Ezekiel 36
1 You human, prophesy about the mountains in Israel. Say to them, “You mountains in Israel, listen to what Yahweh says.
« Mwana na moto, sakola na tina na bangomba ya Isalaele mpe loba: ‹ Bino bangomba ya Isalaele, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
2 This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Your enemies [happily] said about you, ‘Aha! The mountains in Israel that have existed for a long time have become ours!’”
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Moyini alobaki na tina na bino: ‘Ah, bangomba ya kala ekomi sik’oyo ya biso!’ ›
3 Therefore prophesy about those mountains and say, “This is what Yahweh the Lord declares: [Armies of other nations] attacked you [DOU] from every direction, with the result that your land became abandoned, and people of other nations occupied you, and they spoke maliciously about you and slandered you.
Yango wana, sakola! Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola babebisaki bino mpe bapanzaki bino bipai nyonso mpo ete bokoma libula ya bikolo mosusu mpe eloko ya masolo ya kotiola mpe ya kofinga kati na bato;
4 Therefore, you mountains in Israel, listen to this message from me. I, Yahweh the Lord, have something to say to the hills and mountains, to the ravines and valleys, to the deserted ruins and towns whose valuable possessions have been taken and their people ridiculed by the people of other nations around them. This is what I, Yahweh the Lord, declare: I am very angry [DOU] with the people of Edom and other nations; they have forced you [Israeli people] to endure them insulting you.
mpo na yango, bino bangomba ya Isalaele, boyoka liloba na Nkolo Yawe: Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na bangomba ya milayi mpe ya mikuse, na mabulu mpe na mabwaku, na bisika ya libebi mpe na bingumba oyo basundola mpe babebisa, bongo bato ya bikolo mosusu ya zingazinga bayibaki mpe bakomisaki yango eloko ya kotiola;
tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: na zuwa na Ngai ya makasi, natombokeli bikolo oyo etikali mpe mokili mobimba ya Edomi, pamba te na esengo nyonso mpe na mayele mabe kati na mitema na bango, bakomisi mokili na Ngai lokola libula na bango moko mpo ete babotola bilanga na yango nyonso na makasi. ›
Mpo na yango, sakola na tina na mokili ya Isalaele mpe loba na bangomba ya milayi mpe ya mikuse, na mabulu mpe na mabwaku: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nazali koloba na zuwa mpe na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, pamba te bikolo mosusu emonisi bino pasi na kotiola.
7 Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Lifting up my arm, I solemnly declare that the people of the nations that are around you will also endure being insulted.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: nalapi ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete ezali bikolo oyo ezingeli bino nde ekotiolama.
8 But [I say to] you mountains in Israel that huge crops of fruit will grow on your trees for my Israeli people, because they will soon return home [from Babylonia].
Kasi bino, bangomba ya Isalaele, bokobota bitape mpe bambuma mpo na Isalaele, bato na Ngai; pamba te etikali kaka moke ete bazonga epai na bango.
9 I (am concerned about/will take care of) you, and I will bless you. I will [enable farmers to] plow the ground and plant seed there.
Nazali kolandela likambo na bino mpe nazali kotala bino na liso ya ngolu; bakobalola bino lisusu ndenge babalolaka mabele ya bilanga mpe bakolona lisusu bankona na mabele na bino.
10 I will cause the number of people who live on you mountains and everywhere else in Israel to greatly increase. People will live in the towns and rebuild [houses where there are now only] ruins.
Nakokomisa motango ya bato na bino ebele, na mabele na bino: yango nde libota mobimba ya Isalaele; bato bakozongela lisusu kovanda kati na bingumba na bino mpe bakotonga lisusu bandako na bino oyo ebukana.
11 I will cause the number of people and domestic animals to increase. People will have many children [IDM, DOU]. I will enable people to live there like they did previously, and I will enable them to prosper like they did before. Then you will know that it is I, Yahweh, [who have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nakokomisa motango ya bato mpe ya bibwele na bino ebele na mokili na bino: bakobotana mpe bakokoma ebele penza. Nakovandisa lisusu bato na mokili na bino ndenge ezalaka na tango ya kala mpe nakokomisa bino bato ya kofuluka koleka liboso. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
12 I will enable my Israeli people to walk through your mountains. They will own you; you will be their permanent possession. Never again will their children die.
