Ezekyèl 30
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Bay mesaj Bondye a! Fè konnen sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ou di: -Rele non! Ala yon move jou!
“Son of man, prophesy, and you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Howl, Aah! For the day!
3 Jou a ap pwoche. Wi, dat pou Seyè a aji a ap pwoche vre. Jou sa a, syèl la ap fèmen. Se va yon jou malè pou nasyon yo.
For a day [is] near, a day [is] near to YHWH! It is a time of cloud [over] the nations.
4 Pral gen lagè nan tout peyi Lejip. Gwo lafliksyon pral tonbe sou peyi Letiopi. Anpil moun pral mouri nan peyi Lejip. Yo pral piye peyi a nèt ale. Y'a kraze ata fondasyon kay li yo.
And a sword has come into Egypt, And there has been great pain in Cush, In the falling of the wounded in Egypt, And they have taken its store, And its foundations have been broken down.
5 Nan lagè sa a, yo pral touye tout sòlda li yo, ki vle di tout moun peyi Letiopi, moun peyi Pout, moun peyi Loud, moun peyi Arabi, moun peyi Koub. Ata moun peyi pa m' lan, Izrayèl, ki t'ap sèvi nan lame Lejip la ap mouri ansanm ak yo tou.
Cush, and Phut, and Lud, and all the mixture, and Chub, And the sons of the land of the covenant fall by sword with them,
6 Men sa Seyè a di ankò: -Tout moun ki t'ap pran defans peyi Lejip la pral mouri. Gwo bèl lame Lejip la pral disparèt. Wi, depi lavil Migdòl nan nò desann lavil Aswan nan sid, yo tout ap mouri nan lagè. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
Thus said YHWH: And those supporting Egypt have fallen, And the arrogance of her strength has come down, From Migdol to Syene, they fall by sword in her, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
7 Se peyi sa a ki pral pi mal nan tout peyi yo devaste yo. Lavil li yo pral tounen mazi nèt.
And they have been desolated in the midst of desolate lands, And its cities are in the midst of cities [that are] laid waste.
8 Lè m'a mete dife nan peyi Lejip, lè tout moun ki t'ap goumen pou li yo va tonbe mouri, lè sa a y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving fire against Egypt, And all her helpers have been broken.
9 Lè jou sa a va vini, jou pou yo detwi peyi Lejip la, m'ap voye mesaje nan bato pou y' al pran tèt moun ki t'ap viv kè pòpòz nan peyi Letiopi yo. Moun sa yo pral kraponnen anpil. Wi, jou sa a pa lwen rive.
In that day messengers go forth from before Me in ships, To trouble confident Cush, And there has been great pain among them, As the day of Egypt, for behold, it has come.
10 Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Mwen pral sèvi ak Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pou m' fini ak richès peyi Lejip la.
Thus said Lord YHWH: I have caused the multitude of Egypt to cease, By the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon,
11 Wa a va vini ak lame sòlda li yo pou yo ravaje tout peyi a. Se moun Babilòn sa yo ki pi mechan pase tout lòt nasyon. Yo pral atake peyi Lejip avèk nepe yo nan men yo. Pral gen kadav nan tout peyi a.
He and his people with him—the terrible of nations, Are brought in to destroy the land, And they have drawn their swords against Egypt, And have filled the land [with] the wounded.
12 Mwen pral cheche dlo larivyè Nil la, m'ap lage peyi a nan men ansasen. M'ap fè moun lòt nasyon yo ravaje peyi a nèt ansanm ak tou sa ki ladan l'. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.
And I have made floods a dry place, And I have sold the land into the hand of evildoers, And I have made the land desolate, And its fullness, by the hand of strangers, I, YHWH, have spoken.
13 Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Mwen pral detwi tout zidòl yo, m'ap disparèt tout fo bondye ki lavil Menmfis yo. p'ap gen pesonn pou gouvènen peyi Lejip la. M'ap fè tout moun nan peyi a pran tranble tèlman y'ap pè.
