Ezekieli 23
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, ezalaki na basi mibale, bana ya mama moko.
Son of man, there were two women, the daughters of one mother;
3 Bakomaki na kindumba mpe bamipesaki na yango wuta bolenge na bango, na Ejipito. Kuna, bato bazalaki kosakana na mabele na bango mpe kosimbasimba tolo na bango ya bolenge.
And they played the harlot in Egypt; in their youth they played the harlot: there were their breasts pressed, and there they suffered their virgin bosoms to be touched.
4 Oyo ya kulutu, kombo na ye ezalaki Ohola; mpe oyo ya leki, kombo na ye ezalaki Oholiba: bazalaki basi na Ngai mpe babotaki bana mibali mpe bana basi. Ohola azali Samari mpe Oholiba azali Yelusalemi.
And their names were Aholah the elder, and Aholibah her sister; but they became mine, and they bore sons and daughters: and their names are, Samaria is Aholah, and Jerusalem, Aholibah.
5 Ohola amipesaki na kindumba tango azalaki nanu ya Ngai mpe akufelaki kolinga bamakangu na ye, bato ya Asiri, bilombe ya bitumba
And Aholah played the harlot while she was mine; and she longed for her lovers, for the Assyrians that were near [her],
6 oyo balataka bilamba ya lokumu ya langi ya ble, bayangeli mpe bakonzi ya basoda; bango nyonso bazalaki bilenge mibali ya kitoko oyo bayebaki malamu kotambola na bampunda.
Clothed [as they were] in blue, governors, and rulers, attractive youths all of them, horsemen riding upon horses.
7 Ye moko alakisaki polele kindumba na ye epai ya bato ya lokumu ya Asiri mpe amikomisaki mbindo na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko nyonso, ya moto nyonso oyo ye azalaki kokufela na bolingo.
Thus she played the harlot with them, all of them the chosen ones of the sons of Asshur: and with all for whom she longed, —with all their idols did she defile herself.
8 Atikaki te kindumba na ye oyo abandaki na Ejipito, oyo na tango ya bolenge na ye, mibali bazalaki kosangisa na ye nzoto, kosimbasimba tolo na ye ya bolenge mpe kosilisa baposa na bango ya nzoto epai na ye.
But also her lewdness from Egypt forsook she not; for they had lain with her in her youth, and they had touched her virgin bosom, and had lavished their lewd caresses on her.
9 Yango wana nakabaki ye na maboko ya bamakangu na ye, bato ya Asiri, oyo azalaki kokufela.
Therefore did I give her up into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the sons of Asshur, after whom she longed.
10 Batikaki ye bolumbu, bakendeki na bana na ye ya mibali mpe ya basi, mpe babomaki ye na mopanga. Akomaki lokola ndakisa mpo na basi mosusu, pamba te azwaki etumbu.
These were they that laid open her nakedness; her sons and her daughters did they take away, and her they slew with the sword: and she became infamous among women, when they inflicted the decreed punishments on her.
11 Ndeko na ye ya mwasi, Oholiba, amonaki makambo oyo nyonso; kasi lokola posa ya kindumba elataki ye makasi, asalaki mobulu koleka kutu ndeko na ye ya mwasi.
And when her sister Aholibah saw this, she became more corrupt in her longing than she, and in her lewd acts more than her sister's lewdness.
12 Ye mpe akufelaki kolinga mibali ya Asiri: bayangeli, bakonzi ya basoda, basoda ya mpiko oyo balataka kitoko mpe batambolaka malamu likolo ya bampunda; bango nyonso bazalaki bilenge mibali kitoko.
For the sons of Asshur did she long, the governors and rulers that were near, clothed as they were most gorgeously, horsemen riding upon horses, attractive youths all of them.
13 Namonaki ete ye mpe amikomisaki mbindo: bango mibale balandaki kaka nzela moko.
Then saw I that she was defiled, that they followed both one way.
