Ezekyèl 16-17
Haitian Creole Version
16 ¶ Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 -Nonm o! Fè moun lavil Jerizalèm yo rekonèt tout vye bagay derespektan yo te fè yo.
3 W'a di moun lavil Jerizalèm yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Nou se moun peyi Kanaran, se la nou fèt. Papa nou te yon moun peyi Amori, manman nou yon moun peyi Et.
4 Jou ou soti nan vant manman ou lan, yo pa t' koupe kòd lonbrit ou, yo pa t' lave ou nan dlo pou yo te pwòpte ou, yo pa t' fwote ou ak gwo sèl, yo pa t' menm vlope ou nan moso kòt.
5 Pesonn pa t' gen pitye pou ou pou yo te rann ou yonn nan ti sèvis sa yo. Lè ou te fèt la, pesonn pa t' vle wè ou, yo voye ou jete nan jaden.
6 ¶ Mwen vin ap pase bò la, mwen wè ou t'ap benyen nan san ou. Atout ou t'ap benyen nan san ou, mwen di mwen p'ap kite ou mouri, se pou ou viv.
7 Se pou ou grandi tankou yon plant nan jaden. Ou grandi, ou fòme, ou vin yon bèl jenn fi. Tete ou yo te byen kanpe, pwal te pouse sou kò ou. Men, ou te toutouni.
8 Mwen vin ap pase bò la ankò, mwen wè ou. Ou te rive laj pou ou te renmen. Mwen louvri gwo varèz mwen an sou ou, mwen kouvri kò ou ki te toutouni an. Mwen fè sèman m'ap toujou renmen ou. Wi, mwen pase kontra maryaj avè ou. Se konsa ou vin madanm mwen. Se Seyè ki sèl mèt la ki di sa.
9 Apre sa, mwen pran dlo, mwen lave ou, mwen wete tout san ki te sou kò ou. Mwen basinen ou ak lwil santi bon.
10 Mwen mete bèl rad bwode sou ou, yon pè soulye fèt ak po bazann nan pye ou, yon bèl moso twal fin blan mare nan ren ou, ak yon chal swa.
11 Mwen kouvri ou ak bijou, mwen mete braslè nan ponyèt ou, m' pase bèl chenn nan kou ou.
12 Mwen mete yon grenn zanno nan nen ou, yon pè zanno nan zòrèy ou ak yon bèl kouwòn sou tèt ou.
13 Ou te plen bijou lò ak bijou ajan. Ou te toujou mete bèl rad twal fin ak rad swa byen bwode sou ou. Ou manje pen ki fèt ak pi bon kalite farin ansanm ak siwo myèl ak lwil. Chak jou ou vin pi bèl, jouk ou rive larenn.
14 Nan tout lòt nasyon yo, yo t'ap nonmen non ou pou jan ou te bèl. Pou bèl ou pa t' ka pi bèl pase sa paske se mwen menm ki te fè ou bèl konsa. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di sa.
15 ¶ Men, ou kite bèlte ou la fè ou pèdi tèt ou. Ou pwofite dèske tout moun ap nonmen non ou lan pou ou lage kò ou nan dezòd, ou kouche ak dènye moun k'ap pase. Ou lage kò ou ba yo.
16 Ou pran bèl rad koulè ou yo, ou dekore kote w'ap fè sèvis pou lòt bondye sou tèt mòn yo. Tankou yon fanm k'ap fè jennès, ou kouche la ak dènye moun ki vini.
17 Ou pran bijou lò ak bijou ajan mwen te ba ou yo, ou bay yo pou yo fè estati gason. Epi ou kouche ak estati yo.
18 Ou biye estati ou yo ak bèl rad bwode mwen te ba ou yo. Ou pran lwil ak lansan ki te pou mwen yo, ou ofri yo bay estati ou yo.
19 Mwen te ba ou pi bon kalite farin pou fè pen pou ou manje ansanm ak siwo myèl ak lwil. Ou pran yo, ou ofri yo bay zidòl ou yo, ou boule yo nan dife pou yo te ka ba ou chans. Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, ki di wi, se sa ou fè.
20 Apre sa, ou pran pitit gason ak pitit fi ou te fè pou mwen yo, ou al ofri yo bay zidòl yo pou zidòl yo te manje yo. Sa pa t' ase pou ou te lage kò ou nan tout dezòd sa yo
21 kifè ou te bezwen koupe kou pitit mwen yo, lèfini pou ou te boule yo nan dife pou zidòl ou yo?
22 Pandan tout tan ou t'ap viv nan dezòd sa a, ou pa janm chonje lè ou te piti, lè ou te toutouni ap benyen nan san ou lan?
23 Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: -Madichon, madichon pou ou! Lè ou fin fè tout mechanste sa yo,
24 sou tout rebò granchemen yo, ou bati tanp pou sèvi zidòl ou yo, pou fè metye jennès ou a.
25 Nan chak kalfou granchemen, ou bati yon tanp kote ou trennen bèlte ou la nan labou. W'ap ofri tèt ou bay dènye moun k'ap pase. Chak jou ou te vin pi mal.
