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.
“Then you, son of man, take a sharp sword as a barber's razor for yourself, and pass the razor over your head and your beard, then take scales to weigh and divide your 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.
Burn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.
3 Pran osi, kèk grenn nan cheve a, pa anpil, e mare yo nan pwent wòb ou.
But take a small number of hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe.
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.
Then take more of the hair and throw it into the midst of the fire; and burn it in the fire; from there a fire will go out to 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.
The Lord Yahweh says this, “This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations, where I have placed her, and where I have surrounded her with other lands.
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.’
But she has in wickedness rejected my decrees more than the nations have, and my statutes more than the countries that surround her. The people have rejected my judgments and have not walked in my statutes.”
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 the Lord Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you and have not walked in my statutes or acted according to my decrees, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround 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 the Lord Yahweh says this, “Behold! I myself will act against you. I will execute judgments within your midst for the nations to see.
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 to you what I have not done and the like of which I will not do again, because of all your disgusting actions.
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 fathers will eat the children in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers, since I will execute judgment on you and scatter to every direction all of you who are left.
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—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—it is certainly because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all your disgusting deeds, that I myself will reduce you in number; my eye will not have pity on you, and I will not spare you.
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 of you will die by plague, and they will be consumed by famine in your midst. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I will scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.
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.
Then my wrath will be completed, and I will cause my fury toward them to rest. I will be satisfied, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my wrath when I have completed my fury against 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.
I will make you a desolation and a reproach to the nations that surround you in the sight of everyone who passes 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—
So Jerusalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock, a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I will execute judgments against you in wrath and fury, and with a furious rebuke—I, Yahweh have declared this!
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.
I will send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you. For I will increase the famine on you and 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.’”
I will send a famine and disasters against you so you will be childless. Plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you—I, Yahweh, have declared this.”
