< Ezekiel 22 >

1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 'And thou, son of man, dost thou judge? dost thou judge the city of blood? then thou hast caused it to know all its abominations,
« Mwana na moto, okosambisa yango solo? Okosambisa solo engumba oyo esopaka makila? Lakisa yango misala na yango nyonso ya mbindo
3 and thou hast said: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: The city is shedding blood in its midst, For the coming in of its time, And it hath made idols on it for defilement.
mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh engumba oyo emibendelaka bololo na nzela ya kosopa makila na kati-kati na yango mpe emikomisaka mbindo na nzela ya komisalela bikeko,
4 By thy blood that thou hast shed thou hast been guilty, And by thine idols that thou hast made thou hast been defiled, And thou causest thy days to draw near, And art come in unto thine years, Therefore I have given thee a reproach to nations, And a derision to all the lands.
ozali na ngambo mpo na makila oyo osopaki mpe okomi mbindo mpo na bikeko oyo osalaki! Okomisi bomoi na yo mokuse mpe okomi na suka ya mibu ya bomoi na yo! Yango wana, nakokomisa yo eloko ya kotiola liboso ya bikolo mpe eloko ya maseki liboso ya mikili nyonso.
5 The near and the far-off from thee scoff at thee, O defiled of name — abounding in trouble.
Yo, engumba ya mbindo, etonda na mobulu, bato oyo bazali pene mpe ba-oyo bazali mosika bakoseka yo!
6 Lo, princes of Israel — each according to his arm Have been in thee to shed blood.
Tala ndenge bakambi ya Isalaele basalelaka bokonzi na bango mpo na kosopa makila.
7 Father and mother made light of in thee, To a sojourner they dealt oppressively in thy midst, Fatherless and widow they oppressed in thee.
Kati na mboka na yo, batiolaka batata mpe bamama, banyokolaka mopaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali.
8 My holy things thou hast despised, And My sabbaths thou hast polluted.
Otiolaka biloko na Ngai ya bule mpe obebisaka bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
9 Men of slander have been in thee to shed blood, And on the mountains they have eaten in thee, Wickedness they have done in thy midst.
Na mboka na yo, bakoselaka bato makambo mpo na kobomisa bango. Na mboka na yo, baliaka biloko na bisika ya bule oyo ezalaka na likolo ya bangomba mpe basalaka makambo ya nkele.
10 The nakedness of a father hath one uncovered in thee, The defiled of impurity they humbled in thee.
Na mboka na yo, mibali basangisaka nzoto na basi ya batata na bango mpe bazwaka na makasi basi oyo bazali komona sanza na bango, na tango oyo bazali mbindo.
11 And each with the wife of his neighbour hath done abomination, And each his daughter-in-law hath defiled through wickedness, And each his sister, his father's daughter, hath humbled in thee.
Na mboka na yo, moko na moko azali kosala makambo ya mbindo elongo na mwasi ya moninga na ye, mosusu azali kokomisa mwasi ya mwana na ye mbindo, mpe mosusu lisusu azali kosangisa nzoto na makasi na ndeko na ye ya mwasi, mwana mwasi ya tata na ye.
12 A bribe they have taken in thee to shed blood, Usury and increase thou hast taken, And cuttest off thy neighbour by oppression, And Me thou hast forgotten, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!
Na mboka na yo, bato bazwaka kanyaka mpo na kosopa makila, badefisaka mpo na kozwa mileki mpe litomba oyo eleka ndelo, banyokolaka baninga mpo na kokoma na bomengo mpe bobosani Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
13 And lo, I have smitten My hand, Because of thy dishonest gain that thou hast gained, And for thy blood that hath been in thy midst.
Solo, nakobeta maboko na Ngai mpo na litomba oyo bozwaki na nzela ya mabe mpe mpo na makila oyo botangisaki kati na bino.
14 Doth thy heart stand — are thy hands strong, For the days that I am dealing with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken and have done [it].
Boni, bokoyika kaka mpiko to maboko na bino ekozala kaka makasi na mokolo oyo nakokitisela bino kanda na Ngai? Ngai Yawe, nalobaki mpe nakokokisa yango.
15 And I have scattered thee among nations, And have spread thee out among lands, And consumed thy uncleanness out of thee.
Nakopanza bino kati na bikolo, nakopalanganisa bino bipai na bipai kati na mokili mpe nakosukisa mbindo na bino.
16 And thou hast been polluted in thyself Before the eyes of nations, And thou hast known that I [am] Jehovah.'
Omikomisaki mbindo na miso ya bikolo, kasi okoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
17 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying, 'Son of man,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
18 The house of Israel hath been to Me for dross, All of them [are] brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, In the midst of a furnace — dross hath silver been,
« Mwana na moto, libota ya Isalaele ekomi lokola fulu na miso na Ngai; bango nyonso bakomi lokola ebende ya motane, ebende ya langi ya etabe oyo etela, ebende mpe mbodi oyo babwaka na etumbelo ya bibende. Solo, bakomi kaka lokola bosoto ya palata.
