Ezekiel 14
1 Some elders of Israel arrived and sat down with me.
Kati na bakambi ya Isalaele, ndambo bayaki epai na ngai mpe bavandaki liboso na ngai.
2 A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
3 “Son of man, these men are worshiping idols in their minds even though they know this will lead them to sin. Why should I respond to their requests?
« Mwana na moto, bato oyo bazali kotia mitema epai ya banzambe ya bikeko. Bongo lokola bazali kotia banzambe ya bikeko liboso na bango, ekobetisa bango mabaku oyo ekokweyisa bango na masumu. Boni, natikela bango lisusu nzela ya kotuna Ngai toli?
4 So tell them that this is what the Lord God says: When the people of Israel worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin, and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will give them an answer appropriate to their many idols.
Mpo na yango, loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Soki moto ya Isalaele atie motema epai ya banzambe ya bikeko oyo ekobetisa ye mabaku mpe ekokweyisa ye na masumu, bongo atie yango liboso na ye mpe akei epai ya mosakoli, Ngai moko Yawe nde nakoyanola ye kolanda motango ya banzambe na ye ya bikeko.
5 Like this I might have the people of Israel decide to recommit themselves to me. Right now, because of their idols, all of them treat me as their enemy.
Nakosala bongo mpo na kozongisa lisusu epai na Ngai, mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo batikaki Ngai mpo na kolanda banzambe ya bikeko. ›
6 So tell the people of Israel that this is what the Lord God says: Repent! Give up worshiping your idols Stop all your disgusting practices.
Yango wana, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Bobongola mitema! Bopesa banzambe na bino ya bikeko mikongo mpe botika misala na bino ya mbindo!
7 When the people of Israel or foreigners living with them worship idols in their minds that will lead them to sin and then come to consult the prophet, I the Lord will answer them myself.
Soki moto moko ya Isalaele to mopaya nyonso oyo avandi kati na Isalaele akabwani na Ngai, atie motema na ye na banzambe ya bikeko mpe atie liboso na ye banzambe yango ya bikeko oyo ekobetisa ye mabaku mpe ekokweyisa ye na masumu, bongo akei epai ya mosakoli mpo na kotuna Ngai toli na nzela na ye, Ngai moko Yawe nde nakoyanola ye.
8 I will oppose anyone who does this and make any example of them that others will talk about. I will remove them from among my people. Then you will know that I am the Lord.
Nakotombokela moto wana, nakokomisa ye elembo mpe lisese epai na bato mpe nakolongola ye na molongo ya bato na Ngai. Na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe.
9 But if the prophet is deceived into giving a message, it was I the Lord who deceived him to do this. I will still reach out and destroy that prophet from my people Israel.
Soki mosakoli moko akosami mpe asakoli makambo, ezali Ngai moko Yawe nde napengwisi ye. Boye, nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kopesa ye etumbu, mpe nakobeta ye kati na bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
10 They will be responsible for the punishment they receive, as will those who believe in these prophets will receive the same punishment.
Bango mibale, mosakoli yango mpe moto oyo akei kotuna ye toli, bakomema mikumba ya masumu na bango.
11 This is so that the people of Israel won't abandon me anymore and won't make themselves unclean with all their sins. Then they will be my people and I will be their God, declares the Lord God.”
Na bongo, bato ya Isalaele bakokabwana na Ngai lisusu te mpe bakomikomisa lisusu mbindo te na nzela ya masumu na bango; kasi bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai, nakozala Nzambe na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
12 A message from the Lord came to me again, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
13 “Son of man, if a people in a country sin against me by being unfaithful to me, then I will act against them by cutting off their food supply, so they experience famine, with no food for people or animals.
« Mwana na moto, soki bato ya ekolo moko basali masumu liboso na Ngai mpe batamboli na boyengebene te, bongo Ngai nasemboli loboko na Ngai mpo na kopimela bango bilei mpe kotindela bango nzala makasi mpo ete ezala bato to banyama bakufa,
14 Even if Noah, Daniel, and Job, these three men, were present their good lives would only save themselves, declares the Lord God.
ata soki bato misato oyo, ‹ Noa, Daniele mpe Yobo, › bazalaki kati na bavandi ya ekolo yango, bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika mpo na bosembo na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
15 I could send wild animals rampaging through the country, so they would leave it uninhabited and desolate, a place no one would travel through for fear of such animals.
To soki natindi banyama mabe kati na ekolo yango mpo ete eboma bavandi na yango, mpe mpo ete ekolo yango etikala lisusu na bato te mpe bato balekela lisusu wana te mpo na banyama mabe yango;
16 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves, but the land would be left desolate.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki bato oyo misato bazalaki kuna, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika, kasi ekolo elingaki kotikala lisusu na bato te.
17 I could bring war to that country and say, ‘Have a sword cut through it,’ so that I destroy both people and animals.
To soki natindi mopanga ete eboma bato ya ekolo wana mpe nalobi: ‹ Tika ete mopanga eleka na mokili mobimba! › Soki nabomi bato mpe bibwele na yango;
18 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if these three men were present, they couldn't save their own sons or daughters. They would only save themselves.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki bato oyo misato bazalaki kuna, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika.
19 I could send a disease on that country and because of my anger I would kill many, both people and animals.
To soki natindi kati na mokili yango bokono oyo ebomaka mpe nasopeli yango kanda na Ngai mpo na kosopa makila, koboma bato mpe bibwele ya mokili yango;
20 As I live, declares the Lord God, even if Noah, Daniel, and Job were present, they couldn't save their sons or daughters. Their good lives would only save themselves.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki Noa, Daniele mpe Yobo bazalaki kati na bavandi na yango, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa ata mwana moko ya mobali to ya mwasi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika mpo na bosembo na bango.
21 This is what the Lord God says: It will be so much worse when I send my four severe judgments against Jerusalem—war, famine, wild animals, and disease, so that both people and animals are killed!
Kasi tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Atako natindeli Yelusalemi bitumbu na Ngai oyo minei ya somo: mopanga, nzala makasi, banyama mabe mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, mpo na kosilisa koboma bato mpe bibwele na yango,
22 Even so a few of them will survive, some sons and daughters who will be taken captive. They will be brought to you in Babylon, and when you realize what they did and how they acted, you will understand why I had to bring such a disaster down on Jerusalem—everything I did to it.
ekozala na ndambo ya bato oyo bakobika: bana mibali mpe ya basi. Bakoya epai na bino; mpe tango bokomona bizaleli mpe misala na bango, bokobondisama mpo na pasi oyo natindelaki Yelusalemi, mpo na bitumbu nyonso oyo natindelaki yango.
23 Realizing what they did and how they acted will help you to see that I had good reasons to do everything I did to Jerusalem, declares the Lord God.”
Solo, bokobondisama tango bokomona bizaleli mpe misala na bango; pamba te bokososola ete ezali na pamba te nde nasalaki makambo oyo nyonso kati na Yelusalemi, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
