Ezekyèl 20

1 Alò, nan setyèm ane, nan senkyèm mwa a, nan dizyèm jou nan mwa a, kèk nan ansyen Israël yo te vin mande SENYÈ a konsèy. Yo te chita devan m.

And it was - in the year seventh in the fifth [month] on the ten of the month they came men from [the] elders of Israel to consult Yahweh and they sat down before me.

2 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

3 “Fis a lòm, pale ak ansyen Israël yo pou di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Èske nou vini la pou mande M konsèy? Jan Mwen viv la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Nou p ap vin mande M konsèy.’”

O son of humankind speak with [the] elders of Israel and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ to consult me [are] you coming [by] [the] life of me if I will let myself be consulted by you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

4 “Èske ou va jije yo, fis a lòm? Èske ou va jije yo? Fè yo konnen abominasyon a papa yo.

¿ Will you judge them ¿ will you judge O son of humankind [the] abominations of ancestors their make known to them.

5 Di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan jou ke M te chwazi Israël la, e te sèmante a desandan a lakay Jacob yo, pou te revele Mwen menm a yo menm nan peyi Égypte la, lè M te sèmante a yo menm, e te di: ‘Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an,’

And you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh on [the] day chose I Israel and I lifted up hand my to [the] offspring of [the] house of Jacob and I made myself known to them in [the] land of Egypt and I lifted up hand my to them saying I [am] Yahweh God your.

6 nan jou sa a, Mwen te sèmante a yo menm pou mennen fè yo sòti nan peyi Égypte, pou antre nan yon peyi ke M te chwazi pou yo, ki koule lèt avèk siwo myèl, ki se glwa a tout peyi yo.

On the day that I lifted up hand my to them to bring out them from [the] land of Egypt to a land which I had selected for them flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.

7 Mwen te di a yo menm: ‘Voye jete, nou chak, bagay abominab a zye nou yo, e pa souye tèt nou ak zidòl Égypte yo. Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an.’

And I said to them everyone [the] detestable things of eyes his throw away and by [the] idols of Egypt may not you make yourselves unclean I [am] Yahweh God your.

8 “‘“Men yo te fè rebèl kont Mwen, e yo pa t dakò koute Mwen. Yo pa t voye jete bagay abominab a zye yo, ni yo pa t abandone zidòl a Égypte yo. Konsa, Mwen te detèmine pou vide gwo chalè kòlè Mwen sou yo, pou akonpli kòlè Mwen sou yo nan mitan peyi Égypte la.

And they rebelled against me and not they were willing to listen to me anyone [the] detestable things of eyes their not they threw away and [the] idols of Egypt not they forsook and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in [the] midst of [the] land of Egypt.

9 Men Mwen te aji pou koz non Mwen, pou li pa ta vin degrade nan zye a nasyon pami sila yo te rete yo, nan zye a sila Mwen te fè Mwen menm rekonèt a yo, lè M te fè yo sòti nan peyi Égypte la.

And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which they [were] in midst of them which I had made myself known to them to eyes their by bringing out them from [the] land of Egypt.

10 Konsa, Mwen te retire yo nan peyi Égypte pou te mennen yo nan dezè a.

And I brought out them from [the] land of Egypt and I brought them into the wilderness.

11 Mwen te bay yo lalwa Mwen yo, e te fè yo rekonèt règleman Mwen yo, pa sila, si yon nonm swiv yo, li va viv nan yo.

And I gave to them statutes my and judgments my I made known to them which he will do them the person and he will live by them.

12 Anplis, Mwen te bay yo Saba Mwen yo pou vin yon sign antre Mwen menm ak yo, pou yo ta ka konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ ki sanktifye yo a.

And also sabbaths my I gave to them to become a sign between me and between them to know that I [am] Yahweh [who] sanctified them.

13 “‘“Men lakay Israël te fè rebèl kont Mwen, nan dezè a. Yo pa t mache nan lalwa Mwen yo, e yo te refize règleman Mwen yo, pa sila, si yon nonm swiv yo, li va viv nan yo. Epi Saba Mwen yo, yo te vin pwofane nèt. Konsa, Mwen te pran desizyon pou vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou yo nan dezè a, pou manje yo nèt.

