Ezekiel 22
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 “And you, son of man, should you not judge, should you not judge the city of blood?
« Mwana na moto, okosambisa yango solo? Okosambisa solo engumba oyo esopaka makila? Lakisa yango misala na yango nyonso ya mbindo
3 And you shall reveal to her all her abominations. And you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: This is the city which sheds blood in her midst, so that her time may come, and which has made idols against herself, so that she may be defiled.
mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh engumba oyo emibendelaka bololo na nzela ya kosopa makila na kati-kati na yango mpe emikomisaka mbindo na nzela ya komisalela bikeko,
4 You have offended by your blood, which you shed from yourself. And you have been defiled by your idols which you yourself made. And you have caused your days to approach, and you have brought on the time of your years. Because of this, I have made you a disgrace to the Gentiles, and a derision to all the lands.
ozali na ngambo mpo na makila oyo osopaki mpe okomi mbindo mpo na bikeko oyo osalaki! Okomisi bomoi na yo mokuse mpe okomi na suka ya mibu ya bomoi na yo! Yango wana, nakokomisa yo eloko ya kotiola liboso ya bikolo mpe eloko ya maseki liboso ya mikili nyonso.
5 Those that are near and those that are far from you will triumph over you. You are filthy, infamous, great in destruction.
Yo, engumba ya mbindo, etonda na mobulu, bato oyo bazali pene mpe ba-oyo bazali mosika bakoseka yo!
6 Behold, the leaders of Israel have each used his arm to shed blood within you.
Tala ndenge bakambi ya Isalaele basalelaka bokonzi na bango mpo na kosopa makila.
7 They have abused father and mother within you. The new arrival has been oppressed in your midst. They have grieved the orphan and the widow among you.
Kati na mboka na yo, batiolaka batata mpe bamama, banyokolaka mopaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali.
8 You have spurned my sanctuaries, and you have defiled my Sabbaths.
Otiolaka biloko na Ngai ya bule mpe obebisaka bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
9 Maligning men were within you, in order to shed blood, and they have eaten upon the mountains within you. They have worked wickedness in your midst.
Na mboka na yo, bakoselaka bato makambo mpo na kobomisa bango. Na mboka na yo, baliaka biloko na bisika ya bule oyo ezalaka na likolo ya bangomba mpe basalaka makambo ya nkele.
10 They have uncovered the nakedness of their father within you. They have debased the uncleanness of the menstruous woman within you.
Na mboka na yo, mibali basangisaka nzoto na basi ya batata na bango mpe bazwaka na makasi basi oyo bazali komona sanza na bango, na tango oyo bazali mbindo.
11 And each one has committed abomination with the wife of his neighbor. And the father-in-law has heinously defiled his daughter-in-law. The brother has oppressed his sister, the daughter of his father, within you.
Na mboka na yo, moko na moko azali kosala makambo ya mbindo elongo na mwasi ya moninga na ye, mosusu azali kokomisa mwasi ya mwana na ye mbindo, mpe mosusu lisusu azali kosangisa nzoto na makasi na ndeko na ye ya mwasi, mwana mwasi ya tata na ye.
12 They have accepted bribes among you to shed blood. You have received usury and superabundance, and in avarice you have oppressed your neighbors. And you have forgotten me, says the Lord God.
Na mboka na yo, bato bazwaka kanyaka mpo na kosopa makila, badefisaka mpo na kozwa mileki mpe litomba oyo eleka ndelo, banyokolaka baninga mpo na kokoma na bomengo mpe bobosani Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
13 Behold, I have clapped my hands over your avarice, which you have worked, and over the blood that has been shed in your midst.
Solo, nakobeta maboko na Ngai mpo na litomba oyo bozwaki na nzela ya mabe mpe mpo na makila oyo botangisaki kati na bino.
14 How can your heart endure, or your hands prevail, in the days that I will bring upon you? I, the Lord, have spoken, and I will act.
Boni, bokoyika kaka mpiko to maboko na bino ekozala kaka makasi na mokolo oyo nakokitisela bino kanda na Ngai? Ngai Yawe, nalobaki mpe nakokokisa yango.
15 And I will disperse you among the nations, and I will scatter you among the lands, and I will cause your uncleanness to fade away from you.
Nakopanza bino kati na bikolo, nakopalanganisa bino bipai na bipai kati na mokili mpe nakosukisa mbindo na bino.
16 And I will possess you in the sight of the Gentiles. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Omikomisaki mbindo na miso ya bikolo, kasi okoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
17 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
18 “Son of man, the house of Israel has become like dross to me. All these are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace; they have become like the dross of silver.
