Ezekiel 21

And the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa:

Son of man, set thy face toward Jerusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophesy against the land of Israel,

-Nonm o! Vire figi ou gade nan direksyon lavil Jerizalèm. Denonse sa y'ap fè nan tanp yo. Avèti moun peyi Izrayèl yo!

And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the LORD; Behold, I am against thee, and will draw forth my sword out of his sheath, and will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked.

W'a di yo: Men mesaj Seyè a bay pou nou: Mwen leve dèyè nou koulye a. Mwen pral rale nepe m' nan djenn li, mwen pral touye nou tout, bon kou move.

Seeing then that I will cut off from thee the righteous and the wicked, therefore shall my sword go forth out of his sheath against all flesh from the south to the north:

Wi, mwen pral touye bon moun kou move moun nan peyi a. Se poutèt sa menm mwen pral rale nepe m' nan djenn li pou touye tout moun depi nan sid rive nan nò.

That all flesh may know that I the LORD have drawn forth my sword out of his sheath: it shall not return any more.

Tout moun va konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki rale nepe m' nan djenn li. Anyen p'ap ka fè m' mete l' nan plas li ankò.

Sigh therefore, thou son of man, with the breaking of thy loins; and with bitterness sigh before their eyes.

Men ou menm, nonm o! Se pou ou plenn paske kè ou ap fann, ou dekouraje. Wi, se pou ou plenn pou tout moun ka wè ou.

And it shall be, when they say unto thee, Wherefore sighest thou? that thou shalt answer, For the tidings; because it cometh: and every heart shall melt, and all hands shall be feeble, and every spirit shall faint, and all knees shall be weak as water: behold, it cometh, and shall be brought to pass, saith the Lord GOD.

Lè y'a mande ou poukisa w'ap plenn konsa, w'a di yo: Se paske m' pran nouvèl malè ki pral rive a. Lè l'a rive vre, kè tout moun pral kase, ponyèt yo ap febli, y'ap pèdi tout fòs kouraj yo, yo p'ap ka kanpe sou janm yo. Lè a rive, li deja sou nou. Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.

Again the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,

Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:

Son of man, prophesy, and say, Thus saith the LORD; Say, A sword, a sword is sharpened, and also furbished:

-Nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a. Di pèp la men sa mwen menm Seyè a, mwen voye di yo: Nepe a, nepe a! Men y'ap file l'. Men y'ap netwaye li.

It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter; it is furbished that it may glitter: should we then make mirth? it contemneth the rod of my son, as every tree.

Y'ap file l' pou touye moun. Y'ap netwaye li pou fè l' fè zèklè. Pa gen fè fèt ankò, paske pèp mwen an pa okipe avètisman ak pinisyon mwen te ba li.

And he hath given it to be furbished, that it may be handled: this sword is sharpened, and it is furbished, to give it into the hand of the slayer.

Wi, y'ap netwaye nepe a. Y'ap pare l' pou moun ka sèvi avè l'. Y'ap file l', y'ap netwaye l' pou yo mete l' nan men bouwo a.

Cry and howl, son of man: for it shall be upon my people, it shall be upon all the princes of Israel: terrors by reason of the sword shall be upon my people: smite therefore upon thy thigh.

Ou menm, nonm o! Rele kont rele ou! Rele byen fò. Se pou pèp mwen an y'ap pare nepe a, pou tout chèf pèp Izrayèl yo. Yo pral touye yo ansanm ak tout pèp mwen an. Pran lapenn pou yo!

Because it is a trial, and what if the sword contemn even the rod? it shall be no more, saith the Lord GOD.

N'ap sonde pèp la. Si yo derefize chanje, tout bagay sa yo ap rive vre! Se Seyè sèl Mèt la ki di sa.

Thou therefore, son of man, prophesy, and smite thine hands together, and let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the slain: it is the sword of the great men that are slain, which entereth into their privy chambers.

Koulye a, nonm o! Bay mesaj sa a. Lèfini, bat men pou ankouraje. Nepe a ap pase de fwa. Nepe a ap pase twa fwa. Nepe a ap touye anpil moun. Nepe a ap sènen yo kote yo vire.

I have set the point of the sword against all their gates, that their heart may faint, and their ruins be multiplied: ah! it is made bright, it is wrapped up for the slaughter.

L'ap fè pèp mwen an pèdi tout kouraj li, y'ap tonbe yonn sou lòt. Mwen mete nepe nan tout pòtay yo, yon nepe k'ap bay zèklè, yon nepe ki pare pou touye anpil moun.

Go thee one way or other, either on the right hand, or on the left, whithersoever thy face is set.

Ou menm, nepe file, koupe sou bò dwat, koupe sou bò gòch. Kote ou vire, koupe!

I will also smite mine hands together, and I will cause my fury to rest: I the LORD have said it.

Mwen menm tou, m'ap bat men pou ankouraje. Se pou m' move sou yo jouk mwen p'ap kapab ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.

