Ezekiel 15

1 And thee word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,

Yawe alobaki na ngai:

2 Sonne of man, what commeth of the vine tree aboue all other trees? and of the vine braunch, which is among the trees of ye forest?

« 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 bee taken thereof to doe any worke? or wil men take a pin of it to hang any vessel 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 in the fire to be consumed: the fire consumeth both the endes of it, and the middes of it is burnt. Is it meete for any worke?

Sima na kobwaka yango na moto, moto ezikisaka basonge mpe kati na yango; boye ndenge nini bakoki kosalela yango penza eloko ya malonga?

5 Behold, when it was whole, it was meete for no worke: how much lesse shall it bee meete for any worke, when the fire hath consumed it, and it is burnt?

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 sayth the Lord God, As the vine tree, that is among the trees of the forest, which I haue giuen to the fire to be consumed, so will I giue the inhabitants of Ierusalem.

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 one fire, and another fire shall consume them: and ye shall know, that I am the Lord, when I 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 when I make the lande waste, because they haue greatly offended, 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. »
