Ezekieli 22
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Moreover the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, okosambisa yango solo? Okosambisa solo engumba oyo esopaka makila? Lakisa yango misala na yango nyonso ya mbindo
And thou, son of man, will thou judge, will thou judge the bloody city? Then cause her to know all her abominations.
3 mpe loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh engumba oyo emibendelaka bololo na nzela ya kosopa makila na kati-kati na yango mpe emikomisaka mbindo na nzela ya komisalela bikeko,
And thou shall say, Thus says the lord Jehovah: A city that sheds blood in the midst of her, that her time may come, and who makes idols against herself to defile her!
4 ozali na ngambo mpo na makila oyo osopaki mpe okomi mbindo mpo na bikeko oyo osalaki! Okomisi bomoi na yo mokuse mpe okomi na suka ya mibu ya bomoi na yo! Yango wana, nakokomisa yo eloko ya kotiola liboso ya bikolo mpe eloko ya maseki liboso ya mikili nyonso.
Thou have become guilty in thy blood that thou have shed, and are defiled in thine idols which thou have made. And thou have caused thy days to draw near, and have come even to thy years. Therefore I have made thee a reproach to the nations, and a mocking to all the countries.
5 Yo, engumba ya mbindo, etonda na mobulu, bato oyo bazali pene mpe ba-oyo bazali mosika bakoseka yo!
Those that are near, and those that are far from thee, shall mock thee, thou infamous one, full of tumult.
6 Tala ndenge bakambi ya Isalaele basalelaka bokonzi na bango mpo na kosopa makila.
Behold, the rulers of Israel, each one according to his power, have been in thee to shed blood.
7 Kati na mboka na yo, batiolaka batata mpe bamama, banyokolaka mopaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali.
In thee they have made light of father and mother. In the midst of thee they have dealt with the sojourner by oppression. In thee they have wronged the fatherless and the widow.
8 Otiolaka biloko na Ngai ya bule mpe obebisaka bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
Thou have despised my holy things, and have profaned my sabbaths.
9 Na mboka na yo, bakoselaka bato makambo mpo na kobomisa bango. Na mboka na yo, baliaka biloko na bisika ya bule oyo ezalaka na likolo ya bangomba mpe basalaka makambo ya nkele.
Slanderous men have been in thee to shed blood, and in thee they have eaten upon the mountains. In the midst of thee they have committed lewdness.
10 Na mboka na yo, mibali basangisaka nzoto na basi ya batata na bango mpe bazwaka na makasi basi oyo bazali komona sanza na bango, na tango oyo bazali mbindo.
In thee they have uncovered their fathers' nakedness. In thee they have humbled her who was unclean in her impurity.
11 Na mboka na yo, moko na moko azali kosala makambo ya mbindo elongo na mwasi ya moninga na ye, mosusu azali kokomisa mwasi ya mwana na ye mbindo, mpe mosusu lisusu azali kosangisa nzoto na makasi na ndeko na ye ya mwasi, mwana mwasi ya tata na ye.
And one has committed abomination with his neighbor's wife, and another has lewdly defiled his daughter-in-law, and another in thee has humbled his sister, his father's daughter.
12 Na mboka na yo, bato bazwaka kanyaka mpo na kosopa makila, badefisaka mpo na kozwa mileki mpe litomba oyo eleka ndelo, banyokolaka baninga mpo na kokoma na bomengo mpe bobosani Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
In thee they have taken bribes to shed blood. Thou have taken interest and increase. And thou have greedily gained from thy neighbors by oppression, and have forgotten me, says the lord Jehovah.
13 Solo, nakobeta maboko na Ngai mpo na litomba oyo bozwaki na nzela ya mabe mpe mpo na makila oyo botangisaki kati na bino.
Behold, therefore, I have smitten my hand at thy dishonest gain which thou have made, and at thy blood which has been in the midst of thee.
14 Boni, bokoyika kaka mpiko to maboko na bino ekozala kaka makasi na mokolo oyo nakokitisela bino kanda na Ngai? Ngai Yawe, nalobaki mpe nakokokisa yango.
Can thy heart endure, or can thy hands be strong, in the days that I shall deal with thee? I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and will do it.
15 Nakopanza bino kati na bikolo, nakopalanganisa bino bipai na bipai kati na mokili mpe nakosukisa mbindo na bino.
And I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee through the countries, and I will consume thy filthiness out of thee.
16 Omikomisaki mbindo na miso ya bikolo, kasi okoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
And thou shall be profaned in thyself, in the sight of the nations. And thou shall know that I am Jehovah.
