Ezekieli 36
1 « Mwana na moto, sakola na tina na bangomba ya Isalaele mpe loba: ‹ Bino bangomba ya Isalaele, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
And you, son of man, be a prophet about the mountains of Israel, and say, You mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord:
2 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Moyini alobaki na tina na bino: ‘Ah, bangomba ya kala ekomi sik’oyo ya biso!’ ›
This is what the Lord has said: Because your hater has said against you, Aha! and, The old waste places are our heritage, we have taken them:
3 Yango wana, sakola! Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola babebisaki bino mpe bapanzaki bino bipai nyonso mpo ete bokoma libula ya bikolo mosusu mpe eloko ya masolo ya kotiola mpe ya kofinga kati na bato;
For this cause be a prophet, and say, This is what the Lord has said: Because, even because they have been glad over you and put you to shame on every side, because you have become a heritage for the rest of the nations, and you are taken up on the lips of talkers and in the evil talk of the people:
4 mpo na yango, bino bangomba ya Isalaele, boyoka liloba na Nkolo Yawe: Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na bangomba ya milayi mpe ya mikuse, na mabulu mpe na mabwaku, na bisika ya libebi mpe na bingumba oyo basundola mpe babebisa, bongo bato ya bikolo mosusu ya zingazinga bayibaki mpe bakomisaki yango eloko ya kotiola;
For this reason, you mountains of Israel, give ear to the word of the Lord; this is what the Lord has said to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, to the unpeopled wastes and to the towns where no one is living, from which the goods have been taken and which have been put to shame by the rest of the nations who are round about:
5 tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: na zuwa na Ngai ya makasi, natombokeli bikolo oyo etikali mpe mokili mobimba ya Edomi, pamba te na esengo nyonso mpe na mayele mabe kati na mitema na bango, bakomisi mokili na Ngai lokola libula na bango moko mpo ete babotola bilanga na yango nyonso na makasi. ›
For this cause the Lord has said: Truly, in the heat of my bitter feeling I have said things against the rest of the nations and against all Edom, who have taken my land as a heritage for themselves with the joy of all their heart, and with bitter envy of soul have made attacks on it:
6 Mpo na yango, sakola na tina na mokili ya Isalaele mpe loba na bangomba ya milayi mpe ya mikuse, na mabulu mpe na mabwaku: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nazali koloba na zuwa mpe na kanda na Ngai ya makasi, pamba te bikolo mosusu emonisi bino pasi na kotiola.
For this cause be a prophet about the land of Israel, and say to the mountains and to the hills, to the streams and to the valleys, This is what the Lord has said: Truly, in my bitter feeling and in my wrath I have said these things, because you have undergone the shame of the nations:
7 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: nalapi ndayi, na kotombola loboko, ete ezali bikolo oyo ezingeli bino nde ekotiolama.
For this cause the Lord has said, See, I have taken an oath that the nations which are round about you are themselves to undergo the shame which they have put on you.
8 Kasi bino, bangomba ya Isalaele, bokobota bitape mpe bambuma mpo na Isalaele, bato na Ngai; pamba te etikali kaka moke ete bazonga epai na bango.
But you, O mountains of Israel, will put out your branches and give your fruit to my people Israel; for they are ready to come.
9 Nazali kolandela likambo na bino mpe nazali kotala bino na liso ya ngolu; bakobalola bino lisusu ndenge babalolaka mabele ya bilanga mpe bakolona lisusu bankona na mabele na bino.
For truly I am for you, and I will be turned to you, and you will be ploughed and planted:
10 Nakokomisa motango ya bato na bino ebele, na mabele na bino: yango nde libota mobimba ya Isalaele; bato bakozongela lisusu kovanda kati na bingumba na bino mpe bakotonga lisusu bandako na bino oyo ebukana.
And I will let your numbers be increased, all the children of Israel, even all of them: and the towns will be peopled and the waste places will have buildings;
11 Nakokomisa motango ya bato mpe ya bibwele na bino ebele na mokili na bino: bakobotana mpe bakokoma ebele penza. Nakovandisa lisusu bato na mokili na bino ndenge ezalaka na tango ya kala mpe nakokomisa bino bato ya kofuluka koleka liboso. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
Man and beast will be increased in you, and they will have offspring and be fertile: I will make you thickly peopled as you were before, and will do more for you than at the first: and you will be certain that I am the Lord.
