Ezekyèl 44
1 Nonm lan mennen m' bò pòtay ki bay sou bò solèy leve a. Pòtay la te fèmen.
And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
2 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Pòtay sa a fèt pou toujou ret fèmen. Piga yo janm louvri l'. Pa janm kite pesonn pase la. Paske se la mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye pèp Izrayèl la, mwen te pase. Se pou l' toujou ret fèmen.
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been shut.
3 Tansèlman, wa a gen dwa vin chita la pou li manje pòsyon pa l' nan manje ofrann lan devan m'. L'a pase nan pòt ki nan gwo pyès nan bout koridò a pou l' antre. Se la l'a soti tou.
The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.'
4 Apre sa, nonm lan fè m' soti nan pòtay nò a. Rive devan Tanp lan, mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè Tanp Seyè a te klere nèt ak gwo limyè prezans Seyè a. Mwen lage kò m' atè sou fas.
And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on my face.
5 Epi Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Pran tèt ou! Louvri je ou gade byen. Louvri zòrèy ou tande. Mwen pral ba ou lòd ak regleman pou Tanp mwen an. Gade byen ki moun ki gen dwa antre soti nan Tanp lan, ki moun ki pa gen dwa mete pye yo nan Tanp lan.
And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
6 Pale ak bann moun tèt di pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo. Mwen p'ap tolere ankò tout vye bagay derespektan yo t'ap plede fè yo.
and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
7 Yo derespekte Tanp mwen an, yo kite moun lòt nasyon ki pa pote mak kontra mwen an nan kò yo, ni ki pa soti pou fè volonte m', antre nan Tanp lan lè y'ap ofri grès ak san bèt yo touye pou mwen yo. Se konsa yo kase kontra mwen te pase ak yo a. Yo fè yon bann vye bagay derespektan ki pa fè m' plezi.
In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
8 Yo derefize pran reskonsablite fè sèvis pou mwen nan Tanp lan. Yo mete moun lòt nasyon pou fè sèvis pou yo nan Tanp lan.
and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.
9 Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen di: Ankenn moun lòt nasyon ki pa pote mak kontra a nan kò yo, ni ki pa soti pou fè volonte m', pa gen dwa mete pye yo nan Tanp lan, pa menm lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp Izrayèl la.
'Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel,
10 Seyè a di m' ankò: Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te vire do ban mwen pou y' al sèvi zidòl yo, moun Levi yo te mete tèt yo ansanm ak pèp la. Se poutèt sa mwen pral pini yo pou sa yo fè a.
but — the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
11 Y'ap toujou sèvi m' nan Tanp lan. Se yo menm ki pral reskonsab veye pòtay Tanp lan, se yo ki pral fè tout kalite ti travay ki pou fèt nan Tanp lan. Se yo ki pral touye bèt pèp la va vin ofri pou boule nèt nan dife ak pou lòt kalite ofrann. Se yo ki pral la pou sèvi pèp la.
And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
12 Tansèlman, paske yo te asepte fè sèvis pou pèp la devan zidòl yo, paske, lè yo fè sa, yo pòte pèp la tonbe pi rèd nan fè peche, mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, mwen fè sèman, m'ap pini yo pou sa yo fè a.
Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — and they have borne their iniquity.
13 Yo pa gen dwa pwoche kote m' pou sèvi m' prèt ankò, ni yo pa gen dwa pwoche bò nenpòt bagay yo mete apa pou mwen, ni antre nan kote yo mete apa nèt pou mwen an. Men pinisyon m'ap ba yo pou tout vye bagay derespektan yo te fè a.
And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
14 M'ap ba yo lòt travay pou yo fè nan tanp lan. M'ap mete yo reskonsab tout kalite travay k'ap fèt nan Tanp lan.
and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
15 Seyè sèl Mèt la di m' ankò: -Prèt ki fè pati branch fanmi Levi a men ki soti nan fanmi Zadòk la te toujou fè travay yo byen san melanj nan Tanp lan, lè tout rès pèp Izrayèl la menm te vire do ban mwen. Se poutèt sa, se yo menm ase ki ka pwoche vin fè sèvis pou mwen. Se yo menm ki gen dwa kanpe devan m' pou ofri m' grès ak san bèt yo touye pou mwen yo.
