Ezekyèl 22
1 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, èske ou va jije? Èske ou jije vil sanglan an? Alò, fè l konnen tout abominasyon li yo.
And thou son of man, dost thou not judge, dost thou not judge the city of blood?
3 Ou va di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Yon vil k ap vèsè san nan mitan li, pou tan pa li ka vini e ki fè zidòl kont enterè li, pou l ka vin souye!
And thou shalt shew her all her abominations, and shalt say: Thus saith the Lord God: This is the city that sheddeth blood in the midst of her, that her time may come: and that hath made idols against herself, to defile herself.
4 Ou te vin koupab pa san ke ou te vèse yo e vin souye pa zidòl ke ou te fè yo. Konsa, ou te mennen jou ou a vin pre, e ou fin rive nan ane ou yo. Akoz sa a, Mwen te fè ou vin yon repwòch pou nasyon yo, e yon vye rizib pou tout peyi yo.
Thou art become guilty in thy blood which thou hast shed: and thou art defiled in thy idols which thou hast made: and thou hast made thy days to draw near, and hast brought on the time of thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all countries.
5 Sila ki pre ak sila ki lwen ou yo va moke ou, ou menm ak move repitasyon, plen twoub.
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall triumph over thee: thou filthy one, infamous, great in destruction.
6 “‘“Gade byen, chèf Israël yo, yo chak selon fòs pouvwa yo, te nan ou ak bi pou vèse san an.
Behold the princes of Israel, every one hath employed his arm in thee to shed blood.
7 Nan ou yo te trete papa ak manman a lejè. Etranje yo te oprime nan mitan ou. Òfelen ak vèv yo te maltrete nan ou.
They have abused father and mother in thee, they have oppressed the stranger in the midst of thee, they have grieved the fatherless and widow in thee.
8 Ou te meprize bagay sen Mwen yo, e ou pwofane Saba Mwen yo.
Thou hast despised my sanctuaries, and profaned my sabbaths.
9 Mesye medizan yo te anndan ou nan bi pou yo ta ka vèse san. Nan ou, yo te manje sou lotèl mòn yo. Nan mitan ou, yo te komèt zak ki tèlman lèd.
Slanderers have been in thee to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains in thee, they have committed wickedness in the midst of thee.
10 Nan ou, yo te dekouvri nidite a papa yo. Nan ou, yo te imilye fanm ki pa t pwòp akoz règ yo.
They have discovered the nakedness of their father in thee, they have humbled the uncleanness of the menstruous woman in thee.
11 Youn te komèt abominasyon ak madanm a vwazen li, e yon lòt, nan yon zak byen lèd, te souye bèlfi li. Epi yon lòt, nan ou, te imilye sè li, pitit a papa li.
And every one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife, and the father in law hath wickedly defiled his daughter in law, the brother hath oppressed his sister the daughter of his father in thee.
12 Nan ou, yo te touche anba tab pou yo ta vèse san. Ou te pran enterè ak pwofi, ou te fè donmaj a vwazen ou yo pou ou kab vin genyen pa opresyon, e ou te bliye Mwen,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
They have taken gifts in thee to shed blood: thou hast taken usury and increase, and hast covetously oppressed thy neighbours: and then hast forgotten me, saith the Lord God.
13 “‘“Alò, gade byen, Mwen frape men M kont pwofi malonèt ou, ke ou te vin genyen nan vèse san moun pami ou.
Behold, I have clapped my hands at thy covetousness, which thou hast exercised and at the blood that hath been shed: In the midst of thee.
14 Èske kè ou kapab sipòte, oswa èske men ou kapab gen fòs nan jou ke Mwen va regle ou a? Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te pale e Mwen va aji.
Shall thy heart endure, or shall thy hands prevail ill the days which I will bring upon thee: I the Lord have spoken, and will do it.
15 Mwen va gaye ou pami nasyon yo, Mwen va dispèse ou nan tout peyi yo, e Mwen va fè disparèt sa ki pa pwòp pami ou.
And I will disperse thee in the nations, and will scatter thee among the countries, and I will put an end to thy uncleanness in thee.
