Ezekiel 36
1 You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
Seyè a di ankò: -Koulye a, nonm o! Men mesaj pou ou bay mòn Izrayèl yo, koute sa Seyè a voye di nou.
2 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
Wi, men mesaj mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye ban nou: Lènmi moun Izrayèl yo ap pase nou nan betiz, y'ap di: Tout ansyen mòn sa yo pou nou koulye a!
3 Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
Se poutèt sa, bay mesaj sa a. Fè yo konnen sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, voye di yo: Lè nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo te anvayi peyi Izrayèl la pou yo te piye l', pou yo pran l' pou yo, tout moun t'ap pale sou nou, yo t'ap pase nou nan betiz.
4 Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
Enben, koulye a, mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, koute sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di nou. Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou tout mòn ak tout ti mòn, pou tout ravin ak tout fon nan peyi a, pou tout kay kraze moun yo kouri kite ak pou tout lavil yo ki tounen mazi. Moun lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo te piye nou, yo te pase nou nan betiz.
Men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, di ankò: M'ap move anpil, m'ap denonse lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo. M'ap denonse tout moun nan peyi Edon an tou. Lè yo t'ap pran peyi mwen an pou yo te piye l' nèt ale a, yo pa t' manke kontan, yo pa t' manke pase nou nan rizib.
Se poutèt sa, men mesaj pou ou bay peyi Izrayèl la. Pale ak tout mòn yo, tout ti mòn yo, tout ravin yo ak tout fon yo. Di yo: Men sa Seyè a voye di: Koulye a mwen move, mwen fache, m'ap pale! Wi, nou te soufri lè lòt nasyon yo t'ap joure nou.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
enben wi, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, di: Mwen leve men m' pou m' fè sèman lòt nasyon ki sou fwontyè nou yo pral peye pou jan yo te pase nou nan betiz la.
8 But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
Men, sou tout mòn peyi Izrayèl yo, pyebwa yo pral fè fèy ankò, y'ap donnen pou nou menm, pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la. Paske nou pa lwen tounen nan peyi nou.
9 I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
Paske mwen kanpe la avèk nou. Mwen pral swen nou. Tè jaden nou yo pral raboure, yo pral plante.
10 I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
Mwen pral fè tout moun fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo peple, yo pral vin anpil. Tout lavil yo pral plen moun. Yo pral rebati tout kay ki te kraze yo.
11 I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Mwen pral fè ni moun ni bèt peple nan peyi a. Yo pral vin anpil, y'ap fè anpil pitit, m'ap fè nou rete kote nou te konn rete anvan an. M'ap fè nou viv pi byen pase jan nou te konn viv la. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
12 I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
M'ap mennen nou tounen, nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, pou nou ka viv nan peyi nou an. Nou pral pran peyi a pou nou. Peyi a pral rele nou pa nou. Li p'ap janm kite pitit li yo mouri ankò.
13 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Yo te mache di: Peyi a ap manje moun li yo. L'ap touye tout pitit moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Se te vre.
14 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
Men, depi jòdi a, peyi a p'ap manje moun li yo ankò, li p'ap touye pitit moun ki rete ladan l' yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
M'ap fè lòt nasyon yo sispann pase nou nan betiz. Nou p'ap tande jouman yo nan zòrèy nou ankò. Yo p'ap lonje dwèt sou nou ankò pou fè nou wont. Peyi a p'ap touye pitit li yo ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
16 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
17 “You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
-Nonm o! Lè moun pèp Izrayèl yo te rete nan peyi yo a, yo mennen bak yo yon jan ki mete peyi a nan kondisyon li pa ka fè sèvis Bondye ankò. Lavi yo t'ap mennen an te mete yo nan kondisyon yo pa t' ka fè sèvis pou mwen. Nan je mwen yo pa t' pi bon pase yon fi ki gen lalin li.
18 So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
Se poutèt sa mwen fè yo santi jan mwen ka move sou yo, paske yo te fè anpil san koule nan peyi a, yo te mete zidòl toupatou. Konsa yo te mete peyi a nan kondisyon pou l' pa t' ka fè sèvis pou mwen ankò.
19 I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
Mwen gaye yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo. Mwen simaye yo nan tout peyi etranje yo. Mwen pini yo pou jan yo te mennen bak yo mal ak pou tou sa yo te fè.
