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 the Spirit lifted me up, and brought me into the east gate of the house of Yahweh which looketh eastward, and lo! in the opening of the gate, twenty-five men, —and I saw in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah 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 unto me, Son of man, These, are the men who are devising iniquity, and who are counselling wicked 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 are saying, Not near! let us build houses, — It, 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. 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.

Then fell upon me the Spirit of Yahweh, and he said unto me Say—Thus, saith Yahweh, Thus have ye said O house of Israel, Yea, the things that come up on your spirit, I, know every one.

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 have filled her streets with 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 My Lord Yahweh, Your slain. whom ye have laid in her midst, They are the flesh, and She is the caldron, —when ye are taken out of her midst.

8 Nou te pè yon nepe. Pou sa, mwen va mennen yon nepe rive sou nou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

A sword, have ye feared, — And a sword, will I bring in upon you, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

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.

So will I take you forth out of her midst, and will deliver you into the hand of foreigners, —and will execute upon you judgments.

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, Upon the boundary of Israel, will I judge you, —So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh.

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 serve you for a caldron, Neither shall, ye, serve in the midst thereof for flesh, —Near 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.”’”

So shall ye know that, I, am Yahweh. In whose statutes, ye have not walked And whose appointments, ye have not executed, — But according to the appointments of the nations that are round about you, have ye done.

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 prophesied, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah died, —so then I fell down upon my face and made outcry with a loud voice and said— Alas! My Lord Yahweh! A full end, art thou making of the remnant of Israel?

14 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:

Then came the word of Yahweh 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 Thine own brethren, thine own brethren the men of thy kindred, even all the house of Israel all of it are they to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Get you far away from Yahweh, To us, it is that the land, hath been 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 saith My Lord. Yahweh, Although I have removed them far away among the nations, And although I have dispersed them throughout the lands Yet have I become to them a sanctuary for a little while, in the lands which they have entered

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 My Lord Yahweh, Therefore will I assemble you from among the peoples, And gather you out of the lands wherein ye have been dispersed, - And will give you the soil of Israel.

18 “‘Lè yo vini la, yo va retire tout bagay abominab li yo ak tout abominasyon li yo sòti ladann.

So shall they come in thither, — and take away all her detestable things, and all her abominations, out of her;

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 another heart, And a new spirit, will I put within you, —And will take away the heart of stone out of their flesh, and 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.

To the end that in my statutes, they may walk, And mine appointments, they may keep, and do them, — So shall they become my people, And I will become 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 who having a heart for their detestable things and for their abominations after their own heart, do walk, Their way upon their own heads, will I render, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

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, the wheels also going in unison with them, — the glory of the God of Israel, being 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.

Thus went up the glory of Yahweh, out from the midst of the city, —and stood on the mountain, which is on the east 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.

And, the spirit lifted me up, and brought me to Chaldea unto them of the captivity, in the vision by the Spirit of God, —thus went up from me, the vision which I had seen.

25 Epi mwen te di egzile yo tout bagay ke SENYÈ a te montre mwen.

So I spake unto them of the captivity, —all the words of Yahweh which he had shewed me.
