Ezekyèl 16

1 Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

Again the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Fis a lòm, fè Jérusalem konnen abominasyon li yo.

“Son of man, confront Jerusalem with her abominations

3 Di li: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a a Jérusalem: “Orijin ou ak nesans ou se te nan peyi Canaan, papa ou se te yon Amoreyen e manman ou yon Etyèn.

and tell her that this is what the Lord GOD says to Jerusalem: Your origin and your birth were in the land of the Canaanites. Your father was an Amorite and your mother a Hittite.

4 Pou nesans ou, nan jou ou te fèt la, kòd lonbrit ou pa t koupe, ni ou pa t lave ak dlo pou vin pwòp. Ou pa t fwote ak sèl, ni menm vlope nan rad.

On the day of your birth your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water for cleansing. You were not rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths.

5 Pa t gen zye ki te gen pitye pou ou, ni ki te gen konpasyon pou ou. Pito ou te jete nan yon chan ouvri, paske yo te twouve ou abominab depi jou ke ou te fèt la.

No one cared enough for you to do even one of these things out of compassion for you. Instead, you were thrown out into the open field, because you were despised on the day of your birth.

6 “‘“Lè m te pase bò kote ou, e Mwen te wè ou t ap tòde nan san ou, Mwen te di ou pandan ou te nan san ou an: ‘Viv’! Wi, Mwen te di ou pandan ou te nan san ou an: ‘Viv’!

Then I passed by and saw you wallowing in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, ‘Live!’ There I said to you, ‘Live!’

7 Mwen te fè ou vin anpil, tankou plant nan chan yo. Ou te vin grandi, ou te vin wo, e ou te vin rive nan laj pou bèl flè. Tete ou te fòme e cheve ou te grandi. Malgre sa, ou te toutouni e san rad.

I made you thrive like a plant of the field. You grew up and matured and became very beautiful. Your breasts were formed and your hair grew, but you were naked and bare.

8 “‘“Mwen te pase bò kote ou pou te wè ou e gade byen, ou te vin nan lè pou fè renmen. Alò konsa, mwen te lonje jip Mwen sou ou pou te kouvri toutouni ou an. Anplis, Mwen te sèmante a ou menm, e te antre nan yon akò avèk ou pou ou te vin pou Mwen,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

Then I passed by and saw you, and you were indeed old enough for love. So I spread My cloak over you and covered your nakedness. I pledged Myself to you, entered into a covenant with you, and you became Mine, declares the Lord GOD.

9 “‘“Mwen te benyen ou ak dlo, lave fè san sòti sou ou e Mwen te onksyone ou avèk lwil.

Then I bathed you with water, rinsed off your blood, and anointed you with oil.

10 Anplis, Mwen te abiye ou ak twal ak bèl bwodri, Mwen te mete sandal fèt ak po bazann nan pye ou. Mwen te vlope ou ak len fen e te kouvri ou ak swa.

I clothed you in embroidered cloth and gave you sandals of fine leather. I wrapped you in fine linen and covered you with silk.

11 Mwen te fè ou bèl ak dekorasyon. Mwen te mete braslè nan men ou ak yon kolye nan kou ou.

I adorned you with jewelry, and I put bracelets on your wrists and a chain around your neck.

12 Anplis, mwen te mete yon zanno nan nen ou, zanno nan zòrèy ou ak yon bèl kouwòn nan tèt ou.

I put a ring in your nose, earrings on your ears, and a beautiful crown upon your head.

13 Konsa, ou te anbeli ak lò ak ajan e wòb ou te fèt ak len fen, oswa ak twal bwodri. Ou te manje farin fen, siwo myèl, ak lwil. Konsa, ou te tèlman vin bèl, e vin avanse nan yon pozisyon wayal.

So you were adorned with gold and silver, and your clothing was made of fine linen, silk, and embroidered cloth. You ate fine flour, honey, and oil. You became very beautiful and rose to be queen.

14 Answit, rekonesans ou te ale toupatou pami nasyon yo akoz bèlte ou. Paske li te pafè, akoz mayifisans ke Mwen te fè poze sou ou a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

Your fame spread among the nations on account of your beauty, for it was perfect in the splendor I bestowed on you, declares the Lord GOD.

15 “‘“Men ou te mete konfyans nan bèlte ou; ou te jwe pwostitiye akoz tout rekonesans ou. Ou te vide pwostitisyon ou an nan tout moun ale vini ki te disponib.

But because of your fame, you trusted in your beauty and played the harlot. You lavished your favors on everyone who passed by, and your beauty was theirs for the asking.

16 Ou te pran kèk nan rad ou yo, pou fè pou kont ou wo plas ak plizyè koulè, e te jwe pwostitiye ak yo. Sa a pa ta janm dwe rive, ni li pa p fèt.

