Ezekyèl 26

1 Alò, nan onzyèm ane, nan premye nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

In the eleventh month of the twelfth year, on the first day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,

2 “Fis a lòm, akoz Tyr te di konsènan Jérusalem: ‘Ha ha! Gade byen, pòtay a pèp yo fin kraze; koulye a l ap remet nan men m. Mwen va vin ranpli koulye a akoz li devaste nèt;’

“Son of man, because Tyre has said of Jerusalem, ‘Aha! The gate to the nations is broken; it has swung open to me; now that she lies in ruins I will be filled,’

3 akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen vin kont ou, O Tyr, e Mwen va mennen fè monte anpil nasyon kont ou, tankou lanmè mennen lanm li.

therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, O Tyre, I am against you, and I will raise up many nations against you, as the sea brings up its waves.

4 Yo va detwi miray a Tyr e demoli tou wo li yo. Anplis, Mwen va grate retire ranblè li yo, e fè l vin yon wòch vid.

They will destroy the walls of Tyre and demolish her towers. I will scrape the soil from her and make her a bare rock.

5 Li va vin yon kote pou ouvri filè nan mitan lanmè a, paske Mwen te pale,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a. ‘Konsa, li va vin piyaj pou nasyon yo.

She will become a place to spread nets in the sea, for I have spoken, declares the Lord GOD. She will become plunder for the nations,

6 Anplis, fi li yo ki lòtbò pi gwo teren an va vin touye pa nepe e yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.’

and the villages on her mainland will be slain by the sword. Then they will know that I am the LORD.’

7 “Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va mennen sou Tyr soti nan nò Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, wadèwa a, ak cheval, cha, kavalye ak yon gwo lame.

For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will bring against Tyre from the north Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, king of kings, with horses and chariots, with cavalry and a great company of troops.

8 Li va touye fi ou yo sou gwo chan an ak nepe. Li va fè miray syèj kont ou, fè monte yon ran kont ou e fè monte yon gwo boukliye kont ou.

He will slaughter the villages of your mainland with the sword; he will set up siege works against you, build a ramp to your walls, and raise his shields against you.

9 Ak gwo mòso bwa fèt pou kraze a, ke l ap dirije kont miray ou yo, e ak rach li yo li va demoli tou wo ou yo.

He will direct the blows of his battering rams against your walls and tear down your towers with his axes.

10 Akoz gwo fòs kantite cheval li yo, pousyè leve la yo va kouvri ou. Miray ou yo va souke ak bri kavalye, ak charyo ak cha yo lè l ap antre nan pòtay ou yo tankou lè moun ap antre nan yon vil lè yo fin fè brèch ladann.

His multitude of horses will cover you in their dust. When he enters your gates as an army entering a breached city, your walls will shake from the noise of cavalry, wagons, and chariots.

11 Ak zago cheval li yo, li va foule tout lari ou yo nèt. Li va touye moun ou yo ak nepe. Gwo pilye lafòs ou yo va tonbe atè.

The hooves of his horses will trample all your streets. He will slaughter your people with the sword, and your mighty pillars will fall to the ground.

12 Anplis, yo va fè piyaj a tout richès ak machandiz ou yo. Yo va kraze mi ou yo, detwi bèl kay ou yo, e jete wòch ak, poto bwa yo ak tout ranblè ou yo nan dlo.

They will plunder your wealth and pillage your merchandise. They will demolish your walls, tear down your beautiful homes, and throw your stones and timber and soil into the water.

13 Konsa, Mwen va fè son a chante ou yo vin sispann, e son ap ou yo p ap tande ankò.

So I will silence the sound of your songs, and the music of your lyres will no longer be heard.

14 Mwen va fè ou yon wòch vid. Ou va sèvi kon yon kote pou ouvri filè. Ou p ap bati ankò, paske Mwen, SENYÈ a te pale’, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

I will make you a bare rock, and you will become a place to spread the fishing nets. You will never be rebuilt, for I, the LORD, have spoken, declares the Lord GOD.’

15 “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a a Tyr: ‘Èske peyi kot lanmè yo pa ta souke menm nan son chit ou a lè sila ki blese yo plenn nan gòj yo, lè masak fèt nan mitan nou?

This is what the Lord GOD says to Tyre: ‘Will not the coastlands quake at the sound of your downfall, when the wounded groan at the slaughter in your midst?

16 Nan lè sa a, tout prens lanmè yo va desann soti nan twòn yo retire wòb yo, e menm retire bèl vètman bwodri yo. Yo va abiye tèt yo ak men yo k ap tranble; yo va chita atè, ap tranble tout tan e vin efreye akoz de ou.

All the princes of the sea will descend from their thrones, remove their robes, and strip off their embroidered garments. Clothed with terror, they will sit on the ground, trembling every moment, appalled over you.

17 Yo va leve yon lamantasyon sou ou e di ou: “Gade kijan ou vin peri, O sila ki te plen moun nan, Soti sou lanmè yo, O gwo vil byen renome ki te pwisan sou lanmè, li menm ak tout moun ki te rete ladann yo, ki te enpoze gwo laperèz li sou tout abitan li yo!”

Then they will lament for you, saying, “How you have perished, O city of renown inhabited by seafaring men— she who was powerful on the sea, along with her people, who imposed terror on all peoples!

18 Koulye a, peyi bò lanmè yo va tranble nan jou chit ou a. Wi, peyi kot ki bò lanmè yo va vin etone jiskaske yo tranble akoz ou vin disparèt.’

Now the coastlands tremble on the day of your downfall; the islands in the sea are dismayed by your demise.”’

19 “Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Lè Mwen fè ou vin yon vil dezole, kon vil ki pa gen moun yo, lè Mwen mennen pwofondè a sou ou pou gwo dlo vin kouvri ou,

For this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘When I make you a desolate city like other deserted cities, and when I raise up the deep against you so that the mighty waters cover you,

20 konsa, Mwen va fè ou desann ak sila ki desann nan twou fòs la, al jwenn pèp ansyen yo. Mwen va fè ou rete nan pati ki piba sou tè a, tankou ansyen kote dezole yo, ak sila ki desann nan twou fòs la, pou ou pa menm gen moun ki abite nan ou. Men Mwen va mete laglwa nan peyi a vivan yo.

then I will bring you down with those who descend to the Pit, to the people of antiquity. I will make you dwell in the earth below like the ancient ruins, with those who descend to the Pit, so that you will no longer be inhabited or set in splendor in the land of the living.

21 Mwen va mennen gwo laperèz sou ou e ou p ap egziste ankò. Malgre y ap chache ou, yo p ap janm jwenn ou ankò’, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.”

I will make you an object of horror, and you will be no more. You will be sought, but will never be found,’ declares the Lord GOD.”
