Ezekieli 21
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
The word of ye Lord came to me againe, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi, loba mpo na kotelemela bisika ya bule mpe sakola mpo na kotelemela Isalaele.
Sonne of man, set thy face toward Ierusalem, and drop thy word toward the holy places, and prophecie against the land of Israel.
3 Loba na mokili ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Natombokeli yo, nakobimisa mopanga na Ngai na ebombelo na yango mpe nakoboma bato, kati na mokili na yo, ezala bato ya sembo to bato mabe.
And say to the land of Israel, Thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I come against thee, and will drawe my sword out of his sheath, and cut off from thee both the righteous and the wicked.
4 Mpo ete nakoboma bato ya sembo mpe ya mabe, mopanga na Ngai ekobima na ebombelo na yango mpo na koboma moto nyonso, wuta na sude kino na nor.
Seeing then that I will cut off from thee both the righteous and wicked, therefore shall my sworde goe out of his sheath against all flesh from the South to the North,
5 Boye, bato nyonso bakososola ete Ngai Yawe nde nabimisi mopanga na Ngai wuta na ebombelo na yango, mpe ekozonga lisusu te. ›
That all flesh may knowe that I the Lord haue drawen my sworde out of his sheath, and it shall not returne any more.
6 Yango wana, mwana na moto, lela! Kende kolela liboso na bango, na motema oyo ebukani mpe ya mawa.
Mourne therefore, thou sonne of man, as in the paine of thy reines, and mourne bitterly before them.
7 Soki batuni yo: ‹ Mpo na nini ozali kolela? › Okozongisela bango: ‹ Ezali mpo na sango oyo ezali koya. › Mitema mpe maboko nyonso ekolemba lokola mayi, bato nyonso bakomitungisa mpe mabolongo nyonso ekolenga. Sango yango ezali koya; solo ekosalema, elobi Nkolo Yawe! »
And if they say vnto thee, Wherefore mournest thou? then answere, Because of the bruite: for it commeth, and euery heart shall melt, and all handes shall be weake, and all mindes shall faint, and all knees shall fall away as water: beholde, it commeth, and shall be done, saith the Lord God.
8 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Againe, the word of the Lord came vnto me, saying,
9 « Mwana na moto, sakola. Loba: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Mopanga, mopanga! Bangalisi mpe bapelisi yango!
Sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God, say, A sworde, a sworde both sharpe, and fourbished.
10 Bapelisi yango mpo na koboma, bangalisi yango mpo na kobimisa mikalikali! Boni, tosepela kaka na lingenda ya bokonzi ya mwana na ngai ya mobali? Mopanga ya mwana na ngai esambwisaka banzete nyonso.
It is sharpened to make a sore slaughter, and it is fourbished that it may glitter: how shall we reioyce? for it contemneth the rod of my sonne, as all other trees.
11 Mopanga epesami mpo ete bangalisa yango, mpo ete basimba yango na loboko; bangalisi yango mpe bapelisi yango mpo ete mobomi asalela yango.
And he hath giuen it to be fourbished, that he may handle it: this sword is sharpe, and is fourbished, that he may giue it into ye hand of the slayer.
12 Mwana na moto, ganga mpe lela makasi! Pamba te mopanga ebimi mpo na koboma bato na ngai, mpo na koboma bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele; babongisami mpo na kokufa na mopanga elongo na bato na ngai. Yango wana, beta tolo na yo!
Cry, and houle, sonne of man: for this shall come to my people, and it shall come vnto all the princes of Israel: the terrours of the sword shall be vpon my people: smite therefore vpon thy thigh.
13 Komekama ekoya penza; mpe likambo nini ekosalema soki lingenda ya bokonzi, oyo mopanga esili kotiola, etikali lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe? ›
For it is a triall, and what shall this be, if the sworde contemne euen the rodde? It shall be no more, saith the Lord God.
14 Boye mwana na moto, sakola mpe beta maboko na yo! Tika ete mopanga eboma mbala mibale to mbala misato! Ezali mopanga oyo ebomaka; ezali solo mopanga oyo ebomaka mingi, mopanga oyo ezingeli bango bisika nyonso.
Thou therefore, sonne of man, prophecie, and smite hand to hand, and let the sworde be doubled: let the sworde that hath killed, returne the third time: it is the sword of the great slaughter entring into their priuie chambers.
15 Mpo ete mitema na bango ekoka kolenga mpe bakufi bazala ebele, nasili kotia mopanga oyo ebomaka na bikuke nyonso ya bingumba na bango. Tala, bangalisi yango mpo ete epela lokola mikalikali; basimbi yango mpo na koboma!
I haue brought the feare of the sword into all their gates to make their heart to faint, and to multiplie their ruines. Ah it is made bright, and it is dressed for the slaughter.
16 Oh mopanga, beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali mpe beta na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi; beta na esika nyonso oyo minu na yo etali!
Get thee alone: goe to the right hande, or get thy selfe to the left hande, whithersoeuer thy face turneth.
17 Ngai mpe, nakobeta maboko na Ngai; mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi ekokita. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. »
I wil also smite mine hands together, and wil cause my wrath to cease. I the Lord haue said it.