You took some of your garments and made colorful high places for yourself, and on them you prostituted yourself. Such things should not have happened; never should they have occurred!

17 Anplis, ou te pran bèl bijou ou yo, fèt ak lò ak ajan pa M, ke M te bay ou. Ak yo ou te fè pou kont ou imaj a gason pou ou te ka jwe pwostitiye ak yo.

You also took the fine jewelry of gold and silver I had given you, and you made male idols with which to prostitute yourself.

18 Epi ou te pran twal bwodri ou a pou te kouvri yo, e te ofri lwil ak lansan Mwen an devan yo.

You took your embroidered garments to cover them, and you set My oil and incense before them.

19 Anplis, pen Mwen an, ke M te bay ou a, farin fen, lwil ak siwo myèl, avèk sila Mwen te konn bay ou manje yo, ou te ofri yo devan yo kon yon odè santi bon. Se konsa sa te rive,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

And you set before them as a pleasing aroma the food I had given you—the fine flour, oil, and honey that I had fed you. That is what happened, declares the Lord GOD.

20 “‘Anplis, ou te pran fis ak fi ke ou te fè pou Mwen yo, e ou te sèvi yo kon sakrifis a zidòl pou yo ta ka vin devore. Èske afè pwostitisyon ou an te yon ti bagay piti?

You even took the sons and daughters you bore to Me and sacrificed them as food to idols. Was your prostitution not enough?

21 Ou te fè labatwa ak pitit Mwen yo, e te ofri yo bay zidòl, lè ou koze yo pase nan dife.

You slaughtered My children and delivered them up through the fire to idols.

22 Anplis ke tout abominasyon ak pwostitisyon ou yo, ou pa t sonje jou jenès ou yo, lè ou te toutouni, san rad e t ap tòde nan pwòp san ou an.

And in all your abominations and acts of prostitution, you did not remember the days of your youth when you were naked and bare, wallowing in your own blood.

23 “‘Konsa, li te vin rive apre tout mechanste ou yo—Malè, malè a ou menm!’, deklare Senyè BONDYE —

Woe! Woe to you, declares the Lord GOD. And in addition to all your other wickedness,

24 “Ke ou te bati pou kont ou yon lotèl, e te fè yon wo plas tout kote.

you built yourself a mound and made yourself a lofty shrine in every public square.

25 Ou te bati pou kont ou yon wo plas nan pwent anwo nan tout lari, ou te fè belte ou vin abominab e ou te ouvri janm ou pou tout ale vini pou ogmante pwostitisyon ou an.

At the head of every street you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty. With increasing promiscuity, you spread your legs to all who passed by.

26 Anplis, ou te jwe pwostitiye ak Ejipsyen yo, vwazen ou yo ak gwo anvi lachè e ou te ogmante pwostitisyon ou an pou fè m vin fache.

You prostituted yourself with your lustful neighbors, the Egyptians, and increased your promiscuity to provoke Me to anger.

27 Gade byen, Mwen te lonje men M kont ou pou te diminye nan sa ki te pou ou yo. Epi Mwen te livre ou a volonte a sila ki rayi ou yo, fi a Filisten yo, ki wont devan kondwit lèd ou a.

Therefore I stretched out My hand against you and reduced your portion. I gave you over to the desire of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who were ashamed of your lewd conduct.

28 Anplis, ou te jwe pwostitiye ak Asiryen yo akoz ou pa t satisfè. Wi, ou te jwe pwostitiye ak yo e ou te toujou pa satisfè a.

Then you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians, because you were not yet satisfied. Even after that, you were still not satisfied.

29 Anplis, ou te ogmante pwostitisyon ou an ak peyi komèsan yo, Chaldée. Menm malgre sa, ou pa t satisfè.

So you extended your promiscuity to Chaldea, the land of merchants—but even with this you were not satisfied!

30 “‘“A la kè ou fèb!” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “pandan w ap fè tout bagay sa yo, aksyon a yon pwostitiye ki san wont.

How weak-willed is your heart, declares the Lord GOD, while you do all these things, the acts of a shameless prostitute!

31 Lè ou te bati lotèl ou yo nan pwent a tout lari a, e te fè wo plas ou yo tout kote yo, san menm mande kòb, ou pa t sanble a yon pwostitiye.

But when you built your mounds at the head of every street and made your lofty shrines in every public square, you were not even like a prostitute, because you scorned payment.

32 “‘“Ou menm, fanm adiltè, ki pran etranje olye de mari li!

You adulterous wife! You receive strangers instead of your own husband!

