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 a spirit lifted me up, and brought me unto the east gate of the LORD'S house, which looketh eastward; and behold at the door of the gate five and twenty men; and I saw in the midst of them Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes 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 He said unto me: 'Son of man, these are the men that devise iniquity, and that 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. ›
that say: The time is not near to build houses! this city is the caldron, and we are the flesh.
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 He said unto me: 'Speak: Thus saith the LORD: Thus have ye said, O house of Israel; for I know the things that come into your mind.
6 Bobomi bato ebele kati na engumba oyo mpe botondisi babalabala na yango na bibembe.
Ye have multiplied your slain in this city, and ye have filled the streets thereof with the slain.
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 thus saith the Lord GOD: Your slain whom ye have laid in the midst of it, they are the flesh, and this city is the caldron; but ye shall be brought forth out of the midst of it.
8 Bozali kobanga mopanga? Solo, Ngai, nakotindela bino mopanga, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
Ye have feared the sword; and the sword will I bring upon you, saith the Lord GOD.
9 nakobengana bino na engumba oyo, nakokaba bino na maboko ya bapaya mpe nakopesa bino etumbu.
And I will bring you forth out of the midst thereof, and deliver you into the hands of strangers, and will execute judgments among you.
10 Bokokufa na mopanga, nakosambisa bino na bandelo ya mokili ya Isalaele, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe.
Ye shall fall by the sword: I will judge you upon the border of Israel; and ye shall 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.
Though this city shall not be your caldron, ye shall be the flesh in the midst thereof; I will judge you upon the border 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 ye shall know that I am the LORD; for ye have not walked in My statutes, neither have ye executed Mine ordinances, but have done after the ordinances of the nations that are 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? »
And it came to pass, when I prophesied, that Pelatiah the son of Benaiah died. Then fell I down upon my face, and cried with a loud voice, and said: 'Ah Lord GOD! wilt Thou make a full end of the remnant of Israel?'
14 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the LORD came unto 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, as for thy brethren, even thy brethren, the men of thy kindred, and all the house of Israel, all of them, concerning whom the inhabitants of Jerusalem have said: Get you far from the LORD! unto us is this land given for 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 say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: Although I have removed them far off among the nations, and although I have scattered them among the countries, yet have I been to them as a little sanctuary in the countries where they are 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. ›
therefore say: Thus saith the Lord GOD: I will even gather you from the peoples, and assemble you out of the countries where ye have been scattered, 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 shall come thither, and they shall take away all the detestable things thereof and all the abominations thereof from thence.
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 one heart, and I will put a new spirit within you; and I will remove the stony heart out of their flesh, and will 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.
that they may walk in My statutes, and keep Mine ordinances, and do them; and they shall 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 them whose heart walketh after the heart of their detestable things and their abominations, I will bring their way upon their own heads, saith 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 did the cherubim lift up their wings, and the wheels were beside them; and the glory of the God of Israel was over them above.
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 the midst of the city, and stood upon the mountain which is on the east side 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 a spirit lifted me up, and brought me in the vision by the spirit of God into Chaldea, to them of the captivity. So the vision that I had seen went up from Me.
25 Bongo nayebisaki bato oyo bazalaki na bowumbu makambo nyonso oyo Yawe alakisaki ngai.
Then I spoke unto them of the captivity all the things that the LORD had shown me.
