Ezekiel 4
1 And thou, son of man, take thee a brick, and lay it before thee, and portray upon it a city, — Jerusalem:
« Sik’oyo mwana na moto, kamata biliki ya kotumba, tia yango liboso na yo mpe koma na likolo na yango elilingi ya engumba Yelusalemi.
2 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast a mound against it, and set camps against it, and place battering-rams against it round about.
Sala yango lokola engumba oyo bazingela, oyo batonga mabulu ya kobombamela zingazinga na yango mpe oyo batelemisa bamir ya zelo mpo na kobombama, engumba oyo batonga milako zingazinga na yango, mpe telemisa bakonzi ya basoda oyo babongami mpo na kobundisa yango na zingazinga.
3 And take thou unto thee an iron plate, and put it [for] a wall of iron between thee and the city; and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it: this shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Kamata eteni ya linzanza, tia yango lokola mir ya ebende na kati-kati na yo mpe elilingi ya engumba oyo osili kokoma, mpe tika ete miso na yo etala yango. Bakozingela engumba yango ndenge kaka yo osili kozingela yango. Yango nde ekozala elembo mpo na libota ya Isalaele.
4 And thou, lie upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: the number of the days that thou liest upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity.
Bongo yo, lala na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mwasi, tia na ngambo wana masumu ya libota ya Isalaele. Okomema masumu na bango mikolo nyonso oyo okolala na ngambo wana.
5 And I have appointed thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days; and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ngai moko nakokatela yo motango ya mikolo, oyo ekokokana na motango ya mibu oyo libota ya Isalaele asali masumu: mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa; mpe okomema solo masumu ya libota ya Isalaele na mikolo oyo.
6 And when thou hast accomplished them, thou shalt lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
Sima na yo kosilisa mikolo yango, lala lisusu na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali mpe mema lisusu masumu ya libota ya Yuda. Nakateli yo mikolo tuku minei: mokolo moko mpo na mobu moko na moko.
7 And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Talisa elongi mpe loboko na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi oyo bazingela mpe sakola mabe na tina na yango.
8 And behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thyself from one side to the other, till thou hast ended the days of thy siege.
Nakolinga-linga yo na basinga mpo ete okoka kobaluka na ngambo mosusu te kino tango okokokisa mikolo na yo ya etumbu.
9 And thou, take unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, [according to] the number of the days that thou liest upon thy side: three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
Kamata ble mpe orje, madesu mpe misili, soya mpe masango, tia yango nyonso kati na mbeki moko kaka oyo babombelaka biloko. Ezali yango nde ekozala bilei oyo okobanda kolia tango nyonso, na mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa oyo okowumela ya kolala na ngambo moko.
10 And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Bilei na yo ya mokolo na mokolo ekozala ya bagrame nkama mibale na tuku mibale, mpe okobanda kolia yango tango nyonso.
11 And thou shalt drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
Okobanda komela tango nyonso litele moko ya mayi.
12 And thou shalt eat it [as] barley-cake, and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dung that cometh out of man.
Okolia bilei basala lokola gato ya orje mpe okobanda kotumba yango na miso ya bato nyonso, na moto oyo bapelisa na nyei ya bato. »
13 And Jehovah said, So shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean among the nations whither I will drive them.
Yawe alobaki: — Ezali na nzela wana nde bana ya Isalaele bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na bikolo epai wapi nakobengana bango.
14 Then said I, Ah, Lord Jehovah! behold, my soul hath not been defiled, and from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or of that which is torn; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth.
Bongo nalobaki: — Te, Nkolo Yawe! Natikala nanu komikomisa mbindo te! Wuta bolenge na ngai, natikala nanu kolia te nyama oyo ekufa yango moko to nyama oyo nyama ya zamba esila koboma! Te, monoko na ngai etikala nanu kolia mosuni ya mbindo te!
15 And he said unto me, See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
Alobaki na ngai: — Malamu mingi! Na esika ya nyei ya bato, napesi yo nyei ya ngombe mpo ete okoka kotumbela gato na yo.
16 And he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I break the staff of bread in Jerusalem; and they shall eat bread by weight, and with anxiety; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: — Mwana na moto, nakobebisa bilei nyonso oyo ezali na bibombelo ya Yelusalemi. Bato bakolia biteni mike ya mapa, na pasi na motema, mpe bakomela mayi na bakopo ya mike, na somo;
17 because bread and water shall fail them, and they shall be astonied one with another, and waste away in their iniquity.
pamba te bilei mpe mayi ya komela ekokoma pasi mpo na kozwa. Moko na moko akokamwa mpo na moninga na ye mosusu; mpe bakobebisama likolo ya masumu na bango.