26 W' al kouche ak moun peyi Lejip yo, vwazen ou yo ki gwonèg anpil. Ou fè, ou fè jouk ou fè m' fache.
27 Se konsa, mwen lonje men m' sou ou pou m' pini ou, mwen koupe moso nan sa ki te vin pou ou a. Mwen lage ou nan men lènmi ou yo, moun peyi Filisti yo, ki pa t' ka santi tout vye bagay sal ou t'ap fè yo.
28 Men moun sa yo pa t' ba ou kont plezi ou, ou kouri al jwenn moun peyi Lasiri yo. Ou kouche ak yo. Men yo menm tou, yo pa t' ba ou kont plezi ou.
29 W' al fè jennès ak moun Babilòn yo, gwo kòmèsan sa yo. Men yo menm tou, yo pa t' ba ou kont plezi ou!
30 Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di ankò: Se pa ti move mwen pa t' move sou ou! Ou fè tou sa tankou yon jennès je kale.
31 Ou bati yon lotèl repozwa nan chak kalfou granchemen. Ou bati tanp sou tout rebò granchemen yo. Men, se pa t' dèyè lajan ou te ye tankou lòt fanm k'ap fè jennès yo.
32 Ou te tankou yon madan marye ki nan dezòd, ki pito fè bèl ak lòt gason pase pou li renmen mari l'.
33 Yon jennès se peye yo peye sa. Men ou menm, se ou menm ki bay nonm ou yo kado, se ou menm k'ap ofri yo lajan pou yo soti toupatou vin kouche avè ou.
34 Ou pa t' tankou lòt fanm k'ap fè jennès yo. Pesonn pa t' fòse ou fè sa. Yo pa t' peye ou pou sa. Se ou ki t'ap peye moun vin kouche avè ou! Non! Ou pa t' tankou lòt jennès yo!
35 ¶ Koulye a, Jerizalèm, gwo jennès, koute sa Seyè a ap di:
36 Men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba ou: Ou wete tout rad sou ou. Ou rete toutouni nèt pou ou te kouche ak nonm ou yo, ansanm ak tout vye zidòl mwen pa vle wè yo. Lèfini, ou touye pitit ou yo, ou ofri yo bay zidòl.
37 Poutèt tou sa, mwen pral reyini tout ansyen nonm ou yo ki te konn pran plezi yo avè ou, ni sa ou te renmen yo, ni sa ou te rayi yo. M'ap fè yo vin fè wonn bò kote ou. Mwen pral wete dènye rad ki sou ou. Mwen pral kite ou toutouni devan je yo.
38 M'ap pini ou menm jan yo pini fanm k'ap fè adiltè, ak fanm ki touye moun. M'ap fache, m'ap move, m'ap bay lòd pou yo touye ou.
39 M'ap lage ou nan men yo, yo pral demoli dènye lotèl repozwa ou fè pou zidòl ou yo, kote w'ap fè jennès la. Y'ap wete tout rad sou ou, y'ap pran tout bijou ou yo, y'ap kite ou toutouni.
40 Yo pral moute tèt yon foul moun pou yo touye ou ak kout wòch, y'ap filange ou ak nepe yo.
41 Y'ap boule tout kay ou yo, y'ap pini ou devan yon foul medam. M'ap fè ou sispann fè jennès, m'ap fè ou sispann bay nonm ou yo kado.
42 Apre sa, mwen p'ap move sou ou ankò. M'a sispann fè jalouzi. Mwen p'ap fache ankò.
43 Ou pa t' chonje jan m' te aji avè ou lè ou te jenn lan. Ou te fè m' move anpil pou tou sa ou te fè yo. Se poutèt sa mwen te fè ou peye pou tout. Se mwen menm Seyè a, Bondye sèl Mèt la, ki di sa. Poukisa ou fè tout dezòd vakabonday sa yo mete sou tout lòt bagay derespektan ou fè yo?
44 ¶ Seyè a di ankò: Koulye a moun ki renmen fè pwovèb yo pral bay yonn sou do lavil Jerizalèm. Yo pral di: Joumou pa donnen kalbas. Pitit fi a ap soti tankou manman l'.
45 Wi, ou se pitit manman ou vre. Li pa t' vle wè ni mari l' ni pitit li yo. Ou menm moun ak sè ou yo. Yo menm tou, yo pa t' vle wè ni mari yo, ni pitit yo. Se yon fanm peyi Et ki te manman nou tout. Se yon moun peyi Amori ki te papa nou.
46 Gran sè ou la rete nan nò. Se lavil Samari ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo. Ti sè ou la rete nan sid. Se lavil Sodòm ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo.
47 Ou mache dèyè yo pye pou pye, ou fè tout vye bagay derespektan yo fè. Men, nan tou sa ou fè yo, ou fè pi mal pase yo.
48 Se poutèt sa, jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, men sa mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, m'ap di ou: Sè ou la, lavil Sodòm ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont li yo, yo pa t' janm rive fè tou sa ou menm lavil Jerizalèm, ou te fè ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont ou yo.