16 Ou va pwofane tèt ou devan zye a tout nasyon yo, e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
And I will possess thee in the sight of the Gentiles, and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
17 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 “Fis a lòm, lakay Israël la te vin dechè pou Mwen. Yo tout se bwonz, fè blan, fè ak plon nan fou. Yo se dechè ajan.
Son of man, the house of Israel is become dress to me: all these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace: they are become the dress of silver.
19 Pou sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz nou tout te vin dechè, pou sa, gade byen, Mwen pral rasanble nou nan mitan Jérusalem.
Therefore thus saith the Lord God: Because you are all turned into dress, therefore behold I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem.
20 Jan yo rasanble ajan, bwonz, fè, plon, ak fè blan nan fou pou soufle dife sou li pou fann li, konsa, Mwen va rasanble nou nan mekontantman Mwen ak nan chalè kòlè Mwen, e la, Mwen va depoze nou pou fann nou.
As they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace: that I may kindle a fire in it to melt it: so will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and will take my rest, and I will melt you down.
21 Mwen va rasanble nou pou soufle sou nou avèk dife kòlè Mwen, e nou va vin fann nèt nan mitan li.
And I will gather you together, and will burn you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
22 Tankou ajan fann nan founo, se konsa nou va fann nan mitan li. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou nou.’”
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so shall you be in the midst thereof: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I have poured out my indignation upon you.
23 Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
24 “Fis a lòm, di a fi a: ‘Ou se peyi ki pa pwòp la, ki p ap gen lapli nan jou kòlè a.’
Son of man, say to her: Thou art a land that is unclean, and not rained upon in the day of wrath.
25 Gen konplo a pwofèt nan mitan li yo, kon yon lyon voras k ap dechire bèt pou li manje. Yo fin devore nanm moun. Yo te pran trezò presye ak tout bagay chè yo. Yo te fè anpil vèv nan mitan li.
There is a conspiracy of prophets in the midst thereof: like a lion that roareth and catcheth the prey, they have devoured souls, they have taken riches and hire, they have made many widows in the midst thereof.
26 Prèt li yo te fè vyolans kont lalwa Mwen an, e te pwofane bagay sen Mwen yo. Yo pa t fè okenn separasyon antre sa ki sen ak sa ki pwofàn, ni yo pa t ansegne distenksyon antre sa ki pa pwòp ak sa ki pwòp. Yo kache zye yo devan Saba Mwen yo, e Mwen vin pwofane pami yo.
Her priests have despised my law, and have defiled my sanctuaries: they have put no difference between holy and profane: nor have distinguished between the polluted and the clean: and they have turned away their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of them.
27 Prens ki anndan li yo tankou lou k ap dechire bèt pou yo manje, k ap vèse san e detwi lavi pou fè benefis malonèt.
Her princes in the midst of her, are like wolves ravening the prey to shed blood, and to destroy souls, and to run after gains through covetousness.
28 Pwofèt li yo blanchi tout bagay ak lacho pou yo, nan fè fo vizyon ak divinasyon manti pou yo; divinasyon k ap di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a’, lè SENYÈ a pa t pale.
And her prophets have daubed them without tempering the mortar, seeing vain things, and divining lies unto them, saying: Thus saith the Lord God: when the Lord hath not spoken.
29 Pèp peyi a te pratike opresyon ak vòl, yo te vòlè malere ak endijan yo, e te oprime sila ki rete pami yo san jistis.
The people of the land have used oppression, and committed robbery: they afflicted the needy and poor, and they oppressed the stranger by calumny without judgment.
30 “Mwen te chache pami yo yon nonm ki pou ta bati miray la, e kanpe nan brèch la devan Mwen pou peyi a, pou M pa ta detwi li, men Mwen pa t jwenn pèsòn.
And I sought among them for a man that might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me in favour of the land, that I might not destroy it: and I found none.
31 Pou sa, Mwen fin vide chalè a kòlè Mwen sou yo. Mwen te konsonmen yo nèt ak dife a chalè kòlè Mwen. Chemen pa yo, Mwen te fè l desann sou tèt yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
And I poured out my indignation upon them, in the fire of my wrath I consumed them: I have rendered their way upon their own head, saith the Lord God.