And they rebelled against me [the] house of Israel in the wilderness in statutes my not they walked and judgments my they rejected which he will do them the person and he will live by them and sabbaths my they profaned exceedingly and I said to pour out rage my on them in the wilderness to make an end of them.

14 Men Mwen te aji pou koz non Mwen, pou li pa ta degrade nan zye a nasyon yo, devan zye a sila Mwen te fè yo sòti yo.

And I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I had brought out them to eyes their.

15 Anplis, Mwen te sèmante a yo nan dezè a pou Mwen pa ta mennen yo antre nan peyi ke M te bay a, yo menm nan, peyi ki t ap koule ak siwo myèl, ki se glwa a tout peyi yo,

And also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to not to bring them into the land which I had given flowing of milk and honey [is] beauty it to all the lands.

16 akoz yo te rejte règleman Mwen yo e pou lalwa Mwen yo, yo pa t mache ladan yo. Menm Saba Mwen yo, yo te pwofane yo, paske kè yo te tout tan ap mache dèyè zidòl yo.

Because judgments my they had rejected and statutes my not they had walked in them and sabbaths my they had profaned for after idols their heart their [was] walking.

17 Malgre sa, zye M te epanye yo olye de detwi yo e Mwen pa t detwi yo nèt nan dezè a.

And it looked with compassion eye my on them from destroying them and not I made them complete destruction in the wilderness.

18 Mwen te di a pitit yo nan dezè a: ‘Pa mache nan règleman a papa nou yo, ni swiv règleman yo oswa souye tèt nou ak zidòl yo.

And I said to children their in the wilderness in [the] statutes of ancestors your may not you walk and judgments their may not you keep and by idols their may not you make yourselves unclean.

19 Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye nou an. Mache nan règleman Mwen yo e swiv òdonans Mwen yo pou fè yo.

I [am] Yahweh God your in statutes my walk and judgments my keep and do them.

20 Sanktifye Saba Mwen yo. Konsa, yo va vin yon sign antre Mwen menm ak nou, pou nou ka konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ Bondye nou an.’

And sabbaths my keep holy and they will become a sign between me and between you to know that I [am] Yahweh God your.

21 “‘“Men pitit yo te fè rebèl kont Mwen. Yo pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo, ni yo pa t fè atansyon pou swiv òdonans Mwen yo, pa sila, si yon nonm swiv yo, li va viv la. Yo te pwofane Saba Mwen yo. Konsa, mwen te pran desizyon pou vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou yo, pou akonpli kòlè Mwen kont yo nan dezè a.

And they rebelled against me the children in statutes my not they walked and judgments my not they kept to observe them which he will do them the person and he will live by them sabbaths my they profaned and I said to pour out rage my on them to complete anger my on them in the wilderness.

22 Men Mwen te ralanti men M. Konsa, Mwen te aji pou koz non Mwen, pou li pa ta vin degrade devan zye a nasyon yo devan zye sila Mwen te fè yo sòti yo.

And I turned back hand my and I acted for [the] sake of name my to not to be profaned to [the] eyes of the nations which I brought out them to eyes their.

23 Anplis, Mwen te sèmante a yo menm nan dezè a pou Mwen ta gaye yo pami nasyon yo, e dispèse yo nan tout peyi yo,

Also I I lifted up hand my to them in the wilderness to scatter them among the nations and to disperse them among the lands.

24 akoz yo pa t swiv òdonans Mwen yo, men te refize tout règleman Mwen yo, te pwofane Saba Mwen yo, e zye yo te sou zidòl a papa zansèt yo.

Because judgments my not they had done and statutes my they had rejected and sabbaths my they had profaned and after [the] idols of parents their they had been eyes their.

25 Mwen te bay yo anplis, règleman ki pa t bon ak òdonans yo sou sila yo pa t ka viv.

And also I I gave to them statutes not good and judgments [which] not they will live by them.