49 Kisa lavil Sodòm te fè konsa? Li t'ap gonfle lestonmak li sou moun, paske li te gen kont manje pou l' manje. Yo t'ap viv kè pòpòz san pwoblèm. Men, yo pa janm lonje men bay pòv malere ak moun ki nan nesesite.
50 Yo kite lògèy vire lòlòj yo, yo fè tèt di, yo fè bagay yo konnen mwen pa vle wè moun fè. Se poutèt sa mwen disparèt yo, jan ou konnen l' lan.
51 Lavil Samari menm pa t' fè mwatye nan sa ou fè. Ou fè plis bagay derespektan pase l'. Ou fè sè ou yo pase pou inonsan bò kote ou.
52 Ou pral wont tèt ou pou sa ou fè. Ou sitèlman fè peche ki pi lèd pase sa sè ou yo fè a, ou ba yo rezon, yo parèt inonsan bò kote ou. Wi, se pou ou wont. Se pou ou kache figi ou, paske ou fè sè ou yo pase pou inonsan bò kote ou.
53 Seyè a pale ak lavil Jerizalèm, li di l' konsa: -M'ap mete yo kanpe ankò, lavil Sodòm ak lavil Samari ansanm ak tout ti bouk ki sou kont yo. Bout pou bout, ou menm tou m'ap mete ou kanpe ankò.
54 Ou pral wont tèt ou pou tou sa ou te fè. Yo pral pale ou mal. Sè ou yo pral wè yo pa pi mal pase sa. Sa pral yon konsolasyon pou yo.
55 Lavil Sodòm ak tout ti bouk li yo pral kanpe ankò jan yo te ye anvan an. Lavil Samari ak tout ti bouk li yo pral kanpe ankò jan yo te ye anvan an. Ou menm tou, lavil Jerizalèm ak tout ti bouk ou yo, nou pral kanpe ankò jan nou te ye anvan an.
56 Lè ou te an penpan an, èske ou pa t' konn pase Sodòm nan betiz,
57 anvan yo te denonse tout mechanste ou yo? Koulye a, se ou menm moun Aram yo, moun Filisti yo ansanm ak lòt moun nan vwazinaj ki pa vle wè ou yo pral pase nan betiz.
58 Ou pral peye pou tout bagay derespektan ak bagay mwen pa vle wè ou te fè yo. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
59 Seyè a pale ak lavil Jerizalèm, li di l' konsa: -Mwen pral boule avè ou jan ou merite l' la, paske ou pa ka kenbe pawòl ou, ou kase kontra a.
60 ¶ Men, m'ap chonje kontra mwen te pase avè ou lè ou te jenn lan. M'ap siyen yon lòt kontra avè ou, yon kontra k'ap la pou tout tan.
61 Ou menm, w'a chonje sa ou te fè, w'a wont lè w'a resevwa gran sè ak ti sè ou yo. M'ap ba ou yo pou pitit fi pa ou malgre sa pa t' nan kontra a.
62 Wi, se mwen menm k'ap siyen kontra mwen an avè ou ankò. Lè sa a, w'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a.
63 M'ap padonnen ou tou sa ou te fè. Men ou menm, w'ap chonje sa ou te fè yo, w'a wont, ou p'ap ka louvri bouch ou ankò tèlman w'a wont. Se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki di sa.
17 ¶ Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa:
2 -Nonm o! Bay moun pèp Izrayèl yo yon pawoli. Rakonte yo yon parabòl.
3 Di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Vwala, se te yon gwo gwo malfini ak zèl li yo byen laj. Plim li yo te long epi yo te tout kalite koulè. Li vole li ale nan peyi Liban, li kase tèt yon pye sèd.
4 Li pran l', li pote l' ale nan yon peyi kote moun se trafik ase y'ap fè la. Li mete l' nan yon lavil kote se kòmèsan ase ki rete la.
5 Lèfini, li pran yon ti plan nan peyi Izrayèl la, li plante l' nan yon bon venn tè, toupre yon larivyè ki toujou plen dlo, pou l' ka grandi tankou yon pye sikren.
6 Ti plan an pran, li fè yon bèl pye rezen ki pa twò wo. Branch li yo grandi, yo moute nan direksyon malfini an, men rasin li yo menm desann fon anba tè. Li bay yon bèl pye rezen ak anpil branch plen fèy.
7 Te vin gen yon lòt gwo malfini ak gwo zèl byen laj ak anpil plim sou li. Lè sa a, pye rezen an pouse rasin nan direksyon malfini sa a. Li vire tout branch li yo nan direksyon l' tou. Li te konprann malfini sa a tapral wouze l' pi byen pase jaden kote l' te plante a.
8 Men, pye rezen an te deja plante nan yon bon venn tè, kote yon kannal ki toujou gen dlo, pou l' te ka fè fèy, pou l' te ka donnen, pou li te ka rive fè yon bèl pye rezen.
