Ezekiel 33
1 And the word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 Son of man Speak unto the sons of thy people and thou shalt say unto them, A land—when I bring upon it a sword, And the people of the land shall take one man out of their whole number, and appoint him for them, as 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 And he shall see the sword coming upon the land, —and shall blow with the horn and warn the people
soki mokengeli yango amoni banguna koya kobundisa mokili na bango mpe abeti kelelo mpo na kokebisa bato.
4 Then as for him who really heard the sound of the horn and took not warning, The sword indeed hath come and taken him away, — His blood, upon his own head shall remain: —
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 The sound of the horn, he heard, but took not warning, His blood, upon himself shall remain, — Whereas had he taken warning, his own soul, he should have delivered.
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 as for the watchman-When he seeth the sword coming. And hath not blown with the horn. And the people, have not been warned, And the sword, hath come and taken away from among them any person he, for his iniquity, hath been taken away, But his blood at the hand of the watchman will I require.
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 Thou therefore Son of man, A watchman, have I appointed thee, to the house of Israel, So then thou shalt hear at my mouth a message, and shalt warn them 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 say to the lawless man O lawless man thou shalt surely die, And thou have not spoken to warn the lawless man from his way He the lawless man for his iniquity shall die, But his blood- at thy hand- will I demand.
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 But as for thyself When thou hast warned a lawless man from his way, to turn therefrom, And he hath not turned from his way He, for his own iniquity shall die, But thou hast delivered thine own life,
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 Thou, therefore, Son of man, Say unto the house of Israel, Thus, have ye spoken saying: When our transgressions and our sins are upon us, —and for them, we are melting away 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 Say unto them, As I live, Declareth My Lord Yahweh, Surely, I can take no pleasure in the death of the lawless man, But that the lawless man turn from his way, and live, - Turn ye, turn ye, from your wicked ways, For wherefore should ye die. O 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 Thou, therefore, Son of man Say unto the sons of thy people— The righteousness of the righteous man, shall not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And as for the lawlessness of the lawless man, He shall not stumble thereby, in the day of his return from his lawlessness, - Nor shall the righteous man be able to live thereby, in the day of his sin.
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 of the righteous man He shall surely live but he hath trusted in his righteousness and committed perversity None of his righteous deeds shall be mentioned, But by his perversity which he hath committed—thereby, shall he die.
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 And when I say to the lawless man Thou shalt surely die, but he shall turn from his sin, and do justice and righteousness:
Soki nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Okokufa solo; › kasi atiki masumu na ye mpe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima,
15 The debt-pledge, the lawless man shall restore Plunder, shall pay back, In the statutes of life, hath walked, so as not to commit perversity. 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 which he hath committed shall be called to mind against him, — Justice and righteousness, hath he done He shall surely live.
Mabe nyonso oyo asalaki ekotangama lisusu te, akobika solo; pamba te asali oyo ezali alima mpe sembo.
17 And can the sons of thy people say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Nay! but as for them, their way will not be equal!
Bandeko na yo bazali koloba: ‹ Nkolo akataka makambo na bosembo te. › Nzokande, nzela na bango moko nde ezalaka mabe.
18 When the righteous man shall turn from his righteousness and commit perversity Then shall he die for them;
Soki moto ya sembo atiki boyengebene na ye mpe akomi kosala mabe, akokufa mpo na mabe yango.
19 But when the lawless man shall turn from his lawlessness, and do justice and righteousness Upon them, shall he live.
Soki moto mabe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima, akobika solo mpo ete asali bongo.
20 And can ye then say, The way of The Lord will not be equal? Every man—according to his own ways so will I judge you O house of Israel?
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 And it came to pass in the twelfth year, in the tenth month on the fifth of the month of our exile, that there came unto me one that had escaped out of Jerusalem saying. Smitten is the city!
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 Yahweh, had come unto me in the evening, before the coming of him who had escaped, and he had opened my mouth, by the time that he came to me in the morning, —so my mouth, was opened, and I was dumb no longer.
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 Then came the word of Yahweh unto me saying:
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
24 Son of man These inhabitants of waste places on the soil of Israel are saying thus, One, was Abraham. Yet he inherited the land, - But, we, are many, To us, is the land given as an 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 Wherefore say unto them Thus, saith My Lord. Yahweh. -With the blood, ye do eat. And your eyes, ye do lift up unto your manufactured gods. And blood, ye do shed; And the land, shall ye inherit?
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 Ye men have taken your stand by your sword. Ye women have wrought abomination, And every man—with the wife of his neighbour, have ye defiled yourselves; And the land, shall ye inherit?
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 Thus shalt thou say unto them, Thus saith My Lord Yahweh, As I live, surely, they who are in the waste places by the sword, shall fall, And him who is on the face of the field to the wild beast, have I given to be devoured, - And they who are in the mountain holds and in the pits: by pestilence, shall die;
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 And I will make the land a desolation and an astonishment, So shall be made to cease the pride of her strength, - And the mountains of Israel shall be too desolate for any to 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 So shall they know that I, am Yahweh, — When I make 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 Thou therefore Son of man, the sons of thy people who are talking against thee Near the walls and in the entrances of the houses, are speaking one with another, every man with his brother saying. Come in we pray you and heat, what is the word that is coming forth from Yahweh;
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 That they may come unto thee as people do come And may sit before thee as my people, And they will hear thy words, But, the words themselves, will they not do, — though fond with their mouths, they seem to be, After their unjust gain, their heart is going.
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 And lo! thou art to them— As a bewitching song, Of one with a beautiful voice. And skilfully touching the strings, —So will they hear thy words, And yet be going to do none of 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 But when it cometh Lo! it is coming, Then shall they know that a prophet hath been in their midst.
Tango makambo oyo nyonso ekokokisama —mpe ekokokisama solo— bakososola penza ete mosakoli moko azalaki kati na bango. »
