Ezekyèl 27
1 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying:
2 “Ou menm, fis a lòm, leve yon lamantasyon sou Tyr.
Son of man, take up a lamentation over 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, O thou that didst dwell at the entrance of the sea, the merchant of the nations to many coasts! thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou hast said, “I am perfect in beauty.”
4 Lizyè ou nan kè lanmè yo. Sila ki te bati ou yo te fè bèlte ou pafè.
Thy borders are in the midst 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.
They made all thy ship-boards of cypresses of Senir; they took 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 oaks of Bashan they made thine oars; thy benches they made of ivory inlaid in cedar from the coasts of the Chittaeans.
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 linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou didst spread forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the coasts of Elisha were 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 Zidon and Arvad were thy rowers; thy wise men, O Tyre, that were in thee, 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 skilful men thereof were in thee, thy calkers; all the ships of the sea, with their mariners, were in thee, to traffic in 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.
Persians, and Lydians, and Lybians were in thine army, thy men of war; they hung up the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy glory.
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 thine own army were upon thy walls round about, and brave warriors were in thy towers; they hung their shields upon thy walls round about; they made thy beauty perfect.
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 trafficked with thee on account of the abundance of all kinds of goods; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they traded in thy fairs.
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 trafficked with thee; the persons of men and vessels of brass they sold in thy market.
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 in thy fairs 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 trafficked with thee; many islands were at hand to thee for trade; they brought thee, for payment, horns of ivory, and ebony-wood.
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.”
Syria trafficked with thee by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making; with carbuncles, purple and embroidered work, and fine linen, and corals, and rubies, they traded in thy fairs.
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 trafficked with thee; with wheat of Minnith, and pastry, and syrup, and oil, and balm they traded in thy market.
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 trafficked with thee on account of the multitude of the wares of thy making, on account of the abundance of all kinds of goods, in the wine of Helbon, and in 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 brought thread to thy market; wrought iron, cassia, and sweet reed were in thy fairs.
20 “‘“Dedan te fè komès ak ou nan sèl pou monte cheval.”
Dedan brought cloth for riding, in traffic with thee.
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 at hand to traffic with thee; they traded with thee in lambs and 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 trafficked with thee with all kinds of precious spices, and with all kinds of 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 merchants of Sheba, Assyria, 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.
trafficked with thee in splendid apparel, in mantles of blue and embroidered work, in chests of damask bound with cords and made of cedar, in thy market.
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 were the caravans for thy traffic; and thou wast replenished and made very glorious in the midst 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 midst 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 fairs, and thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the traders in thy merchandise, and all thy men of war within thee, and all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst 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 pastures around thee 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 for thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast dust upon their heads, and 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 shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth; and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
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 for thee a lamentation, and shall lament over thee, saying: “What city is like Tyre, like the Destroyed 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 went forth from the seas, thou didst satisfy many nations; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the abundance of thy riches and thy 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 thou art broken by the seas in the depth of the waters, and thy merchandise and all thy multitude in the midst of thee are 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 isles are astonished at thee, and their kings shudder; 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 nations hiss at thee. Thou art a desolation, and shalt exist no more forever.”
