Ezekyèl 33
Bib La · Kreyòl Ayisyen
1 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò. Li di m' konsa: 2 -Nonm o! Pale ak moun pèp Izrayèl yo. W'a di yo konsa: Lè m'ap voye lènmi atake yon peyi, moun peyi a va chwazi yonn nan yo, y'a mete l' faksyonnè pou veye peyi a. 3 Lè faksyonnè a va wè lènmi ap pwoche, l'a bay yon kout klewon pou avèti moun yo. 4 Si yon moun tande klewon an, men li pa okipe l', kifè lènmi an rive, li touye l', se djòb pa moun sa a, l'ap pote reskonsablite lanmò li. 5 Li tande kout klewon an pati, men li pa okipe sa, kifè sa lakòz li mouri. Paske si li te koute avètisman an, li ta ka pa mouri. 6 Men, si faksyonnè a wè lènmi ap vini epi li pa bay kout klewon an pou avèti moun yo, lènmi an ap vini, l'ap touye moun. Moun yo ap mouri akòz peche yo fè, se vre. Men, se faksyonnè a k'ap pote reskonsablite lanmò yo. 7 Koulye a, nonm o! Mwen mete ou faksyonnè pou veye pou pèp Izrayèl la. Lè w'a tande mesaj m'a ba ou a, w'a avèti yo pou mwen. 8 Si mwen fè ou konnen yon mechan gen pou l' mouri, epi ou pa avèti l' pou l' chanje, pou l' kite move pant l'ap swiv la pou l' ka sove lavi l', l'ap toujou mouri poutèt peche l' yo, men se ou menm m'ap rann reskonsab lanmò li. 9 Men, si ou avèti mechan an, lèfini li pa chanje, li pa kite move pant l'ap swiv la, l'ap mouri poutèt peche l' yo, men ou menm w'ap sove lavi pa ou. 10 Seyè a pale avè m', li di m' ankò: -Nonm o! W'a fè moun pèp Izrayèl yo chonje jan yo t'ap plede repete: Peche nou yo ak fòt nou yo ap peze lou sou nou. Se fini y'ap fini ak nou! Nou pa ka viv nan kondisyon sa a ankò! 11 Enben, ou menm w'a di yo: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale! Men sa mwen di: Mwen pa pran ankenn plezi nan wè mechan yo mouri. Mwen ta pito wè yo sispann fè sa ki mal pou yo ka viv. Nou menm moun pèp Izrayèl yo, sispann fè sa nou pa dwe fè. Tounen vin jwenn mwen. Poukisa se lanmò n'ap chache konsa? 12 Ou menm, nonm o! Men sa w'a di moun ou yo: Yon moun te mèt bon kou l' bon, li te mèt mache dwat kou l' mache dwat, jou li fè sa ki mal, li gen pou l' peye sa. Jou mechan an va sispann fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap pini l' pou sa li te konn fè a. Konsa tou, lè yon moun ki t'ap mache dwat pran fè sa ki mal, yo p'ap gade sou jan l' te konn mache dwat la pou yo pa fè l' peye sa l' fè a. 13 Wi, mwen deklare tout moun k'ap mache dwat yo gen pou viv. Men, si yo tanmen mete nan tèt yo, paske yo te konn mache dwat la yo gen dwa fè sa ki mal, mwen p'ap chonje jan yo te konn mache dwat la menm. Y'ap mouri paske yo fè sa yo pa t' dwe fè. 14 Konsa tou, m' avèti tout mechan yo yo gen pou mouri. Men, si yon mechan sispann fè sa ki mal, epi li tanmen mache dwat devan mwen, l'ap fè sa ki byen, 15 si pa egzanp, li renmèt garanti yo te ba li pou lajan li te prete, si l' renmèt sa li te vòlò a, osinon si li sispann fè sa ki mal pou li mache dapre lòd mwen k'ap bay lavi a, li p'ap mouri, se viv pou li viv. 16 M'ap padonnen tout peche li te fè yo. L'ap viv paske l'ap