< Ezekiel 23 >

1 The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 “Son of man, there were two women, daughters of the same mother.
« Mwana na moto, ezalaki na basi mibale, bana ya mama moko.
3 They acted as prostitutes in Egypt in the time of their youth. They acted as prostitutes there. Their breasts were squeezed and their virgin nipples were fondled there.
Bakomaki na kindumba mpe bamipesaki na yango wuta bolenge na bango, na Ejipito. Kuna, bato bazalaki kosakana na mabele na bango mpe kosimbasimba tolo na bango ya bolenge.
4 Their names were Oholah—the older sister—and Oholibah—her younger sister. Then they became mine and bore sons and daughters. Their names mean this: Oholah means Samaria, and Oholibah means Jerusalem.
Oyo ya kulutu, kombo na ye ezalaki Ohola; mpe oyo ya leki, kombo na ye ezalaki Oholiba: bazalaki basi na Ngai mpe babotaki bana mibali mpe bana basi. Ohola azali Samari mpe Oholiba azali Yelusalemi.
5 But Oholah acted as a prostitute even when she was mine; she lusted for her lovers, for the Assyrians who were dominant,
Ohola amipesaki na kindumba tango azalaki nanu ya Ngai mpe akufelaki kolinga bamakangu na ye, bato ya Asiri, bilombe ya bitumba
6 the governor who wore blue, and for his officials, who were strong and handsome, all of them men riding on horses.
oyo balataka bilamba ya lokumu ya langi ya ble, bayangeli mpe bakonzi ya basoda; bango nyonso bazalaki bilenge mibali ya kitoko oyo bayebaki malamu kotambola na bampunda.
7 So she gave herself as a prostitute to them, to all the best of Assyria's men, and she made herself unclean with everyone she lusted for—and with all their idols.
Ye moko alakisaki polele kindumba na ye epai ya bato ya lokumu ya Asiri mpe amikomisaki mbindo na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko nyonso, ya moto nyonso oyo ye azalaki kokufela na bolingo.
8 For she had not left her prostitute behavior behind in Egypt, when they had slept with her when she had been a young girl, when they first began to fondle her virgin breasts, when they first began to pour out their promiscuous behavior on her.
Atikaki te kindumba na ye oyo abandaki na Ejipito, oyo na tango ya bolenge na ye, mibali bazalaki kosangisa na ye nzoto, kosimbasimba tolo na ye ya bolenge mpe kosilisa baposa na bango ya nzoto epai na ye.
9 Therefore I gave her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians for whom she lusted.
Yango wana nakabaki ye na maboko ya bamakangu na ye, bato ya Asiri, oyo azalaki kokufela.
10 They uncovered her nakedness, took her sons and daughters, killed her with the sword, and she became notorious among other women, so they executed judgment on her.
Batikaki ye bolumbu, bakendeki na bana na ye ya mibali mpe ya basi, mpe babomaki ye na mopanga. Akomaki lokola ndakisa mpo na basi mosusu, pamba te azwaki etumbu.
11 Her sister Oholibah saw this, but she lusted even more passionately and acted like a prostitute even more than her sister.
Ndeko na ye ya mwasi, Oholiba, amonaki makambo oyo nyonso; kasi lokola posa ya kindumba elataki ye makasi, asalaki mobulu koleka kutu ndeko na ye ya mwasi.
12 She lusted for the Assyrians, the governors and the dominating officials who dressed impressively, who were men riding horses. All of them were strong, handsome men.
Ye mpe akufelaki kolinga mibali ya Asiri: bayangeli, bakonzi ya basoda, basoda ya mpiko oyo balataka kitoko mpe batambolaka malamu likolo ya bampunda; bango nyonso bazalaki bilenge mibali kitoko.
13 I saw that she had made herself unclean. It was the same for both sisters.
Namonaki ete ye mpe amikomisaki mbindo: bango mibale balandaki kaka nzela moko.
