Ezekiel 8
1 On the fifth day of the sixth month of the sixth year, I was sitting in my house with the elders of Judah and the power of the Lord God came over me there.
Na mobu ya motoba, na mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya motoba, wana nazalaki ya kovanda kati na ndako na ngai, mpe bakambi ya Yuda bavandaki liboso na ngai, loboko ya Nkolo Yawe esimbaki ngai kuna.
2 I looked around and saw a being that looked like a man. From what seemed to be his waist downwards, he looked like fire. From what seemed to his waist upwards, he looked like brightly glowing metal.
Tango natalaki, namonaki elilingi moko lokola elongi ya moto. Eteni oyo ezalaki komonana lokola se ya loketo na yango ezalaki lokola moto, mpe lolenge ya eteni oyo ezalaki komonana lokola likolo ya loketo na yango ezalaki kongenga makasi lokola linzanza ya sika.
3 He reached out what seemed to be a hand and picked me up by my hair. The Spirit took me up into the sky, and in the vision God was giving me he carried me to Jerusalem, to the entrance of the north gate of the Temple's inner courtyard, where the offensive idol that made God angry had been placed.
Asembolaki elilingi moko lokola loboko mpe asimbaki ngai na suki ya moto. Molimo atombolaki ngai na kati-kati ya se mpe likolo mpe amemaki ngai, kati na emoniseli ya Nzambe, kino na Yelusalemi, na ekotelo ya Ekuke ya nor ya lopango ya kati ya Tempelo, epai wapi batelemisaki nzambe ya ekeko oyo etumbolaka zuwa.
4 I saw the glory of the God of Israel there, just like I had in the vision I'd seen in the valley.
Nkembo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele ezalaki kuna ndenge kaka namonaki yango na emoniseli kati na lubwaku.
5 “Son of man,” he told me, “now look to the north.” So I looked to the north, and in the entrance to the north of the Altar Gate I saw this idol that angered God.
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala na ngambo ya nor. » Natombolaki miso na ngai mpe namonaki nzambe ya ekeko ya zuwa, na ekotelo ya Ekuke oyo ya nor ya etumbelo.
6 “Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what they are doing? Look at the disgusting sins the people of Israel are committing that are driving me far away from my sanctuary? But you're going to see even more disgusting sins than these!”
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, ozali komona makambo oyo bazali kosala, makambo mabe mpe ya nkele oyo libota ya Isalaele bazali kosala awa, makambo oyo ekokomisa Ngai mosika ya Esika na Ngai ya bule? Kasi okomona lisusu makambo oyo ezali mabe koleka. »
7 He took me to the entrance to the Temple courtyard. As I looked around, I saw a hole in the wall.
Amemaki ngai na ekotelo ya lopango. Tango natalaki, namonaki lidusu moko na mir.
8 “Son of man,” he told me, “pull the wall apart.” So I pulled the wall apart and found a doorway.
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tobola mir. » Tango natobolaki yango, namonaki ekuke moko kuna.
9 He told me, “Go through the wall and see the evil and disgusting things they are doing in here.”
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Kota; okomona makambo mabe mpe ya nkele oyo bazali kosala awa! »
10 So I went through the wall and saw carved images covering the walls, representing all kinds of reptiles and disgusting animals, as well as all the idols worshiped by the people of Israel.
Tango nakotaki, natalaki mpe namonaki ete bakomakoma na bamir bililingi ya miselekete mpe ya banyoka ya lolenge nyonso, ya banyama nyonso ya mbindo mpe ya banzambe nyonso ya bikeko ya libota ya Isalaele.
11 Seventy elders of the house of Israel were standing in front of them, including Jaazaniah son of Shaphan. They all were holding censers, producing a sweet-smelling cloud of incense that rose above them.
Bongo, liboso na yango, bakambi tuku sambo ya libota ya Isalaele batelemaki; mpe moko na moko kati na bango asimbaki mbabola oyo batumbelaka malasi: ezalaki kobimisa milinga ya solo ya ansa. Yazania, mwana mobali ya Shafani, azalaki mpe elongo na bango.
12 “Son of man,” he said to me, “can you see what the elders of the people of Israel are doing here in the dark, with each one worshiping in the shrine room of his own idol? This is what they're saying: ‘The Lord can't see what we're doing; besides the Lord has abandoned our country!’”
Molimo alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, omoni makambo oyo bakambi ya libota ya Isalaele bazali kosala, moko na moko kati na esika ya bule ya nzambe na ye ya ekeko? Bazali koloba: ‹ Yawe azali komona biso te, Yawe asili na Ye kosundola mokili! › »
13 The Lord went on to tell me, “You're going to see them doing even more disgusting things than these!”
Alobaki lisusu: « Okomona bango ndenge bazali kosala makambo ya mbindo oyo eleki penza mabe. »
14 Then he took me to the north entrance of the Lord's Temple. I saw women sitting there, weeping for the god Tammuz.
Bongo amemaki ngai lisusu na ekotelo ya Ekuke ya ngambo ya nor ya Tempelo ya Yawe; bongo namonaki basi bavandi wana, bazali kolela Tamuzi.
15 “Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? But you're going to see even more disgusting things than these!”
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, omoni makambo oyo? Okomona lisusu makambo ya mbindo koleka oyo ya liboso. »
16 He took me to the inner courtyard of the Lord's Temple and right there at the entrance to the Temple, between the porch and the altar, were around twenty-five men. They had their backs to the Temple, and were facing towards the east. They were bowing in worship of the sun rising in the east.
Akotisaki ngai kati na lopango ya kati ya Tempelo ya Yawe: na ekotelo ya Tempelo, bato tuku mibale na mitano bazalaki na kati-kati ya ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo mpe etumbelo; bapesaki mikongo na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bilongi na bango ezalaki kotala na ngambo ya este; bazalaki kogumbama na kotalaka na ngambo ya este mpo na kogumbamela moyi.
17 “Son of man,” he said to me, “have you seen this? The people of Judah aren't content just to do these disgusting things. They also commit violent crimes across the country and keep on making me angry. Look at how they're deliberately insulting me!
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Mwana na moto, omoni? Boni, ezali penza pamba mpo na libota ya Yuda kosala makambo ya nkele oyo bazali kosala na esika oyo? Batondisa lisusu mokili na makambo na bango ya kanza mpo na kokoba kotumbola kanda na Ngai? Tala ndenge bazali kotombola mandalala kino na zolo!
18 As a result I will respond in anger. I won't treat them kindly; I won't be merciful to them. Even though they shout loudly for my help, I won't listen to them.”
Mpo na yango, Ngai mpe nakopesa bango etumbu na kanda, nakoyokela bango mawa te mpe nakobikisa bango te. Ata bagangi na matoyi na Ngai, nakoyoka bango te. »
