Ezekieli 16
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, lakisa Yelusalemi misala na ye ya mbindo!
“Son of man, challenge Jerusalem over her disgusting practices.
3 Yebisa ye boye: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi epai ya Yelusalemi: Bokoko mpe mbotama na yo etalisaka ete ozali moto ya Kanana; tata na yo azalaki moto ya Amori, mpe mama na yo azalaki moto ya Iti.
Tell Jerusalem that this is what the Lord God says to her: You really are a Canaanite, both by your birth and parentage. Your father was an Amorite, and your mother was a Hittite.
4 Na mokolo ya mbotama na yo, bakataki yo motolu te, basukolaki yo na mayi te mpo ete okoma peto, batikalaki kopakola yo mungwa te mpe bazipaki yo bilamba te.
On the day you were born your cord was not cut, and you weren't washed to clean you up, you weren't rubbed with salt, and you weren't wrapped in cloths.
5 Moto moko te ayokelaki yo mawa mpo na kosalela yo ata moko kati na makambo wana. Nzokande, na mokolo ya mbotama na yo, bayinaki yo mpe babwakaki yo na zamba mpo ete bazalaki na somo makasi ya komona yo.
No one looked on you with love to do anything like this for you; no one showed any kind of care for you. No, you were thrown away in a field, abandoned and despised from the day you were born.
6 Boye, Ngai nalekelaki wana mpe namonaki ndenge nini ozalaki kobunda-bunda na kufa kati na makila. Bongo nalobaki na yo: ‘Okozala na bomoi atako ozali kobaluka na makila!’
But I passed by and saw you kicking, covered in your own blood. As you were lying there in your blood I told you, ‘I want you to live!’ I said to you right there, ‘I want you to live!’
7 Nakolisaki yo lokola nzete ya elanga. Bongo tango okolaki penza mpe oyaki monene, okomaki kitoko makasi koleka; tolo na yo ebimisaki mabele, mpe bapwale na yo ekolaki. Kasi ozalaki na yo kaka bolumbu tango nyonso, ozalaki na bilamba te.
I help you to grow like a plant in the field. You grew up into a beautiful young woman. Your breasts developed and your body hair grew, and you were completely naked.
8 Sima na mikolo, tango nalekelaki lisusu wana mpe namonaki yo, nasosolaki ete okokisi mibu ya libala. Nakamataki elamba na Ngai mpe nazipaki bolumbu na yo; nalapaki ndayi ete nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na yo, elobi Nkolo Yawe. Mpe na bongo, okomaki ya Ngai.
When I passed by again, I looked at you and saw that you were old enough for lovemaking. So I spread my robe over you and covered up your naked body. I committed myself to you and made a solemn agreement with you, and made you mine, declares the Lord God.
9 Nasukolaki yo na mayi mpo na kolongola makila oyo ekangamaki yo na nzoto, mpe napakolaki yo mafuta ya solo kitoko.
Then I washed you with water, cleaned off your blood, and anointed you with oil.
10 Nalatisaki yo elamba ya talo batonga bililingi na basinga mpe basapato ya kitoko oyo basala na baposo ya banyama; nalatisaki yo bilamba ya lino ya kitoko mpe nazipaki yo bilamba ya talo.
I put a beautifully embroidered dress on you and gave you fine leather sandals. I clothed you in fine linen and covered you with silk.
11 Nalatisaki yo babiju, mayaka na maboko mpe na kingo.
I gave you jewelry—I put bracelets on your wrists and a necklace around your neck.
12 Nalatisaki yo lopete na zolo, biloko ya matoyi mpe motole ya kitoko na moto.
I put a ring in your nose and earrings on your ears, and placed a beautiful crown on your head.
13 Boye, olataki biloko ya wolo mpe ya palata; bilamba na yo ezalaki ya lino ya kitoko, bilamba ya talo batonga bililingi na basinga. Bilei na yo ezalaki: farine ya ble basangisa na eloko mosusu te, mafuta ya nzoyi mpe mafuta ya olive. Okomaki lisusu kitoko koleka, ozwaki lokumu makasi mpe okomaki lokola mwasi mokonzi.
You wore gold and silver jewelry, and your clothes were made of the finest linen, expensive fabric, and embroidered cloth. You ate bread made with the best flour, and honey and olive oil. You grew even more beautiful and became a queen.
