Ezekieli 13
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Yahweh gave me another message. [He said, ]
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!
“You human, [a warning] against the prophets in Israel who are prophesying. Some of them are prophesying things that they themselves have imagined/thought. Say to them: 'Listen to what Yahweh says!
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.
He says, “Terrible things will happen to those wicked prophets who proclaim their own ideas and have not seen [visions from me].
4 Oh Isalaele, basakoli na yo bazali lokola bambwa ya zamba kati na bisika oyo etonda na biloko ebeba.
You Israeli people, your prophets [as useless] as [SIM] jackals/wolves [that only dig] through the [of a city].
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.
Those prophets have not helped you Israeli people [MTY] to repair the places where [city] walls have (been broken/crumbled). That needs to be done in order that the walls will be strong at the time when I, Yahweh, [allow your enemies] to attack you.
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!
The visions and prophecies of those prophets are false. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have not sent [to you to be my prophets]. But they expect that what they prophesy will truly happen!
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?
They say that they have seen visions, but those visions are false, and the things that they prophesy are lies [RHQ]. They say, 'Yahweh told me this,' but I have told them 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.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because you prophets have said what is false, and because your visions are lies, I am opposed to you.
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.
I will strike/punish all you prophets who falsely say that you have seen visions and prophesy things that are lies. You will not have any place among my people, your names will not be listed in the records of the Israeli people, and you will never return to Israel. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].”
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,
They deceive my people, saying “Things will go well for us,” when things will not go well. [It as though] [MET] the people have built a shaky/weak wall, and the prophets cover it with (whitewash/white paint) [to make people think that it is a very strong wall].
11 yebisa bato oyo bapakolaka yango potopoto ya pembe ete mir ekokweya. Nakonokisa mvula moko ya makasi mpe ya mabanga, bongo mipepe makasi ekotomboka.
So, tell those prophets who cover the wall with whitewash that the wall will surely fall down. It will rain very hard. I will send big hailstones to fall. Very strong winds will blow against it.
12 Tango mir yango ekokweya, bato bakotuna bino: ‘Mosala nini penza potopoto ya pembe esali?’
When the wall falls down, the people will certainly say to those prophets, “The white paint certainly did not [RHQ] make the wall strong!”
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.
So this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, say: “Because I am very angry with you, [I will send enemy armies to destroy Jerusalem. It will be as though] [MET] I will send a very strong wind and hailstones and very heavy rains to destroy you.”
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.
[The false prophecies of your prophets are like] [MET] a wall that they have covered with whitewash, but I will break it down, and shatter it down to the ground, with the result that people can see its foundations. When the wall collapses, you also will be killed, and everyone will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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;
In that way I will show that I am very angry [the people who built] the wall and those who covered it with (whitewash/white paint). Then I will say to you, “The wall is destroyed/gone, and those prophets who put (whitewash/white paint) on it have been killed.”
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.’ ›
Those are the prophets who prophesied that things would go well for the people in Jerusalem, when things would not go well for them.
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
So, you human, show that you are angry with [IDM] the women of Jerusalem who prophesy things that they themselves have imagined.
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?
Tell them, “This is what Yahweh the Lord says: Terrible things will happen to you women who fasten magic charms on your wrists and make veils of various sizes to put on your heads in order to deceive the people. [You think that] [RHQ] you will deceive [by telling them that you know what will happen in the future], and that you will save your own lives.
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.
You dishonored [by telling lies] in order to get from my people a few handfuls of barley and a few pieces of bread. My people listen to lies; and you women who are lying to them have caused to be killed people who did not deserve to die and have (spared/allowed to remain alive) those who should not continue to live.”
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.
Therefore, this is what I, Yahweh the Lord, [to those women]: “I detest your magic charms by which you deceive people like [SIM] [people trap] birds. I will tear those charms off your wrists, and I will cause the people whom you have deceived to no longer be deceived by you.
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.
I will also tear off your veils and rescue my people from continuing to be deceived by you, and they will no longer be under your control. Then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].
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,
You have discouraged righteous people by telling them lies when I did not [do things to] cause them to be sad. And you have encouraged wicked people to not turn away from their wicked behavior; if they had done that, they would have continued to remain alive.
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. › »
Therefore, you will no longer falsely say that you have seen visions or tell people what will happen in the future [in order to please them]. I will rescue my people from being deceived by you. And then you will know that I, Yahweh, [have the power to do what I say that I will do].” '”