9 Di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Eske pye rezen an ap grandi vre? Eske premye malfini an p'ap dechouke l', rache tout grap rezen l' yo, kase tout branch li yo pou yo mouri? Li p'ap bezwen anpil fòs ni yon lame moun pou l' dechouke l'.
10 Wi, yo te plante l'. Men, èske l'ap grandi? Eske li p'ap mouri lè van lès la va soufle sou li? Eske li p'ap mouri lamenm kote li t'ap pouse a?
11 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
12 -Pale ak bann moun tèt di sa yo. Mande yo si yo konprann sans parabòl la. Di yo konsa: Wa lavil Babilòn lan te vini lavil Jerizalèm, li pran wa a ansanm ak tout chèf li yo, li mennen yo ansanm avè l' lavil Babilòn.
13 Li pran yon moun nan fanmi wa a, li pase kontra avè l', li fè l' sèmante pou l' toujou soumèt devan li. Li pran tout grannèg ki nan peyi a, li fè yo prizonye, li depòte yo.
14 Konsa, li sèten peyi a va rete tou piti anba men l', yo p'ap ka leve tèt devan li, y'a toujou kenbe kontra li te pase ak yo a.
15 Men, wa peyi Jida a revòlte. Li voye mesaje nan peyi Lejip al chache chwal ak anpil sòlda. Eske l'ap rive fè sa li vle fè a? Eske li ka soti nan sitiyasyon kote l' ye a? Depi li kase kontra a, fòk li peye l'.
16 Se mwen menm, Seyè sèl Mèt la, k'ap pale: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, wa a pral lavil Babilòn, paske li te kase kontra a, li pa t' respekte kondisyon li te pase ak wa lavil Babilòn lan ki te mete l' la pou gouvènen peyi a.
17 Farawon an te mèt vini ak yon gwo lame ansanm ak anpil sòlda, li p'ap ka ede l' goumen nan lagè a, lè moun Babilòn yo va vin moute ranblè ak fouye gwo kannal pou yo touye moun san gad dèyè.
18 Wa peyi Izrayèl la pa respekte pawòl li, li kase kontra a. Malgre angajman li te pran yo, li fè tout bagay sa yo. Sa p'ap pase konsa pou li.
19 Se poutèt sa, men sa Seyè Sèl Mèt la di: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, ou pa respekte pawòl ou avè m'. Ou pa kenbe kontra mwen te pase avè ou la. Mwen gen pou m' pini ou pou sa.
20 M'ap voye privye m' sou ou, w'ap pran nan may yo, m'ap trennen ou lavil Babilòn. Se la m'ap pini ou pou kenbe ou pa te kenbe pawòl ou avè m'.
21 Tout pi bon sòlda li yo pral mouri nan lagè. Sa ki chape yo, yo pral gaye yo toupatou sou latè. Lè sa a, n'a konnen se mwen menm, Seyè a, ki pale.
22 ¶ Men sa Seyè sèl Mèt la di: -M'ap koupe boujon tèt yon pye sèd ki byen wo. M'ap kase yon jenn ti boujon nan branch ki pi wo yo. M'ap plante l' sou tèt yon mòn byen wo,
23 sou tèt mòn ki pi wo nan peyi Izrayèl la. L'ap fè branch, l'ap donnen. L'ap vin fè yon bèl bèl pye sèd. Tout kalite zwezo pral rete ladan l'. Y'ap pare solèy nan lonbraj branch li yo.
24 Tout pyebwa nan peyi a va konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. Mwen koupe gwo pyebwa yo mete atè. Ti pyebwa piti yo, m'ap fè yo grandi. Mwen cheche pyebwa ki vèt yo. Pyebwa ki fin mouri yo, mwen fè yo boujonnen ankò. Se mwen menm Seyè a ki pale. Sa mwen di m'ap fè a, m'ap fè l'.

New International Version
Ezekiel 16-17
New International Version
Jerusalem as an Adulterous Wife
16 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, confront(A) Jerusalem with her detestable practices(B) 3 and say, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says to Jerusalem: Your ancestry(C) and birth were in the land of the Canaanites; your father(D) was an Amorite(E) and your mother a Hittite.(F) 4 On the day you were born(G) your cord was not cut, nor were you washed with water to make you clean, nor were you rubbed with salt or wrapped in cloths. 5 No one looked on you with pity or had compassion enough to do any of these things for you. Rather, you were thrown out into the open field, for on the day you were born you were despised.
