Ezekyèl 34

1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:

And the word of the Lord came vnto 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?

Sonne of man, prophesie against the shepherdes of Israel, prophesie and say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God vnto the shepherds, Wo be vnto the shepherds of Israel, that feede them selues: should not the shepherds feede the flockes?

3 Nou manje grès e fè abiman ak len an. Nou kòche mouton gra a, san bay manje a bann mouton an.

Yee eate the fat, and yee clothe you with the wooll: yee kill them that are fed, but ye feede not the sheepe.

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.

The weake haue ye not strengthened: the sicke haue ye not healed, neither haue ye bounde vp the broken, nor brought againe that which was driuen away, neither haue yee sought that which was lost, but with crueltie, and with rigour haue yee ruled them.

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 they were scattered without a shepherde: and when they were dispersed, they were deuoured of all the beastes of the fielde.

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 sheepe wandred through all the mountaines, and vpon euery hie hill: yea, my flocke was scattered through al the earth, and none did seeke or search after them.

7 “‘Pou sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:

Therefore ye shepherds, heare the woorde 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 liue, sayeth the Lord God, surely because my flocke was spoyled, and my sheepe were deuoured of all the beasts of the fielde, hauing no shepherde, neither did my shepherdes seeke my sheepe, but the shepherdes fedde them selues, and fedde not my sheepe,

9 Akoz sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:”

Therefore, heare ye the word of the Lord, O ye shepherds.

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 saieth the Lord God, Behold, I come against the shepherds, and will require my sheepe at their hands, and cause them to cease from feeding the sheepe: neither shall the shepherds feede them selues any more: for I wil deliuer my sheepe from their mouthes, and they shall no more deuoure 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 sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, I will search my sheepe, and seeke them out.

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.

As a shepherd searcheth out his flocke, when he hath bene among his sheepe that are scattered, so wil I seeke out my sheepe and wil deliuer them out of all places, where they haue beene scattered in the cloudie and darke day,

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 bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countreis, and will bring them to their owne lande, and feede them vpon the mountaines of Israel, by the riuers, and in all the inhabited places of the countrey.

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 feede them in a good pasture, and vpon the hie mountaines of Israel shall their folde be: there shall they lie in a good folde and in fat pasture shall they feede vpon the mountaines 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 feede my sheepe, and bring them to their rest, sayth 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 seeke that which was lost, and bring againe that which was driue away, and will binde vp that which was broken, and will strengthen the weake but I wil destroy the fat and the strong, and I will feede them with iudgement.

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.

Also you my sheepe, Thus saieth the Lord God, behold, I iudge betweene sheepe, and sheepe, betweene the rammes and the goates.

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?

Seemeth it a small thing vnto you to haue eaten vp the good pasture, but yee must treade downe with your feete the residue of your pasture? and to haue drunke of the deepe waters, but yee must trouble the residue with your feete?

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 sheepe eate that which yee haue troden with your feete, and drinke that which ye haue troubled with your feete.

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.

Therefore thus sayth the Lord God vnto them, behold, I, euen I wil iudge betweene the fat sheepe and the leane sheepe.

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,

Because ye haue thrust with side and with shoulder, and pusht al the weake with your hornes, till ye haue scattered them abroade,

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.

Therefore wil I helpe my sheepe, and they shall no more be spoyled, and I wil iudge betweene sheepe and sheepe.

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 wil set vp a shepherd ouer them, and he shall feede them, euen my seruant Dauid, he shall feede them, and he shalbe 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 seruant Dauid shalbe the prince amog them. I the Lord haue spoken it.

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 with them a couenant of peace, and will cause the euil beastes to cease out of the land: and they shall dwel safely in the wildernesse, and sleepe in the woods.

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 wil set them, as a blessing, euen roud about my mountaine: and I will cause rayne to come downe in due season, and there shalbe raine 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 fielde shall yeeld her fruite, and the earth shall giue her fruite, and they shalbe safe in their land, and shall know that I am the Lord, when I haue broken the cordes of their yoke, and deliuered them out of the hands of those that serued themselues of 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 shall no more be spoyled of the heathen, neither shall the beastes of the land deuoure them, but they shall dwell safely and none shall make them afrayd.

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 rayse vp for them a plant of renoume, and they shalbe no more consumed with hunger in the land, neither beare the reproche of the heathen any more.

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.

Thus shall they vnderstande, that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, euen the house of Israel, are my people, sayth 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.”

And yee my sheepe, the sheepe of my pasture are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord God.
