Ezekieli 34
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
A message from the Lord came to me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, sakola mpo na kotelemela babateli bibwele ya mokili ya Isalaele! Sakola mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Mawa na babateli bibwele ya Isalaele, oyo balukaka kaka bolamu na bango moko! Boni, babateli bibwele basengeli te penza koluka bolamu ya bibwele?
“Son of man, prophesy against the shepherds who lead Israel. Prophesy and tell them that this is what the Lord God says: Disaster is coming to the shepherds of Israel, who only look after themselves, and not the sheep! Shouldn't shepherds make sure their flock is fed?
3 Bolingi kaka kolia mafuta na yango, kolata bilamba oyo esalemi na bapwale na yango mpe koboma bibwele oyo eleki mafuta, kasi bolukaka bolamu ya bibwele yango te!
You eat the cream, you use the wool for clothes, and you slaughter the fattened sheep, but you don't feed the flock.
4 Bosungaki te ebwele oyo elemba mpo ete ekoka kozwa lisusu makasi, bobikisaki te oyo ezalaki na bokono, bosalisaki te oyo ebukana lokolo; bozongisaki te na nzela, oyo ebimaki libanda ya nzela, mpe bolukaki te oyo ebungaki; kasi nde bozalaki konyokola yango mpe komonisa yango pasi tango bozalaki kokamba yango!
You haven't taken care of the weak, healed the sick, bandaged the injured, brought home the strays, or looked for the lost. On the contrary, you ruled them using violence and cruelty.
5 Boye, bibwele na Ngai epanzanaki bipai na bipai mpe ekomaki bilei ya banyama ya zamba, pamba te moto akobatela yango azalaki lisusu te.
They were scattered because they didn't have a shepherd. When they scattered they were preyed on by all the wild animals for food.
6 Bibwele na Ngai ekomaki kotelengana na likolo ya bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse, epanzanaki na mokili mobimba; moto moko te azalaki koluka yango mpe koluka bolamu na yango.
My sheep strayed, going to all the mountains and high hills. They were scattered everywhere, and there was no one to go and look for them.
7 Mpo na yango, bino babateli bibwele, boyoka Liloba na Yawe:
So, you shepherds, listen to what the Lord has to say:
8 Na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, lokola bibwele na Ngai ezangi mobateli, bongo bakomi koyiba yango mpe ekomi bilei ya banyama nyonso ya zamba; lokola babateli bibwele na Ngai bazalaki koluka bibwele na Ngai te, kasi bazalaki kaka koluka kaka bolamu na bango moko koleka bolamu ya bibwele na Ngai;
As I live, declares the Lord God, because my sheep didn't have a shepherd and were preyed on by all the wild animals for food, and because my shepherds didn't look after my sheep but instead only fed themselves,
9 mpo na yango, bino babateli bibwele, boyoka Liloba na Yawe:
so, you shepherds, you listen to what the Lord has to say!
10 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Natombokeli babateli bibwele! Nakotuna bango bibwele na Ngai, nakobotola bibwele na Ngai na maboko na bango, nakotika bango lisusu te kobatela yango. Boye, bakokoka lisusu te komilukela bolamu na bango moko. Nakokangola bibwele na Ngai na minoko na bango, mpe ekotikala lisusu bilei na bango te.
This is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning the shepherds, and I will take my sheep back and stop them looking after the sheep so they won't be able to feed themselves anymore. I will take away my sheep from them, and I won't let them eat the sheep anymore.
11 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Ngai moko nakoluka bolamu ya bibwele na Ngai mpe nakobatela yango.
For this is what the Lord God says: Watch as I myself will go looking for my sheep, searching to find them.
12 Ndenge mobateli bibwele alukaka bolamu ya bibwele na ye, soki azali elongo na yango, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nakobatela mpe nakobikisa bibwele na Ngai wuta na bisika nyonso epai wapi ezali ya kopanzana, na mokolo ya mapata mpe ya molili makasi.
Just like a shepherd goes looking for his lost sheep when he is with the flock, so I will look for my sheep. I will rescue them from everywhere they were scattered on a dark and dismal day.
13 Nakobimisa yango wuta na bikolo epai wapi ezali ya kopanzana, nakosangisa yango wuta na mikili mosusu mpe nakozongisa yango na mabele na yango moko; nakoleisa yango na likolo ya bangomba ya Isalaele, kati na mabwaku mpe kati na bamboka nyonso ya mike ya Isalaele.
I will take them out from among the other nations. I will gather them from the different countries, and bring them back to their own country. Like a shepherd I will have them feed them on the mountains of Israel, in the valleys and everywhere that people live in the country.
14 Nakoleisa yango na esika ya matiti ya kitoko, mpe matiti na yango ya kolia ekozala na likolo ya bangomba ya Isalaele; kuna, ekopema mpe ekolia na mabele ya kitoko.
I will provide them with good pasture and places to graze in the high mountains of Israel. They will also be able to rest there in the good pasture and in the places to graze in mountains of Israel.
15 Ngai moko nakoleisa bibwele na Ngai, mpe Ngai moko nakopemisa yango, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
I myself will look after my sheep and give them a place to rest, declares the Lord God.
