Ezekiel 37
1 The hand of the Lord was set upon me, and he led me away in the Spirit of the Lord, and he released me in the midst of a plain which was full of bones.
Loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai; bongo Yawe abimisaki ngai na nzela ya Molimo na Ye mpe amemaki ngai kino na kati-kati ya lubwaku moko etonda na mikuwa.
2 And he led me around, through them, on every side. Now they were very many upon the face of the plain, and they were exceedingly dry.
Atambolisaki ngai na bangambo nyonso kati na mikuwa yango: namonaki ete ezali ebele penza mpe ekawuka, kati na lubwaku yango.
3 And he said to me, “Son of man, do you think that these bones will live?” And I said, “O Lord God, you know.”
Atunaki ngai: — Mwana na moto, mikuwa oyo ekoki lisusu kozala na bomoi? Nazongisaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, Yo kaka nde oyebi!
4 And he said to me, “Prophesy about these bones. And you shall say to them: Dry bones, listen to the word of the Lord!
Bongo alobaki na ngai: — Sakola epai ya mikuwa oyo mpe yebisa yango: « Eh bino mikuwa ekawuka, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
5 Thus says the Lord God to these bones: Behold, I will send spirit into you, and you shall live.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakotia pema kati na bino mpe bokozwa lisusu bomoi.
6 And I will set sinews upon you, and I will cause flesh to grow over you, and I will extend skin over you. And I will give you spirit, and you shall live. And you shall know that I am the Lord.”
Nakotia bino misisa mpe misuni, nakolatisa bino poso ya nzoto mpe nakotia pema kati na bino. Boye bokozwa lisusu bomoi, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »
7 And I prophesied, just as he had instructed me. But a noise occurred, as I was prophesying, and behold: a commotion. And the bones joined together, each one at its joint.
Boye, nasakolaki ndenge kaka atindaki ngai. Bongo wana nazalaki nanu kosakola, makelele moko ya makasi eyokanaki; mpe, mbala moko, mikuwa yango ekomaki koningana mpe kosangana moko na moko na mosusu.
8 And I saw, and behold: sinews and flesh rose up over them; and skin was extended over them. But they had no spirit within them.
Wana nazalaki kotala, namonaki misisa mpe misuni kobima na mikuwa yango mpe poso ya nzoto kozipa yango, kasi ezalaki na pema te.
9 And he said to me: “Prophesy to the spirit! Prophesy, O son of man, and you shall say to the spirit: Thus says the Lord God: Approach, O spirit, from the four winds, and blow across these ones who were slain, and revive them.”
Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Mwana na moto, sakola epai ya pema, sakola mpe loba na pema: « Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh pema, yaka wuta na bisika nyonso mopepe ebimelaka mpe kota kati na banzoto oyo mpo ete ezwa lisusu bomoi! »
10 And I prophesied, just as he had instructed me. And spirit entered into them, and they lived. And they stood upon their feet, an exceedingly great army.
Nasakolaki ndenge kaka atindaki ngai; bongo pema ekotaki kati na yango mpe ezwaki lisusu bomoi. Batelemaki mpe bazalaki mampinga moko ya monene.
11 And he said to me: “Son of man: All these bones are the house of Israel. They say: ‘Our bones are dried out, and our hope has perished, and we have been cut off.’
Alobaki na ngai: — Mwana na moto, mikuwa oyo ezali libota mobimba ya Isalaele! Bazali koloba: « Mikuwa na biso ekawuki, elikya na biso esili, bomoi na biso ebebi! »
12 Because of this, prophesy, and you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will open your tombs, and I will lead you away from your sepulchers, O my people. And I will lead you into the land of Israel.
Yango wana, sakola mpe loba na bango: « Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh bato na Ngai, nakofungola bakunda na bino mpe nakobimisa bino kuna, bongo nakozongisa bino na mabele ya Isalaele.
13 And you shall know that I am the Lord, when I will have opened your sepulchers, and when I will have led you away from your tombs, O my people.
Mpe bino, bato na Ngai, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakofungola bakunda na bino mpe nakobimisa bino kuna!
14 And I will place my Spirit within you, and you shall live. And I will cause you to rest upon your own soil. And you shall know that I, the Lord, have spoken and acted, says the Lord God.”
Nakotia Molimo na Ngai kati na bino, mpe bokozwa lisusu bomoi; bongo nakovandisa bino na mabele na bino. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe nde nalobaki mpe nakokisaki yango, elobi Yawe. »
15 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
16 “And as for you, son of man, take up a piece of wood for yourself, and write upon it: ‘For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions.’ And take up another piece of wood, and write upon it: ‘For Joseph, the wood of Ephraim, and for the entire house of Israel, and for his companions.’
