Ezekiel 5

1 Thou therefore son of man Take thee a sharp cutting instrument, a barber’s razor, shalt thou take thee, and shalt cause it to pass upon thy head and upon thy chin, —and shalt take the balances for weighing, and shalt divide the hair.

Seyè a di mwen: -Nonm o! Pran yon kouto byen file, tankou razwa kwafè, wete tout bab nan figi ou ak tout cheve nan tèt ou. Lèfini, pran yon balans pou peze cheve ou koupe yo, w'a fè yo fè twa pil menm fòs.

2 A third part in the fire, shalt thou burn in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled, —and thou shalt take a third part, thou shalt smite it with the cuting instrument round about it, and a third part, shalt thou scatter to the wind, and, a sword, will I, make bare after them;

Lè y'a sispann sènen lavil la, w'a boule yon premye pil nan mitan lavil la. W'a pran yon dezyèm pil, w'a koupe l' ti moso ti moso avèk nepe a pandan w'ap fè tou lavil la pa deyò. Dènye pil cheve a menm, w'a voye l' anlè pou van pote yo ale. Mwen menm, m'a kouri dèyè yo ak nepe mwen.

3 and thou shalt take from thence, a few in number, —and shalt bind them in thy skirts;

W'a sere yon ponyen cheve, w'a koud li nan woulèt rad ou.

4 and of them, again take, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire, -therefrom, shall go forth a fire unto all the house of Israel.

Lèfini, w'a pran de twa branch cheve nan sa ou te sere yo, w'a voye yo jete nan dife pou yo boule. Dife a ap gaye nan tout peyi Izrayèl la.

5 Thus, saith My Lord, Yahweh, This, is Jerusalem, In the midst of the nations, I placed her, — and of the countries round about her;

Men sa Seyè a, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa, di ankò: -Gade lavil Jerizalèm! Mwen te mete l' kanpe nan mitan latè ak tout lòt nasyon yo bò kote l'.

6 But she hath changed my regulations into lawlessness, more than the nations, And my statutes more than the countries which are round bout her, For my regulations, have they rejected, And in my statutes, have they not walked.

Men, Jerizalèm revòlte kont kòmandman ak lòd mwen yo. Li fè pi mal pase lòt nasyon ki bò kote l' yo. Moun li yo derefize swiv prensip mwen te ba yo. Yo pa fè sa m' te ba yo lòd fè a.

7 Therefore, Thus saith My Lord, Yahweh. Because ye have become more rebellious than the nations who are round about you, In my statutes, have not walked. And my regulations, have not done, And according to the regulations of the nations which are round about you, have not done:

Se poutèt sa, nou menm moun lavil Jerizalèm, men sa Seyè ki gen tout pouvwa a, di nou: Nou pa swiv lòd mwen yo, nou pa fè sa m' te mande nou fè. Konsa, nou fè pi mal pase moun lòt nasyon ki bò kote nou yo. Nou pa menm swiv lòd moun lòt nasyon yo gen lakay yo.

8 Therefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Lo! I am against thee, even I, Therefore will I, execute in thy midst, judgments, in the eyes of the nations;

Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè a, Bondye nan syèl la, di ou: M'ap leve dèyè ou tou, mwen pral pini ou devan tout lòt nasyon yo.

9 Yea I will execute upon thee that which I have not executed, And like unto which I will not execute again, - Because of all thine abominations.

N'ap fè yon bann bagay mwen pa vle wè menm. Se poutèt sa m'ap pini lavil Jerizalèm jan mwen poko janm pini l', jan mwen p'ap janm pini l' ankò.

10 Therefore, fathers will eat sons in thy midst, And sons will eat fathers, — And I will execute upon thee judgments, And will scatter the whole remnant of thee, to every wind.

Se poutèt sa, nan lavil Jerizalèm papa ak manman va manje pwòp pitit yo, pitit va manje papa ak manman yo. M'ap pini nou, m'ap gaye rès moun ki va rete yo toupatou.

11 Therefore as I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, — Surely because my sanctuary, thou hast defiled, with all thy detestable things, and with all thine abominations Even I also, will cut off, and mine eye, shall not spare, Yea even I will not pity.

Se poutèt sa, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm Seyè, Sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale: Paske nou derespekte tanp mwen an ak tout vye bagay degoutan ansanm ak bann bagay mwen pa vle wè menm nou te fè ladan l' yo, mwen fè sèman, mwen menm tou m'ap san pitye pou nou. M'ap voye nou jete, mwen p'ap kite nou yonn chape.

12 The third part of thee by pestilence, shall die, and by famine, be consumed in thy midst And the third part by the sword, shall fall round about thee, - And the third part to every wind, will I scatter, and a sword, will I make bare after them.

Pèp la ap fè twa pòsyon, yon pòsyon pral mouri anba maladi ak grangou nan lavil la, yon lòt pòsyon pral mouri nan lagè lòt bò miray ranpa lavil la. M'ap gaye rès la nan tout direksyon. Lèfini, m'ap kouri dèyè yo ak nepe.

13 So shall mine anger have an end, And I will cause mine indignation, to find rest, upon them, and will console myself, - And they shall know that, I, Yahweh, have spoken in my jealousy, when mine indignation hath come to an end, upon them.

M'a tire revanj mwen, m'ap krase yo dèske yo fè m' fè kòlè, m'ap move sou yo jouk mwen pa kapab ankò. Lè sa a, y'a rekonèt se mwen menm Seyè a ki te pale konsa ak yo, paske yo te pouse m' fè jalouzi, mwen te fache sou yo jouk mwen pa kapab ankò.

14 And I will deliver thee up to desolation and reproach, among the nations that are round about thee, —in the eyes of every passer-by.

M'ap fè nou tounen yon dezè nan mitan tout lòt peyi yo, yon wont pou moun k'ap pase bò kote nou ye a.

15 So shall it become a reproach and an insult a warning and an astonishment, to the nations that are round about thee, —in that I have executed upon thee judgments in anger and in indignation and in rebukes of indignation, I, Yahweh have spoken:

Lè m'a fè kòlè a, lè m'a move anpil sou nou an, lè m'a pini nou rèd mare jan mwen te vle l' la, m'ap avili nou, m'ap fè nou tounen yon wont. N'a sèvi yon avètisman pou tout nasyon ki bò kote nou yo, y'a soti pè lè y'a wè sa ki rive nou. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki di sa.

16 In that I have sent the malignant arrows of famine among them which were for destruction, which I will send to destroy you, —and famine, will I increase upon you, and will break for you the staff of bread.

M'ap koupe viv nou, m'ap kite nou mouri grangou. Nou pral santi doulè grangou a tankou si se flèch yo voye sou nou pou touye nou.

17 So will I send upon you famine and mischievous beast and they shall bereave thee, —and pestilence and blood, shall pass through thee, —and a sword, will I bring in upon thee, I Yahweh, have spoken.

M'ap voye grangou ak bèt nan bwa k'ap touye tout pitit nou yo. Move maladi pral tonbe sou nou, y'ap mete san nou deyò. M'ap voye lènmi vin fè nou lagè. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale.
