Ezekieli 2
1 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, telema na makolo na yo; pamba te nazali na likambo ya koyebisa yo. »
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, stand vp vpon thy feete, and I wil speake vnto thee.
2 Wana azalaki nanu koloba, Molimo akotaki kati na ngai mpe atelemisaki ngai na makolo na ngai; bongo nakomaki koyoka Ye koloba na ngai.
And the Spirite entred into me, when he had spoken vnto me, and set me vpon my feete, so that I heard him that spake vnto me.
3 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, nazali kotinda yo epai ya bana ya Isalaele, ekolo ya bato ya mito makasi, bato oyo batombokelaka ngai. Wuta kala kino na mokolo ya lelo, bango mpe batata na bango batombokelaka kaka ngai.
And he said vnto me, Sonne of man, I send thee to the children of Israel, to a rebellious nation that hath rebelled against me: for they and their fathers haue rebelled against me, euen vnto this very day.
4 Bato oyo epai wapi nazali kotinda yo, bazali mito makasi mpe mitema mabanga. Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi. ›
For they are impudent children, and stiffe hearted: I do send thee vnto them, and thou shalt say vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God.
5 Boye, ezala bayokeli yo to baboyi koyokela yo, mpo ete bazali libota ya batomboki, bakososola solo ete mosakoli moko azali kati na bango.
But surely they will not heare, neither in deede will they cease: for they are a rebellious house: yet shall they knowe that there hath bene a Prophet among them.
6 Bongo yo, mwana na moto, kobanga bango te mpe kobanga maloba na bango te, atako banzube mpe basende ezingeli yo mpe ozali kovanda elongo na koto. Kozala na somo ya makambo oyo bazali koloba te mpe kolenga liboso na bango te atako bazali batomboki.
And thou sonne of man, feare them not, neither be afraide of their wordes, although rebels, and thornes be with thee, and thou remainest with scorpions: feare not their wordes, nor be afrayde at their lookes, for they are a rebellious house.
7 Osengeli koyebisa bango maloba na ngai, ezala bayokeli yo to bayokeli yo te, mpo ete bazali batomboki.
Therefore thou shalt speake my words vnto them: but surely they will not heare, neither will they in deede cease: for they are rebellious.
8 Kasi yo, mwana na moto, yoka makambo oyo nazali koloba na yo. Kotombokela ngai te lokola libota ya batomboki oyo! Fungola monoko na yo mpe lia oyo nazali kopesa yo! »
But thou sonne of man, heare what I say vnto thee: be not thou rebellious, like this rebellious house: open thy mouth, and eate that I giue thee.
9 Bongo natalaki mpe namonaki loboko moko esembolama kino epai na ngai mpe esimbaki mokanda lokola buku elingama.
And when I looked vp, beholde, an hande was sent vnto me, and loe, a roule of a booke was therein.
10 Loboko yango efungolaki mokanda yango liboso na ngai. Na bangambo na yango nyonso mibale, bakomaki: basango ya bileli, ya mikakatano mpe ya pasi.
And he spred it before me, and it was written within and without, and there was written therein, Lamentations, and mourning, and woe.
