Ezekiel 21
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and pour in drops toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the soil of Israel.
« Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi, loba mpo na kotelemela bisika ya bule mpe sakola mpo na kotelemela Isalaele.
3 And you shall say to the land of Israel: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, and I will cast my sword from its sheath, and I will slay the just and the impious among you.
Loba na mokili ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Natombokeli yo, nakobimisa mopanga na Ngai na ebombelo na yango mpe nakoboma bato, kati na mokili na yo, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe.
4 But in as much as I have slain among you the just and the impious, for this reason my sword will go forth from its sheath against all flesh, from the south even to the north.
Mpo ete nakoboma bato ya sembo mpe ya mabe, mopanga na Ngai ekobima na ebombelo na yango mpo na koboma moto nyonso, wuta na sude kino na nor.
5 So may all flesh know that I, the Lord, have led my sword out of its sheath irrevocably.
Boye, bato nyonso bakososola ete Ngai Yawe nde nabimisi mopanga na Ngai wuta na ebombelo na yango, mpe ekozonga lisusu te. ›
6 And as for you, son of man, groan in the breaking of your back, and groan in bitterness before them.
Yango wana, mwana na moto, lela! Kende kolela liboso na bango, na motema oyo ebukani mpe ya mawa.
7 And when they will say to you, ‘Why are you groaning?’ you shall say: ‘On behalf of the report, for it is approaching. And every heart will waste away, and every hand will be broken, and every spirit will be weakened, and water will flow across every knee.’ Behold, it is approaching and it will happen, says the Lord God.”
Soki batuni yo: ‹ Mpo na nini ozali kolela? › Okozongisela bango: ‹ Ezali mpo na sango oyo ezali koya. › Mitema mpe maboko nyonso ekolemba lokola mayi, bato nyonso bakomitungisa mpe mabolongo nyonso ekolenga. Sango yango ezali koya; solo ekosalema, elobi Nkolo Yawe! »
8 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
9 “Son of man, prophesy, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Speak: The sword! The sword has been sharpened and polished!
« Mwana na moto, sakola. Loba: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Mopanga, mopanga! Bangalisi mpe bapelisi yango!
10 It has been sharpened, so that it may cut down victims! It has been polished, so that it may shine! You are disturbing the scepter of my son. You have cut down every tree.
Bapelisi yango mpo na koboma, bangalisi yango mpo na kobimisa mikalikali! Boni, tosepela kaka na lingenda ya bokonzi ya mwana na ngai ya mobali? Mopanga ya mwana na ngai esambwisaka banzete nyonso.
11 And I have sent it to be made smooth, so that it may be handled. This sword has been sharpened, and it has been polished, so that it may be in the hand of the one who kills.
Mopanga epesami mpo ete bangalisa yango, mpo ete basimba yango na loboko; bangalisi yango mpe bapelisi yango mpo ete mobomi asalela yango.
12 Cry out and wail, O son of man! For this has been done among my people, this is among all the leaders of Israel, who have fled. They have been handed over to the sword, with my people. Therefore, slap your thigh,
Mwana na moto, ganga mpe lela makasi! Pamba te mopanga ebimi mpo na koboma bato na ngai, mpo na koboma bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele; babongisami mpo na kokufa na mopanga elongo na bato na ngai. Yango wana, beta tolo na yo!
13 for it has been tested. And this one, when he will have overthrown the scepter, will not be, says the Lord God.
Komekama ekoya penza; mpe likambo nini ekosalema soki lingenda ya bokonzi, oyo mopanga esili kotiola, etikali lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe? ›
14 You therefore, O son of man, prophesy, and strike hand against hand, and let the sword be doubled, and let the sword of the slain be tripled. This is the sword of the great slaughter, which causes them to be utterly stupefied,
Boye mwana na moto, sakola mpe beta maboko na yo! Tika ete mopanga eboma mbala mibale to mbala misato! Ezali mopanga oyo ebomaka; ezali solo mopanga oyo ebomaka mingi, mopanga oyo ezingeli bango bisika nyonso.
15 and to waste away in heart, and which multiplies ruin. At all their gates, I have presented the consternation of the sword, which has been sharpened and polished so as to shine, which has been dressed for the slaughter.
Mpo ete mitema na bango ekoka kolenga mpe bakufi bazala ebele, nasili kotia mopanga oyo ebomaka na bikuke nyonso ya bingumba na bango. Tala, bangalisi yango mpo ete epela lokola mikalikali; basimbi yango mpo na koboma!
16 Be sharpened! Go to the right or to the left, whichever way is the desire of your face.
Oh mopanga, beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi; beta na esika nyonso oyo minu na yo etali!
17 And then I will clap hand against hand, and I will fulfill my indignation. I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Ngai mpe, nakobeta maboko na Ngai; mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi ekokita. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. »
18 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
19 “And as for you, son of man, set for yourself two ways, so that the sword of the king of Babylon may approach. Both shall go forth from one land. And with a hand, he will grasp and cast lots; he will cast at the head of the way of the community.
