Ezekyèl 34
1 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 -Nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a sou tout chèf ki reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la. Bay yo mesaj la, di yo: Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di yo: Madichon pou gadò pèp Izrayèl yo! Yo te mete yo la pou yo te swen pèp la, men se pwòp tèt yo ase yo konnen.
“Son of man, prophesy concerning shepherds of Israel, prophesy, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH to the shepherds: Woe [to] the shepherds of Israel, Who have been feeding themselves! Do the shepherds not feed the flock?
3 Nou bwè lèt mouton yo, nou pran lenn sou do yo pou fè rad mete sou nou, nou touye sa ki pi gra yo pou nou manje. Men, nou pa janm swen mouton yo.
You eat the fat, and you put on the wool, You slaughter the fed one, You do not feed the flock.
4 Nou pa bay sa ki mèg yo manje pou yo pran fòs. Nou pa swen sa ki malad yo. Nou pa mete renmèd sou sa ki blese yo. Nou pa fè sa ki te soti nan bann yo tounen nan plas yo. Nou pa al chache sa ki te pèdi yo. Lekontrè, nou sèvi ak pozisyon chèf nou an pou n' kraze yo, pou n' maltrete yo.
You have not strengthened the weak, And you have not healed the sick one, And you have not bound up the broken, And have not brought back the driven away, And you have not sought the lost, And you have ruled them with might and with rigor.
5 Paske mouton yo te san gadò, yo gaye nan raje yo, bèt nan bwa touye yo.
And they are scattered from want of a shepherd, And are for food to every beast of the field, Indeed, they are scattered.
6 Se konsa mouton yo gaye sou gwo mòn yo ak sou ti mòn yo. Mouton yo gaye toupatou sou latè. Pesonn pa okipe yo, pesonn pa chache kote yo ye.
My flock goes astray on all the mountains, And on every high hill, And My flock has been scattered on [the] whole face of the earth, And there is none inquiring, and none seeking.
7 Se poutèt sa, nou menm gadò ki reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la, koute sa Seyè a voye di nou.
Therefore, shepherds, hear a word of YHWH:
8 Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale. Bèt nan bwa atake mouton m' yo, yo devore yo, paske yo te san gadò. Gadò m' yo pa fè anyen pou mouton m' yo. Se tèt pa yo ase yo konnen. Yo pa swen mouton m' yo.
[As] I live—a declaration of Lord YHWH, If not, because of My flock being for a prey, Indeed, My flock is for food to every beast of the field, Because there is no shepherd, And My shepherds have not sought My flock, And the shepherds feed themselves, And they have not fed My flock.
9 Konsa, nou menm gadò pèp la, koute pawòl mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap di nou.
Therefore, O shepherds, hear a word of YHWH!
10 Wi, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye di nou: M'ap leve dèyè nou! M'ap wete mouton yo nan men nou. Mwen p'ap kite nou reskonsab mouton m' yo ankò. Konsa nou p'ap rete chita ap angrese tèt nou ase sou do mouton m' yo. Wi, m'ap wete mouton m' yo anba dan nou. Nou p'ap ka pwofite sou yo ankò.
Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against the shepherds, And have required My flock from their hand, And caused them to cease from feeding the flock, And the shepherds feed themselves no more, And I have delivered My flock from their mouth, And they are not for food to them.
11 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Se mwen menm menm ki pral chache mouton m' yo pou m' swen yo.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I—even I, have required My flock, And I have sought it out.
12 Menm jan yon gadò mache swen mouton l' yo ki te gaye, konsa m'ap mache sanble tout mouton m' yo, m'ap pran yo tout kote yo te gaye yo depi jou fènwa a, jou gwo malè a, m'ap fè yo tounen.
As a shepherd’s searching of his drove, In the day of his being in the midst of his scattered flock, so I seek My flock, And have delivered them out of all places, To where they have been scattered, In a day of cloud and thick darkness.
13 M'ap fè yo soti nan mitan moun lòt nasyon yo, m'ap sanble yo, m'ap mennen yo tounen nan pwòp peyi pa yo. M'ap mennen yo vin manje sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, nan fon yo, tout kote moun ka rete nan peyi a.
And I have brought them out from the peoples, And have gathered them from the lands, And brought them to their own ground, And have fed them on mountains of Israel, By streams, and by all dwellings of the land.
14 M'ap kite yo manje nan bon jaden zèb. Sou tout mòn byen wo nan peyi Izrayèl la, yo pral jwenn kote pou yo rete san danje. Se la yo pral poze kò yo, yo pral jwenn kont zèb vèt yo sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo.
I feed them with good pasture, And their habitation is on mountains of the high place of Israel, There they lie down in a good habitation, And they enjoy fat pastures on mountains of Israel.
15 Se mwen menm ki pral okipe mouton m' yo. Se mwen menm k'ap jwenn yon kote pou yo poze. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
I feed My flock, and cause them to lie down, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
16 Sa ki pèdi yo, m'ap chache yo. Sa ki te soti nan bann yo, m'ap fè yo tounen nan plas yo. Sa ki blese yo, m'ap mete renmèd pou yo. Sa ki malad yo, m'ap geri yo. Men, sa ki gra yo, sa ki byen gwo yo, m'ap touye yo. M'ap swen mouton m' yo jan m' dwe fè l' la.
