Ezekyèl 28
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 -Nonm o! Pale ak chèf peyi Tir la, di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li: Lògèy vire lòlòj ou! Ou pretann di se yon bondye ou ye. Ou chita tankou Bondye sou fotèy ou, nan mitan lanmè. Ou mèt pran pòz bondye ou jan ou vle, se moun ou ye, ou pa Bondye.
'Son of man, say unto the prince of Tyre: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thy heart is lifted up, and thou hast said: I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the heart of the seas; yet thou art man, and not God, though thou didst set thy heart as the heart of God —
3 Ou met nan tèt ou ou gen plis konprann pase Danèl. Pa gen sekrè ki kache pou ou.
Behold, thou art wiser than Daniel! there is no secret that they can hide from thee!
4 Se bon konprann ou ak lespri ou genyen ki fè ou rich konsa. Ou ranmase bonkou lò ak ajan mete lakay ou.
By thy wisdom and by thy discernment thou hast gotten thee riches, and hast gotten gold and silver into thy treasures;
5 Ou gen anpil ladrès nan fè kòmès, ou fè anpil lajan. Ou kite richès ou yo vire tèt ou.
In thy great wisdom by thy traffic hast thou increased thy riches, and thy heart is lifted up because of thy riches —
6 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di ou: Ou met nan tèt ou ou gen konprann tankou Bondye.
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast set thy heart as the heart of God;
7 Enben, mwen pral fè moun lòt nasyon vin atake ou. San manman pase yo pa genyen. Yo pral kraze dènye bèl bagay ou te ranmase ak bon konprann ou an. Yo p'ap gen respè pou gwo pozisyon ou lan.
Therefore, behold, I will bring strangers upon thee, the terrible of the nations; and they shall draw their swords against the beauty of thy wisdom, and they shall defile thy brightness.
8 Yo pral touye ou. Ou pral mouri neye nan mitan lanmè.
They shall bring thee down to the pit; and thou shalt die the deaths of them that are slain, in the heart of the seas.
9 Lè y'a vini pou yo touye ou la, w'a pretann di se yon bondye ou ye toujou? Pou moun k'ap touye ou yo, se moun w'ap ye. Ou p'ap yon bondye kras.
Wilt thou yet say before him that slayeth thee: I am God? But thou art man, and not God, in the hand of them that defile thee.
10 W'ap mouri tankou moun ki pa konn Bondye. Se moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap touye ou. Mwen fin pale. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
Thou shalt die the deaths of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken, saith the Lord GOD.'
11 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
12 -Nonm o! Ou pral plenn sò k'ap tann wa peyi Tir la. Di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba ou: Te gen yon lè se ou ki te pi bon. Tout moun t'ap gade sou ou. Ou te gen bon konprann. Ou te yon bèl bagay nan je tout moun.
'Son of man, take up a lamentation for the king of Tyre, and say unto him: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou seal most accurate, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty,
13 Ou t'ap viv nan jaden Edenn lan, jaden Bondye a. Ou te mete tout kalite bèl pyè koute chè sou ou: ribi, topaz, dyaman, krizolit, oniks, jasp, safi, malachi, emwòd. Tout bèl bijou ki te sou ou te fèt an lò. Se jou Bondye t'ap kreye ou la li te fè pare yo pou ou.
thou wast in Eden the garden of God; every precious stone was thy covering, the carnelian, the topaz, and the emerald, the beryl, the onyx, and the jasper, the sapphire, the carbuncle, and the smaragd, and gold; the workmanship of thy settings and of thy sockets was in thee, in the day that thou wast created they were prepared.
14 Mwen mete yon zanj cheriben avè ou pou pwoteje ou. Se sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an ou te rete. Ou mache nan mitan gwo dife.
Thou wast the far-covering cherub; and I set thee, so that thou wast upon the holy mountain of God; thou hast walked up and down in the midst of stones of fire.
15 Depi jou Bondye kreye ou la, ou pa t' fè anyen pou yo te fè ou repwòch, jouk jou ou konmanse fè sa ki mal.
Thou wast perfect in thy ways from the day that thou wast created, till unrighteousness was found in thee.
