Ezekyèl 28
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote M ankò e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 “Fis a lòm, pale ak chèf Tyr la: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a, “Akoz kè ou vin leve, e ou te di: ‘Mwen se yon dye, Mwen chita sou chèz Bondye, nan kè lanmè yo’; malgre, ou se yon nonm e ou pa yon dye; sepandan, ou ta fè kè ou tankou kè Bondye—
And thou, son of man, say to the prince of Tyrus, Thus saith the Lord; Because thine heart has been exalted, and thou hast said, I am God, I have inhabited the dwelling of God in the heart of the sea; yet thou art man and not God, though thou hast set thine heart as the heart of God:
3 gade byen, ou pi saj ke Daniel. Nanpwen sekrè ki twò difisil pou ou.
art thou wiser than Daniel? or have not the wise instructed thee with their knowledge?
4 Ak sajès ou ak bon konprann ou, ou te vin genyen richès pou tèt ou, e ou te vin gen lò ak ajan pou kès trezò ou yo.
Hast thou gained power for thyself by thine [own] knowledge or thine [own] prudence, and [gotten] gold and silver in thy treasures?
5 Ak gwo sajès ou, ak komès ou, ou te vin ogmante richès ou e kè ou vin leve akoz richès ou yo—”
By thy abundant knowledge and thy traffic thou hast multiplied thy power; thy heart has been lifted up by thy power.
6 “‘Akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz ou te fè kè ou tankou kè Bondye,
Therefore thus saith the Lord; Since thou hast set thine heart as the hart of God;
7 akoz sa, gade byen, Mwen va mennen etranje yo sou ou, sila ki pi sovaj pami nasyon yo. Konsa, yo va rale nepe yo kont bèlte a sajès ou, e yo va souye gwo bèlte ou a.
because of this, behold, I [will] bring on thee strange plagues from the nations; and they shall draw their swords against thee, and against the beauty of thy knowledge,
8 Yo va mennen ou desann nan twou fòs la, e ou va mouri lanmò a sila ki touye nan kè lanmè yo.
and they shall bring down thy beauty to destruction. And they shall bring thee down; and thou shalt die the death of the slain in the heart of the sea.
9 Èske ou va di: ‘Mwen se yon dye’, nan prezans a sila ki te touye ou a? Donk, ou se yon nonm e ou pa Bondye, nan men a sila ki blese ou yo.
Wilt thou indeed say, I am God, before them that slay thee? whereas thou art man, and not God.
10 Ou va mouri lanmò a ensikonsi yo, nan men etranje yo, paske Mwen te pale,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a!’”
Thou shalt perish by the hands of strangers among the multitude of the uncircumcised: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord.
11 Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
12 “Fis a lòm, reprann lamantasyon sou wa Tyr la e di l: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Ou te genyen so pèfeksyon an, plen sajès e pafè an bèlte.
Son of man, take up a lamentation for the prince of Tyre, and say to him, Thus saith the Lord God; Thou art a seal of resemblance, and crown of beauty.
13 Ou te nan Éden, jaden Bondye a. Tout pyè presye yo te sèvi pou kouvri ou: Ribi, topaz, dyaman; krizolit, oniks, ak jasp, Safi, malachi, emwòd, epi lò. Baz kalite travay pou tout prezantasyon te nan ou. Nan jou ou te kreye a, yo te prepare.
Thou wast in the delight of the paradise of God; thou hast bound upon thee every precious stone, the sardius, and topaz, and emerald, and carbuncle, and sapphire, and jasper, and silver, and gold, and ligure, and agate, and amethyst, and chrysolite, and beryl, and onyx: and thou hast filled thy treasures and thy stores in thee with gold.
14 Ou te cheriben onksyone ki kouvri a e Mwen te plase ou la. Ou te sou mòn sen Bondye a. Ou te mache nan mitan a pyè dife yo.
From the day that thou wast created thou [wast] with the cherub: I set thee on the holy mount of God; thou wast in the midst of the stones of fire.
