Ezekyèl 36
1 Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, pwofetize a mòn Israël yo e di: “O mòn Israël yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
And you, son of man, prophesy to the mountains of Israel, and say to the mountains of Israel, Hear you the word of the Lord:
2 Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz lènmi an te pale kont nou, “Ah, ah!”, ak “Wo plas yo vin devni posesyon nou,”’
Thus says the Lord God; Because the enemy has said against you, Aha, the old waste places are become a possession for us:
3 akoz sa, pwofetize e di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè Bondye a: “Se ak bon rezon yo te fè nou dezole, e te kraze nou tout kote a, pou nou te vin yon posesyon a rès nasyon yo, epi nou te vin retire nan pawòl ak ti soufle nan zòrèy a pèp la.”
therefore prophesy, and say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have been dishonoured, and hated by those round about you, that you might be a possession to the remainder of the nations, and you became a byword, and a reproach to the nations:
4 Akoz sa, O, mòn Israël yo, tande pawòl a Senyè BONDYE a. Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a mòn yo ak kolin yo, a ravin yo ak vale yo, a vil dezole ki te vin viktim ak yon rizib pou rès nasyon ki antoure l yo,
therefore, you mountains of Israel, hear the word of the Lord; Thus says the Lord to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the streams, and to the valleys, and to [the places] that have been made desolate and destroyed, and to the cities that have been deserted, and have become a spoil and a trampling to the nations that were left round about;
5 akoz sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Anverite nan dife a jalouzi Mwen, Mwen te pale kont tout rès nasyon yo e kont tout Édom, ki te konfiske peyi Mwen an pou yo menm tankou yon posesyon ak yon kè ki plen ak jwa e yon nanm ki plen ak mepriz, pou yo ta ka sezi chan li yo kon piyaj.”’
therefore, thus says the Lord; Verily in the fire of my wrath have I spoken against the rest of the nations, and against all Idumea, because they have appropriated my land to themselves for a possession with joy, disregarding the lives [of the inhabitants], to destroy [it] by plunder:
6 Akoz sa, pwofetize konsènan peyi Israël la, e di a mòn e a kolin yo, a ravin yo e a vale yo: ‘konsa pale Senyè Bondye a: “Gade byen, Mwen te pale nan jalouzi Mwen ak nan chalè kòlè Mwen, akoz nou te andire ensilt a nasyon yo.”’
therefore prophesy concerning the land of Israel, and say to the mountains, and to the hills, and to the valleys, and to the forests, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I have spoken in my jealousy and in my wrath, because you have borne the reproaches of the heathen:
7 Akoz sa, pale Senyè Bondye a: “Mwen te sèmante, ‘Anverite, nasyon ki antoure nou yo va yo menm andire wont pa yo.’
therefore I will lift up my hand against the nations that are round about you; they shall bear their reproach.
8 “‘“Men nou menm, O mòn Israël yo, nou va lonje fè branch nou yo vin parèt pou pote fwi pou pèp Mwen an, Israël; paske avan anpil tan, y ap vini.
But your grapes and your fruits, O mountains of Israel, shall my people eat; for they are hoping to come.
9 Paske gade byen, Mwen pou nou, Mwen va vire kote nou, e nou va vin kiltive e plante.
For, behold, I am towards you, and I will have respect to you, and you shall be tilled and sown:
10 Mwen va fè moun miltipliye sou nou, tout lakay Israël la, tout moun ladann. Konsa, vil yo va abite e dezè yo va vin rebati.
and I will multiply men upon you, [even] all the house of Israel to the end: and the cities shall be inhabited, and the desolate land shall be built upon.
11 Mwen va miltipliye sou nou, ni moun, ni bèt. Yo va vin ogmante e yo va bay fwi, epi Mwen va fè nou peple teren an jan nou te ye avan an, e Mwen va trete nou pi byen ke avan. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.
And I will multiply men and cattle upon you; and I will cause you to dwell as at the beginning, and will treat you well, as in your former [times]: and you shall know that I am the Lord.
