Ezekyèl 36

1 Seyè a di ankò: -Koulye a, nonm o! Men mesaj pou ou bay mòn Izrayèl yo, koute sa Seyè a voye di nou.

“And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel and say: O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the LORD.

2 Wi, men mesaj mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye ban nou: Lènmi moun Izrayèl yo ap pase nou nan betiz, y'ap di: Tout ansyen mòn sa yo pou nou koulye a!

This is what the Lord GOD says: Because the enemy has said of you, ‘Aha! The ancient heights have become our possession,’

3 Se poutèt sa, bay mesaj sa a. Fè yo konnen sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye di yo: Lè nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo te anvayi peyi Izrayèl la pou yo te piye l', pou yo pran l' pou yo, tout moun t'ap pale sou nou, yo t'ap pase nou nan betiz.

therefore prophesy and declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: Because they have made you desolate and have trampled you on every side, so that you became a possession of the rest of the nations and were taken up in slander by the lips of their talkers,

4 Enben, koulye a, mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, koute sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou. Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou tout mòn ak tout ti mòn, pou tout ravin ak tout fon nan peyi a, pou tout kay kraze moun yo kouri kite ak pou tout lavil yo ki tounen mazi. Moun lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo te piye nou, yo te pase nou nan betiz.

therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord GOD. This is what the Lord GOD says to the mountains and hills, to the ravines and valleys, to the desolate ruins and abandoned cities, which have become a spoil and a mockery to the rest of the nations around you.

5 Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, di ankò: M'ap move anpil, m'ap denonse lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo. M'ap denonse tout moun nan peyi Edon an tou. Lè yo t'ap pran peyi mwen an pou yo te piye l' nèt ale a, yo pa t' manke kontan, yo pa t' manke pase nou nan rizib.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: Surely in My burning zeal I have spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Edom, who took My land as their own possession with wholehearted joy and utter contempt, so that its pastureland became plunder.

6 Se poutèt sa, men mesaj pou ou bay peyi Izrayèl la. Pale ak tout mòn yo, tout ti mòn yo, tout ravin yo ak tout fon yo. Di yo: Men sa Seyè a voye di: Koulye a mwen move, mwen fache, m'ap pale! Wi, nou te soufri lè lòt nasyon yo t'ap joure nou.

Therefore, prophesy concerning the land of Israel and tell the mountains and hills, the ravines and valleys, that this is what the Lord GOD says: Behold, I have spoken in My burning zeal because you have endured the reproach of the nations.

7 enben wi, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, di: Mwen leve men m' pou m' fè sèman lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo pral peye pou jan yo te pase nou nan betiz la.

Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: I have sworn with an uplifted hand that surely the nations around you will endure reproach of their own.

8 Men, sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, pyebwa yo pral fè fèy ankò, y'ap donnen pou nou menm, pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la. Paske nou pa lwen tounen nan peyi nou.

But you, O mountains of Israel, will produce branches and bear fruit for My people Israel, for they will soon come home.

9 Paske mwen kanpe la avèk nou. Mwen pral swen nou. Tè jaden nou yo pral raboure, yo pral plante.

For behold, I am on your side; I will turn toward you, and you will be tilled and sown.

10 Mwen pral fè tout moun fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo peple, yo pral vin anpil. Tout lavil yo pral plen moun. Yo pral rebati tout kay ki te kraze yo.

I will multiply the people upon you—the house of Israel in its entirety. The cities will be inhabited and the ruins rebuilt.

11 Mwen pral fè ni moun ni bèt peple nan peyi a. Yo pral vin anpil, y'ap fè anpil pitit, m'ap fè nou rete kote nou te konn rete anvan an. M'ap fè nou viv pi byen pase jan nou te konn viv la. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

I will fill you with people and animals, and they will multiply and be fruitful. I will make you as inhabited as you once were, and I will make you prosper more than before. Then you will know that I am the LORD.

12 M'ap mennen nou tounen, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou nou ka viv nan peyi nou an. Nou pral pran peyi a pou nou. Peyi a pral rele nou pa nou. Li p'ap janm kite pitit li yo mouri ankò.

