Ezekyèl 19
Haitian Creole Version
19 ¶ Bondye pale avè m', li di m' konsa: -Koulye a, plenn sò chèf peyi Izrayèl yo.
2 Men sa ou pral di: Apa yon manman lyon manman ou tè ye! Li kouche nan mitan lyon yo, l'ap okipe pitit li yo.
3 Li pran yonn nan pitit li yo, li fè l' tounen yon jenn mal lyon. Jenn lyon an aprann jan pou l' kouri dèyè bèt pou l' manje. Li tanmen devore moun.
4 Men, lòt nasyon yo pran nouvèl la. Yo pran l' nan pèlen twou yo te pare pou li a. Yo mete yon zanno fè nan nen l', yo trennen l' ale nan peyi Lejip.
5 Manman lyon an tann, li tann jouk li pèdi espwa wè l' ankò. Li pran yon lòt nan pitit li yo, li fè l' tounen yon jenn mal lyon.
6 Li t'ap pwonmennen nan mitan lòt lyon yo, li tounen yon jenn mal lyon. Li aprann jan pou l' kouri dèyè bèt pou l' manje. Li tanmen devore moun.
7 Li demoli fò yo. Li sakaje lavil yo. Chak fwa li gwonde, moun k'ap viv nan peyi a gen kè sote.
8 Moun lòt nasyon yo leve dèyè l'. Moun soti toupatou nan pwovens bò kote l' yo, yo vin voye yon privye sou li. Yo pran l' nan pèlen twou yo te pare pou li a.
9 Yo mete yon zanno fè nan nen l', yo fèmen l' nan yon kaj. Yo mennen l' bay wa Babilòn lan. Yo mete sòlda veye l' pou moun pa janm tande vwa l' ankò nan mòn peyi Izrayèl yo.
10 ¶ Manman ou te tankou yon pye rezen plante bò kannal dlo. Pye rezen an te chaje ak fèy, li t'ap donnen anpil paske li te jwenn kont dlo li.
11 Li pouse gwo branch. Branch yo tounen baton kòmandman wa. Pye rezen an grandi, li rive depase tèt tout lòt bwa yo. Tout moun t'ap gade jan li te wo, jan li te gen anpil branch.
12 Men, yo move sou li, yo derasinen l', yo jete l' atè. Van lès koule tout donn li yo, li kase tout gwo branch li yo. Branch yo cheche, yo boule nan dife.
13 Koulye a, se nan yon dezè li kanpe, nan yon tè sèk san dlo.
14 Dife pran nan pye rezen an. Li boule ni branch li yo ni donn li yo. Li pa gen gwo branch ankò ki pou ta sèvi baton kòmandman pou wa. Sa a se yon chante pou yo chante anpil fwa pou plenn sò chèf peyi Izrayèl yo.
Ezekiel 19
New International Version
A Lament Over Israel’s Princes
19 “Take up a lament(A) concerning the princes(B) of Israel 2 and say:
“‘What a lioness(C) was your mother
among the lions!
She lay down among them
and reared her cubs.(D)
3 She brought up one of her cubs,
and he became a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.
4 The nations heard about him,
and he was trapped in their pit.
They led him with hooks(E)
to the land of Egypt.(F)
5 “‘When she saw her hope unfulfilled,
her expectation gone,
she took another of her cubs(G)
and made him a strong lion.(H)
6 He prowled among the lions,
for he was now a strong lion.
He learned to tear the prey
and he became a man-eater.(I)
7 He broke down[a] their strongholds
and devastated(J) their towns.
The land and all who were in it
were terrified by his roaring.
8 Then the nations(K) came against him,
those from regions round about.
They spread their net(L) for him,
and he was trapped in their pit.(M)
9 With hooks(N) they pulled him into a cage
and brought him to the king of Babylon.(O)
They put him in prison,
so his roar(P) was heard no longer
on the mountains of Israel.(Q)
10 “‘Your mother was like a vine in your vineyard[b](R)
planted by the water;(S)
it was fruitful and full of branches
because of abundant water.(T)
11 Its branches were strong,
fit for a ruler’s scepter.
It towered high
above the thick foliage,
conspicuous for its height
and for its many branches.(U)
12 But it was uprooted(V) in fury
and thrown to the ground.
The east wind(W) made it shrivel,
it was stripped of its fruit;
its strong branches withered
and fire consumed them.(X)
13 Now it is planted in the desert,(Y)
in a dry and thirsty land.(Z)
14 Fire spread from one of its main[c] branches
and consumed(AA) its fruit.
No strong branch is left on it
fit for a ruler’s scepter.’(AB)
“This is a lament(AC) and is to be used as a lament.”