14 Mpo ete kitoko na yo ekomaki ya kokoka, sango na yo epanzanaki kati na bikolo, likolo ya lokumu oyo napesaki yo, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
You were famous around the world because of your beauty, for I used my majestic power to make you so wonderful, declares the Lord God.
15 Kasi okomaki kotia motema na kitoko na yo mpe kosalela lokumu na yo mpo na kosala kindumba. Olakisaki bolumbu na yo na moleki nzela nyonso mpe omipesaki na ye.
You were so proud of your beauty that you were unfaithful to me. You thought that because you were so famous you could prostitute yourself and sleep with anyone who passed by. They took your beautiful body for themselves.
16 Okamataki bilamba na yo mosusu, otongaki yango mpo na kobongisa bisambelo na yo ya likolo ya bangomba, epai wapi osalaki kindumba na yo. Likambo ya bongo etikala nanu kosalema te mpe ekotikala kosalema lisusu te!
You made yourself colorful pagan shrines out of the clothes I'd given you, and there you acted as a prostitute. Things like this have never happened before, and they should never happen in the future!
17 Okamataki lisusu babiju ya kitoko oyo basala na wolo mpe na palata oyo napesaki yo, osalelaki yango bikeko ya mibali; mpe elongo na yango, omipesaki na kindumba.
You also used the beautiful gold and silver jewelry I gave you to make male idols and you prostituted yourself with them.
18 Okamataki bilamba na yo ya talo batonga bililingi na basinga, olatisaki yango bikeko wana mpe obonzelaki yango mafuta mpe ansa na Ngai.
You used your embroidered clothes to dress them, and you placed before them my olive oil and incense.
19 Bilei oyo Ngai nabongiselaki yo: farine ya ble, mafuta ya nzoyi mpe mafuta ya olive, oyo napesaki yo mpo ete oliaka, obonzaki yango epai ya bikeko wana lokola mbeka ya solo kitoko. Yango nde makambo oyo osalaki, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
You presented the food I had given you as an offering for them to accept —bread made from the best flour, olive oil, and honey that I had provided for you to eat. That's exactly what you did, declares the Lord God.
20 Okamataki lisusu bana basi mpe bana mibali oyo obotelaki Ngai, obonzaki bango lisusu lokola bilei epai ya banzambe wana ya bikeko mpo ete elia bango. Boni, kindumba na yo ekokaki kaka te?
You sacrificed your sons and daughters—the children you had for me—offering them as food for idols to eat. Wasn't your prostitution evil enough?
21 Esengelaki solo ete oboma bana na Ngai mpo na kobonza bango lokola makabo epai ya banzambe wana ya bikeko, na kolekisa bango na moto!
You slaughtered my children, sacrificing them to idols.
22 Mpe wana ozalaki kosala makambo na yo nyonso ya nkele mpe kindumba na yo, okanisaki ata moke te bolenge na yo: tango oyo ozalaki bolumbu mpe ozalaki kobunda-bunda kati na makila na yo.
While you were busy with all your disgusting practices and your prostitution, you forgot about the time when you were young, completely naked and lying there kicking in your own blood.
23 Mawa! Mawa penza mpo na yo, elobi Nkolo Yawe; sima na yo kosala mabe wana nyonso,
Disaster is coming! Disaster is coming on you, declares the Lord God. As well as all the other evil things you did,
24 omitongelaki mwa ndako mpo na kosala kindumba mpe obongisaki mpo na yo moko, bisika ya bule na bisika nyonso oyo bato bakutanaka;
you built yourself a pagan shrine, a high place of idol worship on every public square in the city.
25 otongaki yango na bisika nyonso oyo babalabala ekutana, okomisaki kitoko na yo likambo ya nkele mpe omipesaki epai ya moleki nzela nyonso: osalaki penza kindumba makasi.
You made yourselves high places of idol worship at the top of every street; you degraded yourself, offering your beautiful body to anyone who passed by, opening your legs for them, becoming more and more promiscuous.
26 Osalaki kindumba na bato ya Ejipito, baninga na yo, oyo bazali na banzoto ya bingambe; mpe osalaki kindumba makasi mpo na kopesa Ngai kanda.
