Ezekiel 21
1 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 Son of man Set thy face against Jerusalem, And drop thy word against the holy places And prophesy against the soil of Israel.
« Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi, loba mpo na kotelemela bisika ya bule mpe sakola mpo na kotelemela Isalaele.
3 Thou shalt say then to the soil of Israel Thus saith Yahweh, Behold me against thee, Therefore will I bring forth my sword out of its sheath, —and will cut off from thee the righteous and the lawless.
Loba na mokili ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Natombokeli yo, nakobimisa mopanga na Ngai na ebombelo na yango mpe nakoboma bato, kati na mokili na yo, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe.
4 Because I have cut off from thee the righteous and the lawless, Therefore shall my sword go forth out of its sheath against all flesh from south to north:
Mpo ete nakoboma bato ya sembo mpe ya mabe, mopanga na Ngai ekobima na ebombelo na yango mpo na koboma moto nyonso, wuta na sude kino na nor.
5 So shall all flesh know that, I, Yahweh have brought forth my sword out of its sheath, — it shall not return any more.
Boye, bato nyonso bakososola ete Ngai Yawe nde nabimisi mopanga na Ngai wuta na ebombelo na yango, mpe ekozonga lisusu te. ›
6 Thou, therefore O son of man sigh, — In the sharp pain of thy loins and in bitterness, shalt thou sigh before their eyes.
Yango wana, mwana na moto, lela! Kende kolela liboso na bango, na motema oyo ebukani mpe ya mawa.
7 And it shall come to pass when they shall say unto thee, Wherefore art thou sighing? that thou shalt say, For the report because it cometh, When every heart shall melt. And all hands be unnerved And every spirit shall become faint. And all knees shall be weak as water, Lo! it cometh and shall be brought to pass, Saith My Lord, Yahweh.
Soki batuni yo: ‹ Mpo na nini ozali kolela? › Okozongisela bango: ‹ Ezali mpo na sango oyo ezali koya. › Mitema mpe maboko nyonso ekolemba lokola mayi, bato nyonso bakomitungisa mpe mabolongo nyonso ekolenga. Sango yango ezali koya; solo ekosalema, elobi Nkolo Yawe! »
8 And the word of Yahweh came unto me. saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
9 Son of man, Prophesy and thou shalt say, Thus saith My Lord, — Say, A sword! a sword! Sharpened moreover also furbished:
« Mwana na moto, sakola. Loba: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Mopanga, mopanga! Bangalisi mpe bapelisi yango!
10 To make a slaughter, is it sharpened, That it may flash as lightning, is it furbished. Or shall we flourish the royal rod of my son which despiseth every tree?
Bapelisi yango mpo na koboma, bangalisi yango mpo na kobimisa mikalikali! Boni, tosepela kaka na lingenda ya bokonzi ya mwana na ngai ya mobali? Mopanga ya mwana na ngai esambwisaka banzete nyonso.
11 It hath. however been given to be furbished that it may be grasped by the hand: The same is a sword sharpened. Yea the same, is furbished, Ready to be given into the hand of the slayer.
Mopanga epesami mpo ete bangalisa yango, mpo ete basimba yango na loboko; bangalisi yango mpe bapelisi yango mpo ete mobomi asalela yango.
12 Make an outcry and howl son of man, For the same hath come against my people, the same is against all the princes of Israel, - Who are thrown to the sword with my people, Therefore smite thou upon thy thigh.
Mwana na moto, ganga mpe lela makasi! Pamba te mopanga ebimi mpo na koboma bato na ngai, mpo na koboma bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele; babongisami mpo na kokufa na mopanga elongo na bato na ngai. Yango wana, beta tolo na yo!
13 For trial hath been made, What then, even though the royal rod despiseth, shall it not be? Demandeth My Lord. Yahweh.
Komekama ekoya penza; mpe likambo nini ekosalema soki lingenda ya bokonzi, oyo mopanga esili kotiola, etikali lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe? ›
14 Thou, therefore, son of man, Prophesy, and smite thy hands together, And let the sword smite twice thrice the sword of the slain! the same is the great sword of the slain, that which hemmeth them in.
Boye mwana na moto, sakola mpe beta maboko na yo! Tika ete mopanga eboma mbala mibale to mbala misato! Ezali mopanga oyo ebomaka; ezali solo mopanga oyo ebomaka mingi, mopanga oyo ezingeli bango bisika nyonso.
15 That the heart may melt And the overthrow be multiplied at all their gates, I have recompensed a slaying by the sword: Surely it hath been made ready to flash like lightning, keen for slaughter.
Mpo ete mitema na bango ekoka kolenga mpe bakufi bazala ebele, nasili kotia mopanga oyo ebomaka na bikuke nyonso ya bingumba na bango. Tala, bangalisi yango mpo ete epela lokola mikalikali; basimbi yango mpo na koboma!
16 One firm stroke to the right. Turn to the left, - Whithersoever thine edge is directed,
Oh mopanga, beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi; beta na esika nyonso oyo minu na yo etali!
17 Yea even I myself, will smite my hands together, And will cause mine indignation to find rest, — I Yahweh, have spoken.
