Ezekieli 22
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord 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 you, son of man, will you judge the bloody city? yes, declare you to her all her iniquities.
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 you shall say, Thus says the Lord God: O city that sheds blood in the midst of her, so that her time should come, and that forms devices against herself, to defile herself;
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.
in their blood which you have shed, you have transgressed; and in your devices which you have formed, you have polluted yourself; and you have brought near your days, and have brought on the time of your years: therefore have I made you a reproach to the Gentiles, and a mockery to all the countries,
5 Yo, engumba ya mbindo, etonda na mobulu, bato oyo bazali pene mpe ba-oyo bazali mosika bakoseka yo!
to those near you, and to those far distant from you; and they shall mock you, [you that are] notoriously unclean, and abundant in iniquities.
6 Tala ndenge bakambi ya Isalaele basalelaka bokonzi na bango mpo na kosopa makila.
Behold, the princes of the house of Israel have conspired in you each one with his kindred, that they might shed blood.
7 Kati na mboka na yo, batiolaka batata mpe bamama, banyokolaka mopaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali.
In you they have reviled father and mother; and in you they have behaved unjustly toward the stranger: they have oppressed the orphan and widow.
8 Otiolaka biloko na Ngai ya bule mpe obebisaka bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
And they have set at nothing my holy things, and in you they 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.
[There are] robbers in you, to shed blood in you; and in you they have eaten upon the mountains: they have wrought ungodliness in the midst of you.
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 you they have uncovered the father's shame; and in you they have humbled her that was set apart for uncleanness.
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.
They have dealt unlawfully each one with his neighbor's wife; and each one in ungodliness has defiled his daughter-in-law: and in you they have humbled each one his sister, the daughter of his father.
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 you they have received gifts to shed blood; they have received in you interest and usurious increase; and by oppression you have brought your wickedness to the full, and have forgotten me, says the Lord.
13 Solo, nakobeta maboko na Ngai mpo na litomba oyo bozwaki na nzela ya mabe mpe mpo na makila oyo botangisaki kati na bino.
And if I shall strike my hand at [your iniquities] which you have accomplished, which you have wrought, and at your blood that has been shed in the midst of you,
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.
shall your heart endure? shall your hands be strong in the days which I bring upon you? I the Lord have spoken, 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 you among the nations, and disperse you in the countries, and your uncleanness shall be removed out of you.
16 Omikomisaki mbindo na miso ya bikolo, kasi okoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
And I will give heritages in you in the sight of the nations, and you shall know that I am the Lord.
17 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord 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, behold, the house of Israel are all become to me [as it were] mixed with brass, and iron, and tin, and lead; they are mixed up in the midst of the silver.
19 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Lokola bino nyonso bokomi kaka lokola bosoto, nakosangisa bino na Yelusalemi.
Therefore say, Thus says the Lord God; Because you have become one mixture, therefore 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 silver, and brass, and iron, and tin, and lead, are gathered into the midst of the furnace, to blow fire into it, that they may be melted: so will I take [you] in my wrath, and I will gather and melt you.
21 Nakosangisa bino mpe nakofula bino mopepe ya moto ya kanda na Ngai; bongo nakozikisa bino kati na Yelusalemi.
And I will blow upon you in the fire of my wrath, and you shall be melted in the midst thereof.
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 a furnace, so shall you be melted in the midst thereof; and you shall know that I the Lord have poured out my wrath upon you.
23 Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu:
And the word of the Lord 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, You are the land that is not rained upon, neither has rain come upon you in the day of wrath;
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.
whose princes in the midst of her are as roaring lions seizing prey, devouring souls by oppression, and taking bribes; and your widows are multiplied in the midst of you.
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 also have set at nothing my law, and profaned my holy things: they have not distinguished between the holy and profane, nor have they distinguished between the unclean and the clean, and have hid their eyes from my sabbaths, and I was profaned in the midst of 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 princes in the midst of her are as wolves ravening to shed blood, 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 that daub them shall fall, that see vanities, that prophesy falsehoods, saying, Thus says the Lord, when the Lord 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.
That sorely oppress the people of the land with injustice, and commit robbery; oppressing the poor and needy, and not dealing justly with the stranger.
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 from among them a man behaving uprightly, and standing before me perfectly in the time of wrath, so that I should not utterly destroy her: but I found [him] not.
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. »
So I have poured out my wrath upon her in the fury of mine anger, to accomplish [it]. I have recompensed their ways on their own heads, says the Lord God.
