Ezekiel 24
1 In the ninth year, on the tenth day of the tenth month, the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya libwa, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 “Son of man, write down today’s date, for on this very day the king of Babylon has laid siege to Jerusalem.
« Mwana na moto, koma mokolo oyo kati na buku, mokolo ya lelo, pamba te ezali na mokolo oyo nde mokonzi ya Babiloni azingelaki engumba Yelusalemi.
3 Now speak a parable to this rebellious house and tell them that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Put the pot on the fire; put it on and pour in the water.
Loba na libota oyo ya batomboki lisese oyo; yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Kamata nzungu moko ya kolambela, bongisa yango mpe tia mayi kati na yango.
4 Put in the pieces of meat, every good piece— thigh and shoulder— fill it with choice bones.
Tia biteni ya misuni kati na yango, biteni nyonso ya malamu: lokolo mpe lipeka; tondisa yango na mikuwa ya malamu.
5 Take the choicest of the flock and pile the fuel beneath it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.’
Kamata bameme oyo ezanga mbeba kati na etonga mpe sangisa bakoni na se ya nzungu yango; pelisa moto mpe tokisa nzungu yango kino mikuwa ekobela penza!
6 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed, to the pot now rusted, whose rust will not come off! Empty it piece by piece; cast no lots for its contents.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na engumba oyo esopaka makila, nzungu ya salite, nzungu oyo elongwaka salite te! Tika yango pamba, longola eteni moko na moko kino nyonso ekosila na kobeta zeke te.
7 For the blood she shed is still within her; she poured it out on the bare rock; she did not pour it on the ground to cover it with dust.
Pamba te makila oyo esopaki ezali kati na yango; esopaki yango na likolo ya libanga, esopaki yango na mabele te epai wapi putulu ekokaki kozipa yango.
8 In order to stir up wrath and take vengeance, I have placed her blood on the bare rock, so that it would not be covered.’
Mpo na kopelisa kanda na Ngai mpe kozongisela yango mabe na mabe, natie makila na yango na likolo ya mabanga mpo ete ebombama te.
9 Yes, this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Woe to the city of bloodshed! I, too, will pile the kindling high.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na engumba oyo esopaka makila! Ngai mpe nakosangisela yo bakoni ebele.
10 Pile on the logs and kindle the fire; cook the meat well and mix in the spices; let the bones be burned.
Sangisa bakoni mpe pelisa moto. Lamba misuni malamu, sangisa yango na biloko mike-mike ya solo kitoko oyo balambelaka mpe sala ete mikuwa ezika.
11 Set the empty pot on its coals until it becomes hot and its copper glows. Then its impurity will melt within; its rust will be consumed.
Bongo tia nzungu ya pamba na likolo ya makala ya moto kino ekoma moto mpe linzanza na yango ekoma motane, mpo ete mbindo na yango elongwa mpe konzuluka na yango ekende na moto.
12 It has frustrated every effort; its thick rust has not been removed, even by the fire.
Kasi konzuluka na yango esilisi makasi ya bato, bosoto na yango etikali kolongwa te! Ezala moto, elongi te kolongola bosoto yango!
13 Because of the indecency of your uncleanness I tried to cleanse you, but you would not be purified from your filthiness. You will not be pure again until My wrath against you has subsided.
Yelusalemi, mbindo na yo ezali kindumba. Nalukaki kokomisa yo peto, kasi olingaki kopetolama te na bosoto na yo. Okotikala lisusu kozala peto te kino tango nakosilisa kosopela yo kanda na Ngai.
14 I, the LORD, have spoken; the time is coming, and I will act. I will not refrain or show pity, nor will I relent. I will judge you according to your ways and deeds,’
Ngai Yawe nde nalobaki. Tango ekoki mpo na Ngai kosala; nakoyoka mawa te, nakozonga sima te! Okosambisama solo kolanda etamboli mpe misala na yo, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
15 Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
16 “Son of man, behold, I am about to take away the desire of your eyes with a fatal blow. But you must not mourn or weep or let your tears flow.
« Mwana na moto, nakolongola, na nzela ya kufa ya pwasa, mwasi oyo asepelisaka motema na yo. Kasi komitungisa te, kolela te mpe kotangisa mpinzoli te.
17 Groan quietly; do not mourn for the dead. Put on your turban and strap your sandals on your feet; do not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.”
Lela na se ya motema, kosala matanga na tina na ye te. Kanga kitendi na moto na yo mpe tia sandale na makolo na yo; kozipa mandefu ya elongi na yo te mpe kolia bilei ya matanga te, ndenge ezali ezaleli ya bokoko na bino. »
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and in the evening my wife died. And the next morning I did as I had been commanded.
Boye, na tongo, nasololaki na bato; bongo na pokwa, mwasi na Ngai akufaki. Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, nasalaki kolanda mitindo oyo epesamelaki ngai.
19 Then the people asked me, “Won’t you tell us what these things you are doing mean to us?”
Boye, bato batunaki ngai: — Okoki koyebisa biso te soki makambo oyo ozali kosala elakisi nini?
20 So I answered them, “The word of the LORD came to me, saying:
Nazongiselaki bango: — Yawe alobaki na ngai:
21 Tell the house of Israel that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I am about to desecrate My sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and the delight of your soul. And the sons and daughters you left behind will fall by the sword.’
« Yebisa libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakomi pene ya kosambwisa bosantu ya Esika na Ngai ya bule oyo esalaka lolendo na bino, oyo esepelisaka miso na bino mpe esalaka esengo ya mitema na bino. Bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi oyo botikaki na Yelusalemi bakokufa na mopanga.
22 Then you will do as I have done: You will not cover your lips or eat the bread of mourners.
Boye, bokosala ndenge Ngai nasali: bokozipa mandefu na bino te mpe bokolia bilei ya matanga te;
23 Your turbans will remain on your heads and your sandals on your feet. You will not mourn or weep, but you will waste away because of your sins, and you will groan among yourselves.
bokokanga bitendi na mito na bino mpe bokolata basandale na makolo na bino, bokosala matanga te mpe bokolela te, kasi bokomona pasi mpo na masumu na bino mpe bokokoma kolelalela kati na bino.
24 ‘Thus Ezekiel will be a sign for you; you will do everything that he has done. When this happens, you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’
Ezekieli akozala lokola elembo mpo na bino: bokosala ndenge kaka ye asalaki. Tango makambo oyo ekosalema, bokososola ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. ›
25 And you, son of man, know that on the day I take away their stronghold, their pride and joy—the desire of their eyes which uplifted their souls—and their sons and daughters as well,
Bongo yo, mwana na moto; na mikolo ekoya, nakobotola bandako na bango oyo batonga makasi mpe batielaka motema, oyo esalaka esengo mpe lokumu na bango, oyo esepelisaka miso na bango mpe esalaka esengo ya mitema na bango; nakobotola lisusu bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi.
26 on that day a fugitive will come and tell you the news.
Na mokolo wana, moto moko akokima mpe akoya kopesa yo basango.
27 On that day your mouth will be opened to him who has escaped; you will speak and no longer be mute. So you will be a sign to them, and they will know that I am the LORD.”
Na mokolo wana, monoko na yo ekofungwama, okosolola na monoko yango mpe okokanga lisusu yango te. Boye, okozala elembo mpo na bango mpe bakoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. »