Ngai mpe, nakobeta maboko na Ngai; mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi ekokita. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. »
18 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
19 Thou, therefore son of man. Appoint thee two ways For the sword of the king of Babylon to enter, Out of one land shall those two ways come, — And a hand, engrave thou, At the head of the way to the city, engrave it.;
« Mwana na moto, sala banzela mibale oyo mopanga ya mokonzi ya Babiloni ekoki kolekela; banzela nyonso mibale ebimela na mokili moko. Na ekotelo ya nzela moko na moko, tia elembo oyo ekolakisa nzela ya engumba.
20 A way, shalt thou appoint, for the sword to enter. Even to Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, — And to Judah against Jerusalem, the defenced,
Sala nzela moko mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Raba, engumba ya bato ya Amoni, mpe nzela mosusu mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Yelusalemi, engumba batonga makasi, kati na Yuda.
21 For the king of Babylon, hath come to a stand, At the parting of the way At the head of the two ways To divine a divination: He hath shaken with arrows He hath asked of the household gods, He hath inspected the liver.
Pamba te mokonzi ya Babiloni akotelema na esika oyo banzela mibale ekutana mpo na kosala makambo ya soloka, akobeta zeke na koningisa makonga ya mike, akotuna banzambe na ye ya bikeko mpe akotala mabale ya banyama.
22 On his right hand, hath come the divination—Jerusalem! To plant battering-rams To open a hole by breach To lift up the voice with a war-shout, — To plant battering-rams against the gates, To cast up an earth-work To build a siege-wall.
Zeke oyo ekotalisa Yelusalemi ezali kati na loboko na ye ya mobali: kuna na Yelusalemi, akopesa mitindo ya koboma, akobeta mololo ya bitumba, akotia bashar ya bitumba liboso ya bikuke ya engumba, akotonga bamir ya zelo mpe akotimola mabulu ya kobombamela.
23 Though it will become to them a veritably false divination in their eyes, even when bound by oaths to them Yet, he, calling to mind iniquity, [will determine] that it shall be captured.
Kasi lokola basilaki kolapa ndayi ete bakotosa ye, bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomona yango lokola bimoniseli ya pamba mpe ya lokuta. Kasi mokonzi ya Babiloni akosala ete bakanisa lisusu mabe na bango, mpe akomema bango na bowumbu.
24 Therefore Thus saith My Lord. Yahweh, Because ye have brought to mind your iniquity, by revealing your transgressions causing your sins to appear in all your doings, - Because ye have brought yourselves to mind By force shall ye be captured.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola mabe na bino ezongeli bino na makanisi, lokola bolakisi Ngai na polele botomboki na bino mpe bomonisi masumu na bino kati na misala na bino nyonso; lokola bosali bongo, bokokende na bowumbu.
25 Thou therefore, O profane, lawless one, prince of Israel, - Whose day hath come, in a time of final iniquity:
Yo mokambi ya Isalaele, moto ya mbindo mpe moto mabe, mikolo ezali koya, tango na yo ya etumbu, mpo na kosukisa mabe na yo!
26 Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, Remove the turban, And lift off the crown, — This not that, The abased, exalt, And the exalted, abase.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Longola ye eteni ya elamba ya moto, longola ye motole! Makambo ekobongwana, ekozala lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso! Bato oyo bakitisama bakotombwama, mpe ba-oyo batombwama bakokitisama.
27 An overthrow overthrow overthrow, will I make it, — Even this, hath not befallen until the coming of One to whom belongeth the right Then will I bestow it.
Libebi! Libebi! Nakokomisa yango libebi. Ekotikala kobonga lisusu te kino tango moto oyo akopesa etumbu, oyo nakopesa ye makoki mpo na yango, akoya. ›
28 Thou, therefore, son of man Prophesy and say, thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh, As to the sons of Ammon and as to their reproach Yea thou shalt say. A sword! a sword! Drawn for slaughter, Furbished, that when it beginneth, it may flash like lightning;
Mpe yo, mwana na moto, sakola mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na tina na bato ya Amoni mpe mafinga na bango: Mopanga, babimisi mopanga mpo na koboma, bapelisi yango mpo na koboma mpe mpo na kongenga lokola mikalikali!
29 Since they see for thee, false visions, Since they divine for thee lies, To stretch thee upon the necks of them who are the most profaned of lawless ones, Whose day hath come, in a time of final iniquity,
Atako bapesaki yo bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta, mopanga ekokata bakingo ya bato ya mbindo oyo mokolo ya suka mpo na mabe na bango esili kokoka.
30 Put it back into its sheath! In the place where thou wast created In the land of thy nativity, will I judge thee
Zongisa mopanga na ebombelo na yango. Nakosambisa yo na esika oyo okelamaki, na mokili ya bakoko na yo.
31 Then will I pour out upon thee mine indignation, With the fire of mine outburst, will I blow upon thee; and will deliver thee up into the hand of brutish men, skilled to destroy.
Nakokitisela yo kanda na Ngai ya makasi mpe nakofula yo moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakokaba yo na maboko ya bato ya mobulu oyo babebisaka.
32 For the fire, shalt thou serve as fuel, Thy blood shall be in the midst of the land, - Thou shalt not be remembered, For I, Yahweh, have spoken.
Okozika na moto, makila na yo ekopanzana kaka na mokili na yo mpe bakokanisa yo lisusu te; pamba te Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. › »
