< Ezekiel 3 >

1 He said to me, “Son of man, what you have found, eat. Eat this scroll, then go speak to the house of Israel.”
Bongo alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, lia eloko oyo ezali liboso na yo, lia buku oyo elingama mpe kende koloba na libota ya Isalaele. »
2 So I opened my mouth, and he fed me that scroll.
Boye, nafungolaki monoko na ngai, mpe aleisaki ngai buku yango oyo elingama.
3 He said to me, “Son of man, feed your belly and fill your stomach with this scroll that I have given to you!” So I ate it, and it was as sweet as honey in my mouth.
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Mwana na moto, lia mokanda oyo nazali kopesa yo mpe tondisa libumu na yo na yango. » Boye, naliaki yango, mpe ezalaki elengi na monoko na ngai lokola mafuta ya nzoyi.
4 Then he said to me, “Son of man, go to the house of Israel and speak my words to them.
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, kende sik’oyo na libota ya Isalaele mpe yebisa bango maloba na Ngai.
5 For you are not being sent to a people of strange speech or difficult language, but to the house of Israel—
Otindami te epai ya bato oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koloba mpe kososola, kasi epai ya bana ya Isalaele.
6 not to many peoples of strange speech or a difficult language, whose words you cannot understand. Surely if I sent you to them, they would have listened to you.
Otindami te kati na bikolo ebele oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koloba mpe kososola. Solo, soki natindaki yo epai ya bikolo wana, balingaki kososola sango oyo omemeli bango.
7 But the house of Israel will not be willing to listen to you, for they are not willing to listen to me. So all the house of Israel is strong browed and hard hearted.
Kasi libota ya Isalaele bakolinga koyokela yo te, mpo ete balingaka koyokela Ngai te; pamba te libota mobimba ya Isalaele bazali mitema mpe mito makasi.
8 Behold! I have made your face as stubborn as their faces and your brow as hard as their brows.
Nakokomisa yo motema mpe moto makasi lokola bango.
9 I have made your brow like a diamond, harder than flint! Do not fear them or be discouraged by their faces, since they are a rebellious house.”
Nakokomisa mbunzu na yo makasi lokola diama to mpe makasi koleka ata libanga. Kobanga te mpe kolenga te liboso na bango, atako bazali libota ya batomboki. »
10 Then he said to me, “Son of man, all the words that I announce to you—take them into your heart and hear them with your ears!
Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Mwana na moto, yoka malamu maloba oyo nakoloba na yo mpe batela yango malamu kati na motema na yo.
11 Then go to the captives, to your people, and speak to them. Say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says,' whether they will listen or not.”
Kende sik’oyo epai ya bandeko na yo, oyo bozali elongo na bango kati na bowumbu; okoyebisa bango mpe, ezala bayokeli yo to baboyi koyokela yo, okoloba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi. › »
12 Then the Spirit lifted me up, and I heard behind me the sound of a great earthquake: “Blessed be the glory of Yahweh from his place!”
Boye, Molimo atelemisaki ngai mpe nayokaki sima na ngai makelele moko ya makasi: « Tika ete nkembo ya Yawe epambolama wuta na esika oyo Ye avandaka! »
13 It was the sound of the wings of the living creatures as they touched one another, and the sound of the wheels that were with them, and the sound of a great earthquake.
Nayokaki lisusu makelele ya mapapu ya bikelamu ya bomoi, tango ezalaki kotutana lipapu moko na mosusu, makelele ya bapine mpe lokito moko ya makasi.
14 The Spirit lifted me up and took me away, and I went with bitterness in my spirit's rage, for the hand of Yahweh was powerfully pressing on me!
Molimo atombolaki ngai mpe amemaki ngai mosika. Boye, nazalaki kokende na pasi na motema, mpe molimo na ngai etondisamaki na kanda; nzokande loboko na Yawe ezalaki kosala kati na ngai na nguya makasi.
15 So I went to the captives at Tel Aviv who lived along the Kebar Canal, and I stayed there among them for seven days, overwhelmed in amazement.
