Ezekieli 34
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord came unto 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 concerning the shepherds of Israel; prophesy, and say unto them, unto the shepherds, Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Woe to the shepherds of Israel who do feed themselves! should not the shepherds feed the flocks?
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!
The fat ye eat, and with the wool ye clothe yourselves, those that are well fed ye slaughter; but the flock ye feed not.
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!
The diseased have ye not strengthened, and the sick have ye not healed, and that which had a limb broken have ye not bound up, and the strayed have ye not brought back again, and what was lost have ye not sought for; but with force have ye ruled them and with rigor.
5 Boye, bibwele na Ngai epanzanaki bipai na bipai mpe ekomaki bilei ya banyama ya zamba, pamba te moto akobatela yango azalaki lisusu te.
And they were scattered for want of a shepherd; and they became food unto all the beasts of the field, and they were scattered.
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 have to wander about on all the mountains, and upon every high hill: yea, over all the face of the land are my flock scattered, and there is none that inquireth and none that seeketh [after them].
7 Mpo na yango, bino babateli bibwele, boyoka Liloba na Yawe:
Therefore, ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord,
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, saith the Lord Eternal, surely because my flock became a prey, and my flock became food unto every beast of the field, because there was no shepherd, and my shepherds did not inquire for my flock, but the shepherds fed themselves, and my flock they fed not:
9 mpo na yango, bino babateli bibwele, boyoka Liloba na Yawe:
Therefore, O ye shepherds, hear the word of the Lord,
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.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will be against the shepherds, and I will require my flock from their hand, and I will stop them from feeding the flock; neither shall the shepherds feed themselves any more: and I will deliver my flock out of their mouth, that they may not serve them for food.
11 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Ngai moko nakoluka bolamu ya bibwele na Ngai mpe nakobatela yango.
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I am here, and I will both inquire for my flocks, and search for 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.
As a shepherd searcheth for his flock on the day that he is among his flocks that are scattered: so will I search for my flocks; and I will deliver them out of all places whither they have been scattered on the day of clouds and [tempestuous] darkness.
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.
And I will bring them out from the people, and gather them from the countries, and I will bring them to their own land; and I will feed them upon the mountains of Israel, in the ravines, and in all the inhabited places of 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.
On a good pasture will I feed them, and upon the high mountains of Israel shall be their fold: there shall they lie in a good fold, and in a fat pasture shall they feed on the mountains of Israel.
15 Ngai moko nakoleisa bibwele na Ngai, mpe Ngai moko nakopemisa yango, elobi Nkolo Yawe;
I myself will feed my flock, and I myself will cause them to lie down, saith the Lord Eternal.
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.
That which was lost will I seek for, and that which was gone astray will I bring back again, and that which had a limb broken will I bind up, and the sick will I strengthen: but the fat and the strong will I destroy; I will feed them in justice.
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.
And as for you, O my flock, thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will judge between lamb and lamb, between the wethers and the he-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?
Is it too little for you that ye can feed on the good pasture, that ye must tread down the residue of your pastures with your feet? and that ye can drink clear waters, that ye must render muddy with your feet what is left?
19 Bolingi ete bibwele na Ngai elia matiti oyo matambe na bino enyati-nyati mpe emela mayi oyo matambe na bino ekomisi potopoto?
And as for my flock, what ye have trodden with your feet must they eat; and what ye have made muddy with your feet must they drink.
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.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal unto them, Behold, I am here, and I will judge between the fat lamb and the lean lamb.
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,
Because ye thrust with side and with shoulder, and push with your horns all the diseased, till ye have scattered them abroad:
22 nakobikisa bibwele na Ngai, mpe bakoyiba yango lisusu te; nakokata makambo kati na ebwele moko mpe ebwele mosusu.
Therefore will I save my flock, and they shall no more be a prey; and I will judge between lamb and lamb.
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.
And I will appoint over them one shepherd, and he shall feed them, namely, my servant David: he it is that shall feed them, and he it is that shall be unto them for a shepherd.
24 Ngai Yawe, nakozala Nzambe na yango; mpe Davidi, mosali na Ngai, akozala mokambi kati na yango. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi.
And I the Lord—I will be unto them for a God, and my servant David shall be a prince in their midst: I the Lord have spoken it.
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.
And I will make with them a covenant of peace, and I will cause the wild beasts to cease out of the land: and they shall dwell in the wilderness in safety, and sleep in the forests.
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.
And I will make them and the environs of my hill a blessing; and I will cause the rain to come down in its season; rains of blessing shall they be.
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.
And the tree of the field shall yield its fruit, and the earth shall yield her products, and they shall be on their land in safety: and they shall know that I am the Lord, when I break the bands of their yoke, and deliver them out of the hand of those that had made them labor for them.
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.
And they shall be no more a prey to the nations, and the beasts of the land shall not devour them; but they shall dwell in safety, with none to make them afraid.
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.
And I will raise up for them a plantation for a [perpetual] renown, and they shall be no more taken away by hunger in the land, neither bear the shameful reproach of the nations any more.
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.
Thus shall they experience that I the Lord their God am with them, and that they, the house of Israel, are my people, saith the Lord Eternal.
31 Bino, bibwele na Ngai, bibwele oyo naleisaka, bozali bato; mpe Ngai, nazali Nzambe na bino, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
And ye my flock, the flock of my pasture, are men, [and] I am your God, saith the Lord Eternal.
