Jezekiel 3
1 And he said to me, Son of Man, eat this volume, and go and speak to the children 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 he opened my mouth, and caused me to eat the volume. And he said to me, Son of man,
Boye, nafungolaki monoko na ngai, mpe aleisaki ngai buku yango oyo elingama.
3 your mouth shall eat, and your belly shall be filled with this volume that is given to you. So I ate it; and it was in my mouth as sweet as honey.
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 to me, Son of man, go your way, and go in to the house of Israel, and speak my words to them.
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, kende sik’oyo na libota ya Isalaele mpe yebisa bango maloba na Ngai.
5 For you are not sent to a people of hard speech, [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 neither to many nations of other speech and other tongues, nor of harsh language, whose words you would not understand: although if I [had] sent you to such, they would have listened to you.
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 be willing to listen to you; for they will not listen to me: for all the house of Israel are stubborn and hard-hearted.
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 And, behold, I have made your face strong against their faces, and I will strengthen your power against their power.
Nakokomisa yo motema mpe moto makasi lokola bango.
9 And it shall be continually stronger than a rock: be not afraid of them, neither be dismayed at their faces, because it is a provoking 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 And he said to me, Son of man, receive into your heart all the words that I have spoken to you, and hear [them] with your 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 your way, go in to the captivity, to the children of your people, and you shall speak to them, and say to them, Thus says the Lord; 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 the Spirit took me up, and I heard behind me the voice [as] of a great earthquake, [saying], 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 And I perceived the sound of the wings of the living creatures clapping one to the other, and the sound of the wheels was near them, and the sound of the earthquake.
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 And the Spirit lifted me, and took me up, and I went in the impulse of my spirit; and the hand of the Lord was mighty 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 passed through the air and came into the captivity, and went round [to] them that lived by the river of Chobar who were there; and I sat there seven days, conversant in the midst of them.
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 after the seven days the word of the Lord came to me, saying, Son of man,
Sima na mikolo sambo, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
17 I have made you a watchman to the house of Israel; and you shall hear a word of my mouth, and shall threaten them 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 to the wicked, You shall surely die; and you have not warned him, to give warning to the wicked, to turn from his ways, that he should live; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity; but his blood will I require at your 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 But if you warn the wicked, and he turn not from his wickedness, and from his way, that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, and you shall deliver your 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 And when the righteous turns away from his righteousness, and commits a trespass, and I shall bring punishment before him, he shall die, because you did not warn him: he shall even die in his sins, because his righteousness shall not be remembered; but his blood will I require at your 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 But if you warn the righteous not to sin, and he sin not, the righteous shall surely live, because you have warned him; and you shall deliver your own 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 upon me; and he said to me, Arise, and go forth into the plain, and there shall you be spoken to.
Loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai, mpe alobaki na ngai: « Telema mpe kende na lubwaku; nazali na makambo ya koyebisa yo kuna. »
23 And I arose, and went forth to the plain: and, behold, the glory of the Lord stood there, according to the vision, and according to the glory of the Lord, which I saw by the river of Chobar: 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 the Spirit came upon me, and set me on my feet, and spoke to me, and said to me, Go in, and shut yourself up in the midst of your 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 And you, son of man, behold, bonds are prepared for you, and they shall bind you with them, and you shall not come forth of the midst of them.
Yo, mwana na moto, bakokanga yo basinga, bakolinga-linga yo mpo ete okoka te kobima kati na bato.
26 Also I will bind your tongue, and you shall be dumb, and shall not be to them a reprover: because it is a provoking 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 to you, I will open your mouth, and you shall say to them, Thus says the Lord, He that hears, let him hear; and he that is disobedient, let him be disobedient: because it is a provoking 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. »
