Ezekiel 44
1 And he causeth me to turn back the way of the gate of the outer sanctuary that is looking eastward, and it is shut.
Moto yango azongisaki ngai na ekuke ya libanda ya Esika ya bule; Ekuke yango ezalaki na ngambo ya este mpe ezalaki ya kokangama.
2 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'This gate is shut, it is not opened, and none doth go in by it, for Jehovah, God of Israel, hath come in by it, and it hath been shut.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Ekuke oyo ekotikala ya kokangama, bakoki kofungola yango te, mpe moto moko te akoki kokota na nzela na yango. Ekotikala kaka ya kokangama, pamba te Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akotelaki na nzela na yango.
3 The prince, who [is] prince, he sitteth by it to eat bread before Jehovah, by the way of the porch of the gate he cometh in, and by its way he goeth out.'
Kasi mokambi, ye kaka, lokola azali mokambi nde akoki kovanda na kati mpo na kolia bilei liboso ya Yawe; akokotela na nzela ya ndako moke ya kokotela mpe akobimela kaka na nzela wana. »
4 And he bringeth me in the way of the north gate unto the front of the house, and I look, and lo, filled hath the honour of Jehovah the house of Jehovah, and I fall on my face.
Moto yango amemaki ngai lisusu na nzela ya ekuke ya nor kino na liboso ya Tempelo. Tango natalaki, namonaki nkembo na Yawe kotondisa Tempelo ya Yawe, mpe ngai nakweyaki elongi kino na mabele.
5 And Jehovah saith unto me, 'Son of man, set thy heart, and see with thine eyes, and with thine ears hear, all that I am speaking with thee, of all the statutes of the house of Jehovah, and of all its laws; and thou hast set thy heart to the entrance of the house, with all the outlets of the sanctuary,
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, sala keba! Fungola miso na yo mpe yoka na matoyi na yo makambo nyonso oyo nakoyebisa yo na tina na Tempelo mpe mitindo na yango! Sala penza keba na ekotelo ya Tempelo mpe bikuke nyonso ya Esika ya bule.
6 and hast said unto the rebellious, unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Enough to you — of all your abominations, O house of Israel.
Yebisa batomboki oyo, libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh libota ya Isalaele, nalembi misala na bino nyonso ya nkele!
7 In your bringing in sons of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, to be in My sanctuary, to pollute it, even My house, in your bringing near My bread, fat, and blood, and they break My covenant by all your abominations,
Wana bozalaki kobonzela Ngai bilei, mafuta mpe makila ya banyama, bokotisaki kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule bapaya oyo batosaka Ngai te mpe bakatama ngenga te, mpo na kobebisa bosantu ya Tempelo na Ngai; na bongo, bobebisaki boyokani na Ngai mpo na kokokisa misala na bino nyonso ya mbindo!
8 and ye have not kept the charge of My holy things, and ye set [them] for keepers of My charge in My sanctuary for you.
Na esika ete bomipesa na mosala ya biloko na Ngai ya bule, bino bozali nde kopesa mosala na Ngai epai ya bapaya, kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule.
9 'Thus said the Lord Jehovah: No son of a stranger, uncircumcised of heart, and uncircumcised of flesh, cometh in unto My sanctuary, even any son of a stranger, who [is] in the midst of the sons of Israel,
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mopaya moko te oyo atosaka Ngai te mpe oyo akatisa ngenga te akokota na Esika na Ngai ya bule, ezala bapaya oyo bazali kovanda kati na bana ya Isalaele.
10 but — the Levites who have gone far off from me, in the wandering of Israel when they went astray from Me after their idols, and they have borne their iniquity.
Balevi oyo bakomaki mosika na Ngai, tango Isalaele abungaki nzela mpe azalaki koyengayenga mosika na Ngai mpo na kolanda banzambe na bango ya bikeko, bakomema mikumba ya masumu na bango.
11 And they have been in My sanctuary ministrants, overseers at the gates of the house, and ministrants at the house; they slay the burnt-offering and the sacrifice for the people, and they stand before them to serve them.
Kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule, bakosala kaka mosala ya kokengela bikuke ya Tempelo mpe misala mosusu ya Tempelo; bakobanda koboma mpo na bato bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mosusu mpe bakotelema liboso ya bato mpo na kosalela bango.
12 Because that they serve them before their idols, and have been to the house of Israel for a stumbling-block of iniquity, therefore I have lifted up my hand against them — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — and they have borne their iniquity.
Kasi lokola basalelaki bango liboso ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe bakweyisaki libota ya Isalaele na masumu, nalapi ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete bakomema mikumba ya masumu na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
13 And they draw not nigh unto Me to act as My priest, and to draw nigh unto any of My holy things, unto the holy of holies, and they have borne their shame and their abominations that they have done,
Bakopusana lisusu liboso na Ngai te mpo na kosalela Ngai lokola Banganga-Nzambe to pene ya biloko nyonso oyo ebulisami mpo na Ngai to mpe pene ya biloko oyo eleki bule. Boye, bakolata soni ya misala na bango ya nkele.
14 and I made them keepers of the charge of the house, for all its service and for all that is done in it.
Nakopesa bango mokumba ya kobatela Tempelo mpe kosala misala na yango nyonso, nyonso oyo esengeli kosalema kati na yango.
