Ezekyèl 27
1 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' konsa:
The word of Jehovah came again to me, saying:
2 -Nonm o! Chante pou plenn sò lavil Tir!
Son of man, take up a lamentation over Tyre,
3 W'a pale ak moun lavil Tir yo, lavil ki kanpe bò lanmè a, lavil k'ap fè kòmès ak dènye moun ki rete bò lanmè, w'a di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: -Nou menm, moun lavil Tir, k'ap mache di: Pa gen pi bèl peyi pase peyi nou an!
and say to Tyre, O thou that didst dwell at the entrance of the sea, the merchant of the nations to many coasts! thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O Tyre, thou hast said, “I am perfect in beauty.”
4 Fwontyè nou rive jouk nan mitan lanmè. Moun ki bati lavil la te bati l' tankou yon bèl batiman.
Thy borders are in the midst of the seas; thy builders have perfected thy beauty.
5 Yo te pran bwapen sou mòn Seni fè planch pou sèvi bòday nou yo. Yo pran yon bwa sèd peyi Liban pou fè ma pou nou.
They made all thy ship-boards of cypresses of Senir; they took cedars from Lebanon to make masts for thee.
6 Yo pran bwadchenn peyi Bazan pou fè zaviwon. Yo voye chache bwa sèd nan lil Chip pou fè pon an. Lèfini, yo plake moso ivwa sou tout pon an.
Of oaks of Bashan they made thine oars; thy benches they made of ivory inlaid in cedar from the coasts of the Chittaeans.
7 Vwal batiman an te fèt ak bèl twal fin blan bwode ki soti peyi Lejip. Se te drapo pa nou sa! Kabin sou pon an te kouvri ak bèl twal violèt, bèl twal wouj ki soti nan lil Elicha.
Fine linen with broidered work from Egypt was that which thou didst spread forth to be thy sail; blue and purple from the coasts of Elisha were thy covering.
8 Se gason ki soti lavil Sidon ak lavil Avad k'ap naje zaviwon pou ou. Men, se moun lavil la menm ki te fò anpil nan lamarin ki te maren sou batiman an.
The inhabitants of Zidon and Arvad were thy rowers; thy wise men, O Tyre, that were in thee, were thy pilots.
9 Se ansyen gwo bòs chapant lavil Gebal ak bon ouvriye yo ki te abò batiman an pou fè reparasyon. Maren tout batiman ki sou lanmè a vin fè trafik lakay ou.
The ancients of Gebal and the skilful men thereof were in thee, thy calkers; all the ships of the sea, with their mariners, were in thee, to traffic in thy merchandise.
10 Nan lame ou la se renk moun peyi Pès, moun peyi Loud ak moun peyi Pout ki t'ap sèvi. Yo konn fè lagè. Se nan kazèn ou yo yo te konn mete gwo plak fè pwotèj yo ak kas an fè yo. Se moun sa yo ki te fè ou rive nan tout bèl pozisyon sa a.
Persians, and Lydians, and Lybians were in thine army, thy men of war; they hung up the shield and helmet in thee; they set forth thy glory.
11 Sòlda ki soti lavil Avad ap veye sou tout miray ranpa ou yo. Sòlda ki soti lavil Gamad t'ap fè faksyonnè sou tout gwo fò won ou yo. Yo pandye plak fè pwotèj yo sou tout miray yo. Se moun sa yo ki te fè ou bèl kont bèl ou.
The men of Arvad and thine own army were upon thy walls round about, and brave warriors were in thy towers; they hung their shields upon thy walls round about; they made thy beauty perfect.
12 Moun lavil Tasis nan peyi Lespay vin fè kòmès ak ou, paske ou te gen tout kalite bèl bagay an kantite. Yo vann ou ajan, fè, fèblan ak plon pou yo te ka achte machandiz ou yo.
Tarshish trafficked with thee on account of the abundance of all kinds of goods; with silver, iron, tin, and lead they traded in thy fairs.
13 Ou fè kòmès ak peyi Lagrès, ak lavil Toubal, ak lavi Mechèk. Yo vann ou esklav ak tout kalite bagay fèt an kwiv pou machandiz pa ou yo.
Javan, Tubal, and Meshech trafficked with thee; the persons of men and vessels of brass they sold in thy market.
14 Ou fè trafik ak moun Togama. Ou vann yo machandiz pa ou. Pou peye ou, yo ba ou chwal pou travay, chwal pou fè lagè ak milèt.
They of the house of Togarmah traded in thy fairs with horses and horsemen and mules.
15 Moun lavil Wòd yo fè kòmès avèk ou tou. Moun anpil lòt peyi ki bò gwo lanmè a te fè pratik ak ou. Ou ba yo machandiz ou yo, yo peye ak gwo kòn ivwa ak bwa nwa.
The men of Dedan trafficked with thee; many islands were at hand to thee for trade; they brought thee, for payment, horns of ivory, and ebony-wood.
16 Moun peyi Siri yo fè komès avèk ou paske ou te gen anpil machandiz. Yo vann ou bèl pyè ki koute chè, bèl twal wouj, twal bwode, grenn koray, twal fin blan, ak pyè woubi. Ou menm, ou vann yo machandiz pa ou.
