< Ezekiel 43 >

1 Then he brought me to the gate, even to the gate that looketh toward the east.
Moto yango amemaki ngai kino na ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya este,
2 And behold, the glory of the God of Israel came from the east; and the sound thereof was as the sound of great waters, and the earth shone with his glory.
mpe namonaki nkembo na Nzambe ya Isalaele koya wuta na ngambo ya este. Mongongo na Ye ezalaki lokola makelele ya mayi minene, mpe mokili ekomaki kongenga na nkembo na Ye.
3 And the appearance was like the vision which I saw, like the vision which I saw when I came to destroy the city; it was a vision like the vision which I saw at the river Chebar. And I fell upon my face.
Emoniseli oyo namonaki ezalaki ndenge moko na oyo namonaki tango ayaki kobebisa engumba, mpe ndenge moko na oyo namonaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari. Boye, nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
4 And the glory of Jehovah came into the house by way of the gate, whose prospect was toward the east.
Nkembo na Yawe ekotaki kati na Tempelo na nzela ya ekuke oyo etala na ngambo ya este.
5 Then the spirit took me up and brought me into the inner court; and behold, the glory of Jehovah filled the house.
Bongo, Molimo atombolaki ngai mpe amemaki ngai kino na lopango ya kati, mpe nkembo na Yawe etondisaki Tempelo.
6 And I heard one speaking to me out of the house, and a man was standing by me.
Tango moto yango atelemaki pene na ngai, nayokaki mongongo ya moto koloba na ngai wuta na kati ya Tempelo.
7 And he said to me: Son of man, this is the place of my throne, and the place of the soles of my feet, where I will dwell in the midst of the sons of Israel forever; and the house of Israel shall no more pollute my holy name, neither they nor their kings, by their fornication, and by the dead bodies of their kings in their sepulchres;
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, ezali awa nde kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi ezalaka, esika oyo natiaka makolo na Ngai. Ezali na esika oyo nde nakovanda mpo na libela kati na bana ya Isalaele. Libota ya Isalaele ekotikala lisusu te kokomisa Kombo na Ngai mbindo, ezala bango to bakonzi na bango, na nzela ya kindumba na bango mpe ya banzambe ya bikeko ya bakonzi na bango, oyo ezanga bomoi na likolo ya bisambelo na bango ya likolo ya bangomba.
8 in that they set their threshold by my threshold, and their post near my post, so that there was only a wall between me and them, and defiled my holy name by the abominations which they committed; wherefore I have consumed them in my anger.
Tango batiaki bikotelo na bango pene ya ekotelo na Ngai, mabaya oyo esimbaka bikuke na bango pene ya mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke na Ngai, bongo mir moko kaka nde ekabolaki bango na Ngai, babebisaki nde bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai na nzela ya misala na bango ya mbindo; yango wana, Ngai mpe nabebisaki bango na kanda na Ngai.
9 Now let them remove far away from me their fornication, and the carcasses of their kings; and I will dwell in the midst of them forever.
Sik’oyo, tika ete balongola na miso na Ngai kindumba na bango mpe banzambe ya bikeko ya bakonzi na bango, oyo ezanga bomoi, mpe Ngai nakovanda kati na bango mpo na libela.
10 And thou, son of man, show this house to the house of Israel, that they may be ashamed of their iniquities, and that they may measure the pattern.
Mwana na moto, lakisa epai ya libota ya Isalaele ndenge Tempelo ezali mpo ete bayoka soni mpo na masumu na bango; mpe tika ete bameka molayi mpe mokuse na yango.
11 And if they be ashamed of all which they have done, let them know the form of the house and the fashion thereof, and the passages for going out and coming in, and all the forms thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and all the laws thereof, and write it in their sight, that they may keep the whole form thereof, and all the statutes thereof, and do them.
Soki bayoki penza soni mpo na makambo nyonso oyo basalaki, lakisa bango ndenge nini Tempelo ezali: ndenge basalela yango, bikuke mpe bikotelo na yango, ndenge batambolisaka yango, mibeko nini balandaka mpe ndenge nini basalaka losambo; koma yango, na miso na bango, mpo ete bakoka kolandela yango mpe kotia yango na misala.
12 This is the law of the house. Upon the top of the mountain, all within its limits shall be most holy. Behold, this is the law of the house.
Tala mobeko oyo etali Tempelo: bisika nyonso oyo ezali zingazinga ya likolo ya ngomba ekozala bule koleka. Yango nde mobeko oyo etali Tempelo.
13 And these are the measures of the altar by cubits; each cubit being a cubit and a hand-breadth. The bottom shall be a cubit high and a cubit broad; and the border thereof, by the edge thereof round about, shall be a span; and this shall be the outer part of the altar.
