Ezekyèl 8
1 Nan senkyèm jou sizyèm mwa nan sizyèm lanne depi yo te depòte pèp la, mwen te chita lakay mwen ansanm ak chèf pèp Jida yo ki te reyini lakay mwen. Mwen rete konsa mwen santi pouvwa Seyè a, Bondye Sèl Mèt la, desann sou mwen.
In the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, the Lord GOD’s hand fell on me there.
2 Mwen leve je m' gade, mwen wè yon fòm ki te sanble ak yon moun. Depi nan ren l' desann, kò l' te tankou yon flanm dife. Depi nan ren l' moute, li te klere tankou kwiv byen poli.
Then I saw, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire—from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire, and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
3 Mwen wè l' lonje men l' tankou men yon moun, li pran m' nan cheve. Nan vizyon an, li leve m' byen wo nan syèl la, li mennen m' lavil Jerizalèm, devan pòtay anndan ki bay sou bò nò a, kote yo te mete yon estati zidòl ki te lakòz Bondye ankòlè.
He stretched out the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks towards the north, where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
4 La, mwen wè yon gwo bèl limyè ki te fè m' konprann se Bondye pèp Izrayèl la ki te la, menm jan mwen te wè l' nan fon an.
Behold, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
5 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Vire je ou gade bò nan nò! Mwen vire je m' gade bò nan nò. Mwen wè toupre lotèl ki bò pòtay kote moun pase pou antre a, estati zidòl ki te lakòz Bondye ankòlè a.
Then he said to me, “Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way towards the north.” So I lifted up my eyes the way towards the north, and saw, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
6 Bondye di m' ankò: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa y'ap fè? Gade tout bagay derespektan moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè pou yo fè m' kite tanp mwen an. Ou gen pou wè bagay ki pi mal pase sa toujou.
He said to me, “Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you will again see yet other great abominations.”
7 Li pran m', li mennen m' nan pòtay ki bay sou lakou anndan an, li moutre m' yon twou nan miray la.
He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, behold, a hole in the wall.
8 Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Fè yon gwo twou nan miray la. Mwen fè gwo twou a. Lèfini, mwen jwenn yon pòt.
Then he said to me, “Son of man, dig now in the wall.” When I had dug in the wall, I saw a door.
9 Li di m' konsa: -Louvri pòt la antre! Gade tout kalite vye bagay derespektan moun sa yo ap fè la a!
He said to me, “Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do here.”
10 Mwen antre, mwen gade. Tout miray la nèt te kouvri ak pòtre koulèv, pòtre tout kalite bèt yo pa gen dwa manje ak pòtre lòt vye zidòl moun pèp Izrayèl yo ap sèvi.
So I went in and looked, and saw every form of creeping things, abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.
11 Swasanndis nan chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo te kanpe la devan zidòl yo. Yonn ladan yo te Jazanya, pitit Chafan an. Yo chak te kenbe yon lansanswa nan men yo. Gwo lafimen lansan t'ap moute.
Seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel stood before them. In the middle of them Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan stood, every man with his censer in his hand; and the smell of the cloud of incense went up.
12 Bondye di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa chèf fanmi pèp Izrayèl yo ap plede fè an kachèt? Yo rete ap fè sèvis nan yon chanm kay plen zidòl. Men eskiz yo bay: O wi! Bondye pa wè nou! Bondye vire do l' bay peyi a!
Then he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, ‘The LORD doesn’t see us. The LORD has forsaken the land.’”
13 Apre sa, Seyè a di m' ankò: -Ou gen pou wè yo ap fè bagay ki pi derespektan toujou.
He said also to me, “You will again see more of the great abominations which they do.”
14 Lè sa a, li mennen m' bò pòtay nò tanp lan, li moutre m' yon bann fanm ki chita ap kenbe yon rèl lanmò pou zidòl yo rele Tamouz la.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD’s house which was towards the north; and I saw the women sit there weeping for Tammuz.
15 Li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Ou wè sa, pa vre? Ou gen pou ou wè gwo bagay pi derespektan ankò y'ap fè.
Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? You will again see yet greater abominations than these.”
16 Li mennen m' nan lakou anndan tanp lan. Mwen wè vennsenk nèg konsa kanpe bò pòt pou antre nan kote ki apa nèt pou Seyè a, nan mitan lotèl la ak galeri a. Yo te bay tanp lan do. Fas yo vire bò solèy leve. Yo bese tèt yo byen ba, y'ap fè sèvis pou solèy la k'ap leve.
He brought me into the inner court of the LORD’s house; and I saw at the door of the LORD’s temple, between the porch and the altar, there were about twenty-five men with their backs towards the LORD’s temple and their faces towards the east. They were worshipping the sun towards the east.
17 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou wè sa? Moun peyi Jida sa yo ap fè tout vye bagay derespektan y'ap plede fè yo. Y'ap mache fè mechanste nan tout peyi a. Men sa pa kont yo toujou, se pou yo vini jouk isit la nan tanp lan pou fè yo, pou yo fè m' pi move toujou. Men y'ap fè move jès pou derespekte m', yo mete yon ti branch bwa anba nen yo.
Then he said to me, “Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger. Behold, they put the branch to their nose.
18 Mwen menm tou mwen pral fè yo santi jan mwen move sou yo. Yo mèt rele byen fò nan zòrèy mwen. Mwen p'ap tande yo. Mwen p'ap gen pitye pou yo. Yo mèt rele jan yo vle nan zòrèy mwen, mwen p'ap pran priyè.
Therefore I will also deal in wrath. My eye won’t spare, neither will I have pity. Though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet I will not hear them.”
