Ezekiel 23

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

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

Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother:

-Nonm o! Vwala te gen de fi, pitit menm manman.

And they committed whoredoms in Egypt; they committed whoredoms in their youth: there were their breasts pressed, and there they bruised the teats of their virginity.

Depi lè yo te jenn ti nègès y' al fè jennès nan peyi Lejip. Se la yo lage kò yo nan lavi gason. Se la yo kite gason woule tete yo pou premye fwa.

And the names of them were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister: and they were mine, and they bare sons and daughters. Thus were their names; Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem Aholibah.

Pi gran an te rele Ola, pi piti a Oliba. Ola se peyi Samari, Oliba se peyi Jerizalèm. Mwen marye ak tou de, yo fè pitit gason ak pitit fi pou mwen.

And Aholah played the harlot when she was mine; and she doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbours,

Men, atout Ola te madanm mwen, li lage kò l' nan dezòd. Li t'ap mouri pou moun peyi Lasiri, vwazen l' yo. Li fè zafè ak yo.

Which were clothed with blue, captains and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding upon horses.

Mesye sa yo te sòlda avèk bèl inifòm violèt, gwo zotobre, ak grannèg. Yo tout te bèl jenn gason, bon kavalye moute sou chwal yo.

Thus she committed her whoredoms with them, with all them that were the chosen men of Assyria, and with all on whom she doted: with all their idols she defiled herself.

Li te kouche ak tout gwo chèf peyi Lasiri yo. Sitèlman li te cho dèyè mesye sa yo, li avili tèt li, li tonbe fè sèvis pou vye zidòl moun peyi Lasiri yo.

Neither left she her whoredoms brought from Egypt: for in her youth they lay with her, and they bruised the breasts of her virginity, and poured their whoredom upon her.

Li pa t' sispann fè metye jennès li te aprann nan peyi Lejip la. Depi lè li te jenn ti nègès, gason ap kouche l', y'ap woule tete l', y'ap sèvi avè l' tankou yon jennès.

Wherefore I have delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians, upon whom she doted.

Se poutèt sa mwen lage l' nan men nonm li yo, moun peyi Lasiri yo. Se dèyè yo li te cho konsa!

These discovered her nakedness: they took her sons and her daughters, and slew her with the sword: and she became famous among women; for they had executed judgment upon her.

Yo mete l' toutouni, yo pran pitit gason ak pitit fi li yo. Lèfini, yo touye l' anba kout nepe. Se te yon egzanp pou tout fanm. Yo te fè l' peye pou sa l' te fè a dapre lalwa.

And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she was more corrupt in her inordinate love than she, and in her whoredoms more than her sister in her whoredoms.

Atout Oliba, sè l' la, te wè sa, li lage kò l' nan pi gwo dezòd toujou. Li tounen yon pi gwo jennès pase Ola.

She doted upon the Assyrians her neighbours, captains and rulers clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, all of them desirable young men.

Li menm tou li te cho dèyè mesye peyi Lasiri yo, grannèg, gwo zotobre, sòlda ak bèl inifòm, bon kavalye ki moute sou chwal, yon bann bèl jenn gason.

Then I saw that she was defiled, that they took both one way,

Mwen wè li te fin avili tèt li nèt: dezyèm sè a pa t' pi bon pase premye a.

And that she increased her whoredoms: for when she saw men pourtrayed upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans pourtrayed with vermilion,

Men, Oliba al pi lwen toujou nan metye jennès la. Li wè pòtre gason yo te fè sou yon miray ak bèl penti wouj. Se te pòtre chèf peyi Babilòn yo.

Girded with girdles upon their loins, exceeding in dyed attire upon their heads, all of them princes to look to, after the manner of the Babylonians of Chaldea, the land of their nativity:

Avèk bèl sentiwon pase nan ren yo, tèt yo mare ak bèl mouchwa madras, mesye yo te abiye tankou gwo chèf. Se te pòtre moun peyi Babilòn. Se la yo te fèt.

And as soon as she saw them with her eyes, she doted upon them, and sent messengers unto them into Chaldea.

Wè li wè pòtre mesye yo, li anvi yo. Li voye mesaje bò kote yo nan peyi Babilòn.

And the Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their whoredom, and she was polluted with them, and her mind was alienated from them.

Mesye yo vini, yo fè lamou, yo kouche avè l'. Yo pran kont plezi yo avè l', yo fin avili li nèt. Bout pou bout, li vin rayi yo.

So she discovered her whoredoms, and discovered her nakedness: then my mind was alienated from her, like as my mind was alienated from her sister.

Se li menm ankò ki mete tout zafè l' deyò. Li fè tout moun konnen se jennès li ye. Li mete l' toutouni, li fè m' degoute l' tankou lòt sè a.

