Ezekiel 21
1 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 “Son of man, set your face toward Jerusalem, and preach toward the sanctuaries, and prophesy against the land of Israel.
« Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi, loba mpo na kotelemela bisika ya bule mpe sakola mpo na kotelemela Isalaele.
3 Tell the land of Israel, ‘Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, and will draw my sword out of its sheath, and will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked.
Loba na mokili ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Natombokeli yo, nakobimisa mopanga na Ngai na ebombelo na yango mpe nakoboma bato, kati na mokili na yo, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe.
4 Seeing then that I will cut off from you the righteous and the wicked, therefore my sword will go out of its sheath against all flesh from the south to the north.
Mpo ete nakoboma bato ya sembo mpe ya mabe, mopanga na Ngai ekobima na ebombelo na yango mpo na koboma moto nyonso, wuta na sude kino na nor.
5 All flesh will know that I, Yahweh, have drawn my sword out of its sheath. It will not return any more.”’
Boye, bato nyonso bakososola ete Ngai Yawe nde nabimisi mopanga na Ngai wuta na ebombelo na yango, mpe ekozonga lisusu te. ›
6 “Therefore sigh, you son of man. You shall sigh before their eyes with a broken heart and with bitterness.
Yango wana, mwana na moto, lela! Kende kolela liboso na bango, na motema oyo ebukani mpe ya mawa.
7 It shall be, when they ask you, ‘Why do you sigh?’ that you shall say, ‘Because of the news, for it comes! Every heart will melt, all hands will be feeble, every spirit will faint, and all knees will be weak as water. Behold, it comes, and it shall be done, says the Lord Yahweh.’”
Soki batuni yo: ‹ Mpo na nini ozali kolela? › Okozongisela bango: ‹ Ezali mpo na sango oyo ezali koya. › Mitema mpe maboko nyonso ekolemba lokola mayi, bato nyonso bakomitungisa mpe mabolongo nyonso ekolenga. Sango yango ezali koya; solo ekosalema, elobi Nkolo Yawe! »
8 Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
9 “Son of man, prophesy, and say, ‘Yahweh says: “A sword! A sword! It is sharpened, and also polished.
« Mwana na moto, sakola. Loba: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Mopanga, mopanga! Bangalisi mpe bapelisi yango!
10 It is sharpened that it may make a slaughter. It is polished that it may be as lightning. Should we then make mirth? The rod of my son condemns every tree.
Bapelisi yango mpo na koboma, bangalisi yango mpo na kobimisa mikalikali! Boni, tosepela kaka na lingenda ya bokonzi ya mwana na ngai ya mobali? Mopanga ya mwana na ngai esambwisaka banzete nyonso.
11 It is given to be polished, that it may be handled. The sword is sharpened. Yes, it is polished to give it into the hand of the killer.”’
Mopanga epesami mpo ete bangalisa yango, mpo ete basimba yango na loboko; bangalisi yango mpe bapelisi yango mpo ete mobomi asalela yango.
12 Cry and wail, son of man; for it is on my people. It is on all the princes of Israel. They are delivered over to the sword with my people. Therefore beat your thigh.
Mwana na moto, ganga mpe lela makasi! Pamba te mopanga ebimi mpo na koboma bato na ngai, mpo na koboma bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele; babongisami mpo na kokufa na mopanga elongo na bato na ngai. Yango wana, beta tolo na yo!
13 “For there is a trial. What if even the rod that condemns will be no more?” says the Lord Yahweh.
Komekama ekoya penza; mpe likambo nini ekosalema soki lingenda ya bokonzi, oyo mopanga esili kotiola, etikali lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe? ›
14 “You therefore, son of man, prophesy, and strike your hands together. Let the sword be doubled the third time, the sword of the fatally wounded. It is the sword of the great one who is fatally wounded, which enters into their rooms.
Boye mwana na moto, sakola mpe beta maboko na yo! Tika ete mopanga eboma mbala mibale to mbala misato! Ezali mopanga oyo ebomaka; ezali solo mopanga oyo ebomaka mingi, mopanga oyo ezingeli bango bisika nyonso.
15 I have set the threatening sword against all their gates, that their heart may melt, and their stumblings be multiplied. Ah! It is made as lightning. It is pointed for slaughter.
Mpo ete mitema na bango ekoka kolenga mpe bakufi bazala ebele, nasili kotia mopanga oyo ebomaka na bikuke nyonso ya bingumba na bango. Tala, bangalisi yango mpo ete epela lokola mikalikali; basimbi yango mpo na koboma!
16 Gather yourselves together. Go to the right. Set yourselves in array. Go to the left, wherever your face is set.
Oh mopanga, beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi; beta na esika nyonso oyo minu na yo etali!
17 I will also strike my hands together, and I will cause my wrath to rest. I, Yahweh, have spoken it.”
Ngai mpe, nakobeta maboko na Ngai; mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi ekokita. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. »
18 Yahweh’s word came to me again, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
19 “Also, you son of man, appoint two ways, that the sword of the king of Babylon may come. They both will come out of one land, and mark out a place. Mark it out at the head of the way to the city.
