lay your stones, your timber, and your dust in the middle of the waters.
13 M'ap fè nou sispann chante. Yo p'ap tande mizik gita nou yo ankò.
I will cause the noise of your songs to cease. The sound of your harps won’t be heard any more.
14 Lavil la pral tounen yon gwo pil wòch, se la pechè yo pral cheche senn yo. Yo p'ap janm rebati lavil la ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
I will make you a bare rock. You will be a place for the spreading of nets. You will be built no more; for I the LORD have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
15 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di moun lavil Tir yo: Lè lavil la va tonbe nan men lènmi l' yo, lè y'a pran masakre moun ladan l', lè moun y'ap touye yo ap rele, moun ki rete tout bò gwo lanmè a va tranble.
“The Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Won’t the islands shake at the sound of your fall, when the wounded groan, when the slaughter is made within you?
16 Tout wa peyi k'ap fè kòmès sou lanmè a ap desann soti sou fotèy yo, y'ap wete gwo manto ak bèl rad bwode ki te sou yo. Yo pral chita atè sitèlman y'ap pè. Yo pral sitèlman sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'ap tranble san rete.
Then all the princes of the sea will come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. They will clothe themselves with trembling. They will sit on the ground, and will tremble every moment, and be astonished at you.
17 Yo pral plenn sò ou. Yo pral di: -Gade yon malè! Gwo lavil la disparèt! Tout batiman l' yo koule! Jan moun lavil sa yo te mèt lanmè a! Yo te fè tout moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a pè yo.
They will take up a lamentation over you, and tell you, “How you are destroyed, who were inhabited by seafaring men, the renowned city, who was strong in the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all who lived there!”
18 Koulye a, tout moun bò gwo lanmè yo ap tranble lè y'a wè ou tonbe nan men lènmi ou yo. Wi, moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a p'ap konn sa pou yo fè lè y'a wè jan ou fini an!
Now the islands will tremble in the day of your fall. Yes, the islands that are in the sea will be dismayed at your departure.’
19 Paske, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap fè ou tounen yon dezè, tankou lavil kote pa gen moun rete. M'ap fè dlo lanmè a leve dèyè ou, l'ap kouvri ou nèt ale.
“For the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city, like the cities that are not inhabited, when I bring up the deep on you, and the great waters cover you,
20 M'ap fè nou desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap voye nou al jwenn moun ki mouri depi lontan yo. M'ap fè nou al rete nan peyi ki anba tè a, kote nou pral rete pou kont nou, pou tout tan ansanm ak moun ki mouri deja yo. Konsa, nou p'ap gen plas nou ankò sou latè pami vivan yo.
then I will bring you down with those who descend into the pit, to the people of old time, and will make you dwell in the lower parts of the earth, in the places that are desolate of old, with those who go down to the pit, that you be not inhabited; and I will set glory in the land of the living.
21 Mwen pral fè tout moun pè lè yo wè sa ki rive nou. Se konsa n'a fini. Moun va chache nou, men yo p'ap janm jwenn nou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
I will make you a terror, and you will no more have any being. Though you are sought for, yet you will never be found again,’ says the Lord GOD.”
