Ezekyèl 3

1 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Manje sa m' ba ou la a. Manje woulo liv la. Apre sa, al pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo.

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, eat that you find; eat this roll, and go speak to the house of Israel.

2 Se konsa, mwen louvri bouch mwen, li fè m' manje woulo liv la.

So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.

3 Li di m' ankò. -Nonm o! Manje non, plen vant ou ak liv mwen ba ou a. Mwen manje l', li te dous nan bouch mwen kou siwo myèl.

And he said to me, Son of man, cause your belly to eat, and fill your bowels with this roll that I give you. Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.

4 Lèfini, Bondye di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Ale bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo tout pawòl mwen te di ou di yo.

And he said to me, Son of man, go, get you to the house of Israel, and speak with my words to them.

5 Se pa bò kote yon nasyon ki pale yon lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Se bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm mwen voye ou.

For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of an hard language, but to the house of Israel;

6 Se pa bò kote bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki pale lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Si se te bò kote moun sa yo m' te voye ou, yo ta koute ou.

Not to many people of a strange speech and of an hard language, whose words you can not understand. Surely, had I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.

7 Men, pa gen pyès moun nan pèp Izrayèl la k'ap vle koute ou, paske yo pa vle koute m'. Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo gen tèt di ak move santiman nan kè yo.

But the house of Israel will not listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are impudent and hardhearted.

8 Koulye a, m'ap fè ou kenbe tèt ak yo tankou yo kenbe tèt ak mwen an, pou ou ka koresponn ak yo.

Behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and your forehead strong against their foreheads.

9 M'ap fè tèt ou di pase wòch, l'ap di tankou wòch dyaman. Pa pè yo, pa tranble devan yo. Se yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di yo ye.

As an adamant harder than flint have I made your forehead: fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they be a rebellious house.

10 Bondye di ankò: -Nonm o! Louvri zòrèy ou, tande sa mapral di ou. Kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè ou.

Moreover he said to me, Son of man, all my words that I shall speak to you receive in your heart, and hear with your ears.

11 Apre sa, ale bò kote moun yo te depòte yo, moun menm peyi avè ou yo. W'a pale ak yo, w'a di yo men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, m' voye di yo. Yo te mèt koute ou, yo te mèt pa koute ou, zafè yo!

And go, get you to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, Thus says the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.

12 Apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pran m', li leve m' anlè. Mwen tande yon bann vwa dèyè do m' ki t'ap di: Lwanj pou Seyè a ki fè wè gwo pouvwa li nan syèl kote l' rete a.

Then the spirit took me up, and I heard behind me a voice of a great rushing, saying, Blessed be the glory of the LORD from his place.

13 Mwen tande bri zèl bèt yo ki t'ap bat ansanm ak bri wou yo, ou ta di bri yon foul moun k'ap rele.

I heard also the noise of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the noise of the wheels over against them, and a noise of a great rushing.

14 Lespri a te leve m' anlè, li pote m' ale. Pouvwa Seyè a te vin chita sou mwen avèk fòs. Men, mwen te boulvèse, kè m' te sere.

So the spirit lifted me up, and took me away, and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; but the hand of the LORD was strong on me.

15 Se konsa mwen rive lavil Tèl Abid toupre larivyè Keba kote moun yo te depòte yo te rete a. Pandan sèt jou, mwen rete la nan mitan yo, tou dekontwole apre tou sa m' te wè ak tou sa m' te tande.

Then I came to them of the captivity at Telabib, that dwelled by the river of Chebar, and I sat where they sat, and remained there astonished among them seven days.

16 Apre sèt jou sa yo, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:

And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

17 -Nonm o! Mwen mete ou faksyonnè pou nasyon Izrayèl la. W'a tande mesaj m'a ba ou, w'a avèti yo pou mwen.

Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel: therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.

18 Lè mwen fè ou konnen yon mechan gen pou l' mouri, si ou pa avèti l' pou l' chanje, pou l' kite move pant l'ap swiv la pou l' ka sove lavi l', l'ap toujou mouri poutèt peche li fè yo, men se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.

When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you give him not warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.

19 Men, si ou avèti mechan an, lèfini mechan an pa chanje, li pa kite move pant l'ap swiv la, l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo. Men ou menm, w'ap sove lavi pa ou.

Yet if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.

20 Si yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat tanmen fè sa ki mal, m'ap mete yon malè sou wout li pou l' mouri. Si ou pa avèti l', l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo, mwen p'ap chonje jan l' te konn mache dwat anvan sa a. Men, se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.

Again, When a righteous man does turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die: because you have not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteousness which he has done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.

21 Si okontrè, ou avèti yon moun k'ap mache dwat pou l' pa fè sa ki mal, si li koute ou, si li pa fè sa ki mal, li p'ap mouri. Ou menm tou, w'a sove lavi ou.

Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he does not sin, he shall surely live, because he is warned; also you have delivered your soul.

22 Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Li di m' konsa: -Leve non. Soti al nan fon an. M'a pale la avè ou.

And the hand of the LORD was there on me; and he said to me, Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with you.

23 Mwen leve, mwen desann al nan fon an. Lè m' rive la, mwen wè gwo bèl limyè ki te fè m' konprann Seyè a te kanpe la, tankou mwen te wè l' bò larivyè Keba a. Mwen tonbe sou de jenou m', tèt mwen bese jouk atè.

Then I arose, and went forth into the plain: and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river of Chebar: and I fell on my face.

24 Men, Lespri Bondye a antre sou mwen, li fè m' kanpe sou de pye m'. Li pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Al fèmen kò ou lakay ou.

Then the spirit entered into me, and set me on my feet, and spoke with me, and said to me, Go, shut yourself within your house.

25 Nonm o! Yo pral mete ou anba kòd. Y'ap mare ou byen mare, ou p'ap ka mete pwent pye ou deyò.

But you, O son of man, behold, they shall put bands on you, and shall bind you with them, and you shall not go out among them:

26 Mwen pral fè lang ou lou nan bouch ou. W'ap bèbè, ou p'ap ka avèti move ras moun tèt di sa yo.

And I will make your tongue sticks to the roof of your mouth, that you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: for they are a rebellious house.

27 Apre sa, lè m'a pale avè ou ankò, m'a ba ou lapawòl, epi w'a ba yo mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'a ba ou. Sa ki vle koute va koute, sa ki pa vle koute, zafè yo! Se yon move ras moun tèt di yo ye.

But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD; He that hears, let him hear; and he that declines, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
