Ezekiel 44
1 And he causes me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
Moto yango azongisaki ngai na ekuke ya libanda ya Esika ya bule; Ekuke yango ezalaki na ngambo ya este mpe ezalaki ya kokangama.
2 And YHWH says to me, “This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none go in by it, for YHWH, God of Israel, has come in by it, and it has been shut.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Ekuke oyo ekotikala ya kokangama, bakoki kofungola yango te, mpe moto moko te akoki kokota na nzela na yango. Ekotikala kaka ya kokangama, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akotelaki na nzela na yango.
3 The prince, who [is] prince, he sits by it to eat bread before YHWH, he comes in by the way of the porch of the gate, and by its way he goes out.”
Kasi mokambi, ye kaka, lokola azali mokambi nde akoki kovanda na kati mpo na kolia bilei liboso ya Yawe; akokotela na nzela ya ndako moke ya kokotela mpe akobimela kaka na nzela wana. »
4 And he brings me in the way of the north gate to the front of the house, and I look, and behold, the glory of YHWH has filled the house of YHWH, and I fall on my face.
Moto yango amemaki ngai lisusu na nzela ya ekuke ya nor kino na liboso ya Tempelo. Tango natalaki, namonaki nkembo na Yawe kotondisa Tempelo ya Yawe, mpe ngai nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
5 And YHWH says to me, “Son of man, set your heart, and see with your eyes, and hear with your ears, all that I am speaking with you, all of the statutes of the house of YHWH, and all of its laws; and you have set your heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, sala keba! Fungola miso na yo mpe yoka na matoyi na yo makambo nyonso oyo nakoyebisa yo na tina na Tempelo mpe mitindo na yango! Sala penza keba na ekotelo ya Tempelo mpe bikuke nyonso ya Esika ya bule.
6 and have said to [the] rebellion, to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Enough from you—of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Yebisa batomboki oyo, libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh libota ya Isalaele, nalembi misala na bino nyonso ya nkele!
7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to defile it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
Wana bozalaki kobonzela Ngai bilei, mafuta mpe makila ya banyama, bokotisaki kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule bapaya oyo batosaka Ngai te mpe bakatama ngenga te, mpo na kobebisa bosantu ya Tempelo na Ngai; na bongo, bobebisaki boyokani na Ngai mpo na kokokisa misala na bino nyonso ya mbindo!
8 and you have not kept [the] charge of My holy things, and you set [others] for keeping My charge in My sanctuary for you.
Na esika ete bomipesa na mosala ya biloko na Ngai ya bule, bino bozali nde kopesa mosala na Ngai epai ya bapaya, kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule.
9 Thus said Lord YHWH: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, comes into My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mopaya moko te oyo atosaka Ngai te mpe oyo akatisa ngenga te akokota na Esika na Ngai ya bule, ezala bapaya oyo bazali kovanda kati na bana ya Isalaele.
10 And the Levites who have gone far off from Me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
Balevi oyo bakomaki mosika na Ngai, tango Isalaele abungaki nzela mpe azalaki koyengayenga mosika na Ngai mpo na kolanda banzambe na bango ya bikeko, bakomema mikumba ya masumu na bango.
11 And they have been servants in My sanctuary, overseers at the gates of the house, and servants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
Kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule, bakosala kaka mosala ya kokengela bikuke ya Tempelo mpe misala mosusu ya Tempelo; bakobanda koboma mpo na bato bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mosusu mpe bakotelema liboso ya bato mpo na kosalela bango.
12 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been for a stumbling-block of iniquity to the house of Israel, therefore I have lifted up My hand against them—a declaration of Lord YHWH—and they have borne their iniquity.
Kasi lokola basalelaki bango liboso ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe bakweyisaki libota ya Isalaele na masumu, nalapi ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete bakomema mikumba ya masumu na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
13 And they do not draw near to Me to act as My priest, and to draw near to any of My holy things, to the Holy of Holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
Bakopusana lisusu liboso na Ngai te mpo na kosalela Ngai lokola Banganga-Nzambe to pene ya biloko nyonso oyo ebulisami mpo na Ngai to mpe pene ya biloko oyo eleki bule. Boye, bakolata soni ya misala na bango ya nkele.
14 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
Nakopesa bango mokumba ya kobatela Tempelo mpe kosala misala na yango nyonso, nyonso oyo esengeli kosalema kati na yango.
