Ezekyèl 34
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 “Fis a lòm, pwofetize kont bèje Israël yo. Pwofetize e di a bèje sila yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Malè, bèje Israël yo k ap nouri pwòp tèt yo! Èske bèje yo pa dwe bay manje a bann mouton an?
“Son of man, prophesy about the shepherds of Israel. Prophesy, and you shall say to the shepherds: Thus says the Lord God: Woe to the shepherds of Israel who feed themselves! Should not the flocks be fed by the shepherds?
3 Nou manje grès e fè abiman ak len an. Nou kòche mouton gra a, san bay manje a bann mouton an.
You consumed the milk, and you covered yourselves with the wool, and you killed what was fattened. But my flock you did not feed.
4 Sila ki manke lasante yo, nou pa t ranfòse yo. Sa ki malad yo, nou pa t geri yo. Sa ki brize yo nou pa t panse yo. Sa ki gaye yo, nou pa t mennen yo retounen, ni nou pa t chache sa ki pèdi yo. Men ak opresyon e ak severite, nou te domine sou yo.
What was weak, you have not strengthened, and what was sick, you have not healed. What was broken, you have not bound, and what was cast aside, you have not led back again, and what was lost, you have not sought. Instead, you ruled over them with severity and with power.
5 Yo te gaye akoz yo te manke yon bèje. Yo te devni manje pou tout bèt sovaj nan chan a, e yo te vin gaye nèt.
And my sheep were scattered, because there was no shepherd. And they became devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, and they were dispersed.
6 Bann mouton Mwen an te mache egare nan tout mòn yo, ak sou tout wo kolin yo. Bann mouton Mwen an te gaye sou tout sifas tè a, e pa t gen moun pou ale jwenn yo, ni chache yo.”
My sheep have wandered to every mountain and to every exalted hill. And my flocks have been scattered across the face of the earth. And there was no one who sought them; there was no one, I say, who sought them.
7 “‘Pou sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:
Because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:
8 “Jan Mwen viv la,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “anverite, akoz bann mouton Mwen an te vin viktim, bann mouton Mwen an te menm vin manje pa tout bèt chan yo, akoz yo te manke yon bèje. Bèje Mwen yo pa t chache bann mouton Mwen an, men bèje Mwen yo te nouri pwòp tèt pa yo. Konsa, yo pa t bay manje a bann mouton Mwen an.
As I live, says the Lord God, since my flocks have become a prey, and my sheep have been devoured by all the wild beasts of the field, since there was no shepherd, for my shepherds did not seek my flock, but instead the shepherds fed themselves, and they did not feed my flocks:
9 Akoz sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:”
because of this, O shepherds, listen to the word of the Lord:
10 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen kont bèje yo, Mwen va egzije mouton Mwen yo nan men yo, e fè yo sispann bay manje a mouton yo. Konsa bèje yo p ap bay pwòp tèt yo manje ankò, men Mwen va delivre bann mouton Mwen an soti nan bouch yo, pou yo ka pa sèvi kon manje pou yo ankò.”
Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will be over the shepherds. I will require my flock at their hand, and I will cause them to cease, so that they no longer refrain from feeding the flock. Neither will the shepherds feed themselves any more. And I will deliver my flock from their mouth; and it will no longer be food for them.
11 “‘Paske konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Gade byen, Mwen va chache mouton Mwen yo pou kont Mwen, e Mwen va chache jwenn yo.
For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I myself will seek my sheep, and I myself will visit them.
12 Kon yon bèje konn pran swen bann mouton li nan jou ke li pami mouton ki gaye yo, konsa Mwen va pran swen mouton Mwen yo. Epi Mwen va delivre yo soti de tout peyi ke yo te gaye yo nan jou gwo nwaj ki te plen tristès la.
Just as a shepherd visits his flock, in the day when he will be in the midst of his sheep that were scattered, so will I visit my sheep. And I will deliver them from all the places to which they had been scattered in the day of gloom and darkness.
13 Mwen va mennen yo sòti pami pèp yo, rasanble yo soti nan peyi yo, e mennen yo nan pwòp peyi yo. Konsa, Mwen va bay yo manje sou mòn Israël yo, akote sous dlo yo ak tout kote ki abite nan peyi a.
And I will lead them away from the peoples, and I will gather them from the lands, and I will bring them into their own land. And I will pasture them on the mountains of Israel, by the rivers, and in all the settlements of the land.
14 Mwen va bay yo manje nan yon bon patiraj e pak kote yo manje a, va sou wotè mòn Israël yo. Nan yon bon pak yo va kouche. Yo va manje sou patiraj rich nan mòn Israël yo.
I will feed them in very fertile pastures, and their pastures will be on the lofty mountains of Israel. There they will rest on the green grass, and they will be fed in the fat pastures, on the mountains of Israel.
15 Mwen va bay manje a bann mouton pa M nan e Mwen va mennen yo nan repo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
I will feed my sheep, and I will cause them to lie down, says the Lord God.