Yes, I will cause My people Israel to walk upon you; they will possess you, and you will be their inheritance, and you will no longer deprive them of their children.

13 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Yo te mache di: Peyi a ap manje moun li yo. L'ap touye tout pitit moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Se te vre.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: Because people say to you, ‘You devour men and deprive your nation of its children,’

14 Men, depi jòdi a, peyi a p'ap manje moun li yo ankò, li p'ap touye pitit moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

therefore you will no longer devour men or deprive your nation of its children, declares the Lord GOD.

15 M'ap fè lòt nasyon yo sispann pase nou nan betiz. Nou p'ap tande jouman yo nan zòrèy nou ankò. Yo p'ap lonje dwèt sou nou ankò pou fè nou wont. Peyi a p'ap touye pitit li yo ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

I will no longer allow the taunts of the nations to be heard against you, and you will no longer endure the reproach of the peoples or cause your nation to stumble, declares the Lord GOD.”

16 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

17 -Nonm o! Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete nan peyi yo a, yo mennen bak yo yon jan ki mete peyi a nan kondisyon li pa ka fè sèvis Bondye ankò. Lavi yo t'ap mennen an te mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa t' ka fè sèvis pou mwen. Nan je mwen yo pa t' pi bon pase yon fi ki gen lalin li.

“Son of man, when the people of Israel lived in their land, they defiled it by their own ways and deeds. Their behavior before Me was like the uncleanness of a woman’s impurity.

18 Se poutèt sa mwen fè yo santi jan mwen ka move sou yo, paske yo te fè anpil san koule nan peyi a, yo te mete zidòl toupatou. Konsa yo te mete peyi a nan kondisyon pou l' pa t' ka fè sèvis pou mwen ankò.

So I poured out My wrath upon them because of the blood they had shed on the land, and because they had defiled it with their idols.

19 Mwen gaye yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Mwen simaye yo nan tout peyi etranje yo. Mwen pini yo pou jan yo te mennen bak yo mal ak pou tou sa yo te fè.

I dispersed them among the nations, and they were scattered throughout the lands. I judged them according to their ways and deeds.

20 Nan tout peyi kote yo rive, yo lakòz moun derespekte non mwen ki yon non apa. Yo fè moun ap di sou yo: Men pèp Seyè a wi! Yo blije soti kite peyi li te ba yo a!

And wherever they went among the nations, they profaned My holy name, because it was said of them, ‘These are the people of the LORD, yet they had to leave His land.’

21 Sa te ban m' tèt chaje pou m' te wè jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te lakòz moun t'ap derespekte non m' nan tout peyi kote yo pase.

But I had concern for My holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations to which they had gone.

22 Se poutèt sa, w'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Sa m' pral fè a, se pa pou tèt nou m'ap fè l', tande. Se poutèt non mwen ki yon non apa, non nou te trennen nan labou nan tout peyi kote nou pase yo.

Therefore tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: It is not for your sake that I will act, O house of Israel, but for My holy name, which you profaned among the nations to which you went.

23 Menm jan nou te trennen non m' nan labou nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, konsa m' pral sèvi ak nou pou fè lòt nasyon yo wè jan m' gen pouvwa, jan m' se yon Bondye ki apa. Lè sa a, nasyon yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

I will show the holiness of My great name, which has been profaned among the nations—the name you have profaned among them. Then the nations will know that I am the LORD, declares the Lord GOD, when I show My holiness in you before their eyes.

24 M'ap wete nou nan mitan nasyon yo, m'ap sanble nou soti nan tout peyi yo, m'ap mennen nou tounen nan peyi pa nou an.

For I will take you from among the nations and gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you back into your own land.

25 M'ap benyen nou nan bon dlo klè pou nou ka vin nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. M'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi m', m'ap wete tout vye bagay derespektan nou t'ap fè yo ak tout zidòl nou yo.

I will also sprinkle clean water on you, and you will be clean. I will cleanse you from all your impurities and all your idols.