20 And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
Nan tout peyi kote yo rive, yo lakòz moun derespekte non mwen ki yon non apa. Yo fè moun ap di sou yo: Men pèp Seyè a wi! Yo blije soti kite peyi li te ba yo a!
21 But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
Sa te ban m' tèt chaje pou m' te wè jan moun pèp Izrayèl yo te lakòz moun t'ap derespekte non m' nan tout peyi kote yo pase.
22 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
Se poutèt sa, w'a di moun pèp Izrayèl yo: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Sa m' pral fè a, se pa pou tèt nou m'ap fè l', tande. Se poutèt non mwen ki yon non apa, non nou te trennen nan labou nan tout peyi kote nou pase yo.
23 I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Menm jan nou te trennen non m' nan labou nan mitan lòt nasyon yo, konsa m' pral sèvi ak nou pou fè lòt nasyon yo wè jan m' gen pouvwa, jan m' se yon Bondye ki apa. Lè sa a, nasyon yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
24 What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
M'ap wete nou nan mitan nasyon yo, m'ap sanble nou soti nan tout peyi yo, m'ap mennen nou tounen nan peyi pa nou an.
25 [It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
M'ap benyen nou nan bon dlo klè pou nou ka vin nan kondisyon pou fè sèvis pou mwen. M'ap mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi m', m'ap wete tout vye bagay derespektan nou t'ap fè yo ak tout zidòl nou yo.
26 I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
M'ap mete lòt santiman nan kè nou. M'ap mete lòt lide nan tèt nou. M'ap wete tèt di nou an, m'ap fè nou tande lè m' pale nou.
27 I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
M'ap mete Lespri m' nan nou, konsa m'ap fè nou mache dwat dapre lòd mwen ban nou, pou nou fè tou sa mwen mande nou fè. N'a kenbe prensip mwen yo.
28 You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Lè sa a, n'a rete nan peyi mwen te bay zansèt nou yo. Se nou menm ki pral pèp ki rele m' pa mwen. Mwen menm se Bondye nou m'ap ye.
29 I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
M'ap delivre nou anba tout vye bagay mal nou t'ap fè yo. M'ap bay ble yo lòd pou yo donnen anpil. Konsa mwen p'ap janm voye grangou sou nou ankò.
30 I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
M'ap fè pye fwi nou yo ak jaden nou yo donnen an kantite. Konsa, nou p'ap nan grangou, nou p'ap wont ankò devan lòt nasyon yo.
31 When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
Lè sa a, n'a chonje jan nou te mennen bak nou mal, jan nou te fè sa ki pa t' bon menm. Nou pral gen degoutans pou tèt nou paske nou te fè mechanste ak anpil bagay lèd devan Bondye.
32 But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
Nou menm, moun Izrayèl yo, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di nou: Mwen vle fè nou konnen se pa poutèt nou m'ap fè sa m'ap fè a. Non! Okontrè, se wont pou nou ta wont, se bese pou nou ta bese je nou pou sa nou te fè.
33 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Jou m'a mete nou nan kondisyon pou sèvi m' lan, lè m'a wete nou anba tout peche nou yo, m'a kite nou al rete nan lavil nou yo, m'a kite nou rebati kay kraze nou yo.
34 People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
Tout moun k'ap pase bò jaden nou yo te wè jan yo te ravaje, jan yo te tounen dezè. Men, mwen pral fè nou travay jaden nou yo ankò.
35 They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
Konsa tout moun va di: Gade peyi ki te ravaje a non! Koulye a, li tounen yon bèl jaden tankou jaden Edenn lan. Gade jan lavil ki te fin kraze, piye, demoli yo tounen bèl lavil ak gwo ranpa plen moun non!
36 When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
Lè sa a, rès moun lòt nasyon sou fwontyè nou yo ki chape anba lanmò va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki rebati tout lavil ki te kraze yo, se mwen menm ki replante jaden ki te ravaje yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'!
37 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
Seyè sèl Mèt la pale, li di: M'ap kite moun pèp Izrayèl yo vin mande m' sekou. M'ap kite yo peple tankou yon bann mouton.
38 as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Lavil ki te fin kraze yo pral plen moun tankou lavil Jerizalèm plen mouton yo mennen pou touye pou Bondye lè jou fèt yo. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
