Ezekieli 2
1 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, telema na makolo na yo; pamba te nazali na likambo ya koyebisa yo. »
His appearance [was] of the likeness of the glory of YHWH, and I see, and fall on my face, and I hear a voice speaking, and He says to me, “Son of man, stand on your feet, and I speak with you.”
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] Spirit comes into me when He has spoken to me, and causes me to stand on my feet, and I hear Him who is speaking to 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 says to me, “Son of man, I am sending you to the sons of Israel, to rebelling nations who have rebelled against Me; they and their fathers have transgressed against Me, to 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. ›
And the sons [are] brazen-faced and hard-hearted to whom I am sending you, and you have said to them: Thus said Lord YHWH.
5 Boye, ezala bayokeli yo to baboyi koyokela yo, mpo ete bazali libota ya batomboki, bakososola solo ete mosakoli moko azali kati na bango.
And they—whether they hear, or whether they refrain, for they [are] a house of rebellion—have known that a prophet has been in their midst.
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 you, son of man, you are not afraid of them, indeed, you are not afraid of their words, for briers and thorns are with you, and you are dwelling near scorpions, you are not afraid of their words, and you are not frightened of their faces, for they [are] a house of rebellion,
7 Osengeli koyebisa bango maloba na ngai, ezala bayokeli yo to bayokeli yo te, mpo ete bazali batomboki.
and you have spoken My words to them, whether they hear or whether they refrain, for they [are] a rebellion.
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! »
And you, son of man, hear that which I am speaking to you; do not be of rebellion like the house of rebellion, open your mouth and eat that which I am giving to you.”
9 Bongo natalaki mpe namonaki loboko moko esembolama kino epai na ngai mpe esimbaki mokanda lokola buku elingama.
And I look, and behold, a hand [is] sent forth to me, and behold, a roll of a scroll [is] in it,
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 spreads it before me, and it is written in front and behind, and written on it [are] lamentations, and mourning, and woe!
