Ezekyèl 4
1 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Pran yon brik, mete l' devan ou. Trase desen lavil Jerizalèm sou li.
“And you, son of man, take a brick for yourself, and you have put it before you, and have carved a city on it—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 have placed a siege against it, and built a fortification against it, and poured out a mound against it, and placed camps against it, indeed, set battering-rams against it all around.
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.
And you, take an iron pan for yourself, and you have made it a wall of iron between you and the city; and you have prepared your face against it, and it has been in a siege, indeed, you have laid siege against it. It [is] 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.
And you, lie on your left side, and you have placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that you lie on it, you 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.
And I have laid the years of their iniquity on you, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and you have borne 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 you have completed these, and have lain on your right side, a second time, and have borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days—a day for a year—a day for a year I have appointed to you.
7 Vire tèt ou, gade lavil Jerizalèm yo sènen an. Lonje dwèt ou sou li. Di sa ki pral rive l'.
And to the siege of Jerusalem you prepare your face, and your arm [is] uncovered, and you have prophesied concerning 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 have put thick bands on you, and you do not turn from side to side until your completing 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.
And you, take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and you have put them in one vessel, and made them for bread for yourself; the number of the days that you are lying on your side—three hundred and ninety days—you eat it.
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 that you eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time you eat it.
11 Ou p'ap gen anpil dlo pou ou bwè. W'a pran yon lit dlo konsa chak jou.
And you drink water by measure, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time you drink [it].
12 W'a pran okabennen moun, w'a fè dife pou kwit pen pou ou manje a devan tout moun.
And you eat it [as] barley-cake, and it with dung—the filth of man—you bake before their eyes.”
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 YHWH says, “Thus the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations to where I 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!
And I say, “Aah! Lord YHWH, behold, my soul is not defiled, and carcass, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even until now; nor has abominable flesh come 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.
And He says to me, “See, I have given to you bullock’s dung instead of man’s dung, and you have made your bread by it.”
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.
And He says to me, “Son of man, behold, I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they have eaten bread by weight and with fear; and water by measure and with astonishment, they drink;
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.
so that they lack bread and water, and have been astonished with one another, and been consumed in their iniquity.”
