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.
Thou therefore. Son of man, Prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, —and thou shalt say, Ye mountains of Israel Hear ye the word of Yahweh.
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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because the enemy hath said concerning you Aha! Even the high places of age-past times, for a possession have become ours
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 thou shalt say, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh-Because even because they have desolated and panted for you on every side That ye should become a possession to the rest of the nations, And ye have come up into the talk of the tongue and the slander of the people
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 ye mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of My Lord Yahweh, — Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh, To the mountains and to the hills, to the channels and to the valleys, and to the desolate waste places and to the cities that are forsaken, which have become a prey and a derision, to the rest of the nations which are on every side:
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, saith My Lord, Yahweh, Surely in the fire of my jealousy, have I spoken against the rest of the nations and against Edom all of it, — Who have given my land to themselves for a possession, In the rejoicing of all the heart In contempt of soul, To make of its produce a prey.
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 soil of Israel, —and say to the mountains and to the hills to the channels and to the valleys, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! In my jealousy and in mine indignation, have I spoken, Because the insult of the nations, ye have borne;
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 Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, I myself have lifted my hand, - Surely the nations which are yours round about, they their own shame, shall bear:
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 ye O mountains of Israel Your boughs, shall ye shoot forth, And your fruit, shall ye bear For my people Israel, For they have drawn near to enter.
9 Paske mwen kanpe la avèk nou. Mwen pral swen nou. Tè jaden nou yo pral raboure, yo pral plante.
For lo! I am towards you, Therefore will I turn towards you, And ye 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, upon you—men, All the house of Israel All of it, Then shall the cities be inhabited, And the waste places, shall be built,
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 upon you—man and beast, And they shall multiply and be fruitful, — And I will cause you to be inhabited as in your former estates. And will do you more good than at your beginnings, So shall ye know that am Yahweh;
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 bring upon you—men even my people Israel That they may possess thee, So shalt thou be theirs, as an inheritance, -And thou shalt no more again make them childless.
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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, Because they are saying to you. A devourer of men, thou art, And one that didst make childless thy nations, hast thou been
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, men, shalt thou not devour any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou make childless no more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh;
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 I will not suffer to be heard against thee any more, the insult of the nations, And the reproach of the peoples, shalt thou not bear any more, - And thy nations, shalt thou not cause to stumble any more, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
16 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
And the word of Yahweh came unto 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 were dwelling upon their own soil, But they defiled it by their way, and by their doings. Like the defilement of her that is removed, became their way before me.
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 mine indignation upon them, Because of the blood which they had shed upon the land, - Yea with their manufactured gods, had they defiled it.
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.
So I dispersed them among the nations, And they were scattered throughout the lands, — According to their way and according to their doings, I judged them.
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!
But when they entered among the nations where they did enter, then profaned they my holy Name, —in that it was said of them The people of Yahweh, these! Yet from his land, have they come forth!
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.
So then I had tender regard for my holy Name, - Which the house of Israel had profaned, among the nations, where they had entered.
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 thou to the house of Israel Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, Not for your sakes, am I working. O house of Israel, But for my holy Name which ye have profaned, among the nations where ye have entered;
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.
Therefore will I hallow my great Name, that hath been profaned among the nations, which ye have profaned in their midst, -So shall the nations know that I am Yahweh Declareth My Lord, Yahweh, When I have hallowed myself 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.
Therefore will I take you from among the nations, And gather you out of all the lands, - And will bring you upon your own soil;
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 throw upon you clean water and ye shall be clean, — From all your uncleannesses and from all your manufactured gods, will I 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 a new spirit, will I put within 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 my spirit, will I put within you, And will cause That in my statutes, ye shall walk, And my regulations, ye shall observe, and do;
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 ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers, - And ye shall become my people, And I will become 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.
And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine; And I will save you out of all your uncleannesses, —And will call for the corn and will increase it, And will not lay upon you famine;
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 tree, and The increase of the field, — To the end that ye may not receive any more 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.
Then shall ye call to mind Your ways that were wicked, and Your doings that were not good, - And shall become loathsome in your own sight. For your iniquities 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, am I working, Declareth My Lord Yahweh be it known to you, — Turn ye pale and then blush 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 saith My Lord, Yahweh, In the day when I cleanse you, from all your iniquities, Then will I cause the cities to be inhabited, And the waste places shall be built;
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 land that was made desolate shall be tilled, — Whereas it was a desolation, before the eyes of every passer-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, This land that was made desolate hath become like the garden of Eden, - And the cities that were waste and deserted and thrown down, now fenced, 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'!
So shall the nations that may be left remaining round about you know that, I Yahweh— Have built that which was thrown down, and Have planted that which was made desolate, — I Yahweh, have spoken and performed.
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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Even yet—for this, will I be prevailed upon by the house of Israel to work for them, — I will multiply them-Like a flock—with men:
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 a flock of holy offerings Like the flock of Jerusalem in her appointed feasts, So, shall the waste cities be filled with flocks of men, - And they shall know that, I, am Yahweh.
