Ezekiel 9
1 Then I heard Yahweh call out loudly, “[You men who are going to punish this city, ] bring here the guards of the city, each carrying a weapon.”
Answit, Li te kriye fò pou m tande ak yon gwo vwa e te di: “Vin pi pre, O nou menm ki an chaj vil la, chak moun ak pwòp zam destriksyon li nan men l.”
2 Then I saw six men coming from the north gate of the temple area. Each one was carrying a weapon. With them was a man wearing a white linen robe. [carried] at his side a case containing things to write with. They [all] came into the temple and stood beside the bronze altar.
Gade byen, sis moun te sòti nan pòtay anlè ki pozisyone vè nò a, chak moun ak pwòp zam masak li nan men l. Pami yo, te gen yon sèten nonm abiye an len, ak yon valiz pou ekri nan senti l. Epi yo te antre ladann e te kanpe akote lotèl an bwonz lan.
3 [Then] the (glory/dazzling light) [that symbolized the presence] of the God of Israel rose up from above the four winged creatures and moved to the entrance of the temple. Then Yahweh called to the man wearing the linen robe,
Konsa, laglwa Bondye Israël la te leve monte soti nan cheriben kote l te poze a, pou rive nan papòt tanp lan. Epi Li te rele nonm abiye an len ak yon valiz pou ekri nan senti li an.
4 and said to him, “Go throughout Jerusalem and put a mark on the foreheads of those who are very sad [DOU] because of the detestable things that are being done inside the city.”
SENYÈ a te di li: “Ale pase nan mitan vil la, menm nan mitan Jérusalem, mete yon mak sou fwon a mesye ki plenn nan gòj e ki fè soupi pou tout abominasyon k ap komèt nan mitan li yo.”
5 While I was listening, he said to the other six men, “Follow the man wearing the white robe, and kill people. Do not pity them or act mercifully toward them.
Men pou lòt yo, Li te di nan zòrèy mwen: “Travèse vil la dèyè li pou frape. Pa kite zye ou fè pitye, ni pa ralanti.
6 Slaughter old men, young men and women, older women and children, but do not harm any of those who have that mark on their forehead. Start at my temple.” So they began by killing the elders who were [worshiping idols] in front of the temple.
Konplètman, touye granmoun, jenn gason, jenn fi, timoun yo ak fanm, men pa touche okenn moun ki gen mak la. Kòmanse soti nan sanktyè pa M nan.” Konsa, yo te kòmanse ak ansyen ki te devan tanp yo.
7 Then Yahweh said to those men, “Pollute the temple by filling the [with the corpses of those whom] you kill! Start now!” So they went out and starting killing people throughout the city.
Epi Li te di yo: “Souye tanp lan e plen lakou a ak mò yo. Ale deyò!” Konsa, yo te ale deyò pou te frape moun nan vil yo.
8 While they were doing that, I was left alone. I prostrated myself on the ground and cried out, “Yahweh my Lord, are you going to get rid of all the people of Israel and Judah who are still alive, while you are severely punishing [MTY] [the people of] Jerusalem?”
Pandan yo t ap frape moun yo e mwen sèl te rete, mwen te tonbe sou figi mwen, mwen te kriye fò pou te di: “Anmwey, Senyè BONDYE! Èske W ap detwi tout retay Israël la pandan W ap vide gwo kòlè ou sou Jérusalem nan?”
9 He replied, “The sins of the people [MTY] of Israel and Judah are extremely great. People are murdered [MTY] everywhere [in this country], and this city is full of [people who act] unjustly. They say, ‘Yahweh has abandoned this country, and he does not [what we are doing].’
Li te reponn mwen: “Inikite lakay Israël ak Juda yo vin trè trè gran. Peyi a vin plen ak san, e vil la plen ak pèvèsyon. Paske yo di: ‘SENYÈ a te abandone tout peyi a e SENYÈ a pa wè!’
10 [So] I will not pity them or act mercifully toward them. I will do to them the evil things that they have done to other people.”
Men pou Mwen, zye M p ap gen pitye ni Mwen p ap ralanti, men Mwen va fè kondwit yo vin rive sou pwòp tèt yo.”
11 Then the man wearing the linen robe returned, saying, “I have done what you commanded me to do.”
Epi gade byen, nonm abiye an len, ki te gen valiz ekri nan senti li jan nou te di a, t ap di: “Mwen te fè l jis jan ou te kòmande mwen an.”
