Ezekieli 11
1 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.
Then the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the gate of the house of the LORD that faces east. And there at the entrance of the gate were twenty-five men. Among them I saw Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, who were leaders of the people.
2 Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala bato oyo basalaka mabongisi ya mabe mpe bapesaka batoli ya mabe kati na engumba oyo.
And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.
3 Balobaka: ‹ Boni, tango ya kotonga bandako ekoki nanu te? Engumba oyo ezali lokola nzungu, mpe biso, tozali lokola misuni. ›
They are saying, ‘Is not the time near to build houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat.’
4 Yango wana, sakola makambo ya mabe na tina na bango; sakola, mwana na moto! »
Therefore prophesy against them; prophesy, O son of man!”
5 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.
And the Spirit of the LORD fell upon me and told me to declare that this is what the LORD says: “That is what you are thinking, O house of Israel; and I know the thoughts that arise in your minds.
6 Bobomi bato ebele kati na engumba oyo mpe botondisi babalabala na yango na bibembe.
You have multiplied those you killed in this city and filled its streets with the dead.
7 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.
Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: The slain you have laid within this city are the meat, and the city is the pot; but I will remove you from it.
8 Bozali kobanga mopanga? Solo, Ngai, nakotindela bino mopanga, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
You fear the sword, so I will bring the sword against you, declares the Lord GOD.
9 nakobengana bino na engumba oyo, nakokaba bino na maboko ya bapaya mpe nakopesa bino etumbu.
I will bring you out of the city and deliver you into the hands of foreigners, and I will execute judgments against you.
10 Bokokufa na mopanga, nakosambisa bino na bandelo ya mokili ya Isalaele, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe.
You will fall by the sword, and I will judge you even to the borders of Israel. Then you will know that I am the LORD.
11 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.
The city will not be a pot for you, nor will you be the meat within it. I will judge you even to the borders of Israel.
12 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. »
Then you will know that I am the LORD. For you have neither followed My statutes nor practiced My ordinances, but you have conformed to the ordinances of the nations around you.”
13 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? »
Now as I was prophesying, Pelatiah son of Benaiah died. Then I fell facedown and cried out in a loud voice, “Oh, Lord GOD, will You bring the remnant of Israel to a complete end?”
14 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Then the word of the LORD came to me, saying,
15 « 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. ›
“Son of man, your brothers—your relatives, your fellow exiles, and the whole house of Israel—are those of whom the people of Jerusalem have said, ‘They are far away from the LORD; this land has been given to us as a possession.’
16 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. ›
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘Although I sent them far away among the nations and scattered them among the countries, yet for a little while I have been a sanctuary for them in the countries to which they have gone.’
17 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. ›
Therefore declare that this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘I will gather you from the peoples and assemble you from the countries to which you have been scattered, and I will give back to you the land of Israel.’
18 Bakozonga kuna mpe bakolongola bililingi na yango nyonso ya mbindo elongo na banzambe nyonso ya bikeko.
When they return to it, they will remove all its detestable things and all its abominations.
19 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,
And I will give them singleness of heart and put a new spirit within them; I will remove their heart of stone and give them a heart of flesh,
20 mpo ete balanda bikateli na Ngai mpe batosa mibeko na Ngai. Bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango.
so that they may follow My statutes, keep My ordinances, and practice them. Then they will be My people, and I will be their God.
21 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. »
But as for those whose hearts pursue detestable things and abominations, I will bring their conduct down upon their own heads, declares the Lord GOD.”
22 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.
Then the cherubim, with the wheels beside them, spread their wings, and the glory of the God of Israel was above them.
23 Nkembo na Yawe emataki na likolo longwa kati na engumba mpe ekendeki kotelema na likolo ya ngomba oyo ezalaki na este ya Yelusalemi.
And the glory of the LORD rose up from within the city and stood over the mountain east of the city.
24 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.
And the Spirit lifted me up and carried me back to Chaldea, to the exiles in the vision given by the Spirit of God. After the vision had gone up from me,
25 Bongo nayebisaki bato oyo bazalaki na bowumbu makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alakisaki ngai.
I told the exiles everything the LORD had shown me.
