Ezekiel 33
1 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 'Son of man, speak unto the sons of thy people, and thou hast said unto them: A land — when I bring in against it a sword, And the people of the land have taken one man out of their borders, And made him to them for a watchman.
« Mwana na moto, loba na bandeko na yo mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Soki nabimisi bitumba na mokili moko, bongo bato ya mokili yango baponi moko kati na bango lokola mokengeli na bango;
3 And he hath seen the sword coming against the land, And hath blown with a trumpet, and hath warned the people,
soki mokengeli yango amoni banguna koya kobundisa mokili na bango mpe abeti kelelo mpo na kokebisa bato.
4 And the hearer hath heard the voice of the trumpet, and he hath not taken warning, And come in doth the sword, and taketh him away, His blood is on his head.
Soki moto moko ayoki lolaka ya kelelo, kasi azwi yango na pamba mpe mopanga ebomi ye, makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko.
5 The voice of the trumpet he heard, And he hath not taken warning, his blood is on him, And he who took warning his soul hath delivered.
Lokola ayokaki lolaka ya kelelo, kasi azwaki likebisi wana na pamba, makila na ye ekotangama na moto na ye moko. Kasi soki azwaki likebisi wana na pamba te, alingaki solo kobikisa bomoi na ye.
6 And the watchman, when he seeth the sword coming in, And he hath not blown with a trumpet, And the people hath not been warned, And come in doth a sword, And taketh away of them — a soul, He in his iniquity is taken away, And his blood from the hand of the watchman I require.
Nzokande, soki mokengeli amoni banguna koya mpe abeti kelelo te mpo na kokebisa bato, bongo mopanga ebomi moko kati na bandeko na ye, ndeko wana akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye, kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto ya mokengeli. ›
7 And thou, son of man, A watchman I gave thee to the house of Israel, And thou hast heard from My mouth a word, And thou hast warned them from Me.
Mwana na moto, nakomisi yo mokengeli mpo na libota ya Isalaele. Boye, yokaka maloba oyo nakobanda koloba mpo na kokebisa bango na Kombo na Ngai.
8 In My saying to the wicked, O wicked one — thou dost surely die, And thou hast not spoken to warn the wicked from his way, He — the wicked — in his iniquity doth die, And his blood from thy hand I require.
Soki nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Oh moto mabe, okokufa solo! › Mpe yo, olobi na ye eloko moko te mpo ete abongola bizaleli na ye, moto mabe wana akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye; kasi nakotanga makila na ye na moto na yo.
9 And thou, when thou hast warned the wicked of his way, to turn back from it, And he hath not turned back from his way, He in his iniquity doth die, And thou thy soul hast delivered.
Kasi soki okebisi moto mabe ete abongola bizaleli na ye, bongo asaleli yango te, akokufa solo mpo na masumu na ye; mpe yo, okobikisa bomoi na yo.
10 And thou, son of man, say unto the house of Israel: Rightly ye have spoken, saying: Surely our transgressions and our sins [are] on us, And in them we are wasting away, How, then, do we live?
Mwana na moto, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala maloba oyo bozali koloba: ‘Ndenge nini penza tokoki lisusu kobika mpo ete mabe mpe masumu na biso ekomi kilo makasi mpo na biso, mpe yango ekomi kobebisa biso?’ ›
11 Say unto them, I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah, I delight not in the death of the wicked, But — in the turning of the wicked from his way, And he hath lived, Turn back, turn back, from your evil ways, Yea, why do ye die, O house of Israel?
Loba na bango: ‹ Na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, nasepelaka na kufa ya moto mabe te; nalingaka nde ete abongola bizaleli na ye mpo ete abika! Bobongwana, bobongwana, oh libota ya Isalaele! Mpo na nini bolingi kaka nzela ya kufa? ›
12 And thou, son of man, say unto the sons of thy people: The righteousness of the righteous doth not deliver him in the day of his transgression, And the wickedness of the wicked, He doth not stumble for it in the day of his turning from his wickedness, And the righteous is not able to live in it in the day of his sinning.
Mwana na moto, loba na bandeko na yo: ‹ Boyengebene ya moto ya sembo ekobikisa ye te soki asali mabe, mpe mabe ya moto mabe ekokweyisa ye te soki atiki yango; moto ya sembo akobika te likolo ya boyengebene na ye ya kala soki asali masumu. ›
13 In My saying of the righteous: He surely liveth, And — he hath trusted on his righteousness, And he hath done perversity, All his righteous acts are not remembered, And for his perversity that he hath done, For it he doth die.
Ata soki nalobi na moto ya sembo ete akowumela solo na bomoi, soki atie elikya na bosembo na ye mpe asali mabe, bosembo na ye nyonso ekotangama lisusu te mpe akokufa mpo na mabe oyo asali.
14 And in My saying to the wicked: Thou surely diest, And — he hath turned back from his sin, And hath done judgment and righteousness,
Soki nalobi na moto mabe: ‹ Okokufa solo; › kasi atiki masumu na ye mpe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima,
15 (The pledge the wicked restoreth, plunder he repayeth, ) In the statutes of life he hath walked, So as not to do perversity, He surely liveth — he doth not die.
soki azongisi ndanga oyo asimbaki na niongo mpe biloko oyo ayibaki, soki atosi mitindo oyo epesaka bomoi mpe atiki kosala mabe, akobika penza, akokufa te.
16 None of his sin that he hath sinned is remembered to him, Judgment and righteousness he hath done, He doth surely live.
Mabe nyonso oyo asalaki ekotangama lisusu te, akobika solo; pamba te asali oyo ezali alima mpe sembo.
17 And the sons of thy people have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, As to them — their way is not pondered.
