Ezekieli 12
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
The word of the Lord came unto 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, in the midst of a rebellious family art thou dwelling, who have eyes to see, and see not; who have ears to hear, and hear not; for they are a rebellious family.
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.
But thou, O son of man, prepare for thyself vessels for going into exile, and wander away by day before their eyes; and thou shalt wander away from thy place to another place before their eyes: perhaps they may become aware that they are a rebellious family.
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.
Then shalt thou carry forth thy vessels, like vessels of exile, by day before their eyes: and thou shalt go forth at evening before their eyes, as they do that go forth into exile.
5 Tobola mir na miso na bango mpe bimisa bisaka na yo na lidusu oyo okosala.
Before their eyes break a hole through the wall, and carry [them] 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. »
Before their [eyes] shalt thou bear them upon thy shoulders, in the dark shalt thou carry them forth: thy face shalt thou cover, that thou mayest not see the ground; for as a token have I set thee unto 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.
And I did so as I had been commanded; my vessels I carried forth by day, like vessels of exile, and in the evening I broke a hole for myself through the wall with my hand: in the dark I brought them forth, and I bore them upon my shoulder before their eyes.
8 Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came unto me in the morning, saying,
9 « Mwana na moto, libota ya batomboki ya Isalaele oyo, batunaki yo te: ‹ Ozali kosala nini? ›
Son of man, have not the house of Israel, the rebellious family, said unto thee, What doest thou?
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 thou unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, For the prince in Jerusalem is the doom, and for all the house of Israel, [and those] that are in the midst of 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 your token; just as I have done, so shall it be done unto them: into exile, into captivity, shall they wander.
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 among them shall bear upon his shoulder in the dark, and shall go forth; through the wall shall they break a hole to carry [things] through it: his face shall he cover up, 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 out my net over him, and he shall be caught in my snare: and I will bring him to Babylon into the land of the Chaldeans; yet shall he not see it, and there shall he 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 round about him, those who assist him, and all the wings of his armies will I disperse toward every wind; and the sword will I draw out 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 scatter them among the nations, and disperse 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. »
But I will leave of them men few in number from the sword, from the famine, and from the pestilence: in order that they may relate all their abominations among the nations whither they shall have come; 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, thy bread shalt thou eat with quaking, and thy water shalt thou drink with trembling and with anxious 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 thou shalt say unto the people of the land, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal concerning the inhabitants of Jerusalem, [and] concerning the land of Israel, Their bread shall they eat with anxious care, and their water shall they drink with confusion, for the cause that her land will be desolate, deprived of its plenteousness because of the violence of all those 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 inhabited shall be laid in ruins, and the land shall be made desolate: and ye shall know that I am the Lord.
21 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came unto 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 sort of proverb is that which ye have in the land of Israel, saying, The days are lasting long, and lost is every vision?
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.
Therefore say unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will cause this proverb to cease, and they shall no more use it as a proverb in Israel; but speak unto them, The days are coming nigh, and the word of every vision.
24 Bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta ekozala lisusu te kati na bana ya Isalaele.
For there shall be no more any false vision and a deceptive divination within the house 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 am the Lord, —I do speak, and whatever word I do speak shall be done; it shall not be delayed any more; for in your days, O rebellious family, will I speak the word, and I will execute it, saith the Lord Eternal.
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 say, The vision that he foreseeth is for distant days, and for times that are far off doth he prophesy.
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 unto them, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, There shall not be delayed any more one of all my words; but whatever word I do speak shall be done, saith the Lord Eternal.
