Ezekyèl 2
1 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, kanpe sou pye ou pou m ka pale avèk ou!”
This was the vision of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And I saw, and I fell upon my face, and I heard the voice of one that spoke. And he said to me: Son of man, stand upon thy feet, and I will speak to thee.
2 Pandan Li t ap pale ak mwen an, Lespri a te antre nan mwen. Li te mete mwen sou pye mwen, epi mwen te tande Li pale ak mwen.
And the spirit entered into me after that he spoke to me, and he set me upon my feet: and I heard him speaking to me,
3 Li te di m: “Fis a lòm, Mwen ap voye ou kote fis Israël yo, a yon pèp rebèl ki te fè rebèl kont Mwen. Yo menm ak papa zansèt yo te transgrese kont Mwen jis rive jodi a.
And saying: Son of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious people, that hath revolted from me, they, and their fathers, have transgressed my covenant even unto this day.
4 M ap voye ou kote sila yo ki angran, ki gen tèt di. Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a.’
And they to whom I send thee are children of a hard face, and of an obstinate heart: and thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord God:
5 Pou yo menm, menm si yo koute oswa pa koute—paske se kay rebèl ke yo ye—yo va konnen ke yon pwofèt te pami yo.
If so be they at least will hear, and if so be they will forbear, for they are a provoking house: and they shall know that there hath been a prophet in the midst of them.
6 Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, pa krent yo ni krent pawòl yo, malgre pikan ak zepin avèk ou, e malgre ou chita pami eskòpyon yo. Ni pa krent pawòl yo, ni twouble nan prezans yo, paske se yon kay rebèl ke yo ye.
And thou, O son of man, fear not, neither be thou afraid of their words: for thou art among unbelievers and destroyers, and thou dwellest with scorpions. Fear not their words, neither be thou dismayed at their looks: for they are a provoking house.
7 Men ou va pale pawòl Mwen yo avèk yo, menm si yo koute oswa yo pa koute, paske se rebèl yo ye.
And thou shalt speak my words to them, if perhaps they will hear, and forbear: for they provoke me to anger.
8 Alò, ou menm, fis a lòm, koute sa ke M ap pale ou a. Pa vin fè rebèl tankou kay rebèl sila a. Ouvri bouch ou pou manje sa ke M ap bay ou a.”
But thou, O son of man, hear all that I say to thee: and do not thou provoke me, as that house provoketh me: open thy mouth, and eat what I give thee.
9 Konsa, mwen te gade e gade byen, yon men te lonje vè mwen menm. Epi alò, yon woulo liv te ladann.
And I looked, and behold, a hand was sent to me, wherein was a book rolled up:
10 Lè L te louvri li devan mwen, li te ekri ni pa devan ni pa dèyè, e ekri sou li, se te lamantasyon, doulè ak mizè.
and he spread it before me, and it was written within and without: and there were written in it lamentations, and canticles, and woe.
