Ezekiel 3
1 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, eat that which thou findest; eat this roll, and go, speak unto the house of Israel.'
Bongo alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, lia eloko oyo ezali liboso na yo, lia buku oyo elingama mpe kende koloba na libota ya Isalaele. »
2 So I opened my mouth, and He caused me to eat that roll.
Boye, nafungolaki monoko na ngai, mpe aleisaki ngai buku yango oyo elingama.
3 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, cause thy belly to eat, and fill thy bowels with this roll that I give thee.' Then did I eat it; and it was in my mouth as honey for sweetness.
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Mwana na moto, lia mokanda oyo nazali kopesa yo mpe tondisa libumu na yo na yango. » Boye, naliaki yango, mpe ezalaki elengi na monoko na ngai lokola mafuta ya nzoyi.
4 And He said unto me: 'Son of man, go, get thee unto the house of Israel, and speak with My words unto them.
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, kende sik’oyo na libota ya Isalaele mpe yebisa bango maloba na Ngai.
5 For thou art not sent to a people of an unintelligible speech and of a slow tongue, but to the house of Israel;
Otindami te epai ya bato oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koloba mpe kososola, kasi epai ya bana ya Isalaele.
6 not to many peoples of an unintelligible speech and of a slow tongue, whose words thou canst not understand. Surely, if I sent thee to them, they would hearken unto thee.
Otindami te kati na bikolo ebele oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koloba mpe kososola. Solo, soki natindaki yo epai ya bikolo wana, balingaki kososola sango oyo omemeli bango.
7 But the house of Israel will not consent to hearken unto thee; for they consent not to hearken unto Me; for all the house of Israel are of a hard forehead and of a stiff heart.
Kasi libota ya Isalaele bakolinga koyokela yo te, mpo ete balingaka koyokela Ngai te; pamba te libota mobimba ya Isalaele bazali mitema mpe mito makasi.
8 Behold, I have made thy face hard against their faces, and thy forehead hard against their foreheads.
Nakokomisa yo motema mpe moto makasi lokola bango.
9 As an adamant harder than flint have I made thy forehead; fear them not, neither be dismayed at their looks, for they are a rebellious house.'
Nakokomisa mbunzu na yo makasi lokola diama to mpe makasi koleka ata libanga. Kobanga te mpe kolenga te liboso na bango, atako bazali libota ya batomboki. »
10 Moreover He said unto me: 'Son of man, all My words that I shall speak unto thee receive in thy heart, and hear with thine ears.
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Mwana na moto, yoka malamu maloba oyo nakoloba na yo mpe batela yango malamu kati na motema na yo.
11 And go, get thee to them of the captivity, unto the children of thy people, and speak unto them, and tell them: Thus saith the Lord GOD; whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear.'
Kende sik’oyo epai ya bandeko na yo, oyo bozali elongo na bango kati na bowumbu; okoyebisa bango mpe, ezala bayokeli yo to baboyi koyokela yo, okoloba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi. › »
12 Then a spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the voice of a great rushing: 'Blessed be the glory of the LORD from His place';
Boye, Molimo atelemisaki ngai mpe nayokaki sima na ngai makelele moko ya makasi: « Tika ete nkembo ya Yawe epambolama wuta na esika oyo Ye avandaka! »
13 also the noise of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the noise of the wheels beside them, even the noise of a great rushing.
Nayokaki lisusu makelele ya mapapu ya bikelamu ya bomoi, tango ezalaki kotutana lipapu moko na mosusu, makelele ya bapine mpe lokito moko ya makasi.
14 So a spirit lifted me up, and took me away; and I went in bitterness, in the heat of my spirit, and the hand of the LORD was strong upon me.
Molimo atombolaki ngai mpe amemaki ngai mosika. Boye, nazalaki kokende na pasi na motema, mpe molimo na ngai etondisamaki na kanda; nzokande loboko na Yawe ezalaki kosala kati na ngai na nguya makasi.
15 Then I came to them of the captivity at Tel-abib, that dwelt by the river Chebar, and I sat where they sat; and I remained there appalled among them seven days.
