Ezekyèl 12
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 Fis a lòm, ou rete nan mitan yon kay rebèl, ki gen zye pou wè, men yo pa wè, e zòrèy pou tande, men yo pa tande; paske se kay rebèl yo ye.
Son of man, thou dwellest in the midst of a provoking house: who have eyes to see, and see not: and ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a provoking house.
3 “Pou sa, fis a lòm, prepare valiz ou menm pou ou ekzile e antre an egzil nan mitan jounen an kote yo ka wè l byen klè. Nan egzil, ou va deplase yon kote pou rive yon lòt kote devan zye yo. Petèt yo va konprann, malgre se yon kay rebèl yo ye.
Thou, therefore, O son of man, prepare thee all necessaries for removing, and remove by day in their sight: and thou shalt remove out of thy place to another place in their sight, if so be they will regard it: for they are a provoking house.
4 Mete bagaj ou deyò devan zye yo, kon bagaj pou egzil. Konsa, ou va sòti deyò nan aswè devan zye yo, tankou sila ki prale an egzil yo.
And thou shalt bring forth thy furniture as the furniture of one that is removing by day in their sight: and thou shalt go forth in the evening in their presence, as one goeth forth that removeth his dwelling.
5 Fouye yon twou nan miray la devan zye yo, e sòti ladann pou vin deyò.
Dig thee a way through the wall before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth through it.
6 Mete bagaj ou sou zepòl ou devan yo pou yo wè e pote li sòti deyò nan aswè. Ou va kouvri figi ou pou ou pa ka wè peyi a, paske Mwen plase ou kon yon sign pou lakay Israël.”
In their sight thou shalt be carried out upon men’s shoulders, thou shalt be carried out in the dark: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign of things to come to the house of Israel.
7 Mwen te fè sa konsa jan mwen te kòmande a. Nan lajounen, mwen te mennen bagaj mwen deyò, tankou bagaj a yon egzile. Epi nan aswè, mwen te fouye yon twou nan miray la ak men m. Mwen te sòti deyò nan fènwa a e te pote li sou zepòl mwen pou yo ta ka wè l.
I did therefore as he had commanded me: I brought forth my goods by day, as the goods of one that removeth: and in the evening I digged through the wall with my hand: and I went forth in the dark, and was carried on men’s shoulders in their sight.
8 Nan maten, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying:
9 “Fis a lòm, èske lakay Israël, kay rebèl sa a, pa t di ou: ‘Kisa w ap fè la a?’
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to thee: What art thou doing?
10 “Di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Fado sa a se pou prens Jérusalem nan, li menm ak tout lakay Israël ki ladann nan.”’
Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: This burden concerneth my prince that is in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel, that are among them.
11 “Di yo: ‘Mwen se yon sign pou nou. Jan mwen te fè, se konsa l ap vin rive nou. Konsa, yo va ale an egzil, an kaptivite.
Say: I am a sign of things to come to you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall be removed from their dwellings, and go into captivity.
12 “‘Prens ki pami yo a va chaje bagaj li sou zepòl li nan aswè pou sòti. Yo va fouye yon twou nan miray la pou fè l sòti. Li va kouvri figi li pou li pa wè peyi a ak pwòp zye li.
And the prince that is in the midst of them, shall be carried on shoulders, he shall go forth in the dark: they shall dig through the wall to bring him out: his face shall be covered, that he may not see the ground with his eyes.
13 Anplis, Mwen va voye filè Mwen sou li e li va vin kenbe nan pèlen Mwen. Konsa, Mwen va mennen li Babylone, nan peyi a Kaldeyen yo. Men li p ap wè l; malgre sa, se la l ap mouri.
And I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die.
14 Mwen va gaye nan tout van, tout sila ki antoure li yo, moun k ap ede li yo ak tout sòlda li yo. Epi se nepe a Mwen va rale dèyè yo.
And all that are about him, his guards, and his troops I will scatter into every wind: and I will draw out the sword after them.
15 “‘Pou yo ka konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a lè Mwen gaye yo pami nasyon yo e pwopaje yo pami peyi yo.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have dispersed them among the nations, and scattered them in the countries.
16 Men Mwen va epanye kèk nan yo de nepe a, gwo grangou a, ak epidemi a, pou yo ka pale tout abominasyon yo pami nasyon kote yo prale yo. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.’”
And I will leave a few men of them from the sword, and from the famine, and from the pestilence: that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the nations whither they shall go: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “Fis a lòm, manje pen ou ak tranbleman, e bwè dlo ou ak tranbleman e ak kè twouble.
Son of man, eat thy bread in trouble: and drink thy water in hurry and sorrow.
19 Di a pèp peyi a: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a konsènan moun ki rete Jérusalem yo nan peyi Israël la: “Yo va manje pen yo ak kè twouble e bwè dlo ak gwo laperèz, akoz peyi yo va depouye nèt de tout bonte li, akoz vyolans a tout moun ki demere ladann yo.
And say to the people of the land: Thus saith the Lord God to them that dwell in Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in care, and drink their water in desolation: that the land may become desolate from the multitude that is therein, for the iniquity of all that dwell therein.
20 Vil kote moun rete yo va vin devaste nèt e peyi a va vin yon dezolasyon. Konsa, ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
And the cities that are now inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
21 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
22 “Fis a lòm, ki pwovèb sa a, ke nou menm pèp la, gen konsènan peyi Israël, ki di: ‘Jou yo long e tout vizyon yo vin gate’?
Son of man, what is this proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: The days shall be prolonged, and every vision shall fail.
23 Pou sa, di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va fè pwovèb sa a sispann pou yo pa sèvi l ankò kon pwovèb an Israël.”’ Men di yo: “Jou yo ap apwoche ansanm ak lè pou tout vizyon yo akonpli.
Say to them therefore: Thus saith the Lord God: I will make this proverb to cease, neither shall it be any more a common saying in Israel: and tell them that the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 Paske p ap gen ankò okenn fo vizyon ni okenn divinasyon flatè anndan kay Israël la.
For there shall be no more any vain visions, nor doubtful divination in the midst of the children of Israel.
25 Paske Mwen menm, SENYÈ a va pale e nenpòt pawòl ke M di, va vin acheve. Sa p ap pran reta ankò, paske nan jou ou yo, O lakay rebèl, Mwen va pale pawòl la e Mwen va akonpli li,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
For I the Lord will speak: and what word soever I shall speak, it shall come to pass, and shall not be prolonged any more: but in your days, ye provoking house, I will speak the word, and will do it, saith the Lord God.
26 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
27 “Fis a lòm, gade byen, lakay Israël ap di: ‘Vizyon ke li fè a se pou anpil ane k ap vini e li pwofetize pou yon tan ki lwen.’
Son of man, behold the house of Israel, they that say: The vision that this man seeth, is for many days to come: and this men prophesieth of times afar off.
28 “Pou sa, di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Okenn nan pawòl Mwen yo p ap pran reta ankò. Nenpòt sa ke M pale, va vin akonpli,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Not one word of mine shall be prolonged any more: the word that I shall speak shall be accomplished, saith the Lord God.
