Ezekiel 33
1 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 "Son of man, speak to the children of your people, and tell them, 'When I bring the sword on a land, and the people of the land take a man from among them, and set him for their watchman;
« Mwana na moto, loba na bandeko na yo mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Soki nabimisi bitumba na mokili moko, bongo bato ya mokili yango baponi moko kati na bango lokola mokengeli na bango;
3 if, when he sees the sword come on the land, he blow the trumpet, and warn the people;
soki mokengeli yango amoni banguna koya kobundisa mokili na bango mpe abeti kelelo mpo na kokebisa bato.
4 then whoever hears the sound of the trumpet, and doesn't take warning, if the sword come, and take him away, his blood shall be on his own head.
Soki moto moko ayoki lolaka ya kelelo, kasi azwi yango na pamba mpe mopanga ebomi ye, makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko.
5 He heard the sound of the trumpet, and didn't take warning; his blood shall be on him; whereas if he had taken warning, he would have delivered his soul.
Lokola ayokaki lolaka ya kelelo, kasi azwaki likebisi wana na pamba, makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko. Kasi soki azwaki likebisi wana na pamba te, alingaki solo kobikisa bomoi na ye.
6 But if the watchman sees the sword come, and doesn't blow the trumpet, and the people aren't warned, and the sword comes, and take any person from among them; he is taken away in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at the watchman's hand.'
Nzokande, soki mokengeli amoni banguna koya mpe abeti kelelo te mpo na kokebisa bato, bongo mopanga ebomi moko kati na bandeko na ye, ndeko wana akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye, kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto ya mokengeli. ›
7 "So you, son of man, I have set you a watchman to the house of Israel; therefore hear the word at my mouth, and give them warning from me.
Mwana na moto, nakomisi yo mokengeli mpo na libota ya Isalaele. Boye, yokaka maloba oyo nakobanda koloba mpo na kokebisa bango na Kombo na Ngai.
8 When I tell the wicked, 'O wicked man, you shall surely die,' and you do not speak to warn the wicked from his way; that wicked man shall die in his iniquity, but his blood will I require at your hand.
Soki nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Oh moto mabe, okokufa solo! › Mpe yo, olobi na ye eloko moko te mpo ete abongola bizaleli na ye, moto mabe wana akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye; kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto na yo.
9 Nevertheless, if you warn the wicked of his way to turn from it, and he doesn't turn from his way; he shall die in his iniquity, but you have delivered your soul.
Kasi soki okebisi moto mabe ete abongola bizaleli na ye, bongo asaleli yango te, akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye; mpe yo, okobikisa bomoi na yo.
10 "You, son of man, tell the house of Israel: 'Thus you speak, saying, "Our transgressions and our sins are on us, and we pine away in them; how then can we live?"'
Mwana na moto, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala maloba oyo bozali koloba: ‘Ndenge nini penza tokoki lisusu kobika mpo ete mabe mpe masumu na biso ekomi kilo makasi mpo na biso, mpe yango ekomi kobebisa biso?’ ›
11 Tell them, 'As I live,' says Jehovah, 'I have no pleasure in the death of the wicked; but that the wicked turn from his way and live: turn, turn from your evil ways; for why will you die, house of Israel?'
Loba na bango: ‹ Na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, nasepelaka na kufa ya moto mabe te; nalingaka nde ete abongola bizaleli na ye mpo ete abika! Bobongwana, bobongwana, oh libota ya Isalaele! Mpo na nini bolingi kaka nzela ya kufa? ›
12 "You, son of man, tell the children of your people, 'The righteousness of the righteous shall not deliver him in the day of his disobedience; and as for the wickedness of the wicked, he shall not fall thereby in the day that he turns from his wickedness; neither shall he who is righteous be able to live thereby in the day that he sins.'
Mwana na moto, loba na bandeko na yo: ‹ Boyengebene ya moto ya sembo ekobikisa ye te soki asali mabe, mpe mabe ya moto mabe ekokweyisa ye te soki atiki yango; moto ya sembo akobika te likolo ya boyengebene na ye ya kala soki asali masumu. ›
13 When I say to the righteous "He shall surely live," but he trusts in his righteousness and commits iniquity, none of his righteous deeds shall be remembered; but he shall die because of the iniquity he has committed.
Ata soki nalobi na moto ya sembo ete akowumela solo na bomoi, soki atie elikya na bosembo na ye mpe asali mabe, bosembo na ye nyonso ekotangama lisusu te mpe akokufa mpo na mabe oyo asali.
14 Again, when I say to the wicked, 'You shall surely die'; if he turn from his sin, and do that which is lawful and right;
Soki nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Okokufa solo; › kasi atiki masumu na ye mpe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima,
15 if the wicked restore the pledge, give again that which he had taken by robbery, walk in the statutes of life, committing no iniquity; he shall surely live, he shall not die.
soki azongisi ndanga oyo asimbaki na niongo mpe biloko oyo ayibaki, soki atosi mitindo oyo epesaka bomoi mpe atiki kosala mabe, akobika penza, akokufa te.
16 None of his sins that he has committed shall be remembered against him: he has done that which is lawful and right; he shall surely live.
Mabe nyonso oyo asalaki ekotangama lisusu te, akobika solo; pamba te asali oyo ezali alima mpe sembo.
17 "Yet the children of your people say, 'The way of Jehovah is not just': but as for them, their way is not just.
