Ezekyèl 26
1 Alò, nan onzyèm ane, nan premye nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And it cometh to pass, in the eleventh year, in the first of the month, there hath been a word of Jehovah unto me, saying: 'Son of man,
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;’
Because that Tyre hath said of Jerusalem: Aha, she hath been broken, the doors of the peoples, She hath turned round unto me, I am filled — she hath been laid waste,
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I [am] against thee, O Tyre, And have caused to come up against thee many nations, As the sea causeth its billows to come up.
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 have destroyed the walls of Tyre, And they have broken down her towers, And I have scraped her dust from her, And made her for a clear place of a 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.
A spreading place of nets she is in the midst of the sea, For I — I have spoken — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, And she hath been for a spoil to 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 who [are] in the field, by sword they are slain, And they have known that I [am] Jehovah,
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 said the Lord Jehovah: Lo, I am bringing in unto Tyre Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, From the north — a king of kings, With horse, and with chariot, and with horsemen, Even an assembly, and a numerous people.
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.
Thy daughters in the field by sword he slayeth, And he hath made against thee a fort, And hath poured out against thee a mount, And hath raised against thee a buckler.
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.
And a battering-ram before him he placeth against thy walls, And thy towers he breaketh by his weapons.
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.
From the abundance of his horses cover thee doth their dust, From the noise of horseman, and wheel, and rider, Shake do thy walls, in his coming in to thy gates, As the coming into a city broken-up.
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 hoofs of his horses he treadeth all thine out-places, Thy people by sword he doth slay, And the pillars of thy strength to the earth come down.
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 they have spoiled thy wealth, And they have plundered thy merchandise, And they have thrown down thy walls, And thy desirable houses they break down, And thy stones, and thy wood, and thy dust, In the midst of the waters they place.
13 Konsa, Mwen va fè son a chante ou yo vin sispann, e son ap ou yo p ap tande ankò.
And I have caused the noise of thy songs to cease, And the voice of thy harps is 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 have given thee up for a clear place of a rock, A spreading-place of nets thou art, Thou art not built up any more, For I, Jehovah, I have spoken, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
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?
Thus said the Lord Jehovah to Tyre: Do not — from the noise of thy fall, In the groaning of the wounded, In the slaying of the slaughter in thy midst, The isles shake?
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 come down from off their thrones have all princes of the sea, And they have turned aside their robes, And their embroidered garments strip off, Trembling they put on, on the earth they sit, And they have trembled every moment, And they have been astonished at thee,
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 have lifted up for thee a lamentation, And said to thee: How hast thou perished, That art inhabited from the seas, The praised city, that was strong in the sea, She and her inhabitants, Who put their terror on 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.’
Now they tremble, is it not the day of thy fall? Troubled have been the isles that [are] in the sea, at thine outgoing.
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 said the Lord Jehovah: In my making thee a city wasted, Like cities that have not been inhabited, In bringing up against thee the deep, Then covered thee have the great waters.
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 I have caused thee to go down, With those going down to the pit, Unto the people of old, And I have caused thee to dwell in the land, The lower parts — in wastes of old, With those going down to the pit, So that thou art not inhabited, And I have given beauty 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.”
Wastes I do make thee, and thou art not, And thou art sought, and art not found any more — to the age, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
