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 my hearing, with a loud voice, saying: Bring ye near the punishments of the city, every one his weapon of destruction 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 lo, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which looketh toward the north, every one with his slaughter-weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's ink-horn by his side; and they went in, and stood beside the brazen 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 went up from the cherub upon which it was to the threshold of the house; and he called to the man clothed with linen, who had the writer's ink-horn 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 Jehovah said to 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 wail for all the abominations that are 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 my hearing, Go ye after him through the city, and smite! let not your eyes 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.
The old man, the youth, the virgin, little children and women, slay and destroy; but come not near any one upon whom is the mark; and begin at my sanctuary. Then began they at the elders that 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 to them, Pollute the house, and fill the courts with the slain, then 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 while they were smiting them, I alone was left; and I fell upon my face, and cried, and said, Ah, Lord Jehovah! wilt thou destroy all the remnant of Israel, while thou pourest out 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!’
And he said to me: The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood, and the city full of perverseness. For they say, “Jehovah hath forsaken the land”; and, “Jehovah 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.”
Therefore mine eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity. Their way will I recompense 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 lo, the man clothed with linen, who had the ink-horn by his side, returned answer, saying, I have done as thou hast commanded me.
