Ezekieli 24
1 Na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya libwa, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, on the tenth of the month, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, koma mokolo oyo kati na buku, mokolo ya lelo, pamba te ezali na mokolo oyo nde mokonzi ya Babiloni azingelaki engumba Yelusalemi.
“Son of man, write! Write the name of the day for yourself, this very day; the king of Babylon has leaned toward Jerusalem in this very day.
3 Loba na libota oyo ya batomboki lisese oyo; yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Kamata nzungu moko ya kolambela, bongisa yango mpe tia mayi kati na yango.
And use an allegory toward the house of rebellion, and you have said to them, Thus said Lord YHWH: To set on the pot, to set [it] on, and also to pour water into it,
4 Tia biteni ya misuni kati na yango, biteni nyonso ya malamu: lokolo mpe lipeka; tondisa yango na mikuwa ya malamu.
To gather its pieces to it, every good piece, Thigh and shoulder, to fill in the choice of the bones.
5 Kamata bameme oyo ezanga mbeba kati na etonga mpe sangisa bakoni na se ya nzungu yango; pelisa moto mpe tokisa nzungu yango kino mikuwa ekobela penza!
To take the choice of the flock, And also to pile the bones under it, Boil it thoroughly, indeed, cook its bones in its midst.
6 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na engumba oyo esopaka makila, nzungu ya salite, nzungu oyo elongwaka salite te! Tika yango pamba, longola eteni moko na moko kino nyonso ekosila na kobeta zeke te.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, A pot whose scum [is] in it, And its scum has not come out of it, By piece of it, by piece of it bring it out, a lot has not fallen on it.
7 Pamba te makila oyo esopaki ezali kati na yango; esopaki yango na likolo ya libanga, esopaki yango na mabele te epai wapi putulu ekokaki kozipa yango.
For her blood has been in her midst, She has set it on a clear place of a rock, She has not poured it on the earth, To cover it over with dust.
8 Mpo na kopelisa kanda na Ngai mpe kozongisela yango mabe na mabe, natie makila na yango na likolo ya mabanga mpo ete ebombama te.
To cause fury to come up to take vengeance, I have put her blood on a clear place of a rock—not to be covered.
9 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na engumba oyo esopaka makila! Ngai mpe nakosangisela yo bakoni ebele.
Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: Woe [to] the city of blood, indeed, I make the pile great.
10 Sangisa bakoni mpe pelisa moto. Lamba misuni malamu, sangisa yango na biloko mike-mike ya solo kitoko oyo balambelaka mpe sala ete mikuwa ezika.
Make the wood abundant, Kindle the fire, consume the flesh, And make the compound, And let the bones be burned.
11 Bongo tia nzungu ya pamba na likolo ya makala ya moto kino ekoma moto mpe linzanza na yango ekoma motane, mpo ete mbindo na yango elongwa mpe konzuluka na yango ekende na moto.
And cause it to stand empty on its coals, So that its bronze is hot and burning, Its uncleanness has been melted in its midst, Its scum is consumed.
12 Kasi konzuluka na yango esilisi makasi ya bato, bosoto na yango etikali kolongwa te! Ezala moto, elongi te kolongola bosoto yango!
She has wearied herself [with] sorrows, And the abundance of her scum does not go out of her, Her scum [is] in the fire.
13 Yelusalemi, mbindo na yo ezali kindumba. Nalukaki kokomisa yo peto, kasi olingaki kopetolama te na bosoto na yo. Okotikala lisusu kozala peto te kino tango nakosilisa kosopela yo kanda na Ngai.
Wickedness [is] in your uncleanness, Because I have cleansed you, And you have not been cleansed, You are not cleansed from your uncleanness again, Until I have caused My fury to rest on you.
14 Ngai Yawe nde nalobaki. Tango ekoki mpo na Ngai kosala; nakoyoka mawa te, nakozonga sima te! Okosambisama solo kolanda etamboli mpe misala na yo, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
I, YHWH, have spoken, It has come, and I have done [it], I do not free, nor do I spare, nor do I regret, According to your ways, and according to your acts, They have judged you, A declaration of Lord YHWH.”
