Ezekyèl 34
1 Pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
And the word of Jehovah 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 against the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say to them, to the shepherds, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Woe to the shepherds of Israel, who feed themselves! Should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
3 Nou manje grès e fè abiman ak len an. Nou kòche mouton gra a, san bay manje a bann mouton an.
Ye eat the fat, and ye clothe you with the wool, ye kill that which is fatted; but ye feed not the flock.
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 weak do ye not strengthen, and the sick do ye not heal, and the wounded do ye not bind up; ye bring not back that which hath been driven away, neither seek ye that which hath been lost; but with force and with cruelty do ye rule 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.
Therefore are they scattered abroad, because there is no shepherd, and they are food to all the beasts of the field, or are scattered abroad.
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 wander through all the mountains, and upon every high hill; yea, over the whole face of the land is my flock scattered, and none careth for them, or seeketh them.
7 “‘Pou sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah:
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, saith the Lord Jehovah, surely, because my flock is become a prey, and my flock is become meat to all the beasts of the field because there is no shepherd, and because my shepherds search not for my flock, and feed themselves, and feed not my flock, —
9 Akoz sa, nou menm ki bèje yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a:”
therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of Jehovah.
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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against the shepherds, and I will require my flock at their hand, and cause them to cease from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more; for I will deliver my flock from their mouth, and they shall not be meat 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold I, even I, will seek my flock, and look after 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.
as a shepherd looketh after his flock in the day when he is among his sheep that are scattered, so will I look after my sheep, and will deliver them out of all the places where they have been scattered in the day of clouds 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 bring them out from the nations, and gather them from the countries; and I will bring them to their own land, and feed them upon the mountains of Israel, in the valleys, and in all the dwelling-places 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 a good pasture, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall their fold be; there shall they lie down in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed upon 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 flock, and I will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 that which was lost, and bring back that which was driven away, and will bind up that which was broken, and will strengthen the sick; but the fat and the strong will I destroy; I will feed them as they deserve.
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.
And as for you, O my sheep, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will judge between the weak of the flock and the strong ones, even the rams and the 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?
Seemeth it a small thing to you to eat up the good pasture, but ye must tread down with your feet the residue of your pastures? and to drink of the clear waters, but ye must foul the residue 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 that my sheep eat that which ye have trodden with your feet, and drink that which ye have fouled with your feet?
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 saith the Lord Jehovah to them: Behold I, even I, will judge between the fat and the lean of the flock.
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 thrust with your side and with your shoulder, and push all the weak with your horns, till ye scatter them 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.
therefore will I save my sheep, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between sheep and sheep.
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 one shepherd over them, and he shall feed them, even my servant David; he shall feed them, and he shall 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, Jehovah, will be their God, and my servant David a prince among them. I, Jehovah, have 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 covenant of peace, and will cause evil beasts to cease out of the land, so that they shall dwell safely in the desert, and sleep 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 will make them, and the places round about my hill, a blessing; and I will cause the shower to come down in its season; showers rich in blessings shall there be.
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 shall yield her fruit, and the earth shall yield her increase; and they shall be secure in their land, and shall know that I am Jehovah, when I shall break the bands of their yoke and deliver them out of the hand of them that made them servants.
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 a prey to the nations, neither shall the beasts of the land devour them; but they shall dwell in security, and none shall make them afraid.
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 plantation for my glory; and they shall no more be consumed with hunger in the land, neither shall they bear the reproach of the nations 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.
Then shall they know, that I, Jehovah, their God, am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Jehovah.
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 ye, my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, and I am your God, saith the Lord Jehovah.