14 Nzokande, ye kutu akendeki mosika koleka na kindumba na ye; amonaki bililingi ya mibali na mir, bililingi ya bato ya Chalide, oyo basala na langi ya motane;
But she added still more to her acts of lewdness; for when she saw men engraved upon the wall, the images of the Chaldeans portrayed with color,
15 mibali yango balataki mikaba na baloketo na bango mpe bitendi ya balangi ebele na mito na bango. Bango nyonso bazalaki na lolenge ya bakonzi ya basoda ya Babiloni, oyo babotama na mokili na Chalide.
Bound with girdles on their loins, with hanging down colored turbans on their heads, in appearance like commanders, all of them, in the likeness of the sons of Babylon of the Chaldeans, the land of their birth:
16 Tango kaka amonaki bango, akufelaki bango na bolingo mpe atindaki bantoma epai na bango, na mokili ya Chalide.
Then did she long for them as soon as she saw them with her eyes, and she sent messengers unto them to Chaldea.
17 Bato ya Babiloni bayaki epai na ye kino na mbeto na ye oyo asalelaka bolingo mpe bakomisaki ye mbindo na nzela ya kindumba na bango. Sima na bango kokomisa ye mbindo, ayinaki bango.
And the sons of Babylon came to her unto the couch of love, and they defiled her with their lewd caresses; and [yet] when she had been defiled with them, she tore her soul away from them.
18 Tango alakisaki polele kindumba na ye mpe atalisaki bolumbu na ye, nayinaki ye, ndenge kaka nayinaki ndeko na ye ya mwasi.
And when she had laid open her lewdness, and had uncovered her nakedness: then my soul tore itself away from her, as my soul had torn itself away from her sister.
19 Nzokande, azalaki se kobakisa kindumba na ye tango azalaki kokanisa mikolo ya bolenge na ye, oyo azalaki kosala kindumba, na Ejipito.
Yet she multiplied her deeds of lewdness, in calling to remembrance the days of her youth, when she had played the harlot in the land of Egypt.
20 Kuna, akufelaki kolinga bamakangu na ye, oyo nzoto na bango ya mibali ezalaka lokola nzoto ya mibali ya ane mpe oyo bazalaka na nguya ya kosangisa nzoto lokola mpunda.
And she longed for her paramours, whose flesh is as the flesh of asses, and whose lustfulness is like the lustfulness of horses.
21 Boye, okanisaki lisusu kindumba na yo, oyo ozalaki kosala na bolenge tango mibali ya Ejipito bazalaki kosakana na mabele na yo mpe kosimbasimba tolo na yo ya bolenge.
And thou calledst to mind the incest of thy youth, when thy bosom was touched by the Egyptians for the sake of thy youthful breasts.
22 Yango wana, Oholiba, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakosala ete bamakangu na yo, ba-oyo yo oboyaki, babalukela yo; mpe nakosala lisusu ete babimela yo na bangambo nyonso:
Therefore, O Aholibah, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will wake up thy lovers against thee, from whom thy soul hath torn itself away, and I will bring them against thee from every side;
23 mibali ya Babiloni mpe mibali nyonso ya Chalide, ya Pekodi, ya Shoa mpe ya Koa elongo na mibali nyonso ya Asiri, bilenge mibali kitoko. Bango nyonso bazalaki bayangeli mpe bakonzi ya basoda, basoda ya mpiko oyo batambolaka malamu likolo ya bampunda mpe bakonzi ya basoda ya lokumu; bango nyonso batambolaka likolo ya bampunda.
The sons of Babylon, and all the Chaldeans, Pekod, and Shoa and Koa, and all the sons of Asshur with them, attractive youths, governors and rulers all of them, commanders and chiefs, riding upon horses all of them.
24 Bakoya kobundisa yo na bibundeli, na bampunda mpe na bashar na yango elongo na bato ebele; bakomibongisa mpo na kobundisa yo na bangambo nyonso, na banguba minene mpe ya mike, mpe na bikoti ya basoda. Nakokaba yo na maboko na bango mpo ete bapesa yo etumbu mpe bakosambisa yo kolanda mibeko na bango.
And they shall come over thee with weapons, chariots, and wheels, and with an assembly of people, buckler and shield and helmet shall they set up against thee round about: and I will give up before them the right to judge, and they shall judge thee according to their ordinances.
