Ezekyèl 7
1 Anplis, pawòl SENYÈ a te vin kote mwen. Li te di:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 Ou menm, fis a lòm, konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a, Lafen! Lafen ap pwoche sou kat kwen peyi a.
“Son of man, this is what the Lord God says to the people living in Israel: The end is here! The end has arrived throughout the country.
3 Se koulye a, lafen an sou ou, e Mwen va voye kòlè Mwen kont ou. Mwen va jije ou selon zèv ou. Mwen va mennen tout abominasyon ou yo sou ou.
Now is the end for you! I'm going to direct my anger against you. I'm judging you for your actions and will pay you back for the offensive things you've done.
4 Paske zye M p ap gen pitye pou ou, ni Mwen p ap ralanti pou ou, men Mwen va mennen chemen ou yo rive sou ou, abominasyon ou yo va pami ou, e ou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a!
I won't have any pity for you, or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you'll know that I am the Lord.
5 “Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: ‘Yon gwo dezas! Yon dezas san parèy! Gade byen, l ap vini.
This is what the Lord God says: Watch out! Disaster after disaster is coming!
6 Lafen an ap vini. Lafen an gen tan rive! Li te leve kont ou. Gade byen, li fin rive!
The end is here! The end has come, and it's coming for you! Watch out! This is the end!
7 Move lè ou a fin rive, O moun peyi a! Lè a rive! Jou toupre a—gwo zen olye kri lajwa a ap kriye sou mòn yo.
You people living in the land, the consequences of your actions have come full circle. The time has come, the day is near— shouts of panic on the mountains and not shouts of joy.
8 Koulye a, nan yon ti tan, Mwen va vide kòlè Mwen sou ou, e achevi kòlè Mwen kont ou. Konsa, M ap jije ou selon tout chemen ou yo, e mennen sou ou tout abominasyon ou yo.
Very shortly I'm going to show you how angry I am with you. I will judge you by what you have done, and punish you for all your disgusting sins.
9 Zye m p ap montre okenn pitye, ni Mwen p ap ralanti. Mwen va rekonpanse ou selon chemen ou yo pandan abominasyon ou yo pami nou. Konsa, ou va konnen ke se Mwen, SENYÈ a, ki fè frap la.
I won't have any pity for you or show you any mercy. I'm going to punish you for what you've done, for your disgusting sins. Then you will know that it is I, the Lord, who is attacking you.
10 “‘Gade jou a! Gade l byen, l ap vini! Move lè ou a deja parèt. Baton an fin boujonnen. Ògèy la fin fleri.
Can't you see? The day is here! It has arrived! The consequences of your actions have come full circle—the walking stick has blossomed, pride has come into full bloom.
11 Vyolans fin grandi pou vin fè yon baton mechanste. Okenn nan yo p ap rete; okenn nan moun yo, okenn nan richès yo, ni okenn bagay ki gen gwo valè pami yo.
Their way of violence has turned into a rod to punish them for their wickedness. None of them will survive—none of that whole crowd, and none of their wealth or honor.
12 Lè a fin rive! Jou a prè. Pa kite moun k ap achte a rejwi, ni moun k ap vann nan soufri, paske gwo chalè a kont tout foul moun yo.
The time has come; the day is here! Buyers, don't celebrate thinking you'll get a good deal; sellers, don't cry thinking you're going to make a loss—because punishment is coming to everyone.
13 Anverite, moun k ap vann nan p ap retounen nan sa li te vann nan, malgre yo toujou vivan; paske vizyon konsène tout foul moun yo. Yo p ap retounen, ni okenn nan yo p ap ka pwolonje lavi yo nan mitan inikite yo.
Sellers won't ever get back the purchase price while they're still alive. I'm not going to change the plan I have revealed that applies to everyone. People who go on sinning won't survive.
14 Yo te soufle twonpèt la, e te fè tout bagay vin prè, men pèsòn pa prale nan batay la, paske gwo kòlè Mwen an kont tout foul moun yo.
Even though the trumpet call to arms has sounded, even though all the preparations have been made, no one is ready to fight, because I am angry with everyone.
