Ezekiel 14
1 And come in unto me do certain of the elders of Israel, and sit before me.
Lè sa a, gen kèk chèf fanmi Izrayèl yo ki te vin kote m' pou m' te fè yo konnen volonte Bondye.
2 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Se konsa, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
3 'Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity they have put over-against their faces; am I inquired of at all by them?
-Nonm o! Moun sa yo lage kò yo bay zidòl nèt. Yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Yo met nan tèt yo mwen pral kite yo vin mande m' konsèy?
4 'Therefore, speak with them, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every one of the house of Israel who causeth his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath gone in unto the prophet — I Jehovah have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,
Enben, pale ak yo, di yo konsa: Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tout moun nan pèp Izrayèl la ap lage kò yo bay zidòl yo nèt, yo kite zidòl pran nanm yo pou fè sa ki mal. Lèfini, y'ap vin jwenn pwofèt Bondye a! Se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, k'ap ba yo repons yo merite poutèt kantite zidòl y'ap sèvi yo.
5 in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off me by their idols — all of them.
Zidòl yo te fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo vire do ban mwen. Men, m'ap reponn yo pou yo ka tounen vin jwenn mwen ankò.
6 'Therefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye back, yea, turn ye back from your idols, and from all your abominations turn back your faces,
Koulye a, men sa pou ou di moun pèp Izrayèl yo, men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Tounen vin jwenn mwen. Vire do bay zidòl nou yo, sispann fè vye bagay derespektan sa yo.
7 for every one of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who doth sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and doth cause his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath come in unto the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, Jehovah, have answered him for Myself;
Chak fwa yonn nan moun pèp Izrayèl yo osinon yonn nan moun lòt nasyon k'ap viv nan mitan pèp mwen an va vire do ban mwen pou li al sèvi zidòl, si li kite zidòl pran nanm li pou li fè sa ki mal, lèfini pou li konprann pou li al jwenn pwofèt Bondye a pou mande l' mande m' anyen, se mwen menm menm, Seyè a, ki pral ba li repons la.
8 and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for similes, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
M'ap kenbe tèt ak li. M'ap fè l' tounen yon egzanp pou yo mete non l' nan chante. M'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
9 'And the prophet, when he is enticed, and hath spoken a word — I, Jehovah, I have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from the midst of My people Israel.
Si yon pwofèt kite yo pran tèt li pou li pa pale verite, se mwen menm k'ap kite yo pran tèt li. M'ap lonje men m' sou li pou m' pini l', m'ap wete l' nan mitan pèp mwen an, pèp Izrayèl la.
10 And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
Ni pwofèt la, ni moun ki te vin jwenn li an ap peye pou sa yo fè. Y'ap resevwa menm chatiman an.
11 so that the house of Israel do not wander any more from after Me, nor are defiled any more with all their transgressions, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Konsa, moun pèp Izrayèl yo p'ap vire do ban mwen ankò. Yo pa pral avili tèt yo nan fè sa ki mal. Lè sa a, se pèp mwen y'ap ye, se mwen menm k'ap Bondye yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
12 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
13 'Son of man, the land — when it sinneth against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken for it the staff of bread, and sent into it famine, and cut off from it man and beast —
-Nonm o! Si moun k'ap viv nan yon peyi peche kont mwen, si yo pa kenbe pawòl yo ak mwen, m'ap lonje men m' sou yo pou m' pini yo. M'ap koupe viv yo. M'ap fè yon sèl grangou tonbe sou yo, m'ap touye ni moun, ni bèt nan peyi a.
14 and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job — they by their righteousness deliver their own soul — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Si twa moun dwat sa yo, Noe, Danèl ak Jòb, ta nan mitan yo, se yo menm ase ki t'ap sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 'If an evil beast I cause to pass through the land, and it hath bereaved, and it hath been a desolation, without any passing through because of the beast —
Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye bèt sovaj touye tout moun nan peyi a, pou fè peyi a tounen yon dezè moun pè travèse poutèt bèt sovaj sa yo.
16 these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither sons nor daughters do they deliver; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
Si twa moun sa yo ta nan mitan yo, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki t'ap sove. Tout peyi a t'ap tounen yon dezè.
17 'Or — a sword I bring in against that land, and I have said: Sword, thou dost pass over through the land, and I have cut off from it man and beast —
Ou ankò, mwen ta ka voye lagè sou peyi a. Mwen ta ka bay lòd pou nan lagè a yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
18 and these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — they deliver not sons and daughters, for they alone are delivered.
Si twa mesye sa yo ta nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta ka sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Yo ase ki ta sove.
19 'Or — pestilence I send unto that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast —
Si mwen ta voye yon move maladi sou peyi a, si mwen ta move sou li jouk pou m' ta voye yon maladi san renmèd pou m' touye ni moun ni bèt,
20 and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul.
epi si Noe, Danèl ak Jòb te la nan peyi a, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, -se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale, -yo pa ta sove ata pwòp pitit gason ak pitit fi yo. Se yo ase ki ta sove lavi yo, paske se yo ki te mache dwat.
21 'For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Although My four sore judgments — sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence — I have sent unto Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and beast,
Men sa Seyè, Bondye sèl Mèt la, di ankò: M'ap voye kat pi gwo chatiman m' yo sou lavil Jerizalèm: lagè, grangou, bèt sovaj ak move maladi, pou yo touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt.
22 yet, lo, there hath been left in it an escape, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, lo, they are coming forth unto you, and ye have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
Men, si nou wè gen kèk moun ki chape, epi ki sove pitit gason yo ak pitit fi yo, gade yo byen lè y'a vin jwenn nou. Gade jan yo viv, gade sa yo fè. Lè sa a, n'a wè si m' pa t' gen rezon voye tout malè sa yo sou lavil Jerizalèm.
23 And they have comforted you, for ye see their way and their doings, and ye have known that not for nought have I done all that which I have done in her — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Wi, lè n'a wè jan moun sa yo t'ap viv ak sa yo t'ap fè, n'a konnen mwen te gen rezon fè lavil Jerizalèm sa m' te fè l' la. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