26 Mwen te deklare yo pa pwòp akoz de sakrifis yo. Yo te koze tout premye ne yo pase nan dife, pou Mwen ta fè yo vin sanzespwa; konsa, pou yo ta konnen ke se Mwen menm ki SENYÈ a.”’

And I made unclean them by gifts their when made pass through every firstborn of a womb so that I may make appalled them so that this they may know that I [am] Yahweh.

27 “Pou sa, fis a lòm, pale ak lakay Israël pou di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malgre nan sa, papa zansèt nou yo te blasfeme Mwen lè yo te enfidel a lalwa M.

Therefore speak to [the] house of Israel O son of humankind and you will say to them thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh again this they blasphemed me ancestors your when acted unfaithfully they against me unfaithfulness.

28 Lè Mwen te mennen yo nan peyi ke M te sèmante pou bay yo a, yo te vin wè tout kolin wo ak tout bwa ki plen fèy yo. La, yo te ofri sakrifis yo, e la, yo te prezante ofrann ki te fè M fache nèt. La, yo te fè monte odè santi bon, e la, yo te vide ofrann bwason yo.

And I brought them into the land which I had lifted up hand my to give it to them and they saw every hill high and every tree leafy and they sacrificed there sacrifices their and they presented there [the] provocation of offering their and they made there [the] odor of soothing their and they poured out there drink offerings their.

29 Konsa, Mwen te di yo: ‘Kisa wo plas kote nou prale a ye?’ Pou sa, yo rele non plas sa a “Bama “jis rive jou sa a.”’

And I said to them what? [is] the high place where you [are] the [ones who] go there and it has been called name its Bamah until the day this.

30 “Akoz sa, pale ak lakay Israël: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Èske nou va souye tèt nou menm, swiv abitid papa zansèt nou yo e jwe pwostitiye apre bagay abominab yo?

Therefore say - to [the] house of Israel thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh ¿ in [the] way? of ancestors your [are] you making yourselves unclean and after detestable things their [are] you? acting as prostitutes.

31 Lè nou ofri ofrann nou yo, lè nou fè fis nou yo pase nan dife, nou ap souye tèt nou ak tout zidòl yo jis rive nan jou sa a. Epi èske nou ta dwe vin mande Mwen konsèy, O lakay Israël? Jan Mwen viv la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a, Mwen p ap kite nou mande M anyen.

And when lift up gifts your when make pass children your in the fire you [are] making yourselves unclean to all idols your until this day and I will I let myself be consulted? by you O house of Israel [by] [the] life of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if I will let myself be consulted by you.

32 “‘“Sa ki vini nan lespri nou an, se pa sa k ap rive vrè, lè nou di: ‘Nou va tankou lòt nasyon yo, tankou fanmi a peyi yo, k ap sèvi bwa ak wòch yo.’

And the [thing which] comes up on spirit your certainly not it will happen [that] which - you [are] saying we will be like the nations like [the] clans of the lands to serve wood and stone.

33 Jan Mwen viv la”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Anverite, ak yon men pwisan, ak yon bra lonje e avèk chalè a kòlè Mwen vide deyò, Mwen va vin wa sou nou.

[by] [the] life Of me [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh if not by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out I will reign over you.

34 Mwen va mennen nou soti nan tout pèp yo, rasanble nou soti nan peyi kote nou gaye yo, ak yon men pwisan, ak yon bra lonje e ak chalè kòlè Mwen vide nèt.

And I will bring out you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them by a hand strong and by an arm outstretched and with rage poured out.

35 Epi Mwen va mennen nou antre nan dezè a pèp yo, e la Mwen va antre nan jijman avèk nou fasafas.

And I will bring you into [the] wilderness of the peoples and I will enter into judgment with you there face to face.

36 Jan Mwen te antre nan jijman ak papa zansèt nou yo nan dezè an Égypte la, konsa Mwen va antre nan jijman avèk nou”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

Just as I entered into judgment with ancestors your in [the] wilderness of [the] land of Egypt so I will enter into judgment with you [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

37 “Mwen va fè nou pase anba baton, e Mwen va mennen nou antre anba angajman akò a.

And I will make pass you under the rod and I will bring you in [the] bond of the covenant.