Nakomaki kino na Teli-Avivi epai wapi bato oyo bamemaki na bowumbu bazalaki kovanda, pembeni ya ebale Kebari. Navandaki kuna elongo na bango mikolo sambo; nazalaki kokamwa mingi.
16 And it came to pass at the end of seven days, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying:
Sima na mikolo sambo, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
17 'Son of man, I have appointed thee a watchman unto the house of Israel; and when thou shalt hear a word at My mouth, thou shalt give them warning from Me.
« Mwana na moto, nasili kotia yo mokengeli mpo na libota ya Isalaele; boye yoka maloba oyo nazali koloba mpe kebisa bango na Kombo na Ngai.
18 When I say unto the wicked: Thou shalt surely die; and thou givest him not warning, nor speakest to warn the wicked from his wicked way, to save his life; the same wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Soki Ngai nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Solo, okokufa, › kasi yo okebisi ye te to oyebisi ye te ete atika nzela na ye ya mabe mpo ete abikisa bomoi na ye, moto wana ya mabe akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye, kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto na yo.
19 Yet if thou warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, nor from his wicked way, he shall die in his iniquity; but thou hast delivered thy soul.
Kasi soki, yo, okebisi moto wana ya mabe, mpe atiki mabe na ye te to abongwani na nzela na ye ya mabe te, akokufa solo na masumu na ye, mpe yo okobikisa bomoi na yo.
20 Again, when a righteous man doth turn from his righteousness, and commit iniquity, I will lay a stumblingblock before him, he shall die; because thou hast not given him warning, he shall die in his sin, and his righteous deeds which he hath done shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at thy hand.
Soki moto ya sembo atiki kosalela bosembo na ye mpe akomi kosala mabe, nakotia libaku liboso na ye, mpe moto yango akokufa, solo. Soki okebisaki ye te, akokufa penza mpo na masumu na ye, mpe bakotikala kokanisa lisusu te bolamu nyonso oyo ye asilaki kosala; kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto na yo.
21 Nevertheless if thou warn the righteous man, that the righteous sin not, and he doth not sin, he shall surely live, because he took warning; and thou hast delivered thy soul.'
Kasi soki, yo, okebisi moto ya sembo mpo ete asala masumu te, bongo ye mpe asali masumu te, akobikisa solo bomoi na ye, pamba te ayoki likebisi na yo, mpe yo, okobikisa bomoi na yo. »
22 And the hand of the LORD came there upon me; and He said unto me: 'Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there speak with thee.'
Loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai, mpe alobaki na ngai: « Telema mpe kende na lubwaku; nazali na makambo ya koyebisa yo kuna. »
23 Then I arose, and went forth into the plain; and, behold, the glory of the LORD stood there, as the glory which I saw by the river Chebar; and I fell on my face.
Natelemaki mpe nakendeki na lubwaku. Nkembo ya Yawe ezalaki kuna: ezalaki lokola nkembo oyo namonaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari. Boye nakweyaki elongi na ngai kino na mabele.
24 Then spirit entered into me, and set me upon my feet; and He spoke with me, and said unto me: 'Go, shut thyself within thy house.
Bongo Molimo akotaki kati na ngai mpe atelemisaki ngai na makolo na ngai. Alobaki na ngai: « Kende komikangela kati na ndako na yo.
25 But thou, son of man, behold, bands shall be put upon thee, and thou shalt be bound with them, and thou shalt not go out among them;
Yo, mwana na moto, bakokanga yo basinga, bakolinga-linga yo mpo ete okoka te kobima kati na bato.
26 and I will make thy tongue cleave to the roof of thy mouth, that thou shalt be dumb, and shalt not be to them a reprover; for they are a rebellious house.
Nakokangisa lolemo na yo na monoko na yo mpo ete okoka koloba te mpe okoka kopamela bango te, pamba te bazali libota ya batomboki.
27 But when I speak with thee, I will open thy mouth, and thou shalt say unto them: Thus saith the Lord GOD; he that heareth, let him hear, and he that forbeareth, let him forbear; for they are a rebellious house.
Kasi tango nakoloba na yo mpe nakofungola monoko na yo mpo ete oyebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi. › Tika ete moto oyo akolinga koyoka ayoka, mpe oyo akoboya koyoka aboya na ye! Pamba te bazali libota ya batomboki. »