mache dwat devan mwen, l'ap fè sa ki byen. 17 Moun ou yo ap plede di: Sa Bondye ap fè a pa bon. Men, se sa yo menm y'ap fè a ki pa bon. 18 Lè moun k'ap mache dwat la sispann fè sa ki byen pou l' lage kò l' nan fè sa ki mal, l'ap mouri poutèt sa. 19 Konsa tou, lè mechan an sispann fè mechanste pou li mache dwat, pou li fè sa ki byen, l'ap sove lavi l' poutèt sa. 20 Nou di sa Bondye sèl Mèt la ap fè a pa bon. Enben, m'ap jije chak moun dapre sa yo fè. Nou tande, moun pèp Izrayèl yo! 21 Nan senkyèm jou, dizyèm mwa, douzyèm lanne depi yo te depòte nou an, yon moun ki te resi chape kò l' soti lavil Jerizalèm vin pote nouvèl ban mwen, li di m' lavil la tonbe nan men lènmi. 22 Lavèy jou sa a, nan aswè, mwen te santi pouvwa Seyè a chita sou mwen avèk fòs. Nan maten, lè moun lan rive, Seyè a demare lang mwen pou m' te ka pale. Mwen pa t' bèbè ankò. 23 Seyè a pale avè m' ankò, li di m' konsa: 24 -Nonm o! Rès moun k'ap viv nan lavil yo fin kraze nan peyi Izrayèl la ap plede di: Abraram te pou kont li. Yo te ba li tout peyi a pou li. Nou menm nou anpil. Konsa, tout peyi a ap rete pou nou. 25 Men sa pou ou di yo: Seyè sèl Mèt la pale, li voye di nou: N'ap manje vyann ak tout san li ladan l'. N'ap fè sèvis pou zidòl, n'ap mete san moun deyò, epi nou mete nan tèt nou tout peyi a pral rete pou nou? 26 Nou met konfyans nou nan nepe nou. N'ap fè yon bann bagay ki derespektan. Tout gason marye ap kouche ak madanm frè parèy yo. Epi nou mete nan tèt nou tout peyi a pral rete pou nou? 27 W'a pale ak yo, w'a di yo men mesaj Seyè sèl Mèt la voye ba yo: Jan nou konnen mwen vivan vre a, se mwen menm Seyè a k'ap pale: Rès moun k'ap viv nan lavil kraze yo pral mouri nan lagè. Moun k'ap viv andeyò yo, se bèt nan bwa ki pral manje yo. Moun ki al kache kò yo nan mòn, nan twou wòch, se maladi ki pral fini ak yo. 28 M'ap fè peyi a tounen yon dezè san pesonn ladan l'. Fòs pouvwa ki te fè l' ap gonfle sou moun lan pral kraze. Mòn peyi Izrayèl yo pral tounen savann. Pesonn p'ap ka vwayaje pase ladan yo. 29 Lè m'a pini pèp la pou tout bagay derespektan yo fè yo, lè m'a fè peyi a tounen yon dezè san pesonn ladan l', lè sa a, y'a konnen se mwen menm ki Seyè a. 30 Seyè a di m' konsa: -Nonm o! Tout pèp la sou do ou lè yo kontre yonn ak lòt bò miray lavil la, nan papòt lakay yo. Yonn ap di lòt: Ann al tande ki mesaj Seyè a voye ban nou fwa sa a! 31 Se konsa, tankou si yo te gen dizon, tout pèp la ap sanble bò kote ou, y'ap vin chita devan ou pou yo ka koute sa w'ap di. Men, yo p'ap fè sa w'ap di yo fè. Yo pran pawòl ou yo pou fè bèl fraz. Se enterè yo ase yo konnen. 32 Pou yo, ou pa anyen pase yon mizisyen ki gen bèl vwa, k'ap chante bèl ti chante swa, ki konn jwe mizik byen. Y'ap koute tou sa w'ap di yo, men yo p'ap fè sa ou di yo fè. 33 Men, lè sa ou di ki gen pou rive a rive vre, paske l'ap rive vre, se lè sa a y'a rekonèt te gen yon pwofèt nan mitan yo.

Ezekyèl 33:2
Eze 33:1-33. Renewal of Ezekiel's Commission, Now that He Is Again to Address His Countrymen, and in a New Tone.
