Ezekiel 24
1 The word of Yahweh came to me in the ninth year, in the tenth month, and on the tenth day of the month, saying,
Na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya libwa, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 “Son of man, write for yourself the name of this day, this exact day, for this exact day the king of Babylon has besieged Jerusalem.
« Mwana na moto, koma mokolo oyo kati na buku, mokolo ya lelo, pamba te ezali na mokolo oyo nde mokonzi ya Babiloni azingelaki engumba Yelusalemi.
3 So speak a proverb against this rebellious house, a parable. Say to them, 'The Lord Yahweh says this: Place the cooking pot. Place it and pour water into it.
Loba na libota oyo ya batomboki lisese oyo; yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Kamata nzungu moko ya kolambela, bongisa yango mpe tia mayi kati na yango.
4 Gather pieces of food within it, every good piece—the thigh and shoulder— and fill it with the best bones.
Tia biteni ya misuni kati na yango, biteni nyonso ya malamu: lokolo mpe lipeka; tondisa yango na mikuwa ya malamu.
5 Take the best of the flock and pile up the bones under it. Bring it to a boil and cook the bones in it.
Kamata bameme oyo ezanga mbeba kati na etonga mpe sangisa bakoni na se ya nzungu yango; pelisa moto mpe tokisa nzungu yango kino mikuwa ekobela penza!
6 Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the city of blood, a cooking pot that has rust in it and that rust will not come out of it. Take piece after piece from it, but do not cast lots for it.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na engumba oyo esopaka makila, nzungu ya salite, nzungu oyo elongwaka salite te! Tika yango pamba, longola eteni moko na moko kino nyonso ekosila na kobeta zeke te.
7 For her blood is in the midst of her. She has set it on the smooth rock; she has not poured it out on the ground to cover it with dust,
Pamba te makila oyo esopaki ezali kati na yango; esopaki yango na likolo ya libanga, esopaki yango na mabele te epai wapi putulu ekokaki kozipa yango.
8 so it brings fury up to exact vengeance. I placed her blood on the smooth rock so it could not be covered.
Mpo na kopelisa kanda na Ngai mpe kozongisela yango mabe na mabe, natie makila na yango na likolo ya mabanga mpo ete ebombama te.
9 Therefore, the Lord Yahweh says this: Woe to the city of blood. I will also enlarge the pile of wood.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na engumba oyo esopaka makila! Ngai mpe nakosangisela yo bakoni ebele.
10 Stack up the wood and kindle the fire. Cook the meat well and mix in the spices and let the bones be charred.
Sangisa bakoni mpe pelisa moto. Lamba misuni malamu, sangisa yango na biloko mike-mike ya solo kitoko oyo balambelaka mpe sala ete mikuwa ezika.
11 Then set the pot on its coals empty, in order to heat and scorch its bronze, so its uncleanness within it will be melted, its corrosion consumed.'
Bongo tia nzungu ya pamba na likolo ya makala ya moto kino ekoma moto mpe linzanza na yango ekoma motane, mpo ete mbindo na yango elongwa mpe konzuluka na yango ekende na moto.
12 She has become weary because of toil, but her corrosion has not gone out of her by the fire.
Kasi konzuluka na yango esilisi makasi ya bato, bosoto na yango etikali kolongwa te! Ezala moto, elongi te kolongola bosoto yango!
13 Your shameful behavior is in your uncleanness. Because I tried to cleanse you but still you would not be cleansed from your uncleanness, you will not be cleansed anymore until I have satisfied my fury upon you.
Yelusalemi, mbindo na yo ezali kindumba. Nalukaki kokomisa yo peto, kasi olingaki kopetolama te na bosoto na yo. Okotikala lisusu kozala peto te kino tango nakosilisa kosopela yo kanda na Ngai.
14 I, Yahweh, have declared it, and I will do it. I will not relent nor will I rest from it. As your ways were, and as your activities, they will judge you!—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration.”