17 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
18 « Mwana na moto, libota ya Isalaele ekomi lokola fulu na miso na Ngai; bango nyonso bakomi lokola ebende ya motane, ebende ya langi ya etabe oyo etela, ebende mpe mbodi oyo babwaka na etumbelo ya bibende. Solo, bakomi kaka lokola bosoto ya palata.
Son of man, the house of Israel has become dross to me. All of them are brass, and tin, and iron, and lead, in the midst of the furnace. They are the dross of silver.
19 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola bino nyonso bokomi kaka lokola bosoto, nakosangisa bino na Yelusalemi.
Therefore thus says the lord Jehovah: Because ye have all become dross, therefore, behold, I will gather you into the midst of Jerusalem
20 Ndenge bato basangisaka palata, ebende ya motane, ebende ya langi ya etabe oyo etela, mbodi mpe ebende kati na etumbelo ya bibende mpo na kolamba yango, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nakosangisa bino na kanda mpe na kotomboka na Ngai, mpe nakobwaka bino kati na engumba mpo na kozikisa bino.
as they gather silver and brass and iron and lead and tin into the midst of the furnace, to blow the fire upon it, to melt it. So I will gather you in my anger and in my wrath, and I will lay you there, and melt you.
21 Nakosangisa bino mpe nakofula bino mopepe ya moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakozikisa bino kati na Yelusalemi.
Yea, I will gather you, and blow upon you with the fire of my wrath, and ye shall be melted in the midst of it.
22 Ndenge bazikisaka palata kati na etumbelo ya bibende, ndenge wana mpe nakozikisa bino kati na engumba. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe, nasopeli bino kanda na Ngai ya makasi. › »
As silver is melted in the midst of the furnace, so ye shall be melted in the midst of it. And ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying,
24 « Mwana na moto, loba na Yelusalemi: ‹ Ozali mabele oyo epetolamaki te mpe enokelaki mvula te na mokolo ya kanda na Ngai ya makasi. ›
Son of man, say to her, Thou are a land that is not cleansed, nor rained upon in the day of indignation.
25 Basakoli na yo bazali kosala likita; lokola nkosi oyo ezali koganga tango ezali kopasola nyama na yango, bazali koboma bato, kobotola bomengo mpe biloko ya motuya ya bato mpe kokomisa ebele kati na yango, basi bakufisa mibali.
There is a conspiracy by her prophets in the midst of it, like a roaring lion ravening the prey. They have devoured souls. They take treasure and precious things. They have made her widows many in the midst thereof.
26 Banganga-Nzambe na yango bazali kobuka mobeko na Ngai mpe bazali kobebisa bosantu ya biloko na Ngai ya bule, bazali kosala bokeseni te kati na biloko ya bule mpe biloko mosusu, bazali kosunga bato te ete bayeba kosala bokeseni kati na makambo oyo ezali mbindo mpe oyo ya peto; bakangeli Basaba na Ngai miso, boye babulisi Ngai te kati na bango.
Her priests have done violence to my law, and have profaned my holy things. They have made no distinction between the holy and the common, nor have they caused men to discern between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I am profaned among them.
27 Bakalaka kati na yango bazali lokola mbwa ya zamba oyo ezali kopasola nyama na yango, bazali kosopa makila mpe koboma bato mpo na kozwa bomengo na nzela ya mabe.
Her rulers in the midst of it are like wolves ravening the prey, to shed blood, to destroy souls, that they may get dishonest gain.
28 Basakoli na yango bazali kopakola misala na bango ya mabe potopoto ya pembe na nzela ya bimoniseli mpe masakoli ya lokuta; bazali koloba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi, › na tango Yawe alobi na Ye eloko moko te.
And her prophets have daubed for them with untempered mortar, seeing false visions, and divining lies to them, saying, Thus says the lord Jehovah, when Jehovah has not spoken.
29 Bato ya mokili bazali koyiba mpe kobotola bato biloko na makasi, bazali konyokola mobola mpe moto oyo akelela, bazali komonisa mopaya pasi na nzela ya kopimela ye bosembo.
The people of the land have used oppression, and exercised robbery. Yea, they have vexed the poor and needy man, and have oppressed the sojourner wrongfully.
30 Nalukaki ata moto moko kati na bango, oyo akokaki kotonga mir mpe kotelema liboso na Ngai, na lidusu ya mir mpo na bolamu ya mokili mpo ete nakoka kobebisa yango te, kasi namonaki ata moto moko te.
And I sought for a man among them who should build up the wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I should not destroy it, but I found none.
31 Yango wana, nakosopela bango kanda na Ngai ya makasi mpe natumba bango na moto ya kanda na Ngai, nakopesa bango etumbu kolanda etamboli na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
Therefore I have poured out my indignation upon them. I have consumed them with the fire of my wrath. I have brought their own way upon their heads, says the lord Jehovah.
