Ezekyèl 24
1 Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen, nan nevyèm ane, nan dizyèm mwa a, nan dizyèm jou nan mwa a, e te di:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth of the month, saying,
2 “Fis a lòm, ekri non a jou a, jou sa a menm. Wa Babylone nan te vin mete syèj sou Jérusalem nan menm jou sa a.
'Son of man, write for thee the name of the day — this self-same day leaned hath the king of Babylon toward Jerusalem in this self-same day —
3 Pale yon parabòl a kay rebèl la pou di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mete chodyè a sou difè a. Mete l, e anplis, vide dlo ladann.
and use unto the rebellious house a simile, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour into it water,
4 Mete mòso yo ladann, tout bon mòso yo: kwis ak zepòl la. Plen li ak zo byen chwazi yo.
To gather its pieces unto it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, the choice of the bones to fill in.
5 Pran mouton ki pi byen chwazi nan bann nan, e anplis, mete pil bwa anba chodyè a. Fè l bouyi fò. Anplis, fè bouyi zo ki ladann yo nèt.”
The choice of the flock to take, And also to pile of the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, yea, cook its bones in its midst.
6 “‘Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a peyi sanglan sila a, a chodyè nan sila gen lawouy ladann l! Lawouy la ki pa sòti ladann l! Retire ladann mòso pa mòso, san menm tire oso.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum hath not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, Not fallen on it hath a lot.
7 “‘“Paske san fanm nan vèse se nan mitan l. Li te mete l sou wòch vid la. Li pa t vide li atè a, pou kouvri li ak pousyè.
For her blood in her midst hath been, On a clear place of a rock she hath set it, She hath not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
8 Pou l kapab koze gwo chalè ak kòlè k ap pran vanjans, Mwen te mete san li sou wòch vid la, pou li kab pa kouvri.”
To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock — not to be covered.
9 “‘Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè a vil sanglan sila a! Anplis, Mwen menm, Mwen va fè pil la gwo.
Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Woe [to] the city of blood, yea, I — I make great the pile.
10 Ogmante bwa a. Byen ranje dife a. Bouyi chè vyann nan byen. Mele epis ladann e kite zo yo vin brile.
Make abundant the wood, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burnt.
11 Epi mete li vid sou chabon limen li an pou li ka byen cho, pou bwonz li an kapab gen koulè wouj pou tout salte li yo kapab vin fann ladann, jiskaske lawouy li a fin manje nèt.
And cause it to stand on its coals empty, So that its brass is hot and burning, Melted hath been in its midst its uncleanness, Consumed is its scum.
12 Fi a te fè M fatige ak travay di ke M fè; malgre sa, gwo lawouy li a pa t kite li. Kite lawouy li a rete nan dife a!
[With] sorrows she hath wearied herself, And the abundance of her scum goeth not out of her, In the fire [is] her scum.
13 “‘“Nan salte ou a se tout zak ki lèd yo. Akoz mwen ta netwaye ou, malgre sa, ou pa pwòp; ou p ap vin pwòp de salte ou yo jiskaske Mwen fè chalè kòlè Mwen an sou ou poze.
In thine uncleanness [is] wickedness, Because I have cleansed thee, And thou hast not been cleansed, From thine uncleanness thou art not cleansed again, Till I have caused My fury to rest on thee.
14 “‘“Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale. Sa ap vini e Mwen va aji. Mwen p ap ralanti e Mwen p ap gen pitye ni mwen p ap gen regrè. Selon zak ou yo, Mwen va jije ou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
I, Jehovah, hath spoken, It hath come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I repent, According to thy ways, and according to thine acts, they have judged thee, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
15 Konsa, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
16 “Fis a lòm, gade byen, Mwen prèt pou retire sou ou dezi zye ou yo ak yon sèl kou; men ou p ap plenyen, ni ou p ap kriye, ni dlo p ap vini nan zye ou.
'Son of man, lo, I am taking from thee the desire of thine eyes by a stroke, and thou dost not mourn, nor weep, nor let thy tear come.
17 Plenn nan gòj san fè bri. Pa fè dèy pou mò. Mare moso twal long ou nan tèt ou, mete soulye nan pye ou. Pa kouvri bouch ou e pa manje pen fè dèy a.”
Cease to groan, [for] the dead thou dost make no mourning, thy bonnet bind on thee, and thy shoes thou dost put on thy feet, and thou dost not cover over the upper lip, and bread of men thou dost not eat.'
18 Konsa, mwen te pale ak pèp la nan maten an, e nan aswè, madanm mwen te mouri. Konsa, nan maten an, mwen te fè jan yo te kòmande mwen an.
And I speak unto the people in the morning, and my wife dieth in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
19 Pèp la te mande m: “Èske ou p ap di nou kisa sa vle di ke ou ap aji konsa?”
And the people say unto me, 'Dost thou not declare to us what these [are] to us, that thou art doing?'
20 Epi mwen te di yo: “Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And I say unto them, 'A word of Jehovah hath been unto me, saying:
21 ‘Pale ak lakay Israël: “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen prèt pou pwofane sanktyè Mwen an, ògèy a pouvwa nou an, dezi a zye nou, e plezi a nanm nou. Epi fis ak fi nou yo, ke nou te kite dèyè yo; yo va tonbe pa nepe.
Say to the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am polluting My sanctuary, The excellency of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom ye have left, by sword they do fall.
22 Nou va fè jan mwen te fè a. Nou p ap kouvri bouch nou, ni nou p ap manje pen fè dèy a.
And ye have done as I have done, On the upper lip ye are not covered, And bread of men ye do not eat.
23 Tiban nou va sou tèt nou e soulye nou nan pye nou. Nou p ap fè dèy, ni nou p ap kriye; men nou va plenyen nan inikite nou yo e nou va plenyen youn bay lòt.
And your bonnets [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, Ye do not mourn nor do ye weep, And ye have wasted away for your iniquities, And ye have howled one unto another.
24 Konsa, Ézéchiel va vin yon sign pou nou, selon tout sa ke li menm te fè, nou va fè yo. Lè sa rive, alò nou va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.’”’”
And Ezekiel hath been to you for a type, According to all that he hath done ye do; In its coming in — ye have known that I [am] the Lord Jehovah.
25 “Pou ou menm, fis a lòm, èske sa p ap nan jou a, lè M ap retire fòs yo nan men yo, lajwa fyète yo, dezi a zye yo e plezi a kè yo, fis ak fi pa yo,
And thou, son of man, Is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, The joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, And the song of their soul, Their sons and their daughters?
26 pou nan jou sila a, sila ki chape a va vin kote ou ak enfòmasyon pou zòrèy ou?
In that day come doth the escaped one to thee. To cause the ears to hear.
27 Nan jou sa a, bouch ou va vin louvri a sila ki te chape a, ou va pale, e ou p ap bèbè ankò. Konsa, ou va vin yon sign pou yo, e yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
In that day opened is thy mouth with the escaped, And thou speakest, and art not silent any more, And thou hast been to them for a type. And they have known that I [am] Jehovah.'
