Ezekyèl 8
1 Li te vin rive nan sizyèm ane, sou senkyèm jou, nan sizyèm mwa a, pandan mwen te chita lakay mwen ak ansyen a Juda yo ki te chita devan m, ke men Senyè BONDYE a te tonbe sou mwen la.
So it came about in the sixth year and the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the Lord Yahweh again fell upon me there.
2 Answit, mwen te gade e vwala, yon imaj kon aparans a yon nonm—soti nan ren li pou rive anba, te gen aparans dife e soti nan ren li pou monte, aparans yon bagay briyan tankou metal k ap klere.
So I looked, and behold, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man. From the appearance of his hips downward there was fire. And from his hips upward there was the appearance of something shining, like glowing metal.
3 Li te lonje yon bagay sanblab ak yon men, e li te kenbe m nan cheve m nan pati dèyè tèt mwen. Konsa, Lespri a te leve m monte rive antre tè a ak syèl la, e li te mennen mwen nan vizyon Bondye yo pou rive Jérusalem nan antre kote nò nan pòtay pa anndan an, kote ki te gen chèz pou zidòl ki rele jalouzi a, ki konn pwovoke jalouzi a.
Then he reached out the form of a hand and took me by the hair of my head; the Spirit lifted me up between earth and heaven, and in visions from God, he brought me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the inner northern gate, where the idol that provokes great jealousy was standing.
4 Gade byen, glwa Bondye Israël la te la, tankou aparans ke m te wè nan plèn nan.
Then behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the vision I had seen on the plain.
5 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, leve zye ou koulye a vè nò.” Konsa, mwen te leve zye m vè nò, e gade byen, nan nò a pòtay lotèl, se te zidòl jalouzi a ki te nan antre a.
Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes to the north.” So I lifted up my eyes to the north, and to the north of the gate leading to the altar, there in the entrance, was the idol of jealousy.
6 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè ki sa y ap fè, gwo abominasyon ke lakay Israël ap fè isit la, pou m ta kite sanktyè Mwen an? Malgre toujou, ou va wè abominasyon ki pi gwo.”
So he said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they are doing? These are great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here to make me go far from my own sanctuary. But you will turn and see even greater abominations.”
7 Li te mennen m nan antre lakou enteryè a, e lè m te gade, vwala, yon twou nan mi an.
Then he brought me to the doorway of the courtyard, and I looked, and there was a hole in the wall.
8 Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, fouye yon twou fonse antre nan mi an.” Konsa, mwen te fouye yon twou fonse antre nan mi an e vwala, yon pòt pou antre.
He said to me, “Son of man, dig into this wall.” So I dug into the wall, and there was a door.
9 Li te di mwen: “Antre ladann pou wè abominasyon mechan ke y ap komèt isit la.”
Then he said to me, “Go and see the wicked abominations that they are doing here.”
10 Konsa, mwen te antre e vwala, tout fòm bagay ki trennen atè, bèt ak bagay abominab, ak tout zidòl lakay Israël yo te grave kon desen sou mi an toutotou li.
So I went in and looked, and behold! There was every form of creeping thing and detestable beast! Every idol of the house of Israel was carved into the wall all around.
11 Epi te kanpe devan yo, swasann-dis lansyen a lakay Israël yo, e Jaazania, fis a Schaphan an, te kanpe nan mitan yo, chak moun ak pwòp veso lansan li, e odè nwaj lansan an a t ap leve.
Seventy elders of the house of Israel were there, and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan was standing in their midst. They were standing in front of the images, and each man had his censer in his hand so that the smell of the cloud of incense went up.
12 Epi Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, èske ou wè sa ke ansyen lakay Israël yo ap komèt nan fènwa a, chak moun nan chanm a pwòp imaj taye li? Paske men ki sa y ap di: ‘SENYÈ a pa wè nou. SENYÈ a fin abandone peyi a.’”
He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what the elders of the house of Israel are doing in the dark? Each one does this in the hidden chamber of his idol, for they say, 'Yahweh does not see us! Yahweh has forsaken the land.'”
13 Epi Li te di mwen: “Malgre sa, ou va wè abominasyon ki pi gwo ke y ap komèt.”
Then he said to me, “Turn again and see the other great abominations that they are doing.”
14 Konsa, Li te mennen mwen nan antre a pòtay lakay SENYÈ a ki te vè nò; epi vwala, te gen fanm la ki t ap kriye pou Thammuz.
Next he brought me to the entrance of the gate of Yahweh's house that was on the north side, and behold! The women were sitting there mourning for Tammuz.
15 Li te di mwen: “Èske ou wè sa, fis a lòm? Malgre sa, ou va wè pi gwo abominasyon ke sa yo.”
So he said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Turn again and see even greater abominations than these.”
16 Konsa, Li te mennen mwen antre nan lakou enteryè lakay SENYÈ a. Epi vwala, nan antre tanp SENYÈ a, antre galri ak lotèl la, anviwon venn-senk òm, avèk do yo bay tanp SENYÈ a, e figi yo vè lès. Epi yo t ap pwostène yo nan lès vè solèy la.
He brought me into the inner courtyard of Yahweh's house, and behold! at the entrance of the temple of Yahweh between the portico and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs toward the temple of Yahweh and their faces toward the east, and they were worshiping the sun.
17 Li te di mwen: “Èske ou wè sa, fis a lòm? Èske se yon bagay twò piti pou lakay Juda ta komèt abominasyon ke yo te komèt isit la? Paske yo te ranpli peyi a ak vyolans e te pwovoke M plizyè fwa? Gade byen, y ap vekse M menm ak ti branch bwa yo poze sou nen yo.
He said to me, “Do you see this, son of man? Is it a little thing for the house of Judah to do these abominations that they are doing here? For they have filled the land with violence and they have turned again to provoke me to anger, putting the branch to their noses.
18 Akoz sa, anverite, Mwen va aji ak gwo kòlè. Zye m p ap gen pitye, ni Mwen p ap epanye pèsòn. Malgre yo kriye nan zòrèy Mwen ak gwo vwa, malgre sa, Mwen p ap koute yo.”
So I will also act among them; my eye will not have compassion, and I will not spare them. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, I will not hear them.”
