Ezekyèl 36
1 Epi ou menm, fis a lòm, pwofetize a mòn Israël yo e di: “O mòn Israël yo, tande pawòl SENYÈ a.
“But as for you, son of man, prophesy over the mountains of Israel, and you shall say: O mountains of Israel, listen to 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 about you: ‘It is well! The everlasting heights have been given to us as an inheritance!’
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.”
because of this, prophesy and say: Thus says the Lord God: Because you have been made desolate, and you have been trampled on every side, and you have been made into an inheritance for the remainder of the nations, and because you rose up, over the tip of the tongue and over the shame of the people,
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,
because of this, O mountains of Israel, listen to the word of the Lord God. Thus says the Lord God to the mountains, and to the hills, to the torrents, and to the valleys, and to the deserts, and to the ruins, and to the forsaken cities, which have been depopulated and ridiculed by the remainder of the nations all around:
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.”’
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: In the fire of my zeal, I have spoken about the remainder of the nations, and about all of Idumea, who have given my land to themselves, joyfully, as an inheritance, and with all the heart and mind, and who have cast it out, so that they may lay waste to it.
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 over the soil of Israel, and you shall say to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ridges, and to the valleys: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I have spoken in my zeal and in my fury, because you have endured the shame of the Gentiles.
7 Akoz sa, pale Senyè Bondye a: “Mwen te sèmante, ‘Anverite, nasyon ki antoure nou yo va yo menm andire wont pa yo.’
Therefore, thus says the Lord God: I have lifted up my hand, so that the Gentiles, who are all around you, will themselves bear their shame.
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 as for you, O mountains of Israel, spring forth your branches, and bear your fruit, to my people Israel. For they are close to their advent.
9 Paske gade byen, Mwen pou nou, Mwen va vire kote nou, e nou va vin kiltive e plante.
For behold, I am for you, and I will turn to you, and you will be plowed, and you will receive seed.
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 among you and among all the house of Israel. And the cities shall be inhabited, and the ruinous places shall be restored.
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 fill you again with men and with cattle. And they will be multiplied, and they will increase. And I will cause you to live as from the beginning, and I will give you even greater gifts than those you had from the start. 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 lead men over you, over my people Israel, and they will possess you as an inheritance. And you shall be to them as an inheritance. And you shall no longer be permitted to be without 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 are saying about you, ‘You are a woman who devours men, and you are strangling your own nation,’
14 Akoz sa, ou p ap manje moun ankò e ou p ap responsab pèt pitit peye ou yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
because of this, you shall no longer consume men, and you shall no longer harm your own 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.’”
Neither will I permit men to discover in you the shame of the Gentiles any more. And you shall never again bear the reproach of the peoples. And you shall not send your people away any more, 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 on their own soil, and they defiled it with their ways and with their intentions. Their way, in my sight, became like the uncleanness of a menstruous 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.
And so I poured out my indignation upon them, because of the blood which they shed upon the land, and because they defiled it with their idols.
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 among the Gentiles, and they have been scattered among the lands. I have judged them according to their ways and their plans.
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 when they walked among the Gentiles, to whom they had entered, they defiled my holy name, though it was being said about them: ‘This is the people of the Lord,’ and ‘They went forth from 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 have spared my holy name, which the house of Israel has defiled among the Gentiles, to whom they entered.
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.
For this reason, you shall say to the house of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: I will act, not for your sake, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which you have defiled among the Gentiles, to whom you entered.
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 defiled among the Gentiles, which you have defiled in their midst. So may the Gentiles know that I am the Lord, says the Lord of hosts, when I will have been sanctified in 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.
Certainly, I will take you away from the Gentiles, and I will gather you together from all the lands, and I will lead 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 pour clean water over you, and you shall be cleansed from all your filth, and I will cleanse you from all your idols.
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 to you a new heart, and I will place in you a new spirit. And I will take away the heart of stone from your body, and I will give to 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 place my Spirit in your midst. And I will act so that you may walk in my precepts and keep my judgments, and so that you may fulfill 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 live in the land that I gave to your fathers. And you shall be my people, and I will be your 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 filth. And I will call for grain, and I will multiply it, and I will not impose a 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 tree and the produce of the field, so that you may no longer bear the disgrace of famine among 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 very wicked ways and your intentions, which were not good. And you will be displeased by your own iniquities and your own crimes.
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!”
It is not for your sakes that I will act, says the Lord God; let this be known to you. Be confounded and ashamed over your own 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 when I will have cleansed you from all your iniquities, and when I will have caused the cities to be inhabited, and when I will have restored the ruinous places,
34 Tèren dezole a va kiltive olye de vin yon dezolasyon devan zye a tout moun ki pase yo.
and when the deserted land will have been cultivated, which previously was desolate to the eyes of all who 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.’
then they shall say: ‘This uncultivated land has become a garden of delight, and the cities, which were deserted and destitute and overturned, have been settled and fortified.’
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 Gentiles, those who remain around you, shall know that I, the Lord, have built up what was destroyed, and have planted what was uncultivated. I, the Lord, have spoken and acted.
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: Even in this time, the house of Israel shall find me, so that I may act for them. I will multiply them like a flock of men,
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.”’”
like a holy flock, like the flock of Jerusalem in her solemnities. So shall the deserted cities be filled with flocks of men. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