14 Then she increased her prostitution even more. She saw men carved on walls, figures of Chaldeans painted in red,
Nzokande, ye kutu akendeki mosika koleka na kindumba na ye; amonaki bililingi ya mibali na mir, bililingi ya bato ya Chalide, oyo basala na langi ya motane;
15 wearing belts around their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads. All of them had the appearance of officers of chariot troops, the likeness of sons of Babylonia, whose native land is Chaldea.
mibali yango balataki mikaba na baloketo na bango mpe bitendi ya balangi ebele na mito na bango. Bango nyonso bazalaki na lolenge ya bakonzi ya basoda ya Babiloni, oyo babotama na mokili na Chalide.
16 As soon as her eyes saw them, she lusted for them, so she sent out messengers to them in Chaldea.
Tango kaka amonaki bango, akufelaki bango na bolingo mpe atindaki bantoma epai na bango, na mokili ya Chalide.
17 Then the Babylonians came to her and to her bed of lust, and they made her unclean with their promiscuousness. By what she had done she was made unclean, so she turned herself away from them in disgust.
Bato ya Babiloni bayaki epai na ye kino na mbeto na ye oyo asalelaka bolingo mpe bakomisaki ye mbindo na nzela ya kindumba na bango. Sima na bango kokomisa ye mbindo, ayinaki bango.
18 When she displayed her acts of prostitution and uncovered her nakedness, I turned away from her, just as I had turned away in disgust from her sister.
Tango alakisaki polele kindumba na ye mpe atalisaki bolumbu na ye, nayinaki ye, ndenge kaka nayinaki ndeko na ye ya mwasi.
19 Then she increased her prostitution as she remembered the days of her youth, when she was a prostitute in the land of Egypt.
Nzokande, azalaki se kobakisa kindumba na ye tango azalaki kokanisa mikolo ya bolenge na ye, oyo azalaki kosala kindumba, na Ejipito.
20 So she lusted for her lovers, whose private parts were like those of donkeys, and whose reproductive emissions were like those of horses.
Kuna, akufelaki kolinga bamakangu na ye, oyo nzoto na bango ya mibali ezalaka lokola nzoto ya mibali ya ane mpe oyo bazalaka na nguya ya kosangisa nzoto lokola mpunda.
21 This is how you committed shameful acts of your youth, when the Egyptians fondled your nipples and squeezed your young breasts.
Boye, okanisaki lisusu kindumba na yo, oyo ozalaki kosala na bolenge tango mibali ya Ejipito bazalaki kosakana na mabele na yo mpe kosimbasimba tolo na yo ya bolenge.
22 Therefore, Oholibah, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will turn your lovers against you. Those from whom you turned away, I will bring them against you from every side:
Yango wana, Oholiba, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakosala ete bamakangu na yo, ba-oyo yo oboyaki, babalukela yo; mpe nakosala lisusu ete babimela yo na bangambo nyonso:
23 the Babylonians and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, Shoa, and Koa, and all the Assyrians with them, strong, handsome men, governors and commanders, all of them are officers and men of reputation, all of them riding on horses.
mibali ya Babiloni mpe mibali nyonso ya Chalide, ya Pekodi, ya Shoa mpe ya Koa elongo na mibali nyonso ya Asiri, bilenge mibali kitoko. Bango nyonso bazalaki bayangeli mpe bakonzi ya basoda, basoda ya mpiko oyo batambolaka malamu likolo ya bampunda mpe bakonzi ya basoda ya lokumu; bango nyonso batambolaka likolo ya bampunda.
24 They will come against you with weapons, and with chariots and wagons, and with a great crowd of people. They will set large shields, small shields, and helmets against you all around. I will give them the opportunity to punish you, and they will punish you with their actions.
