Ezekyèl 22
1 Alò, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto 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.
Now, thou son of man, wilt thou judge, wilt thou judge the bloody city? yea, thou shalt shew her all her abominations.
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!
Then say thou, Thus saith the Lord GOD, The city sheddeth blood in the midst of it, that her time may come, and maketh 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 that thou hast shed; and hast defiled thyself in thine idols which thou hast made; and thou hast caused thy days to draw near, and art come [even] unto thy years: therefore have I made thee a reproach unto the heathen, and a mocking 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 be] near, and [those that be] far from thee, shall mock thee, [which art] infamous [and] much vexed.
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 were in thee to their power 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.
In thee have they set light by father and mother: in the midst of thee have they dealt by oppression with the stranger: in thee have they vexed the fatherless and the widow.
8 Ou te meprize bagay sen Mwen yo, e ou pwofane Saba Mwen yo.
Thou hast despised mine holy things, and hast 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.
In thee are men that carry tales to shed blood: and in thee they eat upon the mountains: in the midst of thee they commit lewdness.
10 Nan ou, yo te dekouvri nidite a papa yo. Nan ou, yo te imilye fanm ki pa t pwòp akoz règ yo.
In thee have they discovered their fathers’ nakedness: in thee have they humbled her that was set apart for pollution.
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 one hath committed abomination with his neighbour’s wife; and another hath lewdly defiled his daughter in law; and another in thee hath humbled his sister, his father’s daughter.
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.
In thee have they taken gifts to shed blood; thou hast taken usury and increase, and thou hast greedily gained of thy neighbours by extortion, and 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, therefore I have smitten mine hand at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at thy blood which hath been 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.
Can thine heart endure, or can thine hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I the LORD have spoken [it], 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 scatter thee among the heathen, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
16 Ou va pwofane tèt ou devan zye a tout nasyon yo, e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
And thou shalt take thine inheritance in thyself in the sight of the heathen, 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 unto 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 to me become dross: all they [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace; they are [even] the dross 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 ye are all become dross, behold, therefore I will gather you into 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 iron, and lead, and tin, into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt [it; ] so will I gather [you] in mine anger and in my fury, and I will leave [you there], and melt you.
21 Mwen va rasanble nou pou soufle sou nou avèk dife kòlè Mwen, e nou va vin fann nèt nan mitan li.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and ye 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 ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I the LORD have poured out my fury upon you.
23 Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the LORD came unto 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 unto her, Thou [art] the land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
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 her prophets in the midst thereof, like a roaring lion ravening the prey; they have devoured souls; they have taken the treasure and precious things; they have made her 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 violated my law, and have profaned mine holy things: they have put no difference between the holy and profane, neither have they shewed [difference] between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among 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 thereof [are] like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, [and] to destroy souls, to get dishonest gain.
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 with untempered [morter], seeing vanity, 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 exercised robbery, and have vexed the poor and needy: yea, they have oppressed the stranger wrongfully.
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 for a man among them, that should make up the hedge, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it: but 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.
Therefore have I poured out mine indignation upon them; I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath: their own way have I recompensed upon their heads, saith the Lord GOD.
