Ezekiel 3
1 He said to me, “Son of man, eat what you find. Eat this scroll, and go, speak to the house of Israel.”
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, manje sa ou jwenn. Manje woulo sa a pou ale pale ak lakay Israël.”
2 So I opened my mouth, and he caused me to eat the scroll.
Konsa, mwen te louvri bouch mwen eLi te lonje ban m woulo a pou manje.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, eat this scroll that I give you and fill your belly and your bowels with it.” Then I ate it. It was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, bay vant ou manje, e plen kò ou ak woulo sa ke Mwen ap bay ou a.” Alò, mwen te manje li. Li te dous kon siwo myèl nan bouch mwen.
4 He said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
Konsa, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, ale lakay Israël pou pale pawòl Mwen yo avèk yo.
5 For you are not sent to a people of a strange speech and of a hard language, but to the house of Israel—
Paske ou p ap voye kote yon pèp ak langaj ki difisil, men a pèp Israël la.
6 not to many peoples of a strange speech and of a hard language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely, if I sent you to them, they would listen to you.
Ni a anpil pèp ak pawòl ki pa ka konprann, ni lang difisil, ak pawòl ke ou p ap ka konprann. Men Mwen voye ou kote sila ki ta dwe koute ou yo.
7 But the house of Israel will not listen to you, for they will not listen to me; for all the house of Israel are obstinate and hard-hearted.
Malgre sa, lakay Israël p ap dakò koute ou, akoz yo p ap dakò koute Mwen menm. Anverite, tout lakay Israël gen tèt di e wondonmon.
8 Behold, I have made your face hard against their faces, and your forehead hard against their foreheads.
Gade byen, Mwen te fin fè figi ou di kont figi yo, e fwontèn ou di kont fwontèn yo.
9 I have made your forehead as a diamond, harder than flint. Do not be afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.”
Tankou dyaman, pi di pase silèks, Mwen te fè fwontèn ou. Pa krent yo ni vin twouble devan yo, malgre yo se yon kay rebèl.”
10 Moreover he said to me, “Son of man, receive in your heart and hear with your ears all my words that I speak to you.
Anplis, Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, pran mete nan kè ou tout pawòl Mwen yo, ke Mwen va pale a ou e koute ak atansyon.
11 Go to them of the captivity, to the children of your people, and speak to them, and tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says,’ whether they will hear, or whether they will refuse.”
Ale kote egzile yo, fis a pèp ou yo. Pale ak yo e di yo, menm si yo koute oswa yo pa koute: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a.’”
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing, saying, “Blessed be the LORD’s glory from his place.”
Konsa, Lespri a te leve mwen monte e mwen te tande yon gwo bri k ap gwonde dèyè m: “Beni se glwa SENYÈ a nan plas Li a.”
13 I heard the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
Epi mwen te tande zèl a kreyati vivan yo, youn k ap touche lòt e bri a wou yo bò kote yo, menm yon gwo bri k ap gwonde.
14 So the Spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit; and the LORD’s hand was strong on me.
Konsa, Lespri a te leve mwen monte e te pran m ale. Mwen te vini byen anmè ak laraj nan lespri m, e men SENYÈ a te fò sou mwen.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel Aviv who lived by the river Chebar, and to where they lived; and I sat there overwhelmed among them seven days.
Konsa, mwen te vini kote egzile ki te rete akote rivyè Kebar yo nan Thel-Abib. Mwen te chita la, etonen nèt pandan sèt jou kote yo te rete a.
16 At the end of seven days, the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Nan fen sèt jou yo, pawòl SENYÈ a te vini sou mwen e te di:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel. Therefore hear the word from my mouth, and warn them from me.
“Fis a lòm, Mwen te chwazi ou kon gadyen pou lakay Israël. Depi lè ou tande yon pawòl sòti nan bouch mwen, avèti yo li soti nan Mwen.
18 When I tell the wicked, ‘You will surely die;’ and you give him no warning, nor speak to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life, that wicked man will die in his iniquity; but I will require his blood at your hand.
Lè Mwen di a mechan an: ‘Ou va, anverite, mouri’ e ou pa avèti li, ni pale fò pou avèti mechan an pou kite chemen mechan l lan, pou l ka viv, mechan sila a va mouri nan inikite li, men san li, mwen va egzije li soti nan men ou.
19 Yet if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he will die in his iniquity; but you have delivered your soul.”
Men si ou te avèti mechan an, e li pa kite mechanste li a, ni chemen mechan li an, li va mouri nan inikite li, men ou delivre nanm ou.”
20 “Again, when a righteous man turns from his righteousness and commits iniquity, and I lay a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you have not given him warning, he will die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he has done will not be remembered; but I will require his blood at your hand.
“Ankò, lè yon nonm ladwati ta vire kite ladwati pou komèt inikite e Mwen plase yon obstak devan l, li va mouri. Akoz ou pa t avèti li, li va mouri nan peche li e zèv ladwati ke li te konn fè yo, p ap sonje, men san li, mwen va egzije li nan men ou.
21 Nevertheless if you warn the righteous man, that the righteous not sin, and he does not sin, he will surely live, because he took warning; and you have delivered your soul.”
Sepandan, si ou te avèti nonm dwat la ke moun ladwati pa dwe peche, e li pa peche, li va anverite viv, akoz li te koute avètisman an; epi ou delivre nanm ou.”
22 The LORD’s hand was there on me; and he said to me, “Arise, go out into the plain, and I will talk with you there.”
Men a SENYÈ a te sou mwen la, e Li te di m: “Leve ou menm, ale deyò nan plèn nan, epi la, Mwen va pale avèk ou.”
23 Then I arose, and went out into the plain, and behold, the LORD’s glory stood there, like the glory which I saw by the river Chebar. Then I fell on my face.
Konsa, mwen te leve ale nan plèn nan. Epi gade byen, glwa a SENYÈ a te kanpe la, tankou glwa ke m te wè akote rivyè Kebar a. Epi mwen te tonbe sou figi m.
24 Then the Spirit entered into me and set me on my feet. He spoke with me, and said to me, “Go, shut yourself inside your house.
Nan lè sa a, Lespri a te antre nan mwen. Li te fè m kanpe sou pye m, Li te pale avè m e te di mwen: “Ale, fèmen tèt ou anndan lakay ou.
25 But you, son of man, behold, they will put ropes on you, and will bind you with them, and you will not go out among them.
Selon ou menm, fis a lòm, y ap mete kòd sou ou pou mare ou ak yo. Konsa, ou p ap ka sòti deyò pami yo.
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth so that you will be mute and will not be able to correct them, for they are a rebellious house.
Mwen va fè lang ou kole anlè bouch ou pou ou vin bèbè e pou ou p ap ka fè yo repwoch, paske lakay yo rebèl.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth, and you shall tell them, ‘This is what the Lord GOD says.’ He who hears, let him hear; and he who refuses, let him refuse; for they are a rebellious house.”
Men lè M pale ak ou, Mwen va ouvri bouch ou e ou va di yo: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a’. Sila ki tande a, kite li tande; epi sila ki refize tande a, kite li refize; paske yo se yon kay rebèl.”
