< 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.
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon 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 lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set [battering] rams against it on every side.
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.
Moreover take thou to thee an iron pan, and set it [for] a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This [shall 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.
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear their iniquity.
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 laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou bear the iniquity 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 when thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
7 Konsa, ou va mete figi ou vè syèj a Jérusalem ak bra ou dekouvri pou pwofetize kont li.
Therefore thou shalt set thy face towards the siege of Jerusalem, and thy arm [shall be] uncovered, and thou 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 will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy 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 thou also to thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according] to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat of it.
10 Manje ke ou va manje a va ven sik pa jou selon pwa li. Ou va manje ladann de tanzantan.
And thy food which thou shalt eat [shall be] by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Dlo ou bwè a va yon sizyèm en (1 lit pa mezi). Ou va bwè l de tanzantan.
Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
12 Ou va manje li kon gato lòj. Ou va kwit li devan yo ak fimye poupou moun.”
And thou shalt eat it [as] barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with human excrement in 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.”
And the LORD said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive 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.”
Then said I, Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither hath abominable flesh come 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.”
Then he said to me, Lo, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread with them.
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
Moreover he said to me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment.
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 be astonished one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