« Mwana na moto, sala banzela mibale oyo mopanga ya mokonzi ya Babiloni ekoki kolekela; banzela nyonso mibale ebimela na mokili moko. Na ekotelo ya nzela moko na moko, tia elembo oyo ekolakisa nzela ya engumba.
20 You shall appoint a way, so that the sword may approach to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, or to Judah, into Jerusalem, greatly fortified.
Sala nzela moko mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Raba, engumba ya bato ya Amoni, mpe nzela mosusu mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Yelusalemi, engumba batonga makasi, kati na Yuda.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the fork, at the head of the two ways, seeking divination, shuffling arrows; he inquired of idols, and he consulted entrails.
Pamba te mokonzi ya Babiloni akotelema na esika oyo banzela mibale ekutana mpo na kosala makambo ya soloka, akobeta zeke na koningisa makonga ya mike, akotuna banzambe na ye ya bikeko mpe akotala mabale ya banyama.
22 To his right was set the divination over Jerusalem, to place battering rams so as to open a mouth for the slaughter, to lift up the voice of wailing, to place battering rams opposite the gates, to cast up a rampart, to build fortifications.
Zeke oyo ekotalisa Yelusalemi ezali kati na loboko na ye ya mobali: kuna na Yelusalemi, akopesa mitindo ya koboma, akobeta mololo ya bitumba, akotia bashar ya bitumba liboso ya bikuke ya engumba, akotonga bamir ya zelo mpe akotimola mabulu ya kobombamela.
23 And he shall be, in their eyes, like someone consulting an oracle in vain, or imitating the leisure of Sabbaths. But he will call to mind iniquities, so that it will be captured.
Kasi lokola basilaki kolapa ndayi ete bakotosa ye, bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomona yango lokola bimoniseli ya pamba mpe ya lokuta. Kasi mokonzi ya Babiloni akosala ete bakanisa lisusu mabe na bango, mpe akomema bango na bowumbu.
24 Therefore, thus says the Lord God: Because you have been remembered in your iniquities, and you have revealed your betrayals, and your sins have appeared within all your plans, because, I say, you have been remembered, you will be captured by a hand.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola mabe na bino ezongeli bino na makanisi, lokola bolakisi Ngai na polele botomboki na bino mpe bomonisi masumu na bino kati na misala na bino nyonso; lokola bosali bongo, bokokende na bowumbu.
25 But as for you, O impious leader of Israel, whose day has arrived that was predetermined at the time of iniquity:
Yo mokambi ya Isalaele, moto ya mbindo mpe moto mabe, mikolo ezali koya, tango na yo ya etumbu, mpo na kosukisa mabe na yo!
26 Thus says the Lord God: Take away the diadem, remove the crown. Is this not what has exalted the lowly one, and brought low the sublime one?
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Longola ye eteni ya elamba ya moto, longola ye motole! Makambo ekobongwana, ekozala lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso! Bato oyo bakitisama bakotombwama, mpe ba-oyo batombwama bakokitisama.
27 Iniquity, iniquity, iniquity I will make it. And this was not done until the one arrived to whom judgment belongs, and I will hand it over to him.
Libebi! Libebi! Nakokomisa yango libebi. Ekotikala kobonga lisusu te kino tango moto oyo akopesa etumbu, oyo nakopesa ye makoki mpo na yango, akoya. ›
28 And as for you, son of man, prophesy, and say: Thus says the Lord God to the sons of Ammon, and to their disgrace, and you shall say: O sword, O sword, unsheathe yourself so as to slay; polish yourself so as to kill and to shine,
Mpe yo, mwana na moto, sakola mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na tina na bato ya Amoni mpe mafinga na bango: Mopanga, babimisi mopanga mpo na koboma, bapelisi yango mpo na koboma mpe mpo na kongenga lokola mikalikali!
29 while they look upon you in vain, and they divine lies, so that you may be given over to the necks of the wounded impious, whose day has arrived that was predetermined at the time of iniquity.
Atako bapesaki yo bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta, mopanga ekokata bakingo ya bato ya mbindo oyo mokolo ya suka mpo na mabe na bango esili kokoka.
30 Be returned to your sheath! I will judge you in the place where you were created, in the land of your nativity.
Zongisa mopanga na ebombelo na yango. Nakosambisa yo na esika oyo okelamaki, na mokili ya bakoko na yo.
31 And I will pour out upon you my indignation. In the fire of my fury, I will fan you, and I will give you over to the hands of cruel men, who have devised destruction.
Nakokitisela yo kanda na Ngai ya makasi mpe nakofula yo moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakokaba yo na maboko ya bato ya mobulu oyo babebisaka.
32 You will be food for the fire; your blood will be in the midst of the land; you will be delivered to oblivion. For I, the Lord, have spoken.”
Okozika na moto, makila na yo ekopanzana kaka na mokili na yo mpe bakokanisa yo lisusu te; pamba te Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. › »
