Ezekiel 26

1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh came unto me, saying:

Nan premye jou mwa a nan onzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:

2 Son of man, Because Tyre hath said concerning Jerusalem. Aha! She is broken that was the doors of the peoples. She is turned unto me, — I shall be filled, She is laid waste,

-Nonm o! Lavil Tir pa t' manke kontan. Men sa li t'ap di sou lavil Jerizalèm: Li fini! Li pa ka fè gwo kòmès li te konn fè anvan an. Koulye a, wout kòmès la louvri gran louvri pou mwen. Pa gen anyen lavil Jerizalèm ankò.

3 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee O Tyre, — So then I will bring up against thee many nations, As the sea bringeth up its rolling waves;

Enben, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap leve dèyè nou tou, nou menm moun lavil Tir. Mwen pral mennen anpil nasyon vin atake nou. Yo pral vin sou nou yonn apre lòt tankou lanm lanmè.

4 And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre. And break down her towers, And I will scrape clean her dust from off her, —And make of her the glaring face of a cliff:

Yo pral kraze miray ranpa lavil yo. Y'ap demoli gwo fò won yo. Lèfini, m'ap pote tout pousyè a ale. M'ap kite wòch yo griyen konsa.

5 A place for the spreading of nets, shall she become, in the midst of the sea, For, I, have spoken Declareth My Lord. Yahweh, -And she shall become a prey to the nations.

Pechè yo pral mete senn cheche sou yo, la kote lavil la te kanpe nan mitan lanmè. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa. Nasyon yo pral piye lavil la.

6 And her daughters that are in the field: with the sword shall be slain: So shall they know that I am Yahweh.

Yo pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a ak nepe. Lè sa a, lavil Tir va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.

7 For thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! bringing against Tyre. Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon out of the North. a king of kings, —with horses and with chariots and with horsemen, and a gathered host, and much people.

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Mwen pral voye Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, pi gran wa pase tout wa yo, vin atake Tir. L'ap soti nan nò avèk chwal, cha lagè, kavalye ak yon gwo lame sòlda.

8 Thy daughters in the field—with the sword, shall he slay, - And shall set against thee a siege-wall And cast up against thee an earthwork, And set up against thee a large shield;

Li pral touye tout moun k'ap viv nan lòt lavil ki nan rès peyi a. Li pral fouye gwo kannal, li pral anpile ranblè tout arebò ou. Li pral moute yon miray ak plak fè pou pare kou.

9 And the stroke of his attacking-engine, will he direct against thy walls, — And thy towers, will he break down with his axes.

Li pral frape sou miray yo avèk gwo poto. Li pral demoli gwo fò won yo ak gwo pens fè.

10 By reason of the multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee, — At the noise of horseman and wheel and chariot, shall thy walls tremble, when he entereth into thy gates Just as they do who enter a city broken open.

Tèlman pral gen chwal, chwal yo pral leve yon gwo nwaj pousyè dèyè yo ki pral kouvri lavil la. Lè kavalye l' yo ap pase sou chwal yo, lè cha lagè yo ak kabwa pwovizyon yo ap pase antre nan pòtay ou yo, miray yo pral tranble. Yo pral antre nan lavil la tankou si miray yo te tonbe.

11 With the hoofs of his horses, shall he tread down all thy streets, — Thy people-with the sword, shall he slay, And thy pillars of strength to the earth, shall go down.

Nou pral tande bri zago chwal li yo nan tout lari yo. L'ap fè yo touye tout moun ak nepe. Bèl gwo poto solid ou yo pral tonbe atè.

12 And they shall spoil thy wealth And make a prey of thy merchandise, And break down thy walls And thy pleasant houses, shall they lay in ruins; And thy stones and thy timber and thy dust—in the midst of the waters, shall they lay.

Yo pral pran tout richès ou yo, yo pral piye tout machandiz ou yo. Y'ap kraze tout miray ou yo, y'ap demoli tout bèl kay ou yo. Y'ap pran wòch yo, bwa yo ak tout rès demoli yo, y'ap jete yo nan lanmè.

13 And I will cause to cease the hum of thy songs; And the sound of thy lyres, shall not be heard any more.

M'ap fè nou sispann chante. Yo p'ap tande mizik gita nou yo ankò.

14 And I will make of thee the glaring face of a cliff. A place for the spreading of nets, shalt thou become, Thou shalt not be but any more, For I. Yahweh have spoken it, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.

Lavil la pral tounen yon gwo pil wòch, se la pechè yo pral cheche senn yo. Yo p'ap janm rebati lavil la ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

15 Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, to Tyre: Shall it not be that. At the sound of thy fall. With the groan of thy pierced one. With the slaughter made in thy midst, The Coastlands shall tremble?

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di moun lavil Tir yo: Lè lavil la va tonbe nan men lènmi l' yo, lè y'a pran masakre moun ladan l', lè moun y'ap touye yo ap rele, moun ki rete tout bò gwo lanmè a va tranble.

16 Then shall come down from off their thrones all the princes of the sea, And shall lay aside their robes. And their embroidered garments, shall strip off, — With tremblings, shall they clothe them. selves Upon the ground, shall they sit, And shall tremble every moment and be astonished over thee.

Tout wa peyi k'ap fè kòmès sou lanmè a ap desann soti sou fotèy yo, y'ap wete gwo manto ak bèl rad bwode ki te sou yo. Yo pral chita atè sitèlman y'ap pè. Yo pral sitèlman sezi wè sa ki rive nou, y'ap tranble san rete.

17 Then shall they take up over thee a dirge, And say to thee, - How hast thou perished, And ceased from the seas, - The city renowned which was strong in the sea She and they who dwelt in her, Who imparted their terror To all who dwelt in her.

Yo pral plenn sò ou. Yo pral di: -Gade yon malè! Gwo lavil la disparèt! Tout batiman l' yo koule! Jan moun lavil sa yo te mèt lanmè a! Yo te fè tout moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a pè yo.

18 Now, shall tremble the Coastlands, In the day of thy fall, - And shall shudder the isles that are in the sea. At thine exit!

Koulye a, tout moun bò gwo lanmè yo ap tranble lè y'a wè ou tonbe nan men lènmi ou yo. Wi, moun ki rete bò gwo lanmè a p'ap konn sa pou yo fè lè y'a wè jan ou fini an!

19 For thus saith My Lord Yahweh, When I make thee a desolate city, Like cities which cannot be dwelt in, - When I bring up over thee the roaring deep, And the mighty waters cover thee,

Paske, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap fè ou tounen yon dezè, tankou lavil kote pa gen moun rete. M'ap fè dlo lanmè a leve dèyè ou, l'ap kouvri ou nèt ale.

20 Then will I bring thee down with them that go down into the pit. Unto the people of age-past times And cause thee to dwell in the earth below Among the desolations from age-past times With them that go down into the pit That thou mayest not be dwelt in, Nor yet present thyself in the land of the living.

M'ap fè nou desann nan peyi kote mò yo ye a, m'ap voye nou al jwenn moun ki mouri depi lontan yo. M'ap fè nou al rete nan peyi ki anba tè a, kote nou pral rete pou kont nou, pou tout tan ansanm ak moun ki mouri deja yo. Konsa, nou p'ap gen plas nou ankò sou latè pami vivan yo.

21 A terror, will I make thee And thou shalt not be: Though thou be sought for, Thou shalt not be found any more To times age-abiding, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.

Mwen pral fè tout moun pè lè yo wè sa ki rive nou. Se konsa n'a fini. Moun va chache nou, men yo p'ap janm jwenn nou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