Nakosala ete bato na Ngai, bana ya Isalaele, batambola na mokili na bino; bakozwa mabele na bino mpe bokozala libula na bango; bokotikala lisusu te koboma bana na bango.
13 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say to you: People say that [only a small amount of food is produced on your mountains, and as a result the people of Israel] die from hunger.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola bato balobaka na tina na bino: Bobomaka bato mpe bozangisaka ekolo na bino bana na yango;
14 Therefore, I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that no longer will that happen.
mpo na yango, bokoboma lisusu bato te mpe bokozangisa lisusu ekolo na bino bana te, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
15 No longer will the people of other nations ridicule you; no longer will they laugh at you; no longer will [the armies of] other nations conquer you. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have declared that it will happen.”
Nakosala ete boyoka lisusu kotiolama ya bikolo mosusu te, mpe bato ya bikolo mosusu bakofinga bino lisusu te; na bongo, bokokweyisa lisusu ekolo na bino te, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
16 Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu:
17 “You human, when the Israeli people were living in their own land, they (defiled it/caused it to become unacceptable to me) by the things that they did. I considered that their behavior was [disgusting], like [SIM] the rags/cloths that women use during their monthly menstrual periods.
« Mwana na moto, tango bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kovanda na mokili na bango, bazalaki kokomisa yango mbindo na ezaleli mpe na misala na bango; ezaleli na bango ezalaki mbindo na miso na Ngai lokola makila ya mwasi oyo azali komona sanza na ye.
18 So I severely punished [MTY] them, because they had murdered [MTY] many people and because they had defiled the land by [worshiping] idols there.
Boye, napeliselaki bango kanda na Ngai ya makasi, pamba te bazalaki kotangisa makila kati na mokili mpe bakomisaki yango mbindo na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko.
19 I caused them to be scattered among many nations [DOU]. I punished [MTY] them like they deserved to be punished because of their very evil behavior [DOU].
Napanzaki bango kati na bikolo, mpe bapalanganaki kati na mikili mosusu; nasambisaki bango kolanda etamboli mpe misala na bango.
20 And wherever they went among those nations, they caused my reputation [MTY] to be disgraced. What has happened is that the people in those countries said about the Israeli people, ‘They belong to Yahweh, but they were forced to leave the land that he [gave to them].’
Nzokande, na bisika nyonso oyo bazalaki kokende, babebisaki bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai, pamba te bazalaki koloba na tina na bango: ‹ Bato wana bazali solo bato ya Yawe, kasi tala ndenge batiki mokili na Ye! ›
21 But I was concerned about my reputation, which the people of Israel had disgraced among the nations to which they were forced to go.
Boye, nabatelaki lokumu mpe bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai, oyo libota ya Isalaele babebisaki bosantu na yango kati na bikolo epai wapi bakendeki.
22 Therefore, say to the Israeli people, ‘This is what Yahweh the Lord says: You Israeli people, it is not for your sake that I am going to do these things. Instead, it is for the sake of my sacred reputation, which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go.
Mpo na yango, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh libota ya Isalaele, ezali mpo na bino te nde nazali kosala makambo oyo nyonso, kasi mpo na bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai, oyo bobebisaki kati na bikolo epai wapi bokendeki.
23 I will show that my reputation is sacred, a reputation which you have disgraced among the nations to which you were forced to go. And when I show the nations that I am holy, the people of those nations will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
Nakolakisa bosantu ya Kombo monene na Ngai, oyo esambwaki kati na bikolo, Kombo oyo bobebisaki bosantu na yango kati na bikolo yango. Boye, bikolo ekoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, elobi Nkolo Yawe, tango nakomonisa bosantu na Ngai na nzela na bino na miso na bango.
24 What I will do is to bring you back from those nations. I will gather you from all the countries [to which you were forced to go], and bring you back to your own land.
Pamba te nakobimisa bino na bikolo, nakosangisa bino wuta na bikolo mpe nakozongisa bino na mabele na bino moko.
25 [It will be as though] [MET] I will sprinkle clean water on you, and then you will be clean. I will cause you to be cleansed from everything that has defiled you, and I will cause you to stop worshiping idols.
Nakobwakela bino mayi ya peto, mpe bokokoma peto; nakopetola bino na mbindo na bino nyonso mpe na mbindo ya banzambe na bino nyonso ya bikeko.
