Ezekyèl 13
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 “Fis a lòm, pwofetize kont pwofèt Israël ki pwofetize. Di a sila kap pwofetize pawòl ki soti nan pwòp enspirasyon pa yo, ‘Koute pawòl SENYÈ a:
“Son of man, prophesy concerning the prophets of Israel who are prophesying, and you have said to those prophesying from their own heart, Hear a word of YHWH!
3 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a pwofèt san konprann k ap swiv pwòp lespri pa yo, e ki pa t vrèman wè anyen.
Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to the prophets who are foolish, Who are going after their own spirit, And they have seen nothing.
4 O Israël, pwofèt nou yo te tankou rena pami pil mazi ki fin kraze.
Your prophets have been As foxes in the wasteland, O Israel.
5 Nou pa t antre nan brèch yo, ni nou pa t bati yon miray pou antoure lakay Israël pou l ta ka kanpe nan batay nan jou SENYÈ a.
You have not gone up into breaches, Nor do you make a wall for the house of Israel, To stand in battle in a day of YHWH.
6 Yo wè tout sa ki fo, ak divinò k ap bay manti yo, k ap di: ‘Pawòl SENYÈ a deklare’, lè se pa SENYÈ a ki te voye yo. Malgre sa, yo gen espwa ke pawòl yo va vin akonpli.
They have seen vanity, and lying divination, Who are saying: A declaration of YHWH, And YHWH has not sent them, And they have hoped to establish a word.
7 Èske nou pa t fè yon fo vizyon, e pale ak lang ki t ap bay manti lè nou te di: ‘SENYÈ a deklare’, men se pa Mwen ki te pale a?”’”
Have you not seen a vain vision, And spoken a lying divination, When you say, A declaration of YHWH, And I have not spoken?
8 Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz nou te pale sa ki fo, e te wè yon manti; akoz sa, gade byen, Mwen kont nou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have spoken vanity, and seen a lie, Therefore, behold, I [am] against you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
9 “Konsa, men Mwen va kont pwofèt yo ki fè fo vizyon yo; ki pale divinasyon ki manti yo. Yo p ap gen plas nan konsèy a pèp Mwen an ni yo p ap ekri nan rejis lakay Israël yo. Ni yo p ap antre nan peyi Israël la. Konsa, nou ka konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.”
And My hand has been on the prophets, Who are seeing vanity, and who are divining a lie, They are not in the assembly of My people, And they are not written in the writing of the house of Israel, And they do not come to the ground of Israel, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.
10 “‘Akoz, anverite yo te egare pèp Mwen an lè yo te di: “Lapè,” lè pa t gen lapè. Lè nenpòt moun bati yon miray, gade byen, yo fè l randwi ak lacho.
Because, even because, they caused My people to err, Saying, Peace! And there is no peace, And that one is building a wall, And behold, they are coating it with chalk.
11 Donk, pale a sila ki randwi li ak lacho yo, ke li va tonbe. Yon inondasyon lapli va vini, e nou menm, o gran lagrèl, va tonbe. Yon van vyolan va pete l.
Say to those coating with chalk—It falls, There has been an overflowing shower, And you, O hailstones, fall, And a turbulent wind breaks out,
12 Gade byen, lè miray la fin tonbe, èske yo p ap mande nou: “Kote lacho ke nou te sèvi nan randwi li a?”
And behold, the wall has fallen! Does one not say to you, Where [is] the coating that you coated?
13 “‘Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va fè yon van vyolan vin pete nan kòlè Mwen. Anplis, va genyen nan mekontantman Mwen, yon inondasyon lapli ak lagrèl pou konsonmen li nèt ak gwo laraj.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: I have broken with a turbulent wind in My fury, And an overflowing shower is in My anger, And hailstones in My fury—to consume.
14 Konsa, Mwen va demoli miray ke nou te kouvri ak randisaj la jis rive atè, jis fondasyon li yo fin ekspoze nèt. Epi lè l tonbe, nou va vin manje nan mitan li. Epi nou va vin konprann ke se Mwen ki SENYÈ a.
And I have broken down the wall that you coated with chalk, And have caused it to come to the earth, And its foundation has been revealed, And it has fallen, And you have been consumed in its midst, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
15 Se konsa, Mwen va pase kòlè Mwen sou miray la ak sou sila ki te fè randisaj ak lacho sou li yo. Mwen va di nou, ‘Miray la pa la ankò, ni bòs randisaj yo pa la ankò.
And I have completed My wrath on the wall, And on those coating it with chalk, And I say to you: The wall is not, And those coating it are not,
16 Konsa ak pwofèt Israël sa yo ki pwofetize a Jérusalem yo, ki te fè vizyon lapè pou li yo, lè pat gen lapè a,’” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
[These]—the prophets of Israel, who are prophesying concerning Jerusalem, And who are seeing a vision of peace for her, And there is no peace, A declaration of Lord YHWH.
17 Alò, ou menm, fis a lòm, mete figi ou kont fi a pèp ou yo, k ap pwofetize apati pwòp enspirasyon yo. Se pou ou pwofetize kont yo,
And you, son of man, set your face against the daughters of your people, who are prophesying out of their own heart, and prophesy concerning them,
18 pou di: “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Malè a fanm ki koud braslè kon wanga sou tout ponyèt yo e fè vwal yo pou tèt moun tout wotè, pou fè lachas moun! Èske nou va chase nanm a pèp Mwen an, men konsève nanm a lòt yo pou nou menm?
And you have said, Thus said Lord YHWH: Woe to those sowing [magic] bands for all joints of the arm, And to those making the veils For the head of every stature—to hunt souls, Do you hunt the souls of My people? And do your souls that live remain alive?
19 Pou yon men ki plen ak lòj ak kèk grenn pen, nou te degrade Mwen a pèp Mwen an, pou fè lantre nan lanmò kèk nanm ki pa ta dwe mouri, e kenbe vivan lòt ki pa ta dwe viv, nan fè manti ou a pèp Mwen an ki koute manti.’”
Indeed, you pierce Me concerning My people, For handfuls of barley, And for pieces of bread, To put to death souls that should not die, And to keep alive souls that should not live, By your lying to My people—listening to lies.
20 Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen kont braslè wanga nou yo, avèk sila nou chache lavi moun, tankou se zwazo yo. Mwen va rache yo nan bra nou. Epi Mwen va lage nanm sa yo lib, menm nanm de sila ke nou kapte, tankou se zwazo yo.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I [am] against your [magic] bands, With which you are hunting there the souls of the flourishing, And I have torn them from off your arms, And have sent away the souls that you are hunting, The souls of the flourishing.
21 Anplis, Mwen va chire vwal nou yo, Mwen va delivre pèp Mwen an soti nan men nou, e yo p ap nan men nou ankò pou fè viktim lachas. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
And I have torn your veils, And delivered My people out of your hand, And they are no longer for a prey in your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH.
22 Akoz nou te dekouraje moun ladwati a lè Mwen pa t fè yo trist; epi nou te ankouraje mechan an pou l pa kite mechanste li, pou l sove,
Because of paining the heart of the righteous with falsehood, And I have not pained it, And strengthening the hands of the wicked, So as not to turn [him] back from his evil way, To keep him alive,
23 pou sa, nou p ap fè fo vizyon ankò, ni pratike divinasyon. Mwen va delivre pèp Mwen an sòti nan men nou. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
Therefore, you do not see vanity, And you do not divine divination again, And I have delivered My people out of your hand, And you have known that I [am] YHWH!”
