< Ezekyèl 30 >
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
The word of the LORD came again 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 say, 'Thus says the LORD: "Wail, 'Alas 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 the day is near, even the day of the LORD is near; it shall be a day of clouds, a time of 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.
A sword shall come on Egypt, and anguish shall be in Ethiopia, when the slain shall fall in Egypt; and they shall take away her multitude, and her foundations shall be 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.
Ethiopia, and Put, and Lud, and all the mixed people, and Cub, and the children of the land that is allied with them, shall fall with them by the sword."'
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 says the LORD: 'They also who uphold Egypt shall fall; and the pride of her power shall come down: from the tower of Syene shall they fall in it by the sword,' says the LORD.
7 Se peyi sa a ki pral pi mal nan tout peyi yo devaste yo. Lavil li yo pral tounen mazi nèt.
'They shall be desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate; and her cities shall be in the midst of the cities that are wasted.
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.
They shall know that I am the LORD, when I have set a fire in Egypt, and all her helpers are destroyed.
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 shall messengers go forth from before me in ships to make the careless Ethiopians afraid; and there shall be anguish on them, as in the day of Egypt; for, look, it comes.'
10 Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Mwen pral sèvi ak Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pou m' fini ak richès peyi Lejip la.
"Thus says the LORD: 'I will also make 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 the nations, shall be brought in to destroy the land; and they shall draw their swords against Egypt, and fill the land with the slain.
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.
I will make the rivers dry, and will sell the land into the hand of evil men; and I will make the land desolate, and all that is in it, by the hand of strangers: I, the LORD, have spoken it.'
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 says the LORD: 'I will also destroy the idols, and I will cause the images to cease from Memphis; and there shall be no more a prince from the land of Egypt: and I will put a 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.
I will make Pathros desolate, and will set a fire in Zoan, and will execute judgments on 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.
I will pour my wrath on Sin, the stronghold of Egypt; and I will 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.
I will set a fire in Egypt: Sin shall be in great anguish, and No shall be broken up; and Memphis shall have adversaries in the daytime.
17 Tout jenn gason lavil Eliopolis ak lavil Boubastis yo ap mouri nan lagè. Y'ap depòte tout rès moun yo.
The young men of On and of Pi-beseth shall fall by the sword; and these cities shall 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.
At Tehaphnehes also the day shall withdraw itself, when I shall break there the yokes of Egypt, and the pride of her power shall cease in her: as for her, a cloud shall cover her, and her daughters shall go into captivity.
19 Se konsa mwen pral pini peyi Lejip. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
Thus will I execute judgments on Egypt; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'"
20 Nan setyèm jou premye mwa, onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
It happened in the eleventh year, in the first month, in the seventh day of the month, that the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
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.
"Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt; and look, it has not been bound up, to apply healing medicines, to put a bandage to bind it, that it be strong to hold 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 says the LORD: 'Look, I am against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and will break his arms, the strong arm, and that which was broken; and I will cause 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.
I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
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.
I will strengthen the arms of the king of Babylon, and put my sword in his hand: but I will break the arms of Pharaoh, and he shall groan before him with the groanings of a deadly wounded man.
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.
I will hold up the arms of the king of Babylon; and the arms of Pharaoh shall fall down; and they shall know that I am the LORD, when I shall put my sword into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall stretch it out on 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.
I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and disperse them through the countries; and they shall know that I am the LORD.'"
