Ezekyèl 4
1 “Alò, ou menm, fis a lòm, chache pou ou yon moso mozayik. Mete l devan ou e desiyen yon vil sou li, menm Jérusalem nan.
And thou, son of man, take thee a brick, and thou shalt set it before thy face, and shalt portray on it the city, [even] Jerusalem.
2 Konsa, poze fè syèj kontra li. Bati yon miray syèj, leve teras, fòme kan a, prepare e pozisyone dè belye mouton kont li tout ozanviwon.
And thou shalt besiege it, and build works against it, and throw up a mound round about it, and pitch camps against it, and set up engines round about.
3 Ankò, chache pou ou yon plak an fè, pozisyone li tankou yon miray ki fèt an fè antre ou menm ak vil la e mete fas ou anvè li. Li anba syèj. Konsa ou va mete li anba syèj menm. Sa va yon sign pou lakay Israël.
And take thou to thyself an iron pan, and thou shalt set it [for] an iron wall between thee and the city: and thou shalt set thy face against it, and it shall be in a siege, and thou shalt besiege it. This is a sign to the children of Israel.
4 “Pou ou menm, kouche sou kote goch ou e mete inikite lakay Israël la sou li. Ou va pote inikite yo pou menm fòs jou ke ou kouche sou li yo.
And thou shalt lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquities of the house of Israel upon it, according to the number of the hundred and fifty days [during] which thou shalt lie upon it: and thou shalt bear their iniquities.
5 Mwen te kontwole fòs kantite jou ki koresponn a fòs kantite ane a inikite yo; twa-san-katra-ven-di jou. Konsa ou va pote inikite a lakay Israël la.
For I have appointed thee their iniquities for a number of days, for a hundred and ninety days: so thou shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Israel.
6 Lè ou fin konplete sila yo, ou va kouche yon dezyèm fwa sou kote dwat ou pou pote inikite lakay Juda a. Mwen te kontwole li pou ou pandan karant jou; yon jou pou chak ane.
And thou shalt accomplish this, and [then] shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquities of the house of Juda forty days: I have appointed thee a day for a year.
7 Konsa, ou va mete figi ou vè syèj a Jérusalem ak bra ou dekouvri pou pwofetize kont li.
So thou shalt set thy face to the siege of Jerusalem, and shalt strengthen thine arm, and shalt prophesy against it.
8 Alò, gade byen, Mwen va mete kòd sou ou pou ou pa kapab vire soti yon kote a yon lòt jiskaske ou fin konplete jou a syèj ou yo.
And, behold, I have prepared bonds for thee, land thou mayest not turn from thy one side to the other, until the days of thy siege shall be accomplished.
9 “Men pou ou menm, pran ble, lòj, pwa, pwa tann, pitimi, ak ble mòn. Mete yo nan yon sèl veso e fè pen ak yo. Ou va manje l selon nonb jou ke ou kouche sou kote ou yo, twa-san-katre-ven-di jou.
Take thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and bread-corn; and thou shalt cast them into one earthen vessel, and shalt make them into loaves for thyself; and thou shalt eat them a hundred and ninety days, according to the number of the days [during] which thou sleepest on thy side.
10 Manje ke ou va manje a va ven sik pa jou selon pwa li. Ou va manje ladann de tanzantan.
And thou shalt eat thy food by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat them.
11 Dlo ou bwè a va yon sizyèm en (1 lit pa mezi). Ou va bwè l de tanzantan.
And thou shalt drink water by measure, even from time to time thou shalt drink the sixth part of a hin.
12 Ou va manje li kon gato lòj. Ou va kwit li devan yo ak fimye poupou moun.”
And thou shalt eat them [as] a barley cake: thou shalt bake them before their eyes in man's dung.
13 Epi SENYÈ a te di: “Konsa fis Israël yo va manje pen pa pwòp yo pami nasyon kote m ap chase yo ale yo.”
And thou shalt say, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall the children of Israel eat unclean things among the Gentiles.
14 Men mwen te di: “Ah Senyè BONDYE! Mwen pa t janm konn souye nanm mwen. Paske depi nan jenès mwen jis rive koulye a, mwen pa t janm manje sa ki te mouri pou kont li, oswa ki te chire pa bèt sovaj, ni okenn vyann ki pa t pwòp pa t janm antre nan bouch mwen.”
Then I said, Not so, Lord God of Israel: surely my soul has not been defiled with uncleanness; nor have I eaten, that which died of itself or was torn of beasts from my birth until now; neither has any corrupt flesh entered into my mouth.
15 Konsa, Li te di mwen: “Men gade, m ap bay ou kaka bèf pou ranplase poupou moun nan. Sou li menm ou va prepare pen ou an.”
And he said to me, Behold, I have given thee dung of oxen instead of man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy loaves upon it.
16 Anplis ke sa, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, gade byen, Mwen va kase pen sa a nan Jérusalem. Yo va manje pen mezire selon pwa, e ak kè twouble. Yo va bwè dlo pa mezi ak gwo laperèz
And he said to me, Son of man, behold, I break the support of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight and in want; and shall drink water by measure, and in a state of ruin:
17 ke pen ak dlo va vin ra. Konsa, yo va etonnen youn lòt e yo vin deperi nan inikite yo.”
that they may want bread and water; and a man and his brother shall be brought to ruin, and they shall pine away in their iniquities.
