Jezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children of Israel.
Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Manje sa m' ba ou la a. Manje woulo liv la. Apre sa, al pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
2 So he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,
Se konsa, mwen louvri bouch mwen, li fè m' manje woulo liv la.
3 your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to you. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
Li di m' ankò. -Nonm o! Manje non, plen vant ou ak liv mwen ba ou a. Mwen manje l', li te dous nan bouch mwen kou siwo myèl.
4 And he said to me, Son of man, go your way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
Lèfini, Bondye di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Ale bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo. Di yo tout pawòl mwen te di ou di yo.
5 For you are not sent to a people of hard speech, [but] to the house of Israel;
Se pa bò kote yon nasyon ki pale yon lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Se bò kote moun pèp Izrayèl yo menm mwen voye ou.
6 neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words you would not understand: although if I [had] sent you to such, they would have listened to you.
Se pa bò kote bann moun lòt nasyon yo ki pale lòt lang ki difisil pou ou konprann mwen voye ou. Si se te bò kote moun sa yo m' te voye ou, yo ta koute ou.
7 But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.
Men, pa gen pyès moun nan pèp Izrayèl la k'ap vle koute ou, paske yo pa vle koute m'. Tout moun pèp Izrayèl yo gen tèt di ak move santiman nan kè yo.
8 And, behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen your power against their power.
Koulye a, m'ap fè ou kenbe tèt ak yo tankou yo kenbe tèt ak mwen an, pou ou ka koresponn ak yo.
9 And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking house.
M'ap fè tèt ou di pase wòch, l'ap di tankou wòch dyaman. Pa pè yo, pa tranble devan yo. Se yon move ras moun ki gen tèt di yo ye.
10 And he said to me, Son of man, receive into your heart all the words that I have spoken to you, and hear [them] with your ears.
Bondye di ankò: -Nonm o! Louvri zòrèy ou, tande sa mapral di ou. Kenbe pawòl mwen yo nan kè ou.
11 And go your way, go in to the captivity, to the children of your people, and you shall speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord; whether they will hear, [or] whether they will forbear.
Apre sa, ale bò kote moun yo te depòte yo, moun menm peyi avè ou yo. W'a pale ak yo, w'a di yo men sa mwen menm, Seyè a, m' voye di yo. Yo te mèt koute ou, yo te mèt pa koute ou, zafè yo!
12 Then the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice [as] of a great earthquake, [saying], Blessed [be] the glory of the Lord from his place.
Apre sa, Lespri Bondye a pran m', li leve m' anlè. Mwen tande yon bann vwa dèyè do m' ki t'ap di: Lwanj pou Seyè a ki fè wè gwo pouvwa li nan syèl kote l' rete a.
13 And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.
Mwen tande bri zèl bèt yo ki t'ap bat ansanm ak bri wou yo, ou ta di bri yon foul moun k'ap rele.
14 And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty upon me.
Lespri a te leve m' anlè, li pote m' ale. Pouvwa Seyè a te vin chita sou mwen avèk fòs. Men, mwen te boulvèse, kè m' te sere.
15 Then I passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round [to] them that lived by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.
Se konsa mwen rive lavil Tèl Abid toupre larivyè Keba kote moun yo te depòte yo te rete a. Pandan sèt jou, mwen rete la nan mitan yo, tou dekontwole apre tou sa m' te wè ak tou sa m' te tande.
16 And after the seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man,
Apre sèt jou sa yo, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
17 I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word of my mouth, and shall threaten them from me.
-Nonm o! Mwen mete ou faksyonnè pou nasyon Izrayèl la. W'a tande mesaj m'a ba ou, w'a avèti yo pou mwen.
18 When I say to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you have not warned him, to give warning to the wicked, to turn from his ways, that he should live; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Lè mwen fè ou konnen yon mechan gen pou l' mouri, si 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 li fè yo, men se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.
19 But if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, and you shall deliver your soul.
Men, si ou avèti mechan an, lèfini mechan an pa chanje, li pa kite move pant l'ap swiv la, l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo. Men ou menm, w'ap sove lavi pa ou.
20 And when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits a trespass, and I shall bring punishment before him, he shall die, because you did not warn him: he shall even die in his sins, because his righteousness shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your hand.
Si yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat tanmen fè sa ki mal, m'ap mete yon malè sou wout li pou l' mouri. Si ou pa avèti l', l'ap mouri poutèt peche li fè yo, mwen p'ap chonje jan l' te konn mache dwat anvan sa a. Men, se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li.
21 But if you warn the righteous not to sin, and he sin not, the righteous shall surely live, because you have warned him; and you shall deliver your own soul.
Si okontrè, ou avèti yon moun k'ap mache dwat pou l' pa fè sa ki mal, si li koute ou, si li pa fè sa ki mal, li p'ap mouri. Ou menm tou, w'a sove lavi ou.
22 And the hand of the Lord came upon me; and he said to me, Arise, and go forth into the plain, and there shall you be spoken to.
Mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a sou mwen ankò. Li di m' konsa: -Leve non. Soti al nan fon an. M'a pale la avè ou.
23 And I arose, and went forth to the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, according to the vision, and according to the glory of the Lord, which I saw by the river of Chobar: and I fell on my face.
Mwen leve, mwen desann al nan fon an. Lè m' rive la, mwen wè gwo bèl limyè ki te fè m' konprann Seyè a te kanpe la, tankou mwen te wè l' bò larivyè Keba a. Mwen tonbe sou de jenou m', tèt mwen bese jouk atè.
24 Then the Spirit came upon me, and set me on my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Go in, and shut yourself up in the midst of your house.
Men, Lespri Bondye a antre sou mwen, li fè m' kanpe sou de pye m'. Li pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Al fèmen kò ou lakay ou.
25 And you, son of man, behold, bonds are prepared for you, and they shall bind you with them, and you shall not come forth of the midst of them.
Nonm o! Yo pral mete ou anba kòd. Y'ap mare ou byen mare, ou p'ap ka mete pwent pye ou deyò.
26 Also I will bind your tongue, and you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: because it is a provoking house.
Mwen pral fè lang ou lou nan bouch ou. W'ap bèbè, ou p'ap ka avèti move ras moun tèt di sa yo.
27 But when I speak to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, He that hears, let him hear; and he that is disobedient, let him be disobedient: because it is a provoking house.
Apre sa, lè m'a pale avè ou ankò, m'a ba ou lapawòl, epi w'a ba yo mesaj mwen menm, Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, m'a ba ou. Sa ki vle koute va koute, sa ki pa vle koute, zafè yo! Se yon move ras moun tèt di yo ye.
