Ezekyèl 4
1 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Pran yon brik, mete l' devan ou. Trase desen lavil Jerizalèm sou li.
You also, son of man, take you a tile, and lay it before you, and illustrate upon it the city, even Jerusalem:
2 Apre sa, w'a moutre jan lènmi pral sènen lavil la: W'a fouye yon kannal pou sòlda yo kache, w'a mete ranblè nan pye miray li yo, w'a mete anplasman kan sòlda yo, w'a mete gwo poto pou defonse pòtay yo sou tout bò lavil la.
And lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
3 Pran yon pwelon fè, mete l' kanpe tankou yon miray ant ou menm ak lavil la. Bay lavil la fas. Lavil la sènen toupatou. Se ou menm ki sènen l'. Se va yon siy pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
Moreover take you unto you an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face against it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Lèfini, kouche sou bò gòch ou. W'a pran tout peche moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou ou. Ou rete kouche konsa pandan tout tan w'ap pote chay peche yo a.
Lie you also upon your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that you shall lie upon it you shall bear their iniquity.
5 Mwen deside pou yo pase twasankadrevendizan (390) ap peye pou peche yo. Konsa, m'ap fè ou pase twasankatrevendi (390) jou ap pote chay peche moun peyi Izrayèl yo, yon jou pou chak lanne.
For I have laid upon you the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shall you bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 Apre sa, w'a vire kouche sou bò dwat ou. W'a pote chay peche moun peyi Jida yo pandan karant jou, yon jou pou chak lanne chatiman yo.
And when you have accomplished them, lie again on your right side, and you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed you each day for a year.
7 Vire tèt ou, gade lavil Jerizalèm yo sènen an. Lonje dwèt ou sou li. Di sa ki pral rive l'.
Therefore you shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be uncovered, and you shall prophesy against it.
8 M'ap mare ou byen mare, konsa ou p'ap ka vire chanje bò toutotan tout jou pou yo sènen lavil la poko fin pase.
And, behold, I will lay bands upon you, and you shall not turn you from one side to another, till you have ended the days of your siege.
9 Bon, koulye a ou pral pran ble, lòj, gwo pwa, ti pwa, pitimi ak ble mòn, w'a mete yo ansanm nan yon sèl veso. W'a fè pen ak yo. Pandan tout twasankatrevendi (390) jou w'ap pase kouche sou bò gòch ou a, se sa ase w'a manje.
Take you also unto you wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make you bread thereof, according to the number of the days that you shall lie upon your side, three hundred and ninety days shall you eat thereof.
10 W'a pran yon moso pen ki peze yon demi (1/2) liv pou ou manje chak jou. Se sa ase pou ou manje chak jou.
And your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shall you eat it.
11 Ou p'ap gen anpil dlo pou ou bwè. W'a pran yon lit dlo konsa chak jou.
You shall drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shall you drink.
12 W'a pran okabennen moun, w'a fè dife pou kwit pen pou ou manje a devan tout moun.
And you shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it with dung that comes out of man, in their sight.
13 Seyè a te di ankò: -Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo pral manje manje lalwa defann yo manje, lè m'a gaye yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo.
And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, where I will drive them.
14 Lè sa a, mwen di: -O non! Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, mwen pa janm manje manje ou defann moun manje. Depi m' piti, mwen pa janm manje vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, ni vyann bèt lòt bèt touye. Non, mwen pa janm mete nan bouch mwen vyann ou defann moun manje!
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul has not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
15 Lè sa a, Bondye di m' konsa: -Dakò. M'ap kite ou pran kaka bèf pito pase okabennen moun. Ou mèt fè dife avè l' pou kwit pen ou lan.
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread therewith.
16 Epi li di ankò: -Nonm o! Mwen pral koupe viv moun lavil Jerizalèm yo. Moun yo pral gen kè sere, yo pral gen kè sote lè yo pral kontwole kantite pen pou yo manje ak kantite dlo pou yo bwè.
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
17 Yo p'ap jwenn kantite pen ak dlo yo bezwen: yo tout y'ap depafini ansanm, y'ap deperi poutèt peche yo fè yo.
That they may lack bread and water, and be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