Thus said Lord YHWH: And I have destroyed idols, And caused vain things to cease from Noph, And there is no longer a prince of the land of Egypt, And I give fear in the land of Egypt.
14 M'ap devaste zòn Patwòs la nan sid peyi a. M'ap mete dife nan lavil Zoan nan nò. M'ap pini lavil Tèb, kapital peyi a.
And I have made Pathros desolate, And I have given fire against Zoan, And I have done judgments in No,
15 M'ap fè moun lavil Sin yo, lavil ki plen gwo ranpa pou defann peyi a, santi jan mwen konn fache. M'ap detwi tout richès lavil Tèb la.
And I have poured out My fury on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt, And I have cut off the multitude of No.
16 M'ap mete dife nan peyi Lejip. Lavil Sin lan pral nan gwo lapenn. Gwo miray lavil Tèb yo pral fann, y'ap kraze. Dlo pral anvayi tout lavil la.
And I have given fire against Egypt, Sin is greatly pained, and No is to be broken, And Noph has daily distresses.
17 Tout jenn gason lavil Eliopolis ak lavil Boubastis yo ap mouri nan lagè. Y'ap depòte tout rès moun yo.
The youths of Aven and Pi-Beseth fall by sword, And these go into captivity.
18 Fènwa pral kouvri lavil Tapanès gwo jounen, lè m'a kraze otorite pouvwa peyi Lejip la. Lè m'a fini ak fòs kouraj ki t'ap fè l' gonfle lestonmak li a, yon gwo nwaj pral kouvri tout peyi Lejip. Yo pral depòte dènye moun li yo.
And the day has been dark in Tehaphnehes, In My breaking the yokes of Egypt there, And the excellence of her strength has ceased in her, Her! A cloud covers her, And her daughters go into captivity.
19 Se konsa mwen pral pini peyi Lejip. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And I have done judgments in Egypt, And they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
20 Nan setyèm jou premye mwa, onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And it comes to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first [month], on the seventh of the month, a word of YHWH has been to me, saying, “Son of man,
21 -Nonm o! Mwen kase ponyèt farawon an, wa Lejip la. Pa gen pesonn ki mete renmèd sou li, pesonn ki mete l' nan fòm pou l' ka pran, pou l' ka gen fòs kenbe nepe nan men l' ankò.
I have broken the arm of Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And behold, it has not been bound up to give healing, To put a bandage to bind it, To strengthen it—to lay hold on the sword.
22 Se poutèt sa, koulye a men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: M'ap leve dèyè farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la. Mwen pral kase tou de ponyèt li yo, ni sa ki te enganm lan ni sa ki te kase deja a. M'ap fè nepe a soti tonbe nan men l'.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against Pharaoh, king of Egypt, And I have broken his arms, The strong one and the broken one, And have caused the sword to fall out of his hand,
23 Mwen pral gaye moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt peyi, mwen pral simaye yo nan mitan divès lòt nasyon sou latè.
And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And have spread them through lands,
24 Mwen pral bay ponyèt wa Babilòn lan fòs, m'ap mete nepe pa m' lan nan men l'. M'ap kase tou de ponyèt farawon yo. Li pral rakle, li pral soufri anpil, li pral mouri devan lènmi l' lan.
And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And have given My sword into his hand, And I have broken the arms of Pharaoh, And he has groaned the groans of a pierced one—before him.
25 Wi, m'ap bay ponyèt wa Babilòn lan fòs, men m'ap febli ponyèt farawon an. Lè m'a bay wa Babilòn lan nepe pa m' lan, lè l'a lonje l' sou peyi Lejip la, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And I have strengthened the arms of the king of Babylon, And the arms of Pharaoh fall down, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My giving My sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, And he has stretched it out toward the land of Egypt.
26 M'ap gaye moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt peyi, mwen pral simaye yo nan mitan divès lòt nasyon sou latè. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And I have scattered the Egyptians among nations, And I have spread them through lands, And they have known that I [am] YHWH!”