Nakomaki kino na Teli-Avivi epai wapi bato oyo bamemaki na bowumbu bazalaki kovanda, pembeni ya ebale Kebari. Navandaki kuna elongo na bango mikolo sambo; nazalaki kokamwa mingi.
16 Then it happened after seven days that the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Sima na mikolo sambo, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
17 “Son of man, I have made you a watchman for the house of Israel, so listen to the word from my mouth, and give them my warning.
« Mwana na moto, nasili kotia yo mokengeli mpo na libota ya Isalaele; boye yoka maloba oyo nazali koloba mpe kebisa bango na Kombo na Ngai.
18 When I say to the wicked, 'You will surely die' and you do not warn him or speak a warning to the wicked about his evil deeds so he might live—the wicked one will die for his sin, but I will require his blood from your hand.
Soki Ngai nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Solo, okokufa, › kasi yo okebisi ye te to oyebisi ye te ete atika nzela na ye ya mabe mpo ete abikisa bomoi na ye, moto wana ya mabe akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye, kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto na yo.
19 But if you warn the wicked, and he does not turn from his wickedness or from his wicked deeds, then he will die for his sin, but you will have rescued your own life.
Kasi soki, yo, okebisi moto wana ya mabe, mpe atiki mabe na ye te to abongwani na nzela na ye ya mabe te, akokufa solo na masumu na ye, mpe yo okobikisa bomoi na yo.
20 If a righteous man turns from his righteousness and acts unjustly, and I set a stumbling block before him, he will die. Because you did not warn him, he will die in his sin, and I will not call to mind the righteous deeds that he performed, but I will require his blood from your hand.
Soki moto ya sembo atiki kosalela bosembo na ye mpe akomi kosala mabe, nakotia libaku liboso na ye, mpe moto yango akokufa, solo. Soki okebisaki ye te, akokufa penza mpo na masumu na ye, mpe bakotikala kokanisa lisusu te bolamu nyonso oyo ye asilaki kosala; kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto na yo.
21 But if you warn the righteous man to stop sinning so that he no longer sins, he will surely live since he was warned; and you will have rescued your own life.”
Kasi soki, yo, okebisi moto ya sembo mpo ete asala masumu te, bongo ye mpe asali masumu te, akobikisa solo bomoi na ye, pamba te ayoki likebisi na yo, mpe yo, okobikisa bomoi na yo. »
22 So the hand of Yahweh was on me there, and he said to me, “Arise! Go out into the plain, and I will speak with you there!”
Loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai, mpe alobaki na ngai: « Telema mpe kende na lubwaku; nazali na makambo ya koyebisa yo kuna. »
23 I arose and went out into the plain, and there the glory of Yahweh was staying, like the glory that I had seen beside the Kebar Canal; so I fell on my face.
Natelemaki mpe nakendeki na lubwaku. Nkembo ya Yawe ezalaki kuna: ezalaki lokola nkembo oyo namonaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari. Boye nakweyaki elongi na ngai kino na mabele.
24 The Spirit came to me and stood me up on my feet; and he spoke with me, and said to me, “Go and shut yourself up within your house,
Bongo Molimo akotaki kati na ngai mpe atelemisaki ngai na makolo na ngai. Alobaki na ngai: « Kende komikangela kati na ndako na yo.
25 for now, son of man, they will place ropes upon you and tie you so you cannot go out among them.
Yo, mwana na moto, bakokanga yo basinga, bakolinga-linga yo mpo ete okoka te kobima kati na bato.
26 I will make your tongue stick to the roof of your mouth, so you will be mute, and you will not be able to rebuke them, since they are a rebellious house.
Nakokangisa lolemo na yo na monoko na yo mpo ete okoka koloba te mpe okoka kopamela bango te, pamba te bazali libota ya batomboki.
27 But when I speak with you, I will open your mouth so you will say to them, 'This is what the Lord Yahweh says.' The one who will hear will hear; the one who will not listen will not listen, for they are a rebellious house!”
Kasi tango nakoloba na yo mpe nakofungola monoko na yo mpo ete oyebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi. › Tika ete moto oyo akolinga koyoka ayoka, mpe oyo akoboya koyoka aboya na ye! Pamba te bazali libota ya batomboki. »
