Jezekiel 21
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:
2 Therefore prophesy, son of man, set your face steadfastly toward Jerusalem, and look toward their holy places, and you shall prophesy against the land of Israel,
-Nonm o! Vire figi ou gade nan direksyon lavil Jerizalèm. Denonse sa y'ap fè nan tanp yo. Avèti moun peyi Izrayèl yo!
3 and you shall say to the land of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against you, and I will draw forth my sword out of its sheath, and I will destroy out of you the transgressor and unrighteous.
W'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou nou: Mwen leve dèyè nou koulye a. Mwen pral rale nepe m' nan djenn li, mwen pral touye nou tout, bon kou move.
4 Because I will destroy out of you the unrighteous and the transgressor, [therefore] so shall my sword come forth out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:
Wi, mwen pral touye bon moun kou move moun nan peyi a. Se poutèt sa menm mwen pral rale nepe m' nan djenn li pou touye tout moun depi nan sid rive nan nò.
5 and all flesh shall know that I the Lord have drawn forth my sword out of its sheath: it shall not return any more.
Tout moun va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki rale nepe m' nan djenn li. Anyen p'ap ka fè m' mete l' nan plas li ankò.
6 And you, son of man, groan with the breaking of your loins; you shall even groan heavily in their sight.
Men ou menm, nonm o! Se pou ou plenn paske kè ou ap fann, ou dekouraje. Wi, se pou ou plenn pou tout moun ka wè ou.
7 And it shall come to pass, if they shall say to you, Therefore do you groan? that you shall say, For the report; because it comes: and every heart shall break, and all hands shall become feeble, and all flesh and every spirit shall faint, and all thighs shall be defiled with moisture: behold, it comes, says the Lord.
Lè y'a mande ou poukisa w'ap plenn konsa, w'a di yo: Se paske m' pran nouvèl malè ki pral rive a. Lè l'a rive vre, kè tout moun pral kase, ponyèt yo ap febli, y'ap pèdi tout fòs kouraj yo, yo p'ap ka kanpe sou janm yo. Lè a rive, li deja sou nou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
9 Son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord; Say, Sword, sword, be sharpened and rage,
-Nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a. Di pèp la men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di yo: Nepe a, nepe a! Men y'ap file l'. Men y'ap netwaye li.
10 that you may kill victims; be sharpened that you may be bright, ready for slaughter, kill, set at nothing, despise every tree.
Y'ap file l' pou touye moun. Y'ap netwaye li pou fè l' fè zèklè. Pa gen fè fèt ankò, paske pèp mwen an pa okipe avètisman ak pinisyon mwen te ba li.
11 And he made it ready for his hand to hold: the sword is sharpened, it is ready to put into the hand of the slayer.
Wi, y'ap netwaye nepe a. Y'ap pare l' pou moun ka sèvi avè l'. Y'ap file l', y'ap netwaye l' pou yo mete l' nan men bouwo a.
12 Cry out and howl, son of man: for this [sword] is come upon my people, this [sword is come] upon all the princes of Israel: they shall be as strangers: [judgment] with the sword is come upon my people: therefore clap your hands, for sentence has been passed:
Ou menm, nonm o! Rele kont rele ou! Rele byen fò. Se pou pèp mwen an y'ap pare nepe a, pou tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo pral touye yo ansanm ak tout pèp mwen an. Pran lapenn pou yo!
13 and what if even the tribe be rejected? it shall not be, says the Lord God.
N'ap sonde pèp la. Si yo derefize chanje, tout bagay sa yo ap rive vre! Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
14 And you, son of man, prophesy, and clap your hands, and take a second sword: the third sword is [the sword] of the slain, the great sword of the slain: and you shall strike them with amazement, lest the heart should faint
Koulye a, nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a. Lèfini, bat men pou ankouraje. Nepe a ap pase de fwa. Nepe a ap pase twa fwa. Nepe a ap touye anpil moun. Nepe a ap sènen yo kote yo vire.
15 and the weak ones be multiplied at every gate—they are given up to the slaughter of the sword: it is well fitted for slaughter, it is well fitted for glittering.
L'ap fè pèp mwen an pèdi tout kouraj li, y'ap tonbe yonn sou lòt. Mwen mete nepe nan tout pòtay yo, yon nepe k'ap bay zèklè, yon nepe ki pare pou touye anpil moun.
16 And do you go on, sharpen yourself on the right and on the left wherever your face may set itself.
Ou menm, nepe file, koupe sou bò dwat, koupe sou bò gòch. Kote ou vire, koupe!
17 And I also will clap my hands, and let loose my fury: I the Lord have spoken [it].
Mwen menm tou, m'ap bat men pou ankouraje. Se pou m' move sou yo jouk mwen p'ap kapab ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.
