Ezekiel 14
1 And men from [the] elderly of Israel come to me, and sit before me.
Kati na bakambi ya Isalaele, ndambo bayaki epai na ngai mpe bavandaki liboso na ngai.
2 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
3 “Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on their heart, and they have put the stumbling-block of their iniquity before their faces; am I inquired of at all by them?
« Mwana na moto, bato oyo bazali kotia mitema epai ya banzambe ya bikeko. Bongo lokola bazali kotia banzambe ya bikeko liboso na bango, ekobetisa bango mabaku oyo ekokweyisa bango na masumu. Boni, natikela bango lisusu nzela ya kotuna Ngai toli?
4 Therefore, speak with them, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: Everyone of the house of Israel who causes his idols to go up to his heart, and sets the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and has gone to the prophet—I, YHWH, have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,
Mpo na yango, loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Soki moto ya Isalaele atie motema epai ya banzambe ya bikeko oyo ekobetisa ye mabaku mpe ekokweyisa ye na masumu, bongo atie yango liboso na ye mpe akei epai ya mosakoli, Ngai moko Yawe nde nakoyanola ye kolanda motango ya banzambe na ye ya bikeko.
5 in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off Me by their idols—all of them.
Nakosala bongo mpo na kozongisa lisusu epai na Ngai, mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo batikaki Ngai mpo na kolanda banzambe ya bikeko. ›
6 Therefore say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Turn back, indeed, turn back from your idols, and turn back your faces from all your abominations,
Yango wana, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Bobongola mitema! Bopesa banzambe na bino ya bikeko mikongo mpe botika misala na bino ya mbindo!
7 for everyone of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and causes his idols to go up to his heart, and sets the stumbling-block of his iniquity before his face, and has come to the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, YHWH, have answered him for Myself;
Soki moto moko ya Isalaele to mopaya nyonso oyo avandi kati na Isalaele akabwani na Ngai, atie motema na ye na banzambe ya bikeko mpe atie liboso na ye banzambe yango ya bikeko oyo ekobetisa ye mabaku mpe ekokweyisa ye na masumu, bongo akei epai ya mosakoli mpo na kotuna Ngai toli na nzela na ye, Ngai moko Yawe nde nakoyanola ye.
8 and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for allegories, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and you have known that I [am] YHWH.
Nakotombokela moto wana, nakokomisa ye elembo mpe lisese epai na bato mpe nakolongola ye na molongo ya bato na Ngai. Na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe.
9 And the prophet, when he is enticed, and has spoken a word—I, YHWH, have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from the midst of My people Israel.
Soki mosakoli moko akosami mpe asakoli makambo, ezali Ngai moko Yawe nde napengwisi ye. Boye, nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kopesa ye etumbu, mpe nakobeta ye kati na bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
10 And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
Bango mibale, mosakoli yango mpe moto oyo akei kotuna ye toli, bakomema mikumba ya masumu na bango.
11 so that the house of Israel does not wander from after Me anymore, nor are they defiled with all their transgressions anymore, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God—a declaration of Lord YHWH.”
Na bongo, bato ya Isalaele bakokabwana na Ngai lisusu te mpe bakomikomisa lisusu mbindo te na nzela ya masumu na bango; kasi bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai, nakozala Nzambe na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
12 And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
13 “Son of man, when the land sins against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken the staff of bread for it, and sent famine into it, and cut off man and beast from it—
« Mwana na moto, soki bato ya ekolo moko basali masumu liboso na Ngai mpe batamboli na boyengebene te, bongo Ngai nasemboli loboko na Ngai mpo na kopimela bango bilei mpe kotindela bango nzala makasi mpo ete ezala bato to banyama bakufa,
14 and [despite] these three men [that] have been in its midst: Noah, Daniel, and Job—they [only] deliver their own soul by their righteousness,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
ata soki bato misato oyo, ‹ Noa, Daniele mpe Yobo, › bazalaki kati na bavandi ya ekolo yango, bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika mpo na bosembo na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
15 “If I cause an evil beast to pass through the land, and it has bereaved, and it has been a desolation, without any passing through because of the beast—
To soki natindi banyama mabe kati na ekolo yango mpo ete eboma bavandi na yango, mpe mpo ete ekolo yango etikala lisusu na bato te mpe bato balekela lisusu wana te mpo na banyama mabe yango;
16 [despite] these three men in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they deliver neither sons nor daughters; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki bato oyo misato bazalaki kuna, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika, kasi ekolo elingaki kotikala lisusu na bato te.
17 Or [if] I bring a sword in against that land, and I have said: Sword, pass over through the land, and I have cut off man and beast from it—
To soki natindi mopanga ete eboma bato ya ekolo wana mpe nalobi: ‹ Tika ete mopanga eleka na mokili mobimba! › Soki nabomi bato mpe bibwele na yango;
18 and [despite] these three men in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they do not deliver sons and daughters, for they alone are delivered.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki bato oyo misato bazalaki kuna, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika.
19 Or [if] I send pestilence to that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off man and beast from it—
To soki natindi kati na mokili yango bokono oyo ebomaka mpe nasopeli yango kanda na Ngai mpo na kosopa makila, koboma bato mpe bibwele ya mokili yango;
20 and [despite] Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst—[as] I live,” a declaration of Lord YHWH, “they deliver neither son nor daughter; they, by their righteousness, [only] deliver their own soul.”
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki Noa, Daniele mpe Yobo bazalaki kati na bavandi na yango, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa ata mwana moko ya mobali to ya mwasi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika mpo na bosembo na bango.
21 For thus said Lord YHWH: “Although My four severe judgments—sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence—I have sent to Jerusalem, to cut off man and beast from it,
Kasi tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Atako natindeli Yelusalemi bitumbu na Ngai oyo minei ya somo: mopanga, nzala makasi, banyama mabe mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, mpo na kosilisa koboma bato mpe bibwele na yango,
22 yet, behold, there has been left an escape in it, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, behold, they are coming forth to you, and you have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the calamity that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
ekozala na ndambo ya bato oyo bakobika: bana mibali mpe ya basi. Bakoya epai na bino; mpe tango bokomona bizaleli mpe misala na bango, bokobondisama mpo na pasi oyo natindelaki Yelusalemi, mpo na bitumbu nyonso oyo natindelaki yango.
23 And they have comforted you, for you see their way and their doings, and you have known that I have not done all that which I have done in her for nothing,” a declaration of Lord YHWH.
Solo, bokobondisama tango bokomona bizaleli mpe misala na bango; pamba te bokososola ete ezali na pamba te nde nasalaki makambo oyo nyonso kati na Yelusalemi, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