33 Mesye yo konn bay kado a tout pwostitiye, men ou te bay kado ou a tout moun ki renmen ou yo pou rale yo vin kote ou sòti nan tout direksyon pou zak pwostitisyon ou yo.

Men give gifts to all their prostitutes, but you gave gifts to all your lovers. You bribed them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.

34 Konsa, ou apà de fanm sa yo nan fè pwostitisyon ou an. Nan sa, nanpwen moun ki jwe pwostitiye tankou ou. Ou menm konn vèse lajan olye resevwa lajan. Konsa, ou apà.”’

So your prostitution is the opposite of that of other women: No one solicited your favors, and you paid a fee instead of receiving one; so you are the very opposite!

35 “Pou sa, O pwostitiye, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.

Therefore, O prostitute, hear the word of the LORD!

36 ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz bagay lèd ou yo te vin vide nèt, toutouni ou a te fin dekouvri nèt atravè pwostitisyon ou ak moun ki renmen ou yo, e ak tout zidòl abominab ou yo, e akoz san a fis ou ke ou te bay a zidòl yo,

This is what the Lord GOD says: Because you poured out your wealth and exposed your nakedness in your promiscuity with your lovers and with all your detestable idols, and because of the blood of your children which you gave to them,

37 akoz sa, gade byen, Mwen va rasanble tout moun ki renmen ou yo avèk sila ou te pran plezi yo, menm tout sila ke ou te renmen yo, ak tout sila ou te rayi yo. Konsa, Mwen va rasanble yo kont ou soti nan tout direksyon e Mwen va fè toutouni ou an vin parèt a yo menm pou yo ka wè toutouni ou an nèt.

therefore I will surely gather all the lovers with whom you found pleasure, all those you loved and all those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and expose you before them, and they will see you completely naked.

38 Konsa, Mwen va jije ou kon fanm k ap komèt adiltè, oswa k ap vèse san moun ta jije. Epi Mwen va mennen sou ou san gwo kòlè a ak jalouzi.

And I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and those who shed blood; so I will bring upon you the wrath of your bloodshed and jealousy.

39 Anplis, Mwen va bay ou nan men a moun ki renmen ou yo, e yo va demoli tout lotèl ou yo, demoli wo plas ou yo, retire tout rad sou ou, retire tout bijou ou yo e kite ou toutouni, san rad.

Then I will deliver you into the hands of your lovers, and they will level your mounds and tear down your lofty shrines. They will strip off your clothes, take your fine jewelry, and leave you naked and bare.

40 Yo va pouse yon gwo foul kont ou, yo va lapide ou e rache ou an mòso ak nepe yo.

They will bring a mob against you, who will stone you and cut you to pieces with their swords.

41 Yo va brile lakay ou ak dife e egzekite jijman sou ou devan zye anpil fanm. Nan lè sa a, mwen va fè ou sispann jwe pwostitiye e ou p ap peye moun ou renmen yo ankò.

Then they will burn down your houses and execute judgment against you in the sight of many women. I will put an end to your prostitution, and you will never again pay your lovers.

42 Konsa, Mwen va kalme gwo chalè kòlè Mwen an kont ou. Jalouzi Mwen va kite ou, Mwen va vin satisfè e Mwen p ap fache ankò.

So I will lay to rest My wrath against you, and My jealousy will turn away from you. Then I will be calm and no longer angry.

43 “‘“Akoz ou pa t sonje jou jenès ou yo, men te fè m vin anraje akoz tout bagay sa yo; gade byen, Mwen, nan kou pa M nan, Mwen va desann tout kondwit ou a, sou pwòp tèt ou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, “pou ou pa komèt bagay lèd sa a pou mete sou tout lòt abominasyon ou yo.”

Because you did not remember the days of your youth, but enraged Me with all these things, I will surely bring your deeds down upon your own head, declares the Lord GOD. Have you not committed this lewdness on top of all your other abominations?

44 “‘“Gade byen, tout moun ki site pwovèb va site pwovèb sila a konsènan ou menm. Yo va di: ‘Jan manman an ye a, se konsa fi a ye.’

Behold, all who speak in proverbs will quote this proverb about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’

45 Ou se fi a manman ou, li te rayi mari li ak pitit li. Ou se, anplis, sè a sè ou yo, ki te rayi mari yo ak pitit yo. Manman ou te yon Etyèn e papa ou te yon Amoreyen.

You are the daughter of your mother, who despised her husband and children. You are the sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.

46 Alò, pi gran sè ou a se Samarie, ki viv sou kote nò ou, ak tout fi li yo; epi pi jèn sè ou a, ki rete nan kote sid ou a, se Sodome, ak tout fi li yo.

Your older sister was Samaria, who lived with her daughters to your north; and your younger sister was Sodom, who lived with her daughters to your south.