16 Pou fè kòmès ou mache, ou lage kò ou nan mechanste. Ou fè peche. Se konsa mwen mete ou deyò sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an. Ou pa t' bon pou sèvis mwen ankò. Zanj mwen te chwazi pou pwoteje ou la mete ou deyò nan mitan boul dife yo.
By the multitude of thy traffic they filled the midst of thee with violence, and thou hast sinned; therefore have I cast thee as profane out of the mountain of God; and I have destroyed thee, O covering cherub, from the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Ou te wè jan ou te bèl, sa fè ou pèdi tèt ou. Paske ou te rive nan yon bèl pozisyon, ou tanmen aji tankou moun fou. Se poutèt sa mwen voye ou jete atè. Mwen kite ou la devan lòt wa yo pou yo wè sa ki rive ou.
Thy heart was lifted up because of thy beauty, thou hast corrupted thy wisdom by reason of thy brightness; I have cast thee to the ground, I have laid thee before kings, that they may gaze upon thee.
18 Ou sitèlman fè mechanste ak vis nan kòmès ou yo, ou pa respekte ata tanp ou yo. Mwen mete dife nan lavil ou yo. Yo boule nèt. Tout moun ki t'ap gade ou yo wè ou tounen sann.
By the multitude of thine iniquities, in the unrighteousness of thy traffic, thou hast profaned thy sanctuaries; therefore have I brought forth a fire from the midst of thee, it hath devoured thee, and I have turned thee to ashes upon the earth in the sight of all them that behold thee.
19 Tout moun ki te konnen ou nan lòt peyi yo sezi, yo pè pou sa ki rive ou la pa rive yo tou. Ou fini, ou fini nèt.
All they that know thee among the peoples shall be appalled at thee; thou art become a terror, and thou shalt never be any more.'
20 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
21 -Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon lavil Sidon an. Denonse sa moun sa yo ap fè.
'Son of man, set thy face toward Zidon, and prophesy against it,
22 W'a di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Nou menm, moun lavil Sidon, n'ap leve dèyè nou tou. Apre sa mwen pral fè nou an, moun pral fè lwanj mwen, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, paske mwen pral pini moun ki rete nan lavil la. Konsa, m'a fè moun wè se yon Bondye apa mwen ye.
and say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I am against thee, O Zidon, and I will be glorified in the midst of thee; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall have executed judgments in her, and shall be sanctified in her.
23 Mwen pral voye maladi sou yo. San moun pral koule nan tout lari. Lènmi ap soti toupatou vin atake yo. Moun pral mouri nan lavil la. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
For I will send into her pestilence and blood in her streets; and the wounded shall fall in the midst of her by the sword upon her on every side; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
24 Seyè a di ankò: -Pèp Izrayèl la ap viv nan mitan yon bann nasyon ki pa vle wè l'. Yo tankou pikan raje k'ap grafiyen l', men yo pral sispann giyonnen l'. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, sèl Mèt la.
And there shall be no more a pricking brier unto the house of Israel, nor a piercing thorn of any that are round about them, that did have them in disdain; and they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
25 Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Mwen pral ranmase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan mitan tout nasyon kote m' te gaye yo a, m'ap mennen yo tounen. Konsa, mwen pral fè tout nasyon yo wè se yon Bondye apa mwen ye. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va rete nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, sèvitè m' lan.
Thus saith the Lord GOD: When I shall have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and shall be sanctified in them in the sight of the nations, then shall they dwell in their own land which I gave to My servant Jacob.
26 Yo pral viv nan peyi a san danje, san malè. Yo pral bati kay, y'ap plante jaden rezen. M'ap pini tout nasyon ki rete toupre yo epi ki pa vle wè yo. Pèp Izrayèl la menm ap viv san danje, san malè. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye yo a.
And they shall dwell safely therein, and shall build houses, and plant vineyards; yea, they shall dwell safely; when I have executed judgments upon all those that have them in disdain round about them; and they shall know that I am the LORD their God.'