Bakoya kobundisa yo na bibundeli, na bampunda mpe na bashar na yango elongo na bato ebele; bakomibongisa mpo na kobundisa yo na bangambo nyonso, na banguba minene mpe ya mike, mpe na bikoti ya basoda. Nakokaba yo na maboko na bango mpo ete bapesa yo etumbu mpe bakosambisa yo kolanda mibeko na bango.
25 For I will set my jealous anger on you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will cut off your noses and your ears, and your survivors will fall by the sword. They will take away your sons and your daughters, and your survivors will be devoured by fire.
Nakotelemela yo na kanda na Ngai mpe bakosala yo mabe, na mitema ya kanda penza. Bakokata yo zolo mpe matoyi; bongo bato na yo, oyo bakotikala bakokufa na mopanga. Bakokende na bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, bongo ba-oyo bakotikala bakokufa na moto.
26 They will strip you of your clothes and take away all of your jewelry.
Bakobotola yo lisusu bilamba na yo mpe babiju na yo ya talo.
27 So I will remove your shameful behavior from you and your acts of prostitution from the land of Egypt. You will not lift up your eyes toward them with longing, and you will think of Egypt no longer.'
Nakosukisa makambo ya soni mpe kindumba na yo, oyo obandaki na Ejipito. Okotombola lisusu miso na yo te mpo na komona bato wana mpe okotikala lisusu kokanisa Ejipito te.
28 For the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Behold! I will give you into the hand of the ones you hate, back into the hand of the ones from whom you had turned away.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakomi pene ya kokaba yo na maboko ya bato oyo oyinaka, bato oyo osepelaka lisusu na bango te.
29 They will deal with you hatefully; they will take all your possessions and abandon you naked and bare, and your nakedness will be uncovered just as when you engaged in promiscuity and prostitutions.
Bato yango bakoyina yo, bakosala yo mabe penza mpe bakobotola yo mbuma ya mosala na yo; bakolongola yo bilamba mpe okotikala bolumbu, bongo soni ya kindumba na yo ekobima polele. Kindumba mpe ekobo na yo
30 These things will be done to you in your acting like a prostitute, lusting after nations by which you became unclean with their idols.
nde ememelaki yo makambo oyo ekomeli yo, pamba te okufelaki kolinga mibali ya bikolo wana mpe omikomisaki mbindo na nzela ya kosalela banzambe na bango ya bikeko.
31 You have walked in the way of your sister, so I will put her cup of punishment into your hand.'
Lokola olandaki nzela ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, nakotia kopo oyo ye amelaki na loboko na yo.
32 The Lord Yahweh says this, 'You will drink your sister's cup that is deep and large. You will become a laughingstock and a subject for derision—this cup contains a great amount.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Okomela kopo oyo ndeko na yo ya mwasi amelaki, kopo moko ya monene mpe ya mozindo; ekomemela yo kosambwa mpe soni, pamba te ezali monene penza.
33 You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, the cup of horror and devastation; the cup of your sister Samaria.
Ekolangwisa yo na pasi: kopo ya kobebisama mpe ya somo, kopo ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, Samari.
34 You will drink it and drain it empty; then you will shatter it and tear your breasts with the pieces. For I have declared it—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.'
Okomela yango kino ekokawuka, okobuka-buka yango na biteni, mpe ekozokisa-zokisa mabele na yo, pamba te Ngai Nkolo Yawe nde nalobi.
35 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this, 'Because you have forgotten me and thrown me away behind your back, so also you will bear the consequences of your shameful behavior and acts of sexual immorality.'”
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola obosanaki Ngai mpe otiaki Ngai na sima ya mokongo na yo, okomema mikumba ya ekobo mpe ya kindumba na yo. »
36 Yahweh said to me, “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? So present to them their disgusting actions,
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, okosambisa penza Ohola mpe Oholiba? Lakisa bango misala na bango ya mbindo;
37 since they have committed adultery, and since there is blood on their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols, and they have even caused their sons to pass through the fire, as food for their idols.
pamba te basalaki kindumba, mpe makila etondi na maboko na bango; basalaki kindumba na banzambe na bango ya bikeko, mpe babonzaki lokola mbeka bana na bango ya mibali oyo babotelaki Ngai, mpo ete bakoma bilei ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko.
