Ezekiel 11
1 Moreover the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the east gate of the LORD’s house, which looks eastward. Behold, twenty-five men were at the door of the gate; and I saw among them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people.
Bongo Molimo atombolaki ngai mpe amemaki ngai kino na ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe, oyo etala na ngambo ya este. Bato tuku mibale na mitano bazalaki wana na ekotelo ya ekuke; mpe namonaki kati na bango: Yazania, mwana mobali ya Azuri, mpe Pelatia, mwana mobali ya Benaya, oyo bazalaki bakambi ya bato.
2 He said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who devise iniquity, and who give wicked counsel in this city;
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala bato oyo basalaka mabongisi ya mabe mpe bapesaka batoli ya mabe kati na engumba oyo.
3 who say, ‘The time is not near to build houses. This is the cauldron, and we are the meat.’
Balobaka: ‹ Boni, tango ya kotonga bandako ekoki nanu te? Engumba oyo ezali lokola nzungu, mpe biso, tozali lokola misuni. ›
4 Therefore prophesy against them. Prophesy, son of man.”
Yango wana, sakola makambo ya mabe na tina na bango; sakola, mwana na moto! »
5 The LORD’s Spirit fell on me, and he said to me, “Speak, ‘The LORD says: “Thus you have said, house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
Molimo na Yawe akitaki likolo na ngai mpe ayebisaki ngai ete naloba: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Tala makambo oyo bozali koloba, bino bakambi kati na Isalaele! Kasi Ngai nayebi makambo oyo bozali kokanisa.
6 You have multiplied your slain in this city, and you have filled its streets with the slain.”
Bobomi bato ebele kati na engumba oyo mpe botondisi babalabala na yango na bibembe.
7 “‘Therefore the Lord GOD says: “Your slain whom you have laid in the middle of it, they are the meat, and this is the cauldron; but you will be brought out of the middle of it.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: engumba oyo ezali solo nzungu, mpe bibembe oyo bobwaki kuna, yango nde misuni; kasi Ngai, nakobengana bino kati na yango.
8 You have feared the sword; and I will bring the sword on you,” says the Lord GOD.
Bozali kobanga mopanga? Solo, Ngai, nakotindela bino mopanga, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
9 “I will bring you out of the middle of it, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
nakobengana bino na engumba oyo, nakokaba bino na maboko ya bapaya mpe nakopesa bino etumbu.
10 You will fall by the sword. I will judge you in the border of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
Bokokufa na mopanga, nakosambisa bino na bandelo ya mokili ya Isalaele, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe.
11 This will not be your cauldron, neither will you be the meat in the middle of it. I will judge you in the border of Israel.
Engumba oyo ekotikala te kozala nzungu mpo na bino, mpe bino bokotikala te kozala misuni kati na yango; nakosambisa bino na bandelo ya mokili ya Isalaele.
12 You will know that I am the LORD, for you have not walked in my statutes. You have not executed my ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are around you.”’”
Mpe bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe, pamba te bolandaki te bikateli na Ngai mpe botosaki te mibeko na Ngai, kasi bolandaki nde bizaleli ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bazingeli bino. »
13 When I prophesied, Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then I fell down on my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said, “Ah Lord GOD! Will you make a full end of the remnant of Israel?”
Nzokande, wana nazalaki nanu kosakola, Pelatia, mwana mobali ya Benaya, akufaki. Nakweyaki, elongi na ngai kino na mabele, mpe nagangaki na mongongo makasi: « Oh Nkolo Yawe! Okosilisa solo koboma penza ndambo ya bana ya Isalaele, oyo batikali na bomoi? »
14 The LORD’s word came to me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
15 “Son of man, your brothers, even your brothers, the men of your relatives, and all the house of Israel, all of them, are the ones to whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said, ‘Go far away from the LORD. This land has been given to us for a possession.’
« Mwana na moto, ezali epai ya bato na yo, bandeko na yo ya makila mpe ndako mobimba ya Isalaele nde bato ya Yelusalemi balobaki: ‹ Bozala mosika na Yawe; mokili oyo epesamelaki biso lokola libula na biso. ›
16 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “Whereas I have removed them far off among the nations, and whereas I have scattered them among the countries, yet I will be to them a sanctuary for a little while in the countries where they have come.”’
Yango wana, loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Atako nabenganaki bango kati na bikolo mpe napanzaki bango kati na mabota, kasi nazalaki mpo na bango lokola ndako ya bule kati na bikolo epai wapi bakendeki. ›
17 “Therefore say, ‘The Lord GOD says: “I will gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where you have been scattered, and I will give you Eretz-Israel.”
Mpo na yango, loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakosangisa bino wuta na bikolo, nakozongisa bino wuta na mikili epai wapi napanzaki bino mpe nakozongisela bino lisusu mokili ya Isalaele. ›
18 “‘They will come there, and they will take away all its detestable things and all its abominations from there.
Bakozonga kuna mpe bakolongola bililingi na yango nyonso ya mbindo elongo na banzambe nyonso ya bikeko.
19 I will give them one heart, and I will put a new spirit within them. I will take the stony heart out of their flesh, and will give them a heart of flesh,
Nakopesa bango motema ya sika mpe nakotia kati na bango molimo ya sika; nakolongola kati na bango motema ya libanga mpe nakopesa bango motema ya mosuni,
20 that they may walk in my statutes, and keep my ordinances, and do them. They will be my people, and I will be their God.
mpo ete balanda bikateli na Ngai mpe batosa mibeko na Ngai. Bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango.
21 But as for them whose heart walks after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way on their own heads,’ says the Lord GOD.”
Kasi mpo na bato oyo bapesa mitema na bango epai ya bililingi ya mbindo mpe banzambe ya bikeko mpo na kokoba kosalela yango, nakofuta bango kolanda misala na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
22 Then the cherubim lifted up their wings, and the wheels were beside them. The glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
Na tango wana, basheribe bafungolaki mapapu na bango mpe bapine ekomaki kobaluka na mipanzi na bango; boye nkembo na Nzambe ya Isalaele ezalaki na likolo na bango.
23 The LORD’s glory went up from the middle of the city, and stood on the mountain which is on the east side of the city.
Nkembo na Yawe emataki na likolo longwa kati na engumba mpe ekendeki kotelema na likolo ya ngomba oyo ezalaki na este ya Yelusalemi.
24 The Spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the Spirit of God into Kasdimah, to the captives. So the vision that I had seen went up from me.
Molimo atombolaki ngai mpe amemaki ngai kati na Babiloni epai ya bato oyo bakendeki na bowumbu. Makambo oyo ezalaki kosalema kati na emoniseli oyo Molimo ya Nzambe apesaki ngai. Mpe emoniseli oyo namonaki esilaki.
25 Then I spoke to the captives all the things that the LORD had shown me.
Bongo nayebisaki bato oyo bazalaki na bowumbu makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alakisaki ngai.
