Ezekiel 11

1 And lift me up doth a spirit, and it bringeth me in unto the east gate of the house of Jehovah, that is facing the east, and lo, at the opening of the gate twenty and five men, and I see in their midst Jaazaniah son of Azzur, and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, heads of the people.

Anplis, Lespri a te leve m monte e te mennen mwen nan pòtay lès lakay SENYÈ a ki te anfas vè lès. Epi gade byen, venn-senk mesye nan antre pòtay la e pami yo, mwen te wè Jaazania, fis a Azzur a ak Pelathia, fis a Benaja a, chèf yo a pèp la.

2 And He saith unto me, 'Son of man, these [are] the men who are devising iniquity, and who are giving evil counsel in this city;

Li te di mwen: “Fis a lòm, sila yo se mesye yo ki fè plan inikite e ki bay move konsèy nan vil sa a,

3 who are saying, It [is] not near — to build houses, it [is] the pot, and we the flesh.

ka p di: ‘Tan pou bati kay yo pa pwòch. Vil sa a se chodyè a e nou se chè a.’

4 Therefore prophesy concerning them, prophesy, son of man.'

Akoz sa, pwofetize kont yo, fis a lòm. Se pou ou pwofetize!”

5 And fall upon me doth the Spirit of Jehovah, and He saith unto me, 'Say: Thus said Jehovah: Rightly ye have said, O house of Israel, And the steps of your spirit I have known.

Lespri SENYÈ a te tonbe sou mwen e Li te di mwen: “Pale konsa, ‘Konsa pale SENYÈ a: “Konsa ou reflechi, o lakay Israël, paske Mwen konnen panse nou yo.

6 Ye multiplied your wounded in this city, And filled its out-places with the wounded.

Nou te miltipliye moun ki touye yo nan vil sa a, e plen ri yo nèt avèk yo.”

7 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Your wounded whom ye placed in its midst, They [are] the flesh, and it [is] the pot, And you he hath brought out from its midst.

“‘Pou sa, pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Moun touye nou yo ke nou te fè kouche nan mitan vil la, se chè a, e vil la se chodyè a; men nou va mennen sòti ladann.

8 A sword ye have feared, And a sword I bring in against you, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.

Nou te pè yon nepe. Pou sa, mwen va mennen yon nepe rive sou nou,” deklare Senyè BONDYE a.

9 And I have brought you out of its midst, And given you into the hand of strangers, And I have done among you judgments.

“Epi Mwen va mennen nou sòti nan mitan vil la. Mwen va delivre nou nan men a etranje yo, e egzekite jijman kont nou.

10 By the sword ye do fall, On the border of Israel I do judge you, And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.

Nou va tonbe pa nepe. Mwen va jije nou jis rive nan lizyè Israël la. Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a.

11 It is not to you for a pot, Nor are ye in its midst for flesh, At the border of Israel I do judge you.

Vil la p ap yon chodyè pou nou, ni nou p ap chè nan mitan l. Men Mwen va jije nou jis rive nan lizyè Israël la.

12 And ye have known that I [am] Jehovah, For in My statutes ye have not walked, And My Judgments ye have not done, And according to the judgments of the nations Who are round about you — ye have done!'

Konsa, nou va konnen ke Mwen se SENYÈ a, paske nou pa t mache nan règleman Mwen yo. Ni nou pa t swiv lalwa Mwen yo, men nou te aji selon lalwa a nasyon sila ki antoure nou yo.”’”

13 And it cometh to pass, at my prophesying, that Pelatiah son of Benaiah is dying, and I fall on my face, and cry — a loud voice — and say, 'Ah, Lord Jehovah, an end Thou art making of the remnant of Israel.'

Alò, li te vin rive ke pandan mwen t ap pwofetize a, ke Pelathia, fis a Benaja a, te mouri. Epi mwen te tonbe sou figi mwen, mwen te kriye fò ak yon gwo vwa e mwen te di: “Anmwey, Senyè BONDYE! Èske Ou va mennen retay Israël la pou fin detwi nèt?”

14 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,

Epi pawòl SENYÈ a te rive kote mwen. Li te di:

15 'Son of man, thy brethren, thy brethren, men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel — all of it, [are] they to whom inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, Keep far off from Jehovah;

“Fis a lòm, frè ou yo, fanmi ou yo, egzile parèy ou yo ak tout lakay Israël la, yo tout, se moun a sila abitan Jérusalem yo te di: ‘Ale lwen SENYÈ a; peyi sa a te bay a nou kon posesyon.’”

16 it [is] ours, the land hath been given for an inheritance; therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because I put them afar off among nations, And because I scattered them through lands, I also am to them for a little sanctuary, In lands whither they have gone in.

“Akoz sa, ou va di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Byenke mwen te deplase yo byen lwen pami nasyon yo e byenke mwen te gaye yo pami peyi yo, malgre mwen va yon abri pou yo pou yon ti tan nan peyi kote yo rive yo.”’

17 Therefore say: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: And I have assembled you from the peoples, And I have gathered you from the lands, Into which ye have been scattered, And I have given to you the ground of Israel.

“Akoz sa, ou va di: ‘Konsa pale Senyè BONDYE a: “Mwen va ranmase nou soti nan pèp yo, Mwen va rasanble nou sòti nan peyi pami sila nou te gaye yo, e Mwen va bannou peyi Israël la.”

18 And they have gone in thither. And turned aside all its detestable things, And all its abominations — out of it.

“‘Lè yo vini la, yo va retire tout bagay abominab li yo ak tout abominasyon li yo sòti ladann.

19 And I have given to them one heart, And a new spirit I do give in your midst, And I have turned the heart of stone out of their flesh, And I have given to them a heart of flesh.

Konsa, Mwen va bay yo yon sèl kè e Mwen va mete yon lespri nèf anndan yo. Epi Mwen va retire kè wòch ki nan chè yo a, e Mwen va bay yo yon kè ki fèt ak chè,

20 So that in My statutes they walk, And My judgments they keep, and have done them, And they have been to me for a people, And I am to them for God.

pou yo ka mache nan règleman Mwen yo e kenbe lalwa Mwen yo pou fè yo. Konsa, yo va pèp Mwen e Mwen va Bondye yo.

21 As to those whose heart is going unto the heart Of their detestable and their abominable things, Their way on their head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'

Men pou sila ak kè k ap swiv bagay abominab yo ak abominasyon yo, Mwen va mennen kondwit yo desann sou tèt yo,” deklare “Senyè BONDYE a.”

22 And the cherubs lift up their wings, and the wheels [are] over-against them, and the honour of the God of Israel [is] over them above.

Epi cheriben yo te leve zèl yo ak wou akote yo e glwa a Bondye Israël la te vin pann sou yo.

23 And the honour of Jehovah goeth up from off the midst of the city, and standeth on the mountain, that [is] on the east of the city.

Glwa SENYÈ a te monte soti nan mitan vil la e te kanpe anwo mòn ki nan pati lès vil la.

24 And a spirit hath lifted me up, and bringeth me in to Chaldea, unto the Removed, in a vision, by the Spirit of God, and go up from off me doth the vision that I have seen;

Epi Lespri a te fè m leve e te mennen mwen nan yon vizyon pa Lespri Bondye a, bò kote egzile Chaldée yo. Se konsa vizyon mwen te wè a, te kite mwen.

25 and I speak unto the Removed all the matters of Jehovah that He hath shewed me.

Epi mwen te di egzile yo tout bagay ke SENYÈ a te montre mwen.
