Ezekieli 22
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And 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
Punish, punish, son of man, the city of blood, and show her all her abominations, and say,
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,
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: O city that sheddest blood in the midst of thee, that thy time may come, and makest idols to defile thyself!
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.
Through the blood which thou sheddest thou bringest guilt upon thyself, and through the idols which thou makest thou pollutest thyself, and thou causest thy days to draw near, and comest to thy years. Therefore do I make thee a reproach to the nations, and a derision to all 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 as infamous, full of confusion.
6 Tala ndenge bakambi ya Isalaele basalelaka bokonzi na bango mpo na kosopa makila.
Behold the princes of Israel are engaged every one according to his strength within 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 set light by father and mother; in thee are they guilty of oppression to the stranger; in thee do they oppress the fatherless and the widow.
8 Otiolaka biloko na Ngai ya bule mpe obebisaka bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
Thou hast despised my holy things, and 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.
In thee are men who carry tales, that they may shed blood; in thee do they eat upon the mountains; in the midst of thee do they commit 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 doth the son uncover the father's nakedness; in thee do they lie with a woman in her 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.
And one committeth abomination with his neighbor's wife; and another, with incestuous lewdness, defileth his daughter-in-law; and in thee another lieth with 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 do they take a reward to shed blood. Thou takest usury and increase, and thou hast enriched thyself from thy neighbor by extortion, and hast forgotten me, saith 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.
Therefore, behold, I have smitten my hands together at thy dishonest gain which thou hast made, and at the blood which hath been shed 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 day when 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.
I will scatter thee among the nations, and disperse thee in the countries, and will consume thine impurity out of thee;
16 Omikomisaki mbindo na miso ya bikolo, kasi okoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »
and thou shalt through thyself be profaned before the eyes of the nations, and thou shalt 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 is 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 saith the Lord Jehovah: Because ye are all of you 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 men 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 will I gather you in my anger and in my fury, and I will place 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 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 the furnace, so shall ye be melted in the midst thereof; and ye shall know that I, Jehovah, have poured out my fury 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 art 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 of her prophets in the midst of her; like a roaring lion tearing the prey, they devour the lives of men; they take possession of treasures, and precious things, and make many widows in the midst of her.
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 violate my law, and profane my holy things. They make no distinction between the holy and profane, and show not the difference between the clean and the unclean; and they hide 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 princes in the midst of her are like wolves tearing the prey. They shed blood, they destroy life, that they may get 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.
Her prophets daub for them with untempered mortar, seeing falsehood, and divining to them, saying, “Thus saith the Lord Jehovah,” when Jehovah hath 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 are guilty of oppression, and practise robbery, and distress the poor and needy; yea, they oppress the stranger, and have no justice.
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.
I have sought for a man among them that should make a wall, and stand in the gap before me for the land, that I might 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 will I pour out my indignation upon them; I will consume them with the fire of my wrath; I will bring their way upon their heads, saith the Lord Jehovah.
