Ezekyèl 26

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

And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first [day] of the month, [that] 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 Sor has said against Jerusalem, Aha, she is crushed: the nations are destroyed: she is turned to me: she that was full is made desolate:

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 thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, O Sor, and I will bring up many nations against you, as the sea comes up with 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.

And they shall cast down the walls of Sor, and shall cast down your towers: and I will scrape her dust from off 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 shall be in the midst of the sea a place for repairing nets: for I have spoken [it], says the Lord: and it shall be a spoil 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 her daughters [which are] in the field shall be slain with the sword, and they shall 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 thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring up against you, O Sor, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon from the north: he is a king of kings, with horses, and chariots, and horsemen, and a concourse of very many nations.

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 shall kill your daughters that are in the field with the sword, and shall set a watch against you, and build forts around you, and carry a rampart round against you, and set up warlike works, and array his spears 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 shall cast down with his swords your walls and your towers.

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.

By reason of your multitude of his horses their dust shall cover you, and by reason of the sound of his horsemen and the wheels of his chariots the walls shall be shaken, when he enters into your gates, as one entering into a city from the plain.

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.

With the hoofs of his horses they shall trample all your streets: he shall kill your people with the sword, and shall bring down to the ground the support of your strength.

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.

And he shall prey upon your power, and plunder your substance, and shall cast down your walls, and break down your pleasant houses: and he shall cast your stones and your timber and your dust into the midst of your sea.

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

And he shall destroy the multitude of your musicians, and the sound of your lutes shall be heard no more.

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.

And I will make you a bare rock: you shall be a place to spread nets upon; you shall be built no more: for I the Lord have spoken [it], says the Lord.

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?

For thus says the Lord God to Sor; Shall not the isles shake at the sound of your fall, while the wounded are groaning, while they have drawn a sword in the midst of you?

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.

And all the princes of the nations of the sea shall come down from their thrones, and shall take off their crowns from their heads, and shall take off their embroidered raiment: they shall be utterly amazed; they shall sit upon the ground, and fear their [own] destruction, and shall groan 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!”

And they shall take up a lamentation for you, and shall say to you, How are you destroyed from out of the sea, the renowned city, that brought her terror upon all her inhabitants.

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.’

And the isles shall be alarmed at the day of your fall.

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 thus says the Lord God; When I shall make the city desolate, as the cities that shall not be inhabited, when I have brought the deep up upon 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.

and great waters shall cover you; and I shall bring you down to them that go down to the pit, to the people of old time, and shall cause you to dwell in the depths of the earth, as in everlasting desolation, with them that go down to the pit, that you may not be inhabited, nor stand upon the land of life;

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 a destruction, and you shall be no more for ever, says the Lord God.
