Ezekiel 35
1 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 “You human, turn toward Edom and prophesy what will happen to its people. Say that this is what Yahweh says to them:
« Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo na ngambo ya ngomba Seiri mpe sakola mpo na kotelemela yango!
3 ‘You who live near Seir Mountain [in Edom], I am opposed to you, and I will use my power [MTY] to strike you and cause your country to become a wasteland.
Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Natombokeli yo, ngomba Seiri! Nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kotelemela yo mpe nakokomisa yo esobe mpe mokili oyo ezanga bato.
4 I will cause your country to be ruined and desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nakobebisa bingumba na yo, mpe okotikala lisusu na bato te; boye, okoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
5 You have always been enemies of the Israeli people. You [rejoiced] when they experienced a great disaster: [their enemies attacked them with] swords, when I punished them [for the sins that they had committed].
Lokola obokolaka tango nyonso koyina bana ya Isalaele kati na motema na yo mpe obomisaki bango na mopanga tango bazalaki na pasi makasi, na tango oyo bazwaki etumbu mpo na masumu na bango,
6 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will allow [your enemies] to slaughter [MTY] you and continue to slaughter you. You were happy when [LIT] others were slaughtered;
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, nakosopa makila na yo, mpe makila ekolanda yo. Lokola ozalaki na somo te ya kosopa makila, makila ekolanda yo.
7 so I will cause Seir Mountain to be abandoned/deserted, and I will get rid of anyone who enters it or leaves it.
Nakokomisa ngomba Seiri esika oyo ebebisama nye mpe ezanga bato; mpe nakoboma kuna bato nyonso oyo bakoluka kokende mpe kozonga.
8 I will cause your mountains to be filled with [the corpses of] those who have been killed. The corpses of those who have been killed by [your enemies’] swords will lie on your hills and in your valleys and in all your ravines.
Nakotondisa bangomba na yango nyonso na bibembe; bato nyonso oyo bakokufa na mopanga bakokweya na bangomba na yo ya mike, kati na mabwaku na yo mpe na se ya bangomba na yo nyonso.
9 I will cause your land to be deserted forever. No one will live in your towns again. When that happens, you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nakokomisa yo esobe mpo na libela, bingumba na yo ekozala lisusu na bato te; boye bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
10 You people said, “Israel and Judah will become ours. We will take over their territory!” You said that even though I, Yahweh, was still there [and protecting them].
Mpo ete olobaki: ‘Mikili oyo mibale, Isalaele mpe Yuda, elongo na bikolo na yango ekokoma ya ngai, mpe nakozwa yango,’ atako Yawe azalaki kuna;
11 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that as surely as I am alive, I will punish [MTY] you for being angry with my people, envying them, and hating them.
mpo na yango, na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, nakopesa yo etumbu kolanda kanda mpe zuwa na yo, oyo olakisaki mpo na kosala bango mabe mpo ete oyinaki bango; mpe Ngai moko, nakosala ete bayeba Ngai tango nakosambisa yo.
12 Then you will know that I, Yahweh, have heard all the disgusting things that you have said about the mountains in Israel. You said that they have been ruined/devastated, and that they have been given to you to occupy [MET].
Boye, okoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe, nayokaki maloba nyonso ya kotiola oyo olobaki na tina na bangomba ya Isalaele. Olobaki: ‘Tala, bangomba ebebisami! Bakabeli biso yango lokola nyama ya kolia!’
13 When you insulted me, I heard all that you said about me.
Botelemelaki Ngai mpe bolobaki na Ngai na maloba ya lolendo; nayokaki yango Ngai moko.
14 So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: You people who live on Seir Mountain and in all the other places in Edom, when I cause your land to become desolate, everyone in the entire world will rejoice.
Boye, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Tango mokili mobimba ekozala na esengo, Ngai nakobebisa yo.
15 You were happy when the land [MTY] of the Israeli people became desolate, so I will cause your land to become desolate. When that happens, people will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Mpo ete osepelaki na kobebisama ya libula ya Isalaele, nakosala yo mpe kaka ndenge wana: ngomba Seiri, okobebisama elongo na Edomi mobimba; boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