'And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:
16 Se yo menm ase ki pou antre nan Tanp mwen an, ki pou sèvi devan lotèl mwen an, ki pou fè sèvis pou mwen nan Tanp lan.
they come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
17 Lè y'a antre nan pòtay ti lakou anndan Tanp lan, y'a mete rad fèt ak twal fin blan. Lè y'ap sèvi nan ti lakou anndan an osinon nan Tanp lan, yo pa fèt pou yo gen anyen fèt ak lenn sou yo.
And it hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool cometh up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
18 Konsa, yo p'ap janm swe. Y'ap mare tèt yo ak gwo mouchwa fèt ak twal fin blan. Y'ap mete pantalon fèt ak twal fin blan san sentiwon.
Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
19 Anvan yo soti nan gwo lakou a, kote pèp la ye a, se pou yo wete rad ki te sou yo lè yo te desèvis nan tanp lan. Y'a kite yo nan pyès yo mete apa pou sa a. Y'a mete lòt rad òdinè sou yo pou rad seremoni yo pa fè malè tonbe sou pèp la.
And in their going forth unto the outer court — unto the outer court unto the people — they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
20 Prèt yo pa gen dwa kale tèt yo, ni se pa pou yo kite cheve yo vin twò long. Se pou yo toujou taye cheve yo.
And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not send forth; they certainly poll their heads.
21 Prèt yo pa gen dwa bwè diven jou pou yo antre nan ti lakou anndan an.
And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto the inner court.
22 Prèt yo pa gen dwa marye ak yon vèv osinon yon madanm divòse. Se pou yo marye ak yon jenn fi nan ras moun Izrayèl yo. Tansèlman, y'a gen dwa marye ak vèv yon prèt parèy yo.
And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them for wives: but — virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take.
23 Prèt yo va moutre pèp mwen an diferans ki genyen ant sa yo mete apa pou sèvis mwen ak sa yo pa mete apa pou sèvis mwen, ant sa ki nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen ak sa ki pa nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen.
'And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.
24 Lè yon moun gen kont ak yon lòt, se prèt yo ki va jije yo dapre sa ki nan lalwa mwen an. Se yo ki pou òganize tout fèt mwen yo dapre lòd ak regleman mwen bay. Jou repo m' yo, yo pa gen dwa fè ankenn travay.
And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they sanctify.
25 Prèt yo pa fèt pou pwoche bò kadav moun mouri pou sa pa mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa ka fè sèvis pou mwen. Tansèlman, yo gen dwa pwoche bò kadav papa yo, manman yo, pitit fi yo, pitit gason yo, frè yo osinon yon sè yo depi sè a pa marye.
And unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile themselves.
26 Apre l'a fin fè sèvis pou mete l' nan kondisyon ankò pou sèvi m', se pou l' tann sèt jou.
'And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him.
27 Apre sa, jou l'a gen pou l' pran sèvis nan Tanp lan, l'a antre nan ti lakou anndan an, l'a fè ofrann pou mande Bondye padon pou peche l' yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
And in the day of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near his sin-offering — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
28 Prèt yo pa gen ankenn pòsyon tè ki rele yo pa yo. Se mwen menm ki tout yo. Yo p'ap gen anyen nan peyi mwen bay pèp Izrayèl la k'ap rele yo pa yo. Se sèvis y'ap fè pou mwen an ki tout yo.
And it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
29 Se yo ki va manje ofrann grenn jaden yo ak vyann bèt yo touye pou mande Bondye padon, ak vyann bèt yo touye pou repare sa pèp la fè ki mal. Tou sa y'a mete apa pou mwen, se pou yo la ye.
The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
30 Tou sa ki pi bon nan premye rekòt nou yo, tou sa n'a pran angajman pou ofri ban mwen, ak tout lòt ofrann n'a fè, se pou prèt yo y'a ye. Chak fwa n'ap kwit pen, se pou nou bay prèt yo premye pen an tankou ofrann, konsa benediksyon mwen va chita lakay nou.
And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
31 Prèt yo pa gen dwa manje ankenn bèt, kit se zwezo, kit se lòt bèt, ki mouri mò natirèl osinon bèt nan bwa devore.
Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the beasts, the priests do not eat.