Heretofore his functions had been chiefly threatening; from this point, after the evil had got to its worst in the overthrow of Jerusalem, the consolatory element preponderates.
2. to the children of thy people--whom he had been forbidden to address from Eze 24:26, 27, till Jerusalem was overthrown, and the "escaped" came with tidings of the judgment being completed. So now, in Eze 33:21, the tidings of the fact having arrived, he opens his heretofore closed lips to the Jews. In the interval he had prophesied as to foreign nations. The former part of the chapter, at Eze 33:2-20, seems to have been imparted to Ezekiel on the evening previous (Eze 33:22), being a preparation for the latter part (Eze 33:23-33) imparted after the tidings had come. This accounts for the first part standing without intimation of the date, which was properly reserved for the latter part, to which the former was the anticipatory introduction [Fairbairn].
watchman--Eze 33:1-9 exhibit Ezekiel's office as a spiritual watchman; so in Eze 3:16-21; only here the duties of the earthly watchman (compare 2Sa 18:24, 25; 2Ki 9:17) are detailed first, and then the application is made to the spiritual watchman's duty (compare Is 21:6-10; Ho 9:8; Ha 2:1). "A man of their coasts" is a man specially chosen for the office out of their whole number. So Jud 18:2, "five men from their coasts"; also the Hebrew of Ge 47:2; implying the care needed in the choice of the watchman, the spiritual as well as the temporal (Ac 1:21, 22, 24-26; 1Ti 5:22).
Ezekyèl 33:3
3. the sword--invaders. An appropriate illustration at the time of the invasion of Judea by Nebuchadnezzar.
Ezekyèl 33:4
4. blood ... upon his own head--metaphor from sacrificial victims, on the heads of which they used to lay their hands, praying that their guilt should be upon the victims.
Ezekyèl 33:6
6. his iniquity--his negligence in not maintaining constant watchfulness, as they who are in warfare ought to do. The thing signified here appears from under the image.
Ezekyèl 33:7
7. I have set thee a watchman--application of the image. Ezekiel's appointment to be a watchman spiritually is far more solemn, as it is derived from God, not from the people.
Ezekyèl 33:8
8. thou shalt surely die--by a violent death, the earnest of everlasting death; the qualification being supposed, "if thou dost not repent."
Ezekyèl 33:9
9. Blood had by this time been shed (Eze 33:21), but Ezekiel was clear.
Ezekyèl 33:10
Ezekyèl 33:11
11. To meet the Jews' cry of despair in Eze 33:10, Ezekiel here cheers them by the assurance that God has no pleasure in their death, but that they should repent and live (2Pe 3:9). A yearning tenderness manifests itself here, notwithstanding all their past sins; yet with it a holiness that abates nothing of its demands for the honor of God's authority. God's righteousness is vindicated as in Eze 3:18-21 and Eze 18:1-32, by the statement that each should be treated with the closest adaptation of God's justice to his particular case.
Ezekyèl 33:12
Ezekyèl 33:15
15. give again that he had robbed--(Lu 19:8).
statutes of life--in the obeying of which life is promised (Le 18:5). If the law has failed to give life to man, it has not been the fault of the law, but of man's sinful inability to keep it (Ro 7:10, 12; Ga 3:21). It becomes life-giving through Christ's righteous obedience to it (2Co 3:6).
Ezekyèl 33:17
17. The way of the Lord--The Lord's way of dealing in His moral government.
Ezekyèl 33:21
21. twelfth year ... tenth month--a year and a half after the capture of the city (Jr 39:2; 52:5, 6), in the eleventh year and fourth month. The one who escaped (as foretold, Eze 24:26) may have been so long on the road through fear of entering the enemy's country [Henderson]; or, the singular is used for the plural in a collective sense, "the escaped remnant." Compare similar phrases, "the escaped of Moab," Is 15:9; "He that escapeth of them," Am 9:1. Naturally the reopening of the prophet's mouth for consolation would be deferred till the number of the escaped remnant was complete: the removal of such a large number would easily have occupied seventeen or eighteen months.
