Ezekyèl 27
1 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
2 “Ou menm, fis a lòm, leve yon lamantasyon sou Tyr.
“Now you, son of man, take up a lament for Tyre.
3 Di a Tyr, ‘Ou ki rete nan antre lanmè a, komèsan a pèp anpil peyi bò kot lanmè yo, Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “O Tyr, ou te di ‘Mwen pafè nan bèlte.’
Tell Tyre, who dwells at the gateway to the sea, merchant of the peoples on many coasts, that this is what the Lord GOD says: You have said, O Tyre, ‘I am perfect in beauty.’
4 Lizyè ou nan kè lanmè yo. Sila ki te bati ou yo te fè bèlte ou pafè.
Your borders are in the heart of the seas; your builders perfected your beauty.
5 Yo te fè tout planch ou yo ak pye siprè Senir yo. Yo te chache pye sèd Liban yo pou fè ma pou ou.
They constructed all your planking with cypress from Senir. They took a cedar from Lebanon to make a mast for you.
6 Ak chèn a Basan, yo te fè zaviwon ou yo. Ak ban ivwa, yo te koupe fè tras sou bwa siprè ki te fèt ak pye sèd ki te mennen sòti jis rive Kittim.
Of oaks from Bashan they made your oars; of wood from the coasts of Cyprus they made your deck, inlaid with ivory.
7 Vwal ou te fèt ak len fen ki te sòti an Égypte, ki te sèvi kon mak drapo ou. Anba pwotèj solay byen kolore an ble e mov, ki te sòti nan peyi kòt Élischa yo,
Of embroidered fine linen from Egypt they made your sail, which served as your banner. Of blue and purple from the coasts of Elishah they made your awning.
8 mesye Sidon yo ak Arvad t ap bourade zaviwon ou yo. Mesye saj ou yo, O Tyr, te nan ou. Se yo ki te pilòt yo.
The men of Sidon and Arvad were your oarsmen. Your men of skill, O Tyre, were there as your captains.
9 Ansyen a Guebal yo ak mesye saj li yo te avèk nou, pou repare kote ki ouvri yo. Tout bato lanmè yo ak mèt bato yo te la pou okipe machandiz ou yo.
The elders of Gebal were aboard as shipwrights, repairing your leaks. All the ships of the sea and their sailors came alongside to barter for your merchandise.
10 “‘“Perse, Lud, ak Puth te nan lame ou, mesye lagè ou yo. Yo te pann boukliye ak kas nan ou. Yo te fè grandè ou parèt byen bèl.
Men of Persia, Lydia, and Put served as warriors in your army. They hung their shields and helmets on your walls; they gave you splendor.
11 Fis a Avad yo ak lame ou a te sou miray ou yo, e gèrye yo te pann boukliye yo sou miray ou yo toupatou. Yo te vin pèfeksone bèlte ou a.
Men of Arvad and Helech manned your walls all around, and the men of Gammad were in your towers. They hung their shields around your walls; they perfected your beauty.
12 “‘“Tarsis te kliyan ou, akoz abondans tout kalite richès ou yo. Avèk ajan, fè, fè blan, ak plon, yo te achte machandiz ou yo.
Tarshish was your merchant because of your great wealth of goods; they exchanged silver, iron, tin, and lead for your wares.
13 “‘“Javan, Tubal, ak Méschec te fè komès ak ou. Ak lavi a moun ak veso plen bwonz, yo te achte machandiz ou yo.”
Javan, Tubal, and Meshech were your merchants. They exchanged slaves and bronze utensils for your merchandise.
14 “‘“Sila nan Beth-Togarma yo te bay cheval ak cheval lagè ak milèt pou byen ou yo.”
The men of Beth-togarmah exchanged horses, war horses, and mules for your wares.
15 “‘“Fis a Dedan yo te fè trafik avèk ou. Anpil peyi kot lanmè yo te vin fè mache ou. Kòn ivwa ak ebèn te pote pou fè twòk.
The men of Dedan were your clients; many coastlands were your market; they paid you with ivory tusks and ebony.
16 “‘“Syrie te fè trafik avèk ou akoz abondans byen ou yo. Yo te peye pou bagay ou yo ak pyè presye, tenti mov, zèv bwodri, len fen, koray ak pyè woubi.”
Aram was your customer because of your many products; they exchanged turquoise, purple, embroidered work, fine linen, coral, and rubies for your wares.
17 “‘“Juda ak peyi Israël te fè komès ak ou. Ak ble ki sòti Minnith, gato, siwo myèl, lwil ak bom, yo te peye pou machandiz ou.”
Judah and the land of Israel traded with you; they exchanged wheat from Minnith, cakes and honey, oil and balm for your merchandise.
18 “‘“Damas te kliyan ou akoz gwo kantite byen ou yo, akoz gwo kantite a tout kalite richès ou yo, akoz diven Helbon an ak len blan an.”
