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.
Then the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that looketh toward the east; and behold, at the entrance of the gate were five and twenty men; among whom I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, 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 to me: These are the men that devise mischief, and form evil designs 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 time is not near that we should build houses. This city is the caldron, 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 Jehovah fell upon me, and he said to me, Speak: Thus saith Jehovah: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel! For I know the things that come into your mind, every one of them.
6 Nou te miltipliye moun ki touye yo nan vil sa a, e plen ri yo nèt avèk yo.”
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Your slain, whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but you will I bring forth 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.
Ye have feared the sword, and the sword will I bring upon you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 bring you out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and execute judgments upon 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.
Ye shall fall by the sword; on the borders of Israel will I judge you, that ye may know that I am Jehovah.
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 city shall not be your caldron, neither shall ye be the flesh in the midst thereof. On the borders 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.”’”
that ye may know that I am Jehovah, in whose statutes ye have not walked, and whose ordinances ye have not observed, but have done according to the manners 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, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah, wilt thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?
14 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of Jehovah came to 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 near kindred, and the whole house of Israel, are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem say, “Remove ye far from Jehovah; to us is the land given in 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Though I have cast them far off among the nations, and scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them as a sanctuary for a short time 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: I will gather you from the nations, and assemble you from the countries where 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 take away from thence all the detestable things thereof, and all the abominations thereof.
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 heart, and I will put a new spirit within them; and I will take out of them the heart of stone, and will give 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.
that they may walk in my statutes, and observe my ordinances, and keep them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their 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 them whose heart walketh according to the pleasure of their detestable things and their abominations, I will recompense their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside 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 Jehovah went up from the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain 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.
Then the spirit took me up, and brought me to Chaldaea, to them of the captivity, in vision, by the spirit of God. And the vision which I had seen went up from me.
25 Epi mwen te di egzile yo tout bagay ke SENYÈ a te montre mwen.
Then I spake to them of the captivity all the words of Jehovah which he had showed me.
