Ezekyèl 34
1 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
Yahweh’s word came 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 against the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and tell them, even the shepherds, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Shouldn’t the shepherds feed the sheep?
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. You clothe yourself with the wool. You kill the fatlings, but you don’t feed the sheep.
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 haven’t strengthened the diseased. You haven’t healed that which was sick. You haven’t bound up that which was broken. You haven’t brought back that which was driven away. You haven’t sought that which was lost, but you have ruled over them with force and with rigor.
5 Paske mouton yo te san gadò, yo gaye nan raje yo, bèt nan bwa touye yo.
They were scattered, because there was no shepherd. They became food to all the animals of the field, and were 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 sheep wandered through all the mountains and on every high hill. Yes, my sheep were scattered on all the surface of the earth. There was no one who searched or sought.”
7 Se poutèt sa, nou menm gadò ki reskonsab pèp Izrayèl la, koute sa Seyè a voye di nou.
“‘Therefore, you shepherds, hear Yahweh’s word:
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,” says the Lord Yahweh, “surely because my sheep became a prey, and my sheep became food to all the animals of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds didn’t search for my sheep, but the shepherds fed themselves, and didn’t feed my sheep,
9 Konsa, nou menm gadò pèp la, koute pawòl mwen menm, Seyè a, m'ap di nou.
therefore, you shepherds, hear Yahweh’s word!”
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.
The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against the shepherds. I will require my sheep at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheep. The shepherds won’t feed themselves any more. I will deliver my sheep from their mouth, that they may not be food for 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 the Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I myself, even I, will search for my sheep, and will seek them 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 seeks out his flock in the day that he is among his sheep that are scattered abroad, so I will seek out my sheep. I will deliver them out of all places where they have been scattered in the cloudy and dark day.
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.
I will bring them out from the peoples, and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited places of the country.
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 will feed them with good pasture, and their fold will be on the mountains of the height of Israel. There they will lie down in a good fold. They will feed on rich pasture on the 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 myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down,” says the Lord Yahweh.
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 will seek that which was lost, and will bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen that which was sick; but I will destroy the fat and the strong. I will feed them in justice.”’
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.
“As for you, O my flock, the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Behold, I judge between sheep and sheep, the rams and the 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.
Does it seem a small thing to you to have fed on the good pasture, but you must tread down with your feet the residue of your pasture? And to have drunk of the clear waters, but must you foul the residue 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.
As for my sheep, they eat that which you have trodden with your feet, and they drink that which you have fouled with 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 the Lord Yahweh says to them: ‘Behold, I, even I, will judge between the fat sheep and the 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 with side and with shoulder, and push all the diseased with your horns, until you have scattered them abroad,
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 will save my flock, and they will no more be a prey. I will judge 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.
I will set up one shepherd over them, and he will feed them, even my servant David. He will feed them, and he will be 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.
I, Yahweh, will be their God, and my servant David prince among them. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.
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.
“‘I will make with them a covenant of peace, and will cause evil animals to cease out of the land. They will dwell securely in the wilderness and sleep in the woods.
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.
I will make them and the places around my hill a blessing. I will cause the shower to come down in its season. There will be 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.
The tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the earth will yield its increase, and they will be secure in their land. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have broken the bars of their yoke, and have delivered them out of the hand of those who made slaves of 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.
They will no more be a prey to the nations, neither will the animals of the earth devour them; but they will dwell securely, and no one will make them afraid.
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.
I will raise up to them a plantation for renown, and they will no more be consumed with famine in the land, and not bear the shame of the nations any more.
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.
They will know that I, Yahweh, their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, says the Lord Yahweh.
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.
You my sheep, the sheep of my pasture, are men, and I am your God,’ says the Lord Yahweh.”