6 “‘Then I passed by and saw you kicking about in your blood, and as you lay there in your blood I said to you, “Live!”[a](H) 7 I made you grow(I) like a plant of the field. You grew and developed and entered puberty. Your breasts had formed and your hair had grown, yet you were stark naked.(J)
8 “‘Later I passed by, and when I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for love, I spread the corner of my garment(K) over you and covered your naked body. I gave you my solemn oath and entered into a covenant(L) with you, declares the Sovereign Lord, and you became mine.(M)
9 “‘I bathed you with water and washed(N) the blood from you and put ointments on you. 10 I clothed you with an embroidered(O) dress and put sandals of fine leather on you. I dressed you in fine linen(P) and covered you with costly garments.(Q) 11 I adorned you with jewelry:(R) I put bracelets(S) on your arms and a necklace(T) around your neck, 12 and I put a ring on your nose,(U) earrings(V) on your ears and a beautiful crown(W) on your head.(X) 13 So you were adorned with gold and silver; your clothes(Y) were of fine linen and costly fabric and embroidered cloth. Your food was honey, olive oil(Z) and the finest flour. You became very beautiful and rose to be a queen.(AA) 14 And your fame(AB) spread among the nations on account of your beauty,(AC) because the splendor I had given you made your beauty perfect, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AD)
15 “‘But you trusted in your beauty and used your fame to become a prostitute. You lavished your favors on anyone who passed by(AE) and your beauty became his.(AF) 16 You took some of your garments to make gaudy high places,(AG) where you carried on your prostitution.(AH) You went to him, and he possessed your beauty.[b] 17 You also took the fine jewelry I gave you, the jewelry made of my gold and silver, and you made for yourself male idols and engaged in prostitution with them.(AI) 18 And you took your embroidered clothes to put on them, and you offered my oil and incense(AJ) before them. 19 Also the food I provided for you—the flour, olive oil and honey I gave you to eat—you offered as fragrant incense before them. That is what happened, declares the Sovereign Lord.(AK)
20 “‘And you took your sons and daughters(AL) whom you bore to me(AM) and sacrificed them as food to the idols. Was your prostitution not enough?(AN) 21 You slaughtered my children and sacrificed them to the idols.(AO) 22 In all your detestable practices and your prostitution you did not remember the days of your youth,(AP) when you were naked and bare,(AQ) kicking about in your blood.(AR)
23 “‘Woe!(AS) Woe to you, declares the Sovereign Lord. In addition to all your other wickedness, 24 you built a mound for yourself and made a lofty shrine(AT) in every public square.(AU) 25 At every street corner(AV) you built your lofty shrines and degraded your beauty, spreading your legs with increasing promiscuity to anyone who passed by.(AW) 26 You engaged in prostitution(AX) with the Egyptians,(AY) your neighbors with large genitals, and aroused my anger(AZ) with your increasing promiscuity.(BA) 27 So I stretched out my hand(BB) against you and reduced your territory; I gave you over(BC) to the greed of your enemies, the daughters of the Philistines,(BD) who were shocked by your lewd conduct. 28 You engaged in prostitution with the Assyrians(BE) too, because you were insatiable; and even after that, you still were not satisfied.(BF) 29 Then you increased your promiscuity to include Babylonia,[c](BG) a land of merchants, but even with this you were not satisfied.(BH)
30 “‘I am filled with fury against you,[d] declares the Sovereign Lord, when you do all these things, acting like a brazen prostitute!(BI) 31 When you built your mounds at every street corner and made your lofty shrines(BJ) in every public square, you were unlike a prostitute, because you scorned payment.
32 “‘You adulterous wife! You prefer strangers to your own husband! 33 All prostitutes receive gifts,(BK) but you give gifts(BL) to all your lovers, bribing them to come to you from everywhere for your illicit favors.(BM) 34 So in your prostitution you are the opposite of others; no one runs after you for your favors. You are the very opposite, for you give payment and none is given to you.
35 “‘Therefore, you prostitute, hear the word of the Lord! 36 This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Because you poured out your lust and exposed your naked body in your promiscuity with your lovers, and because of all your detestable idols, and because you gave them your children’s blood,(BN) 37 therefore I am going to gather all your lovers, with whom you found pleasure, those you loved as well as those you hated. I will gather them against you from all around and will strip(BO) you in front of them, and they will see you stark naked.(BP) 38 I will sentence you to the punishment of women who commit adultery and who shed blood;(BQ) I will bring on you the blood vengeance of my wrath and jealous anger.(BR) 39 Then I will deliver you into the hands(BS) of your lovers, and they will tear down your mounds and destroy your lofty shrines. They will strip you of your clothes and take your fine jewelry and leave you stark naked.(BT) 40 They will bring a mob against you, who will stone(BU) you and hack you to pieces with their swords. 41 They will burn down(BV) your houses and inflict punishment on you in the sight of many women.(BW) I will put a stop(BX) to your prostitution, and you will no longer pay your lovers. 42 Then my wrath against you will subside and my jealous anger will turn away from you; I will be calm and no longer angry.(BY)
43 “‘Because you did not remember(BZ) the days of your youth but enraged me with all these things, I will surely bring down(CA) on your head what you have done, declares the Sovereign Lord. Did you not add lewdness to all your other detestable practices?(CB)
44 “‘Everyone who quotes proverbs(CC) will quote this proverb about you: “Like mother, like daughter.” 45 You are a true daughter of your mother, who despised(CD) her husband(CE) and her children; and you are a true sister of your sisters, who despised their husbands and their children. Your mother was a Hittite and your father an Amorite.(CF) 46 Your older sister(CG) was Samaria, who lived to the north of you with her daughters; and your younger sister, who lived to the south of you with her daughters, was Sodom.(CH) 47 You not only followed their ways and copied their detestable practices, but in all your ways you soon became more depraved than they.(CI) 48 As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign(CJ) Lord, your sister Sodom(CK) and her daughters never did what you and your daughters have done.(CL)
49 “‘Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom:(CM) She and her daughters were arrogant,(CN) overfed and unconcerned;(CO) they did not help the poor and needy.(CP) 50 They were haughty(CQ) and did detestable things before me. Therefore I did away with them as you have seen.(CR) 51 Samaria did not commit half the sins you did. You have done more detestable things than they, and have made your sisters seem righteous by all these things you have done.(CS) 52 Bear your disgrace, for you have furnished some justification for your sisters. Because your sins were more vile than theirs, they appear more righteous(CT) than you. So then, be ashamed and bear(CU) your disgrace, for you have made your sisters appear righteous.
