Ezekyèl 4
1 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Pran yon brik, mete l' devan ou. Trase desen lavil Jerizalèm sou li.
'And thou, son of man, take to thee a brick, and thou hast put it before thee, and hast graven on it a city — 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 hast placed against it a siege, and builded against it a fortification, and poured out against it a mount, and placed against it camps, yea, set thou against it battering-rams 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.
And thou, take to thee an iron pan, and thou hast made it a wall of iron between thee and the city; and thou hast prepared thy face against it, and it hath been in a siege, yea, thou hast laid siege against it. A sign it [is] 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 thou, lie on thy left side, and thou hast placed the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; the number of the days that thou liest on it, thou bearest 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 — I have laid on thee the years of their iniquity, the number of days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou hast 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 thou hast completed these, and hast lain on thy right side, a second time, and hast borne the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days — a day for a year — a day for a year I have appointed to thee.
7 Vire tèt ou, gade lavil Jerizalèm yo sènen an. Lonje dwèt ou sou li. Di sa ki pral rive l'.
'And unto the siege of Jerusalem thou dost prepare thy face, and thine arm [is] uncovered, and thou hast 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 lo, I have put on thee thick bands, and thou dost not turn from side to side till thy completing the days of thy 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 thou, take to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and spelt, and thou hast put them in one vessel, and made them to thee for bread; the number of the days that thou art lying on thy side — three hundred and ninety days — thou dost 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 thy food that thou dost eat [is] by weight, twenty shekels daily; from time to time thou dost eat it.
11 Ou p'ap gen anpil dlo pou ou bwè. W'a pran yon lit dlo konsa chak jou.
'And water by measure thou dost drink, a sixth part of the hin; from time to time thou dost drink [it].
12 W'a pran okabennen moun, w'a fè dife pou kwit pen pou ou manje a devan tout moun.
A barley-cake thou dost eat it, and it with dung — the filth of man — thou dost 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 Jehovah saith, 'Thus do the sons of Israel eat their defiled bread among the nations whither 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, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, lo, my soul is not defiled, and carcase, and torn thing, I have not eaten from my youth, even till now; nor come into my mouth hath abominable flesh.'
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 saith unto me, 'See, I have given to thee bullock's dung instead of man's dung, and thou hast made thy 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 saith unto me, 'Son of man, lo, 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 do 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 one with another, and been consumed in their iniquity.