12 Wi, Mwen va fè mesye yo—pèp Mwen an, Israël— mache sou ou e posede ou, pou ou kapab vin eritaj pa yo pou yo pa janm retire pitit yo nan men yo ankò.”
And I will increase men upon you, [even] my people Israel; and they shall inherit you, and you shall be to them for a possession; and you shall no more be bereaved of them.
13 “‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Akoz lòt nasyon yo di nou: ‘Ou se yon pèp ki manje moun e ou te fè peye ou pèdi pitit li yo,’
Thus says the Lord God: Because they said to you, You [land] devour men, and have been bereaved of your nation;
14 Akoz sa, ou p ap manje moun ankò e ou p ap responsab pèt pitit peye ou yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
therefore you shall no more devour men, and you shall no more bereave your nation, says the Lord God.
15 “Mwen p ap kite nou koute ensilt a nasyon yo ankò, ni nou p ap pote mepriz a nasyon yo ankò, ni ou p ap fè nasyon pa w vin chite ankò”, deklare Senyè BONDYE a.’”
And there shall no more be heard against you the reproach of the nations, and you shall no more bear the revilings of the peoples, says the Lord God.
16 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 “Fis a lòm, lè lakay Israël t ap viv nan pwòp peyi yo, yo te souye li ak chemen pa yo ak zak yo. Chemen yo devan M pa t pwòp tankou yon fanm nan lè règ li.
Son of man, the house of Israel lived upon their land, and defiled it by their way, and with their idols, and with their uncleannesses; and their way was before me like the uncleanness of a removed woman.
18 Akoz sa, Mwen te vide chalè kòlè Mwen sou yo pou san ke yo te vèse sou peyi a, akoz yo te souye li ak zidòl yo.
So I poured out my wrath upon them:
19 Anplis, Mwen te gaye yo pami nasyon yo, e yo te vin dispèse toupatou nan peyi yo. Selon chemen yo ak zak yo, Mwen te jije yo.
and I dispersed them amongst the nations, and utterly scattered them through the countries: I judged them according to their way and according to their sin.
20 Lè yo te rive nan nasyon kote yo te ale yo, yo te pwofane non Mwen. Paske yo te di a yo menm: ‘Sila yo se pèp SENYÈ a; malgre, yo te vin sòti kite peyi Li a.’
And they went in amongst the nations, amongst which they went, and they profaned my holy name, while it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and they came forth out of his land.
21 Men Mwen te vle konsève onè a non sen Mwen an, ke lakay Israël te pwofane pami nasyon kote yo te ale yo.
But I spared them for the sake of my holy name, which the house of Israel profaned amongst the nations, amongst whom they went.
22 “Akoz sa, pale ak lakay Israël: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Se pa pou koz nou, O lakay Israël, ke Mwen prèt pou aji a, men pou non sen Mwen an, ke ou te pwofane pami nasyon kote nou te ale yo.
Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; I do not this, O house of Israel, for your sakes, but because of my holy name, which you have profaned amongst the nations, amongst whom you went.
23 Mwen va fè valè sentete a gwo non Mwen an ki te pwofane pami nasyon yo, ke nou te pwofane nan mitan yo. Nan lè sa a nasyon yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “lè M fè prèv sentete Mwen pami nou devan zye yo.
And I will sanctify my great name, which was profaned amongst the nations, which you profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, when I am sanctified amongst you before their eyes.
24 “‘“Paske Mwen va retire nou soti nan nasyon yo, rasanble nou soti nan tout peyi yo pou mennen nou antre nan pwòp peyi pa nou an.
And I will take you out from the nations, and will gather you out of all the lands, and will bring you into your own land:
25 Epi Mwen va flite yon dlo pwòp sou nou e nou va vin pwòp. Mwen va netwaye nou de tout sa ki malpwòp nan nou, e de tout zidòl nou yo.
and I will sprinkle clean water upon you, and you shall be purged from all your uncleannesses, and from all your idols, and I will cleanse you.
