Ezekiel 1
1 Now it came about in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, while I was by the river Chebar among those who had been made prisoners, that the heavens were made open and I saw visions of God.
Ezalaki mokolo moko, mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya minei, na mobu ya tuku misato, wana nazalaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari kati na bato oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, likolo efungwamaki mpe namonaki bimoniseli ya Nzambe.
2 On the fifth day of the month, in the fifth year after King Jehoiachin had been made a prisoner,
Kaka na mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya mobu wana, elingi koloba mobu ya mitano ya bowumbu ya mokonzi Yeoyakini,
3 The word of the Lord came to me, Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldaeans by the river Chebar; and the hand of the Lord was on me there.
Yawe alobaki na Ezekieli, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Buzi, pembeni ya ebale Kebari, kati na mokili ya bato ya Babiloni. Kuna, loboko na Yawe ezalaki likolo na ye.
4 And, looking, I saw a storm-wind coming out of the north, a great cloud with flames of fire coming after one another, and a bright light shining round about it and in the heart of it was something coloured like electrum.
Tango natalaki, namonaki mopepe moko ya makasi kowuta na ngambo ya nor; bongo mopepe yango ezalaki komema mapata minene nzela moko na mikalikali ya kongenga makasi, mpe kati na yango ezalaki kongenga lokola ebende kati na moto.
5 And in the heart of it were the forms of four living beings. And this was what they were like; they had the form of a man.
Na kati-kati na yango, namonaki biloko moko lokola bikelamu minei ya bomoi oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya moto.
6 And every one had four faces, and every one of them had four wings.
Moko na moko kati na yango ezalaki na bilongi minei mpe mapapu minei.
7 And their feet were straight feet; and the under sides of their feet were like the feet of oxen; and they were shining like polished brass.
Makolo na yango ezalaki esembolama, matambe na yango ezalaki lokola matambe ya mwana ngombe ya mobali mpe ezalaki kongenga lokola bronze oyo bapetola na moto.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings; the four of them had faces on their four sides.
Na se ya mapapu na yango, na bangambo na yango minei, ezalaki na maboko minei lokola maboko ya bato; mpe bikelamu nyonso minei ya bomoi ezalaki na bilongi mpe na mapapu na yango.
9 They went without turning, every one went straight forward.
Mapapu na yango ezalaki kotutana moko na mosusu. Ekelamu moko na moko ezalaki kokende etala kaka na liboso mpe ezalaki kotala na sima te.
10 As for the form of their faces, they had the face of a man, and the four of them had the face of a lion on the right side, and the four of them had the face of an ox on the left side, and the four of them had the face of an eagle.
Tala ndenge bilongi na yango ezalaki: ekelamu moko na moko kati na nyonso minei ezalaki na elongi lokola ya moto (na liboso): elongi lokola ya nkosi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, elongi lokola ya ngombe ya mobali na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi mpe elongi lokola ya mpongo (na sima).
11 And their wings were separate at the top; two of the wings of every one were joined one to another, and two were covering their bodies.
Bilongi na yango ezalaki nde bongo. Mapapu na yango ezalaki efungwama na likolo; ekelamu moko na moko ezalaki na mapapu mibale: lipapu moko ezalaki kotutana na lipapu moko ya ekelamu mosusu; mpe mapapu mibale ezalaki kobomba nzoto na yango.
12 Every one of them went straight forward; wherever the spirit was to go they went; they went on without turning.
Moko na moko ezalaki kokende kaka liboso; ezalaki kokende bisika nyonso oyo Molimo azalaki kokamba yango mpe ezalaki kokende epai mosusu te.
13 And between the living beings it was like burning coals of fire, as if flames were going one after the other between the living beings; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went thunder-flames.
Bikelamu yango ya bomoi ezalaki lokola makala ya moto to lokola koni oyo ezali kopela moto. Moto ezalaki kotambola-tambola kati na bikelamu yango, ezalaki kongenga mpe mikalikali ezalaki kobima kati na yango.
14 And the living beings went out and came back as quickly as a thunder-flame.
Bikelamu yango ezalaki kokende mpe kozonga lokola mikalikali.
15 Now while I was looking at the four living beings, I saw one wheel on the earth, by the side of the living beings, for the four of them.
Tango nazalaki kotala bikelamu yango, namonaki pine moko na mabele, pembeni ya ekelamu ya bomoi moko na moko, liboso ya bilongi na yango minei.
16 The form of the wheels and their work was like a beryl; the four of them had the same form and design, and they were like a wheel inside a wheel.
