Ezekyèl 27
1 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
2 “Ou menm, fis a lòm, leve yon lamantasyon sou Tyr.
“And you, son of man, lift up a lamentation concerning Tyre, and you have said to 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.’
O dweller on the entrances of the sea, Merchant of the peoples to many islands, Thus said Lord YHWH: O Tyre, you have said, I [am] the perfection of 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 have 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 have built of firs from Senir all your double-boarded ships for you, They have taken of cedars 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.
They made your oars of oaks from Bashan, They have made your bench of ivory, A branch of Ashurim from islands of Chittim.
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,
Your sail has been of fine linen with embroidery from Egypt, To be for your ensign, Your covering has been of blue and purple from islands of Elishah.
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.
Inhabitants of Sidon and Arvad have been rowers for you, Your wise men, O Tyre, have been in you, They [are] your 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 elderly of Gebal and its wise men have been in you, Strengthening your breach; All ships of the sea and their mariners, Have been in you, to trade 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.
Persia and Lud and Phut Have been in your forces—your men of war. They hung up shield and helmet in you, They have given out your honor.
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 sons of Arvad, and your force, [Are] on your walls all around, And short swordsmen have been in your towers, They have hung up their shields on your walls all around, They have perfected your beauty.

They [are] your merchants for perfect things, For wrappings of blue, and embroidery, And for treasuries of rich apparel, With cords bound and girded, for your merchandise,
25 “‘“Bato a Tarsis yo te transpòte machandiz ou yo. Epi ou te vin ranpli, te tèlman vin bèl nan kè lanmè yo.
Ships of Tarshish are journeying [with] your merchandise for you, And you are filled and honored greatly, 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.
Those rowing you have brought you into great waters, The east wind has broken you 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.
Your wealth and your wares, Your merchandise, your mariners, And your pilots, strengtheners of your breach, And the traders of your merchandise, And all your men of war, who [are] in you, And in all your assembly that [is] in your midst, Fall into the heart of the seas in the day of your fall,
28 Nan son kri a pilòt ou yo, tè patiraj yo va souke.
At the voice of the cry of your pilots the outskirts 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 handling an oar come down from their ships, Mariners [and] all the pilots of the sea stand on 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 have sounded with their voice for you, And cry bitterly, and cause dust to go up on their heads, They roll themselves 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.
And they have made themselves bald for you, And they have girded on sackcloth, And they have wept for you, In bitterness of soul—a 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?’
And their sons have lifted up a lamentation for you, And they have lamented over you, Who [is] as Tyre? As the cut-off one 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.
With the outgoing of your wares from the seas, You have filled many peoples, With the abundance of your riches, and your merchandise, You have enriched [the] kings of 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.
At the time of [your] being broken by the seas in the depths of the waters, Your merchandise and all your assembly have fallen in your midst.
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 inhabitants of the islands have been astonished at you, And their kings have been severely afraid, They have been troubled in 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.”’”
Merchants among the peoples have shrieked for you, You have been terrors, and you are not—for all time!”