53 “‘However, I will restore(CV) the fortunes of Sodom and her daughters and of Samaria and her daughters, and your fortunes along with them,(CW) 54 so that you may bear your disgrace(CX) and be ashamed of all you have done in giving them comfort. 55 And your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will return to what they were before; and you and your daughters will return to what you were before.(CY) 56 You would not even mention your sister Sodom in the day of your pride, 57 before your wickedness was uncovered. Even so, you are now scorned(CZ) by the daughters of Edom[e](DA) and all her neighbors and the daughters of the Philistines—all those around you who despise you. 58 You will bear the consequences of your lewdness and your detestable practices, declares the Lord.(DB)
59 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I will deal with you as you deserve, because you have despised my oath by breaking the covenant.(DC) 60 Yet I will remember the covenant(DD) I made with you in the days of your youth,(DE) and I will establish an everlasting covenant(DF) with you. 61 Then you will remember your ways and be ashamed(DG) when you receive your sisters, both those who are older than you and those who are younger. I will give them to you as daughters,(DH) but not on the basis of my covenant with you. 62 So I will establish my covenant(DI) with you, and you will know that I am the Lord.(DJ) 63 Then, when I make atonement(DK) for you for all you have done, you will remember and be ashamed(DL) and never again open your mouth(DM) because of your humiliation, declares the Sovereign Lord.(DN)’”
Two Eagles and a Vine
17 The word of the Lord came to me: 2 “Son of man, set forth an allegory and tell it to the Israelites as a parable.(DO) 3 Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: A great eagle(DP) with powerful wings, long feathers and full plumage of varied colors came to Lebanon.(DQ) Taking hold of the top of a cedar, 4 he broke off(DR) its topmost shoot and carried it away to a land of merchants, where he planted it in a city of traders.
5 “‘He took one of the seedlings of the land and put it in fertile soil. He planted it like a willow by abundant water,(DS) 6 and it sprouted and became a low, spreading vine. Its branches(DT) turned toward him, but its roots remained under it. So it became a vine and produced branches and put out leafy boughs.(DU)
7 “‘But there was another great eagle with powerful wings and full plumage. The vine now sent out its roots toward him from the plot where it was planted and stretched out its branches to him for water.(DV) 8 It had been planted in good soil by abundant water so that it would produce branches,(DW) bear fruit and become a splendid vine.’
9 “Say to them, ‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: Will it thrive? Will it not be uprooted and stripped of its fruit so that it withers? All its new growth will wither. It will not take a strong arm or many people to pull it up by the roots.(DX) 10 It has been planted,(DY) but will it thrive? Will it not wither completely when the east wind strikes it—wither away in the plot where it grew?(DZ)’”
11 Then the word of the Lord came to me: 12 “Say to this rebellious people, ‘Do you not know what these things mean?(EA)’ Say to them: ‘The king of Babylon went to Jerusalem and carried off her king and her nobles,(EB) bringing them back with him to Babylon.(EC) 13 Then he took a member of the royal family and made a treaty(ED) with him, putting him under oath.(EE) He also carried away the leading men(EF) of the land, 14 so that the kingdom would be brought low,(EG) unable to rise again, surviving only by keeping his treaty. 15 But the king rebelled(EH) against him by sending his envoys to Egypt(EI) to get horses and a large army.(EJ) Will he succeed? Will he who does such things escape? Will he break the treaty and yet escape?(EK)
16 “‘As surely as I live, declares the Sovereign Lord, he shall die(EL) in Babylon, in the land of the king who put him on the throne, whose oath he despised and whose treaty he broke.(EM) 17 Pharaoh(EN) with his mighty army and great horde will be of no help to him in war, when ramps(EO) are built and siege works erected to destroy many lives.(EP) 18 He despised the oath by breaking the covenant. Because he had given his hand in pledge(EQ) and yet did all these things, he shall not escape.
