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.
“But you, son of man, take a brick for yourself and place it before you. Then carve the city of Jerusalem on it.
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.
Then lay siege against it, and build forts against it. Raise up an assault ramp against it and set camps around it. Place battering rams all around it.
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.
Then take for yourself an iron pan and use it as an iron wall between yourself and the city and set your face against it, for it will be under siege, and you are to put the siege against it. This will be a sign to the house 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.
Then, lie on your left side and put the sin of the house of Israel on it; you will carry their sin for the number of the days that you lie down against the house of Israel.
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.
I myself am assigning to you one day to represent each year of their punishment: 390 days! In this way, you will carry the sin 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.
When you have completed these days, then lie down a second time on your right side, for you will carry the sin of the house of Judah for forty days. I am assigning to you one day for each year.
7 Konsa, ou va mete figi ou vè syèj a Jérusalem ak bra ou dekouvri pou pwofetize kont li.
Set your face toward Jerusalem that is under siege, and with your arm uncovered 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.
For behold! I am placing bonds on you so you will not turn from one side to the other until you have completed the days of your siege.
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 for yourself wheat, barley, beans, lentils, millet, and spelt; put them in a single container and make bread for yourself according to the number of the days that you will lie upon your side. For 390 days you will eat it.
10 Manje ke ou va manje a va ven sik pa jou selon pwa li. Ou va manje ladann de tanzantan.
The food you will eat will be by weight, twenty shekels per day, and you will eat it at set times each day.
11 Dlo ou bwè a va yon sizyèm en (1 lit pa mezi). Ou va bwè l de tanzantan.
Then you will drink water, measured out to a sixth of a hin, and you will drink it at set times.
12 Ou va manje li kon gato lòj. Ou va kwit li devan yo ak fimye poupou moun.”
You will eat it as barley cakes, but you will bake it on excrement of human dung within their sight!”
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.”
For Yahweh says, “This means that the bread that the people of Israel will eat will be unclean, there among the nations where I will banish them.”
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.”
But I said, “Alas, Lord Yahweh! I have never been unclean! I have never eaten either anything that died or anything killed by animals, from my youth until now, and foul meat has never entered 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.”
So he said to me, “Look! I have given you cow manure instead of human dung so you can prepare your bread over that.”
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
He also said to me, “Son of man! Behold! I am breaking the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they will eat bread while rationing it in anxiety and drink water while rationing it in trembling.
17 ke pen ak dlo va vin ra. Konsa, yo va etonnen youn lòt e yo vin deperi nan inikite yo.”
Because they will lack bread and water, every man will be dismayed at his brother and waste away because of their iniquity.”
