Ezekyèl 29
1 Sou douzyèm jou nan dizyèm mwa, dizyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 -Nonm o! Vire tèt ou gade nan direksyon peyi Lejip. Bay mesaj sa a sou farawon an, wa peyi Lejip la, ak sou tout peyi Lejip.
Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt;
3 Pale avè l'. Di li men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba li. -Ou menm farawon an, wa peyi Lejip, mwen pral leve dèyè ou tou. Ou tankou yon gwo kayiman ki kouche nan larivyè Nil la. Ou di se pou ou larivyè Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.
Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, thou great dragon, that liest in the midst of thy rivers, and sayest, “My river is my own, and I have made it for myself.”
4 Mwen pral kwoke yon zen antravè nan machwè ou. Tout pwason larivyè a pral kole sou ou. Lèfini, m'ap rale ou soti nan larivyè a ak tout pwason yo kole sou ou.
And I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to cleave to thy scales, and I will draw thee forth from the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers which cleave to thy scales.
5 Mwen pral voye ou jete ansanm ak tout pwason yo nan dezè a. Ou pral tonbe atè a. Yo p'ap ranmase ou, ni yo p'ap antere ou. M'ap fè ou rete la pou zwezo nan syèl ak bèt nan bwa vin manje ou.
And I will cast thee into the desert, thee and all the fish of thy rivers; thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered; to the beasts of the field and the birds of heaven I have given thee for food.
6 Lè sa a, tout moun peyi Lejip yo va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Seyè a di ankò: -Moun pèp Izrayèl yo te konte sou ou, men ou pa t' pi solid pase yon baton wozo.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am Jehovah; because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Lè yo apiye sou ou, ou kase nan men yo, ou dechire tout po men yo. Wi, lè yo apiye sou ou, yo tonbe, ren yo kase.
When they took hold of thee by thy handle, thou didst break and pierce their whole shoulder; and when they leaned upon thee, thou didst go to pieces, and madest all their loins to shake.
8 Se poutèt sa, koulye a, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ou: Mwen pral voye moun atake ou avèk nepe. Yo pral touye dènye moun ak dènye bèt lakay ou.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee;
9 Peyi Lejip la pral tounen yon dezè kote moun pa rete, yon pil mazi. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Ou te di se pou ou Nil la ye, se ou ki fè l'.
and the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am Jehovah, because he hath said, “The river is mine, and I have made it.”
10 Enben, mwen pral leve dèyè ni ou, ni Nil ou a. Mwen pral fè peyi Lejip la tounen yon pil mazi, yon dezè kote moun pa rete depi lavil Migdòl nan nò jouk lavil Aswan nan sid, rive desann sou fwontyè peyi Letiopi.
Therefore, behold, I am against thee, and against thy rivers; and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from Migdol even to Syene, and to the borders of Ethiopia.
11 p'ap rete yon moun ni yon bèt nan peyi a. Pandan karant lanne peyi a ap rete san yon moun ladan l'.
There shall not pass through it the foot of man, and the foot of beast shall not pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
12 M'ap fè peyi Lejip la tounen peyi ki pi devaste sou tout latè. Pandan karant lanne tout lavil peyi Lejip yo pral tounen mazi. Y'ap kraze pi mal pase mazi nenpòt ki lòt lavil ki devaste. Mwen pral depòte moun peyi Lejip yo nan lòt nasyon. M'ap gaye yo nan divès lòt peyi.
I will make the land of Egypt desolate amidst the lands that are desolate, and her cities, among the cities that are laid waste, shall be desolate forty years; and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Apre karantan, m'ap pase men pran moun peyi Lejip yo nan mitan lòt nasyon kote mwen te gaye yo a,
Yet thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the nations whither they are scattered;
14 m'ap mennen yo tounen lakay yo. M'ap fè yo al rete nan zòn Patwòs la, kote zansèt yo te soti a. Y'ap fòme yon ti peyi tou fèb.
and I will bring back the captives of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their origin; and they shall be there a mean kingdom;
15 Lè sa a, se va pi piti peyi nan tout peyi sou latè. Li p'ap janm rive donminen ankenn lòt nasyon. L'ap tèlman fèb, li p'ap janm ka fòse ankenn lòt nasyon fè volonte li.
it shall be the meanest of all kingdoms; it shall no more exalt itself above the nations; for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
16 Pèp Izrayèl la p'ap janm bezwen konte sou li ankò. Sa va fè pèp Izrayèl la chonje jan li te gen tò pou l' te fye moun sa yo. Lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki sèl Mèt la.
And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, bringing to my remembrance their iniquity in looking to them for help; and they shall know that I am the Lord Jehovah.
17 Nan premye jou nan premye mwa, vennsetyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
And it came to pass in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first day of the month, that the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
18 -Nonm o! Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, fè lame l' la fè yon gwo jefò pou y' al atake lavil Tir. Li fè sòlda yo travay sitèlman nan pote chay lou, yo pèdi tout cheve nan mitan tèt yo, tout zepòl yo kòche. Men, ni wa a, ni lame l' la pa soti ak anyen apre gwo atak sa a yo te fè sou lavil la.
Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled; yet neither he nor his army had wages from Tyre for the service which he served against it.
19 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: Mwen pral bay Nèbikadneza, wa Babilòn lan, peyi Lejip la pou li. Li pral pran tout richès li yo, l'ap mete men sou tou sa li jwenn, l'ap piye peyi a nèt: Se konsa l'a peye sòlda li yo.
Therefore thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her plunder; and it shall be wages for his army.
20 Wi, pou tout gwo sèvis li rann mwen yo, m'ap fè l' kado peyi Lejip la. Paske, se pou mwen yo t'ap travay. Se mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.
For his wages for his service I will give him the land of Egypt; for they wrought for me, saith the Lord Jehovah.
21 Lè sa a, m'ap fè pèp Izrayèl la pran fòs. Ou menm menm, Ezekyèl, m'ap ba ou lizay lapawòl ankò pou tout moun ka tande ou. Konsa, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
In that day will I cause a horn to grow forth to the house of Israel, and I will give thee to open the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
