Ezekyèl 27
1 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Ou menm, fis a lòm, leve yon lamantasyon sou Tyr.
Thou therefore, O son of man, take up a lamentation 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.’
And say to Tyre that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, being the mart of the people for many islands: Thus saith the Lord God: O Tyre, thou hast said: I am of perfect beauty,
4 Lizyè ou nan kè lanmè yo. Sila ki te bati ou yo te fè bèlte ou pafè.
And situate in the heart of the sea. Thy neighbours, that built thee, have perfected thy 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.
With fir trees of Sanir they have built thee with all sea planks: they have taken cedars from Libanus to make thee masts.
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.
They have cut thy oars out of the oaks of Basan: and they have made thee benches of Indian ivory and cabins with things brought from the islands of Italy.
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,
Fine broidered linen from Egypt was woven for thy sail, to be spread on thy mast: blue and purple from the islands of Elisa, were made thy covering.
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 inhabitants of Sidon, and the Arabians were thy rowers: thy wise men, O Tyre, were thy pilots.
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 ancients of Gebal, and the wise men thereof furnished mariners for the service of thy various furniture: all the ships of the sea, and their mariners were thy factors.
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.
The Persians, and Lydians, and the Libyans were thy soldiers in thy army: they hung up the buckler and the helmet in thee for thy ornament.
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.
The men of Arad were with thy army upon thy walls round about: the Pygmeans also that were in thy towers, hung up their quivers on thy walls round about: they perfected thy beauty.

From the house of Thogorma they brought horses, and horsemen, and mules to thy market.
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 thy merchants: many islands were the traffic of thy hand, they exchanged for thy price teeth of ivory and ebony.

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.
They were thy merchants in divers manners, with bales of blue cloth, and of embroidered work, and of precious riches, which were wrapped up and bound with cords: they had cedars also in thy merchandise.
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 the sea, were thy chief in thy merchandise: and thou wast replenished, and glorified exceedingly 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.
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the south wind hath broken thee 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.
Thy riches, and thy treasures, and thy manifold furniture, thy mariners, and thy pilots, who kept thy goods, and were chief over thy people: thy men of war also, that were in thee, with all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee: shall fall in the heart of the sea in the day of thy ruin.
28 Nan son kri a pilòt ou yo, tè patiraj yo va souke.
Thy fleets shall be troubled at the sound of the cry of thy pilots.
29 Tout moun ki konn manyen zaviwon, mesye maren ak tout pilòt lanmè yo va desann kite bato yo. Yo va kanpe atè,
And all that handled the oar shall come down from their ships: the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea shall stand upon the land:
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.
And they shall mourn over thee with a loud voice, and shall cry bitterly: and they shall cast up dust upon their heads, and shall be sprinkled with 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.
And they shall shave themselves bald for thee, and shall be girded with haircloth: and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of soul, with most bitter weeping.
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?’
And they shall take up a mournful song for thee, and snail lament thee: What city is like Tyre, which is become silent in the midst 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.
Which by thy merchandise that went from thee by sea didst fill many people: which by the multitude of thy riches, and of thy people didst enrich the kings of the earth.
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 thou art destroyed by the sea, thy riches are in the bottom of the waters, and all the multitude that was in the midst of thee is fallen.
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 inhabitants of the islands are astonished at thee: and all their kings being struck with the storm have changed their countenance.
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.”’”
The merchants of people have hissed at thee: thou art brought to nothing, and thou shalt never be any more.
