Ezekiel 15
1 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 Son of man, what shall be made of the wood of the vine, out of all the trees of the woods that are among the trees of the forests?
« Mwana na moto, nzete ya vino eleki banzete mosusu na nini? Bitape na yango eleki bitape ya banzete mosusu ya zamba na nini?
3 Shall wood be taken of if, to do any work, or shall a pin be made of it for any vessel to hang thereon?
Bakoki solo kobimisa libaya na nzete ya vino mpe kosalela yango eloko ya tina penza? Bakoki solo kosalela yango bisimbelo ya kotiela biloko likolo?
4 Behold it is cast into the fire for fuel: the fire hath consumed both ends thereof, and the midst thereof is reduced to ashes: shall it be useful for any work?
Sima na kobwaka yango na moto, moto ezikisaka basonge mpe kati na yango; boye ndenge nini bakoki kosalela yango penza eloko ya malonga?
5 Even when it was whole it was not fit for work: how much less, when the fire hath devoured and consumed it, shall any work be made of it?
Soki kutu bakoki kosalela yango eloko ya malonga te tango ezali nanu mobimba, bongo ndenge nini bakoki kosalela yango eloko ya malonga tango moto esili kozikisa mpe kotumba yango?
6 Therefore thus saith the Lord God: As the vine tree among the trees of the forests which I have given to the fire to be consumed, so will I deliver up the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Ndenge nabwakaka na moto nzete ya vino kati na banzete mosusu ya zamba, ndenge wana mpe nakosala bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
7 And I will set my face against them: they shall go out from fire, and fire shall consume them: and you shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have set my face against them.
Nakotelemela bango penza; ezala babimi na moto, moto mosusu ekotumba bango. Na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe tango nakopesa bango etumbu:
8 And I shall have made their land a wilderness, and desolate, because they have been transgressors, saith the Lord God.
Nakosala ete mokili na bango etikala lisusu na bato te mpo ete batambolaki na boyengebene te, basalaki makambo ya nkele elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