« Mwana na moto, sala banzela mibale oyo mopanga ya mokonzi ya Babiloni ekoki kolekela; banzela nyonso mibale ebimela na mokili moko. Na ekotelo ya nzela moko na moko, tia elembo oyo ekolakisa nzela ya engumba.
20 You shall appoint a way for the sword to come to Rabbah of the children of Ammon, and to Judah in Jerusalem the fortified.
Sala nzela moko mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Raba, engumba ya bato ya Amoni, mpe nzela mosusu mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Yelusalemi, engumba batonga makasi, kati na Yuda.
21 For the king of Babylon stood at the parting of the way, at the head of the two ways, to use divination. He shook the arrows back and forth. He consulted the teraphim. He looked in the liver.
Pamba te mokonzi ya Babiloni akotelema na esika oyo banzela mibale ekutana mpo na kosala makambo ya soloka, akobeta zeke na koningisa makonga ya mike, akotuna banzambe na ye ya bikeko mpe akotala mabale ya banyama.
22 In his right hand was the lot for Jerusalem, to set battering rams, to open the mouth in the slaughter, to lift up the voice with shouting, to set battering rams against the gates, to cast up mounds, and to build forts.
Zeke oyo ekotalisa Yelusalemi ezali kati na loboko na ye ya mobali: kuna na Yelusalemi, akopesa mitindo ya koboma, akobeta mololo ya bitumba, akotia bashar ya bitumba liboso ya bikuke ya engumba, akotonga bamir ya zelo mpe akotimola mabulu ya kobombamela.
23 It will be to them as a false divination in their sight, who have sworn oaths to them; but he brings iniquity to memory, that they may be taken.
Kasi lokola basilaki kolapa ndayi ete bakotosa ye, bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomona yango lokola bimoniseli ya pamba mpe ya lokuta. Kasi mokonzi ya Babiloni akosala ete bakanisa lisusu mabe na bango, mpe akomema bango na bowumbu.
24 “Therefore the Lord Yahweh says: ‘Because you have caused your iniquity to be remembered, in that your transgressions are uncovered, so that in all your doings your sins appear; because you have come to memory, you will be taken with the hand.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola mabe na bino ezongeli bino na makanisi, lokola bolakisi Ngai na polele botomboki na bino mpe bomonisi masumu na bino kati na misala na bino nyonso; lokola bosali bongo, bokokende na bowumbu.
25 “‘You, deadly wounded wicked one, the prince of Israel, whose day has come, in the time of the iniquity of the end,
Yo mokambi ya Isalaele, moto ya mbindo mpe moto mabe, mikolo ezali koya, tango na yo ya etumbu, mpo na kosukisa mabe na yo!
26 the Lord Yahweh says: “Remove the turban, and take off the crown. This will not be as it was. Exalt that which is low, and humble that which is high.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Longola ye eteni ya elamba ya moto, longola ye motole! Makambo ekobongwana, ekozala lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso! Bato oyo bakitisama bakotombwama, mpe ba-oyo batombwama bakokitisama.
27 I will overturn, overturn, overturn it. This also will be no more, until he comes whose right it is; and I will give it.”’
Libebi! Libebi! Nakokomisa yango libebi. Ekotikala kobonga lisusu te kino tango moto oyo akopesa etumbu, oyo nakopesa ye makoki mpo na yango, akoya. ›
28 “You, son of man, prophesy and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says this concerning the children of Ammon, and concerning their reproach: “A sword! A sword is drawn! It is polished for the slaughter, to cause it to devour, that it may be as lightning;
Mpe yo, mwana na moto, sakola mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na tina na bato ya Amoni mpe mafinga na bango: Mopanga, babimisi mopanga mpo na koboma, bapelisi yango mpo na koboma mpe mpo na kongenga lokola mikalikali!
29 while they see for you false visions, while they divine lies to you, to lay you on the necks of the wicked who are deadly wounded, whose day has come in the time of the iniquity of the end.
Atako bapesaki yo bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta, mopanga ekokata bakingo ya bato ya mbindo oyo mokolo ya suka mpo na mabe na bango esili kokoka.
30 Cause it to return into its sheath. In the place where you were created, in the land of your birth, I will judge you.
Zongisa mopanga na ebombelo na yango. Nakosambisa yo na esika oyo okelamaki, na mokili ya bakoko na yo.
31 I will pour out my indignation on you. I will blow on you with the fire of my wrath. I will deliver you into the hand of brutish men, skillful to destroy.
Nakokitisela yo kanda na Ngai ya makasi mpe nakofula yo moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakokaba yo na maboko ya bato ya mobulu oyo babebisaka.
32 You will be for fuel to the fire. Your blood will be in the middle of the land. You will be remembered no more; for I, Yahweh, have spoken it.”’”
Okozika na moto, makila na yo ekopanzana kaka na mokili na yo mpe bakokanisa yo lisusu te; pamba te Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. › »