25 Nakotelemela yo na kanda na Ngai mpe bakosala yo mabe, na mitema ya kanda penza. Bakokata yo zolo mpe matoyi; bongo bato na yo, oyo bakotikala bakokufa na mopanga. Bakokende na bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi, bongo ba-oyo bakotikala bakokufa na moto.
And I will set my zealousness against thee, and they shall deal with thee in fury; thy nose and thy ears shall they cut off; and what is left of thee shall fall by the sword: thy sons and thy daughters shall they take away; and what is left of thee shall be devoured by the fire.
26 Bakobotola yo lisusu bilamba na yo mpe babiju na yo ya talo.
And they shall strip thee of thy clothes, and take away thy ornamental attire.
27 Nakosukisa makambo ya soni mpe kindumba na yo, oyo obandaki na Ejipito. Okotombola lisusu miso na yo te mpo na komona bato wana mpe okotikala lisusu kokanisa Ejipito te.
Thus will I make thy incest to cease from thee, and thy lewdness brought from the land of Egypt: and thou shalt not lift up thy eyes unto them, and Egypt shalt thou not remember any more.
28 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakomi pene ya kokaba yo na maboko ya bato oyo oyinaka, bato oyo osepelaka lisusu na bango te.
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will give thee up into the hand of those whom thou hatest, into the hand of those from whom thy soul hath torn itself away;
29 Bato yango bakoyina yo, bakosala yo mabe penza mpe bakobotola yo mbuma ya mosala na yo; bakolongola yo bilamba mpe okotikala bolumbu, bongo soni ya kindumba na yo ekobima polele. Kindumba mpe ekobo na yo
And they shall deal with thee in hate, and shall take away all [things acquired by] thy labor, and they shall leave thee naked and bare: and thus shall be uncovered the nakedness of thy lewdness, and thy incest and thy lewd deeds.
30 nde ememelaki yo makambo oyo ekomeli yo, pamba te okufelaki kolinga mibali ya bikolo wana mpe omikomisaki mbindo na nzela ya kosalela banzambe na bango ya bikeko.
I will do these things unto thee, because thou hast gone with vile lust after the nations, because thou hast defiled thyself with their idols.
31 Lokola olandaki nzela ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, nakotia kopo oyo ye amelaki na loboko na yo.
On the way of thy sister hast thou walked; therefore will I place her cup into thy hand.
32 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Okomela kopo oyo ndeko na yo ya mwasi amelaki, kopo moko ya monene mpe ya mozindo; ekomemela yo kosambwa mpe soni, pamba te ezali monene penza.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, The cup of thy sister shalt thou drink, the deep and wide one: thou shalt become to be laughed to scorn and to be held in derision, more than thou canst bear.
33 Ekolangwisa yo na pasi: kopo ya kobebisama mpe ya somo, kopo ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, Samari.
With drunkenness and sorrow shalt thou be filled, [out of] the cup of astonishment and confusion, the cup of thy sister Samaria.
34 Okomela yango kino ekokawuka, okobuka-buka yango na biteni, mpe ekozokisa-zokisa mabele na yo, pamba te Ngai Nkolo Yawe nde nalobi.
Thou shalt even drink it and drain it out, and thou shalt break in pieces its fragments, and tear thy own breasts; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.
35 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola obosanaki Ngai mpe otiaki Ngai na sima ya mokongo na yo, okomema mikumba ya ekobo mpe ya kindumba na yo. »
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because thou hast forgotten me, and cast me behind thy back: therefore bear thou also thy incest and thy acts of lewdness.
36 Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, okosambisa penza Ohola mpe Oholiba? Lakisa bango misala na bango ya mbindo;
The Lord said moreover unto me, Son of man, wilt thou call Aholah and Aholibah to account? then tell them of their abominations;
37 pamba te basalaki kindumba, mpe makila etondi na maboko na bango; basalaki kindumba na banzambe na bango ya bikeko, mpe babonzaki lokola mbeka bana na bango ya mibali oyo babotelaki Ngai, mpo ete bakoma bilei ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko.