You gave yourself as a prostitute to your Egyptian neighbors with their large sexual organs, making me angry as you became even more promiscuous.
27 Natombokelaki yo, nabotolaki yo bilei oyo napesaki yo mpe nakabaki yo na maboko ya banguna na yo, bingumba ya bato ya Filisitia, oyo bazalaki mpe kosepela ata moke te na bizaleli na yo ya soni mpe ya mabe.
So I acted to reduce my blessings to you. I let your enemies the Philistines do what they wanted to you. Even they were embarrassed at your immorality.
28 Lokola otondaka te, osalaki lisusu kindumba na bato ya Asiri; mpe, ata sima na yango, otondaki mpe kaka te.
Because you weren't satisfied you prostituted yourself with the Assyrians. But even then you weren't satisfied.
29 Ezala kati na Kanana, pembeni ya Babiloni, okobaki kaka kosala kindumba; kasi atako bongo, otondaki kaka te.
So you took your promiscuous behavior to Babylonia, the country of merchants, but even then you weren't satisfied!
30 Yango motema ya pete ya ndenge nini penza yo ozali na yango, elobi Nkolo Yawe, mpo ete osala makambo oyo nyonso, lokola mwasi ya ndumba oyo akenda sango na mosala na ye ya kindumba!
You're really sick-minded to do all this, acting like a prostitute with no shame, declares the Lord God.
31 Tango ozalaki kotonga mwa bandako ya kindumba na bisika nyonso oyo babalabala ekutana mpe kobongisa bisika ya bule na bisika nyonso oyo bato bakutanaka, ozalaki kosala lokola mwasi ya ndumba nyonso te, pamba te ozalaki kosenga lifuti te.
Actually you weren't even a normal prostitute when you built yourselves pagan shrines at the top of every street and high places of idol worship on every public square—because you refused to be paid for your services!
32 Yo ozali penza mwasi ya ekobo; osepelaka kosangisa nzoto na bapaya, kasi na mobali na yo te.
You're a wife that loves adultery! You sleep with strangers instead of your husband!
33 Basi nyonso oyo basalaka kindumba basengaka lifuti; kasi epai na yo, ezali yo nde opesaka bakado epai ya bamakangu na yo nyonso: na bongo, osombaka mitema na bango mpo ete bawuta bipai na bipai mpe baya kosala ekobo na yo.
Normally all prostitutes are paid, but you were the one giving gifts to all your lovers. You even bribed them to come from all around and have sex with you.
34 Yo, okeseni penza na basi mosusu na kindumba na yo, pamba te mibali balukaka yo te! Yo penza, okeseni na basi mosusu ya ndumba, pamba te ofutaka mibali na esika ete bango bafuta yo.
So you're the opposite of other prostitutes. No one comes to you asking for sex, and you pay the prostitute's fee instead of receiving it. You're the exact opposite!
35 Yango wana, yo mwasi ya ndumba, yoka Liloba na Yawe!
So, you prostitute, listen to the message from the Lord!
36 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola osakanelaki bomengo na yo mpe otandaki bolumbu na yo kati na kindumba na bamakangu na yo mpe na banzambe na yo nyonso ya bikeko, makambo na yo nyonso ya mbindo; mpe lokola obonzelaki banzambe wana ya bikeko makila ya bana na yo ya mibali,
This is what the Lord God says: Because you were so crazy with desire you stripped yourself naked and committed adultery with your lovers and with all your disgusting idols, and because you killed your children as sacrifices to those idols,
37 nazali kosangisa bamakangu na yo nyonso oyo ozalaki kosepela elongo na bango, ba-oyo nyonso ozalaki kolinga mpe ba-oyo nyonso ozalaki koyina; nakosangisa bango wuta na bangambo nyonso mpo ete batombokela yo, mpe nakotanda yo liboso na bango mpo ete bamona bolumbu na yo nyonso.
I'm going to bring together all the lovers you went to bed with, whether you loved them or hated them, and I will have them gather from everywhere around and I will strip you as they watch so they will see you totally naked.
38 Nakopesa yo etumbu oyo ebongi na basi ya ndumba mpe na ba-oyo basopaka makila. Okofuta yango na motuya ya makila na yo, mpo na kanda mpe zuwa ya bolingo na Ngai oyo osambwisi.
