Ezekiel 33
1 Again, the woorde of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 Sonne of man, speake to the children of thy people, and say vnto them, When I bring the sworde vpon a lande, if the people of the lande take a man from among them, and make him their watchman,
« Mwana na moto, loba na bandeko na yo mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Soki nabimisi bitumba na mokili moko, bongo bato ya mokili yango baponi moko kati na bango lokola mokengeli na bango;
3 If when hee seeth the sworde come vpon ye land, he blow the trumpet, and warne the people,
soki mokengeli yango amoni banguna koya kobundisa mokili na bango mpe abeti kelelo mpo na kokebisa bato.
4 Then hee that heareth the sounde of the trumpet, and will not bee warned, if the sworde come, and take him away, his blood shall be vpon his owne head.
Soki moto moko ayoki lolaka ya kelelo, kasi azwi yango na pamba mpe mopanga ebomi ye, makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko.
5 For he heard the sound of the trumpet, and woulde not bee admonished: therefore his blood shall be vpon him: but he that receiueth warning, shall saue his life.
Lokola ayokaki lolaka ya kelelo, kasi azwaki likebisi wana na pamba, makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko. Kasi soki azwaki likebisi wana na pamba te, alingaki solo kobikisa bomoi na ye.
6 But if the watchman see the sworde come, and blowe not the trumpet, and the people be not warned: if the sworde come, and take any person from among them, he is taken away for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at the watchmans hande.
Nzokande, soki mokengeli amoni banguna koya mpe abeti kelelo te mpo na kokebisa bato, bongo mopanga ebomi moko kati na bandeko na ye, ndeko wana akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye, kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto ya mokengeli. ›
7 So thou, O sonne of man, I haue made thee a watchman vnto the house of Israel: therefore thou shalt heare the woorde at my mouth, and admonish them from me.
Mwana na moto, nakomisi yo mokengeli mpo na libota ya Isalaele. Boye, yokaka maloba oyo nakobanda koloba mpo na kokebisa bango na Kombo na Ngai.
8 When I shall say vnto the wicked, O wicked man, thou shalt die the death, if thou doest not speake, and admonish the wicked of his way, that wicked man shall die for his iniquitie, but his blood will I require at thine hand.
Soki nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Oh moto mabe, okokufa solo! › Mpe yo, olobi na ye eloko moko te mpo ete abongola bizaleli na ye, moto mabe wana akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye; kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto na yo.
9 Neuerthelesse, If thou warne the wicked of his way, to turne from it, if he doe not turne from his way, he shall die for his iniquitie, but thou hast deliuered thy soule.
Kasi soki okebisi moto mabe ete abongola bizaleli na ye, bongo asaleli yango te, akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye; mpe yo, okobikisa bomoi na yo.
10 Therefore, O thou sonne of man, speake vnto the house of Israel, Thus yee speake and say, If our transgressions and our sinnes bee vpon vs, and we are consumed because of them, howe should we then liue?
Mwana na moto, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala maloba oyo bozali koloba: ‘Ndenge nini penza tokoki lisusu kobika mpo ete mabe mpe masumu na biso ekomi kilo makasi mpo na biso, mpe yango ekomi kobebisa biso?’ ›
11 Say vnto them, As I liue, sayeth the Lord God, I desire not the death of the wicked, but that the wicked turne from his way and liue: turne you, turne you from your euill waies, for why will ye die, O ye house of Israel?
Loba na bango: ‹ Na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, nasepelaka na kufa ya moto mabe te; nalingaka nde ete abongola bizaleli na ye mpo ete abika! Bobongwana, bobongwana, oh libota ya Isalaele! Mpo na nini bolingi kaka nzela ya kufa? ›
12 Therefore thou sonne of man, saye vnto the children of thy people, The righteousnesse of the righteous shall not deliuer him in the day of his transgression, nor the wickednesse of the wicked shall cause him to fall therein, in the day that he returneth from his wickednesse, neither shall the righteous liue for his righteousnesse in the day that he sinneth.
Mwana na moto, loba na bandeko na yo: ‹ Boyengebene ya moto ya sembo ekobikisa ye te soki asali mabe, mpe mabe ya moto mabe ekokweyisa ye te soki atiki yango; moto ya sembo akobika te likolo ya boyengebene na ye ya kala soki asali masumu. ›
13 When I shall say vnto the righteous, that he shall surely liue, if he trust to his owne righteousnes, and commit iniquitie, all his righteousnes shall be no more remembred, but for his iniquitie that he hath committed, he shall die for the same.
Ata soki nalobi na moto ya sembo ete akowumela solo na bomoi, soki atie elikya na bosembo na ye mpe asali mabe, bosembo na ye nyonso ekotangama lisusu te mpe akokufa mpo na mabe oyo asali.
14 Againe when I shall say vnto the wicked, thou shalt die the death, if he turne from his sinne, and doe that which is lawfull and right,
Soki nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Okokufa solo; › kasi atiki masumu na ye mpe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima,
15 To wit, if the wicked restore the pledge, and giue againe that he had robbed, and walke in the statutes of life, without committing iniquitie, he shall surely liue, and not die.
soki azongisi ndanga oyo asimbaki na niongo mpe biloko oyo ayibaki, soki atosi mitindo oyo epesaka bomoi mpe atiki kosala mabe, akobika penza, akokufa te.
16 None of his sinnes that he hath comitted, shall be mentioned vnto him: because he hath done that, which is lawful, and right, he shall surely liue.
Mabe nyonso oyo asalaki ekotangama lisusu te, akobika solo; pamba te asali oyo ezali alima mpe sembo.
17 Yet the children of thy people say, The way of the Lord is not equall: but their owne way is vnequall.
Bandeko na yo bazali koloba: ‹ Nkolo akataka makambo na bosembo te. › Nzokande, nzela na bango moko nde ezalaka mabe.
