Jezekiel 29

1 In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

Sou douzyèm jou nan dizyèm mwa, dizyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:

2 Son of man, set your face against Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole of Egypt:

-Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon peyi Lejip. Bay mesaj sa a sou farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ak sou tout peyi Lejip.

3 and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.

Pale avè l'. Di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. -Ou menm farawon an, wa peyi Lejip, mwen pral leve dèyè ou tou. Ou tankou yon gwo kayiman ki kouche nan larivyè Nil la. Ou di se pou ou larivyè Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.

4 And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river:

Mwen pral kwoke yon zen antravè nan machwè ou. Tout pwason larivyè a pral kole sou ou. Lèfini, m'ap rale ou soti nan larivyè a ak tout pwason yo kole sou ou.

5 and I will quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.

Mwen pral voye ou jete ansanm ak tout pwason yo nan dezè a. Ou pral tonbe atè a. Yo p'ap ranmase ou, ni yo p'ap antere ou. M'ap fè ou rete la pou zwezo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa vin manje ou.

6 And all the dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.

Lè sa a, tout moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Seyè a di ankò: -Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te konte sou ou, men ou pa t' pi solid pase yon baton wozo.

7 When they took hold of you with their hand, you did break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.

Lè yo apiye sou ou, ou kase nan men yo, ou dechire tout po men yo. Wi, lè yo apiye sou ou, yo tonbe, ren yo kase.

8 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;

Se poutèt sa, koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ou: Mwen pral voye moun atake ou avèk nepe. Yo pral touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt lakay ou.

9 and the land of Egypt shall be ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.

Peyi Lejip la pral tounen yon dezè kote moun pa rete, yon pil mazi. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Ou te di se pou ou Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.

10 Therefore, behold, I am against you, and against all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.

Enben, mwen pral leve dèyè ni ou, ni Nil ou a. Mwen pral fè peyi Lejip la tounen yon pil mazi, yon dezè kote moun pa rete depi lavil Migdòl nan nò jouk lavil Aswan nan sid, rive desann sou fwontyè peyi Letiopi.

11 No foot of man shall pass through it, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited for forty years.

p'ap rete yon moun ni yon bèt nan peyi a. Pandan karant lanne peyi a ap rete san yon moun ladan l'.

12 And I will cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will utterly scatter them into the countries.

M'ap fè peyi Lejip la tounen peyi ki pi devaste sou tout latè. Pandan karant lanne tout lavil peyi Lejip yo pral tounen mazi. Y'ap kraze pi mal pase mazi nenpòt ki lòt lavil ki devaste. Mwen pral depòte moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt nasyon. M'ap gaye yo nan divès lòt peyi.

13 Thus says the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have been scattered;

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Apre karantan, m'ap pase men pran moun peyi Lejip yo nan mitan lòt nasyon kote mwen te gaye yo a,

14 and I will turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;

m'ap mennen yo tounen lakay yo. M'ap fè yo al rete nan zòn Patwòs la, kote zansèt yo te soti a. Y'ap fòme yon ti peyi tou fèb.

15 and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] among the nations.

Lè sa a, se va pi piti peyi nan tout peyi sou latè. Li p'ap janm rive donminen ankenn lòt nasyon. L'ap tèlman fèb, li p'ap janm ka fòse ankenn lòt nasyon fè volonte li.

16 And they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Pèp Izrayèl la p'ap janm bezwen konte sou li ankò. Sa va fè pèp Izrayèl la chonje jan li te gen tò pou l' te fye moun sa yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki sèl Mèt la.

17 And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, on the first [day] of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying,

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

18 Son of man, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they served against it.

-Nonm o! Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, fè lame l' la fè yon gwo jefò pou y' al atake lavil Tir. Li fè sòlda yo travay sitèlman nan pote chay lou, yo pèdi tout cheve nan mitan tèt yo, tout zepòl yo kòche. Men, ni wa a, ni lame l' la pa soti ak anyen apre gwo atak sa a yo te fè sou lavil la.

19 Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward for his army.

Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Mwen pral bay Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, peyi Lejip la pou li. Li pral pran tout richès li yo, l'ap mete men sou tou sa li jwenn, l'ap piye peyi a nèt: Se konsa l'a peye sòlda li yo.

20 In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus says the Lord God:

Wi, pou tout gwo sèvis li rann mwen yo, m'ap fè l' kado peyi Lejip la. Paske, se pou mwen yo t'ap travay. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.

21 In that day shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.

Lè sa a, m'ap fè pèp Izrayèl la pran fòs. Ou menm menm, Ezekyèl, m'ap ba ou lizay lapawòl ankò pou tout moun ka tande ou. Konsa, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