« Mwana na moto, kamata eteni ya libaya mpe koma na likolo na yango: ‹ Mpo na Yuda mpe mpo na bana ya Isalaele oyo basangani na ye. › Kamata eteni mosusu ya libaya mpe koma na likolo na yango: ‹ Mpo na Jozefi, nzete ya Efrayimi, mpe mpo na libota mobimba ya Isalaele oyo esangani na ye. ›
17 And join these, one to the other, for yourself, as one piece of wood. And they will be united in your hand.
Kangisa yango mpe komisa yango libaya moko mpo ete ezala eloko moko kati na loboko na yo.
18 Then, when the sons of your people will speak to you, saying: ‘Will you not tell us what you intend by this?’
Soki bandeko na yo batuni yo: ‹ Olingi koloba na biso nini? Makambo oyo elingi kolakisa nini? ›
19 you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the wood of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and the tribes of Israel, which are joined to him, and I will put them together with the wood of Judah, and I will make them one piece of wood. And they will be one in his hand.
Okozongisela bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakozwa libaya ya Jozefi, oyo ezali kati na loboko ya Efrayimi, mpe bato ya mabota ya Isalaele oyo basangani na ye; nakokangisa yango na libaya ya Yuda. Nakokomisa yango nzete moko mpe ekokoma eloko moko kati na loboko na Ngai. ›
20 Then the pieces of wood, on which you have written, will be in your hand, before their eyes.
Okosimba kati na loboko na yo, na miso na bango, mabaya oyo okomaki;
21 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will take up the sons of Israel, from the midst of the nations to which they have gone, and I will gather them together on every side, and I will lead them onto their own soil.
mpe okoloba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakobimisa bana ya Isalaele wuta na bikolo ya zingazinga epai wapi bakendeki mpe nakozongisa bango na mabele na bango.
22 And I will make them one nation in the land, on the mountains of Israel, and one king will be ruler over all. And they will no longer be two nations, nor will they be divided any more into two kingdoms.
Nakokomisa bango ekolo kaka moko kati na mokili, na likolo ya bangomba ya Isalaele. Ekozala kaka na mokonzi moko oyo akokonza bango; mpe bakozala lisusu bikolo mibale te to bakokabwana lisusu na bokonzi mibale te.
23 And they will no longer be defiled by their idols, and by their abominations, and by all their iniquities. And I will save them, out of all the settlements in which they have sinned, and I will cleanse them. And they will be my people, and I will be their God.
Bakomikomisa lisusu mbindo te na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe ya bililingi na bango ya mabe to na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe; pamba te nakobikisa bango wuta na bisika oyo bazalaki kovanda epai wapi basalaki masumu mpe nakopetola bango; bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango.
24 And my servant David shall be the king over them, and they shall have one shepherd. They shall walk in my judgments, and they shall keep my commandments, and they shall do them.
Mosali na Ngai, Davidi, akozala mokonzi na bango, mpe bango nyonso bakozala na mobateli bibwele kaka moko, bakotosa mibeko na Ngai mpe bakobatela na bokebi mitindo na Ngai.
25 And they shall live upon the land that I gave to my servant Jacob, in which your fathers lived. And they shall live upon it, they and their sons, and the sons of their sons, even for all time. And David, my servant, shall be their leader, in perpetuity.
Bakovanda lisusu na mokili oyo napesaki na Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, mokili oyo batata na bino bavandaki: bango, bana na bango ya mibali mpe bakitani na bango ya mibali bakovanda kuna mpo na libela; mpe mosali na Ngai, Davidi, akozala mokambi na bango mpo na libela.
26 And I will strike a covenant of peace with them. This will be an everlasting covenant for them. And I will establish them, and multiply them. And I will set my sanctuary in their midst, unceasingly.
Nakosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na bango: ekozala boyokani ya libela na libela. Nakolendisa bango, nakokomisa bango ebele koleka mpe nakotia Esika na Ngai ya bule kati na bango mpo na libela.
27 And my tabernacle shall be among them. And I will be their God, and they will be my people.
Nakotia ndako na Ngai kati na bango; nakozala Nzambe na bango, mpe bango, bakozala bato na Ngai.
28 And the Gentiles shall know that I am the Lord, the Sanctifier of Israel, when my sanctuary will be in their midst, forever.”
Bongo bato ya bikolo mosusu bakoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe nde nakomisi Isalaele bule tango nakotia Esika na Ngai ya bule kati na bango mpo na libela. › »