38 Mwen va fè retire pami nou, rebèl ak sila ki transgrese kont Mwen yo. Mwen va mennen yo sòti nan peyi kote yo demere a, men yo p ap antre nan peyi Israël. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”

And I will purge from you those [who] rebel and those [who] transgress against me from [the] land of sojournings their I will bring out them and into [the] land of Israel not he will go and you will know that I [am] Yahweh.

39 “Pou nou menm, O lakay Israël,” deklare Senyè Bondye a: “Ale, nou chak sèvi zidòl pa nou; menm pi ta tou, si nou p ap koute M. Men nou p ap pwofane non sen M ankò ak ofrann ak zidòl nou yo.

And you O house of Israel thus he says - [the] Lord Yahweh everyone idols his go serve and after if not you [will be] listening to me and [the] name of holiness my not you will profane again by gifts your and by idols your.

40 Paske sou mòn sen Mwen an, sou wotè mòn Israël la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “la, tout lakay Israël, yo tout, va sèvi Mwen nan peyi a. La Mwen va aksepte yo, e la, Mwen va egzije ofrann nou yo, avèk ofrann premyè fwi nou yo, ak tout bagay sen nou yo.

For on [the] mountain of holiness my on [the] mountain of - [the] height of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh there they will serve me all [the] house of Israel all of it in the land there I will accept them and there I will seek contributions your and [the] choicest of gifts your with all holy things your.

41 Kon yon odè santi bon, Mwen va aksepte nou lè Mwen mennen nou sòti nan pèp yo, e rasanble nou soti nan peyi kote nou te gaye yo. Epi Mwen va vin sen nan nou devan zye a tout nasyon yo.

An odor of soothing I will accept you when bring out I you from the peoples and I will gather you from the lands which you have been scattered among them and I will show myself holy among you to [the] eyes of the nations.

42 Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè mwen mennen nou fè nou antre nan peyi Israël la, nan peyi ke M te sèmante pou bay a papa zansèt nou yo.

And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when bring I you into [the] land of Israel into the land which I lifted up hand my to give it to ancestors your.

43 La, nou va sonje chemen nou yo ak tout zèv yo avèk sila nou te souye tèt nou yo. Epi nou va rayi pwòp tèt nou nan pwòp zye nou pou tout bagay mal ke nou te fè yo.

And you will remember there ways your and all practices your which you have made yourselves unclean by them and you will loathe faces your for all wicked deeds your which you have done.

44 Konsa, nou va konnen ke se Mwen ki SENYÈ a, lè Mwen fin regle avèk nou pou koz non Mwen, pa selon chemen mechan nou yo, ni selon zak konwonpi nou yo, O lakay Israël,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”

And you will know that I [am] Yahweh when do I with you for [the] sake of name my not according to ways your wicked and according to practices your corrupt O house of Israel [the] utterance of [the] Lord Yahweh.

45 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:

And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.

46 “Fis a lòm, mete figi ou vè Théman. Pale fò kont tout sid la, e pwofetize kont peyi forè nan Negev la.

O son of humankind set face your [the] direction south-ward and prophesy against [the] south and prophesy against [the] forest of the field [the] south.

47 Di a forè Negev la: ‘Koute pawòl SENYÈ a. Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou limen yon dife nan nou, e li va konsonmen tout bwa vèt nan nou menm ak tout bwa sèch. Flanm dife sa a p ap etenn e tout sifas latè soti nan sid jis rive nan nò va brile pa li menm.

And you will say to [the] forest of the south hear [the] word of Yahweh thus he says [the] Lord Yahweh here I [am] about to kindle in you - a fire and it will consume in you every tree moist and every tree dry not it will be extinguished [the] flame of flame and they will be scorched by it all faces from [the] south [the] north towards.

48 Tout chè va wè ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te limen li. Li p ap etenn.”’”

And they will see all flesh that I Yahweh I have kindled it not it will be extinguished.

49 Epi mwen te di: “O Senyè BONDYE! Y ap di de mwen: ‘Èske se pa parabòl sèlman l ap pale?’”

And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh they [are] saying of me ¿ not making a parable parables [is] he.