19 “‘Therefore this is what the Sovereign Lord says: As surely as I live, I will repay him for despising my oath and breaking my covenant.(ER) 20 I will spread my net(ES) for him, and he will be caught in my snare. I will bring him to Babylon and execute judgment(ET) on him there because he was unfaithful(EU) to me. 21 All his choice troops will fall by the sword,(EV) and the survivors(EW) will be scattered to the winds.(EX) Then you will know that I the Lord have spoken.(EY)
22 “‘This is what the Sovereign Lord says: I myself will take a shoot(EZ) from the very top of a cedar and plant it; I will break off a tender sprig from its topmost shoots and plant it on a high and lofty mountain.(FA) 23 On the mountain heights(FB) of Israel I will plant it; it will produce branches and bear fruit(FC) and become a splendid cedar. Birds of every kind will nest in it; they will find shelter in the shade of its branches.(FD) 24 All the trees of the forest(FE) will know that I the Lord bring down(FF) the tall tree and make the low tree grow tall. I dry up the green tree and make the dry tree flourish.(FG)
“‘I the Lord have spoken, and I will do it.(FH)’”

3 ¶ Frè m' yo, se pa pou anpil moun nan mitan nou kouri dèyè plas dirèktè. Paske, konnen byen: lè nou dirèktè, Bondye ap jije nou pi sevè pase lòt yo.
2 Nou tout nou bite nan plizyè sans. Yon moun ki pa janm bite nan pawòl li, se yon moun ki bon nèt; moun sa a kapab kontwole tout kò l' byen tou.
3 Nou mete yon mò nan bouch chwal pou fè yo obeyi nou. Avèk sa, nou fè y ale kote nou vle.
4 Se menm jan an tou ak bato. Gwo kou l' gwo, gwo van te mèt ap pouse l', se yon ti gouvènay ki dirije li. Ak gouvènay tou piti sa a, kaptenn lan mennen l'l kote l' vle.
5 Konsa tou ak lang moun. Piti kou li piti, li vante tèt li pou gwo bagay li ka fè. Gade ki jan yon ti flanm dife ka boule yon gwo rakbwa!
6 Enben, lang se tankou dife. Se la tout lenjistis rete. Paske se yon manm nan kò nou li ye, l'ap kontaminen tout kò a nèt. Se lanfè menm ki mete dife nan li. Apre sa, li menm pou tèt pa l', li mete dife nan tout lavi nou.
7 Moun ka donte tout kalite bèt, zwezo, bèt ki trennen sou vant, bèt ki nan lanmè. Li menm rive donte yo deja.
8 Men, pou lang lan menm, pesonn poko ka donte li. Se yon move bagay ou pa ka kontwole, li plen pwazon ki ka touye moun.
9 Avèk lang nou, nou fè lwanj Bondye papa nou. Avèk menm lang lan, nou bay moun madichon, moun Bondye te kreye pòtre ak li.
10 Menm bouch la bay benediksyon, li bay madichon tou. Frè m' yo, sa pa dwe fèt konsa.
11 Yon sous dlo pa ka bay dlo dous ak dlo sale anmenmtan.
12 Frè m' yo, yon pye fig frans pa ka donnen grenn oliv. Ni yon pye rezen pa ka donnen fig frans. Dlo sale pa ka bay dlo dous non plis.
13 ¶ Si gen nan mitan nou yon moun ki gen bon konprann, ki gen lespri, se pou l' moutre sa ak bon kondit li. Se pou l' fè sa ki byen san lògèy, men avèk bon konprann.
14 Men, si n'ap fè jalouzi nan kè nou, si nou kenbe moun nan kè nou, si n'ap kouri dèyè enterè pa nou, pa vante tèt nou, pa fè manti sou laverite a.
15 Bon konprann konsa pa soti nan Bondye, li soti nan lemonn, nan moun ak nan dyab la.
16 Paske, kote ki gen jalouzi, kote moun ap kouri dèyè enterè pa yo, fòk gen dezòd ak tout kalite mechanste.
17 Pou konmanse, moun ki gen bon konprann ki soti nan Bondye a ap fè volonte Bondye, l'ap viv byen ak tout moun, l'ap respekte tout moun, l'ap tande rezon, l'ap gen kè sansib, l'ap fè anpil anpil byen, li pa nan de fas ni nan ipokrit.
18 Moun k'ap chache pou lèzòm viv byen yonn ak lòt, y'ap travay ak kè poze pou yo ka rekòlte yon lavi ki dwat devan Bondye.

Nouvo Testaman: Vèsyon Kreyòl Fasil
Genyen kontwòl sou pawòl nou
3 Frè m ak sè m yo, se pa yon pil nan nou ki dwe anseye. Mwen di sa paske, kòm nou konnen, nou menm k ap anseye, jijman pa nou ap pi rèd pase jijman pa lòt yo.
