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.
And the wind, lifting me up, took me to the east doorway of the Lord's house, looking to the east: and at the door I saw twenty-five men; and among them I saw Jaazaniah, the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah, rulers 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.
Then he said to me, Son of man, these are the men who are designing evil, who are teaching evil ways in this town:
3 Balobaka: ‹ Boni, tango ya kotonga bandako ekoki nanu te? Engumba oyo ezali lokola nzungu, mpe biso, tozali lokola misuni. ›
Who say, This is not the time for building houses: this town is the cooking-pot and we are the flesh.
4 Yango wana, sakola makambo ya mabe na tina na bango; sakola, mwana na moto! »
For this cause be a prophet against them, be a prophet, 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 came on me, and he said to me, Say, These are the words of the Lord: This is what you have said, O children of Israel; what comes into your mind is clear to me.
6 Bobomi bato ebele kati na engumba oyo mpe botondisi babalabala na yango na bibembe.
You have made great the number of your dead in this town, you have made its streets full of dead men.
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.
For this reason the Lord has said: Your dead whom you have put down in its streets, they are the flesh, and this town is the cooking-pot: but I will make you come out from inside it.
8 Bozali kobanga mopanga? Solo, Ngai, nakotindela bino mopanga, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
You have been fearing the sword, and I will send the sword on you, says the Lord.
9 nakobengana bino na engumba oyo, nakokaba bino na maboko ya bapaya mpe nakopesa bino etumbu.
I will make you come out from inside the town and will give you up into the hands of men from other lands, and will be judge among you.
10 Bokokufa na mopanga, nakosambisa bino na bandelo ya mokili ya Isalaele, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe.
You will come to your death by the sword; and I will be your judge in the land of Israel; and you will be certain 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.
This town will not be your cooking-pot, and you will not be the flesh inside it; I will be your judge at the limit of the land 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. »
And you will be certain that I am the Lord: for you have not been guided by my rules or given effect to my orders, but you have been living by the orders of the nations round about 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 while I was saying these things, death came to Pelatiah, the son of Benaiah. Then falling down on my face and crying out with a loud voice, I said, Ah, Lord! will you put an end to all the rest of Israel?
14 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And 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 countrymen, your relations, and all the children of Israel, all of them, are those to whom the people of Jerusalem have said, Go far from the Lord; this land is given to us for a heritage:
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. ›
For this reason say, This is what the Lord has said: Though I have had them moved far off among the nations, and though I have sent them wandering among the countries, still I have been a safe place for them for a little time in the countries where they have come.
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. ›
Then say, This is what the Lord has said: I will get you together from the peoples, and make you come out of the countries where you have been sent in flight, and I will give you the land of Israel.
18 Bakozonga kuna mpe bakolongola bililingi na yango nyonso ya mbindo elongo na banzambe nyonso ya bikeko.
And they will come there, and take away all the hated and disgusting things from it.
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 a new heart, and I will put a new spirit in them; and I will take the heart of stone out of their flesh 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 be guided by my rules and keep my orders and do them: and they will be to me a people, and I will be to them a 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 heart goes after their hated and disgusting things, I will send on their heads the punishment of their ways, says the Lord.
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 wings of the winged ones were lifted up, and the wheels were by their side; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them on high.
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 went up from inside the town, and came to rest on the mountain on the east side of the town.
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 wind, lifting me up, took me in the visions of God into Chaldaea, to those who had been taken away as prisoners. So the vision which I had seen went away from me.
25 Bongo nayebisaki bato oyo bazalaki na bowumbu makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alakisaki ngai.
Then I gave an account to those who had been taken prisoners of all the things which the Lord had made me see.
