Ezekyèl 32
1 Nan douzyèm ane, nan douzyèm mwa, nan premye nan mwa a, “pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
Almost twelve years [after we had been taken to Babylonia], on the first day of the twelfth month [of that year], Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 ‘Fis a lòm, leve fè lamantasyon sou Farawon, wa Égypte la. Di li: “Ou te konpare tèt ou ak yon jenn lyon nasyon yo; sepandan, ou tankou yon gwo bèt sovaj lanmè a. Ou pete vin parèt nan rivyè ou yo. Ou te fè labou vin leve ak pye ou yo, e te fè larivyè pa yo vin sal nèt.”
“You human, sing a sad/funeral song about the king of Egypt. Sing this to him: ‘You [think that you] [IRO] are like [SIM] a lion among the nations; or like [SIM] a monster/crocodile in the river thrashing around in the water, churning/stirring up the water with your feet and causing the water to become muddy.
3 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Koulye a, Mwen va ouvri filè Mwen sou ou avèk konpanyen a anpil moun, e nan filè Mwen an, yo va fè ou leve.
But this is what Yahweh the Lord says: “I will send many people to throw my net over you, and they will haul/drag you up [onto the land] in my net.
4 Mwen va kite ou sou latè. Mwen va jete ou sou chan ouvri, epi Mwen va fè tout zwazo syèl yo poze sou ou. Mwen va fè tout bèt sou latè yo vin satisfè sou ou.
They will throw you into a field [DOU] [to die]; I will allow the birds to sit on you, and all the wild animals will eat the flesh of your corpse until their stomachs are full.
5 Mwen va lage chè ou sou mòn yo, e Mwen va plen vale yo ak kadav ou yo.
I will cause them to scatter your flesh on the hills and fill the valleys with your bones.
6 Anplis, Mwen va fè tè a bwè san ou. L ap rive jis nan mòn yo. Kous dlo yo va vin plen ak ou.
I will cause them to fill the land with your blood, all the way to the mountains, and the ravines will be filled with your flesh.
7 Konsa, lè M etenn ou, Mwen va kouvri syèl yo e fè zetwal yo fènwa. Mwen va kouvri solèy la ak yon nwaj, e lalin nan p ap bay limyè.
When I get rid of you, I will cover the sky and not allow the stars to shine. I will put a dark cloud in front of the sun, and the moon will not shine.
8 Tout limyè k ap briye nan syèl la, Mwen va fè yo vin nwa sou ou, e va mete fènwa sou peyi ou a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
I will cause the stars in the sky to be dark, and there will be darkness over your entire land; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, have said it.
9 “Anplis, Mwen va twouble kè a anpil nasyon, lè Mwen mennen destriksyon ou pami nasyon yo, jis rive nan peyi ke ou pa t janm konnen.
And when the people of many nations hear about your being destroyed, many of them will be afraid/worried— people living in countries that you have never known about.
10 Mwen va fè anpil pèp vin etone sezi de ou, e wa yo va tèlman gen gwo laperèz pou ou, lè M fè nepe M parèt devan yo akoz ou menm. Yo va tranble tout tan, chak moun pou pwòp lavi li, nan jou ke ou tonbe a.”
I will cause many people to be appalled because of [what has happened to] you, and their kings will be horrified and shudder/shake because of your [being destroyed], when I swing my sword in front of them. At the time that you will be destroyed, all of them will tremble, fearing that they also will be killed.”
11 Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nepe a wa Babylone nan va vini sou ou.
This is what Yahweh the Lord says: “The swords of [the army of] the King of Babylon will strike you.
12 Pa nepe a pwisan yo, Mwen va fè gwo foul lame ou yo tonbe. Yo tout se chèf sovaj pami nasyon yo. Yo va devaste ògèy Égypte la, e tout gwo foul lame li yo va detwi.
