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, thou dwellest in the midst of a provoking house: who have eyes to see, and see not: and ears to hear, and hear not: for they are a provoking house.
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.
Thou, therefore, O son of man, prepare thee all necessaries for removing, and remove by day in their sight: and thou shalt remove out of thy place to another place in their sight, if so be they will regard it: for they are a provoking house.
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.
And thou shalt bring forth thy furniture as the furniture of one that is removing by day in their sight: and thou shalt go forth in the evening in their presence, as one goeth forth that removeth his dwelling.
5 Tobola mir na miso na bango mpe bimisa bisaka na yo na lidusu oyo okosala.
Dig thee a way through the wall before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth 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. »
In their sight thou shalt be carried out upon men’s shoulders, thou shalt be carried out in the dark: thou shalt cover thy face, and shalt not see the ground: for I have set thee for a sign of things to come to the house 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.
I did therefore as he had commanded me: I brought forth my goods by day, as the goods of one that removeth: and in the evening I digged through the wall with my hand: and I went forth in the dark, and was carried on men’s shoulders in their sight.
8 Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came to me in the morning, saying:
9 « Mwana na moto, libota ya batomboki ya Isalaele oyo, batunaki yo te: ‹ Ozali kosala nini? ›
Son of man, hath not the house of Israel, the provoking house, said to thee: What art thou 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. ›
Say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: This burden concerneth my prince that is in Jerusalem, and all the house of Israel, that are among them.
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 a sign of things to come to you: as I have done, so shall it be done to them: they shall be removed from their dwellings, and go into captivity.
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 prince that is in the midst of them, shall be carried on shoulders, he shall go forth in the dark: they shall dig through the wall to bring him out: his face shall be covered, that he may not see the ground with his eyes.
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 I will spread my net over him, and he shall be taken in my net: and I will bring him into Babylon, into the land of the Chaldeans, and he shall not see it, and there he shall die.
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 that are about him, his guards, and his troops I will scatter into every wind: and I will draw out the sword after them.
15 Bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakopanza bango kati na bikolo mosusu mpe kati na mikili mosusu.
And they shall know that I am the Lord, when I shall have dispersed them among the nations, and scattered them in 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. »
And I will leave a few men of them from the sword, and from the famine, and from the pestilence: that they may declare all their wicked deeds among the nations whither they shall go: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And 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, eat thy bread in trouble: and drink thy water in hurry and sorrow.
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: Thus saith the Lord God to them that dwell in Jerusalem in the land of Israel: They shall eat their bread in care, and drink their water in desolation: that the land may become desolate from the multitude that is therein, for the iniquity of all that dwell therein.
20 Bingumba oyo bato bavandaka ekobebisama mpe mokili ekotikala lisusu na bato te, mpe bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
And the cities that are now inhabited shall be laid waste, and the land shall be desolate: and you shall know 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 proverb that you have in the land of Israel? saying: The days shall be prolonged, and every vision shall fail.
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.
Say to them therefore: Thus saith the Lord God: I will make this proverb to cease, neither shall it be any more a common saying in Israel: and tell them that the days are at hand, and the effect of every vision.
24 Bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta ekozala lisusu te kati na bana ya Isalaele.
For there shall be no more any vain visions, nor doubtful divination in the midst of the children of 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 the Lord will speak: and what word soever I shall speak, it shall come to pass, and shall not be prolonged any more: but in your days, ye provoking house, I will speak the word, and will do it, saith the Lord God.
26 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And 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, behold the house of Israel, they that say: The vision that this man seeth, is for many days to come: and this men prophesieth of times afar off.
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. › »
Therefore say to them: Thus saith the Lord God: Not one word of mine shall be prolonged any more: the word that I shall speak shall be accomplished, saith the Lord God.