« Mwana na moto, libota ya Isalaele ekomi lokola fulu na miso na Ngai; bango nyonso bakomi lokola ebende ya motane, ebende ya langi ya etabe oyo etela, ebende mpe mbodi oyo babwaka na etumbelo ya bibende. Solo, bakomi kaka lokola bosoto ya palata.
19 Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Since you have all turned into dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you together in the midst of Jerusalem,
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola bino nyonso bokomi kaka lokola bosoto, nakosangisa bino na Yelusalemi.
20 just as they gather silver, and brass, and tin, and iron, and lead in the midst of the furnace, so that I may kindle in it a fire to melt it. So will I gather you together in my fury and in my wrath, and I will be quieted, and I will melt you down.
Ndenge bato basangisaka palata, ebende ya motane, ebende ya langi ya etabe oyo etela, mbodi mpe ebende kati na etumbelo ya bibende mpo na kolamba yango, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nakosangisa bino na kanda mpe na kotomboka na Ngai, mpe nakobwaka bino kati na engumba mpo na kozikisa bino.
21 And I will gather you together, and I will burn you in the fire of my fury, and you will be melted in its midst.
Nakosangisa bino mpe nakofula bino mopepe ya moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakozikisa bino kati na Yelusalemi.
22 Just as silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so will you be in its midst. And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have poured out my indignation upon you.”
Ndenge bazikisaka palata kati na etumbelo ya bibende, ndenge wana mpe nakozikisa bino kati na engumba. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe, nasopeli bino kanda na Ngai ya makasi. › »
23 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu:
24 “Son of man, say to her: You are a land unclean and not rained upon, in the day of fury.
« Mwana na moto, loba na Yelusalemi: ‹ Ozali mabele oyo epetolamaki te mpe enokelaki mvula te na mokolo ya kanda na Ngai ya makasi. ›
25 There is a conspiracy of prophets in her midst. Like a lion, roaring and seizing the prey, they have devoured souls. They have taken riches and a price. They have multiplied widows in her midst.
Basakoli na yo bazali kosala likita; lokola nkosi oyo ezali koganga tango ezali kopasola nyama na yango, bazali koboma bato, kobotola bomengo mpe biloko ya motuya ya bato mpe kokomisa ebele kati na yango, basi bakufisa mibali.
26 Her priests have despised my law, and they have defiled my sanctuaries. They have held no distinction between holy and profane. And they have not understood the difference between defiled and clean. And they have averted their eyes from my Sabbaths. And I was profaned in their midst.
Banganga-Nzambe na yango bazali kobuka mobeko na Ngai mpe bazali kobebisa bosantu ya biloko na Ngai ya bule, bazali kosala bokeseni te kati na biloko ya bule mpe biloko mosusu, bazali kosunga bato te ete bayeba kosala bokeseni kati na makambo oyo ezali mbindo mpe oyo ya peto; bakangeli Basaba na Ngai miso, boye babulisi Ngai te kati na bango.
27 Her leaders in her midst are like wolves seizing the prey: to shed blood, and to perish souls, and to continually pursue profit with avarice.
Bakalaka kati na yango bazali lokola mbwa ya zamba oyo ezali kopasola nyama na yango, bazali kosopa makila mpe koboma bato mpo na kozwa bomengo na nzela ya mabe.
28 And her prophets have covered them without tempering the mortar, seeing emptiness, and divining lies for them, saying, ‘Thus says the Lord God,’ when the Lord has not spoken.
Basakoli na yango bazali kopakola misala na bango ya mabe potopoto ya pembe na nzela ya bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta; bazali koloba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi, › na tango Yawe alobi na Ye eloko moko te.
29 The people of the land have oppressed with slander and have seized with violence. They have afflicted the needy and the poor, and they have oppressed the new arrival by accusations without judgment.
Bato ya mokili bazali koyiba mpe kobotola bato biloko na makasi, bazali konyokola mobola mpe moto oyo akelela, bazali komonisa mopaya pasi na nzela ya kopimela ye bosembo.
30 And I sought among them for a man who might set up a hedge, and stand in the gap before me on behalf of the land, so that I might not destroy it; and I found no one.
Nalukaki ata moto moko kati na bango, oyo akokaki kotonga mir mpe kotelema liboso na Ngai, na lidusu ya mir mpo na bolamu ya mokili mpo ete nakoka kobebisa yango te, kasi namonaki ata moto moko te.
31 And so I poured out my indignation upon them; in the fire of my wrath I consumed them. I have rendered their own way upon their head, says the Lord God.”
Yango wana, nakosopela bango kanda na Ngai ya makasi mpe natumba bango na moto ya kanda na Ngai, nakopesa bango etumbu kolanda etamboli na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
