Ezayi 6
1 Lanne wa Ozyas mouri a, mwen wè Seyè a. Li te chita sou yon gwo fotèy byen wo. Ke rad li te plen tout tanp lan.
In the year of the death of King Uzziah—I see the Lord, sitting on a throne, high and lifted up, and His train is filling the temple.
2 Yon bann bèt vivan te kanpe fè wonn li. Yo te klere kou flanm dife. Yo chak te gen sis zèl, de zèl pou kouvri figi yo, de zèl pou kouvri pye yo, de zèl pou yo vole.
Seraphim are standing above it: each one has six wings; with two [each] covers its face, and with two [each] covers its feet, and with two [each] flies.
3 Yo t'ap pale yonn ak lòt byen fò. Yo t'ap di: -Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, li apa! Wi, li apa! Se yon Bondye ki apa vre! Pouvwa li kouvri tout latè.
And this one has called to that, and has said: “HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, [is] YHWH of Hosts, The fullness of all the earth [is] His glory!”
4 Tout poto kay Bondye a tranble lè bèt vivan yo t'ap rele konsa a. Lafimen te plen tout anndan tanp lan.
And the posts of the thresholds are moved by the voice of him who is calling, and the house is full of smoke.
5 Mwen di: -Nanpwen sove pou mwen! Jòdi a m'ap mouri vre! Paske tout pawòl ki soti nan bouch mwen se move pawòl. Epi m'ap viv nan mitan yon pèp ki pa janm gen bon pawòl nan bouch li. Lèfini, mwen wè Wa a, Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, avèk pwòp je m'.
And I say, “Woe to me, for I have been silent, For I [am] a man of unclean lips, And I am dwelling in [the] midst of a people of unclean lips, Because the King, YHWH of Hosts, my eyes have seen.”
6 Yonn nan bèt vivan yo pran yon chabon dife tou limen ak yon pensèt sou lotèl la, li vole vin bò kote m' avèk chabon dife a nan men li.
And one of the seraphim flees to me, and in his hand—a burning coal (with tongs he has taken [it] from off the altar),
7 Li kole l' sou bouch mwen, epi li di m' konsa! -Sa a kole sou po bouch ou. Koulye a, ou pa gen peche ankò. Bondye padonnen tou sa ou fè ki mal.
and he strikes against my mouth and says: “Behold, this has struck against your lips, And your iniquity is turned aside, And your sin is covered.”
8 Apre sa, mwen tande Seyè a ki t'ap di: -Kilès mwen ta voye la a? Kilès ki ta asepte ale pou nou? Mwen di: -Men mwen. Voye m'!
And I hear the voice of the Lord, saying, “Whom do I send? And who goes for Us?” And I say, “Here I [am], send me.”
9 Epi lè sa a, li di m': -Ale non. Men sa pou ou di pèp la: Louvri zòrèy nou jan nou vle, men nou p'ap konprann anyen! Louvri je nou jan nou vle, men nou p'ap wè sa k'ap rive!
And He says, “Go, and you have said to this people, Hearing you hear, and you do not understand, And seeing you see, and you do not know.
10 Fè lespri pèp la vin lou! Bouche zòrèy yo! Mare je yo! Konsa, yo p'ap ka tande, yo p'ap ka wè, yo p'ap ka konprann. Yo p'ap ka tounen vin jwenn mwen pou m' geri yo.
Declare the heart of this people fat, And declare its ears heavy, And declare its eyes dazzled, Lest it see with its eyes, And hear with its ears, and consider with its heart, And it has turned back, and has health.”
11 Lè sa a, mwen di: -Seyè! Kilè sa va sispann? Li reponn mwen: -Lè y'a fin kraze lavil yo. Lè p'ap gen moun ankò ki rete ladan yo. Lè tout kay yo va vid, lè jaden yo va tounen savann.
And I say, “Until when, O Lord?” And He says, “Surely until cities have been ruined without inhabitant, And houses without man, And the ground is ruined—a desolation,
12 Mwen menm, Seyè a, m'a mete tout moun deyò nan peyi a. Tout peyi a pral rete san moun ladan l'.
And YHWH has put man far off, And the forsaken part [is] great in the heart of the land.
13 Menm si rete yon sèl moun sou chak dis moun nan peyi a, y'ap toujou disparèt yo. Se va tankou lè yo koupe pye kajou ak pye bwadchenn. Chouk la ase ki va rete. Chouk sa a va pouse ankò, pèp Bondye a va kanpe ankò.
And yet a tenth in it, and it has turned, And has been for a burning, As a teil-tree, and as an oak, that in falling, Has substance in them, The holy seed [is] its substance!”
