< Jezekiel 24 >

1 And the word of the Lord came to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth [day] of the month, saying,
Nan dizyèm jou dizyèm mwa nevyèm lanne depi yo te depòte pèp Izrayèl la, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
2 Son of man, write for yourself daily from this day, on which the king of Babylon set himself against Jerusalem, [even] from this day.
-Nonm o! Ekri dat jòdi a, paske se jòdi a wa peyi Babilòn lan pral sènen lavil Jerizalèm.
3 And speak a parable to the provoking house, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord; Set on the caldron, and pour water into it:
Ou pral bay yon pawoli sou move ras moun sa yo ki gen tèt di. W'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Mete yon chodyè sou dife, plen l' dlo.
4 and put the pieces into it, every prime piece, the leg and shoulder taken off from the bones,
Mete vyann ladan l', pi bon moso vyann ou konnen: jigo ak zepòl. Mete bon moso zo ladan l' tou.
5 [which are] taken from choice cattle, and burn the bones under them: her bones are boiled and cooked in the midst of her.
W'a pran yo nan mouton ki pi gra yo. Mete bon bwa anba chodyè a. Kite dlo a bouyi byen bouyi jouk vyann lan ak zo yo byen kwit.
6 Therefore thus says the Lord; O bloody city, the caldron in which there is scum, and the scum has not gone out of, she has brought it forth piece by piece, no lot has fallen upon it.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di apre sa: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a! Li tankou yon chodyè wouye yo pa janm foubi. Wete tout moso vyann yo yonn apre lòt. Pa chwazi pou kite anyen ladan l'.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her; I have set it upon a smooth rock: I have not poured it out upon the earth, so that the earth should cover it;
Li fè anpil san koule nan mitan li. Men, san an pa koule atè pou pousyè te kouvri l'. San an koule sou wòch.
8 that my wrath should come up for complete vengeance to be taken: I set her blood upon a smooth rock, so as not to cover it.
Mwen kite san an la sou wòch yo, kote yo pa ka kouvri l', pou l' ka mande revanj paske sa fè m' fache anpil.
9 Therefore thus says the Lord, I will also make the firebrand great,
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -Madichon pou lavil ki renmen fè san koule a. Se mwen menm ki pral fè yon gwo pil bwa.
10 and I will multiply the wood, and kindle the fire, that the flesh may be consumed, and the liquor boiled away;
Pote bwa an kantite toujou! Limen dife a! Kwit vyann yo byen kwit! Mete zepis ladan l'! Boule zo yo!
11 and that [it] may stand upon the coals, that her brass may be thoroughly heated, and be melted in the midst of her filthiness, and her scum may be consumed,
Mete chodyè fè a tou vid sou chabon dife yo. Kite l' vin tou wouj. Konsa lawouj la va tonbe, l'a dekale. Chodyè a va vin pwòp ankò pou l' ka sèvi.
12 and her abundant scum may not come forth of her.
Ala traka pou wete lawouj la! Atousa, lawouj la p'ap fin soti nèt nan dife a.
13 Her scum shall become shameful, because you did defile yourself: and what if you shall be purged no more until I have accomplished my wrath?
Jerizalèm, lawouj la se vye malpwòpte ou t'ap fè nan libètinaj ou yo. Mwen te soti pou m' te mete ou nan bon kondisyon, men ou pa rive fin nan bon kondisyon an nèt. Se poutèt sa, ou p'ap janm nan bon kondisyon ankò toutotan mwen pa fè ou santi tou sa mwen ka fè ou nan kòlè mwen.
14 I the Lord have spoken; and it shall come, and I will do [it]; I will not delay, neither will I have any mercy: I will judge you, says the Lord, according to your ways, and according to your devices: therefore will I judge you according to your bloodshed, and according to your devices will I judge you, you unclean, notorious, and abundantly provoking one.
Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Lè a rive pou m' fè sa m' te di m'ap fè a. Mwen p'ap chanje lide. M'ap san pitye, mwen p'ap pran priyè. Yo pral pini ou pou sa ou te fè, pou jan ou te mennen bak ou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
16 Son of man, behold I take from you the desire of your eyes by violence: you shall not lament, neither shall you weep.
-Nonm o! Mwen pral rete konsa, mwen pral pran moun ou renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt ou a. Men, pa plenyen, pa rele, pa kite dlo sot nan je ou!
17 You shall groan for blood, and have mourning upon your loins; your hair shall not be braided upon you, and your sandals [shall be] on your feet; you shall in no wise be comforted by their lips, and you shall not eat the bread of men.
Plenn sò ou. Men, pa kite moun tande ou! Pa fè anyen ki pou moutre ou nan lapenn tankou yon moun ki gen lanmò. Mare bèl foula ou nan tèt ou. Mete sapat nan pye ou. Pa kouvri figi ou. Pa manje manje moun voye ba ou.
18 And I spoke to the people in the morning, as he commanded me in the evening, and I did in the morning as it was commanded me.
Jou sa a nan maten, mwen t'ap pale ak pèp la. Nan aswè, madanm mwen rete konsa, li mouri. Nan denmen maten, mwen fè jan Seyè a te di m' fè a.
19 And the people said to me, Will you not tell us what these things are that you do?
Pèp la mande m': -Eske ou ka di nou poukisa ou fè sa w'ap fè la a?
20 Then I said to them, The word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Mwen reponn yo: -Seyè a te pale avè m', li te di m',
21 Say to the house of Israel, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] profane my sanctuary, the boast of your strength, the desire of your eyes, and for which your souls are concerned; and your sons and your daughters, whom you have left, shall fall by the sword.
pou m' di moun pèp Izrayèl yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye pou yo: Nou kontan gwo kay solid nou mete apa pou mwen an. Nou renmen l' tankou de grenn je nan tèt nou, nou fèb anpil pou li. Enben, mwen pral fè yo derespekte kay mwen an. Pitit gason ak pitit fi nou te kite lavil Jerizalèm yo pral mouri nan lagè.
22 And you shall do as I have done: you shall not be comforted at their mouth, and you shall not eat the bread of men.
Lè sa a, n'a fè jan nou wè m' fè a. Nou p'ap kouvri figi nou, nou p'ap manje pen nan men moun.
23 And your hair [shall be] upon your head, and your shoes on your feet: neither shall you at all lament or weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and shall comfort every one his brother.
N'ap toujou mare bèl foula nan tèt nou. N'ap toujou mete sapat nan pye nou, nou p'ap rele, nou p'ap kriye jan moun yo fè lè yo gen lanmò. Men, nou pral deperi akòz mechanste nou yo. Nou pral plenn sò nou yonn bay lòt.
24 And Jezekiel shall be for a sign to you: according to all that I have done shall you do, when these things shall come; and you shall know that I am the Lord.
Ezekyèl menm pral yon siy pou nou. N'a fè menm jan li te fè a. Lè bagay sa a va rive, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè sèl Mèt la.
25 And you, son of man, [shall it] not [be] in the day when I take their strength from them, the pride of their boasting, the desires of their eyes, and the pride of their soul, their sons and their daughters,
Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! M'ap wete nan men yo kay byen solid ki te tout pwoteksyon yo a, bèl kay ki te fè kè yo kontan an, kay yo te renmen tankou de grenn je nan tèt yo a, kay yo te fèb anpil pou li a. M'ap wete l' ansanm ak pitit gason ak pitit fi yo.
26 that in that day he that escapes shall come to you, to tell [it] you in your ears?
Jou sa a, yon moun va chape kò l', l'a kouri vin pote nouvèl la ba ou.
27 In that day your mouth shall be opened to him that escapes; you shall speak, and shall be no longer dumb: and you shall be for a sign to them, and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Menm jou sa a, w'a ka louvri bouch ou pale ak moun ki chape a. Wi, w'a ka pale, ou p'ap bèbè ankò. Se konsa ou va yon siy pou pèp la. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