38 Then they continue to do this to me: They make my sanctuary unclean, and on the same day they defile my Sabbaths.
Basalaki yango mpe lisusu epai na Ngai: kaka na tango yango, bakomisaki Esika na Ngai ya bule mbindo mpe babebisaki bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
39 For when they had slaughtered their children for their idols, then they came to my sanctuary on the same day to defile it! So behold! This is what they have done in the middle of my house.
Kaka na mokolo oyo bazalaki kobonza lokola mbeka bana na bango epai ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, bazalaki mpe kokota na Esika na Ngai ya bule mpe kobebisa bosantu na yango. Yango nde bazalaki kosala kati na Ndako na Ngai.
40 You sent out for men who came from far away, to whom messengers had been sent—now behold. They indeed came, those for whom you bathed, painted your eyes, and adorned yourself with jewelry.
Batindaki mpe bantoma epai ya bato oyo bazalaka mosika. Mpe tango bayaki, omisukolaki nzoto, opakolaki biloko ya monzele na miso mpe olataki babiju.
41 There you sat on a beautiful bed and at a table arranged before it where you placed my incense and my oil.
Ovandaki na mbeto moko ya kitoko; mpe liboso na yango, ezalaki na mesa moko oyo otiaka malasi ya ansa mpe mafuta na Ngai.
42 So the sound of a noisy crowd was around her; including all kinds of men, even Sabeans were brought in from the wilderness, and they put bracelets on their hands and beautiful crowns on their heads.
Zingazinga na ye, makelele ya bato ebele ezalaki koyokana, bameli masanga ebele oyo bawutaki na esobe elongo na bato ebele bayaki kolatisa bango mayaka na maboko mpe mitole ya bonzenga na mito na bango.
43 Then I said of her who was worn out by adultery, 'Now they will be sexually immoral with her, and she with them.'
Boye, namilobelaki na tina na mwana mwasi oyo anzulukaki nzoto mpo na kindumba: ‹ Boni, ezali kaka ye oyo anzuluki nzoto nde azali kozongela lisusu penza kindumba! ›
44 They went in to her and slept with her as men go in to be with a prostitute. In this way they slept with Oholah and Oholibah, who were immoral women.
Mpe basangisaki na ye nzoto: ndenge mibali basangisaka nzoto na mwasi ya ndumba, ndenge wana mpe basalaki bango, Ohola mpe Oholiba.
45 But righteous men will pass judgment and punish them as adulteresses, and they will punish them with the sentence for those who shed blood, because they are adulteresses and blood is on their hands.
Kasi bato ya sembo bakosambisa bango mpe bakokatela bango etumbu oyo bapesaka na basi oyo basalaka ekobo mpe basopaka makila, pamba te bazali bandumba mpe maboko na bango ezali na makila.
46 So the Lord Yahweh says this: I will raise up a company against them and give them up to be terrorized and plundered.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Tika ete ebele ya bato batombokela bango, banyokola bango mpe babotola biloko na bango na makasi!
47 Then that company will stone them with stones and cut them down with their swords. They will kill their sons and daughters and burn down their houses.
Tika ete babamba bango mabanga mpe baboma bango na mopanga; baboma bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi mpe babebisa bandako na bango na moto.
48 For I will remove shameful behavior from the land and discipline all the women so they will no longer act like prostitutes.
Na nzela wana nde nakosukisa kindumba kati na mokili, mpo ete basi nyonso bazwa mayele mpe balanda ndakisa na bango te.
49 So they will set your shameful behavior against you. You will bear the guilt of your sins with your idols, and in this way you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
Bokozwa etumbu mpo na kindumba na bino mpe bokomema mikumba ya masumu na bino ya kosambela banzambe ya bikeko; boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. »
