Ezekyèl 27
1 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
Moreover the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
2 “Ou menm, fis a lòm, leve yon lamantasyon sou Tyr.
'And thou, 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 unto Tyre, that dwelleth at the entry of the sea, that is the merchant of the peoples unto many isles: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Thou, O Tyre, 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.
Thy borders are in the heart of the seas, thy builders 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.
Of cypress-trees from Senir have they fashioned all thy planks; they have taken cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
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 the oaks of Bashan have they made thine oars; thy deck have they made of ivory inlaid in larch, from the isles of the Kittites.
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 fine linen with richly woven work from Egypt was thy sail, that it might be to thee for an ensign; blue and purple from the isles of Elishah was thine 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 inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad were thy rowers; thy wise men, O Tyre, were in thee, they 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 elders of Gebal and the wise men thereof were in thee thy calkers; all the ships of the sea with their mariners were in thee to exchange thy 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.
Persia and Lud and Put were in thine army, thy men of war; they hanged the shield and helmet in thee, they set forth thy comeliness.
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 Arvad and Helech were upon thy walls round about, and the Gammadim were in thy towers; they hanged their shields upon thy walls round about; they have perfected thy 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 thy merchant by reason of the multitude of all kinds of riches; with silver, iron, tin, and lead, they traded for thy 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, they were thy traffickers; they traded the persons of men and vessels of brass for thy merchandise.
14 “‘“Sila nan Beth-Togarma yo te bay cheval ak cheval lagè ak milèt pou byen ou yo.”
They of the house of Togarmah traded for thy wares with horses and horsemen and mules.
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 traffickers; many isles were the mart of thy hand; they brought thee as tribute horns of ivory 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 thy merchant by reason of the multitude of thy wealth; they traded for thy wares with carbuncles, purple, and richly woven work, and fine linen, and coral, and rubies.
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, they were thy traffickers; they traded for thy merchandise wheat of Minnith, and balsam, and honey, and oil, and balm.
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.”
Damascus was thy merchant for the multitude of thy wealth, by reason of the multitude of all riches, with the wine of Helbon, and white wool.
19 “‘“Vendan ak Javan te peye pou bagay ki sòti Uzal yo. Fè fòje, kasya, ak kann dous te pami machandiz ou yo.”
Vedan and Javan traded with yarn for thy wares; massive iron, cassia, and calamus, were among thy merchandise.
20 “‘“Dedan te fè komès ak ou nan sèl pou monte cheval.”
Dedan was thy trafficker in precious cloths 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, they were the merchants of thy hand; in lambs, and rams, and goats, in these were they thy merchants.
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 traffickers of Sheba and Raamah, they were thy traffickers; they traded for thy wares with chief of all spices, and with all precious stones, and gold.
23 “‘“Charan, Canné, ak Éden, machann a Séba, Assyrie, ak Kilmad yo te fè komès ak ou.”
Haran and Canneh and Eden, the traffickers of Sheba, Asshur was as thine apprentice in traffic.
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.
These were thy traffickers in gorgeous fabrics, in wrappings of blue and richly woven work, and in chests of rich apparel, bound with cords and cedar-lined, among 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 Tarshish brought thee tribute for thy merchandise; so wast thou replenished, and made very heavy in the heart of the seas.
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 east wind hath broken thee in the heart of the seas.
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 wares, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the exchangers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, with all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the heart of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
28 Nan son kri a pilòt ou yo, tè patiraj yo va souke.
At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the waves shall shake.
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 handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they 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 shall cause their voice to be heard over thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall roll themselves in the 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 make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee in bitterness of soul with bitter lamentation.
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 in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee: who was there like Tyre, fortified 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.
When thy wares came forth out of the seas, thou didst fill many peoples; with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise didst thou 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 that thou art broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, and thy merchandise and all thy company are fallen in the midst of thee,
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 isles are appalled at thee, and their kings are horribly afraid, they are troubled in 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 among the peoples hiss at thee; thou art become a terror, and never shalt be any more.'