18 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
The worde of the Lord came vnto mee againe, saying,
19 « Mwana na moto, sala banzela mibale oyo mopanga ya mokonzi ya Babiloni ekoki kolekela; banzela nyonso mibale ebimela na mokili moko. Na ekotelo ya nzela moko na moko, tia elembo oyo ekolakisa nzela ya engumba.
Also thou sonne of man, appoint thee two wayes, that the sworde of the King of Babel may come: both twaine shall come out of one lande, and chuse a place, and chuse it in the corner of the way of the citie.
20 Sala nzela moko mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Raba, engumba ya bato ya Amoni, mpe nzela mosusu mpo ete mopanga ekoma kino na Yelusalemi, engumba batonga makasi, kati na Yuda.
Appoint a way, that the sworde may come to Rabbath of the Ammonites, and to Iudah in Ierusalem the strong citie.
21 Pamba te mokonzi ya Babiloni akotelema na esika oyo banzela mibale ekutana mpo na kosala makambo ya soloka, akobeta zeke na koningisa makonga ya mike, akotuna banzambe na ye ya bikeko mpe akotala mabale ya banyama.
And the King of Babel stoode at the parting of the way, at the head of the two wayes, consulting by diuination, and made his arrowes bright: hee consulted with idoles, and looked in the liuer.
22 Zeke oyo ekotalisa Yelusalemi ezali kati na loboko na ye ya mobali: kuna na Yelusalemi, akopesa mitindo ya koboma, akobeta mololo ya bitumba, akotia bashar ya bitumba liboso ya bikuke ya engumba, akotonga bamir ya zelo mpe akotimola mabulu ya kobombamela.
At his right hand was the diuination for Ierusalem to appoint captaines, to open their mouth in the slaughter, and to lift vp their voyce with shouting, to laye engines of warre against the gates, to cast a mount, and to builde a fortresse.
23 Kasi lokola basilaki kolapa ndayi ete bakotosa ye, bavandi ya Yelusalemi bakomona yango lokola bimoniseli ya pamba mpe ya lokuta. Kasi mokonzi ya Babiloni akosala ete bakanisa lisusu mabe na bango, mpe akomema bango na bowumbu.
And it shalbe vnto them as a false diuination in their sight for the othes made vnto them: but hee will call to remembrance their iniquitie, to the intent they should be taken.
24 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola mabe na bino ezongeli bino na makanisi, lokola bolakisi Ngai na polele botomboki na bino mpe bomonisi masumu na bino kati na misala na bino nyonso; lokola bosali bongo, bokokende na bowumbu.
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Because ye haue made your iniquitie to bee remembred, in discouering your rebellion, that in al your workes your sinnes might appeare: because, I say, that ye are come to remembrance, ye shall be taken with the hand.
25 Yo mokambi ya Isalaele, moto ya mbindo mpe moto mabe, mikolo ezali koya, tango na yo ya etumbu, mpo na kosukisa mabe na yo!
And thou prince of Israel polluted, and wicked, whose day is come, when iniquitie shall haue an ende,
26 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Longola ye eteni ya elamba ya moto, longola ye motole! Makambo ekobongwana, ekozala lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso! Bato oyo bakitisama bakotombwama, mpe ba-oyo batombwama bakokitisama.
Thus saith the Lord God, I will take away the diademe, and take off the crowne: this shalbe no more the same: I wil exalt the humble, and will abase him that is hie.
27 Libebi! Libebi! Nakokomisa yango libebi. Ekotikala kobonga lisusu te kino tango moto oyo akopesa etumbu, oyo nakopesa ye makoki mpo na yango, akoya. ›
I wil ouerturne, ouerturne, ouerturne it, and it shall be no more vntill he come, whose right it is, and I will giue it him.
28 Mpe yo, mwana na moto, sakola mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na tina na bato ya Amoni mpe mafinga na bango: Mopanga, babimisi mopanga mpo na koboma, bapelisi yango mpo na koboma mpe mpo na kongenga lokola mikalikali!
And thou, sonne of man, prophecie, and say, Thus saith the Lord God to the children of Ammon, and to their blasphemie: say thou, I say, The sword, the sword is drawen foorth, and fourbished to the slaughter, to consume, because of the glittering:
29 Atako bapesaki yo bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta, mopanga ekokata bakingo ya bato ya mbindo oyo mokolo ya suka mpo na mabe na bango esili kokoka.
Whiles they see vanitie vnto thee, and prophecied a lie vnto thee to bring thee vpon the neckes of the wicked that are slaine, whose day is come when their iniquitie shall haue an ende.
30 Zongisa mopanga na ebombelo na yango. Nakosambisa yo na esika oyo okelamaki, na mokili ya bakoko na yo.
Shall I cause it to returne into his sheath? I will iudge thee in the place where thou wast created, euen in the land of thine habitation.
31 Nakokitisela yo kanda na Ngai ya makasi mpe nakofula yo moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakokaba yo na maboko ya bato ya mobulu oyo babebisaka.
And I wil powre out mine indignation vpon thee, and will blowe against thee in the fire of my wrath, and deliuer thee into the hand of beastly men, and skilfull to destroy.
32 Okozika na moto, makila na yo ekopanzana kaka na mokili na yo mpe bakokanisa yo lisusu te; pamba te Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. › »
Thou shalt bee in the fire to be deuoured: thy blood shall be in the middes of the lande, and thou shalt be no more remembred: for I the Lord haue spoken it.
