Ezekieli 12
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, ozali kovanda kati na libota ya batomboki; bazalaka na miso ya kotala kasi bamonaka te, bazalaka na matoyi ya koyoka kasi bayokaka te, pamba te bazali libota ya batomboki.
Son of man, you are living among an uncontrolled people, who have eyes to see but see not, and ears for hearing but they do not give ear; for they are an uncontrolled people.
3 Yango wana, mwana na moto, kangisa bisaka na yo lokola moto oyo azali kokende na bowumbu mpe kende na bowumbu na moyi makasi, na miso na bango. Telema na esika oyo ozali mpe kende na esika mosusu na miso na bango; tango mosusu bakoki kososola, atako bazali libota ya batomboki.
And you, O son of man, by day, before their eyes, get ready the vessels of one who is taken away, and go away from your place to another place before their eyes: it may be that they will see, though they are an uncontrolled people.
4 Bimisa bisaka na yo na libanda, na moyi makasi na miso na bango; mpe na pokwa, kende ndenge bato bakendaka na bowumbu na miso na bango.
By day, before their eyes, take out your vessels like those of one who is taken away: and go out in the evening before their eyes, like those who are taken away as prisoners.
5 Tobola mir na miso na bango mpe bimisa bisaka na yo na lidusu oyo okosala.
Make a hole in the wall, before their eyes, and go out through it.
6 Tia yango na mapeka na yo na miso na bango, mpe kende na yango na butu. Bomba elongi na yo mpo ete okoka komona mokili te, pamba te nalingi ete ozala elembo mpo na libota ya Isalaele. »
And before their eyes, take your goods on your back and go out in the dark; go with your face covered: for I have made you a sign to the children of Israel.
7 Boye, nasalaki makambo oyo atindaki ngai: na moyi, nabimisaki bisaka na ngai lokola moto oyo azali kokende na bowumbu; na pokwa, maboko na ngai etobolaki mir, bongo na butu, nabimisaki bisaka na ngai mpe natiaki yango na mapeka, na miso na bango.
And I did as I was ordered: I took out my vessels by day, like those of one who is taken away, and in the evening I made a hole through the wall with a tent-pin; and in the dark I went out, taking my things on my back before their eyes.
8 Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And in the morning the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
9 « Mwana na moto, libota ya batomboki ya Isalaele oyo, batunaki yo te: ‹ Ozali kosala nini? ›
Son of man, has not Israel, the uncontrolled people, said to you, What are you doing?
10 Yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lisakoli oyo ezali na tina na mokambi oyo azali na Yelusalemi elongo na libota mobimba ya Isalaele, oyo bazali kuna. ›
You are to say to them, This is what the Lord has said: This word has to do with the ruler in Jerusalem and all the children of Israel in it.
11 Loba na bango: ‹ Nazali elembo mpo na bino. › Ndenge Ngai nasali, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema epai na bango: bakokende na bowumbu lokola bakangami.
Say, I am your sign: as I have done, so will it be done to them: they will go away as prisoners.
12 Mokambi oyo azali kati na bango akotia bisaka na ye na mapeka mpe akokima na butu; bakotobola mir mpo na kobimisa ye na lidusu oyo bakosala. Akobomba elongi na ye mpo ete amona mokili te.
And the ruler who is among them will take his goods on his back in the dark and go out: he will make a hole in the wall through which to go out: he will have his face covered so that he may not be seen.
13 Nakotiela ye motambo na Ngai, mpe akokangama penza na motambo yango; nakomema ye na Babiloni, mokili ya bato ya Chalide; kasi akomona yango te mpe akokufela kuna.
And my net will be stretched out on him, and he will be taken in my cords: and I will take him to Babylon to the land of the Chaldaeans; but he will not see it, and there death will come to him.
14 Nakopanza bato na ye, oyo atielaka motema na bisika nyonso: bakalaka mpe mampinga na ye; mpe nakolanda bango na mopanga ya minu.
And all his helpers round about him and all his armies I will send in flight to every wind; and I will let loose a sword after them.
15 Bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakopanza bango kati na bikolo mosusu mpe kati na mikili mosusu.
And they will be certain that I am the Lord, when I send them in flight among the nations, driving them out through the countries.
16 Kasi kati na bango, nakobikisa ndambo ya bato oyo bakokufa te na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka, mpo ete batatola misala na bango nyonso ya mbindo kati na bikolo epai wapi bakokende. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »
But a small number of them I will keep from the sword, from the need of food, and from disease, so that they may make clear all their disgusting ways among the nations where they come; and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
17 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
18 « Mwana na moto, zala na kolenga wana ozali kolia bilei mpe zala na pasi na motema mpe na komitungisa wana ozali komela mayi na yo;
Son of man, take your food with shaking fear, and your water with trouble and care;
19 mpe loba na bato ya mokili oyo: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi epai ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpe ya mokili ya Isalaele: Bakolia bilei na bango na kobanga mpe bakomela mayi na bango na somo; pamba te bakobotola na makasi biloko nyonso ya mokili na bango, likolo ya mabe nyonso ya bavandi na yango.
And say to the people of the land, This is what the Lord has said about the people of Jerusalem and the land of Israel: They will take their food with care and their drink with wonder, so that all the wealth of their land may be taken from it because of the violent ways of the people living in it.
20 Bingumba oyo bato bavandaka ekobebisama mpe mokili ekotikala lisusu na bato te, mpe bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
And the peopled towns will be made waste, and the land will become a wonder; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
21 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
22 « Mwana na moto, bolobaka lisese nini kati na mokili ya Isalaele: ‹ Mikolo ezali koleka mpe bimoniseli ezali kokokisama te? ›
Son of man, what is this saying which you have about the land of Israel, The time is long and every vision comes to nothing?
23 Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakosukisa lisese oyo mpe nakosala ete balobaka yango lisusu te kati na Isalaele. › Loba na bango lisusu: ‹ Tango ekomi pene oyo bimoniseli nyonso ekokokisama.
For this cause say to them, This is what the Lord has said: I have made this saying come to an end, and it will no longer be used as a common saying in Israel; but say to them, The days are near, and the effect of every vision.
24 Bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta ekozala lisusu te kati na bana ya Isalaele.
For there will be no more false visions or smooth use of secret arts in Israel.
25 Kasi Ngai Yawe, nakoloba maloba oyo nalingi koloba, mpe maloba yango ekokokisama na mwa tango moke; pamba te kaka na tango oyo bozali na bomoi, bino libota ya batomboki, Ngai nakokokisa maloba nyonso oyo nakoloba, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
For I am the Lord; I will say the word and what I say I will do; it will not be put off: for in your days, O uncontrolled people, I will say the word and do it, says the Lord.
26 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Again the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
27 « Mwana na moto, libota ya Isalaele bazali koloba: ‹ Emoniseli ya moto oyo ekosalema na yango lobi te mpe masakoli na ye ekokokisama sima na mibu ebele penza. ›
Son of man, see, the children of Israel say, The vision which he sees is for the days which are a long way off, and his words are of times still far away.
28 Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Liloba na Ngai ata moko te ekowumela lisusu mpo na kokokisama. Maloba nyonso oyo nakoloba ekokokisama, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
Say to them then, This is what the Lord has said: Not one of my words will be put off any longer, but what I say I will do, says the Lord.
