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!
Then cried he in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Draw near ye that have charge of the city, -even every man with 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 coming in out of the way of the upper gate which looketh toward the north even every man with his destructive weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst clothed with linen, having a scribe’s ink holder by his side, —so they came in and stood beside the altar of bronze.
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 lifted itself up from off the cherub whereon it had been, unto the threshold of the house, —and he called unto the man clothed with linen, who had the scribe’s ink holder 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.
Then said Yahweh unto him. Pass along through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, —and set thou a mark upon the foreheads of the men who are sighing and crying over all the abominations that are being done in her midst.
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!
But unto these, said he in mine ears, Pass along through the city after him and smite, —let not your eye, shield, 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.
elder, young man and virgin and little ones and women, shall ye slay utterly, but unto any man who hath upon him the mark, do not ye come near, and at my sanctuary, shall ye begin. So they began with the elder men. who 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 unto them Defile ye the house and fill the courts with the slain, —go ye forth! So they went forth and smote 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 it came to pass, while they were smiting them—I being left remaining, that I fell upon my face and made outcry, and said Alas! My Lord. Yahweh art thou about to destroy all the remnant of Israel, in that thou art pouring out of thine indignation 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 unto me the iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah, is exceeding, great, and the land is filled with shed blood, and the city is full of over-reaching, —for they have said. Yahweh hath forsaken the land, — and Yahweh doth not see.
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 as for even me, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity, — Their way upon their own head, have I rendered.
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 in linen, having the ink-holder by his side, bringing back word saying, — I have done according to all which thou didst command me.