2 Nou tout fè anpil fot. Si yon moun pa janm fè fot an pawòl, se yon moun ki pafè. Li kapab gen kontwòl sou tout kò li. 3 Nou mete mò nan bouch chwal yo, pou fè yo obeyi nou. Konsa nou kapab dirije tout kò yo. 4 Gade bato yo! Yo gwo, epi se gwo van ki gen anpil fòs ki fè yo mache. Poutan, se avèk yon ti moso bwa yo dirije yo epi yo ale kote pilòt la vle. 5 Lang nou se menm jan an. Se yon pati ki tou piti nan kò a. Poutan, li kapab fè lwanj kantite gwo bagay li lakoz.
Gade sa, yon ti dife tou piti kapab boule yon gwo rak bwa. 6 Lang lan tou, se kòm yon ti dife, se ladan nou jwenn tout sa ki pa bon. Li se yon pati nan kò nou, epi se li ki sal tout kò nou nèt. Lang nou mete dife nan lavi nou, depi nou fèt jouk tan nou mouri. Dife sa a, se dife lanfè a ki nan lang lan.
7 Lèzòm kapab fè tout kalite zannimo obeyi yo: bèt sovaj, zwazo, sèpan epi pwason. 8 Men lang lan sovaj, pèsòn pa ka fè l obeyi! Li yon move bagay li ye, li plen ak yon pwazon ki bay lanmò. 9 Avèk lang nou, nou chante louwanj pou Senyè a, Papa nou. Avèk lang nou tou, nou modi moun yo Bondye te kreye dapre limaj li. 10 Benediksyon ak malediksyon soti nan menm bouch la! Frè m ak sè m yo, sa pa dwe konsa! 11 Èske yon sèl sous kapab bay dlo dous ak dlo anmè an menm tan? 12 Èske yon pye fig kapab donnen zoliv? Èske ou kapab keyi fig sou yon pye rezen? Se menm jan an tou, yon sous dlo sale pa kapab bay dlo dous.
Bon sajès la
13 Èske gen moun pami nou ki reyèlman saj, yon moun ki vrèman gen bon konprann? Alò, li dwe manifeste sa nan yon bon konpòtman, nan sa l ap fè avèk imilite epi ak sajès. 14 Men si w gen nan kè w yon jalouzi anmè, yon lanvi egoyis ak lanbisyon, pa fè lwanj di ou saj. Pa bay manti konsa! 15 Sajès sa a, se pa nan syèl li soti. Li soti sou latè, se sajès lèzòm, se yon sajès dyabolik. 16 Paske, kote k gen jalouzi ak lanbisyon pou pase devan lòt moun, sa fè dezòd ansanm ak tout move zak. 17 Men, sajès ki soti nan syèl la, li soti nan yon kè ki pwòp. Epi l ap pote lapè ak dousè. L ap chache ini moun. Li plen ak bonte. Li fè anpil bon bagay. Li pa nan patipri, li pa ipokrit. 18 Moun ki renmen simen lapè toupatou kote yo ye, gen pou yo rekòlte fui la jistis.

Taming the Tongue
3 Not many of you should become teachers,(A) my fellow believers, because you know that we who teach will be judged(B) more strictly.(C) 2 We all stumble(D) in many ways. Anyone who is never at fault in what they say(E) is perfect,(F) able to keep their whole body in check.(G)
3 When we put bits into the mouths of horses to make them obey us, we can turn the whole animal.(H) 4 Or take ships as an example. Although they are so large and are driven by strong winds, they are steered by a very small rudder wherever the pilot wants to go. 5 Likewise, the tongue is a small part of the body, but it makes great boasts.(I) Consider what a great forest is set on fire by a small spark. 6 The tongue also is a fire,(J) a world of evil among the parts of the body. It corrupts the whole body,(K) sets the whole course of one’s life on fire, and is itself set on fire by hell.(L)
7 All kinds of animals, birds, reptiles and sea creatures are being tamed and have been tamed by mankind, 8 but no human being can tame the tongue. It is a restless evil, full of deadly poison.(M)
9 With the tongue we praise our Lord and Father, and with it we curse human beings, who have been made in God’s likeness.(N) 10 Out of the same mouth come praise and cursing. My brothers and sisters, this should not be. 11 Can both fresh water and salt water flow from the same spring? 12 My brothers and sisters, can a fig tree bear olives, or a grapevine bear figs?(O) Neither can a salt spring produce fresh water.
Two Kinds of Wisdom
13 Who is wise and understanding among you? Let them show it(P) by their good life, by deeds(Q) done in the humility that comes from wisdom. 14 But if you harbor bitter envy and selfish ambition(R) in your hearts, do not boast about it or deny the truth.(S) 15 Such “wisdom” does not come down from heaven(T) but is earthly, unspiritual, demonic.(U) 16 For where you have envy and selfish ambition,(V) there you find disorder and every evil practice.
17 But the wisdom that comes from heaven(W) is first of all pure; then peace-loving,(X) considerate, submissive, full of mercy(Y) and good fruit, impartial and sincere.(Z) 18 Peacemakers(AA) who sow in peace reap a harvest of righteousness.(AB)
