Ezekieli 24
1 Na mokolo ya zomi ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya libwa, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Again, in the ninth year, in the tenth month, in the tenth day of the month, the word of the LORD came to me, 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 the name of the day, even of this same day: the king of Babylon drew close to Jerusalem this same 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.
Utter a parable to the rebellious house, and tell them, 'Thus says the LORD, "Set on the caldron, set it on, and also 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.
gather its pieces into it, even every good piece, the thigh, and the shoulder; fill it with the choice 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!
Take the choice of the flock, and also a pile of wood for the bones under the caldron; make it boil well; yes, let its bones be boiled 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 says the LORD: 'Woe to the bloody city, to the caldron whose rust is in it, and whose rust is not gone out of it. Take out of it piece after piece; No lot is 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 is in the midst of her; she set it on the bare rock; she didn't pour it on the ground, to cover it 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.
That it may cause wrath to come up to take vengeance, I have set her blood on the bare rock, that it should not 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 says the LORD: 'Woe to the bloody city. I also will 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.
Pile on the wood, make the fire hot, boil the meat well, and mix in the spices, and let the bones be burned up.
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.
Then set it empty on its coals, that it may be hot, and its bronze may burn, and that its filthiness may be molten in it, that its rust may be 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 toil; yet her great rust doesn't go forth out of her; her rust doesn't go forth by 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.
In your filthiness is lewdness: because I have cleansed you and you weren't cleansed, you shall not be cleansed from your filthiness any more, until I have caused my wrath toward you to rest.
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, the LORD, have spoken it: it shall happen, and I will do it: I will not go back, neither will I spare, neither will I repent; according to your ways and according to your deeds I will judge you,' says the LORD."
15 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Also the word of the LORD came 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, look, I will take away from you the desire of your eyes with a stroke: yet you shall neither mourn nor weep, neither shall your tears run down.
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. »
Sigh, but not aloud, make no mourning for the dead; bind your headdress on you, and put your shoes on your feet, and do not cover your lips, and do not eat men's bread."
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.
So I spoke to the people in the morning; and at even my wife died; and I did in the morning as I was commanded.
19 Boye, bato batunaki ngai: — Okoki koyebisa biso te soki makambo oyo ozali kosala elakisi nini?
The people said to me, "Won't you tell us what these things are to us, that you do so?"
20 Nazongiselaki bango: — Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Then I said to them, "The word of the LORD came 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.
'Speak to the house of Israel, "Thus says the LORD: Look, I will profane my sanctuary, the pride of your power, the desire of your eyes, and that which your soul pities; and your sons and your daughters whom you have left behind shall fall by the sword.
22 Boye, bokosala ndenge Ngai nasali: bokozipa mandefu na bino te mpe bokolia bilei ya matanga te;
You shall do as I have done: you shall not cover your lips, nor 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.
Your turbans shall be on your heads, and your shoes on your feet: you shall not mourn nor weep; but you shall pine away in your iniquities, and moan one toward another.
24 Ezekieli akozala lokola elembo mpo na bino: bokosala ndenge kaka ye asalaki. Tango makambo oyo ekosalema, bokososola ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. ›
Thus Ezekiel shall be a sign to you; according to all that he has done, you will do. When this comes, then you will know that I am the LORD."'"
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.
"You, son of man, shall it not be in the day when I take from them their strength, the joy of their glory, the desire of their eyes, and that whereupon they set their heart, their sons and their daughters,
26 Na mokolo wana, moto moko akokima mpe akoya kopesa yo basango.
that in that day he who escapes shall come to you, to cause you to hear it with your ears?
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 will be opened to him who has escaped, and you shall speak, and be no more mute: so you will be a sign to them; and they shall know that I am the LORD."
