Ezekiel 1
1 And it happened that, in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives beside the river Chebar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the 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 of the month, the same is the fifth year of the transmigration of king Joachin,
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 Ezekiel, a priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the Chaldeans, next to the river Chebar. And the hand of the Lord was over him 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 I saw, and behold, a whirlwind arrived from the north. And a great cloud, wrapped in fire and brightness, was all around it. And from its midst, that is, from the midst of the fire, there was something with the appearance of amber.
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 its midst, there was the likeness of four living creatures. And this was their appearance: the likeness of a man was in them.
Na kati-kati na yango, namonaki biloko moko lokola bikelamu minei ya bomoi oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya moto.
6 Each one had four faces, and each one had four wings.
Moko na moko kati na yango ezalaki na bilongi minei mpe mapapu minei.
7 Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of the foot of a calf, and they sparkled with the appearance of glowing 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 on the four sides. And they had faces with the wings on the 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 And their wings were joined to one another. They did not turn as they went. Instead, each one advanced before his face.
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 But as for the likeness of their face, there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right of each of the four, then the face of an ox on the left of each of the four, and the face of an eagle above each of the four.
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 Their faces and their wings were extended above: two wings of each one were joined together, and two covered 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 And each one of them advanced before his face. Wherever the impetus of the spirit was to go, there they went. And they did not turn as they advanced.
Moko na moko ezalaki kokende kaka liboso; ezalaki kokende bisika nyonso oyo Molimo azalaki kokamba yango mpe ezalaki kokende epai mosusu te.
13 And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision dashing in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, with lightning going forth from the fire.
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 creatures went and returned like flashes of lightning.
Bikelamu yango ezalaki kokende mpe kozonga lokola mikalikali.
15 And as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared above the earth, next to the living creatures, one wheel having four faces.
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 And the appearance of the wheels and their work was like the appearance of the sea. And each of the four were similar to one another. And their appearance and work was like a wheel in the center of 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 Going forth, they went by means of their four parts. And they did not turn as they went.
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 Also, the size and height and appearance of the wheels was dreadful. And the entire body was full of eyes all around each of the four.
Bajante ya bapine na yango ezalaki minene mpe somo: nyonso minei ezalaki etonda na miso zingazinga na yango.
19 And when the living creatures advanced, the wheels advanced together with them. And when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up at the same time.
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 went, as the spirit was going forth to that place, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life 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 going forth, they went forth, and when standing still, they stood still. And when they were lifted up from the earth, the wheels, too, were lifted up together, so as to follow them. For the spirit of life 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 above the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of a firmament: similar to crystal, but dreadful to behold, and extending over their heads from above.
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 And their wings were straight under the firmament, one toward the other. One of them was covered by two wings on his body, and the other was covered similarly.
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 I heard the sound of their wings, like the sound of many waters, like the sound of the sublime God. When they walked, it was like the sound of a multitude, like the sound of an army. And when they stood still, their wings were let down.
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 For when a voice came from above the firmament, which was over their heads, they stood still, and they put 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 above the firmament, which was suspended over their heads, there was the likeness of a throne, with the appearance of the sapphire stone. And over the likeness of the throne, there was a likeness with the appearance of a man above it.
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 something with the appearance of amber, with the likeness of fire within it and all around it. And from his waist and upward, and from his waist downward, I saw something with the appearance of fire shining all around.
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 There was the appearance of the rainbow, as when it is in a cloud on a rainy day. This was the appearance of the splendor on every side.
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.
