Ezekiel 3
1 And he said unto me, Son of man, eat what thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Manje sa m' ba ou la a. Manje woulo liv la. Apre sa, al pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat that roll.
Se konsa, mwen louvri bouch mwen, li fè m' manje woulo liv la.
3 And he said unto me, Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll which I give thee. And I ate, and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Li di m' ankò. -Nonm o! Manje non, plen vant ou ak liv mwen ba ou a. Mwen manje l', li te dous nan bouch mwen kou siwo myèl.
4 And he said unto me, Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with my words unto them.
Lèfini, Bondye di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Ale bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo tout pawòl mwen te di ou di yo.
5 For thou art not sent to a people of strange language, and of difficult speech, [but] to the house of Israel;
Se pa bò kote yon nasyon ki pale yon lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Se bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm mwen voye ou.
6 not to many peoples of strange language and of difficult speech, whose words thou canst not understand: had I sent thee to them, would they not hearken unto thee?
Se pa bò kote bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki pale lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Si se te bò kote moun sa yo m' te voye ou, yo ta koute ou.
7 But the house of Israel will not hearken unto thee, for none of them will hearken unto me. For all the house of Israel are hard of forehead and stiff of heart.
Men, pa gen pyès moun nan pèp Izrayèl la k'ap vle koute ou, paske yo pa vle koute m'. Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo gen tèt di ak move santiman nan kè yo.
8 Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.
Koulye a, m'ap fè ou kenbe tèt ak yo tankou yo kenbe tèt ak mwen an, pou ou ka koresponn ak yo.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead. Fear them not, neither be dismayed at them, for they are a rebellious house.
M'ap fè tèt ou di pase wòch, l'ap di tankou wòch dyaman. Pa pè yo, pa tranble devan yo. Se yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di yo ye.
10 And he said unto me, Son of man, all my words which I shall speak unto thee, receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears;
Bondye di ankò: -Nonm o! Louvri zòrèy ou, tande sa mapral di ou. Kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè ou.
11 and go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah, — whether they will hear or whether they will forbear.
Apre sa, ale bò kote moun yo te depòte yo, moun menm peyi avè ou yo. W'a pale ak yo, w'a di yo men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, m' voye di yo. Yo te mèt koute ou, yo te mèt pa koute ou, zafè yo!
12 And the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great rushing, [saying, ] Blessed be the glory of Jehovah from his place!
Apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pran m', li leve m' anlè. Mwen tande yon bann vwa dèyè do m' ki t'ap di: Lwanj pou Seyè a ki fè wè gwo pouvwa li nan syèl kote l' rete a.
13 — and the sound of the wings of the living creatures that touched one another, and the sound of the wheels beside them, and the sound of a great rushing.
Mwen tande bri zèl bèt yo ki t'ap bat ansanm ak bri wou yo, ou ta di bri yon foul moun k'ap rele.
14 And the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of Jehovah was strong upon me.
Lespri a te leve m' anlè, li pote m' ale. Pouvwa Seyè a te vin chita sou mwen avèk fòs. Men, mwen te boulvèse, kè m' te sere.
15 And I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I sat where they sat; and I sat there astonied among them seven days.
Se konsa mwen rive lavil Tèl Abid toupre larivyè Keba kote moun yo te depòte yo te rete a. Pandan sèt jou, mwen rete la nan mitan yo, tou dekontwole apre tou sa m' te wè ak tou sa m' te tande.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of Jehovah came unto me, saying,
Apre sèt jou sa yo, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
17 Son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel, and thou shalt hear the word from my mouth, and give them warning from me.
-Nonm o! Mwen mete ou faksyonnè pou nasyon Izrayèl la. W'a tande mesaj m'a ba ou, w'a avèti yo pou mwen.
18 When I say unto the wicked, Thou shalt certainly die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, that he may live: the same wicked [man] shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Lè mwen fè ou konnen yon mechan gen pou l' mouri, si ou pa avèti l' pou l' chanje, pou l' kite move pant l'ap swiv la pou l' ka sove lavi l', l'ap toujou mouri poutèt peche li fè yo, men se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.
19 But if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Men, si ou avèti mechan an, lèfini mechan an pa chanje, li pa kite move pant l'ap swiv la, l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo. Men ou menm, w'ap sove lavi pa ou.
20 And when a righteous [man] doth turn from his righteousness, and do what is wrong, and I lay a stumbling-block before him, he shall die; because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous acts which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Si yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat tanmen fè sa ki mal, m'ap mete yon malè sou wout li pou l' mouri. Si ou pa avèti l', l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo, mwen p'ap chonje jan l' te konn mache dwat anvan sa a. Men, se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.
21 And if thou warn the righteous [man], that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall certainly live, for he hath taken warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.
Si okontrè, ou avèti yon moun k'ap mache dwat pou l' pa fè sa ki mal, si li koute ou, si li pa fè sa ki mal, li p'ap mouri. Ou menm tou, w'a sove lavi ou.
22 And the hand of Jehovah was there upon me; and he said unto me, Arise, go forth into the valley, and there I will talk with thee.
Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Li di m' konsa: -Leve non. Soti al nan fon an. M'a pale la avè ou.
23 And I arose, and went forth into the valley, and behold, the glory of Jehovah stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Mwen leve, mwen desann al nan fon an. Lè m' rive la, mwen wè gwo bèl limyè ki te fè m' konprann Seyè a te kanpe la, tankou mwen te wè l' bò larivyè Keba a. Mwen tonbe sou de jenou m', tèt mwen bese jouk atè.
24 And the Spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and he spoke with me, and said unto me, Go, shut thyself within thy house.
Men, Lespri Bondye a antre sou mwen, li fè m' kanpe sou de pye m'. Li pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Al fèmen kò ou lakay ou.
25 And thou, son of man, behold, they shall put bands upon thee, and shall bind thee therewith, and thou shalt not go out among them.
Nonm o! Yo pral mete ou anba kòd. Y'ap mare ou byen mare, ou p'ap ka mete pwent pye ou deyò.
26 And I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
Mwen pral fè lang ou lou nan bouch ou. W'ap bèbè, ou p'ap ka avèti move ras moun tèt di sa yo.
27 And when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: He that heareth, let him hear; and he that forbeareth, let him forbear: for they are a rebellious house.
Apre sa, lè m'a pale avè ou ankò, m'a ba ou lapawòl, epi w'a ba yo mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'a ba ou. Sa ki vle koute va koute, sa ki pa vle koute, zafè yo! Se yon move ras moun tèt di yo ye.
