Ezekyèl 28
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote M ankò e te di:
A message from 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—
“Son of man, tell the ruler of Tyre this is what the Lord God says: You are so proud of yourself, saying, ‘I'm a god! I sit on my throne like a god in the middle of the sea.’ But you're only a man. You're not a god, even though you think you are one.
3 gade byen, ou pi saj ke Daniel. Nanpwen sekrè ki twò difisil pou ou.
You even think you're wiser than Daniel and there's no secret that's hidden from you!
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.
Yes, you have used your wisdom and cleverness to make yourself rich, collecting plenty of gold and silver for your treasury.
5 Ak gwo sajès ou, ak komès ou, ou te vin ogmante richès ou e kè ou vin leve akoz richès ou yo—”
You became wealthy through your superb trading skills, but your wealth only made you proud.
6 “‘Akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz ou te fè kè ou tankou kè Bondye,
So this is what the Lord God says: Because you think that you're a 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.
watch as I bring foreigners to attack you. They are more cruel than any other nation. They will use their swords to destroy you and your wonderful wisdom; they will humble your proud glory.
8 Yo va mennen ou desann nan twou fòs la, e ou va mouri lanmò a sila ki touye nan kè lanmè yo.
They will drag you down into the grave. You will die horribly out there in 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.
Are you still going to claim, ‘I'm a god,’ to those who are killing you? You'll just be another human victim, not a god, in the eyes of your attackers.
10 Ou va mouri lanmò a ensikonsi yo, nan men etranje yo, paske Mwen te pale,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a!’”
You will be killed like some vile person by these foreigners. I myself have spoken, declares the Lord God.”
11 Ankò pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Another message from 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, sing a funeral song for the king of Tyre and tell him this is what the Lord God says: Once you were complete and perfect, full of wisdom and flawless in 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.
You were there in Eden, God's garden. You wore all kinds of precious stones: carnelian, topaz, and amethyst; beryl, onyx, and jasper; lapis lazuli, turquoise, and emerald. They were placed in gold mountings and settings using skilled craftsmanship, and were made on the day when you were created.
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.
I gave you the position of guardian cherub, and I anointed you. You lived on God's holy mountain and you walked among 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.
You were innocent in everything you did from the day you were created until you were found to be doing evil.
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.
You were so busy with all your trading schemes that they destroyed you inside, leading you to sin and filling you with violence. So I sent you away in disgrace from God's mountain, and I removed you from your position as guardian cherub from your place among 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.
You became proud because of your beauty, you ruined your wisdom because you thought you were so wonderful. So I threw you down to the ground and I made sure kings saw what happened to you.
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.
By all your sins and your dishonest trading you have made your sanctuaries unclean. So I had fire come from inside you, and it burned you up. I turned you into ashes on the ground as everybody there watched.
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.”’”
All who know you among the nations are horrified at what happened to you. Disaster has brought you down and you're finished forever.”
20 Pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
21 “Fis a lòm, mete figi ou vè Sidon. Pwofetize kont li,
“Son of man, face towards Sidon and prophesy against her.
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.
Tell them this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, Sidon, for I'm condemning you, and I will be vindicated by what happens to you. People will know that I am the Lord when I punish her and show my holy character through her experience.
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.
I'm going to send a disease to plague her, and have people killed in her streets. Those who are killed will fall inside the city as the enemy attacks with swords from every side. Then they will 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.”
The people of Israel will no longer have to put up with these people who are thorns in their side, painful brambles and sharp thorns who treat Israel with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord God.
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.
This is what the Lord God says: When I bring back the people of Israel from the nations where they've been scattered. I will show my holy character through them as everyone watches. Then they will live in their own country, 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.”’”
They will live there in safety, building houses and planting vineyards. They will live there in safety when I punish all those around them who treat them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the Lord their God.”
