Ezekyèl 23
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini kote Mwen ankò e te di:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying, “Son of man,
2 “Fis a lòm, te gen de fanm, fi a yon sèl manman.
Two women were daughters of one mother,
3 Yo te jwe pwostitiye an Égypte. Yo te jwe pwostitiye a nan jenès yo. Tete yo te peze e flè vyèj yo te touche.
And they go whoring in Egypt, They have gone whoring in their youth, There they have bruised their breasts, And there they have dealt with the loves of their virginity.
4 Non yo se te Ohola ak sè li, Oholiba. Konsa, yo te vin pou Mwen, epi yo te vin fè fis ak fi. Epi pou zafè non yo a, Samarie se Ohola e Jérusalem se Oholiba.
And their names [are] Aholah the older, And Aholibah her sister, And they are Mine, and bear sons and daughters. As for their names—Samaria [is] Aholah, And Jerusalem [is] Aholibah.
5 “Ohola te jwe pwostitiye a pandan li te pou Mwen an. Li te kouri ak anvi dèyè moun ki renmen li yo, dèyè Asiryen yo, vwazen li yo.
And Aholah goes whoring under Me, and she lusts on her lovers, on the neighboring Assyrians,
6 Sila yo te abiye an mov, chèf ak ofisye yo. Yo tout te bèl jenn gason, chevalye k ap galope cheval.
Clothed with blue—governors and prefects, All of them desirable young men, Horsemen, riding on horses,
7 Li te pataje pwostitiye li ak yo; tout nan yo te dè mesye byen chwazi an Assyrie. Epi avèk yo tout, li te kouri ak anvi lachè a, ak tout zidòl yo, li te souye tèt li.
And she gives her whoredoms on them, The choice of the sons of Asshur, All of them—even all on whom she lusted, She has been defiled by all their idols.
8 Li pa t abandone zak pwostitisyon li yo ki te la depi nan tan Égypte la; paske nan jenès li, gason te kouche avèk li. Yo te manyen tete vyèj li e te vide dezi lachè sou li.
And she has not forsaken her whoredoms out of Egypt, For with her they lay in her youth, And they dealt with the loves of her virginity, And they pour out their whoredoms on her.
9 “Akoz sa, Mwen te bay li nan men a moun ki renmen li yo, nan men Asiryen yo. Sou sila yo, li te pote anvi lachè yo.
Therefore I have given her into the hand of her lovers, Into the hand of sons of Asshur on whom she lusted.
10 Yo te dekouvri nidite li. Yo te pran fis ak fi li yo, men yo te touye li menm ak nepe. Konsa, li te vin yon pawòl avètisman pami fanm yo, e yo te egzekite jijman yo sou li.
They have uncovered her nakedness, They have taken her sons and her daughters, And they have slain her by sword, And she is a name for women, And they have done judgments with her.
11 “Alò sè li, Oholiba, te wè sa, men li menm te vin pi konwonpi nan anvi pa li a ke sè li a, e pwostitiye li a te pi mal pase pwostitiye sè li.
And her sister Aholibah sees, And she makes her unhealthy love more corrupt than she, And her whoredoms than the whoredoms of her sister.
12 Li te gen anvi pou Asiryen yo, chèf yo, ak ofisye yo, sila ki pre yo, sila ki abiye kon prens yo, chevalye k ap galope cheval yo, yo tout se bèl gason byen pòtan.
She has lusted on sons of Asshur, Governors and prefects, Neighboring ones—clothed in perfection, Horsemen, riding on horses, All of them desirable young men.
13 Mwen te wè ke li te souye tèt li. Yo toulède te pran menm wout la.
And I see that she has been defiled, One way [is] to them both.
14 “Konsa, li te fè pwostitiye li a vin pi gwo. Epi li te wè pòtre gason yo sou miray la, imaj a Kaldeyen yo fèt an penti wouj,
And she adds to her whoredoms, And she sees men carved on the wall, Pictures of Chaldeans, carved with vermillion,
15 abiye ak sentiwon nan ren yo, avèk mòso twal long nan tèt yo, yo tout te sanble ofisye, tankou Babilonyen ki Chaldée yo, peyi nesans yo.
Girded with a girdle on their loins, Dyed attire spread out on their heads, The appearance of rulers—all of them, The likeness of sons of Babylon, Chaldea is the land of their birth.
16 Lè li te wè yo, li te fè gwo anvi lachè dèyè yo, e te voye mesaje kote yo Chaldée.
And she lusts on them at the sight of her eyes, And sends messengers to them, to Chaldea.
17 Babilonyen yo te vin kote li sou kabann lanmou an e te souye li ak pwostitiye yo. Epi lè li te fin defile ak yo, li te bouke jis li about ak yo.
And sons of Babylon come in to her, To the bed of loves, And they defile her with their whoredoms, And she is defiled with them, And her soul is alienated from them.