The word of the LORD came unto me again, saying,

Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:

Also, thou son of man, appoint thee two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come: both twain shall come forth out of one land: and choose thou a place, choose it at the head of the way to the city.

-Nonm o! Trase de chemen kote pou wa Babilòn lan ka pase ak nepe l'. De chemen yo ap soti nan menm peyi a. Mete de mak nan kalfou kote yo separe a,

Appoint a way, that the sword may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Judah in Jerusalem the defenced.

yonn pou moutre wa a chemen ki mennen lavil Raba nan peyi Amon, yonn pou moutre l' chemen ki ale peyi Jida rive lavil Jerizalèm ki byen pwoteje ak ranpa a.

For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination: he made his arrows bright, he consulted with images, he looked in the liver.

Wa Babilòn lan kanpe nan kalfou a bò mak yo, l'ap souke flèch yo voye atè pou li ka konnen ki wout pou li pran. L'ap mande zidòl yo sa pou l' fè, l'ap egzaminen fresi bèt yo touye pou bondye yo.

At his right hand was the divination for Jerusalem, to appoint captains, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to appoint battering rams against the gates, to cast a mount, and to build a fort.

Bon! Men li kenbe flèch ki bay direksyon lavil Jerizalèm lan! Sa vle di se pou l' atake lavil Jerizalèm ak machin lagè yo, bay lòd pou yo touye tout moun, bay siyal pou yo mache sou lavil la ak gwo poto bwa pou defonse pòtay li yo, pou yo anpile ranblè nan pye miray li yo, pou yo fouye gwo kannal sènen l' toupatou.

And it shall be unto them as a false divination in their sight, to them that have sworn oaths: but he will call to remembrance the iniquity, that they may be taken.

Moun lavil Jerizalèm yo p'ap kwè sa w'ap di a se vre paske yo te pase kontra avè l'. Men, mesaj w'ap bay la se pou fè yo chonje tou sa yo fè ki mal, pou fè konnen y'ap fè yo prizonye.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because ye have made your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are discovered, so that in all your doings your sins do appear; because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.

Se poutèt sa, men sa mwen menm Seyè sèl Mèt la, m'ap di yo: Tout moun konnen jan nou pa bon. Nou fè tout peche nou yo aklè. Nan tou sa n'ap fè nou moutre jan nou mechan. Se poutèt sa, y'ap kondannen nou. N'ap tonbe anba men lènmi nou yo.

And thou, profane wicked prince of Israel, whose day is come, when iniquity shall have an end,

Kanta pou ou menm, chèf peyi Izrayèl la, krimenèl san respè pou Bondye, jou pa ou la, jou dènye chatiman ou lan ap rive.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Remove the diadem, and take off the crown: this shall not be the same: exalt him that is low, and abase him that is high.

Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki pale. Wete kouwòn lan ak gwo bèl mouchwa madras la nan tèt ou. Tout bagay pral chanje. Sa ki anba yo pral moute chèf, sa ki te chèf yo pral tonbe.

I will overturn, overturn, overturn, it: and it shall be no more, until he come whose right it is; and I will give it him.

Kraze, kraze, brize! Wi, m'ap fè lavil la tounen mazi. Men, pou sa rive, fòk moun mwen te chwazi pou pini lavil la vini anvan. Se nan men l' m'ap lage l'.

And thou, son of man, prophesy and say, Thus saith the Lord GOD concerning the Ammonites, and concerning their reproach; even say thou, The sword, the sword is drawn: for the slaughter it is furbished, to consume because of the glittering:

-Nonm o! Bay mesaj la! Pale. Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la voye di moun peyi Amon yo k'ap plede joure pèp Izrayèl la. Di yo konsa: Nepe a, nepe a pare pou touye! Li byen file pou depatcha. Li byen netwaye pou fè l' fè zèklè.

Whiles they see vanity unto thee, whiles they divine a lie unto thee, to bring thee upon the necks of them that are slain, of the wicked, whose day is come, when their iniquity shall have an end.

Vizyon nou t'ap fè yo pa bon vizyon. Sa yo te di ki gen pou rive a p'ap rive. Nou menm mechan, nou menm malveyan, jou pa nou an, jou pou yo ban nou dènye chatiman nou an ap vini. Nepe a pral tonbe sou nou.

Shall I cause it to return into his sheath? I will judge thee in the place where thou wast created, in the land of thy nativity.

Remete nepe a nan djenn li. Mwen pral jije ou kote yo te kreye ou la, nan peyi kote ou te fèt la.

And I will pour out mine indignation upon thee, I will blow against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliver thee into the hand of brutish men, and skilful to destroy.

M'ap fè ou santi jan m' move. Tankou yon gwo dife k'ap boule, m'ap soufle sou ou, m'ap lage ou nan men lwijanboje yo ki pa konnen pase kraze moun.

Thou shalt be for fuel to the fire; thy blood shall be in the midst of the land; thou shalt be no more remembered: for I the LORD have spoken it.

Dife pral boule tout kò ou. San ou pral koule nan tout peyi a. Pesonn p'ap janm chonje ou ankò. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.