26 Anplis, Mwen va bay nou yon kè tounèf e Mwen va mete yon lespri tounèf anndan nou. Epi Mwen va retire kè wòch la soti nan chè nou pou bay nou yon kè ki fèt ak chè.
And I will give you a new heart, and will put a new spirit in you: and I will take away the heart of stone out of your flesh, and will give you a heart of flesh.
27 Mwen va mete Lespri M anndan nou, fè nou mache nan règleman Mwen yo e nou va fè atansyon pou swiv tout lwa Mwen yo.
And I will put my Spirit in you, and will cause you to walk in mine ordinances, and to keep my judgements, and do [them].
28 Nou va rete nan peyi ke M te bay a papa zansèt nou yo. Konsa, nou va pèp Mwen yo e Mwen va Bondye pa nou.
And you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to your fathers; and you shall be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.
29 Anplis, Mwen va sove nou de tout sa ki pa pwòp nan nou. Epi Mwen va rele pou sereyal miltipliye li e mwen p ap mennen gwo grangou rive sou nou.
And I will save you from all your uncleannesses: and I will call for the corn, and multiply it, and will not bring famine upon you.
30 Mwen va miltipliye fwi sou pyebwa ak pwodwi chan an, pou nou pa resevwa mepriz a gwo grangou pami nasyon yo ankò.”
And I will multiply the fruit of the trees, and the produce of the field, that you may not bear the reproach of famine amongst the nations.
31 “‘“Nan lè sa a, nou va sonje chemen mechan nou yo, zak nou ki pa t bon yo, e nou va rayi tèt nou nan pwòp zye nou, akoz inikite ak abominasyon nou yo.
And you shall remember your evil ways and your practices that were not good, and you shall be hateful in your own sight for your transgressions and for your abominations.
32 Se pa pou koz nou ke m ap fè sa,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a: “Ke nou byen konprann sa a. Rete wont e twouble akoz chemen nou yo, O lakay Israël!”
Not for your sakes do I [this], says the Lord God, [as] it is known to you: be you ashamed and confounded for your ways, O house of Israel.
33 “‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Nan jou ke M netwaye nou soti nan tout inikite nou yo, Mwen va fè vil la vin peple ak moun e kote dezole yo vin rebati.
Thus says the Lord God; In the day wherein I shall cleanse you from all your iniquities I will also cause the cities to be inhabited, and the waste [places] shall be built upon:
34 Tèren dezole a va kiltive olye de vin yon dezolasyon devan zye a tout moun ki pase yo.
and the desolate land shall be cultivated, whereas it was desolate in the eyes of every one that passed by.
35 Yo va di: ‘Tè dezole sa a te vin tankou jaden Éden. Epi dezè a, vil ranblè yo vin ranfòse e vin gen moun.’
And they shall say, That desolate land is become like a garden of delight; and the waste and desolate and ruined cities are inhabited.
36 Nan lè sa a, nasyon ki rete antoure nou yo va konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, te rebati pil mazi yo, e te plante sa ki te vin dezè a. Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, fin pale e Mwen va fè sa.”
And the nations, as many as shall have been left round about you, shall know that I the Lord have built the ruined [cities] and planted the waste [lands]: I the Lord have spoken, and will do [it].
37 “‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Konsa anplis, men sa lakay Israël va mande M fè pou yo: Mwen va fè pèp pa yo a vin anpil tankou bann mouton.
Thus says the Lord God; Yet [for] this will I be sought by the house of Israel, to establish them; I will multiply them [even] men as sheep;
38 Tankou bann mouton ki pou fè sakrifis, tankou bann mouton Jérusalem nan lè fèt li yo, konsa vil dezole yo va vin plen ak yon bann moun. Konsa, yo va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.”’”
as holy sheep, as the sheep of Jerusalem in her feasts; thus shall the desert cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I [am] the Lord.
