Ezekiel 33
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
2 'Son of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto them: A land — when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.
-Nonm o! Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. W'a di yo konsa: Lè m'ap voye lènmi atake yon peyi, moun peyi a va chwazi yonn nan yo, y'a mete l' faksyonnè pou veye peyi a.
3 And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people,
Lè faksyonnè a va wè lènmi ap pwoche, l'a bay yon kout klewon pou avèti moun yo.
4 And the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his head.
Si yon moun tande klewon an, men li pa okipe l', kifè lènmi an rive, li touye l', se djòb pa moun sa a, l'ap pote reskonsablite lanmò li.
5 The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul hath delivered.
Li tande kout klewon an pati, men li pa okipe sa, kifè sa lakòz li mouri. Paske si li te koute avètisman an, li ta ka pa mouri.
6 And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them — a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the hand of the watchman I require.
Men, si faksyonnè a wè lènmi ap vini epi li pa bay kout klewon an pou avèti moun yo, lènmi an ap vini, l'ap touye moun. Moun yo ap mouri akòz peche yo fè, se vre. Men, se faksyonnè a k'ap pote reskonsablite lanmò yo.
7 And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.
Koulye a, nonm o! Mwen mete ou faksyonnè pou veye pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè w'a tande mesaj m'a ba ou a, w'a avèti yo pou mwen.
8 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one — thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He — the wicked — in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require.
Si mwen fè ou konnen yon mechan gen pou l' mouri, epi 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 l' yo, men se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.
9 And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered.
Men, si ou avèti mechan an, lèfini li pa chanje, li pa kite move pant l'ap swiv la, l'ap mouri poutèt peche l' yo, men ou menm w'ap sove lavi pa ou.
10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Rightly ye have spoken, saying: Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And in them we are wasting away, How, then, do we live?
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' ankò: -Nonm o! W'a fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo chonje jan yo t'ap plede repete: Peche nou yo ak fòt nou yo ap peze lou sou nou. Se fini y'ap fini ak nou! Nou pa ka viv nan kondisyon sa a ankò!
11 Say unto them, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But — in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he hath lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye die, O house of Israel?
Enben, ou menm w'a di yo: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale! Men sa mwen di: Mwen pa pran ankenn plezi nan wè mechan yo mouri. Mwen ta pito wè yo sispann fè sa ki mal pou yo ka viv. Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, sispann fè sa nou pa dwe fè. Tounen vin jwenn mwen. Poukisa se lanmò n'ap chache konsa?
12 And thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The righteousness of the righteous doth not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He doth not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
Ou menm, nonm o! Men sa w'a di moun ou yo: Yon moun te mèt bon kou l' bon, li te mèt mache dwat kou l' mache dwat, jou li fè sa ki mal, li gen pou l' peye sa. Jou mechan an va sispann fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap pini l' pou sa li te konn fè a. Konsa tou, lè yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat pran fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap gade sou jan l' te konn mache dwat la pou yo pa fè l' peye sa l' fè a.
13 In My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And — he hath trusted on his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die.
Wi, mwen deklare tout moun k'ap mache dwat yo gen pou viv. Men, si yo tanmen mete nan tèt yo, paske yo te konn mache dwat la yo gen dwa fè sa ki mal, mwen p'ap chonje jan yo te konn mache dwat la menm. Y'ap mouri paske yo fè sa yo pa t' dwe fè.
14 And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And — he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
Konsa tou, m' avèti tout mechan yo yo gen pou mouri. Men, si yon mechan sispann fè sa ki mal, epi li tanmen mache dwat devan mwen, l'ap fè sa ki byen,
15 (The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth, ) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth — he doth not die.
si pa egzanp, li renmèt garanti yo te ba li pou lajan li te prete, si l' renmèt sa li te vòlò a, osinon si li sispann fè sa ki mal pou li mache dapre lòd mwen k'ap bay lavi a, li p'ap mouri, se viv pou li viv.
16 None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.
M'ap padonnen tout peche li te fè yo. L'ap viv paske l'ap mache dwat devan mwen, l'ap fè sa ki byen.
17 And the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As to them — their way is not pondered.
Moun ou yo ap plede di: Sa Bondye ap fè a pa bon. Men, se sa yo menm y'ap fè a ki pa bon.
18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity — he dieth for it.