I will cause very many of your people to be killed by the swords of mighty soldiers [from Babylonia], who are more ruthless/cruel than the soldiers of all other nations. They will cause the people of Egypt to quit being proud, because very many [HYP] of their people will be killed.
13 Anplis, Mwen va detwi tout bèt ki rete bò kote anpil dlo li yo. Pye moun p ap gaye labou ankò, ni zago a bèt p ap gaye labou ankò.
I will destroy all the cattle in Egypt that (graze/eat grass) alongside the streams. As a result, the water in those streams will never again become muddy because of people and cattle walking in them.
14 Konsa, Mwen va fè dlo yo vin kalm e fè rivyè yo vin kouri kon lwil,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
Then I will allow the streams in Egypt to become calm again and flow [as smoothly] [SIM] as olive oil flows.
15 “Lè Mwen fè peyi Égypte vin yon dezolasyon, e peyi a vin pèdi tout sa ki te fè l plen yo, lè M frape tout sila ki rete ladann yo, alò, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
When I cause Egypt to become empty/desolate and strip off everything that grows on the land, and when I get rid of all the people who live there, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”’
16 “‘“Sa se yon lamantasyon. Ak li menm, y ap fè dèy. Fi a nasyon yo va chante li. Sou Égypte ak sou tout gwo foul lame li yo, yo va chante li”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
That sad song about Egypt will also be sung by the people. Women of many nations will sing it. They will chant it about Egypt and all its people; [that will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said that it would happen.”
17 Nan douzyèm ane, nan kenz nan mwa a, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
On the fifteenth day of that same month, Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
18 “Fis a lòm, rele anmwey pou gwo foul a Égypte yo. Desann yo menm ak fi a nasyon pwisan yo, jis rive nan pwofondè tè a, ansanm avèk sila ki desann nan twou fòs yo.
“You human, wail about the many people of Egypt, because I will send them to the place under the earth, where they and people of other mighty nations will be. I will send them there, along with others, down to the place where the dead are.
19 ‘Se ki moun ou depase nan bèlte? Desann, fè kabann ou ak ensikonsi yo.’
Say to them, ‘You people of [APO] Egypt, [you think that] [IRO, RHQ] you are more beautiful than the people of other nations. But you also will descend to the place where the godless dead people are.
20 Yo va tonbe nan mitan sila ki touye pa nepe yo. Fi a vin livre pou nepe a. Fè l rale soti ak tout gwo foul li yo.
[Your enemies] will pull out their swords and kill many of you. A huge number of the people of Egypt who remain will be dragged away.
21 Pi gran pami pwisan yo va pale ak li nan mitan sejou mò yo ansanm ak sila ki t ap ede li yo. ‘Yo fin desann, yo kouche san fè mouvman, ensikonsi yo, touye pa nepe yo.’ (Sheol h7585)
In the place where the dead people are, mighty leaders [of other countries] will [make fun of the people of Egypt] and say, “They have come here to lie with us godless people who were killed by our enemies’ swords!”’ (Sheol h7585)
22 “Assyrie, li la, ak tout konpanyen li yo. Tonbo li yo antoure li. Yo tout touye, tonbe pa nepe,
[The corpses of the people of] Assyria will be there. They will be surrounded by [corpses of] soldiers who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
23 tonbo a sila ki plase nan pati pi izole twou fòs la. Epi konpanyen li yo antoure tonbo li. Yo tout te touye, tonbe akoz nepe a; tout sila ki te fè gwo laperèz gaye nan peyi moun vivan yo.
The people’s graves are there in the deep pit, and [corpses of soldiers of] their army lie around their graves. Corpses of all those who had caused many others in other places to be terrified also will be there, having been killed by swords.
24 “Élam la ak tout gwo foul li yo ki antoure tonbo li a. Yo tout mouri, tonbe pa nepe, e te desann ensikonsi nan pati piba latè yo; sila ki te kreye gwo laperèz nan tout peyi moun vivan yo, e te pote wont yo, ansanm avèk sila ki te desann nan twou fòs yo.