26 M'ap mete lòt santiman nan kè nou. M'ap mete lòt lide nan tèt nou. M'ap wete tèt di nou an, m'ap fè nou tande lè m' pale nou.

I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit within you; I will remove your heart of stone and give you a heart of flesh.

27 M'ap mete Lespri m' nan nou, konsa m'ap fè nou mache dwat dapre lòd mwen ban nou, pou nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè. N'a kenbe prensip mwen yo.

And I will put My Spirit within you and cause you to walk in My statutes and to carefully observe My ordinances.

28 Lè sa a, n'a rete nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt nou yo. Se nou menm ki pral pèp ki rele m' pa mwen. Mwen menm se Bondye nou m'ap ye.

Then you will live in the land that I gave your forefathers; you will be My people, and I will be your God.

29 M'ap delivre nou anba tout vye bagay mal nou t'ap fè yo. M'ap bay ble yo lòd pou yo donnen anpil. Konsa mwen p'ap janm voye grangou sou nou ankò.

I will save you from all your uncleanness. I will summon the grain and make it plentiful, and I will not bring famine upon you.

30 M'ap fè pye fwi nou yo ak jaden nou yo donnen an kantite. Konsa, nou p'ap nan grangou, nou p'ap wont ankò devan lòt nasyon yo.

I will also make the fruit of the trees and the crops of the field plentiful, so that you will no longer bear reproach among the nations on account of famine.

31 Lè sa a, n'a chonje jan nou te mennen bak nou mal, jan nou te fè sa ki pa t' bon menm. Nou pral gen degoutans pou tèt nou paske nou te fè mechanste ak anpil bagay lèd devan Bondye.

Then you will remember your evil ways and wicked deeds, and you will loathe yourselves for your iniquities and abominations.

32 Nou menm, moun Izrayèl yo, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di nou: Mwen vle fè nou konnen se pa poutèt nou m'ap fè sa m'ap fè a. Non! Okontrè, se wont pou nou ta wont, se bese pou nou ta bese je nou pou sa nou te fè.

It is not for your sake that I will act, declares the Lord GOD—let it be known to you. Be ashamed and disgraced for your ways, O house of Israel!

33 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Jou m'a mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi m' lan, lè m'a wete nou anba tout peche nou yo, m'a kite nou al rete nan lavil nou yo, m'a kite nou rebati kay kraze nou yo.

This is what the Lord GOD says: On the day I cleanse you from all your iniquities, I will cause the cities to be resettled and the ruins to be rebuilt.

34 Tout moun k'ap pase bò jaden nou yo te wè jan yo te ravaje, jan yo te tounen dezè. Men, mwen pral fè nou travay jaden nou yo ankò.

The desolate land will be cultivated instead of lying desolate in the sight of all who pass through.

35 Konsa tout moun va di: Gade peyi ki te ravaje a non! Koulye a, li tounen yon bèl jaden tankou jaden Edenn lan. Gade jan lavil ki te fin kraze, piye, demoli yo tounen bèl lavil ak gwo ranpa plen moun non!

Then they will say, ‘This land that was desolate has become like the garden of Eden. The cities that were once ruined, desolate, and destroyed are now fortified and inhabited.’

36 Lè sa a, rès moun lòt nasyon sou fwontyè nou yo ki chape anba lanmò va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki rebati tout lavil ki te kraze yo, se mwen menm ki replante jaden ki te ravaje yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'!

Then the nations around you that remain will know that I, the LORD, have rebuilt what was destroyed, and I have replanted what was desolate. I, the LORD, have spoken, and I will do it.

37 Seyè sèl Mèt la pale, li di: M'ap kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin mande m' sekou. M'ap kite yo peple tankou yon bann mouton.

This is what the Lord GOD says: Once again I will hear the plea of the house of Israel and do for them this: I will multiply their people like a flock.

38 Lavil ki te fin kraze yo pral plen moun tankou lavil Jerizalèm plen mouton yo mennen pou touye pou Bondye lè jou fèt yo. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

Like the numerous flocks for sacrifices at Jerusalem during her appointed feasts, so the ruined cities will be filled with flocks of people. Then they will know that I am the LORD.”
