Ezekyèl 9
1 Apre sa, mwen tande Bondye pale byen fò nan zòrèy mwen. Li di konsa: -Pwoche non, nou tout ki pral pini lavil la. Pwoche ak zam nou nan men nou!
He cried also, in my hearing, with a loud voice, saying: Bring ye near the punishments of the city, every one his weapon of destruction in his hand.
2 Lamenm, sis gason parèt nan pòtay ki bay sou nò nan lakou tanp lan. Yo chak te gen yon zam nan men yo. Nan mitan yo te gen yon nonm ak yon rad twal fin tou blan sou li. Li te gen yon poban lank mare nan ren l'. Yo antre, yo kanpe bò lotèl an kwiv la.
And lo, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which looketh toward the north, every one with his slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's ink-horn by his side; and they went in, and stood beside the brazen altar.
3 Lè sa a, gwo bèl limyè ki make prezans Bondye pèp Izrayèl la soti anwo tèt bèt vivan yo kote l' te ye a, li deplase, li al rete nan papòt pou antre nan tanp lan. Seyè a rele nonm ak rad twal fin blan an ki te gen poban lank mare nan ren l' lan.
And the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub upon which it was to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's ink-horn by his side;
4 Li di l' konsa: -Ale nan tout lavil Jerizalèm. Mete yon mak sou fwon tout moun w'a wè k'ap plenn, ki nan gwo lapenn pou tout vye bagay derespektan k'ap fèt nan lavil la.
and Jehovah said to him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that wail for all the abominations that are done in the midst thereof.
5 Mwen tande li di lòt mesye yo: -Mache dèyè l' nan tout lavil la. Epi touye! Pa gen pitye pou pesonn. Pa kite pesonn chape!
And to the others he said, in my hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite! let not your eyes spare, neither have ye pity!
6 Touye ni granmoun, ni jenn gason, ni jenn fi, ni fanm, ni timoun. Men, pa manyen moun ki gen mak sou fwon yo. Konmanse depi nan tanp mwen an. Yo konmanse ak chèf fanmi ki te kanpe nan Tanp lan.
The old man, the youth, the virgin, little children and women, slay and destroy; but come not near any one upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then began they at the elders that were before the house.
7 Bondye di yo: -Derespekte Tanp lan! Plen lakou a kadav. Ale non! Se konsa yo konmanse touye moun nan lavil la.
And he said to them, Pollute the house, and fill the courts with the slain, then go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8 Pandan yo t'ap touye moun yo, mwen te rete pou kont mwen. Mwen tonbe ajenou, mwen bese tèt mwen atè, mwen rele byen fò: -Wouy! Seyè Bondye sèl Mèt la, èske ou pral touye tout rès pèp Izrayèl la, paske nan kòlè ou ou soti pou pini lavil Jerizalèm?
And while they were smiting them, I alone was left; and I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the remnant of Israel, while thou pourest out thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Li reponn mwen: -Moun peyi Izrayèl yo ansanm ak moun peyi Jida yo fè anpil wi! Se san k'ap koule toupatou nan peyi a. Lavil Jerizalèm plen moun k'ap fè lenjistis. Y'ap plede di mwen menm, Seyè a, mwen vire do bay peyi a, mwen pa wè yo.
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness. For they say, “Jehovah hath forsaken the land”; and, “Jehovah seeth not.”
10 Enben, mwen p'ap gen pitye pou yo, mwen p'ap fè pa yo. M'ap fè yo peye pou sa yo fè.
Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity. Their way will I recompense upon their head.
11 Apre sa, nonm ki te gen rad twal fin tou blan sou li a ak poban lank mare nan ren l' lan tounen. Li fè rapò l' bay Seyè a, li di l' konsa: -Mwen fè tou sa ou te ban m' lòd fè a.
And lo, the man clothed with linen, who had the ink-horn by his side, returned answer, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