Yet she multiplied her whoredoms, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, wherein she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.

Se atò li lage kò l' nan fè jennès. Li vin chonje lè l' te jenn ti nègès ap fè jennès nan peyi Lejip.

For she doted upon their paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose issue is like the issue of horses.

Li t'ap kouri dèyè gason ki cho tankou ou ta di mal bourik ak poulen chwal ki pran sant fenmèl.

Thus thou calledst to remembrance the lewdness of thy youth, in bruising thy teats by the Egyptians for the paps of thy youth.

Oliba, ou te dèyè pou ou te fè tout dezòd ou te konn fè yo lè ou te jenn ti nègès nan peyi Lejip kote pou premye fwa mesye yo te woule tete ou, kote yo te mete ou nan lavi gason.

Therefore, O Aholibah, thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will raise up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy mind is alienated, and I will bring them against thee on every side;

Se poutèt sa, Oliba, men mesaj mwen menm Seyè a voye ba ou: Ou te vin rayi nonm ou yo! Enben, mwen pral moute tèt yo sou ou, mwen pral fè yo soti toupatou pou yo vin sènen ou.

The Babylonians, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them: all of them desirable young men, captains and rulers, great lords and renowned, all of them riding upon horses.

Tout moun Babilòn yo ak moun peyi Kalde yo, moun lavil Pekòd, moun lavil Choa, moun lavil Koa, ansanm ak tout moun peyi Lasiri yo, mwen pral sanble tout bèl jenn gason yo, grannèg, gwo zotobre, tout chèf, tou sa ki gen gwo grad, bon kavalye ki moute sou chwal yo. Mwen pral sanble yo tout.

And they shall come against thee with chariots, wagons, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, which shall set against thee buckler and shield and helmet round about: and I will set judgment before them, and they shall judge thee according to their judgments.

Y'ap soti nan nò, y'ap mache sou ou avèk yon gwo lame, anpil cha lagè ak anpil kabwa pwovizyon. Avèk gwo plak fè pou pwoteje yo, kas yo nan tèt yo, yo pral sènen ou toupatou. M' pral lage ou nan men yo pou yo jije ou dapre lwa pa yo.

And I will set my jealousy against thee, and they shall deal furiously with thee: they shall take away thy nose and thine ears; and thy remnant shall fall by the sword: they shall take thy sons and thy daughters; and thy residue shall be devoured by the fire.

Ou te pouse m' fè jalouzi, yo pral move sou ou jouk yo p'ap kapab ankò. Yo pral koupe bwa nen ou ak fèy zòrèy ou yo. Yo pral touye pitit ou yo. Wi, yo pral pran pitit gason ak pitit fi ou yo nan men ou, y'ap boule yo tou vivan.

They shall also strip thee out of thy clothes, and take away thy fair jewels.

Y'ap wete tout rad sou ou, y'ap pran tout bijou ou te konn mete sou ou.

Thus will I make thy lewdness to cease from thee, and thy whoredom brought from the land of Egypt: so that thou shalt not lift up thine eyes unto them, nor remember Egypt any more.

M'ap mete yon fren nan dezòd ak metye jennès ou t'ap fè depi nan peyi Lejip la. Ou p'ap wè yo ankò devan je ou. Ou p'ap chonje peyi Lejip ankò.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; Behold, I will deliver thee into the hand of them whom thou hatest, into the hand of them from whom thy mind is alienated:

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Mwen pral lage ou nan men moun ou pa vle wè yo, moun ki te ba ou degoutans yo.

And they shall deal with thee hatefully, and shall take away all thy labour, and shall leave thee naked and bare: and the nakedness of thy whoredoms shall be discovered, both thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

Yo pral maltrete ou tankou moun yo rayi. Yo pral pran tou sa ou te travay fè, y'ap kite ou toutouni, san rad sou ou tankou yon jennès. Se move lanvi ou yo ak lenkondite ou yo

I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone a whoring after the heathen, and because thou art polluted with their idols.

ki pral lakòz tout malè sa yo tonbe sou ou. Ou te tounen yon jennès pou mesye lòt nasyon yo, ou avili tèt ou, ou tonbe fè sèvis pou vye zidòl yo.

Thou hast walked in the way of thy sister; therefore will I give her cup into thine hand.

Ou mache pye pou pye dèyè sè ou la. Se poutèt sa m'ap pini ou menm jan mwen te pini l' la.

Thus saith the Lord GOD; Thou shalt drink of thy sister's cup deep and large: thou shalt be laughed to scorn and had in derision; it containeth much.

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Ou pral bwè nan gode sè ou la, yon gode byen fon. Tout moun pral pase ou nan betiz, nan rizib. Gode a plen ra bò.

