Ezekyèl 4
1 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Pran yon brik, mete l' devan ou. Trase desen lavil Jerizalèm sou li.
"You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:
2 Apre sa, w'a moutre jan lènmi pral sènen lavil la: W'a fouye yon kannal pou sòlda yo kache, w'a mete ranblè nan pye miray li yo, w'a mete anplasman kan sòlda yo, w'a mete gwo poto pou defonse pòtay yo sou tout bò lavil la.
and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.
3 Pran yon pwelon fè, mete l' kanpe tankou yon miray ant ou menm ak lavil la. Bay lavil la fas. Lavil la sènen toupatou. Se ou menm ki sènen l'. Se va yon siy pou moun pèp Izrayèl yo.
Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Lèfini, kouche sou bò gòch ou. W'a pran tout peche moun pèp Izrayèl yo sou ou. Ou rete kouche konsa pandan tout tan w'ap pote chay peche yo a.
"Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.
5 Mwen deside pou yo pase twasankadrevendizan (390) ap peye pou peche yo. Konsa, m'ap fè ou pase twasankatrevendi (390) jou ap pote chay peche moun peyi Izrayèl yo, yon jou pou chak lanne.
For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 Apre sa, w'a vire kouche sou bò dwat ou. W'a pote chay peche moun peyi Jida yo pandan karant jou, yon jou pou chak lanne chatiman yo.
"Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.
7 Vire tèt ou, gade lavil Jerizalèm yo sènen an. Lonje dwèt ou sou li. Di sa ki pral rive l'.
You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.
8 M'ap mare ou byen mare, konsa ou p'ap ka vire chanje bò toutotan tout jou pou yo sènen lavil la poko fin pase.
Look, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.
9 Bon, koulye a ou pral pran ble, lòj, gwo pwa, ti pwa, pitimi ak ble mòn, w'a mete yo ansanm nan yon sèl veso. W'a fè pen ak yo. Pandan tout twasankatrevendi (390) jou w'ap pase kouche sou bò gòch ou a, se sa ase w'a manje.
"Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.
10 W'a pran yon moso pen ki peze yon demi (1/2) liv pou ou manje chak jou. Se sa ase pou ou manje chak jou.
Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.
11 Ou p'ap gen anpil dlo pou ou bwè. W'a pran yon lit dlo konsa chak jou.
You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.
12 W'a pran okabennen moun, w'a fè dife pou kwit pen pou ou manje a devan tout moun.
You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man."
13 Seyè a te di ankò: -Se konsa moun pèp Izrayèl yo pral manje manje lalwa defann yo manje, lè m'a gaye yo nan mitan lòt nasyon yo.
The LORD said, "Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them."
14 Lè sa a, mwen di: -O non! Seyè, Bondye ki gen tout pouvwa a, mwen pa janm manje manje ou defann moun manje. Depi m' piti, mwen pa janm manje vyann bèt ki mouri toufe, ni vyann bèt lòt bèt touye. Non, mwen pa janm mete nan bouch mwen vyann ou defann moun manje!
Then I said, "Ah Lord GOD. Look, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth."
15 Lè sa a, Bondye di m' konsa: -Dakò. M'ap kite ou pran kaka bèf pito pase okabennen moun. Ou mèt fè dife avè l' pou kwit pen ou lan.
Then he said to me, "Look, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon."
16 Epi li di ankò: -Nonm o! Mwen pral koupe viv moun lavil Jerizalèm yo. Moun yo pral gen kè sere, yo pral gen kè sote lè yo pral kontwole kantite pen pou yo manje ak kantite dlo pou yo bwè.
Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, look, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:
17 Yo p'ap jwenn kantite pen ak dlo yo bezwen: yo tout y'ap depafini ansanm, y'ap deperi poutèt peche yo fè yo.
that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