A great number of the people of Elam will be there. They also were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They had caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified. At that time they will lie there in that deep pit below the earth, and they, along with the others who have gone there, will be disgraced.
25 Yo fè kabann Elam nan pami sila ki touye ak tout gwo foul li yo. Tonbo yo antoure li. Yo tout se ensikonsi, touye pa nepe. Paske se gwo laperèz yo te kreye nan peyi moun vivan yo, e konsa, yo te pote wont yo avèk sila ki desann nan twou fòs yo. Yo rive nan mitan sila ki te touye yo.
They will lie there among others who were slaughtered, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of other people. While they were alive, they caused people of other nations to be terrified; but they were godless, and now, having been killed by [their enemies] swords, they will lie with others in that deep pit, disgraced, all of them avoiding each other.
26 “Méschec Tubal, ak tout gwo foul yo la. Tonbo yo antoure yo. Yo tout se ensikonsi, touye pa nepe. Paske se gwo laperèz yo te kreye nan peyi moun vivan yo.
[Corpses of] soldiers of Meshech and Tubal will be there, surrounded by the graves of a huge crowd of their people. They were all godless people who were killed by swords because while they were alive, they also caused people in many places [HYP] to be terrified.
27 Ni yo pa p kouche akote chèf pwisan a ensikonsi yo, sila ki te desann nan sejou mò yo ak zam lagè yo, ak nepe yo byen plase anba tèt yo. Men inikite yo te rete menm sou zo yo; sepandan, se pi pwisan yo te teworize nan peyi moun vivan yo. (Sheol h7585)
They will surely [RHQ] not be buried honorably like the soldiers who have died, whose shields were buried with their corpses, whose swords were placed on their skulls in the graves. While those godless people were alive, they had caused many people in the land to be terrified, so they were punished for their sins. (Sheol h7585)
28 “Men nan mitan ensikonsi a, ou va vin kraze, e kouche avèk sila ki te touye pa nepe yo.
You king of Egypt, you also be killed and will lie there with other godless people who have been killed by [their enemies’] swords.
29 “La tou, gen Édom, wa li ak tout prens li yo, ki malgre tout pwisans yo, vin kouche avèk sila ki te touye pa nepe yo. Yo va kouche avèk ensikonsi yo e avèk sila ki desann nan twou fòs yo.
People of the Edom people-group will be there, along with their kings and leaders. They were powerful, but they will [be killed and] lie there in the place where the other dead people are. They will lie there in that deep pit, with the other godless people.
30 “La tou, gen chèf lanò yo, yo tout ak tout Sidonyen yo. Malgre tout gwo laperèz yo te kreye akoz pwisans yo, nan wont, yo te desann avèk sila ki te touye yo. Konsa, yo te kouche ensikonsi avèk sila ki te touye pa nepe yo, e te pote gwo wont yo avèk lòt yo ki desann nan twou fòs yo.
All the rulers of countries north [of Israel], including people from Sidon, will be there. Because of their power, they caused people to be terrified, but they will lie there. They were godless, and they will lie there along with others who were killed by [their enemies’] swords. They, along with everyone else who descends into that deep pit, will be disgraced.
31 “Sa yo, Farawon va wè e li va twouve konsolasyon pou tout gwo foul li yo ki te touye pa nepe yo, menm Farawon ak tout lame li a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
The king of Egypt and all his army will see them, and they will be comforted to know that there were other huge groups of people who were killed by [their enemies’] swords.
32 Sepandan, Mwen te mete gwo laperèz li nan peyi moun vivan yo. Malgre sa, li va kouche ak ensikonsi yo, avèk sila ki te touye pa nepe yo, menm Farawon ak tout gwo lame li yo”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
While he was living, I allowed him to cause others in many countries to be terrified, but he and his huge army will be there among other godless people who had been killed by [their enemies’] swords. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh the Lord, am the one who has said [that it would happen].”
