Ezekieli 23
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
The LORD’s word came again to 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.
They played the prostitute in Egypt. They played the prostitute in their youth. Their breasts were fondled there, and their youthful nipples were caressed there.
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.
Their names were Oholah the elder, and Oholibah her sister. They became mine, and they bore sons and daughters. As for their names, Samaria is Oholah, and Jerusalem Oholibah.
5 Ohola amipesaki na kindumba tango azalaki nanu ya Ngai mpe akufelaki kolinga bamakangu na ye, bato ya Asiri, bilombe ya bitumba
“Oholah played the prostitute when she was mine. She doted on her lovers, on the Assyrians her neighbors,
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.
who were clothed with blue—governors and rulers, all of them desirable young men, horsemen riding on 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.
She gave herself as a prostitute to them, all of them the choicest men of Assyria. She defiled herself with the idols of whomever she lusted after.
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.
She hasn’t left her prostitution since leaving Egypt; for in her youth they lay with her. They caressed her youthful nipples and they poured out their prostitution on her.
9 Yango wana nakabaki ye na maboko ya bamakangu na ye, bato ya Asiri, oyo azalaki kokufela.
“Therefore I delivered her into the hand of her lovers, into the hand of the Assyrians on whom she doted.
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 uncovered her nakedness. They took her sons and her daughters, and they killed her with the sword. She became a byword among women; for they executed judgments 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.
“Her sister Oholibah saw this, yet she was more corrupt in her lusting than she, and in her prostitution which was more depraved than the prostitution of her sister.
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.
She lusted after the Assyrians, governors and rulers—her neighbors, clothed most gorgeously, horsemen riding on horses, all of them desirable young men.
13 Namonaki ete ye mpe amikomisaki mbindo: bango mibale balandaki kaka nzela moko.
I saw that she was defiled. They both went the same 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;
“She increased her prostitution; for she saw men portrayed on the wall, the images of the Kasdim portrayed with red,
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.
dressed with belts on their waists, with flowing turbans on their heads, all of them looking like princes, after the likeness of the Babylonians in Kasdim, the land of their birth.
16 Tango kaka amonaki bango, akufelaki bango na bolingo mpe atindaki bantoma epai na bango, na mokili ya Chalide.
As soon as she saw them, she lusted after them and sent messengers to them into Kasdimah.
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.
The Babylonians came to her into the bed of love, and they defiled her with their prostitution. She was polluted with them, and her soul was alienated from them.
18 Tango alakisaki polele kindumba na ye mpe atalisaki bolumbu na ye, nayinaki ye, ndenge kaka nayinaki ndeko na ye ya mwasi.
So she uncovered her prostitution and uncovered her nakedness. Then my soul was alienated from her, just like my soul was alienated 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 prostitution, remembering the days of her youth, in which she had played the prostitute 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.
She lusted after their lovers, whose flesh is as the flesh of donkeys, and whose issue is like the issue 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.
Thus you called to memory the lewdness of your youth, in the caressing of your nipples by the Egyptians because of your 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, Oholibah, the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will raise up your lovers against you, from whom your soul is alienated, and I will bring them against you on 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 Babylonians and all the Kasdim, Pekod, Shoa, Koa, and all the Assyrians with them; all of them desirable young men, governors and rulers, princes and men of renown, all of them riding on horses.
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.
They will come against you with weapons, chariots, and wagons, and with a company of peoples. They will set themselves against you with buckler, shield, and helmet all around. I will commit the judgment to them, and they will judge you according to their judgments.
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.
I will set my jealousy against you, and they will deal with you in fury. They will take away your nose and your ears. Your remnant will fall by the sword. They will take your sons and your daughters; and the rest of you will be devoured by the fire.
26 Bakobotola yo lisusu bilamba na yo mpe babiju na yo ya talo.
They will also strip you of your clothes and take away your beautiful jewels.
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 I will make your lewdness to cease from you, and remove your prostitution from the land of Egypt, so that you will not lift up your eyes to them, nor remember Egypt 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I will deliver you into the hand of them whom you hate, into the hand of them from whom your soul is alienated.
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
They will deal with you in hatred, and will take away all your labor, and will leave you naked and bare. The nakedness of your prostitution will be uncovered, both your lewdness and your prostitution.
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.
These things will be done to you because you have played the prostitute after the nations, and because you are polluted with their idols.
31 Lokola olandaki nzela ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, nakotia kopo oyo ye amelaki na loboko na yo.
You have walked in the way of your sister; therefore I will give her cup into your 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.
“The Lord GOD says: ‘You will drink of your sister’s cup, which is deep and large. You will be ridiculed and held in derision. It contains much.
33 Ekolangwisa yo na pasi: kopo ya kobebisama mpe ya somo, kopo ya ndeko na yo ya mwasi, Samari.
You will be filled with drunkenness and sorrow, with the cup of astonishment and desolation, with the cup of your 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.
You will even drink it and drain it out. You will gnaw the broken pieces of it, and will tear your breasts; for I have spoken it,’ says the Lord GOD.
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 the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you have forgotten me and cast me behind your back, therefore you also bear your lewdness and your prostitution.’”
36 Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, okosambisa penza Ohola mpe Oholiba? Lakisa bango misala na bango ya mbindo;
The LORD said moreover to me: “Son of man, will you judge Oholah and Oholibah? Then declare to them 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.
For they have committed adultery, and blood is in their hands. They have committed adultery with their idols. They have also caused their sons, whom they bore to me, to pass through the fire to them to be devoured.
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 they have done to me: they have defiled my sanctuary in the same day, and have profaned my Sabbaths.
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.
For when they had slain their children to their idols, then they came the same day into my sanctuary to profane it; and behold, they have done this in the middle 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.
“Furthermore you sisters have sent for men who come from far away, to whom a messenger was sent, and behold, they came; for whom you washed yourself, painted your eyes, decorated yourself 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 sat on a stately bed, with a table prepared before it, whereupon you set my incense and my oil.
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.
“The voice of a multitude being at ease was with her. With men of the common sort were brought drunkards from the wilderness; and they put bracelets on their hands, and beautiful crowns on 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 I said of her who was old in adulteries, ‘Now they will play the prostitute with her, and she with them.’
44 Mpe basangisaki na ye nzoto: ndenge mibali basangisaka nzoto na mwasi ya ndumba, ndenge wana mpe basalaki bango, Ohola mpe Oholiba.
They went in to her, as they go in to a prostitute. So they went in to Oholah and to Oholibah, the lewd 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 will judge them with the judgment of adulteresses and with the judgment of women who shed blood, because they are adulteresses, and blood is in 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 the Lord GOD says: ‘I will bring up a mob against them, and will give them to be tossed back and forth and robbed.
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.
The company will stone them with stones and dispatch them with their swords. They will kill their sons and their daughters, and burn up their houses 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 I will cause lewdness to cease out of the land, that all women may be taught not to be lewd like you.
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. »
They will recompense your lewdness on you, and you will bear the sins of your idols. Then you will know that I am the Lord GOD.’”
