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 he cried in my ears with a loud voice, saying, “Cause those who are in charge of the city to draw near, each man with his destroying weapon 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.
Behold, six men came from the way of the upper gate, which lies toward the north, every man with his slaughter weapon in his hand. One man in the middle of them was clothed in linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side. They went in, and stood beside the bronze 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.
The glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherub, whereupon it was, to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer’s inkhorn 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.
Yahweh said to him, “Go through the middle of the city, through the middle of Jerusalem, and set a mark on the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry over all the abominations that are done within it.”
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!
To the others he said in my hearing, “Go through the city after him, and strike. Don’t let your eye spare, neither have 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.
Kill utterly the old man, the young man, the virgin, little children and women; but don’t come near any man on whom is the mark. Begin at my sanctuary.” Then they began at the old 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.
He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain. Go out!” They went out, and struck 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?
While they were killing, and I was left, I fell on my face, and cried, and said, “Ah Lord Yahweh! Will you destroy all the residue of Israel in your pouring out of your wrath on 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.
Then 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 perversion; for they say, ‘Yahweh has forsaken the land, and Yahweh doesn’t 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.
As for me also, my eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity, but I will bring their way on 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.
Behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, “I have done as you have commanded me.”