Because of your many products and your great wealth of goods, Damascus traded with you wine from Helbon, wool from Zahar,
19 “‘“Vendan ak Javan te peye pou bagay ki sòti Uzal yo. Fè fòje, kasya, ak kann dous te pami machandiz ou yo.”
and casks of wine from Izal for your wares. Wrought iron, cassia, and sweet cane were exchanged for your merchandise.
20 “‘“Dedan te fè komès ak ou nan sèl pou monte cheval.”
Dedan was your merchant in saddlecloths for riding.
21 “‘“Arabie ak tout prens a Kédar yo, te kliyan ou pou jenn mouton, belye ak kabrit yo. Nan tout sa yo, yo te kliyan ou.”
Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were your customers, trading in lambs, rams, and goats.
22 “‘“Vandè a Séba ak Raema yo te fè trafik ak ou. Yo te peye pou byen ou yo ak pi bon nan tout kalite epis, e ak tout bijou presye ak lò.”
The merchants of Sheba and Raamah traded with you; for your wares they exchanged gold, the finest of all spices, and precious stones.
23 “‘“Charan, Canné, ak Éden, machann a Séba, Assyrie, ak Kilmad yo te fè komès ak ou.”
Haran, Canneh, and Eden traded with you, and so did the merchants of Sheba, Asshur, and Chilmad.
24 Yo te fè komès ak ou nan bèl abiman, nan vètman an ble ak bwodri fen, nan tapi a tout koulè, ak kòd trese byen sere, ki te pami machandiz ou yo.
In your marketplace they traded with you fine garments of blue, embroidered work, and multicolored rugs with cords tightly twisted and knotted.
25 “‘“Bato a Tarsis yo te transpòte machandiz ou yo. Epi ou te vin ranpli, te tèlman vin bèl nan kè lanmè yo.
The ships of Tarshish carried your merchandise. And you were filled with heavy cargo in the heart of the sea.
26 Mèt zaviwon yo te mennen ou nan gwo dlo. Van lès la te vin kraze ou nan kè lanmè yo.
Your oarsmen have brought you onto the high seas, but the east wind will shatter you in the heart of the sea.
27 Richès ou yo, byen ou yo, machandiz ou yo, maren ak pilòt ou yo, Gwo bòs pou ranje bato yo, vandè ki fè komès machandiz, Ak tout mesye lagè ki nan ou yo, ak tout twoup ki pami ou a, va tonbe antre nan kè lanmè yo nan jou boulvèsman ou an.
Your wealth, wares, and merchandise, your sailors, captains, and shipwrights, your merchants and all the warriors within you, with all the other people on board, will sink into the heart of the sea on the day of your downfall.
28 Nan son kri a pilòt ou yo, tè patiraj yo va souke.
The countryside will shake when your sailors cry out.
29 Tout moun ki konn manyen zaviwon, mesye maren ak tout pilòt lanmè yo va desann kite bato yo. Yo va kanpe atè,
All who handle the oars will abandon their ships. The sailors and all the captains of the sea will stand on the shore.
30 epi yo va fè vwa yo vin tande sou ou, e yo va kriye anmè. Yo va jete pousyè sou tèt yo. Yo va vire tounen nan mitan sann yo.
They will raise their voices for you and cry out bitterly. They will throw dust on their heads and roll in ashes.
31 Anplis, yo va fè tèt yo vin chòv pou ou, e mare senti yo ak twal sak. Yo va kriye pou ou nan amètim nanm yo, ak yon plenyen byen anmè.
They will shave their heads for you and wrap themselves in sackcloth. They will weep over you with anguish of soul and bitter mourning.
32 Anplis, nan gwo kri yo fè, yo va fè leve yon lamantasyon pou ou, e menm kriye pou ou: ‘Se kilès ki tankou Tyr, tankou sila ki rete an silans nan mitan lanmè a?’
As they wail and mourn over you, they will take up a lament for you: ‘Who was ever like Tyre, silenced in the middle of the sea?
33 Lè tout byen ou yo te sòti toupatou sou lanmè yo, ou te fè kè anpil pèp kontan. Ak fòs kantite richès ak machandiz ou yo, ou te fè wa latè yo vin rich.
When your wares went out to sea, you satisfied many nations. You enriched the kings of the earth with your abundant wealth and merchandise.
34 Alò, nan moman an, lè ou vin kraze nèt pa lanmè yo, nan fon dlo yo, machandiz ou ak tout twoup ou yo te tonbe pami ou.
Now you are shattered by the seas in the depths of the waters; your merchandise and the people among you have gone down with you.
35 Tout sila ki rete nan peyi kot lanmè yo te vin efreye de ou, e wa yo vin plen ak gwo laperèz. Vizaj yo vin twouble.
All the people of the coastlands are appalled over you. Their kings shudder with fear; their faces are contorted.
36 Komèsan pami pèp yo vin sifle anlè kon koulèv sou ou. Lafèn ou te vreman etonnan, e ou p ap la ankò, jis pou tout tan.”’”
Those who trade among the nations hiss at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’”
