Ezekyèl 14
1 Epi kèk nan ansyen Israël yo te parèt kote mwen e te chita devan m.
Then came certaine of the Elders of Israel vnto me, and sate before me.
2 Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
And the worde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
3 “Fis a lòm, mesye sila yo te fin etabli zidòl pa yo nan kè yo. Yo te mete yo toudwat devan figi yo kon wòch k ap fè moun chite, a pou fè yo tonbe nan inikite yo. Èske Mwen ta menm dwe koute kesyon yo?
Sonne of man, these men haue set vp their idoles in their heart, and put the stumbling blocke of their iniquitie before their face: should I, being required, answere them?
4 Pou sa, pale ak yo e di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nenpòt moun lakay Israël ki pozisyone zidòl nan kè li, ki mete dwat devan figi l, wòch ki pou fè l tonbe nan inikite li a, e alò, ta vin jwenn pwofèt la, Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, va vin bay li repons sou sijè a, an akòd ak fòs kantite zidòl li genyen yo,
Therefore speake vnto them, and say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God, Euery man of the house of Israel that setteth vp his idols in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to the Prophet, I the Lord will answere him that commeth, according to the multitude of his idoles:
5 pou M ka kenbe kè lakay Israël la, tout ki byen lwen M akoz zidòl yo.”’”
That I may take the house of Israel in their owne heart, because they are all departed from me through their idoles.
6 “Pou sa, di a tout lakay Israël la, ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Repanti, vire kite zidòl nou yo, e vire figi nou lwen de tout abominasyon nou yo.”’”
Therfore say vnto the house of Israel, Thus sayth the Lord God, Returne, and withdraw your selues, and turne your faces from your idoles, and turne your faces from all your abominations.
7 “Paske nenpòt moun lakay Israël, o menm etranje ki vin viv la, ki separe li de Mwen menm, pou l mete zidòl li yo nan kè l, ki vin mete dwat devan figi li, wòch ki pou fè l tonbe nan inikite li a, e alò apre ta rive kote pwofèt la pou mande koze pou pwòp tèt li, Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Mwen va vin parèt pou bay li repons nan pwòp pèsonaj pa M.
For euery one of the house of Israel, or of the stranger that soiourneth in Israel, which departeth from mee, and setteth vp his idoles in his heart, and putteth the stumbling blocke of his iniquitie before his face, and commeth to a Prophet, for to inquire of him for me, I the Lord will answere him for my selfe,
8 Mwen va pozisyone figi M kont mesye sa a, fè li yon sign ak yon pwovèb, e Mwen va koupe retire li nèt de pèp Mwen an. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
And I will set my face against that man, and will make him an example and prouerbe, and I will cut him off from the middes of my people, and ye shall knowe that I am the Lord.
9 “Men si pwofèt sila vin twonpe, epi pale yon pawòl, se Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, ki te fè pwofèt sa a vin twonpe. Konsa, Mwen va lonje men M kont li pou detwi li soti pami pèp Mwen an, Israël.
And if the Prophet be deceiued, when hee hath spoken a thing, I the Lord haue deceiued that Prophet, and I will stretch out mine hande vpon him, and will destroy him from the middes of my people of Israel.
10 Yo va pote frè inikite yo. Jan inikite a sila k ap mande l pale a, se konsa inikite a pwofèt la va ye,
And they shall beare their punishment: the punishment of the Prophet shall bee euen as the punishment of him that asketh,
11 pou lakay Israël pa egare lwen Mwen ankò, e pou yo pa souye tèt yo ankò ak tout transgresyon yo. Konsa, yo va vin pèp mwen, e Mwen va Bondye yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.”
That the house of Israel may go no more astray from mee, neither bee polluted any more with all their transgressions, but that they may be my people, and I may be their God, sayth the Lord God.
12 Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen, e te di:
The worde of the Lord came againe vnto me, saying,
13 “Fis a lòm, si yon peyi peche kont Mwen nan komèt enfidelite, Mwen va lonje men M kont li, detwi sous pen li, voye gwo grangou kont li, e koupe retire nèt de li, ni lòm, ni bèt.
Sonne of man, when ye land sinneth against me by committing a trespasse, then will I stretch out mine hand vpon it, and will breake the staffe of the bread thereof, and will send famine vpon it, and I will destroy man and beast forth of it.
14 Menmsi twa mesye sila yo, Noé, Daniel, ak Job te nan mitan yo, ladwati yo pa ta delivre plis ke pwop nanm pa yo”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
Though these three men Noah, Daniel, and Iob were among them, they shoulde deliuer but their owne soules by their righteousnes, saith the Lord God.
15 “Si Mwen te fè bèt sovaj pase nan peyi a, e li vin dezole jis pou pèsòn pa ta pase ladann akoz bèt yo,
If I bring noysome beastes into the lande and they spoyle it, so that it bee desolate, that no man may passe through, because of beastes,
16 menmsi twa mesye sila yo te la nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo. Se yo sèl ki t ap delivre, men peyi a t ap vin dezole nèt.
Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall saue neither sonnes nor daughters: they onely shalbe deliuered, but the land shall be waste.
17 “Ni, si Mwen ta mennen yon nepe sou peyi sa a e di: ‘Kite nepe a pase nan tout peyi a pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt ladann,’—
Or if I bring a sworde vpon this land, and say, Sword, go through the land, so that I destroy man and beast out of it,
18 menmsi, twa mesye sila yo te nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo, men se sèl yo menm ki ta delivre.
Though these three men were in the mids thereof, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonnes nor daughters, but they onely shall be deliuered themselues.
19 “Oswa, si M ta voye yon gwo grangou kont peyi sa, e vide kòlè Mwen an san sou li, pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt ladann—
Or if I send a pestilence into this land, and powre out my wrath vpon it in blood, to destroy out of it man and beast,
20 menmsi Noé, Daniel ak Job te nan mitan l, kon Mwen viv la, deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “yo pa t ap ka delivre ni fis yo, ni fi yo. Yo ta delivre sèlman pwòp tèt yo, pa ladwati pa yo.”
And though Noah, Daniel and Iob were in the middes of it, As I liue, sayth the Lord God, they shall deliuer neither sonne nor daughter: they shall but deliuer their owne soules by their righteousnes.
21 Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Konbyen ankò lè Mwen voye kat gwo jijman Mwen yo kont Jérusalem: nepe, gwo grangou, bèt sovaj ak epidemi pou koupe retire nèt ni lòm ni bèt sou li!
For thus saith the Lord God, Howe much more when I sende my foure sore iudgements vpon Ierusalem, euen the sworde, and famine, and the noysome beast and pestilence, to destroy man and beast out of it?
22 Malgre sa, gade byen, gen yon retay ki va pote soti ladann, ni fis, ni fi. Gade byen, yo va vin parèt vè ou menm e ou va wè kondwit ak zèv yo. Konsa ou va vin rekonfòte pou gwo malè ke M te mennen sou Jérusalem nan, pou tout bagay ke M te mennen sou li yo.
Yet beholde, therein shalbe left a remnant of them that shalbe caryed away both sonnes and daughters: behold, they shall come forth vnto you, and ye shall see their way, and their enterprises: and ye shall be comforted, concerning the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, euen concerning al that I haue brought vpon it.
23 Nan lè sa a, yo va rekonfòte ou lè ou wè kondwit ak aksyon yo, paske ou va konnen ke M pa t fè anyen san koz,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
And they shall comfort you, when yee see their way and their enterprises: and ye shall know, that I haue not done without cause all that I haue done in it, saith the Lord God.