Ngai Yawe nde nalobaki. Tango ekoki mpo na Ngai kosala; nakoyoka mawa te, nakozonga sima te! Okosambisama solo kolanda etamboli mpe misala na yo, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
15 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
16 “Son of man! Behold, I am taking the desire of your eyes from you with a plague, but you must not mourn nor weep, and your tears must not flow.
« Mwana na moto, nakolongola, na nzela ya kufa ya pwasa, mwasi oyo asepelisaka motema na yo. Kasi komitungisa te, kolela te mpe kotangisa mpinzoli te.
17 You must groan silently. Do not conduct a funeral for the dead. Tie your turban on you and place your sandals on your feet, but do not veil your facial hair or eat the bread of men who mourn for having lost their wives.”
Lela na se ya motema, kosala matanga na tina na ye te. Kanga kitendi na moto na yo mpe tia sandale na makolo na yo; kozipa mandefu ya elongi na yo te mpe kolia bilei ya matanga te, ndenge ezali ezaleli ya bokoko na bino. »
18 So I spoke to the people in the morning, and my wife died in the evening. In the morning I did what I had been commanded to do.
Boye, na tongo, nasololaki na bato; bongo na pokwa, mwasi na Ngai akufaki. Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, nasalaki kolanda mitindo oyo epesamelaki ngai.
19 The people asked me, “Will you not tell us what these things mean, the things that you are doing?”
Boye, bato batunaki ngai: — Okoki koyebisa biso te soki makambo oyo ozali kosala elakisi nini?
20 So I said to them, “The word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Nazongiselaki bango: — Yawe alobaki na ngai:
21 'Say to the house of Israel, the Lord Yahweh says this: Behold! I will desecrate my sanctuary—the pride of your power, the delight of your eyes, and the yearning of your soul, and your sons and your daughters whom you left behind will fall by the sword.
« Yebisa libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakomi pene ya kosambwisa bosantu ya Esika na Ngai ya bule oyo esalaka lolendo na bino, oyo esepelisaka miso na bino mpe esalaka esengo ya mitema na bino. Bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi oyo botikaki na Yelusalemi bakokufa na mopanga.
22 Then you will do exactly as I have done: you will not veil your facial hair, nor eat the bread of mourning men!
Boye, bokosala ndenge Ngai nasali: bokozipa mandefu na bino te mpe bokolia bilei ya matanga te;
23 Instead, your turbans will be on your heads, and your sandals on your feet; you will not mourn nor weep, for you will melt away in your iniquities, and each man will groan for his brother.
bokokanga bitendi na mito na bino mpe bokolata basandale na makolo na bino, bokosala matanga te mpe bokolela te, kasi bokomona pasi mpo na masumu na bino mpe bokokoma kolelalela kati na bino.
24 So Ezekiel will be a sign for you, as everything that he has done you will do when this comes. Then you will know that I am the Lord Yahweh!'”
Ezekieli akozala lokola elembo mpo na bino: bokosala ndenge kaka ye asalaki. Tango makambo oyo ekosalema, bokososola ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. ›
25 “But you, son of man, on the day that I capture their temple, which is their joy, their pride, and what they see and desire—and when I take away their sons and daughters—
Bongo yo, mwana na moto; na mikolo ekoya, nakobotola bandako na bango oyo batonga makasi mpe batielaka motema, oyo esalaka esengo mpe lokumu na bango, oyo esepelisaka miso na bango mpe esalaka esengo ya mitema na bango; nakobotola lisusu bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi.
26 on that day, a refugee will come to you to give you the news!
Na mokolo wana, moto moko akokima mpe akoya kopesa yo basango.
27 On that day your mouth will be opened up to that refugee and you will speak—you will no longer be silent. You will be a sign for them so that they will know that I am Yahweh.”
Na mokolo wana, monoko na yo ekofungwama, okosolola na monoko yango mpe okokanga lisusu yango te. Boye, okozala elembo mpo na bango mpe bakoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. »