18 When the righteous turneth from his righteousnesse, and committeth iniquitie, he shall euen die thereby.
Soki moto ya sembo atiki boyengebene na ye mpe akomi kosala mabe, akokufa mpo na mabe yango.
19 But if the wicked returne from his wickednesse, and doe that which is lawfull and right, hee shall liue thereby.
Soki moto mabe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima, akobika solo mpo ete asali bongo.
20 Yet yee say, The way of the Lord is not equall. O ye house of Israel, I will iudge you euery one after his waies.
Oh bino, libota ya Isalaele, ndenge nini bokoki penza koloba: ‹ Nkolo akataka makambo na bosembo te! › Solo, nakosambisa moko na moko kati na bino kolanda etamboli na ye! »
21 Also in the twelfth yere of our captiuitie, in the tenth moneth, and in the fift day of the moneth, one that had escaped out of Ierusalem, came vnto me, and said, The citie is smitten.
Na mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya zomi na mibale ya bowumbu na biso, moko kati na bato oyo babikaki na Yelusalemi ayaki epai na ngai mpe alobaki: « Babebisi engumba! »
22 Now the hand of the Lord had bene vpon me in ye euening afore hee that had escaped, came, and had opened my mouth vntill he came to me in the morning: and when hee had opened my mouth, I was no more dumme.
Nzokande, na pokwa, liboso ete moto yango aya epai na ngai, loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai mpe afungolaki monoko na ngai liboso ete moto yango akoma epai na ngai na tongo. Monoko na ngai efungwamaki mpe nakomaki koloba.
23 Againe the worde of the Lord came vnto me, and saide,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
24 Sonne of man, these that dwel in the desolate places of the land of Israel, talke and say, Abraham was but one, and hee possessed the lande: but we are many, therefore the lande shall be giuen vs in possession.
« Mwana na moto, bavandi ya bisika oyo ebeba kati na mokili ya Isalaele bazali koloba: ‹ Abrayami azalaki kaka ye moko tango azwaki mokili lokola libula; nzokande biso, tozali ebele; boye, solo, mokili epesameli biso lokola libula! ›
25 Wherefore say vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, Ye eate with the blood, and lift vp your eyes towarde your idoles, and sheade blood: should ye then possesse the land?
Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Boni, ndenge bozali nanu kolia misuni mpe makila na yango, bongo bozali kotalela banzambe na bino ya bikeko mpe kosopa makila ya bato, bozwa solo mokili lokola libula!
26 Ye leane vpon your swordes: ye worke abomination, and yee defile euery one his neighbours wife: should ye then possesse the land?
Bozali kotia elikya na mopanga na bino, bozali kosala makambo ya mbindo, mpe moko na moko kati na bino azali kokomisa mbindo mwasi ya moninga na ye, mpe bozwa penza mokili lokola libula! ›
27 Say thus vnto them, Thus saieth the Lord God, As I liue, so surely they that are in the desolate places, shall fall by the sword: and him that is in the open field, will I giue vnto the beasts to be deuoured: and they that be in the forts and in the caues, shall die of the pestilence.
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na Kombo na Ngai, bato oyo batikali na bisika oyo ebeba bakokufa na mopanga! Ba-oyo bazali na mboka, nakokaba bango epai ya banyama ya zamba mpo ete eboma bango! Mpe ba-oyo babombami kati na bandako batonga makasi mpe kati na madusu ya mabanga bakokufa na bokono oyo ebomaka;
28 For I will lay the land desolate and waste, and the pompe of her strength shall cease: and the moutaines of Israel shalbe desolate, and none shall passe through.
nakokomisa mokili libebi mpe nakosala ete etikala lisusu na bato te: nakosukisa lolendo na yango, bangomba ya Isalaele ekotikala lisusu na bato te, mpe bato bakotika kolekela wana.
29 Then shall they know that I am the Lord, when I haue laid ye land desolate and wast, because of al their abominations, that they haue committed.
Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakokomisa mokili libebi mpe esobe, likolo ya makambo na bango nyonso ya mbindo oyo bazali kosala. ›
30 Also thou sonne of man, the children of thy people that talke of thee by the wals and in the dores of houses, and speake one to another, euery one to his brother, saying, Come, I pray you, and heare what is the word that commeth from the Lord.
Mpo na yo, mwana na moto, bandeko na yo bazali kolobana bango na bango na bamir mpe na bikuke ya bandako na bango na tina na kombo na yo: ‹ Boya koyoka maloba oyo ewuti epai na Yawe! ›
31 For they come vnto thee, as the people vseth to come: and my people sit before thee, and heare thy wordes, but they will not doe them: for with their mouthes they make iestes, and their heart goeth after their couetousnesse.
Bongo bato na Ngai bayei epai na yo ndenge kaka bayaka tango nyonso mpe bavandi liboso na yo mpo na koyoka maloba na yo, kasi batiaka yango na misala te, pamba te minoko na bango ebimisaka kaka makambo oyo esepelisaka mitema na bango, mpe mitema na bango elukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko.
32 And loe, thou art vnto them, as a iesting song of one that hath a pleasant voyce, and can sing well: for they heare thy woordes, but they doe them not.
Mpo na bango, ozalaka na yo kaka lokola moto oyo ayembaka malamu banzembo ya kitoko, na mongongo ya kitoko, mpe abetaka mindule kitoko; pamba te bayokaka na bango maloba na yo, kasi batiaka yango na misala te.
33 And when this commeth to passe (for loe, it will come) then shall they know, that a Prophet hath bene among them.
Tango makambo oyo nyonso ekokokisama —mpe ekokokisama solo— bakososola penza ete mosakoli moko azalaki kati na bango. »
