Ezekieli 13
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, sakola mabe na tina na basakoli ya Isalaele, oyo bazali kosakola sik’oyo; loba na ba-oyo bazali kosakola makambo oyo ezali kowuta na mitema na bango moko: ‹ Boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
Son of man, be a prophet against the prophets of Israel, and say to those prophets whose words are the invention of their hearts, Give ear to the word of the Lord;
3 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na basakoli ya bazoba, oyo balandaka makanisi ya mitema na bango moko! Nzokande bamonaki eloko moko te.
This is what the Lord has said: A curse on the foolish prophets who go after the spirit which is in them and have seen nothing!
4 Oh Isalaele, basakoli na yo bazali lokola bambwa ya zamba kati na bisika oyo etonda na biloko ebeba.
O Israel, your prophets have been like jackals in the waste places.
5 Bomataki te na mir mpo na kobamba madusu mpe kozingela libota ya Isalaele na mir zingazinga mpo na kobatela yango na tango ya bitumba, na mokolo ya Yawe.
You have not gone up into the broken places or made up the wall for the children of Israel to take your place in the fight in the day of the Lord.
6 Bimoniseli na bango ezali ya pamba, mpe masakoli na bango ezali ya lokuta. Balobaka: ‘Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi,’ nzokande Ngai Yawe, natindi bango te. Mpe bazelaka ete maloba na bango ekokisama!
They have seen visions without substance and made use of secret arts, who say, The Lord has said; and the Lord has not sent them: hoping that the word would have effect.
7 Boni, bimoniseli na bino ezalaka ya pamba te, mpe masakoli na bino ezalaka ya lokuta te, atako bolobaka: ‘Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi,’ nzokande Ngai nalobi na bino ata liloba moko te?
Have you not seen a vision without substance and have you not falsely made use of secret arts, when you say, The Lord has said; though I have said nothing?
8 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mpo ete bolobaka masakoli ya pamba mpe bimoniseli ya lokuta, Ngai moko natelemeli bino, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
So this is what the Lord has said: Because your words are without substance and your visions are false, see, I am against you, says the Lord.
9 Loboko na Ngai ekobeta basakoli oyo balobaka masakoli ya pamba mpe bimoniseli ya lokuta: bakozala na esika te kati na lisanga ya bato na Ngai, bakombo na bango ekokomama te kati na buku ya libota ya Isalaele, bakokoma te kino na mokili ya Isalaele. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe.
And my hand will be against the prophets who see visions without substance and who make false use of secret arts: they will not be in the secret of my people, and they will not be recorded in the list of the children of Israel, and they will not come into the land of Israel; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
10 Boye, lokola bapengwisaka bato na Ngai tango balobaka: ‘Kimia,’ na tango kimia ezali te; lokola bapakolaka potopoto ya pembe na mir oyo bato na Ngai basili kotonga,
Because, even because they have been guiding my people into error, saying, Peace; when there is no peace; and in the building of a division wall they put whitewash on it:
11 yebisa bato oyo bapakolaka yango potopoto ya pembe ete mir ekokweya. Nakonokisa mvula moko ya makasi mpe ya mabanga, bongo mipepe makasi ekotomboka.
Say to those who put whitewash on it, There will be an overflowing shower; and you, O ice-drops, will come raining down; and it will be broken in two by the storm-wind.
12 Tango mir yango ekokweya, bato bakotuna bino: ‘Mosala nini penza potopoto ya pembe esali?’
And when the wall has come down, will they not say to you, Where is the whitewash which you put on it?
13 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakotinda mopepe moko ya makasi, kati na kanda na Ngai, mpe nakonokisa mvula moko ya makasi mpe ya mabanga, kati na kotomboka na Ngai, mpo na kobebisa nyonso nye.
For this reason, the Lord has said: I will have it broken in two by a storm-wind in my passion; and there will be an overflowing shower in my wrath, and you, O ice-drops, will come raining angrily down.