18 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
19 and you, son of man, appoint you two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may enter in: the two shall go forth of one country; and [there shall be] a force at the top of the way of the city, you shall set [it] at the top of the way,
-Nonm o! Trase de chemen kote pou wa Babilòn lan ka pase ak nepe l'. De chemen yo ap soti nan menm peyi a. Mete de mak nan kalfou kote yo separe a,
20 that the sword may enter in upon Rabbath of the children of Ammon, and upon Judea, and upon Jerusalem in the midst thereof.
yonn pou moutre wa a chemen ki mennen lavil Raba nan peyi Amon, yonn pou moutre l' chemen ki ale peyi Jida rive lavil Jerizalèm ki byen pwoteje ak ranpa a.
21 For the king of Babylon shall stand on the old way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination, to make bright the arrow, and to enquire of the graven images, and to examine [the victims].
Wa Babilòn lan kanpe nan kalfou a bò mak yo, l'ap souke flèch yo voye atè pou li ka konnen ki wout pou li pran. L'ap mande zidòl yo sa pou l' fè, l'ap egzaminen fresi bèt yo touye pou bondye yo.
22 On his right was the divination against Jerusalem, to cast a mound, to open the mouth in shouting, to lift up the voice with crying, to cast a mound against her gates, to cast up a heap, and to build forts.
Bon! Men li kenbe flèch ki bay direksyon lavil Jerizalèm lan! Sa vle di se pou l' atake lavil Jerizalèm ak machin lagè yo, bay lòd pou yo touye tout moun, bay siyal pou yo mache sou lavil la ak gwo poto bwa pou defonse pòtay li yo, pou yo anpile ranblè nan pye miray li yo, pou yo fouye gwo kannal sènen l' toupatou.
23 And he was to them as one using divination before them, and he himself recounting his iniquities, that they might be borne in mind.
Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo p'ap kwè sa w'ap di a se vre paske yo te pase kontra avè l'. Men, mesaj w'ap bay la se pou fè yo chonje tou sa yo fè ki mal, pou fè konnen y'ap fè yo prizonye.
24 Therefore thus says the Lord, Because you have caused your iniquities to be remembered, in the discovery of your wickedness, so that your sins should be seen, in all your wickedness and in your [evil] practices; because you have caused remembrance [of them], in these shall you be taken.
Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la, m'ap di yo: Tout moun konnen jan nou pa bon. Nou fè tout peche nou yo aklè. Nan tou sa n'ap fè nou moutre jan nou mechan. Se poutèt sa, y'ap kondannen nou. N'ap tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo.
25 And you profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day, [even] an end, is come in a sea of iniquity, thus says the Lord;
Kanta pou ou menm, chèf peyi Izrayèl la, krimenèl san respè pou Bondye, jou pa ou la, jou dènye chatiman ou lan ap rive.
26 You have taken off the mitre and put on the crown, it shall not have such [another] after it: you have abased that which was high, and exalted that which was low.
Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki pale. Wete kouwòn lan ak gwo bèl mouchwa madras la nan tèt ou. Tout bagay pral chanje. Sa ki anba yo pral moute chèf, sa ki te chèf yo pral tonbe.
27 Injustice, injustice, injustice, will I make it: woe to it: such shall it be until he comes to whom it belongs; and I will deliver [it] to him.
Kraze, kraze, brize! Wi, m'ap fè lavil la tounen mazi. Men, pou sa rive, fòk moun mwen te chwazi pou pini lavil la vini anvan. Se nan men l' m'ap lage l'.
28 And you, son of man, prophesy, and you shall say, Thus says the Lord, concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach; and you shall say, O sword, sword, drawn for slaughter, and drawn for destruction, awake, that you may gleam.
-Nonm o! Bay mesaj la! Pale. Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di moun peyi Amon yo k'ap plede joure pèp Izrayèl la. Di yo konsa: Nepe a, nepe a pare pou touye! Li byen file pou depatcha. Li byen netwaye pou fè l' fè zèklè.
29 While you are seeing vain [visions], and while you are prophesying falsehoods, to bring yourself upon the necks of ungodly transgressors, the day is come, [even] an end, in a season of iniquity.
Vizyon nou t'ap fè yo pa bon vizyon. Sa yo te di ki gen pou rive a p'ap rive. Nou menm mechan, nou menm malveyan, jou pa nou an, jou pou yo ban nou dènye chatiman nou an ap vini. Nepe a pral tonbe sou nou.
30 Turn, rest not in this place wherein you were born: in your own land will I judge you.
Remete nepe a nan djenn li. Mwen pral jije ou kote yo te kreye ou la, nan peyi kote ou te fèt la.
31 And I will pour out my wrath upon you, I will blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and I will deliver you into the hands of barbarians skilled in working destruction.
M'ap fè ou santi jan m' move. Tankou yon gwo dife k'ap boule, m'ap soufle sou ou, m'ap lage ou nan men lwijanboje yo ki pa konnen pase kraze moun.
32 You shall be fuel for fire; your blood shall be in the midst of your land; there shall be no remembrance at all of you: for I the Lord have spoken [it].
Dife pral boule tout kò ou. San ou pral koule nan tout peyi a. Pesonn p'ap janm chonje ou ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.
