Ezekyèl 9
1 Answit, Li te kriye fò pou m tande ak yon gwo vwa e te di: “Vin pi pre, O nou menm ki an chaj vil la, chak moun ak pwòp zam destriksyon li nan men l.”
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 Gade byen, sis moun te sòti nan pòtay anlè ki pozisyone vè nò a, chak moun ak pwòp zam masak li nan men l. Pami yo, te gen yon sèten nonm abiye an len, ak yon valiz pou ekri nan senti l. Epi yo te antre ladann e te kanpe akote lotèl an bwonz lan.
And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer’s inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
3 Konsa, laglwa Bondye Israël la te leve monte soti nan cheriben kote l te poze a, pou rive nan papòt tanp lan. Epi Li te rele nonm abiye an len ak yon valiz pou ekri nan senti li an.
And the glory of the God of Israel was gone up from the cherub, whereupon he was, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed with linen, which had the writer’s inkhorn by his side;
4 SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale pase nan mitan vil la, menm nan mitan Jérusalem, mete yon mak sou fwon a mesye ki plenn nan gòj e ki fè soupi pou tout abominasyon k ap komèt nan mitan li yo.”
And Yhwh said unto him, Go through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and set a mark upon the foreheads of the men that sigh and that cry for all the abominations that be done in the midst thereof.
5 Men pou lòt yo, Li te di nan zòrèy mwen: “Travèse vil la dèyè li pou frape. Pa kite zye ou fè pitye, ni pa ralanti.
And to the others he said in mine hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite: let not your eye spare, neither have ye pity:
6 Konplètman, touye granmoun, jenn gason, jenn fi, timoun yo ak fanm, men pa touche okenn moun ki gen mak la. Kòmanse soti nan sanktyè pa M nan.” Konsa, yo te kòmanse ak ansyen ki te devan tanp yo.
Slay utterly old and young, both maids, and little children, and women: but come not near any man upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then they began at the ancient men which were before the house.
7 Epi Li te di yo: “Souye tanp lan e plen lakou a ak mò yo. Ale deyò!” Konsa, yo te ale deyò pou te frape moun nan vil yo.
And he said unto them, Defile the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go ye forth. And they went forth, and slew in the city.
8 Pandan yo t ap frape moun yo e mwen sèl te rete, mwen te tonbe sou figi mwen, mwen te kriye fò pou te di: “Anmwey, Senyè BONDYE! Èske W ap detwi tout retay Israël la pandan W ap vide gwo kòlè ou sou Jérusalem nan?”
And it came to pass, while they were slaying them, and I was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah Lord Yhwh! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel in thy pouring out of thy fury upon Jerusalem?
9 Li te reponn mwen: “Inikite lakay Israël ak Juda yo vin trè trè gran. Peyi a vin plen ak san, e vil la plen ak pèvèsyon. Paske yo di: ‘SENYÈ a te abandone tout peyi a e SENYÈ a pa wè!’
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceeding great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness: for they say, Yhwh hath forsaken the earth, And Yhwh seeth not.
10 Men pou Mwen, zye M p ap gen pitye ni Mwen p ap ralanti, men Mwen va fè kondwit yo vin rive sou pwòp tèt yo.”
And as for me also, mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity, but I will recompense their way upon their head.
11 Epi gade byen, nonm abiye an len, ki te gen valiz ekri nan senti li jan nou te di a, t ap di: “Mwen te fè l jis jan ou te kòmande mwen an.”
And, behold, the man clothed with linen, which had the inkhorn by his side, reported the matter, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
