< Ezekyèl 5 >
1 “Pou ou menm, Fis a lòm, pran yon nepe byen file. Pran l pou sèvi kon razwa sou tèt ou ak bab ou. Epi pran yon balans pou peze e divize cheve a.
"You, son of man, take a sharp sword; You shall take it as a barber's razor to you, and shall cause it to pass on your head and on your beard: then take balances to weigh, and divide the hair.
2 Yon tyè, ou va brile nan dife nan mitan vil la, lè jou syèj yo vin fini. Epi ou va pran yon tyè e frape l avèk nepe toupatou nan vil la e yon tyè, ou va gaye nan van. Konsa, Mwen va rale yon nepe fè l sòti nan fouwo pa dèyè yo.
A third part you shall burn in the fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled; and you shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it; and a third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Pran osi, kèk grenn nan cheve a, pa anpil, e mare yo nan pwent wòb ou.
You shall take of it a few in number, and bind them in your skirts.
4 Ankò, pran kèk nan yo pou jete nan dife, e brile yo nan dife a. Soti nan li, yon dife va gaye rive nan tout lakay Israël la.
Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire; from it shall a fire come forth into all the house of Israel."
5 “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Sa se Jérusalem. Mwen te mete li nan mitan a nasyon yo ak peyi ki antoure li yo.
"Thus says Jehovah: 'This is Jerusalem; I have placed her at the center of the nations, and countries are around her.
6 Men li te fè rebèl kont lòd Mwen yo pi mal pase nasyon yo, e kont règleman Mwen yo, plis ke peyi ki antoure li yo. Paske yo te rejte lòd Mwen yo, e pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo.’
She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.'
7 “Akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Akoz ou gen plis twoub pase nasyon ki te antoure ou yo, ou pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo, ni ou pa t swiv lòd Mwen yo, ni ou pa t swiv lòd a nasyon ki te antoure ou yo’;
"Therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Because you are turbulent more than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you';
8 akoz sa, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Gade byen, Mwen, Mwen menm kont ou, e Mwen va egzekite jijman pami nou pou tout lòt nasyon yo ka wè.
therefore thus says Jehovah: 'Look, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments in the midst of you in the sight of the nations.
9 Akoz tout abominasyon nou yo, Mwen va fè pami nou sa ke Mwen pa t fè, e tankou sa Mwen p ap janm fè ankò.
I will do in you that which I have not done, and whereunto I will not do any more the like, because of all your abominations.
10 Pou sa, papa yo va manje fis yo pami nou, e fis yo va manje papa yo. Paske Mwen va egzekite jijman sou nou e gaye tout retay nou yo nan tout van.
Therefore the fathers shall eat the sons in the midst of you, and the sons shall eat their fathers; and I will execute judgments on you; and the whole remnant of you will I scatter to all the winds.'
11 Jan Mwen viv la’, deklare Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Anverite, akoz nou te souye Sanktyè pa M nan ak tout zidòl abominab nou yo, e ak tout abominasyon nou yo, konsa M ap desann nou. Pou sa, Zye m p ap gen pitye, e Mwen p ap epanye pèsòn.
"'Therefore as I live,' says Jehovah, 'surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you; neither shall my eye spare, and I also will have no pity.
12 Yon tyè nan nou va mouri akoz epidemi. Yo va vin mouri nan gwo grangou nan mitan nou. Yon tyè va tonbe devan nepe ki toupatou nou. Yon tyè, mwen va gaye nan tout van yo, e Mwen va rale yon nepe dèyè yo.’”
A third part of you shall die with the pestilence, and with famine shall they be consumed in the midst of you; and a third part shall fall by the sword around you; and a third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
13 Konsa, kòlè M va achevi. Mwen va satisfè gwo mekontantman Mwen sou yo, e Mwen va satisfè. Epi yo va vin konnen ke Mwen menm, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale ak zèl lè Mwen te achevi kòlè Mwen sou yo a.
Thus shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I shall be comforted; and they shall know that I, Jehovah, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
14 “‘Anplis, Mwen va fè ou vin yon kote dezole ak yon objè repwòch pami nasyon ki antoure ou yo, nan zye a tout sila ki pase la yo.
Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Konsa, sa va yon repwòch, yon ensilt, yon avètisman e yon objè degoutan pou nasyon ki antoure ou yo lè Mwen egzekite jijman kontra ou nan kòlè Mwen, mekontantman, ak repwòch plen ak raj— Mwen, SENYÈ a fin pale—
And you shall be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I shall execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes; I, Jehovah, have spoken;
16 lè Mwen voye kont yo flèch mechan yo, kon gwo grangou a, yon flèch ki te voye pou detwi nou. Mwen va osi fè gwo grangou a vin pi rèd sou ou e va kase retire sous pen an.
when I shall send on them the evil arrows of famine, that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you: and I will increase the famine on you, and will break your staff of bread;
17 Anplis, Mwen va voye sou ou gwo grangou, ak bèt sovaj yo e yo va fè ou soufre gwo pèt. Epidemi ak vèse san va rive sou ou. Mwen va mennen nepe sou ou. Mwen, SENYÈ a, Mwen te pale sa a.’”
and I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they shall bereave you; and pestilence and blood shall pass through you; and I will bring the sword on you: I, Jehovah, have spoken it.'"