15 “‘Nepe a deyò e epidemi ak gwo grangou a anndan. Sila ki nan chan an va mouri pa nepe. Gwo grangou ak epidemi va, anplis, manje sila anndan vil yo.
Outside the city are armed attacks; inside are disease and starvation. Those in the countryside will be killed by the sword, and those in the city will be destroyed by starvation and disease.
16 Menm lè sila ki chape yo rive deyò, yo va sou mòn yo tankou toutrèl nan vale yo, yo tout ap kriye, yo chak nan pwòp inikite yo.
Those who do survive will escape and go to live in the mountains. They will sigh like the doves of the valley, each person thinking about their own sins.
17 Tout men yo va lage vid e tout jenou yo va vin kon dlo.
Every hand will go limp, and every knee will go weak.
18 Yo va abiye yo menm ak twal sak e lafyèv frison va boulvèse yo. Lawont va sou tout figi yo, e tout tèt yo va chòv.
They will put on clothes made of sackcloth, and they will be totally terrified. They will all be ashamed and shave their heads in mourning.
19 Yo va jete ajan yo nan lari, e lò yo va vin yon bagay repinyans. Lajan ak lò yo p ap kapab delivre yo nan jou gwo chalè SENYÈ a. Yo p ap ka satisfè apeti yo, ni yo p ap kapab plen vant yo, paske se li ki te fè yo chite.
They will throw away their silver in the streets and treat their gold as if it's something unclean. Their silver and gold won't be able to save them when the day of the Lord's anger comes. Their money won't satisfy their hunger or fill their stomachs. In fact this was the problem that caused their sin in the first place.
20 Yo te transfòme bote a òneman pa Li yo pou vin ògèye yo te fè imaj abominasyon yo ak bagay detestab yo avè l. Konsa, Mwen va fè l vin yon bagay abominab pou yo menm.
They were so proud of their beautiful jewelry that they used it to make their disgusting images and decorate their offensive idols. So I'm going to turn these idols into unclean things for them.
21 Mwen va bay li nan men etranje yo kon piyaj, nan men mechan sou latè yo kon donmaj, e yo va pwofane li nèt.
I'm going to hand these things over as plunder to foreigners and as loot to the wicked people of the earth, who will make them unclean.
22 Anplis, Mwen va vire figi Mwen lwen yo, e yo va pwofane plas sekrè Mwen an. Vòlè yo va antre nan li, e yo va pwofane li.
I will look away as they make my precious place unclean. Men of violence will enter and make it unclean.
23 “‘Fè chèn nan, paske peyi a plen ak krim sanglan, e vil la plen ak vyolans.
Get the chains ready, because the country is full of blood being spilled by violent crimes, and the city itself is full of violence.
24 Akoz sa, Mwen va mennen fè vini sila ki pi mal nan tout nasyon yo, e se yo k ap posede lakay yo. Mwen va, anplis, fè ògèy a sila ki pwisan yo sispann. Lye sen yo va vin gate nèt.
So I'm going to bring the most evil of all the nations to take over their houses. I will put an end to the pride of the powerful, and their holy places will be made unclean.
25 Lè gwo doulè a rive, yo va chache lapè, men p ap genyen menm.
Absolutely terrified, the people will look for peace, but won't find it.
26 Gwo dega va rive sou gwo dega, e gwo koze sou gwo koze. Konsa, yo va chache yon vizyon soti nan yon pwofèt, men lalwa va fin pèdi nan men prèt la, e p ap gen konsèy menm nan men ansyen yo.
Disaster after disaster will come down on them, and rumor after rumor. They will ask for a vision from a prophet, but there won't be any, and there won't be any instructions from the priests or advice from the elders either.
27 Wa a va fè dèy, prens lan va abiye ak dezespwa, e men a pèp peyi a va pran tranble. Selon kondwit yo, Mwen va aji avèk yo, e selon jijman yo, Mwen va jije yo. Konsa, yo va konnen ke se Mwen ki SENYÈ a.’”
The king will mourn, the prince will be devastated, and no one in the country will know what to do. I will do to them as they have done to others; I will judge them as they have judged others. Then they will know that I am the Lord.”