15 And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near to Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring fat and blood near to Me—a declaration of Lord YHWH:
Kasi Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi mpe bakitani ya Tsadoki, oyo bakobaki kobatela na boyengebene misala na bango kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule tango bana ya Isalaele babungaki nzela na Ngai, bakopusana pene na Ngai mpo na kosalela Ngai; bakotelema liboso na Ngai mpo na kobonza bambeka ya mafuta mpe makila ya banyama, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
16 they come into My sanctuary, and they draw near to My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
Bango kaka nde bakokota na Esika na Ngai ya bule, bakopusana pene ya mesa na Ngai mpo na kosalela Ngai mpe kokokisa mosala na Ngai.
17 And it has come to pass, in their going into the gates of the inner court, they put on linen garments; and no wool comes up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
Tango bakokota na bikuke ya lopango ya kati, basengeli kolata bilamba ya lino; bakoki kolata bilamba oyo basala na bapwale ya meme te tango bakozala kosala mosala na bikuke ya lopango ya kati to kati na Tempelo.
18 Linen headdresses are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
Bakolata bitendi ya lino na mito na bango mpe bakaputula ya lino na baloketo na bango; bakoki kolata te bilamba oyo etokisaka bato.
19 And in their going forth to the outer court—to the outer court to the people—they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
Tango bakobima mpo na kokende na lopango ya libanda, na esika oyo bato bazalaka, bakolongola bilamba oyo bazalaki kosalela mosala na kati mpe bakotika yango kati na bashambre ya bule; bakolata bilamba mosusu mpo ete babulisa bato te na nzela ya bilamba na bango.
20 And they do not shave their head, and they do not send forth the lock; they certainly trim their heads.
Banganga-Nzambe bakoki te kokokola suki ya mito na bango to kokolisa makasi suki na bango; kasi basengeli kokata suki na bango malamu.
21 And no priest drinks wine in their coming into the inner court.
Nganga-Nzambe moko te akomela masanga ya vino liboso ete akota na lopango ya kati.
22 And they do not take a widow or divorced woman to themselves for wives, but they take virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest.
Bakoki kobala te basi oyo bakufisa mibali to basi oyo bakabwana na mibali na bango na libala, kasi bakobala kaka bilenge basi ya Isalaele oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te to basi ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo basila kokufa.
23 And they direct My people between holy and common, and they cause them to discern between unclean and clean.
Bakoteya bato ete bayeba kosala bokeseni kati na biloko ya bule mpe oyo ya bule te, kati na biloko ya mbindo mpe oyo ya peto.
24 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; they judge it with My judgments; and they keep My law and My statutes in all My appointed places; and they sanctify My Sabbaths.
Na tango ya matata, Banganga-Nzambe bakotelema lokola basambisi mpo na kokata makambo kolanda mibeko, bakotosa mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai, bafeti na Ngai, oyo ekatama mpe bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
25 And he does not come near to any dead man to be defiled, but if for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who has not been to a man, they may defile themselves.
Nganga-Nzambe moko te akomikomisa mbindo na kopusana pene ya moto ya kokufa. Nzokande, akoki kondima komikomisa mbindo soki moto oyo akufi azali tata to mama na ye, mwana na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi, ndeko na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi oyo amibalelaki te.
26 And after his cleansing, they number seven days to him.
Sima na kopetolama na ye, akozela mikolo sambo.
27 And in the day of his coming into the sanctuary, into the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he brings his sin-offering near—a declaration of Lord YHWH.
Na mokolo oyo akokota kati na Esika ya bule, kati na lopango ya kati mpo na kosala mosala, akobonza mbeka mpo na masumu na ye moko, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
28 And it has been for an inheritance to them; I [am] their inheritance, and you do not give a possession to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
Tala oyo ekozala libula ya Banganga-Nzambe: Ngai moko nde nazali libula na bango. Bokopesa bango mabele te kati na Isalaele; Ngai moko nde nakozala mabele na bango.
29 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
Bakolia makabo ya bambuma, bambeka ya masumu mpe bambeka ya kozongisa boyokani; biloko nyonso oyo, kati na Isalaele, ebulisama mpo na Yawe ekozala ya bango.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every raised-offering of all, of all your raised-offerings, are the priests’; and you give the first of your dough to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on your house.
Bambuma ya liboso oyo ya kitoko mpe makabo na bino nyonso, kolongola ata eloko moko te, ekozala ya Banganga-Nzambe; bokopesa bango bambuma ya liboso ya bilanga na bino ya ble mpo ete mapamboli ezala kati na bandako na bino.
31 The priests do not eat any carcass or torn thing, from the bird or from the beast.”
Banganga-Nzambe bakoki kolia te ndeke to nyama oyo ekufi yango moko to oyo nyama mosusu esili koboma.