Bandeko na yo bazali koloba: ‹ Nkolo akataka makambo na bosembo te. › Nzokande, nzela na bango moko nde ezalaka mabe.
18 In the turning back of the righteous from his righteousness, And he hath done perversity — he dieth for it.
Soki moto ya sembo atiki boyengebene na ye mpe akomi kosala mabe, akokufa mpo na mabe yango.
19 And in the turning back of the wicked from his wickedness, And he hath done judgment and righteousness, by them he liveth.
Soki moto mabe akomi kosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya alima, akobika solo mpo ete asali bongo.
20 And ye have said: The way of the Lord is not pondered, Each according to his ways do I judge you, O house of Israel.'
Oh bino, libota ya Isalaele, ndenge nini bokoki penza koloba: ‹ Nkolo akataka makambo na bosembo te! › Solo, nakosambisa moko na moko kati na bino kolanda etamboli na ye! »
21 And it cometh to pass, in the twelfth year — in the tenth [month], in the fifth of the month — of our removal, come in unto me doth one who is escaped from Jerusalem, saying, 'The city hath been smitten.'
Na mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya zomi na mibale ya bowumbu na biso, moko kati na bato oyo babikaki na Yelusalemi ayaki epai na ngai mpe alobaki: « Babebisi engumba! »
22 And the hand of Jehovah hath been unto me in the evening, before the coming in of the escaped one, and He openeth my mouth till the coming in unto me in the morning, and opened is my mouth, and I have not been silent again.
Nzokande, na pokwa, liboso ete moto yango aya epai na ngai, loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai mpe afungolaki monoko na ngai liboso ete moto yango akoma epai na ngai na tongo. Monoko na ngai efungwamaki mpe nakomaki koloba.
23 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
24 'Son of man, the inhabitants of these wastes on the ground of Israel are speaking, saying: Alone hath been Abraham — and he possesseth the land, and we [are] many — to us hath the land been given for a possession.
« Mwana na moto, bavandi ya bisika oyo ebeba kati na mokili ya Isalaele bazali koloba: ‹ Abrayami azalaki kaka ye moko tango azwaki mokili lokola libula; nzokande biso, tozali ebele; boye, solo, mokili epesameli biso lokola libula! ›
25 Therefore say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: With the blood ye do eat, And your eyes ye lift up unto your idols, And blood ye shed, and the land ye inherit!
Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Boni, ndenge bozali nanu kolia misuni mpe makila na yango, bongo bozali kotalela banzambe na bino ya bikeko mpe kosopa makila ya bato, bozwa solo mokili lokola libula!
26 Ye have stood on your sword, Ye have done abomination, Each the wife of his neighbour ye have defiled, And the land ye possess!
Bozali kotia elikya na mopanga na bino, bozali kosala makambo ya mbindo, mpe moko na moko kati na bino azali kokomisa mbindo mwasi ya moninga na ye, mpe bozwa penza mokili lokola libula! ›
27 Thus dost thou say unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: I live — do not they who [are] in the wastes by the sword fall? And they who [are] on the face of the field, To the beast I have given for food, And they who are in strongholds and in caves by pestilence die.
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na Kombo na Ngai, bato oyo batikali na bisika oyo ebeba bakokufa na mopanga! Ba-oyo bazali na mboka, nakokaba bango epai ya banyama ya zamba mpo ete eboma bango! Mpe ba-oyo babombami kati na bandako batonga makasi mpe kati na madusu ya mabanga bakokufa na bokono oyo ebomaka;
28 And I have made the land a desolation and an astonishment, And ceased hath the excellency of its strength, And desolated have been mountains of Israel, Without any one passing through.
nakokomisa mokili libebi mpe nakosala ete etikala lisusu na bato te: nakosukisa lolendo na yango, bangomba ya Isalaele ekotikala lisusu na bato te, mpe bato bakotika kolekela wana.
29 And they have known that I [am] Jehovah, In My making the land a desolation and an astonishment, For all their abominations that they have done.
Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakokomisa mokili libebi mpe esobe, likolo ya makambo na bango nyonso ya mbindo oyo bazali kosala. ›
30 And thou, son of man, the sons of thy people who are speaking about thee, By the walls, and in openings of the houses, Have spoken one with another, each with his brother, Saying: Come in, I pray you, And hear what [is] the word that cometh out from Jehovah.
Mpo na yo, mwana na moto, bandeko na yo bazali kolobana bango na bango na bamir mpe na bikuke ya bandako na bango na tina na kombo na yo: ‹ Boya koyoka maloba oyo ewuti epai na Yawe! ›
31 And they come in unto thee as the coming in of a people, And they sit before thee — My people, And have heard thy words, and they do them not, For doting loves with their mouth they are making, After their dishonest gain their heart is going.
Bongo bato na Ngai bayei epai na yo ndenge kaka bayaka tango nyonso mpe bavandi liboso na yo mpo na koyoka maloba na yo, kasi batiaka yango na misala te, pamba te minoko na bango ebimisaka kaka makambo oyo esepelisaka mitema na bango, mpe mitema na bango elukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko.
32 And lo, thou [art] to them as a singer of doting loves, A pleasant voice, and playing well on an instrument, And they have heard thy words, and they are not doing them.
Mpo na bango, ozalaka na yo kaka lokola moto oyo ayembaka malamu banzembo ya kitoko, na mongongo ya kitoko, mpe abetaka mindule kitoko; pamba te bayokaka na bango maloba na yo, kasi batiaka yango na misala te.
33 And in its coming in — lo, it hath come, And they have known that a prophet hath been in their midst!'
Tango makambo oyo nyonso ekokokisama —mpe ekokokisama solo— bakososola penza ete mosakoli moko azalaki kati na bango. »