Thou shalt be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of thy sister Samaria.

Li pral fè ou sou. W'ap an mal makak. Se yon gode k'ap fè moun pè, yon gode k'ap fini avè ou, gode Samari, sè ou la.

Thou shalt even drink it and suck it out, and thou shalt break the sherds thereof, and pluck off thine own breasts: for I have spoken it, saith the Lord GOD.

W'ap bwè tout, w'ap kite l' vid. Lèfini, w'ap kraze l' anba dan ou! Moso yo pral filange tete ou. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.

Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD; Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back, therefore bear thou also thy lewdness and thy whoredoms.

Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Paske ou te bliye m', ou te vire do ou ban mwen, ou pral soufri pou tout lenkondite ak dezòd ou te fè yo.

The LORD said moreover unto me; Son of man, wilt thou judge Aholah and Aholibah? yea, declare unto them their abominations;

Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Eske ou pare pou jije Ola ansanm ak Oliba? Ou pral mete devan yo tout vye bagay derespektan yo t'ap fè yo.

That they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and have also caused their sons, whom they bare unto me, to pass for them through the fire, to devour them.

Yo fè adiltè, yo touye moun, yo fè adiltè ak zidòl, yo touye pitit yo te fè pou mwen. Yo ofri yo pou yo boule yo bay zidòl.

Moreover this they have done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my sabbaths.

Se pa sa ase yo fè m'. Menm lè sa a, yo derespekte tanp mwen an. Yo pa respekte regleman jou repo m' yo.

For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of mine house.

Menm jou yo touye pitit yo pou zidòl yo, yo vin nan tanp mwen an pou yo derespekte l'. Men sa yo fè anndan kò kay mwen an.

And furthermore, that ye have sent for men to come from far, unto whom a messenger was sent; and, lo, they came: for whom thou didst wash thyself, paintedst thy eyes, and deckedst thyself with ornaments,

Sa ki pi rèd ankò, yo voye mesaje al envite gason soti byen lwen vin jwenn yo. Mesye yo vini. De sè yo benyen byen pwòp, yo pentire je yo. Yo mete bijou yo sou yo pou resevwa.

And satest upon a stately bed, and a table prepared before it, whereupon thou hast set mine incense and mine oil.

Yo chita sou bèl gwo kabann, yo pare yon ti tab devan kabann lan. Lèfini, yo pran lansan ak lwil mwen te ba yo, yo mete sou li.

And a voice of a multitude being at ease was with her: and with the men of the common sort were brought Sabeans from the wilderness, which put bracelets upon their hands, and beautiful crowns upon their heads.

Apre sa, moun tande vwa yon pakèt gason manfouben k'ap pran plezi avèk yo. Se te yon bann malandren yo mennen soti nan dezè a. Mesye yo mete bèl braslè nan ponyèt medam yo ak bèl kouwòn sou tèt yo chak.

Then said I unto her that was old in adulteries, Will they now commit whoredoms with her, and she with them?

Mwen di nan kè m': Fanm lan fini afòs li fè adiltè. Atousa l'ap fè jennès toujou.

Yet they went in unto her, as they go in unto a woman that playeth the harlot: so went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the lewd women.

Men, mesye yo tounen anpil fwa lakay li tankou kay yon jennès. Yo tounen lakay Ola ak Oliba, fanm devègonde sa yo.

And the righteous men, they shall judge them after the manner of adulteresses, and after the manner of women that shed blood; because they are adulteresses, and blood is in their hands.

Men, gason ki mache dwat yo pral jije yo tankou yo jije fanm k'ap fè adiltè epi k'ap touye moun, paske yo fè adiltè, yo touye moun.

For thus saith the Lord GOD; I will bring up a company upon them, and will give them to be removed and spoiled.

Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Sanble yon foul moun pou mache sou yo, pou fè yo pè, pou piye tou sa yo genyen!

And the company shall stone them with stones, and dispatch them with their swords; they shall slay their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses with fire.

Se pou foul moun yo kalonnen yo wòch jouk yo touye yo. Se pou yo depatcha yo ak nepe, touye pitit gason ak pitit fi yo, lèfini pou yo mete dife nan kay yo.

Thus will I cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to do after your lewdness.

Nan tout peyi a, m'ap fè moun sispann fè libètinaj. Sa va sèvi yon avètisman pou tout medam yo, pou yo pa fè tankou nou.

And they shall recompense your lewdness upon you, and ye shall bear the sins of your idols: and ye shall know that I am the Lord GOD.

Pou nou menm, de sè sa yo, mwen pral pini nou pou libètinaj nou. M'ap fè nou peye peche nou fè lè nou t'ap sèvi zidòl yo. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm Seyè a ki sèl Mèt.
