Ezekiel 4
1 Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and trace upon it a city, even Jerusalem;
« Sik’oyo mwana na moto, kamata biliki ya kotumba, tia yango liboso na yo mpe koma na likolo na yango elilingi ya engumba Yelusalemi.
2 and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
Sala yango lokola engumba oyo bazingela, oyo batonga mabulu ya kobombamela zingazinga na yango mpe oyo batelemisa bamir ya zelo mpo na kobombama, engumba oyo batonga milako zingazinga na yango, mpe telemisa bakonzi ya basoda oyo babongami mpo na kobundisa yango na zingazinga.
3 And take thou unto thee an iron griddle, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city; and set thy face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.
Kamata eteni ya linzanza, tia yango lokola mir ya ebende na kati-kati na yo mpe elilingi ya engumba oyo osili kokoma, mpe tika ete miso na yo etala yango. Bakozingela engumba yango ndenge kaka yo osili kozingela yango. Yango nde ekozala elembo mpo na libota ya Isalaele.
4 Moreover lie thou upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it, thou shalt bear their iniquity.
Bongo yo, lala na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mwasi, tia na ngambo wana masumu ya libota ya Isalaele. Okomema masumu na bango mikolo nyonso oyo okolala na ngambo wana.
5 For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be unto thee a number of days, even three hundred and ninety days; so shalt thou bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
Ngai moko nakokatela yo motango ya mikolo, oyo ekokokana na motango ya mibu oyo libota ya Isalaele asali masumu: mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa; mpe okomema solo masumu ya libota ya Isalaele na mikolo oyo.
6 And again, when thou hast accomplished these, thou shalt lie on thy right side, and shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah; forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it unto thee.
Sima na yo kosilisa mikolo yango, lala lisusu na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali mpe mema lisusu masumu ya libota ya Yuda. Nakateli yo mikolo tuku minei: mokolo moko mpo na mobu moko na moko.
7 And thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with thine arm uncovered; and thou shalt prophesy against it.
Talisa elongi mpe loboko na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi oyo bazingela mpe sakola mabe na tina na yango.
8 And, behold, I lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast accomplished the days of thy siege.
Nakolinga-linga yo na basinga mpo ete okoka kobaluka na ngambo mosusu te kino tango okokokisa mikolo na yo ya etumbu.
9 Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof; according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, even three hundred and ninety days, shalt thou eat thereof.
Kamata ble mpe orje, madesu mpe misili, soya mpe masango, tia yango nyonso kati na mbeki moko kaka oyo babombelaka biloko. Ezali yango nde ekozala bilei oyo okobanda kolia tango nyonso, na mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa oyo okowumela ya kolala na ngambo moko.
10 And thy food which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day; from time to time shalt thou eat it.
Bilei na yo ya mokolo na mokolo ekozala ya bagrame nkama mibale na tuku mibale, mpe okobanda kolia yango tango nyonso.
11 Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of a hin; from time to time shalt thou drink.
Okobanda komela tango nyonso litele moko ya mayi.
12 And thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it in their sight with dung that cometh out of man.'
Okolia bilei basala lokola gato ya orje mpe okobanda kotumba yango na miso ya bato nyonso, na moto oyo bapelisa na nyei ya bato. »
13 And the LORD said: 'Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations whither I will drive them.'
Yawe alobaki: — Ezali na nzela wana nde bana ya Isalaele bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na bikolo epai wapi nakobengana bango.
14 Then said I: 'Ah Lord GOD! behold, my soul hath not been polluted; for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn of beasts; neither came there abhorred flesh into my mouth.'
Bongo nalobaki: — Te, Nkolo Yawe! Natikala nanu komikomisa mbindo te! Wuta bolenge na ngai, natikala nanu kolia te nyama oyo ekufa yango moko to nyama oyo nyama ya zamba esila koboma! Te, monoko na ngai etikala nanu kolia mosuni ya mbindo te!
15 Then He said unto me: 'See, I have given thee cow's dung for man's dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread thereon.'
Alobaki na ngai: — Malamu mingi! Na esika ya nyei ya bato, napesi yo nyei ya ngombe mpo ete okoka kotumbela gato na yo.
16 Moreover He said unto me: 'Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem, and they shall eat bread by weight, and with anxiety; and they shall drink water by measure, and in appalment;
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: — Mwana na moto, nakobebisa bilei nyonso oyo ezali na bibombelo ya Yelusalemi. Bato bakolia biteni mike ya mapa, na pasi na motema, mpe bakomela mayi na bakopo ya mike, na somo;
17 that they may want bread and water, and be appalled one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
pamba te bilei mpe mayi ya komela ekokoma pasi mpo na kozwa. Moko na moko akokamwa mpo na moninga na ye mosusu; mpe bakobebisama likolo ya masumu na bango.