47 Malgre sa, ou pa t sèlman mache nan chemen yo, oswa aji selon abominasyon yo; men konsi sa te twò piti, avan lontan, ou te aji pi konwonpi nan kondwit ou ke yo menm.

And you not only walked in their ways and practiced their abominations, but soon you were more depraved than they were.

48 Kon Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Sodome, sè ou a, ak fi li yo pa t fè menm jan ak ou ak fi ou yo.

As surely as I live, declares the Lord GOD, your sister Sodom and her daughters never did as you and your daughters have done.

49 “‘“Gade byen, sa se te koupabilite a sè ou a, Sodome: li menm ak fi li yo te gen awogans, anpil manje ak lavi alèz, men li pa t ede endijan ak malere yo.

Now this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughters were arrogant, overfed, and complacent; they did not help the poor and needy.

50 Konsa, yo te plen ògèy e te komèt abominasyon devan M. Pou sa, Mwen te retire yo lè M te wè sa.

Thus they were haughty and committed abominations before Me. Therefore I removed them, as you have seen.

51 Anplis, Samarie pa t komèt mwatye nan peche ou yo, paske ou te ogmante abominasyon ou yo plis pase yo. Konsa, ou te fè sè ou a parèt dwat akoz tout abominasyon ke ou te komèt yo.

Furthermore, Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have multiplied your abominations beyond theirs, and all the abominations you have committed have made your sisters appear righteous.

52 Anplis, sipòte wont ou paske ou te fè jijman an vin favorab pou sè ou yo. Akoz peche nan sila ou te aji pi mal ke yo menm yo, yo vin pi dwat pase ou. Wi, anplis vin twouble nèt e sipòte wont ou an, akoz ou te fè sè ou yo parèt dwat.

So now you must bear your disgrace, since you have brought justification for your sisters. For they appear more righteous than you, because your sins were more vile than theirs. So you too must bear your shame and disgrace, since you have made your sisters appear righteous.

53 “‘“Malgre sa, Mwen va restore kaptivite yo, kaptivite Sodome ak fi li yo, kaptivite Samarie ak fi li yo, e ansanm avèk yo, kaptivite pa w,

But I will restore Sodom and her daughters from captivity, as well as Samaria and her daughters. And I will restore you along with them.

54 pou ou ka pote imilyasyon ou e sanse ou vin wont pou tout sa ou te fè lè ou te devni yon konsolasyon pou yo.

So you will bear your disgrace and be ashamed of all you did to comfort them.

55 Sè ou yo, Sodome ak fi li yo, e Samarie ak fi li yo, va retounen nan eta yo te ye a, e ou menm avèk fi ou yo va, anplis, retounen nan eta nou te ye a.

And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to their former state. You and your daughters will also return to your former state.

56 Paske non a sè ou a, Sodome, pa t tande nan lèv ou nan jou ògèy ou a,

Did you not treat your sister Sodom as an object of scorn in the day of your pride,

57 avan mechanste ou te dekouvri a. Paske koulye a, ou devni repwòch a fi Syrie yo, e a tout sila ki antoure li yo, a fi a Filisten yo, sila ki antoure ou ki meprize ou yo.

before your wickedness was uncovered? Even so, you are now scorned by the daughters of Edom and all those around her, and by the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you.

58 Ou te pote pinisyon zak lèd ou te fè, ak tout abominasyon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.

You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your abominations, declares the LORD.

59 “‘Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va, anplis, fè avèk ou jan ou te fè a, ou menm ki te meprize sèman an, e ki te kraze akò a.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: I will deal with you according to your deeds, since you have despised the oath by breaking the covenant.

60 Malgre sa, Mwen va sonje akò Mwen an avèk ou nan jou jenès ou yo, e Mwen va etabli yon akò k ap dire pou tout tan avèk ou.

But I will remember the covenant I made with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish an everlasting covenant with you.

61 Epi ou va sonje chemen ou yo, e ou va vin wont lè ou resevwa sè ou yo, ni pi gran, ni pi piti. Mwen va bay ou yo kon fi pa w, men pa selon akò ou a.

Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed when you receive your older and younger sisters. I will give them to you as daughters, but not because of My covenant with you.

62 Konsa, Mwen va etabli akò Mwen an avèk ou e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a,

So I will establish My covenant with you, and you will know that I am the LORD,

63 pou ou ka sonje, vin wont, e pa janm ouvri bouch ou ankò akoz imilyasyon ou, pou lè M te padone ou pou tout sa ou te fè yo,” Senyè, BONDYE a deklare.’”

so that when I make atonement for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed and never again open your mouth because of your disgrace, declares the Lord GOD.”