Lè moun k'ap mache dwat la sispann fè sa ki byen pou l' lage kò l' nan fè sa ki mal, l'ap mouri poutèt sa.
19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness, by them he liveth.
Konsa tou, lè mechan an sispann fè mechanste pou li mache dwat, pou li fè sa ki byen, l'ap sove lavi l' poutèt sa.
20 And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.'
Nou di sa Bondye sèl Mèt la ap fè a pa bon. Enben, m'ap jije chak moun dapre sa yo fè. Nou tande, moun pèp Izrayèl yo!
21 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year — in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month — of our removal, come in unto me doth one who is escaped from Jerusalem, saying, 'The city hath been smitten.'
Nan senkyèm jou, dizyèm mwa, douzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, yon moun ki te resi chape kò l' soti lavil Jerizalèm vin pote nouvèl ban mwen, li di m' lavil la tonbe nan men lènmi.
22 And the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.
Lavèy jou sa a, nan aswè, mwen te santi pouvwa Seyè a chita sou mwen avèk fòs. Nan maten, lè moun lan rive, Seyè a demare lang mwen pou m' te ka pale. Mwen pa t' bèbè ankò.
23 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
24 'Son of man, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying: Alone hath been Abraham — and he possesseth the land, and we [are] many — to us hath the land been given for a possession.
-Nonm o! Rès moun k'ap viv nan lavil yo fin kraze nan peyi Izrayèl la ap plede di: Abraram te pou kont li. Yo te ba li tout peyi a pou li. Nou menm nou anpil. Konsa, tout peyi a ap rete pou nou.
25 Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: With the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols, And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit!
Men sa pou ou di yo: Seyè sèl Mèt la pale, li voye di nou: N'ap manje vyann ak tout san li ladan l'. N'ap fè sèvis pou zidòl, n'ap mete san moun deyò, epi nou mete nan tèt nou tout peyi a pral rete pou nou?
26 Ye have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination, Each the wife of his neighbour ye have defiled, And the land ye possess!
Nou met konfyans nou nan nepe nou. N'ap fè yon bann bagay ki derespektan. Tout gason marye ap kouche ak madanm frè parèy yo. Epi nou mete nan tèt nou tout peyi a pral rete pou nou?
27 Thus dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in caves by pestilence die.
W'a pale ak yo, w'a di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale: Rès moun k'ap viv nan lavil kraze yo pral mouri nan lagè. Moun k'ap viv andeyò yo, se bèt nan bwa ki pral manje yo. Moun ki al kache kò yo nan mòn, nan twou wòch, se maladi ki pral fini ak yo.
28 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through.
M'ap fè peyi a tounen yon dezè san pesonn ladan l'. Fòs pouvwa ki te fè l' ap gonfle sou moun lan pral kraze. Mòn peyi Izrayèl yo pral tounen savann. Pesonn p'ap ka vwayaje pase ladan yo.
29 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
Lè m'a pini pèp la pou tout bagay derespektan yo fè yo, lè m'a fè peyi a tounen yon dezè san pesonn ladan l', lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
30 And thou, son of man, the sons of thy people who are speaking about thee, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken one with another, each with his brother, Saying: Come in, I pray you, And hear what [is] the word that cometh out from Jehovah.
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Tout pèp la sou do ou lè yo kontre yonn ak lòt bò miray lavil la, nan papòt lakay yo. Yonn ap di lòt: Ann al tande ki mesaj Seyè a voye ban nou fwa sa a!
31 And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit before thee — My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is going.
Se konsa, tankou si yo te gen dizon, tout pèp la ap sanble bò kote ou, y'ap vin chita devan ou pou yo ka koute sa w'ap di. Men, yo p'ap fè sa w'ap di yo fè. Yo pran pawòl ou yo pou fè bèl fraz. Se enterè yo ase yo konnen.
32 And lo, thou [art] to them as a singer of doting loves, A pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard thy words, and they are not doing them.
Pou yo, ou pa anyen pase yon mizisyen ki gen bèl vwa, k'ap chante bèl ti chante swa, ki konn jwe mizik byen. Y'ap koute tou sa w'ap di yo, men yo p'ap fè sa ou di yo fè.
33 And in its coming in — lo, it hath come, And they have known that a prophet hath been in their midst!'
Men, lè sa ou di ki gen pou rive a rive vre, paske l'ap rive vre, se lè sa a y'a rekonèt te gen yon pwofèt nan mitan yo.