Tala molayi mpe mokuse ya etumbelo na bametele: zingazinga ya se ya etumbelo ezalaki na libulu moko ya bozindo ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano, mpe ndenge moko na mokuse na yango; bazingelaki yango na eloko moko evimba ya basantimetele pene mwambe. Etumbelo ezalaki,
14 And from the bottom upon the ground to the lower ledge shall be two cubits, and the breadth one cubit; and from the lesser ledge to the greater ledge shall be four cubits, and the breadth a cubit.
longwa na se ya mabele kino na moboko, na metele pene moko na bosanda mpe basantimetele pene tuku mitano na mokuse; kobanda na moboko ya moke kino na moboko ya monene, bametele pene mibale na bosanda mpe basantimetele pene tuku mitano na mokuse.
15 And the altar shall be four cubits; and from the altar upward shall be four horns.
Etumbelo ezalaki na bametele pene mibale na bosanda, mpe maseke minei ezalaki likolo na yango.
16 And the altar shall be twelve cubits long by twelve broad; square on the four sides thereof.
Likolo ya etumbelo ezalaki ndenge moko na molayi mpe na mokuse, na bangambo na yango nyonso: bametele pene motoba.
17 And the ledge shall be fourteen cubits long by fourteen broad on the four sides thereof; and the border about it shall be half a cubit; and the bottom thereof shall be a cubit round about; and its steps shall look toward the east.
Moboko ya monene ezalaki ekokana na molayi mpe na mokuse, na bangambo na yango nyonso: bametele pene sambo. Eloko moko evimba ya basantimetele pene tuku mibale na mitano ezalaki zingazinga na yango. Mpe libulu moko ya basantimetele pene tuku mitano na bozindo ezalaki zingazinga na yango; mpe binyatelo ya etumbelo ezalaki na ngambo ya este. »
18 And he said to me, Son of man, thus saith the Lord Jehovah: These are the statutes of the altar, in the day when it is made, to offer burnt-offerings thereon, and to sprinkle blood thereon.
Bongo alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Tala mibeko ya etumbelo, oyo bakosalela tango bakotonga yango mpo na kobonza mbeka ya kotumba, makabo mpe kosopela yango makila.
19 To the priests, the sons of Levi, of the race of Zadok, that come near to me, saith the Lord Jehovah, to minister to me, thou shalt give a young bullock for a sin-offering.
Okopesa mwana ngombe ya mobali lokola mbeka ya masumu epai ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi ya libota ya Tsadoki mpe babelemaka liboso na Ngai mpo na kosalela Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
20 And thou shalt take of the blood thereof, and put it on its four horns, and on the four corners of the ledge, and on the border round about, and thus cleanse and purge it.
okokamata ndambo ya makila na yango mpe okotia yango na maseke minei ya etumbelo mpe na basonge minei ya moboko ya likolo mpe zingazinga ya eloko oyo evimba. Na bongo, okopetola etumbelo mpe okosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na yango.
21 And thou shalt take the bullock of the sin-offering, and it shall be burned in the appointed place of the house, without the sanctuary.
Okokamata ngombe ya mobali mpo na mbeka ya masumu mpe okotumba yango na esika oyo babongisa na Tempelo mpo na yango, na libanda ya Esika ya bule.
22 And on the second day thou shalt offer a he-goat without blemish for a sin-offering; and they shall cleanse the altar, as they cleansed it with the bullock.
Na mokolo ya mibale, okobonza ntaba moko ya mobali oyo ezanga mbeba lokola mbeka ya masumu; boye, etumbelo ekokoma peto ndenge ekomaki peto na nzela ya ngombe ya mobali.
23 And when thou hast made an end of cleansing it, thou shalt offer a young bullock without blemish, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Tango okosilisa kopetola yango, okobonza mwana ngombe ya mobali mpe meme ya mobali oyo ezanga mbeba, oyo ewuti kati na etonga ya bibwele.
24 And thou shalt offer them before Jehovah, and the priests shall cast salt upon them, and offer them up for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
Okobonza yango liboso ya Yawe; bongo, Banganga-Nzambe bakobwakela yango mungwa mpe bakobonza yango lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai na Yawe.
25 Seven days shalt thou sacrifice daily a goat for a sin-offering; they shall also sacrifice a young bullock, and a ram out of the flock without blemish.
Mikolo sambo, okobanda kobonza, mokolo na mokolo, ntaba moko ya mobali lokola mbeka ya masumu; okobonza lisusu mwana ngombe moko ya mobali mpe meme moko ya mobali ezanga mbeba, oyo ewuti kati na etonga ya bibwele.
26 Seven days shall they purge the altar, and purify it, and consecrate themselves.
Bakosala mosala ya bolimbisi masumu mpo na etumbelo mpe kopetola yango mikolo sambo; bongo nde bakopetola mpe bakobulisa yango.
27 And when they have finished these days, it shall be that on the eighth day and forward the priests shall present your burnt-offerings and your thank-offerings upon the altar, and I will accept you, saith the Lord Jehovah.
Na suka ya mikolo yango, kobanda na mokolo ya mwambe kino na mikolo oyo ekolanda, Banganga-Nzambe bakobonza na etumbelo bambeka na bino ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani, mpe Ngai, nakoyamba bino, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
