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 to the mountains of Israel, Hear you 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!

Thus says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us:

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 say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have been dishonored, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations:

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, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about;

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, thus says the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of the inhabitants], to destroy [it] by 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 say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen:

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 I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.

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 your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come.

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

For, behold, I am toward you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall 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.

and I will multiply men upon you, [even] all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.

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.

And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former [times]: and you shall 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.

And I will increase men upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.

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.

Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You [land] devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;

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 shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says 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.

And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.

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

And 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, the house of Israel lived upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.

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:

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.

and I dispersed them among the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.

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 they went in among the nations, among which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of 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 spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned among the nations, among whom they went.

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 say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which you have profaned among the nations, among whom 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.

And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned among the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified among 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.

And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you 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.

and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.

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.

And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will 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 in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgments, and do [them].

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.

And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a 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.

And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and 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.

And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine among the nations.

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.

And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your 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.

Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you: be you ashamed and confounded 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.

Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon:

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.

and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by.

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!

And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are 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'!

And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted the waste [lands]: I the Lord have spoken, and 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.

Thus says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;

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.

as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