15 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And there is a word of YHWH to me, saying,
16 « Mwana na moto, nakolongola, na nzela ya kufa ya pwasa, mwasi oyo asepelisaka motema na yo. Kasi komitungisa te, kolela te mpe kotangisa mpinzoli te.
“Son of man, behold, I am taking the desire of your eyes from you by a stroke, and you do not mourn, nor weep, nor let your tear come.
17 Lela na se ya motema, kosala matanga na tina na ye te. Kanga kitendi na moto na yo mpe tia sandale na makolo na yo; kozipa mandefu ya elongi na yo te mpe kolia bilei ya matanga te, ndenge ezali ezaleli ya bokoko na bino. »
Cease to groan [and] make no mourning [for] the dead, bind your headdress on yourself, and put your shoes on your feet, and you do not cover over the upper lip, and you do not eat [the] bread of men.”
18 Boye, na tongo, nasololaki na bato; bongo na pokwa, mwasi na Ngai akufaki. Na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, nasalaki kolanda mitindo oyo epesamelaki ngai.
And I speak to the people in the morning, and my wife dies in the evening, and I do in the morning as I have been commanded.
19 Boye, bato batunaki ngai: — Okoki koyebisa biso te soki makambo oyo ozali kosala elakisi nini?
And the people say to me, “Do you not declare to us what these [are] to us, that you are doing?”
20 Nazongiselaki bango: — Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And I say to them, “A word of YHWH has been to me, saying,
21 « Yebisa libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakomi pene ya kosambwisa bosantu ya Esika na Ngai ya bule oyo esalaka lolendo na bino, oyo esepelisaka miso na bino mpe esalaka esengo ya mitema na bino. Bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi oyo botikaki na Yelusalemi bakokufa na mopanga.
Say to the house of Israel, Thus said Lord YHWH: Behold, I am defiling My sanctuary, The excellence of your strength, The desire of your eyes, and the pitied of your soul, And your sons and your daughters whom you have left, fall by sword.
22 Boye, bokosala ndenge Ngai nasali: bokozipa mandefu na bino te mpe bokolia bilei ya matanga te;
And you have done as I have done, You have not covered over the upper lip, And you do not eat [the] bread of men.
23 bokokanga bitendi na mito na bino mpe bokolata basandale na makolo na bino, bokosala matanga te mpe bokolela te, kasi bokomona pasi mpo na masumu na bino mpe bokokoma kolelalela kati na bino.
And your headdresses [are] on your heads, And your shoes [are] on your feet, You do not mourn nor do you weep, And you have wasted away for your iniquities, And you have howled to one another.
24 Ezekieli akozala lokola elembo mpo na bino: bokosala ndenge kaka ye asalaki. Tango makambo oyo ekosalema, bokososola ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. ›
And Ezekiel has been for a type to you; according to all that he has done you do. In its coming in—you have known that I [am] Lord YHWH.”
25 Bongo yo, mwana na moto; na mikolo ekoya, nakobotola bandako na bango oyo batonga makasi mpe batielaka motema, oyo esalaka esengo mpe lokumu na bango, oyo esepelisaka miso na bango mpe esalaka esengo ya mitema na bango; nakobotola lisusu bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi.
“And you, son of man, is it not in the day of My taking from them their strength, the joy of their beauty, the desire of their eyes, and the song of their soul—their sons and their daughters?
26 Na mokolo wana, moto moko akokima mpe akoya kopesa yo basango.
In that day the escaped one comes to you to cause the ears to hear.
27 Na mokolo wana, monoko na yo ekofungwama, okosolola na monoko yango mpe okokanga lisusu yango te. Boye, okozala elembo mpo na bango mpe bakoyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe. »
In that day your mouth is opened with the escaped and you speak, and are not silent anymore, and you have been for a type to them, and they have known that I [am] YHWH.”