I will impose on you the punishment for women who commit adultery and those who murder; you will be punished in passionate anger.
39 Nakokaba yo na maboko ya bamakangu na yo, bakobuka mwa bandako na yo ya kindumba mpe bisika na yo ya bule; bakolongola yo na makasi bilamba mpe babiju ya kitoko mpe bakotika yo bolumbu.
Then I will hand you over to your lovers, and they will demolish your pagan shrines and destroy your high places of idol worship. They will strip you of your clothes, remove your beautiful jewelry, and leave you stark naked.
40 Nakotindela yo bato ebele mpo ete babamba yo mabanga mpe batobola yo na mipanga na bango.
They will come with a mob to attack you. They will stone you and chop you into pieces with their swords.
41 Bakotumba bandako na yo mpe bakopesa yo etumbu na miso ya basi ebele. Nakosukisa kindumba na yo, mpe okofuta lisusu bamakangu na yo te.
They will burn down your houses and punish you while many women watch. I will stop your prostitution, and you won't ever pay your lovers again.
42 Na bongo nde kanda na Ngai epai na yo mpe zuwa ya bolingo na Ngai oyo osambwisaki ekosila; nakovanda kimia mpe nakosilika lisusu te.
Then I will finish being jealous and furious with you. I will calm down and won't be angry any more.
43 Lokola obosanaki mikolo ya bolenge na yo mpe opelisaki kanda na Ngai na nzela ya makambo nyonso ya boye, Ngai mpe nakofuta yo kolanda ndenge etamboli na yo ezali, elobi Nkolo Yawe; boye, okobakisa lisusu makambo mabe te na likolo ya makambo na yo ya mbindo.
Since you didn't remember how I looked after you when you were young, but made me angry with all the things that you did, I will make sure you experience the results of what you've done, declares the Lord God. For this immorality was in addition to all the other disgusting things you did, wasn't it?
44 Moto nyonso oyo alobaka na masese akoloba lisese oyo na tina na yo: ‘Mwana mwasi azalaka kaka ndenge mama na ye azali.’
Everyone who likes to use proverbs will quote this one about you: ‘Like mother, like daughter.’
45 Ozali solo mwana mwasi ya mama na yo, oyo asambwisaki mobali na ye mpe bana na ye ya mibali; ozali solo ndeko mwasi ya bandeko na yo ya basi oyo batiolaki mibali mpe bana na bango. Mama na bino azalaki moto ya mokili ya Iti, mpe tata na yo azalaki moto ya Amori.
You are the daughter of your mother who detested her husband and children. You are just like her! You are the sister of your sisters, just like them who detested their husbands and children. In fact your mother was a Hittite and your father was an Amorite.
46 Kulutu na yo ya mwasi, ezali Samari oyo avandi na ngambo ya nor ya mokili na yo elongo na bana na ye ya basi; leki na yo ya mwasi ezali Sodome oyo avandi na ngambo ya sude ya mokili na yo elongo na bana na ye ya basi.
Your older sister was Samaria, who lived north of you with her daughters. Your younger sister was Sodom, who lived south of you with her daughters.
47 Otambolaki kaka te na banzela na bango mpe olandaki kaka te bizaleli na bango ya mbindo, kasi okomaki mabe koleka bango, na etamboli na yo nyonso.
You didn't just follow their ways and do the same disgusting things they did, you very quickly became even worse than them.
48 Na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, Sodome, ndeko na yo ya mwasi, elongo na bana na ye ya basi batikala nanu kosala te makambo oyo yo elongo na bana na yo ya basi bosali.
As I live, declares the Lord God, your sister Sodom and her daughters didn't ever do what you and your daughters have done.
49 Tala sik’oyo masumu ya Sodome, ndeko na yo ya mwasi: ye elongo na bana na ye ya basi bazalaki bato ya lolendo, mpo ete batondaki na bomengo mpe eloko moko te ezalaki kotungisa bango; basungaki ata moke te babola mpe bato bakelela.
The sins of your sister Sodom were these: She and her daughters were proud, greedy, and lazy. They didn't help the poor and those in need.
50 Bakomaki bato ya lofundu makasi mpe bakomaki kosala makambo ya mbindo na miso na Ngai. Yango wana, nalimwisi bango ndenge ozali komona.
They became arrogant and did disgusting things in my presence. So I got rid of them when I saw this.
