Ezekyèl 2
1 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, kanpe sou pye ou pou m ka pale avèk ou!”
“Stand up, son of man, because I want to talk to you,” he said to me.
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.
As he spoke to me, the Spirit entered me and had me stand up. I listened to 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.
“Son of man,” he told me, “I'm sending you to the people of Israel, a disobedient nation that has rebelled against me. They and their forefathers have continued to rebel against me, even up to today.
4 M ap voye ou kote sila yo ki angran, ki gen tèt di. Ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a.’
They are pig-headed; they are hard-hearted children. I am sending you to tell them that this is what the Lord God says.
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.
Whether they listen or not—for they are a rebellious people—they will realize that a prophet has come to 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.
Son of man, don't be afraid of them or what they say. You don't need to be afraid even though you're surrounded by brambles and thorns, even though you live among scorpions. Don't be afraid of what they say or be discouraged by the way they look at you, even though they are a rebellious family.
7 Men ou va pale pawòl Mwen yo avèk yo, menm si yo koute oswa yo pa koute, paske se rebèl yo ye.
Just tell them what I say, whether they listen or not, because they're rebels.
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.”
As for you, son of man, pay attention to what I tell you. Don't be rebellious like those rebellious people. Open your mouth and eat what I'm about to give you.”
9 Konsa, mwen te gade e gade byen, yon men te lonje vè mwen menm. Epi alò, yon woulo liv te ladann.
I looked up and saw a hand stretched out to me holding a scroll.
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.
He spread it out in front of me, and there written on both the front and back were words of grief, mourning, and tragedy.