Tala ndenge bapine yango ezalaki mpe ndenge basala yango: ezalaki kongenga lokola libanga ya Krizolite mpe nyonso minei ezalaki ekokana; bongo na ndenge basala yango, ezalaki lokola moko kati na mosusu.
17 The four of them went straight forward without turning to one side.
Tango ekelamu moko na moko ezalaki kotambola, ezalaki kokende na ngambo oyo moko ya bilongi na yango ekotala, kati na bangambo na yango minei; ezalaki kobaluka na ngambo mosusu te mpe bapine na yango ezalaki kotengama te soki bikelamu yango ezali kotambola.
18 And I saw that they had edges, and their edges, even of the four, were full of eyes round about.
Bajante ya bapine na yango ezalaki minene mpe somo: nyonso minei ezalaki etonda na miso zingazinga na yango.
19 And when the living beings went on, the wheels went by their side; and when the living beings were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up.
Tango bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kotambola, bapine mpe ezalaki kotambola pembeni na yango; kasi soki epumbwe longwa na se, bapine mpe ezalaki kopumbwa.
20 Wherever the spirit was to go they went; and the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
Esika nyonso Molimo azalaki kokende, bikelamu yango mpe ezalaki kokende; bongo bapine mpe ezalaki komata elongo na yango, pamba te molimo ya bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kati na bapine.
21 When these went on, the others went; and when these came to rest, the others came to rest; and when these were lifted up from the earth, the wheels were lifted up by their side: for the spirit of the living beings was in the wheels.
Tango bikelamu yango ezalaki kotambola, yango mpe ezalaki kotambola; soki etelemi, yango mpe ezalaki kotelema; soki epumbwe, yango mpe ezalaki kopumbwa elongo na bikelamu yango, pamba te molimo ya bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kati na bapine.
22 And over the heads of the living beings there was the form of an arch, looking like ice, stretched out over their heads on high.
Likolo ya mito ya bikelamu yango ya bomoi ezalaki na eloko moko lokola mapata ya likolo, oyo ezalaki kongenga makasi lokola libanga ya talo oyo ya krisitali.
23 Under the arch their wings were straight, one stretched out to another: every one had two wings covering their bodies on this side and two covering their bodies on that side.
Na se ya mapata yango, mapapu na yango ezalaki esembolama mpe etutana na mapapu ya baninga na yango; mpe moko na moko kati na bikelamu yango ezalaki na mapapu mibale oyo ezalaki kobomba nzoto na yango.
24 And when they went, the sound of their wings was like the sound of great waters to my ears, like the voice of the Ruler of all, a sound like the rushing of an army: when they came to rest they let down their wings.
Tango bikelamu yango ezalaki kotambola, nazalaki koyoka makelele ya mapapu na yango lokola makelele ya bambonge ya ebale monene to lokola mongongo ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso to lokola lokito ya mampinga. Tango ezalaki kotelema, ezalaki kokitisa mapapu na yango.
25 And there was a voice from the top of the arch which was over their heads: when they came to rest they let down their wings.
Na likolo ya mito na yango, mongongo moko ezalaki koyokana wuta na likolo ya mapata oyo ezalaki; tango ezalaki kotelema, ezalaki mpe kokitisa mapapu na yango.
26 And on the top of the arch which was over their heads was the form of a king's seat, like a sapphire stone; and on the form of the seat was the form of a man seated on it on high.
Boye, na likolo ya mapata oyo ezalaki na likolo ya mito na yango, ezalaki na eloko moko lokola libanga ya talo ya langi ya bule mpe lokola kiti ya bokonzi basala na safiri; mpe na likolo ya kiti ya bokonzi yango, ezalaki na elilingi moko oyo ezalaki lokola moto.
27 And I saw it coloured like electrum, with the look of fire in it and round it, going up from what seemed to be the middle of his body; and going down from what seemed to be the middle of his body I saw what was like fire, and there was a bright light shining round him.
Namonaki lisusu ete likolo ya loketo na yango ezalaki kongenga lokola linzanza, zingazinga na yango ezalaki lokola moto, se ya loketo na yango ezalaki lokola moto; mpe mikalikali ya makasi ezingelaki yango.
28 Like the bow in the cloud on a day of rain, so was the light shining round him. And this is what the glory of the Lord was like. And when I saw it I went down on my face, and the voice of one talking came to my ears.
Kongenga oyo ezingelaki yango ezalaki lokola monama na mapata na mokolo ya mvula; elilingi yango ezalaki lokola nkembo na Yawe. Tango namonaki yango, nakweyaki, elongi na ngai kino na mabele, mpe nayokaki mongongo ya moto moko koloba na ngai.