15 'And the priests, the Levites, sons of Zadok, who have kept the charge of My sanctuary in the wandering of the sons of Israel from off Me, they draw near unto Me to serve Me, and have stood before Me, to bring near to Me fat and blood — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah:
Kasi Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali Balevi mpe bakitani ya Tsadoki, oyo bakobaki kobatela na boyengebene misala na bango kati na Esika na Ngai ya bule tango bana ya Isalaele babungaki nzela na Ngai, bakopusana pene na Ngai mpo na kosalela Ngai; bakotelema liboso na Ngai mpo na kobonza bambeka ya mafuta mpe makila ya banyama, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
16 they come in unto My sanctuary, and they draw near unto My table to serve Me, and they have kept My charge.
Bango kaka nde bakokota na Esika na Ngai ya bule, bakopusana pene ya mesa na Ngai mpo na kosalela Ngai mpe kokokisa mosala na Ngai.
17 And it hath come to pass, in their going in unto the gates of the inner court, linen garments they put on; and no wool cometh up on them in their ministering in the gates of the inner court and within.
Tango bakokota na bikuke ya lopango ya kati, basengeli kolata bilamba ya lino; bakoki kolata bilamba oyo basala na bapwale ya meme te tango bakozala kosala mosala na bikuke ya lopango ya kati to kati na Tempelo.
18 Linen bonnets are on their head, and linen trousers are on their loins, they are not restrained with sweat.
Bakolata bitendi ya lino na mito na bango mpe bakaputula ya lino na baloketo na bango; bakoki kolata te bilamba oyo etokisaka bato.
19 And in their going forth unto the outer court — unto the outer court unto the people — they strip off their garments, in which they are ministering, and have placed them in the holy chambers, and have put on other garments; and they do not sanctify the people in their own garments.
Tango bakobima mpo na kokende na lopango ya libanda, na esika oyo bato bazalaka, bakolongola bilamba oyo bazalaki kosalela mosala na kati mpe bakotika yango kati na bashambre ya bule; bakolata bilamba mosusu mpo ete babulisa bato te na nzela ya bilamba na bango.
20 And their head they do not shave, and the lock they do not send forth; they certainly poll their heads.
Banganga-Nzambe bakoki te kokokola suki ya mito na bango to kokolisa makasi suki na bango; kasi basengeli kokata suki na bango malamu.
21 And no priest doth drink wine in their coming in unto the inner court.
Nganga-Nzambe moko te akomela masanga ya vino liboso ete akota na lopango ya kati.
22 And a widow and divorced woman they do not take to them for wives: but — virgins of the seed of the house of Israel, and the widow who is widow of a priest, do they take.
Bakoki kobala te basi oyo bakufisa mibali to basi oyo bakabwana na mibali na bango na libala, kasi bakobala kaka bilenge basi ya Isalaele oyo bayebi nanu nzoto ya mibali te to basi ya Banganga-Nzambe oyo basila kokufa.
23 'And My people they direct between holy and common, and between unclean and clean they cause them to discern.
Bakoteya bato ete bayeba kosala bokeseni kati na biloko ya bule mpe oyo ya bule te, kati na biloko ya mbindo mpe oyo ya peto.
24 And concerning controversy, they stand up for judgment; with My judgments they judge it; and My law and My statutes in all My appointed places they keep; and My sabbaths they sanctify.
Na tango ya matata, Banganga-Nzambe bakotelema lokola basambisi mpo na kokata makambo kolanda mibeko, bakotosa mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai, bafeti na Ngai, oyo ekatama mpe bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
25 And unto any dead man they come not for uncleanness, but for father, and for mother, and for son, and for daughter, for brother, for sister who hath not been to a man, they defile themselves.
Nganga-Nzambe moko te akomikomisa mbindo na kopusana pene ya moto ya kokufa. Nzokande, akoki kondima komikomisa mbindo soki moto oyo akufi azali tata to mama na ye, mwana na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi, ndeko na ye ya mobali to ya mwasi oyo amibalelaki te.
26 'And after his cleansing, seven days they number to him.
Sima na kopetolama na ye, akozela mikolo sambo.
27 And in the day of his coming in unto the sanctuary, unto the inner court, to minister in the sanctuary, he bringeth near his sin-offering — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
Na mokolo oyo akokota kati na Esika ya bule, kati na lopango ya kati mpo na kosala mosala, akobonza mbeka mpo na masumu na ye moko, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
28 And it hath been to them for an inheritance; I [am] their inheritance: and a possession ye do not give to them in Israel; I [am] their possession.
Tala oyo ekozala libula ya Banganga-Nzambe: Ngai moko nde nazali libula na bango. Bokopesa bango mabele te kati na Isalaele; Ngai moko nde nakozala mabele na bango.
29 The present, and the sin-offering, and the guilt-offering, they do eat, and every devoted thing in Israel is theirs.
Bakolia makabo ya bambuma, bambeka ya masumu mpe bambeka ya kozongisa boyokani; biloko nyonso oyo, kati na Isalaele, ebulisama mpo na Yawe ekozala ya bango.
30 And the first of all the first-fruits of all, and every heave-offering of all, of all your heave-offerings, are the priests': and the first of your dough ye give to the priest, to cause a blessing to rest on thy house.
Bambuma ya liboso oyo ya kitoko mpe makabo na bino nyonso, kolongola ata eloko moko te, ekozala ya Banganga-Nzambe; bokopesa bango bambuma ya liboso ya bilanga na bino ya ble mpo ete mapamboli ezala kati na bandako na bino.
31 Any carcase and torn thing, of the fowl, and of the beasts, the priests do not eat.
Banganga-Nzambe bakoki kolia te ndeke to nyama oyo ekufi yango moko to oyo nyama mosusu esili koboma.