I seek the lost, and bring back the driven away, And I bind up the broken, and I strengthen the sick, And I destroy the fat and the strong, I feed it with judgment.
17 Pou nou menm, mouton m' yo, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen voye di nou. Mwen pral jije nou chak. M'ap mete bon yo yon bò, move yo yon bò, belye mouton yo yon bò, bouk kabrit yo yon bò.
And you, My flock, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am judging between sheep and sheep, Between rams and male goats.
18 Genyen nan mitan nou, se yo ase ki pou manje pi bon zèb yo. Men, sa pa kont yo toujou. Se pou yo pilonnen anba pye yo sa ki pa manje yo. Se yo ase ki pou bwè bèl dlo fre. Men sa pa kont yo toujou, fòk yo sal rès dlo a ak pye yo.
Is it a little thing for you—[that] you enjoy the good pasture, And tread down the remnant of your pasture with your feet, And drink a depth of waters, And trample the remainder with your feet,
19 Konsa, rès mouton m' yo blije manje zèb lòt yo te pilonnen anba pye yo. Yo blije bwè rès dlo lòt yo te sal ak pye yo.
And My flock consumes the trodden thing of your feet, And drinks the trampled thing of your feet?
20 Se konsa, koulye a, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen voye di nou: Mwen pral jije mouton gra yo ak mouton mèg yo.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH to them: Behold, I—even I, have judged between fat sheep and lean sheep.
21 Nou pouse mouton ki san fòs yo sou kote, nou ba yo kou ak dèyè nou, ak pòtray nou, ak kòn nou jouk nou mete yo deyò, nou fè yo kite bann lan.
Because you thrust away with side and with shoulder, And push all the diseased with your horns, Until you have scattered them to the out-place,
22 Men, m'ap vin sove mouton m' yo, m' p'ap kite nou fè piyay sou do yo ankò. Se mwen menm k'ap jij nan mitan nou.
Therefore I have given safety to My flock, And they are not for prey anymore, And I have judged between sheep and sheep.
23 M'ap ba yo yon wa k'ap tankou David, sèvitè m' lan. Se li menm ki pral okipe yo, k'ap mennen yo manje. Se li menm k'ap gadò yo.
And have raised up one shepherd over them, And he has fed them—My servant David, He feeds them, and he is their shepherd,
24 Se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap Bondye yo. Se yon wa, tankou David sèvitè m' lan, ki va sèl chèf nan mitan yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
And I, YHWH, I am their God, And My servant David [is] prince in their midst, I, YHWH, have spoken.
25 M'ap pase ak yo yon kontra k'ap garanti yo kè poze, m'ap fè tout bèt nan bwa disparèt nan peyi a. Konsa mouton m' yo va rete san pwoblèm nan savann yo, y'a dòmi nan rakbwa yo.
And I have made a covenant of peace with them, And caused evil beasts to cease out of the land, And they have dwelt confidently in a wilderness, And they have slept in forests.
26 M'ap fè yo rete tout bò ti mòn ki apa pou mwen an. M'ap beni yo, m'ap ba yo bèl lapli lè pou lapli tonbe.
And I have given them, and the outskirts of My hill, a blessing, And caused the shower to come down in its season, They are showers of blessing.
27 Pyebwa nan jaden yo va donnen, jaden yo va bay bèl rekòt, tout moun pral viv ak kè poze nan peyi yo a. Lè m'a wete chenn lan nan kou yo, lè m'a delivre yo anba men moun ki te fè yo tounen esklav, lè sa a y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
And the tree of the field has given its fruit, And the land gives her increase, And they have been confident on their land, And they have known that I [am] YHWH, In My breaking the bands of their yoke, And I have delivered them from the hand of those laying service on them.
28 Moun lòt nasyon p'ap piye yo ankò. Bèt nan bwa p'ap devore yo ankò nan peyi a. Yo pral rete lakay yo san danje. Pesonn p'ap vin chache yo kont.
And they are no longer a prey to nations, And the beast of the earth does not devour them, And they have dwelt confidently, And there is none troubling.
29 M'ap ba yo bon venn tè nan jaden yo. Moun p'ap mouri grangou nan peyi a ankò. Lòt nasyon yo p'ap pase yo nan betiz ankò.
And I have raised a plantation of renown for them, And they are no longer consumed by hunger in the land, And they no longer bear the shame of the nations.
30 Tout moun va konnen se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye yo a, ki kanpe la avèk yo. Yo menm, moun fanmi Izrayèl yo, se pèp pa m' lan menm yo ye. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
And they have known that I, YHWH, their God, [am] with them, And they—the house of Israel—My people, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
31 Nou menm, moun, se mouton mwen nou ye, bann mouton m'ap okipe yo. Mwen menm, se Bondye nou mwen ye. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
And you, My flock, the flock of My pasture, You [are] men [and] I [am] your God, A declaration of Lord YHWH!”
