Ezekyèl 19
1 “Pou nou menm, komanse fè gwo lamantasyon pou prens Israël yo,
And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of Israel.
2 Epi di: ‘Kisa manman ou te ye? Yon manman lyon pami lyon yo! Li te kouche pami jenn ti lyon yo; pami jenn lyon yo, li te leve pitit li yo.
And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.
3 Lè l te fin leve youn nan pitit li yo, pitit la te devni yon lyon. Li te vin aprann jan pou li dechire bèt pou li manje; li te devore moun.
And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
4 Alò, nasyon yo te tande de li; li te vin kaptire nan twou fòs pa yo, e yo te mennen li ak kwòk, rive nan peyi Égypte.
And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.
5 “‘Lè manman lyon an te wè ke li te tann, men ke espwa li te vin pèdi, li te pran yon lòt nan pitit li yo, e te fè l vin yon jenn ti lyon.
And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.
6 Konsa, li te mache toupatou pami lyon yo. Li te devni yon jenn ti lyon. Li te aprann jan pou kenbe viktim li. Li te devore moun.
And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
7 Li te konnen gran palè yo, e li te devaste vil yo. Peyi a ak tout bèlte li te vin gate nèt, akoz son a gwonde li.
And it knew widows its and cities their it laid waste and it was desolate [the] land and what fills it from [the] sound of roaring its.
8 Nasyon yo te atake li tout kote soti nan pwovens yo. Yo te ouvri filè yo sou li. Li te vin kaptire nan twou fòs yo.
And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.
9 Yo te mete li nan yon kalòj ak kwòk, e te mennen li kote wa Babylone nan. Yo te mennen li andedan fò yo pou vwa l pa tande menm ankò sou mòn Israël yo.
And they put it in cage with hooks and they brought it to [the] king of Babylon they brought it in strongholds so that not it will be heard voice its again to [the] mountains of Israel.
10 “‘Manman ou te tankou yon lyann nan san ou an. Li te plante bò kote dlo. Li te plen fwi ak anpil branch, akoz dlo an abondans.
Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.
11 Li te gen branch ki dyanm, ki ta ka sèvi pou baton wa yo. Wotè li te leve pi wo nwaj yo pou moun ta ka wè l nan tout wotè li ak tout branch li yo.
And they belonged to it branches of strength to scepters of rulers and it was lofty stature its above between branches and it was seen by height its by [the] abundance of branches its.
12 Men li te vin rache ak kòlè. Li te jete atè nèt, epi van nan lès te seche fwi li yo. Gwo branch dyanm li yo te vin rache. Yo te fennen. Dife te manje yo nèt.
And it was plucked up in rage to the ground it was thrown down and [the] wind of the east it dried up fruit its they were torn off and they became dry [the] branch of strength its a fire it consumed it.
13 Epi koulye a, li vin plante nan dezè a, nan yon peyi ki sèch e ki swaf.
And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.
14 Dife a fin gaye nan tout branch li yo. Li te konsonmen boujon ak fwi li yo, jiskaske pa t gen ladann yon branch ki dyanm, pou fè baton pou wa a.’ Sa se yon lamantasyon. Konsa, li va sèvi kon yon lamantasyon.”
And it went out fire from [the] branch of shoots its fruit its it consumed and not it was in it a branch of strength a scepter to rule [is] a lamentation it and it has become a lamentation.