16 nakoluka oyo ebungaki, nakozongisa na nzela, oyo epengwaki; nakosalisa oyo ebukana lokolo, nakobikisa oyo ezangi makasi. Kasi nakoboma oyo ya mafuta mpe oyo ya makasi. Nakobatela bibwele na Ngai na bosembo.
I will go looking for the lost, bring home the strays, bandage the injured, and strengthen the weak. However, I will destroy those who are fat and strong. Because I do what's right, I will be sure to take care of them.
17 Mpo na bino, bibwele na Ngai, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakokata makambo kati na ebwele moko mpe ebwele mosusu, kati na bameme ya mibali mpe bantaba ya mibali.
My flock, this is what the Lord God says to you: Watch, because I will judge between one sheep and the next, between the rams and the goats.
18 Boni, ekoki te mpo na bino kolia na matiti ya kitoko? Mpo na nini bolingi lisusu ete matambe na bino enyataka-nyataka matiti oyo etikali? Ekoki te mpo na bino komela mayi ya peto? Mpo na nini bolingi lisusu ete matambe na bino ekomisa potopoto mayi oyo etikali?
Aren't you satisfied with feeding in good pasture? Do you have to trample down the rest of the pasture with your feet? Aren't you satisfied to drink the clear water? Do you have to muddy the rest of it with your feet?
19 Bolingi ete bibwele na Ngai elia matiti oyo matambe na bino enyati-nyati mpe emela mayi oyo matambe na bino ekomisi potopoto?
Why does my flock have to feed on what your feet have trampled down, and drink the water that your feet have muddied?
20 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na bango: Tala, nakokata, Ngai moko, makambo kati na ebwele oyo ya mafuta mpe oyo ekonda.
That's why the Lord God says to them: Watch, because I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the skinny sheep.
21 Lokola bosalelaki mipanzi mpe mapeka na bino mpo na kotindika bibwele oyo ekonda, mpe maseke na bino mpo na kobundisa yango kino kopanza yango na libanda,
Since you push others around with your sides and your shoulders, and use your horns to attack all the weak ones until you have chased them away,
22 nakobikisa bibwele na Ngai, mpe bakoyiba yango lisusu te; nakokata makambo kati na ebwele moko mpe ebwele mosusu.
I will rescue my flock, and they will no longer be your victims. I will judge between one sheep and the next.
23 Nakotia liboso na yango mobateli moko kaka ya bibwele: Davidi, mosali na Ngai; akoleisa yango, akoluka bolamu na yango mpe akozala mobateli na yango.
I will put one shepherd in charge of them, my servant David, and he will take care of them. He will take care of them and be their shepherd.
24 Ngai Yawe, nakozala Nzambe na yango; mpe Davidi, mosali na Ngai, akozala mokambi kati na yango. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi.
I the Lord will be their God, and my servant David will be their leader. I the Lord have spoken.
25 Nakosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na bibwele na Ngai, nakolongola banyama mabe kati na mokili mpo ete bibwele na Ngai evanda na kimia kati na esobe mpe elala na bazamba.
I will make an agreement of peace with them, and get rid of the wild animals from the country, so that they can live safely in the wilderness and sleep securely in the forest.
26 Nakokomisa lipamboli esobe elongo na bazamba mpe bisika oyo ezali zingazinga ya ngomba na Ngai ya moke; nakobetisa bamvula na tango na yango: ekozala bamvula ya mapamboli.
I will bless them and everywhere around my hill. I will send rain at the right time. They will be showers of blessing.
27 Banzete ya bilanga ekobota bambuma, mpe mabele ekobota biloko ebele. Bato na Ngai bakozala na kimia na mabele na bango; boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe tango nakobuka banzete ya ekangiseli na bango mpe nakokangola bango na maboko ya bato oyo banyokolaka bango.
The trees in the orchards will produce their fruit; the earth will grow its crops; and my flock will be live in safety in their country. Then they will know that I am the Lord, when I break their yokes of slavery, and set them free from those who made them slaves.
28 Bato ya bikolo mosusu bakoyiba bango lisusu te, mpe banyama ya zamba ekoboma bango lisusu te; bakobika na kimia mpe eloko moko te ekoya lisusu kobangisa bango.
They won't be the victims of other nations anymore, and wild animals won't eat them. They will live in safety, and no one will terrorize them.
29 Nakobotisela bango elanga moko oyo ekokende sango mpo na bambuma na yango; moto moko te kati na mokili akokufa lisusu na nzala mpe bato ya bikolo mosusu bakotiola bango lisusu te.
I will make their fields produce remarkable harvests, and they won't suffer famine in their country again or be mocked by others.
30 Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe, Nzambe na bango, nazali elongo na bango, mpe ete bango, libota ya Isalaele, bazali bato na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
Then they will know that I am with them as the Lord their God, and that the people of Israel belong to me, declares the Lord God.
31 Bino, bibwele na Ngai, bibwele oyo naleisaka, bozali bato; mpe Ngai, nazali Nzambe na bino, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
You are my sheep, the sheep that I feed. You are my people, and I am your God, declares the Lord God.”
