Ezekyèl 35
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 -Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon mòn Seyi, bay moun Edon yo mesaj mwen ba ou pou yo a.
“Son of man, set your face against mount Seir, and you shall prophesy about it, and you shall say to it:
3 W'a di yo men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou: Nou menm moun peyi Seyi, m'ap leve dèyè nou tou! Mwen pral lonje men m' sou nou pou m' pini nou. M'ap fè peyi a tounen yon dezè san pesonn ladan l'.
Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, mount Seir, and I will extend my hand over you, and I will make you desolate and deserted.
4 M'ap fè tout lavil nou yo tounen mazi. M'ap fè peyi a rete san pesonn ladan l'. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
I will tear down your cities, and you will be deserted. And you shall know that I am the Lord.
5 Nou pa janm sispann rayi moun Izrayèl yo. Lè malè lagè tonbe sou yo, lè yo t'ap resevwa dènye chatiman pou peche yo a, nou lage yo nan men lènmi yo.
For you have been a continual adversary, and you have enclosed the sons of Israel, by the hands of the sword, in the time of their affliction, in the time of extreme iniquity.
6 Se poutèt sa, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap pale: m'ap fè nou benyen nan dlo kò nou, nou p'ap ka chape. Wi, nou te mete san yo deyò, san an gen pou pousib nou.
Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will hand you over to blood, and blood will pursue you. Even though you have hated blood, blood will pursue you.
7 M'ap fè mòn Seyi yo, peyi Edon an, tounen yon dezè kote moun pa rete. M'ap touye dènye moun k'ap ale vini nan peyi nou an.
And I will make mount Seir desolate and deserted. And I will take away from it the one who departs and the one who returns.
8 Mwen pral kouvri mòn nou yo ak kadav. Ti mòn nou yo, fon nou yo ak ravin nou yo pral kouvri ak kadav moun yo touye nan lagè.
And I will fill up its mountains with its slain. In your hills, and in your valleys, as well as in your torrents, the slain will fall by the sword.
9 M'ap fè peyi nou an tounen dezè pou toutan. p'ap gen yon moun nan lavil nou yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
I will hand you over to everlasting desolations, and your cities will not be inhabited. And you shall know that I am the Lord God.
10 Nou te di konsa ni nasyon Izrayèl la, ni nasyon Jida a ansanm ak tout peyi yo a, se pou nou yo ye, nou pral pran yo pou nou, malgre se mwen menm ki te Bondye yo a.
For you have said, ‘Two nations and two lands will be mine, and I will possess them as an inheritance,’ though the Lord was in that place.
11 Enben! Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm, Seyè a, k'ap pale: Jan nou te move sou yo! Jan nou te rayi sò yo! Jan nou pa t' vle wè yo! M'ap fè nou peye pou tou sa. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm k'ap pini nou pou tou sa nou te fè yo.
Because of this, as I live, says the Lord God, I will act in accord with your own wrath, and in accord with your own zeal, by which you have acted with hatred toward them. And I will be made known by them, when I will have judged you.
12 Wi, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, mwen te tande jan nou t'ap pase mòn peyi Izrayèl yo nan betiz, lè n'ap plede di: Yo tounen yon dezè, yo ban nou yo pou n' ka devore yo.
And you shall know that I, the Lord, have heard all your disgraces, which you have spoken about the mountains of Israel, saying: ‘They are deserted. They have been given to us to devour.’
13 Mwen te tande ak zòrèy mwen jan nou te derespekte m', jan nou pa t' manke pale m' mal.
And you rose up against me with your mouth, and you disparaged against me with your words. I have heard.
14 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Tout moun sou latè pral kontan lè m'a fè peyi nou an tounen yon dezè
Thus says the Lord God: When the whole earth will rejoice, I will reduce you to solitude.
15 menm jan nou te kontan wè peyi moun Izrayèl yo, peyi moun ki rele m' pa m' yo, tounen yon dezè. Tout mòn Seyi yo, wi, tout peyi Edon an, pral tounen dezè. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
Just as you have rejoiced over the inheritance of the house of Israel, when it was laid waste, so will I act toward you. You will be laid waste, O mount Seir, with all of Idumea. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