51 Samari asalaki te ata kati-kati ya masumu oyo yo osalaki. Osalaki makambo ya mbindo koleka bango; mpe na nzela ya makambo na yo nyonso ya mbindo, osalaki ete bandeko na yo ya basi bamonana lokola bato ya sembo koleka.
Samaria didn't sin half as badly as you did. You have done far more disgusting things than they did. In fact, all the revolting things you've done make your sisters look good!
52 Sik’oyo, yo oyo ozalaki kosambisa bandeko na yo ya basi, lata soni na yo! Lokola masumu na yo ezalaki kutu mabe koleka oyo ya bango, yango wana bazalaki komonana lokola bato ya sembo koleka. Yoka sik’oyo soni mpo ete osili kosambwa, omonisi bandeko na yo ya basi lokola bato ya sembo koleka!
Now you're going to have to put up with your shame, since by your disgraceful sins you made them seem far better. Compared to you they look good! Now you too have to put up with your shame and disgrace because you've made your sisters look as if they were good.
53 Yango wana, nakozongisa lisusu bolamu ya Sodome mpe ya Samari, elongo na bingumba na yango; mpe yo, nakozongisa bolamu na yo kati na yango
Even so I'm going to bring Sodom and her daughters back from exile, and Samaria and her daughters too. I will bring you back together with them.
54 mpo ete oyoka lisusu soni te mpe osambwa lisusu te likolo ya misala na yo mpe likolo ya makambo oyo ezalaki kobondisa bango.
In this way you will have to put up with your disgrace and be ashamed of all the bad things you did that made them feel better about themselves.
55 Sodome mpe Samari elongo na bingumba na yango ekozonga ndenge ezalaki liboso; mpe yo elongo na bingumba na yo, nakozongisa bino ndenge bozalaki liboso.
Your sisters, Sodom with her daughters and Samaria with her daughters, will be restored to what they were before. You and your daughters will also be restored to what you were before.
56 Na mokolo ya lolendo na yo, ozalaki kutu kolobela mabe ya Sodome, ndeko na yo,
Didn't you mock your sister Sodom when you were feeling proud,
57 liboso ete mabe na yo eyebana. Kasi sik’oyo, bingumba ya Siri elongo na bingumba nyonso oyo ezali zingazinga na yango mpe bingumba ya bato ya Filisitia ekomi koseka yo.
before you were shown to be so wicked yourselves? Of course now you are mocked by the Edomites and the surrounding nations, as well as by the Philistines. Everyone around you looks down on you.
58 Okomi sik’oyo komema mikumba ya makambo na yo ya mbindo mpe ya misala na yo ya mabe, elobi Yawe.
You will have to experience the consequences of your immorality and your disgusting practices, declares the Lord.
59 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakosalela yo kolanda misala na yo, pamba te otiolaki ndayi na Ngai na nzela ya kobuka boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo.
This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to punish you according to your sins, because you treated the promise you made with contempt by breaking the agreement.
60 Kasi Ngai, nakokanisa lisusu boyokani na Ngai, oyo nasalaki elongo na yo tango ozalaki nanu elenge, mpe nakosala lisusu mpo na yo, boyokani oyo ekozala na suka te.
But I won't forget the agreement I made with you when you were young, and I will make an everlasting agreement with you.
61 Boye, okokanisa etamboli na yo mpe okoyoka soni tango okoyamba bandeko na yo ya basi, ezala ba-oyo bazali mikolo na yo to ba-oyo bazali baleki na yo; nakopesa yo bango lokola bana na yo ya basi, kasi ekozala te kolanda boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo.
Then you will remember the way you are meant to live and be ashamed when you meet your older and younger sisters when they return to you. I will give them to you as daughters, even though this was not part of our original agreement.
62 Ngai nakosala boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo; mpe na bongo, okososola solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe,
This is how I will endorse my agreement with you, and you will know that I am the Lord,
63 mpo ete okanisa yango lisusu, oyokela yango soni mpe ofungola lisusu monoko na yo te mpo na soni, tango nakolimbisa masumu na yo mpo na mabe nyonso oyo osalaki, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
so that you will remember and be ashamed, and won't ever defend your disgraceful behavior when I forgive you for everything you've done, declares the Lord God.”