16 “Mwen va chache sila ki pèdi yo, mennen fè retounen sila ki gaye yo, panse sila ki blese yo, e ranfòse sa ki te malad. Men sila ki gra ak gwo fòs yo, Mwen va detwi yo. Mwen va bay yo manje nan jistis.”’
I will seek what had been lost. And I will lead back again what had been cast aside. And I will bind up what had been broken. And I will strengthen what had been infirm. And I will preserve what was fat and strong. And I will feed them on judgment.
17 “Epi pou nou menm, bann Mwen an, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen va jije antre yon mouton ak yon lòt, antre belye ak mal kabrit.
But as for you, O my flocks, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I judge between cattle and cattle, among rams and among he-goats.
18 Èske se yon bagay ki twò piti pou nou, pou nou ta manje nan bon patiraj, pou nou oblije foule anba pye nou rès patiraj nou yo? Oswa pou ou ta bwè nan dlo ki pwòp yo, pou ou oblije foule tout lòt yo ak pye nou?
Was it not enough for you to feed upon good pastures? For you even trample with your feet upon the remainder of your pastures. And when you drank the purist water, you disturbed the remainder with your feet.
19 Pou bann mouton Mwen yo, oblije manje sa ke ou foule ak pye, e bwè sa ke ou fè vin sal ak pye ou!’
And my sheep were pastured from what you had trampled with your feet, and they drank from what your feet had disturbed.
20 “Akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a a yo menm: ‘Gade byen, Mwen menm, Mwen va fè jijman antre mouton gra ak mouton mèg yo.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God to you: Behold, I myself am judging between the fat cattle and the lean.
21 Akoz nou pouse ak bò kote e ak zepòl la, e lanse kòn sou tout sila ki fèb yo, jiskaske nou fin gaye yo a letranje,
For you have pushed with your sides and shoulders, and you have threatened all the weak cattle with your horns, until they were scattered abroad.
22 pou sa, Mwen va delivre bann mouton Mwen an e yo p ap viktim ankò. Epi Mwen va jije antre yon mouton ak yon lòt.
I will save my flock, and it will no longer be a prey, and I will judge between cattle and cattle.
23 Konsa, Mwen va plase sou yo yon sèl bèje, sèvitè Mwen an, David e li va bay yo manje. Li va bay yo manje li menm e li va vin bèje yo.
And I will raise up over them ONE SHEPHERD, who will feed them, my servant David. He himself will feed them, and he will be their shepherd.
24 Epi Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, va vin Bondye yo, e sèvitè Mwen an, David, va prens pami yo. Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, fin pale.
And I, the Lord, will be their God. And my servant David will be the leader in their midst. I, the Lord, have spoken.
25 “‘Mwen va fè yon akò lapè ak yo e retire bèt sovaj sou peyi a pou yo ka viv ansekirite nan dezè a, e dòmi byen nan forè a.
And I will make a covenant of peace with them. And I will cause the very harmful beasts to cease from the land. And those who are living in the desert will sleep securely in the forests.
26 Mwen va fè yo menm ak tout kote ki antoure kolin Mwen yo vin yon benediksyon. Epi Mwen va fè bèl lapli tonbe, e lapli sa a va yon lapli ki pote benediksyon.
And I will make them a blessing all around my hill. And I will send the rain in due time; there will be showers of blessing.
27 Anplis, pyebwa nan chan yo va donnen fwi yo. Latè a va donnen pwodwi li, e yo va ansekirite nan peyi yo. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, lè M fin kase fè jouk yo a, e delivre yo soti nan men a sila ki te fè yo esklav yo.
And the tree of the field will yield its fruit, and the land will yield its crop. And they will be in their own land without fear. And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have crushed the chains of their yoke, and when I will have rescued them from the hand of those who rule over them.
28 Yo p ap viktim a nasyon yo ankò, e bèt latè yo p ap devore yo ankò. Men yo va viv ansekirite e pèsòn p ap fè yo pè.
And they will no longer be a prey to the Gentiles, nor will the wild beasts of the earth devour them. Instead, they will live in confidence without any terror.
29 Mwen va etabli pou yo yon plantasyon ki plen rekonesans. Yo p ap viktim a gwo grangou ankò, ni yo p ap sipòte ensilt a nasyon yo ankò.
And I will raise up for them a renowned branch. And they will be no longer be diminished by famine in the land, nor will they carry any longer the reproach of the Gentiles.
30 Nan lè sa a, yo va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Bondye pa yo avèk yo e ke yo menm, lakay Israël la, se pèp Mwen, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
And they shall know that I, the Lord their God, am with them, and that they are my people, the house of Israel, says the Lord God.
31 Pou nou menm, mouton Mwen yo, mouton a patiraj pa Mwen yo, nou se lòm e Mwen se Bondye nou,’ deklare Senyè BONDYE a.”
For you are my flocks; the flocks of my pasture are men. And I am the Lord your God, says the Lord God.”