19 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: Because of your all becoming dross, Therefore, lo, I am gathering you unto the midst of Jerusalem,
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola bino nyonso bokomi kaka lokola bosoto, nakosangisa bino na Yelusalemi.
20 A gathering of silver, and brass, and iron, and lead, and tin, Unto the midst of a furnace — to blow on it fire, to melt it, So do I gather in Mine anger and in My fury, And I have let rest, and have melted you.
Ndenge bato basangisaka palata, ebende ya motane, ebende ya langi ya etabe oyo etela, mbodi mpe ebende kati na etumbelo ya bibende mpo na kolamba yango, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nakosangisa bino na kanda mpe na kotomboka na Ngai, mpe nakobwaka bino kati na engumba mpo na kozikisa bino.
21 And I have heaped you up, And blown on you in the fire of My wrath, And ye have been melted in its midst.
Nakosangisa bino mpe nakofula bino mopepe ya moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakozikisa bino kati na Yelusalemi.
22 As the melting of silver in the midst of a furnace, So are ye melted in its midst, And ye have known that I, Jehovah, I have poured out My fury upon you.'
Ndenge bazikisaka palata kati na etumbelo ya bibende, ndenge wana mpe nakozikisa bino kati na engumba. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe, nasopeli bino kanda na Ngai ya makasi. › »
23 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying:
Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu:
24 'Son of man, say to it, Thou [art] a land, It [is] not cleansed nor rained on in a day of indignation.
« Mwana na moto, loba na Yelusalemi: ‹ Ozali mabele oyo epetolamaki te mpe enokelaki mvula te na mokolo ya kanda na Ngai ya makasi. ›
25 A conspiracy of its prophets [is] in its midst, as a roaring lion tearing prey; The soul they have devoured, Wealth and glory they have taken, Its widows have multiplied in its midst.
Basakoli na yo bazali kosala likita; lokola nkosi oyo ezali koganga tango ezali kopasola nyama na yango, bazali koboma bato, kobotola bomengo mpe biloko ya motuya ya bato mpe kokomisa ebele kati na yango, basi bakufisa mibali.
26 Its priests have wronged My law, And they pollute My holy things, Between holy and common they have not made separation, And between the unclean and the clean they have not made known, And from my sabbaths they have hidden their eyes, And I am pierced in their midst.
Banganga-Nzambe na yango bazali kobuka mobeko na Ngai mpe bazali kobebisa bosantu ya biloko na Ngai ya bule, bazali kosala bokeseni te kati na biloko ya bule mpe biloko mosusu, bazali kosunga bato te ete bayeba kosala bokeseni kati na makambo oyo ezali mbindo mpe oyo ya peto; bakangeli Basaba na Ngai miso, boye babulisi Ngai te kati na bango.
27 Its princes in its midst [are] as wolves, Tearing prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, For the sake of gaining dishonest gain.
Bakalaka kati na yango bazali lokola mbwa ya zamba oyo ezali kopasola nyama na yango, bazali kosopa makila mpe koboma bato mpo na kozwa bomengo na nzela ya mabe.
28 And its prophets have daubed for them with chalk, Seeing a vain thing, and divining for them a lie, Saying, 'Thus said the Lord Jehovah:' And Jehovah hath not spoken.
Basakoli na yango bazali kopakola misala na bango ya mabe potopoto ya pembe na nzela ya bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta; bazali koloba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi, › na tango Yawe alobi na Ye eloko moko te.
29 The people of the land have used oppression, And have taken plunder violently away, And humble and needy have oppressed, And the sojourner oppressed — without judgment.
Bato ya mokili bazali koyiba mpe kobotola bato biloko na makasi, bazali konyokola mobola mpe moto oyo akelela, bazali komonisa mopaya pasi na nzela ya kopimela ye bosembo.
30 And I seek of them a man making a fence, And standing in the breach before Me, In behalf of the land — not to destroy it, And I have not found.
Nalukaki ata moto moko kati na bango, oyo akokaki kotonga mir mpe kotelema liboso na Ngai, na lidusu ya mir mpo na bolamu ya mokili mpo ete nakoka kobebisa yango te, kasi namonaki ata moto moko te.
31 And I pour out on them mine indignation, By fire of My wrath I have consumed them, Their way on their own head I have put, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah!'
Yango wana, nakosopela bango kanda na Ngai ya makasi mpe natumba bango na moto ya kanda na Ngai, nakopesa bango etumbu kolanda etamboli na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