18 Konsa, li te dekouvri zak pwostitisyon li an e li te dekouvri nidite li, epi Mwen te vin about avèk li, menm jan Mwen te about ak sè li a.
And she reveals her whoredoms, And she reveals her nakedness, And My soul is alienated from off her, As My soul was alienated from off her sister.
19 Malgre sa, li te miltipliye pwostitisyon li yo, lè l te sonje jou jenès li yo, lè l te konn jwe pwostitiye nan peyi Égypte la.
And she multiplies her whoredoms, To remember the days of her youth, When she went whoring in the land of Egypt.
20 Li te fè lanvi nan kouri dèyè tout moun ki gen chè tankou chè bourik ak ekoulman kon ekoulman cheval yo.
And she lusts on their lovers, Whose flesh [is] the flesh of donkeys, And the emission of horses—their emission.
21 Konsa, ou te fè lanvi pou bagay lèd jenès ou yo lè Ejipsyen yo te konn manyen lestonmak ou akoz tete jenès ou yo.
You look after the wickedness of your youth, In dealing out of Egypt your loves, For the sake of the breasts of your youth.
22 “Akoz sa, Oholiba, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va fè moun ki renmen ou yo soulve kont ou, soti nan sila yo ki pa byen avè w, e Mwen va mennen yo kont ou sou tout kote:
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am stirring up your lovers against you, From whom your soul has been alienated, And have brought them in against you from all around.
23 Babilonyen yo ak tout Kaldeyen yo, Pekod, Schoa, Koa, ak tout Asiryen ki avèk yo; yo tout, jenn gason byen pòtan yo, chèf yo ak tout ofisye yo, ofisye ak mesye ki gen bon renome yo, tout sila k ap galope cheval yo.
Sons of Babylon, and of all Chaldea, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, All the sons of Asshur with them, Desirable young men, governors and prefects, All of them—rulers and proclaimed ones, All of them riding on horses.
24 Yo va vini kont ou ak zam, cha, ak charyo e avèk yon gwo twoup moun yo. Yo va mete yo menm kont ou avèk zam, cha e avèk gwo twoup moun. Yo va mete yo kont ou tout kote ak nepe, boukliye ak kas. Konsa, Mwen va angaje jijman a yo menm e yo va jije ou selon koutim yo.
And they have come in against you, With arms, rider, and wheel, And with an assembly of peoples; Buckler, and shield, and helmet, They set against you all around, And I have set judgment before them, They have judged you in their judgments.
25 Mwen va pozisyone jalouzi Mwen kont ou, pou yo ka aji avèk ou nan kòlè a gwo chalè Mwen an. Yo va retire nen ou ak zòrèy ou. Sila ki chape yo va tonbe pa nepe. Yo va pran fis ou yo ak fi ou yo, e sila ki chape yo va manje nan dife.
And I have set My jealousy against you, And they have dealt with you in fury, They turn aside your nose and your ears, And your posterity falls by sword, They take away your sons and your daughters, And your posterity is devoured by fire.
26 Anplis, yo va retire tout rad sou ou e yo va pran bèl bijou ou yo.
And they have stripped you of your garments, And have taken your beautiful jewels.
27 Konsa, Mwen va fè zak lèd ak zak pwostitisyon ke ou mennen sòti an Égypte yo vin sispann nan ou, pou ou pa leve zye ou bay yo, ni sonje Égypte ankò.’
And I have caused your wickedness to cease from you, And your whoredoms out of the land of Egypt, And you do not lift up your eyes to them, And you do not remember Egypt again.
28 “Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va livre ou nan men a sila ke ou rayi yo, nan men a yo menm de sila ou te vin ekate yo.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am giving you into a hand that you have hated, Into a hand from which you were alienated.
29 Yo va aji avèk ou ak rayisman, pran tout sa ou posede e kite ou toutouni san anyen menm. Konsa, nidite a zak pwostitisyon ou yo va vin ekspoze, ni zak lèd ou yo, ni zak pwostitisyon ou yo.
And they have dealt with you in hatred, And they have taken all your labor, And they have left you naked and bare, And the nakedness of your whoredoms has been revealed, And the wickedness of your whoredoms.
30 Bagay sa yo ap fèt a ou menm akoz ou te jwe pwostitiye ak nasyon yo, akoz ou te souye tèt ou ak zidòl yo.
To do these things to you, In your going whoring after nations, Because you have been defiled with their idols,
31 Ou te mache nan chemen a sè ou a. Pou sa, Mwen va mete tas pa li a nan men ou.’
You have walked in the way of your sister, And I have given her cup into your hand.
32 “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Ou va bwè tas a sè ou a ki fon e ki laj. Yo va ri sou ou e fè rizib sou ou. Li byen gwo.
Thus said Lord YHWH: You drink the cup of your sister, The deep and the wide one (You are for laughter and for scorn), Abundant to contain.
