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 thou, son of man, prophesy unto the mountains of Israel, and say, O mountains of Israel, hear ye 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Because the enemy hath said regarding you, Aha, even the ancient high-places are become ours as a possession:
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Because, even because men have made you desolate, and sought to swallow you up on every side, that ye might become a possession unto the residue of the nations, and ye are taken up as a talk for tongues, and an evil report 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,
Therefore, O mountains of Israel, hear ye the word of the Lord Eternal, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, to the desolate ruins, and to the cities that are forsaken, which are become a prey and derision to the residue of the nations that are 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Surely in the fire of my jealousy have I spoken against the residue of the nations, and against all Idumea, that have appropriated my land unto themselves as a possession with the joy of all their heart, with derision in their soul, in order to drive it out that it may be for a prey.
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 unto the mountains, and to the hills, to the ravines, and to the valleys, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, In my zealousness and in my fury have I spoken, because ye have borne the reproach of the nations:
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, I have indeed lifted up my hand, that the nations who are round about you— these shall 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 ye, O mountains of Israel, ye shall send forth your boughs, and your fruit shall ye bear for my people Israel, for they are near at hand to come.
9 Paske gade byen, Mwen pou nou, Mwen va vire kote nou, e nou va vin kiltive e plante.
For, behold, I will be for you, and I will turn unto you, and ye shall be tilled and ye shall be 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 upon you men, all the house of Israel— altogether; and the cities shall be inhabited again, and the ruins shall be rebuilt;
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 upon you men and beast, and they shall increase and be fruitful; and I will cause you to be inhabited after your old estates, and will do more good unto you than at your beginnings: and ye 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.”
Yea, I will cause to walk upon you men, even my people Israel, and they shall possess thee, and thou shalt be unto them as an inheritance, and thou shalt not any more henceforth cast them out.
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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Because they say unto you, Thou land devourest up men, and hast been one that hath ever cast out thy nations:
14 Akoz sa, ou p ap manje moun ankò e ou p ap responsab pèt pitit peye ou yo,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.
Therefore shalt thou not devour up men any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 I will not let be heard against thee any more the reproach of the nations, and the disgrace of the people shalt thou not bear any more, and thy nations shalt thou not cast out any more, saith the Lord Eternal.
16 Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen e te di:
And the word of the Lord came unto 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, when they dwelt in their own land, defiled it through their way and through their doings: like the uncleanness of a woman in her separation was their way before me.
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 I poured out my fury over them because of the blood that they had shed in the land, and because through their idols they had polluted it;
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 scattered them among the nations, and they were dispersed through the countries: according to their way and according to their doings did I judge them.
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 were come unto the nations, whither they were gone, they profaned my holy name; because they said of them, These are the people of the Lord, and out of his land are they gone forth.
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 had pity for my holy name, which the house of Israel had profaned among the nations, whither they were gone.
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 unto the house of Israel, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Not for your sake do I this, O house of Israel, but for the sake of my holy name, which ye have profaned among the nations, whither ye are gone.
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 among the nations, which ye have profaned in the midst of them; and the nations shall know that I am the Lord, saith the Lord Eternal, when I will be sanctified through you before your 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 from among the nations, and I will gather you out of all the countries, and I will bring you unto 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 upon you clean water, and ye shall be clean: from all your impurities, and from all your idols, will I 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 a new spirit will I put within you; and I will remove the heart of stone out of your body, and I 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 my spirit I will put within you, and I will cause that you shall walk in my statutes, and that my ordinances ye shall keep, 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 ye shall dwell in the land which I gave to your fathers; and ye shall be unto me for a people, and I truly will be unto you as 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 kinds of your impurities; and I will call unto the corn, and increase it, and I will not lay 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 products of the field: in order that ye may receive no more reproach on account 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.
Then shall ye remember your ways that they were evil, and your doings that were not good; and ye shall loathe yourselves on account of your iniquities and on account of 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 sake do I this, saith the Lord Eternal, be it known unto you: be ashamed and confounded because of 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, On the day of my cleansing you from all your iniquities, when I cause the cities to be inhabited, and when the ruins are built up,
34 Tèren dezole a va kiltive olye de vin yon dezolasyon devan zye a tout moun ki pase yo.
And when the desolate land is tilled, instead that it was a waste before the eyes of every passer 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 shall they say, This land, that was desolate, is become like the garden of 'Eden; and the cities that were ruined, and desolate, and broken down, are become fortified, and 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 that are left round about you shall know that I the Lord have built up the broken-down [places], have planted the desolate [land]: I the Lord have spoken this, and have done 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 hath said the Lord Eternal, Also in this will I yet suffer myself to be entreated of by the house of Israel, to do it for them, I will increase them with men like flocks [in multitude].
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 the flocks of the holy things, as the flocks of Jerusalem on her appointed feasts, so shall the ruined cities be full of flocks of men: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