That they have committed adultery, and there is blood on their hands, and with their idols have they committed adultery, and also their sons whom they had born unto me have they caused to pass for them through [the fire], to devour them.
38 Basalaki yango mpe lisusu epai na Ngai: kaka na tango yango, bakomisaki Esika na Ngai ya bule mbindo mpe babebisaki bosantu ya mikolo na Ngai ya Saba.
Moreover this have they done unto me: they have defiled my sanctuary on the same day, and my sabbaths have they profaned.
39 Kaka na mokolo oyo bazalaki kobonza lokola mbeka bana na bango epai ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, bazalaki mpe kokota na Esika na Ngai ya bule mpe kobebisa bosantu na yango. Yango nde bazalaki kosala kati na Ndako na Ngai.
And when they had slain their children to their idols, then came they into my sanctuary on the same day to profane it: and, lo, thus have they done in the midst of my house.
40 Batindaki mpe bantoma epai ya bato oyo bazalaka mosika. Mpe tango bayaki, omisukolaki nzoto, opakolaki biloko ya monzele na miso mpe olataki babiju.
And farthermore yet, because they sent for men who were to come from afar, unto whom messengers were sent; and, lo, they came, for whom thou didst bathe thyself, paint thy eyes, and deck thyself with ornaments;
41 Ovandaki na mbeto moko ya kitoko; mpe liboso na yango, ezalaki na mesa moko oyo otiaka malasi ya ansa mpe mafuta na Ngai.
And thou didst sit upon a stately bed, with a table spread before it, and my incense and my oil didst thou set upon it.
42 Zingazinga na ye, makelele ya bato ebele ezalaki koyokana, bameli masanga ebele oyo bawutaki na esobe elongo na bato ebele bayaki kolatisa bango mayaka na maboko mpe mitole ya bonzenga na mito na bango.
And the shout of a peaceful joyous multitude was [heard] within her; and with the men of the masses of the common people were brought Sabeans from the wilderness; and these women placed bracelets on their hands, and crowns of glory upon their heads.
43 Boye, namilobelaki na tina na mwana mwasi oyo anzulukaki nzoto mpo na kindumba: ‹ Boni, ezali kaka ye oyo anzuluki nzoto nde azali kozongela lisusu penza kindumba! ›
Then thought I of her that was worn out in adulteries, Will they now [still] commit lewdness with her, when she [is thus]?
44 Mpe basangisaki na ye nzoto: ndenge mibali basangisaka nzoto na mwasi ya ndumba, ndenge wana mpe basalaki bango, Ohola mpe Oholiba.
But men went in unto her, as they go in unto a faithless wife: thus went they in unto Aholah and unto Aholibah, the incestuous women.
45 Kasi bato ya sembo bakosambisa bango mpe bakokatela bango etumbu oyo bapesaka na basi oyo basalaka ekobo mpe basopaka makila, pamba te bazali bandumba mpe maboko na bango ezali na makila.
Righteous men, however—these shall judge them as adulteresses are judged, and as women that shed blood are judged; because adulteresses are they, and blood is on their hands.
46 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Tika ete ebele ya bato batombokela bango, banyokola bango mpe babotola biloko na bango na makasi!
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, I will bring up against them an assemblage of men, and I will give them up to ill-usage and plunder.
47 Tika ete babamba bango mabanga mpe baboma bango na mopanga; baboma bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi mpe babebisa bandako na bango na moto.
And the assemblage shall stone them with stones, and cut them down with their swords: their sons and their daughters shall they slay, and their houses shall they burn with fire.
48 Na nzela wana nde nakosukisa kindumba kati na mokili, mpo ete basi nyonso bazwa mayele mpe balanda ndakisa na bango te.
Thus will I cause incest to cease out of the land, that all women may be warned by example, and not do after your incestuous course.
49 Bokozwa etumbu mpo na kindumba na bino mpe bokomema mikumba ya masumu na bino ya kosambela banzambe ya bikeko; boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. »
And they shall lay your incest upon you, and the sins of your idols shall ye bear: and ye shall know that I am the Lord Eternal.