15 Ou te san fot nan tout chemen ou yo depi jou ou te kreye a, jis rive nan lè inikite te vin twouve nan ou a.
Thou wast faultless in thy days, from the day that thou wast created, until iniquity was found in thee.
16 Akoz gwo fòs kantite komès ou a, ou te vin ranpli anndan ou ak vyolans e ou te peche. Akoz sa, Mwen te jete ou kon pwofane sòti nan mòn Bondye a. Mwen te detwi ou, O cheriben ki kouvri a, soti nan mitan wòch dife a.
Of the abundance of thy merchandise thou hast filled thy storehouses with iniquity, and hast sinned: therefore thou hast been cast down wounded from the mount of God, and the cherub has brought thee out of the midst of the stones of fire.
17 Kè ou te vin leve wo akoz bèlte ou. Ou te fè sajès ou vin konwonpi akoz gwo bèlte ou a. Mwen te jete ou atè. Mwen te mete ou devan wa yo pou yo wè ou.
Thy heart has been lifted up because of thy beauty; thy knowledge has been corrupted with thy beauty: because of the multitude of thy sins I have cast thee to the ground, I have caused thee to be put to open shame before kings.
18 Akoz gwo fòs kantite inikite ou yo, nan enjistis de komès ou a, ou te pwofane sanktyè ou yo. Akoz sa, Mwen te mennen dife soti nan mitan ou. Li fin manje ou nèt. Mwen te fè ou vin tounen sann sou tè a devan zye a tout moun ki wè ou yo.
Because of the multitude of thy sins and the iniquities of thy merchandise, I have profaned thy sacred things; and I will bring fire out of the midst of thee, this shall devour thee; and I will make thee [to be] ashes upon thy land before all that see thee.
19 Tout moun ki rekonèt ou pami pèp yo vin etone jiskaske yo vin sezi de ou. Ou te vin yon gwo etonman laperèz, e ou va sispann egziste jis pou tout tan.”’”
And all that know thee among the nations shall groan over thee: thou art gone to destruction, and thou shalt not exist any more.
20 Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Fis a lòm, mete figi ou vè Sidon. Pwofetize kont li,
Son of man, set thy face against Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 epi di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen kont ou, O Sidon, e Mwen va vin glorifye nan mitan ou. Nan lè sa a, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè Mwen egzekite jijman ladann li, e nan li, Mwen vin sen.
and say, Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I am against thee, O Sidon; and I will be glorified in thee; and thou shalt know that I am the Lord, when I have wrought judgments in thee, and I will be sanctified in thee.
23 Paske Mwen va voye epidemi ak bèt pou ravaje chan l. San ap koule nan ri li yo. Sila ki blese yo va tonbe nan mitan li, e nepe va antoure l tout kote. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
Blood and death [shall be] in thy streets; and [men] wounded with swords shall fall in thee and on every side of thee; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
24 “‘“P ap gen pou lakay Israël ankò rakbwa pikan ni yon grenn pikan plen doulè k ap sòti nan sila ki te moke yo. Epi yo va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.”
And there shall no more be in the house of Israel a thorn of bitterness and a pricking briar proceeding from them that are round about them, who dishonoured them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
25 “‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Lè M rasanble lakay Israël soti nan pèp kote yo gaye yo, e fè sentete Mwen vin parèt nan yo devan zye a tout nasyon yo, nan lè sa a, yo va viv nan peyi ke M te bay a sèvitè Mwen an, Jacob.
Thus saith the Lord God; I will also gather Israel from the nations, among whom they have been scattered, and I will be sanctified among them, and before the peoples and nations: and they shall dwell upon their land, which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Yo va viv an sekirite ladann. Wi, yo va bati kay, plante chan rezen e viv ansekirite lè Mwen egzekite jijman sou tout sila ki moke de yo. Epi yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, Bondye yo a.”’”
Yea, they shall dwell upon it safely, and they shall build houses, and plant vineyards, and dwell securely, when I shall execute judgment on all that have dishonoured them, [even] on those [that are] round about them; and they shall know that I am the Lord their God, and the God of their fathers.
