Ezekyèl 11
1 Anplis, Lespri a te leve m monte e te mennen mwen nan pòtay lès lakay SENYÈ a ki te anfas vè lès. Epi gade byen, venn-senk mesye nan antre pòtay la e pami yo, mwen te wè Jaazania, fis a Azzur a ak Pelathia, fis a Benaja a, chèf yo a pèp la.
And a spirit bore me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the house of the Lord, which looketh eastward: and behold, there were at the entrance of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Yaazanyah the son of 'Azzur, and Pelatyahu the son of Benayahu, princes of the people.
2 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, sila yo se mesye yo ki fè plan inikite e ki bay move konsèy nan vil sa a,
Then said he unto me, Son of man, these are the men that devise wickedness, and give evil counsel in this city;
3 ka p di: ‘Tan pou bati kay yo pa pwòch. Vil sa a se chodyè a e nou se chè a.’
Who say, [The evil] is not near; so let us build houses: this [city] is the pot, and we are the flesh.
4 Akoz sa, pwofetize kont yo, fis a lòm. Se pou ou pwofetize!”
Therefore prophesy against them, prophesy, O son of man.
5 Lespri SENYÈ a te tonbe sou mwen e Li te di mwen: “Pale konsa, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Konsa ou reflechi, o lakay Israël, paske Mwen konnen panse nou yo.
And the Spirit of the Lord fell upon me, and said unto me, Speak, Thus hath said the Lord, Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; and whatever cometh into your mind, do I know full well.
6 Nou te miltipliye moun ki touye yo nan vil sa a, e plen ri yo nèt avèk yo.”
Ye have multiplied those slain by you in this city, and ye have filled its streets with the slain.
7 “‘Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Moun touye nou yo ke nou te fè kouche nan mitan vil la, se chè a, e vil la se chodyè a; men nou va mennen sòti ladann.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Those slain by you whom ye have struck down in the midst of it, —they are the flesh, and this place is the pot; but you are to be removed out of the midst of it.
8 Nou te pè yon nepe. Pou sa, mwen va mennen yon nepe rive sou nou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
The sword have ye feared: and the sword will I bring over you, saith the Lord Eternal.
9 “Epi Mwen va mennen nou sòti nan mitan vil la. Mwen va delivre nou nan men a etranje yo, e egzekite jijman kont nou.
And I will remove you out of the midst of it, and I will give you up into the hand of strangers, and will execute punishments among you.
10 Nou va tonbe pa nepe. Mwen va jije nou jis rive nan lizyè Israël la. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
By the sword shall ye fall; on the boundary of Israel will I judge you: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
11 Vil la p ap yon chodyè pou nou, ni nou p ap chè nan mitan l. Men Mwen va jije nou jis rive nan lizyè Israël la.
This place shall not be unto you as a pot, so that you should be as flesh in the midst of it; but on the boundary of Israel will I judge you.
12 Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, paske nou pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo. Ni nou pa t swiv lalwa Mwen yo, men nou te aji selon lalwa a nasyon sila ki antoure nou yo.”’”
And ye shall know that I am the Lord: because in my statutes have ye not walked, and my ordinances have ye not executed; but ye have done after the ordinances of the nations that are round about you.
13 Alò, li te vin rive ke pandan mwen t ap pwofetize a, ke Pelathia, fis a Benaja a, te mouri. Epi mwen te tonbe sou figi mwen, mwen te kriye fò ak yon gwo vwa e mwen te di: “Anmwey, Senyè BONDYE! Èske Ou va mennen retay Israël la pou fin detwi nèt?”
And it came to pass, as I was prophesying, that Pelatyahu the son of Benayah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
Then came the word of the Lord unto me, saying,
15 “Fis a lòm, frè ou yo, fanmi ou yo, egzile parèy ou yo ak tout lakay Israël la, yo tout, se moun a sila abitan Jérusalem yo te di: ‘Ale lwen SENYÈ a; peyi sa a te bay a nou kon posesyon.’”
Son of man, thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and the whole house of Israel altogether, are they unto whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Remain you far from the Lord: unto us is this land given for a possession.
16 “Akoz sa, ou va di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Byenke mwen te deplase yo byen lwen pami nasyon yo e byenke mwen te gaye yo pami peyi yo, malgre mwen va yon abri pou yo pou yon ti tan nan peyi kote yo rive yo.”’
Therefore say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries: yet will I be to them as a minor sanctuary in the countries whither they are come.
17 “Akoz sa, ou va di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va ranmase nou soti nan pèp yo, Mwen va rasanble nou sòti nan peyi pami sila nou te gaye yo, e Mwen va bannou peyi Israël la.”
Therefore say, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will both gather you from the people, and assemble you out of the countries whether ye have been scattered, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 “‘Lè yo vini la, yo va retire tout bagay abominab li yo ak tout abominasyon li yo sòti ladann.
And they shall come thither, and they shall remove all its detestable things, and all its abominations out of it.
19 Konsa, Mwen va bay yo yon sèl kè e Mwen va mete yon lespri nèf anndan yo. Epi Mwen va retire kè wòch ki nan chè yo a, e Mwen va bay yo yon kè ki fèt ak chè,
And I will give them one single heart, and a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of their body, and I will give unto them a heart of flesh:
20 pou yo ka mache nan règleman Mwen yo e kenbe lalwa Mwen yo pou fè yo. Konsa, yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo.
In order that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them; and they shall be unto me for a people, and I will indeed be unto them for a God.
21 Men pou sila ak kè k ap swiv bagay abominab yo ak abominasyon yo, Mwen va mennen kondwit yo desann sou tèt yo,” deklare “Senyè BONDYE a.”
But as for those whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, their way do I bring upon their own head, saith the Lord Eternal.
22 Epi cheriben yo te leve zèl yo ak wou akote yo e glwa a Bondye Israël la te vin pann sou yo.
Then did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels at the same time with them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
23 Glwa SENYÈ a te monte soti nan mitan vil la e te kanpe anwo mòn ki nan pati lès vil la.
And the glory of the Lord ascended from the midst of the city, and halted upon the mount which is on the east side of the city.
24 Epi Lespri a te fè m leve e te mennen mwen nan yon vizyon pa Lespri Bondye a, bò kote egzile Chaldée yo. Se konsa vizyon mwen te wè a, te kite mwen.
But a spirit bore me up, and brought me into Chaldea, to those in exile, in the appearance through the spirit of God: and then ascended away from me the appearance which I had seen.
25 Epi mwen te di egzile yo tout bagay ke SENYÈ a te montre mwen.
Then did I speak unto those in exile all the things that the Lord had shown me.