Syria trafficked with thee by reason of the multitude of the wares of thy making; with carbuncles, purple and embroidered work, and fine linen, and corals, and rubies, they traded in thy fairs.

Vedan and Javan brought thread to thy market; wrought iron, cassia, and sweet reed were in thy fairs.
20 Moun lavil Dadan yo ba ou sèl ak chabrak pou machandiz ou yo.
Dedan brought cloth for riding, in traffic with thee.
21 Moun peyi Arabi yo ak chèf peyi Keda yo te pratik ou tou. Yo te vann ou ti mouton, belye mouton ak bouk kabrit.
Arabia and all the princes of Kedar were at hand to traffic with thee; they traded with thee in lambs and rams and goats.
22 Machann ki soti Seba ak Rema vin vann ou bon kalite zepis, bèl pyè ki koute chè ak lò.
The merchants of Sheba and Raamah trafficked with thee with all kinds of precious spices, and with all kinds of precious stones, and gold.
23 Moun lavil Aran, moun lavil Kane, moun lavil Edenn, machann ki soti lavil Seba, lavil Asou ak lavil Chilman, yo tout t'ap fè kòmès avè ou.
Haran, and Canneh, and Eden, the merchants of Sheba, Assyria, and Chilmad,
24 Yo vann ou bèl twal ki koute chè, twal wouj, twal bwode, bèl tapi tout koulè, bon kòd trese byen solid.
trafficked with thee in splendid apparel, in mantles of blue and embroidered work, in chests of damask bound with cords and made of cedar, in thy market.
25 Gwo batiman Tasis yo t'ap vwayaje toupatou al vann machandiz ou yo. Ou te tankou yon batiman chaje kouleba, nan mitan lanmè.
The ships of Tarshish were the caravans for thy traffic; and thou wast replenished and made very glorious in the midst of the seas.
26 Moun ki t'ap naje zaviwon yo te mennen ou byen lwen nan fon lanmè. Yon sèl van lès te fè ou koule byen lwen nan mitan lanmè.
Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters; the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas.
27 Tout richès ou yo, tout machandiz ou yo, ak tout pwovizyon ou yo ansanm ak tout maren ak tout moun k'ap travay pou ou yo, bòs chapant ki pou fè reparasyon pou ou yo, machann ou yo, tout sòlda ki te abò ou yo ansanm ak tout foul moun ki te nan batiman an, yo tout, wi, yo tout pèdi nan lanmè lè batiman ou lan koule.
Thy riches, and thy fairs, and thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the traders in thy merchandise, and all thy men of war within thee, and all thy multitude that is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin.
28 Rèl maren k'ap neye yo fè moun ki rete sou rivaj yo pran tranble.
At the sound of the cry of thy pilots the pastures around thee shall shake.
29 Tout moun ki t'ap naje zaviwon yo desann atè, yo kite batiman yo. Tout maren yo rete atè.
And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships; they shall stand upon the land,
30 Y'ap kriye pou ou, y'ap plenn sò ou. Y'ap voye pousyè tè sou tèt yo, y'ap woule kò yo nan sann dife, tèlman y'ap nan lapenn.
and shall cause their voice to be heard for thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast dust upon their heads, and roll themselves in ashes.
31 Yo koupe tout cheve nan tèt yo. Yo mete rad sak sou yo. Sa fè yo mal anpil pou ou. Yo dekouraje, y'ap plenn sò ou.
And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird themselves with sackcloth; and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing.
32 Nan lapenn yo y'ap chante sou ou. Yo pral plenn sò ou ak dlo nan je. Y'ap di: Pa te gen tankou lavil Tir ki koulye a koule nan fon lanmè!
And in their wailing they shall take up for thee a lamentation, and shall lament over thee, saying: “What city is like Tyre, like the Destroyed in the midst of the sea?
33 Lè ou voye machandiz ou yo vann lòt bò dlo, tout nasyon yo jwenn sa yo bezwen. Avèk kantite machandiz ak danre ou yo, ou te fè anpil wa vin rich.
When thy wares went forth from the seas, thou didst satisfy many nations; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the abundance of thy riches and thy merchandise.
34 Koulye a, ou koule nan fon lanmè. Tout machandiz ou yo, tout moun ki t'ap travay pou ou yo disparèt ansanm avè ou nan lanmè.
Now thou art broken by the seas in the depth of the waters, and thy merchandise and all thy multitude in the midst of thee are fallen.
35 Tout moun ki rete nan peyi bò gwo lanmè a sezi tande sa ki rive ou. Ata wa yo gen kè sote. Yo kagou sitèlman yo pè.
All the inhabitants of the isles are astonished at thee, and their kings shudder; they are troubled in their countenance.
36 Moun k'ap fè kòmès nan lòt peyi yo sezi, yo pè pou sa ki rive ou la pa rive yo tou. Wi, ou fini, ou fini nèt.
The merchants among the nations hiss at thee. Thou art a desolation, and shalt exist no more forever.”
