Ezekyèl 16
1 Ankò, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Again the word of YHWH came to me, saying,
2 “Fis a lòm, fè Jérusalem konnen abominasyon li yo.
"Son of man, cause Jerusalem to know 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 say, 'Thus says YHWH to Jerusalem: Your birth and your birth is of the land of the Canaanite; the Amorite was your father, and your mother was a Hethite.
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.
As for your birth, in the day you were born your navel was not cut, neither were you washed in water to cleanse you; you weren't salted at all, nor swaddled at all.
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 eye pitied you, to do any of these things to you, to have compassion on you; but you were cast out in the open field, for that your person was abhorred, in the day that you were born.
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’!
"'And I passed by you and saw you wallowing in your blood, and I said to you in your blood: '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 caused you to multiply as that which grows in the field, and you increased and grew great, and you attained to excellent ornament; your breasts were fashioned, and your hair was grown; yet 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.
"'Now when I passed by you, and looked at you, look, your time was the time of love; and I spread my skirt over you, and covered your nakedness: yes, I swore to you, and entered into a covenant with you,' says YHWH, 'and you became mine.
9 “‘“Mwen te benyen ou ak dlo, lave fè san sòti sou ou e Mwen te onksyone ou avèk lwil.
"'Then I washed you with water; yes, I thoroughly washed away your blood from you, and I 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 also with embroidered work, and shod you with sealskin, and I dressed you about with 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 decked you with ornaments, and I put bracelets on your hands, and a chain on 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 on your nose, and earrings in your ears, and a beautiful crown on 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.
Thus you were decked with gold and silver; and your clothing was of fine linen, and silk, and embroidered work; you ate fine flour, and honey, and oil; and you were exceeding beautiful, and you prospered to royal estate.
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 renown went forth among the nations for your beauty; for it was perfect, through my majesty which I had put on you,' says YHWH.
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 you trusted in your beauty, and played the prostitute because of your renown, and poured out your prostitution on everyone who passed by; his it was.
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 of your garments, and made for yourselves high places decked with various colors, and played the prostitute on them: the like things shall not come, neither shall it be so.
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 your beautiful jewels of my gold and of my silver, which I had given you, and made for yourself images of men, and played the prostitute with them;
18 Epi ou te pran twal bwodri ou a pou te kouvri yo, e te ofri lwil ak lansan Mwen an devan yo.
and you took your embroidered garments, and covered them, and set my oil and my 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.
My bread also which I gave you, fine flour, and oil, and honey, with which I fed you, you even set it before them for a pleasant aroma; and thus it was,' says YHWH.
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?
"'Moreover you have taken your sons and your daughters, whom you have borne to me, and you have sacrificed these to them to be devoured. Was your prostitution a small matter,
21 Ou te fè labatwa ak pitit Mwen yo, e te ofri yo bay zidòl, lè ou koze yo pase nan dife.
that you have slain my children, and delivered them up, in causing them to pass through the fire to them?
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.
In all your abominations and your prostitution you have not remembered the days of your youth, when you were naked and bare, and were wallowing in your blood.
23 “‘Konsa, li te vin rive apre tout mechanste ou yo—Malè, malè a ou menm!’, deklare Senyè BONDYE —
"'It has happened after all your wickedness, ("Woe, woe to you." says YHWH),
24 “Ke ou te bati pou kont ou yon lotèl, e te fè yon wo plas tout kote.
that you have built for yourselves a vaulted place, and have made yourselves a lofty place in every street.
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.
You have built your lofty place at the head of every way, and have made your beauty an abomination, and have opened your feet to everyone who passed by, and multiplied your prostitution.
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 have also committed sexual immorality with the Egyptians, your neighbors, great of flesh; and have multiplied your prostitution, 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.
See therefore, I have stretched out my hand over you, and have diminished your ordinary food, and delivered you to the will of those who hate you, the daughters of the Philistines, who are ashamed of your lewd way.
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.
You have played the prostitute also with the Assyrians, because you were insatiable; yes, you have played the prostitute with them, and yet you weren't satisfied.
29 Anplis, ou te ogmante pwostitisyon ou an ak peyi komèsan yo, Chaldée. Menm malgre sa, ou pa t satisfè.
You have moreover multiplied your prostitution to the land of merchants, to Chaldea; and yet you weren't satisfied with this.