26 I will give you a completely new way of thinking [IDM]. I will enable you to stop being stubborn [IDM], and I will enable you to obey me from your inner beings [IDM].
Nakopesa bino motema ya sika mpe nakotia kati na bino molimo ya sika; nakolongola kati na bino mitema ya mabanga mpe nakopesa bino mitema ya misuni.
27 I will put my Spirit within you and enable you to carefully obey all my laws [DOU].
Nakotia Molimo na Ngai kati na bino mpe nakosala ete botosa bikateli na Ngai mpe bobatela mibeko na Ngai na bokebi.
28 You will again live in the land that I gave to your ancestors. You will be my people, and I will be your God.
Bokovanda kati na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bakoko na bino; bokozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai, nakozala Nzambe na bino.
29 I will free you from all your disgraceful behavior. I will cause your grain to be plentiful, and I will not send a famine to you again.
Nakobikisa bino na mbindo na bino nyonso, nakobotisa mbuma ya ble mpe nakokomisa yango ebele penza; bongo nakotindela bino lisusu nzala te.
30 I will cause your fruit trees to produce plenty of fruit and your ground to produce plenty of good crops, with the result that you will no longer be ridiculed by the people of other nations because of your not having enough food.
Nakosala ete banzete mpe milona ya bilanga ebota ebele, mpo ete boyoka lisusu soni te na miso ya bikolo likolo ya nzala.
31 When that happens, you will think about your previous evil behavior and wicked deeds, and you will (be very displeased with/hate) yourselves for your sins and the detestable things that you did.
Boye, tango bokokanisa lisusu etamboli mabe na bino mpe misala na bino ya mabe, bino moko bokomiyina likolo ya masumu mpe ya misala na bino ya nkele.
32 But I, Yahweh the Lord, declare that I want you to know that it is not for your sake that I will do those things. You Israeli people ought to be ashamed of your behavior.
Nalingi bososola ete nazali kosala makambo oyo mpo na bino te, elobi Nkolo Yawe! Oh libota ya Isalaele, boyoka mawa mpe soni mpo na etamboli na bino!
33 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: At the time that I forgive you for all the sins that you have committed, I will enable you to live in your towns again and to build houses where there are now only ruins.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na mokolo oyo nakopetola bino na masumu na bino nyonso, nakosala ete bato bazongela kovanda na bingumba na bino mpe batonga yango lisusu;
34 People who walk through your country will see that your land is again cultivated instead of (being desolate/having nothing growing in it).
nakosala ete basala lisusu bilanga na mabele oyo ekomaki esobe, na esika ete etikala pamba na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bakoleka wana.
35 They will say, “This land that was ruined has become [very fertile/productive] like [SIM] the garden of Eden! The cities that were piles of ruins, empty and destroyed, now have walls around them, and people live in those cities.”
Bongo, bakoloba: ‘Mokili oyo ebebisamaki ekomi lokola elanga ya Edeni; bingumba oyo babuka, bongo etikala lisusu na bato te mpe babebisa, elendisami lisusu mpe bato bakomi lisusu kovanda kuna.’
36 When that happens, the people in the nations that are around you that still exist will know that it is I, Yahweh, who have enabled you to rebuild what was destroyed, and to again plant crops in the fields that had nothing growing in them. I, Yahweh, have said [that it will happen], and I will cause it to happen.
Boye, bikolo oyo ekotikala zingazinga na bino ekoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe; Ngai nde natongi lisusu bingumba oyo ebukana, mpe naloni lisusu biloko oyo ebebisama. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi mpe nakokokisa yango. ›
37 This is also what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: Again I will heed what you Israeli people are pleading for me to do for you. I will cause your people to be as numerous as your sheep,
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na mbala oyo lisusu, nakosala ete libota ya Isalaele eluka Ngai mpo ete natalisa bango ngolu na Ngai: nakosala ete bato na yango bakoma ebele lokola bibwele.
38 as numerous as the flocks of sheep that will be needed for offerings in Jerusalem during your regular festivals. The cities that are now ruined will be filled with people, and then you will know that I, Yahweh the Lord, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].’”
Bingumba oyo ebebisama ekotonda lisusu na bato ebele lokola bibwele oyo bapesaka na mbeka, lokola bibwele oyo bamemaka na Yelusalemi na tango ya bafeti oyo ekatama. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »
