Ezekiel 2
1 He said to me, "Son of man, stand on your feet, and I will speak with you."
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, telema na makolo na yo; pamba te nazali na likambo ya koyebisa yo. »
2 The Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me, and set me on my feet; and I heard him who spoke to me.
Wana azalaki nanu koloba, Molimo akotaki kati na ngai mpe atelemisaki ngai na makolo na ngai; bongo nakomaki koyoka Ye koloba na ngai.
3 He said to me, "Son of man, I send you to the house of Israel, to a nation of rebels who have rebelled against me. They and their fathers have transgressed against me even to this very day.
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, nazali kotinda yo epai ya bana ya Isalaele, ekolo ya bato ya mito makasi, bato oyo batombokelaka ngai. Wuta kala kino na mokolo ya lelo, bango mpe batata na bango batombokelaka kaka ngai.
4 The children are obstinate and hardhearted. I am sending you to them, and you shall tell them, 'Thus says the LORD.'
Bato oyo epai wapi nazali kotinda yo, bazali mito makasi mpe mitema mabanga. Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi. ›
5 They, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear, (for they are a rebellious house), yet shall know that there has been a prophet among them.
Boye, ezala bayokeli yo to baboyi koyokela yo, mpo ete bazali libota ya batomboki, bakososola solo ete mosakoli moko azali kati na bango.
6 You, son of man, do not be afraid of them, neither be afraid of their words, though briers and thorns are with you, and you do dwell among scorpions: do not be afraid of their words, nor be dismayed at their looks, though they are a rebellious house.
Bongo yo, mwana na moto, kobanga bango te mpe kobanga maloba na bango te, atako banzube mpe basende ezingeli yo mpe ozali kovanda elongo na koto. Kozala na somo ya makambo oyo bazali koloba te mpe kolenga liboso na bango te atako bazali batomboki.
7 You shall speak my words to them, whether they will hear, or whether they will forbear; for they are most rebellious.
Osengeli koyebisa bango maloba na ngai, ezala bayokeli yo to bayokeli yo te, mpo ete bazali batomboki.
8 But you, son of man, hear what I tell you; do not be rebellious like that rebellious house: open your mouth, and eat that which I give you."
Kasi yo, mwana na moto, yoka makambo oyo nazali koloba na yo. Kotombokela ngai te lokola libota ya batomboki oyo! Fungola monoko na yo mpe lia oyo nazali kopesa yo! »
9 When I looked, look, a hand was put forth to me; and, look, a written scroll was in it.
Bongo natalaki mpe namonaki loboko moko esembolama kino epai na ngai mpe esimbaki mokanda lokola buku elingama.
10 He spread it before me: and it was written within and without; and there were written in it lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
Loboko yango efungolaki mokanda yango liboso na ngai. Na bangambo na yango nyonso mibale, bakomaki: basango ya bileli, ya mikakatano mpe ya pasi.