Bandeko na yo bazali koloba: ‹ Nkolo akataka makambo na bosembo te. › Nzokande, nzela na bango moko nde ezalaka mabe.
18 When the righteous turns from his righteousness, and commits iniquity, he shall even die in it.
Soki moto ya sembo atiki boyengebene na ye mpe akomi kosala mabe, akokufa mpo na mabe yango.
19 When the wicked turns from his wickedness, and does that which is lawful and right, he shall live thereby.
Soki moto mabe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima, akobika solo mpo ete asali bongo.
20 Yet you say, 'The way of Jehovah is not just.' House of Israel, I will judge every one of you after his ways."
Oh bino, libota ya Isalaele, ndenge nini bokoki penza koloba: ‹ Nkolo akataka makambo na bosembo te! › Solo, nakosambisa moko na moko kati na bino kolanda etamboli na ye! »
21 It happened in the twelfth year of our captivity, in the tenth month, in the fifth day of the month, that one who had escaped out of Jerusalem came to me, saying, "The city has been struck."
Na mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya zomi na mibale ya bowumbu na biso, moko kati na bato oyo babikaki na Yelusalemi ayaki epai na ngai mpe alobaki: « Babebisi engumba! »
22 Now the hand of Jehovah had been on me in the evening, before he who was escaped came; and he had opened my mouth, until he came to me in the morning; and my mouth was opened, and I was no more mute.
Nzokande, na pokwa, liboso ete moto yango aya epai na ngai, loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai mpe afungolaki monoko na ngai liboso ete moto yango akoma epai na ngai na tongo. Monoko na ngai efungwamaki mpe nakomaki koloba.
23 The word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
24 "Son of man, they who inhabit those waste places in the land of Israel speak, saying, 'Abraham was one, and he inherited the land: but we are many; the land is given us for inheritance.'
« Mwana na moto, bavandi ya bisika oyo ebeba kati na mokili ya Isalaele bazali koloba: ‹ Abrayami azalaki kaka ye moko tango azwaki mokili lokola libula; nzokande biso, tozali ebele; boye, solo, mokili epesameli biso lokola libula! ›
25 Therefore tell them, 'Thus says Jehovah: "You eat with the blood, and lift up your eyes to your idols, and shed blood: and shall you possess the land?
Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Boni, ndenge bozali nanu kolia misuni mpe makila na yango, bongo bozali kotalela banzambe na bino ya bikeko mpe kosopa makila ya bato, bozwa solo mokili lokola libula!
26 You stand on your sword, you work abomination, and every one of you defiles his neighbor's wife: and shall you possess the land?"'
Bozali kotia elikya na mopanga na bino, bozali kosala makambo ya mbindo, mpe moko na moko kati na bino azali kokomisa mbindo mwasi ya moninga na ye, mpe bozwa penza mokili lokola libula! ›
27 "You shall tell them, 'Thus says the Lord Jehovah: "As I live, surely those who are in the waste places shall fall by the sword; and him who is in the open field will I give to the animals to be devoured; and those who are in the strongholds and in the caves shall die of the pestilence.
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na Kombo na Ngai, bato oyo batikali na bisika oyo ebeba bakokufa na mopanga! Ba-oyo bazali na mboka, nakokaba bango epai ya banyama ya zamba mpo ete eboma bango! Mpe ba-oyo babombami kati na bandako batonga makasi mpe kati na madusu ya mabanga bakokufa na bokono oyo ebomaka;
28 I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment; and the pride of her power shall cease; and the mountains of Israel shall be desolate, so that none shall pass through.
nakokomisa mokili libebi mpe nakosala ete etikala lisusu na bato te: nakosukisa lolendo na yango, bangomba ya Isalaele ekotikala lisusu na bato te, mpe bato bakotika kolekela wana.
29 Then shall they know that I am Jehovah, when I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, because of all their abominations which they have committed."'
Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakokomisa mokili libebi mpe esobe, likolo ya makambo na bango nyonso ya mbindo oyo bazali kosala. ›
30 "As for you, son of man, the children of your people talk of you by the walls and in the doors of the houses, and speak one to another, everyone to his brother, saying, 'Please come and hear what is the word that comes forth from Jehovah.'
Mpo na yo, mwana na moto, bandeko na yo bazali kolobana bango na bango na bamir mpe na bikuke ya bandako na bango na tina na kombo na yo: ‹ Boya koyoka maloba oyo ewuti epai na Yawe! ›
31 They come to you as the people come, and they sit before you as my people, and they hear your words, but do not do them; for with their mouth they show much love, but their heart goes after their gain.
Bongo bato na Ngai bayei epai na yo ndenge kaka bayaka tango nyonso mpe bavandi liboso na yo mpo na koyoka maloba na yo, kasi batiaka yango na misala te, pamba te minoko na bango ebimisaka kaka makambo oyo esepelisaka mitema na bango, mpe mitema na bango elukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko.
32 Look, you are to them as a very lovely song of one who has a pleasant voice, and can play well on an instrument; for they hear your words, but they do not do them.
Mpo na bango, ozalaka na yo kaka lokola moto oyo ayembaka malamu banzembo ya kitoko, na mongongo ya kitoko, mpe abetaka mindule kitoko; pamba te bayokaka na bango maloba na yo, kasi batiaka yango na misala te.
33 When this comes to pass, (look, it comes), then shall they know that a prophet has been among them."
Tango makambo oyo nyonso ekokokisama —mpe ekokokisama solo— bakososola penza ete mosakoli moko azalaki kati na bango. »
