Ezekyèl 29
1 Nan dizyèm ane, nan dizyèm mwa, nan douz nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Fis a lòm, mete figi ou kont Farawon, wa Égypte la, e pwofetize kont li ak tout Égypte.
Son of man, set your face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:
3 Pale e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a, “Gade byen, Mwen kont ou, Farawon, wa Égypte, gwo mons la ki kouche nan mitan rivyè li yo, k ap di: ‘Rivyè Nil lan se pou mwen e se mwen menm ki te fè li.’
and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
4 Mwen va mete gwo kwòk nan machwè ou e fè pwason larivyè ou yo vin kole sou kal ou yo. Konsa, Mwen va rale fè ou sòti nan mitan rivyè ou yo, ansanm ak tout pwason larivyè ou yo k ap kole sou kal ou yo.
And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river:
5 Mwen va jete ou lwen nan dezè a, ou menm ak tout pwason rivyè ou yo. Ou va tonbe nan chan ouvri. Ou p ap rasanble ni reyini ankò. Mwen te bay ou kon manje bèt latè ak zwazo syèl yo.
and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
6 “‘“Konsa, tout moun ki rete an Égypte va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a. Paske yo te sèlman yon gòl fèt ak wozo pou lakay Israël.
And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Lè yo te kenbe ou nan men yo, ou te kraze e chire tout men ak zepòl yo, Epi lè yo te apiye sou ou, ou te kraze kwis yo.”
When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.
8 “‘Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va mennen sou ou nepe a, e Mwen va koupe retire nèt de ou ni moun, ni bèt.
Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;
9 Peyi Égypte va devni yon dezolasyon ak yon savann dezole. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a. “‘“Paske ou te di: ‘Larivyè Nil lan se pou mwen e mwen te fè l.’
and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
10 Pou sa, gade byen, Mwen kont ou, e Mwen kont rivyè ou yo. Mwen va fè peyi Égypte vin yon savann dezole ak yon dezolasyon, soti Migdol jis rive Syène, menm pou rive nan lizyè Éthiopie.
Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
11 Pye a moun p ap pase ladann, pye a bèt p ap pase ladann, e l ap rete san moun pandan karantan.
No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.
12 Konsa, Mwen va fè peyi Égypte vin yon dezolasyon nan mitan peyi ki dezole yo. Vil li yo, nan mitan a vil ki fin devaste nèt yo, yo va dezole pandan karantan. Mwen va gaye Ejipsyen yo pami nasyon yo, e lage yo toupatou pami peyi yo.”
And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt amongst the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.
13 “‘Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan fen karantan an, Mwen va rasanble Ejipsyen yo soti nan pèp kote yo te gaye yo.
Thus says the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations amongst whom they have been scattered;
14 Mwen va ranvèse fòtin li yo, e fè yo retounen nan peyi Pathros, nan peyi orijin yo. La, yo va rete yon wayòm ki fèb.
and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
15 Li va pi fèb pami wayòm yo e li p ap janm leve tèt li ankò kon chèf lòt nasyon yo. Mwen va fè yo tèlman vin piti ke yo p ap renye sou lòt nasyon yo.
and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] amongst the nations.
16 Konsa, li p ap janm sèvi ankò kon konfyans pou lakay Israël la, pou l pa kontinyepote nan tèt yo, inikite lè yo te vire kote Égypte la. Epi yo va konnen ke Mwen se Senyè BONDYE a.”’”
And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Alò, nan venn-setyèm ane, nan premye mwa, nan premye jou nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 “Fis a lòm, Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan, te fè lame li a travay di kont Tyr; tout tèt te vin chòv e tout epòl te fwote vin fè maleng. Men li menm ak lame li pa t reyisi salè soti nan Tyre pou travay li te fè kont li an.
Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.
19 Akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va bay peyi Égypte a Nebucadnetsar, wa Babylone nan. Epi li va pote fè ale tout pèp li yo, kaptire donmaj li yo, e sezi li kon piyaj. Sa a va sèvi kon salè pou lame li a.
Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward for his army.
20 Mwen te bay li peyi Égypte pou travay ke li te fè a, paske yo te aji pou Mwen,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God:
21 “Nan jou sa a, Mwen va fè yon kòn vin pouse pou lakay Israël, e Mwen va ouvri bouch ou nan mitan yo. Epi konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”
In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
