Ezekyèl 29
1 Sou douzyèm jou nan dizyèm mwa, dizyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon peyi Lejip. Bay mesaj sa a sou farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ak sou tout peyi Lejip.
Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
3 Pale avè l'. Di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. -Ou menm farawon an, wa peyi Lejip, mwen pral leve dèyè ou tou. Ou tankou yon gwo kayiman ki kouche nan larivyè Nil la. Ou di se pou ou larivyè Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.
Speak, and say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the middle of his rivers, which has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.
4 Mwen pral kwoke yon zen antravè nan machwè ou. Tout pwason larivyè a pral kole sou ou. Lèfini, m'ap rale ou soti nan larivyè a ak tout pwason yo kole sou ou.
But I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales, and I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers shall stick to your scales.
5 Mwen pral voye ou jete ansanm ak tout pwason yo nan dezè a. Ou pral tonbe atè a. Yo p'ap ranmase ou, ni yo p'ap antere ou. M'ap fè ou rete la pou zwezo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa vin manje ou.
And I will leave you thrown into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers: you shall fall on the open fields; you shall not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given you for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
6 Lè sa a, tout moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Seyè a di ankò: -Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te konte sou ou, men ou pa t' pi solid pase yon baton wozo.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the LORD, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Lè yo apiye sou ou, ou kase nan men yo, ou dechire tout po men yo. Wi, lè yo apiye sou ou, yo tonbe, ren yo kase.
When they took hold of you by your hand, you did break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned on you, you brake, and made all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Se poutèt sa, koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ou: Mwen pral voye moun atake ou avèk nepe. Yo pral touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt lakay ou.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and cut off man and beast out of you.
9 Peyi Lejip la pral tounen yon dezè kote moun pa rete, yon pil mazi. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Ou te di se pou ou Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.
And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he has said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
10 Enben, mwen pral leve dèyè ni ou, ni Nil ou a. Mwen pral fè peyi Lejip la tounen yon pil mazi, yon dezè kote moun pa rete depi lavil Migdòl nan nò jouk lavil Aswan nan sid, rive desann sou fwontyè peyi Letiopi.
Behold, therefore I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Ethiopia.
11 p'ap rete yon moun ni yon bèt nan peyi a. Pandan karant lanne peyi a ap rete san yon moun ladan l'.
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12 M'ap fè peyi Lejip la tounen peyi ki pi devaste sou tout latè. Pandan karant lanne tout lavil peyi Lejip yo pral tounen mazi. Y'ap kraze pi mal pase mazi nenpòt ki lòt lavil ki devaste. Mwen pral depòte moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt nasyon. M'ap gaye yo nan divès lòt peyi.
And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Apre karantan, m'ap pase men pran moun peyi Lejip yo nan mitan lòt nasyon kote mwen te gaye yo a,
Yet thus says the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people where they were scattered:
14 m'ap mennen yo tounen lakay yo. M'ap fè yo al rete nan zòn Patwòs la, kote zansèt yo te soti a. Y'ap fòme yon ti peyi tou fèb.
And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
15 Lè sa a, se va pi piti peyi nan tout peyi sou latè. Li p'ap janm rive donminen ankenn lòt nasyon. L'ap tèlman fèb, li p'ap janm ka fòse ankenn lòt nasyon fè volonte li.
It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
16 Pèp Izrayèl la p'ap janm bezwen konte sou li ankò. Sa va fè pèp Izrayèl la chonje jan li te gen tò pou l' te fye moun sa yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki sèl Mèt la.
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which brings their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
17 Nan premye jou nan premye mwa, vennsetyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
18 -Nonm o! Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, fè lame l' la fè yon gwo jefò pou y' al atake lavil Tir. Li fè sòlda yo travay sitèlman nan pote chay lou, yo pèdi tout cheve nan mitan tèt yo, tout zepòl yo kòche. Men, ni wa a, ni lame l' la pa soti ak anyen apre gwo atak sa a yo te fè sou lavil la.
Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
19 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Mwen pral bay Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, peyi Lejip la pou li. Li pral pran tout richès li yo, l'ap mete men sou tou sa li jwenn, l'ap piye peyi a nèt: Se konsa l'a peye sòlda li yo.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
20 Wi, pou tout gwo sèvis li rann mwen yo, m'ap fè l' kado peyi Lejip la. Paske, se pou mwen yo t'ap travay. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor with which he served against it, because they worked for me, says the Lord GOD.
21 Lè sa a, m'ap fè pèp Izrayèl la pran fòs. Ou menm menm, Ezekyèl, m'ap ba ou lizay lapawòl ankò pou tout moun ka tande ou. Konsa, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the middle of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