33 Ou va vin plen ak soulay ak tristès, tas a gwo laperèz ak dezolasyon, tas a sè ou a, Samarie.
You are filled with drunkenness and sorrow, A cup of astonishment and desolation, The cup of your sister Samaria.
34 Ou va bwè li e vide li nèt. Epi ou va manje sou ti mòso chire yo e dechire tete ou; paske Mwen te pale sa a”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
And you have drunk it, and have drained [it], And you gnaw its earthen ware, And you pluck off your own breasts, For I have spoken, A declaration of Lord YHWH,
35 “Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz ou te bliye Mwen e te jete Mwen dèyè do ou, se pou ou sipòte, koulye a, pinisyon zak lèd ak zak pwostitisyon ou yo.’”
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Because you have forgotten Me, And you cast Me behind your back, Even you also bear your wickedness and your whoredoms.”
36 Anplis, SENYÈ a te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou va jije Ohola ak Oholiba? Alò, deklare a yo menm abominasyon yo.
And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, Do you judge Aholah and Aholibah? Then declare their abominations to them.
37 Paske yo te komèt adiltè e yo gen san nan men yo. Konsa, yo te komèt adiltè ak zidòl yo e te menm fè fis yo, ke yo te fè pou Mwen yo, pase nan dife pou sèvi kon manje zidòl.
For they have committed adultery, And blood [is] in their hands, They committed adultery with their idols, And also their sons whom they bore to Me, They caused to pass over to them for food.
38 Ankò, yo te fè M sa: yo te souye sanktyè Mwen an nan menm jou a, e te pwofane Saba Mwen yo.
Again, they have done this to Me, They defiled My sanctuary in that day, And they have defiled My Sabbaths.
39 Paske lè yo te fin masakre tout fis yo pou zidòl yo, yo te antre nan sanktyè Mwen an nan menm jou a pou pwofane li; epi konsa, yo te fè anndan lakay Mwen an.
And in their slaughtering their sons to their idols They also come into My sanctuary in that day to defile it, And behold, thus they have done in the midst of My house,
40 “Anplis, sè ou yo te menm voye pou mesye ki te sòti lwen yo, a sila yon mesaje te voye. Epi gade byen, yo te vini. Pou sa a, ou te benyen kò w, pentire zye ou, e dekore tèt ou ak bijou yo.
And also that they send to men coming from afar, To whom a messenger is sent, And behold, they have come in for whom you have washed, Painted your eyes, and put on adornment.
41 Ou te chita sou yon sofa byen bèl ak yon tab byen ranje devan l sou sila ou te mete lansan Mwen ak lwil Mwen an.
And you have sat on a couch of honor, And a table arrayed before it, And placed My incense and My oil on it.
42 “Bri a yon fèt ki plen moun ki alèz te avèk li. Lezòm klas ba, ak moun banal yo te mennen soti nan dezè a. Yo te mete braslè nan men a fanm sa yo ak bèl kouwòn nan tèt yo.
And the voice of a multitude at ease [is] with her, And Sabeans from the wilderness are brought in to men of the common people, And they put bracelets on their hands, And a beautiful crown on their heads.
43 Epi Mwen te di a li menm ki te epwize nèt akoz adiltè li yo: ‘Èske yo va jwe pwostitiye ak li, koulye a, pandan li konsa a?
And I say of the worn-out one in adulteries, Now they commit her whoredoms—she also!
44 Men yo te antre ladann konsi yo t ap antre nan yon pwostitiye. Konsa, yo te antre nan Ohola ak Oholiba, fanm zak lèd yo.
And they come in to her, As the coming in to a whorish woman, So they have come in to Aholah, And to Aholibah—the wicked women.
45 Men yo menm, moun ladwati yo, va jije yo ak jijman a yon fanm adiltè, e avèk jijman a yon fanm ki te vèse san, akoz se fanm adiltè ke yo ye, epi yo gen san sou men yo.
As for righteous men, they judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, And the judgment of women shedding blood, For they [are] adulteresses, And blood [is] in their hands.
46 “Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Mennen yon twoup kont yo e livre yo a gwo laperèz ak piyaj.
For thus said Lord YHWH: Bring up an assembly against them, And give them to trembling and to spoiling.
47 Twoup sa a va lapide yo ak wòch e rache yo ak nepe yo. Yo va touye fis ak fi yo e brile lakay yo ak dife.
And they have cast the stone of the assembly at them, And cut them with their swords, They slay their sons and their daughters, And they burn their houses with fire.
48 “‘Konsa, Mwen va fè zak lèd yo kite peyi a, pou tout fanm yo kapab vin avèti e pa komèt zak lèd jan nou konn fè a.
And I have caused wickedness to cease from the land, And all the women have been instructed, And they do not do according to your wickedness.
49 Zak lèd nou yo va vin rekonpanse sou nou e nou va pote pinisyon pou adorasyon zidòl nou yo. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.’”
And they have put your wickedness on you, And you bear the sins of your idols, And you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH!”