Ezekyèl 33:22
22. in the evening--(see on Eze 33:2). Thus the capture of Jerusalem was known to Ezekiel by revelation before the messenger came.
my mouth ... no more dumb--that is, to my countrymen; as foretold (Eze 24:27), He spake (Eze 33:2-20) in the evening before the tidings came.
Ezekyèl 33:24
24. they that inhabit ... wastes of ... Israel--marking the blindness of the fraction of Jews under Gedaliah who, though dwelling amidst regions laid waste by the foe, still cherished hopes of deliverance, and this without repentance.
Abraham was one ... but we are many--If God gave the land for an inheritance to Abraham, who was but one (Is 51:2), much more it is given to us, who, though reduced, are still many. If he, with 318 servants, was able to defend himself amid so many foes, much more shall we, so much more numerous, retain our own. The grant of the land was not for his sole use, but for his numerous posterity.
inherited the land--not actually possessed it (Ac 7:5), but had the right of dwelling and pasturing his flocks in it [Grotius]. The Jews boasted similarly of their Abrahamic descent in Mt 3:9 and Joh 8:39.
Ezekyèl 33:25
Ezekyèl 33:26
26. Ye stand upon your sword--Your dependence is, not on right and equity, but on force and arms.
every one--Scarcely anyone refrains from adultery.
Ezekyèl 33:27
27. shall fall by the sword--The very object of their confidence would be the instrument of their destruction. Thinking to "stand" by it, by it they shall "fall." Just retribution! Some fell by the sword of Ishmael; others by the Chaldeans in revenge for the murder of Gedaliah (Jr 40:1-44:30).
caves--(Jud 6:2; 1Sa 13:6). In the hilly parts of Judea there were caves almost inaccessible, as having only crooked and extremely narrow paths of ascent, with rock in front stretching down into the valleys beneath perpendicularly [Josephus, Wars of the Jews, 1.16.4].
Ezekyèl 33:28
Ezekyèl 33:30
30. Not only the remnant in Judea, but those at the Chebar, though less flagrantly, betrayed the same unbelieving spirit.
talking against thee--Though going to the prophet to hear the word of the Lord, they criticised, in an unfriendly spirit, his peculiarities of manner and his enigmatical style (Eze 20:49); making these the excuse for their impenitence. Their talking was not directly "against" Ezekiel, for they professed to like his ministrations; but God's word speaks of things as they really are, not as they appear.
by the walls--in the public haunts. In the East groups assemble under the walls of their houses in winter for conversation.
in the doors--privately.
what is the word--Their motive was curiosity, seeking pastime and gratification of the ear (2Ti 4:3); not reformation of the heart. Compare Johanan's consultation of Jeremiah, to hear the word of the Lord without desiring to do it (Jr 42:1-43:13).
Ezekyèl 33:31
31. as the people cometh--that is, in crowds, as disciples flock to their teacher.
sit before thee--on lower seats at thy feet, according to the Jewish custom of pupils (De 33:3; 2Ki 4:38; Lu 10:39; Ac 22:3).
as my people--though they are not.
hear ... not do--(Mt 13:20, 21; Jas 1:23, 24).
they show much love--literally, "make love," that is, act the part of lovers. Profess love to the Lord (Mt 7:21). Gesenius translates, according to Arabic idiom, "They do the delights of God," that is, all that is agreeable to God. Vulgate translates, "They turn thy words into a song of their mouths."
heart goeth after ... covetousness--the grand rival to the love of God; therefore called "idolatry," and therefore associated with impure carnal love, as both alike transfer the heart's affection from the Creator to the creature (Mt 13:22; Ep 5:5; 1Ti 6:10).
Ezekyèl 33:32
32. very lovely song--literally, a "song of loves": a lover's song. They praise thy eloquence, but care not for the subject of it as a real and personal thing; just as many do in the modern church [Jerome].
play well on an instrument--Hebrew singers accompanied the "voice" with the harp.
Ezekyèl 33:33
33. when this cometh to pass--when My predictions are verified.
lo, it will come--rather, "lo it is come" (see Eze 33:22).
know--experimentally, and to their cost.