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 is your heart, says YHWH, since you do all these things, the work of an impudent 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.
in that you build your vaulted place at the head of every way, and make your lofty place in every street, and have not been as a prostitute, in that you scorn pay.
32 “‘“Ou menm, fanm adiltè, ki pran etranje olye de mari li!
"'A wife who commits adultery, who takes strangers instead of her 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.
They give gifts to all prostitutes; but you give your gifts to all your lovers, and bribe them, that they may come to you on every side for your prostitution.
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.”’
You are different from other women in your prostitution, in that no one follows you to play the prostitute; and whereas you give hire, and no hire is given to you, therefore you are different.'
35 “Pou sa, O pwostitiye, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
"Therefore, prostitute, hear the word of YHWH:
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,
Thus says YHWH, 'Because your filthiness was poured out, and your nakedness uncovered through your prostitution with your lovers; and because of all the idols of your abominations, and for the blood of your children, that 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 see, I will gather all your lovers, with whom you have taken pleasure, and all those who you have loved, with all those who you have hated; I will even gather them against you on every side, and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness.
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.
I will judge you, as women who break wedlock and shed blood are judged; and I will bring on you the blood of wrath 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.
I will also give you into their hand, and they shall throw down your vaulted place, and break down your lofty places; and they shall strip you of your clothes, and take your beautiful jewels; and they shall 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 shall also bring up a company against you, and they shall stone you with stones, and thrust you through 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.
They shall burn your houses with fire, and execute judgments on you in the sight of many women; and I will cause you to cease from playing the prostitute, and you shall also give no hire any more.
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 will I cause my wrath toward you to rest, and my jealousy shall depart from you, and I will be quiet, and will be no more 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 have not remembered the days of your youth, but have raged against me in all these things; therefore, look, I also will bring your way on your head,' says YHWH: 'and you shall not commit this lewdness with all your 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.’
"'Look, everyone who uses proverbs shall use this proverb against you, saying, "As is the mother, so is her 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 loathes her husband and her children; and you are the sister of your sisters, who loathed their husbands and their children: your mother was a Hethite, 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 elder sister is Samaria, who dwells at your left hand, she and her daughters; and your younger sister, who dwells at your right hand, is Sodom and her daughters.
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.
Yet have you not walked in their ways, nor done after their abominations; but, as if that were a very little thing, you were more corrupt than they in all your ways.
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 I live,' says YHWH, 'Sodom your sister has not done, she nor her daughters, as you have done, you and your daughters.
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.
"'Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: pride, fullness of bread, and prosperous ease was in her and in her daughters; neither did she strengthen the hand of 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.
They were haughty, and committed abomination before me. So I took them away, 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.
Neither has Samaria committed half of your sins; but you have multiplied your abominations more than they, and have justified your sisters by all your abominations which you have done.
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.
You also, bear you your own shame, in that you have given judgment for your sisters; through your sins that you have committed more abominable than they, they are more righteous that you: yes, be also confounded, and bear your shame, in that you have justified your sisters.
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,
"'I will turn again their captivity, the captivity of Sodom and her daughters, and the captivity of Samaria and her daughters, and the captivity of your captives in their midst;
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.
that you may bear your own shame, and may be ashamed because of all that you have done, in that you are a comfort to 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.
Your sisters, Sodom and her daughters, shall return to their former estate; and Samaria and her daughters shall return to their former estate; and you and your daughters shall return to your former estate.
56 Paske non a sè ou a, Sodome, pa t tande nan lèv ou nan jou ògèy ou a,
For your sister Sodom was not mentioned by your mouth 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, as at the time of the reproach of the daughters of Aram, and of all who are around her, the daughters of the Philistines, who do despite to you all around.
58 Ou te pote pinisyon zak lèd ou te fè, ak tout abominasyon yo,” deklare SENYÈ a.
You have borne your lewdness and your abominations, says YHWH.'
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 thus says YHWH: 'I will also deal with you as you have done, who have despised the oath in 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.
Nevertheless I will remember my covenant with you in the days of your youth, and I will establish to you an everlasting covenant.
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 shall remember your ways, and be ashamed, when you receive your older and your younger sisters; and I will give them to you as daughters, but not by your covenant.
62 Konsa, Mwen va etabli akò Mwen an avèk ou e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a,
I will establish my covenant with you; and you shall know that I am YHWH;
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.’”
that you may remember, and be confounded, and never open your mouth any more, because of your shame, when I have forgiven you all that you have done, says YHWH.'"
