Ezekiel 28
1 The LORD’s word came again to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 “Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
-Nonm o! Pale ak chèf peyi Tir la, di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li: Lògèy vire lòlòj ou! Ou pretann di se yon bondye ou ye. Ou chita tankou Bondye sou fotèy ou, nan mitan lanmè. Ou mèt pran pòz bondye ou jan ou vle, se moun ou ye, ou pa Bondye.
3 behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
Ou met nan tèt ou ou gen plis konprann pase Danèl. Pa gen sekrè ki kache pou ou.
4 By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
Se bon konprann ou ak lespri ou genyen ki fè ou rich konsa. Ou ranmase bonkou lò ak ajan mete lakay ou.
5 By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
Ou gen anpil ladrès nan fè kòmès, ou fè anpil lajan. Ou kite richès ou yo vire tèt ou.
6 “‘therefore the Lord GOD says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di ou: Ou met nan tèt ou ou gen konprann tankou Bondye.
7 therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
Enben, mwen pral fè moun lòt nasyon vin atake ou. San manman pase yo pa genyen. Yo pral kraze dènye bèl bagay ou te ranmase ak bon konprann ou an. Yo p'ap gen respè pou gwo pozisyon ou lan.
8 They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
Yo pral touye ou. Ou pral mouri neye nan mitan lanmè.
9 Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
Lè y'a vini pou yo touye ou la, w'a pretann di se yon bondye ou ye toujou? Pou moun k'ap touye ou yo, se moun w'ap ye. Ou p'ap yon bondye kras.
10 You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord GOD.’”
W'ap mouri tankou moun ki pa konn Bondye. Se moun lòt nasyon yo k'ap touye ou. Mwen fin pale. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
11 Moreover the LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
12 “Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord GOD says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
-Nonm o! Ou pral plenn sò k'ap tann wa peyi Tir la. Di li: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba ou: Te gen yon lè se ou ki te pi bon. Tout moun t'ap gade sou ou. Ou te gen bon konprann. Ou te yon bèl bagay nan je tout moun.
13 You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
Ou t'ap viv nan jaden Edenn lan, jaden Bondye a. Ou te mete tout kalite bèl pyè koute chè sou ou: ribi, topaz, dyaman, krizolit, oniks, jasp, safi, malachi, emwòd. Tout bèl bijou ki te sou ou te fèt an lò. Se jou Bondye t'ap kreye ou la li te fè pare yo pou ou.
14 You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
Mwen mete yon zanj cheriben avè ou pou pwoteje ou. Se sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an ou te rete. Ou mache nan mitan gwo dife.
15 You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
Depi jou Bondye kreye ou la, ou pa t' fè anyen pou yo te fè ou repwòch, jouk jou ou konmanse fè sa ki mal.
16 By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
Pou fè kòmès ou mache, ou lage kò ou nan mechanste. Ou fè peche. Se konsa mwen mete ou deyò sou mòn ki apa pou mwen an. Ou pa t' bon pou sèvis mwen ankò. Zanj mwen te chwazi pou pwoteje ou la mete ou deyò nan mitan boul dife yo.
17 Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendour. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
Ou te wè jan ou te bèl, sa fè ou pèdi tèt ou. Paske ou te rive nan yon bèl pozisyon, ou tanmen aji tankou moun fou. Se poutèt sa mwen voye ou jete atè. Mwen kite ou la devan lòt wa yo pou yo wè sa ki rive ou.
18 By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
Ou sitèlman fè mechanste ak vis nan kòmès ou yo, ou pa respekte ata tanp ou yo. Mwen mete dife nan lavil ou yo. Yo boule nèt. Tout moun ki t'ap gade ou yo wè ou tounen sann.
19 All those who know you amongst the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
Tout moun ki te konnen ou nan lòt peyi yo sezi, yo pè pou sa ki rive ou la pa rive yo tou. Ou fini, ou fini nèt.
20 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
21 “Son of man, set your face towards Sidon, and prophesy against it,
-Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon lavil Sidon an. Denonse sa moun sa yo ap fè.
22 and say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified amongst you. Then they will know that I am the LORD, when I have executed judgements in her, and am sanctified in her.
W'a di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Nou menm, moun lavil Sidon, n'ap leve dèyè nou tou. Apre sa mwen pral fè nou an, moun pral fè lwanj mwen, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, paske mwen pral pini moun ki rete nan lavil la. Konsa, m'a fè moun wè se yon Bondye apa mwen ye.
23 For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am the LORD.
Mwen pral voye maladi sou yo. San moun pral koule nan tout lari. Lènmi ap soti toupatou vin atake yo. Moun pral mouri nan lavil la. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
24 “‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord GOD.”
Seyè a di ankò: -Pèp Izrayèl la ap viv nan mitan yon bann nasyon ki pa vle wè l'. Yo tankou pikan raje k'ap grafiyen l', men yo pral sispann giyonnen l'. Lè sa a, tout moun va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a, sèl Mèt la.
25 “‘The Lord GOD says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples amongst whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy amongst them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Mwen pral ranmase moun pèp Izrayèl yo nan mitan tout nasyon kote m' te gaye yo a, m'ap mennen yo tounen. Konsa, mwen pral fè tout nasyon yo wè se yon Bondye apa mwen ye. Moun pèp Izrayèl yo va rete nan peyi mwen te bay Jakòb, sèvitè m' lan.
26 They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgements on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am the LORD their God.”’”
Yo pral viv nan peyi a san danje, san malè. Yo pral bati kay, y'ap plante jaden rezen. M'ap pini tout nasyon ki rete toupre yo epi ki pa vle wè yo. Pèp Izrayèl la menm ap viv san danje, san malè. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki Bondye yo a.
