Ezekyèl 23
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vini kote Mwen ankò e te di:
The word of the LORD came again unto me, saying,
2 “Fis a lòm, te gen de fanm, fi a yon sèl manman.
Son of man, there were two women, the 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 committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats 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 the names of them were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister: and they became mine, and they bare sons and daughters. And as for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
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 Oholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians [her] neighbours,
6 Sila yo te abiye an mov, chèf ak ofisye yo. Yo tout te bèl jenn gason, chevalye k ap galope cheval.
which were clothed with blue, governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon 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 bestowed her whoredoms upon them, the choicest men of Assyria all of them: and on whomsoever she doted, with all their idols she defiled herself.
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.
Neither hath, she left her whoredoms since [the days of] Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the teats of her virginity: and they poured out their whoredom upon 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.
Wherefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.
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.
These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and her they slew with the sword: and she became a byword among women; for they executed judgments upon 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 Oholibah saw this, yet was she more corrupt in her doting than she, and in her whoredoms which were more 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 doted upon the Assyrians, governors and rulers, [her] neighbours, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon 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 saw that she was defiled; they both took one way.
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 increased her whoredoms; for she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,
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 girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look upon, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Chaldea, the land of their nativity.
16 Lè li te wè yo, li te fè gwo anvi lachè dèyè yo, e te voye mesaje kote yo Chaldée.
And as soon as she saw them she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into 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 the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love; and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her soul was 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.
So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my soul was alienated from her, like as my soul was alienated from 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.
Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, remembering the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot 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 doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.
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.
Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in the bruising of thy teats by the Egyptians for the breasts of thy 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 Oholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;
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.
the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod and Shoa and Koa, [and] all the Assyrians with them: desirable young men, governors and rulers all of them, princes and men of renown, all of them riding upon 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 shall come against thee with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with an assembly of peoples; they shall set themselves against thee with buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will commit the judgment unto them, and they shall judge thee according to 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 will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy residue shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Anplis, yo va retire tout rad sou ou e yo va pran bèl bijou ou yo.
They shall also strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy fair 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.’
Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom [brought] from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.
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 saith the Lord GOD: Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy soul is 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 shall deal with thee in hatred, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy 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.
These things shall be done unto thee, for that thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted 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.’
Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine 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 saith the Lord GOD: Thou shalt drink of thy sister’s cup, which is deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.
33 Ou va vin plen ak soulay ak tristès, tas a gwo laperèz ak dezolasyon, tas a sè ou a, Samarie.
Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy 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.
Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt gnaw the sherds thereof, and shalt tear thy breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.
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 saith the Lord GOD: Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy 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.
The LORD said moreover unto me: Son of man, wilt thou judge Oholah and Oholibah? then declare unto them their abominations.
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, and with their idols have they committed adultery; and they have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass through [the fire] unto them to be devoured.
38 Ankò, yo te fè M sa: yo te souye sanktyè Mwen an nan menm jou a, e te pwofane Saba Mwen yo.
Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned 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.
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine 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 furthermore ye have sent for men that come from far: unto whom a messenger was sent, and, lo, they came; for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thine eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments;
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 satest upon a stately bed. with a table prepared before it, whereupon thou didst set mine incense and mine oil.
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 being at ease was with her: and with men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets upon the hands of them [twain], and beautiful crowns upon 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?
Then said I of her that was old in adulteries, Now will they commit whoredoms with her, and she [with them].
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 went in unto her, as they go in unto an harlot: so went they in unto Oholah and unto Oholibah, the lewd 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.
And righteous men, they shall judge them with the judgment of adulteresses, and with the judgment of women that shed blood; because 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 saith the Lord GOD: I will bring up an assembly against them, and will give them to be tossed to and fro and spoiled.
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 the assembly shall stone them with stones, and despatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up 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.
Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.
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 shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.