14 Nakokweyisa mir oyo bopakolaki potopoto ya pembe mpe nakolalisa yango kino na se, mpo ete miboko na yango emonana. Tango mir yango ekokweya, ekoboma bino; mpe na bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
So I will let the wall, which you were covering with whitewash, be broken down; I will have it levelled to the earth so that its base is uncovered: it will come down, and destruction will come on you with it; and it will be clear to you that I am the Lord.
15 Nakokweyisela mir mpe bato oyo bapakolaki yango potopoto ya pembe kanda na Ngai; nakoloba na bino: ‘Mir ezali lisusu te! Bato oyo bazalaki kopakola yango potopoto ya pembe bazali lisusu te;
So I will let loose my passion on the wall in full measure, and on those who put whitewash on it; and I will say to you, Where is the wall, and where are those who put whitewash on it?
16 basakoli ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kosakola na tina na Yelusalemi mpe komona bimoniseli ya kimia mpo na yango, nzokande kimia ezali na yango te, bazali lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe.’ ›
Even the prophets of Israel who say words to Jerusalem, who see visions of peace for her when there is no peace, says the Lord.
17 Boye, yo, mwana na moto, tala mpe telemela bilenge basi ya Isalaele, oyo bazali kosakola kolanda makanisi ya mitema na bango moko! Sakola mabe na tina na bango
And you, son of man, let your face be turned against the daughters of your people, who are acting the part of prophets at their pleasure; be a prophet against them, and say,
18 mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na basi oyo balataka basinga ya maji na maboko na bango mpe batongaka bitambala mpo na mito ya bato ya ndenge na ndenge mpo na kotiela bomoi na bango mitambo! Bokanisi ete bokotiela bomoi ya bato na Ngai mitambo mpo ete botikala bino moko kaka na bomoi?
This is what the Lord has said: A curse is on the women who are stitching bands on all arms and putting veils on the heads of those of every size, so that they may go after souls! Will you go after the souls of my people and keep yourselves safe from death?
19 Bozali kobebisa bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai liboso ya bato na Ngai mpo na ndambo ya mbuma ya orje mpe ndambo ya mapa! Tango bozali kokosa bato na Ngai, oyo bazali koyoka makambo ya lokuta, bozali nde koboma bato oyo basengelaki kokufa te, mpe kotika na bomoi bato oyo basengelaki te kozala na bomoi.
And you have put me to shame among my people for a little barley and some bits of bread, sending death on souls for whom there is no cause of death, and keeping those souls living who have no right to life, by the false words you say to my people who give ear to what is false.
20 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Natelemeli basinga na bino ya maji, oyo bozali kosalela mpo na kotiela bato na Ngai mitambo lokola bandeke, nakokata-kata yango mpe nakolongola yango na maboko na bino; mpe nakokangola bomoi ya bato oyo bokangaki na mitambo lokola bandeke.
For this cause the Lord has said: See, I am against your bands with which you go after souls, and I will violently take them off their arms; and I will let loose the souls, even the souls whom you go after freely.
21 Nakopasola bitambala na bino mpe nakokangola bato na Ngai na maboko na bino; bakokweya lisusu te na se ya bokonzi na bino! Mpe na bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
And I will have your veils violently parted in two, and will make my people free from your hands, and they will no longer be in your power for you to go after them; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
22 Lokola bozali kolembisa mitema ya bato ya sembo na nzela ya lokuta na bino, nzokande Ngai moko nalembisaki bango mitema te; lokola bozali kolendisa bato mabe ete bakangama na etamboli na bango ya mabe mpo ete babikisa bomoi na bango te,
Because with your false words you have given pain to the heart of the upright man when I had not made him sad; in order to make strong the hands of the evil-doer so that he may not be turned from his evil way and get life:
23 bokomona lisusu te bimoniseli na bino wana ya pamba mpe bokoloba lisusu masakoli te; nakobikisa bato na Ngai na maboko na bino, mpe, na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
For this cause you will see no more foolish visions or make false use of secret arts: and I will make my people free from your power; and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