12 Nakosala ete bato na Ngai, bana ya Isalaele, batambola na mokili na bino; bakozwa mabele na bino mpe bokozala libula na bango; bokotikala lisusu te koboma bana na bango.
Yes, I will have you walked on by the feet of men, even my people Israel; they will have you for a heritage and you will be theirs, and never again will you take their children from them.
13 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola bato balobaka na tina na bino: Bobomaka bato mpe bozangisaka ekolo na bino bana na yango;
This is what the Lord has said: Because they say to you, You, O land, are the destruction of men, causing loss of children to your nation;
14 mpo na yango, bokoboma lisusu bato te mpe bokozangisa lisusu ekolo na bino bana te, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
For this reason you will no longer take the lives of men and will never again be the cause of loss of children to your nation, says the Lord.
15 Nakosala ete boyoka lisusu kotiolama ya bikolo mosusu te, mpe bato ya bikolo mosusu bakofinga bino lisusu te; na bongo, bokokweyisa lisusu ekolo na bino te, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
And I will not let the shaming of the nations come to your ears, and no longer will you be looked down on by the peoples, says the Lord.
16 Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu:
Then the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
17 « Mwana na moto, tango bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kovanda na mokili na bango, bazalaki kokomisa yango mbindo na ezaleli mpe na misala na bango; ezaleli na bango ezalaki mbindo na miso na Ngai lokola makila ya mwasi oyo azali komona sanza na ye.
Son of man, when the children of Israel were living in their land, they made it unclean by their way and their acts: their way before me was as when a woman is unclean at the time when she is kept separate.
18 Boye, napeliselaki bango kanda na Ngai ya makasi, pamba te bazalaki kotangisa makila kati na mokili mpe bakomisaki yango mbindo na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko.
So I let loose my wrath on them because of those whom they had violently put to death in the land, and because they had made it unclean with their images:
19 Napanzaki bango kati na bikolo, mpe bapalanganaki kati na mikili mosusu; nasambisaki bango kolanda etamboli mpe misala na bango.
And I sent them in flight among the nations and wandering through the countries: I was their judge, rewarding them for their way and their acts.
20 Nzokande, na bisika nyonso oyo bazalaki kokende, babebisaki bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai, pamba te bazalaki koloba na tina na bango: ‹ Bato wana bazali solo bato ya Yawe, kasi tala ndenge batiki mokili na Ye! ›
And when they came among the nations, wherever they went, they made my holy name unclean, when it was said of them, These are the people of the Lord who have gone out from his land.
21 Boye, nabatelaki lokumu mpe bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai, oyo libota ya Isalaele babebisaki bosantu na yango kati na bikolo epai wapi bakendeki.
But I had pity for my holy name which the children of Israel had made unclean wherever they went.
22 Mpo na yango, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh libota ya Isalaele, ezali mpo na bino te nde nazali kosala makambo oyo nyonso, kasi mpo na bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai, oyo bobebisaki kati na bikolo epai wapi bokendeki.
For this cause say to the children of Israel, This is what the Lord has said: I am doing this, not because of you, O children of Israel, but because of my holy name, which you have made unclean among the nations wherever you went.
23 Nakolakisa bosantu ya Kombo monene na Ngai, oyo esambwaki kati na bikolo, Kombo oyo bobebisaki bosantu na yango kati na bikolo yango. Boye, bikolo ekoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, elobi Nkolo Yawe, tango nakomonisa bosantu na Ngai na nzela na bino na miso na bango.
And I will make holy my great name which has been made unclean among the nations, which you have made unclean among them; and it will be clear to the nations that I am the Lord, says the Lord, when I make myself holy in you before their eyes.
24 Pamba te nakobimisa bino na bikolo, nakosangisa bino wuta na bikolo mpe nakozongisa bino na mabele na bino moko.
For I will take you out from among the nations, and get you together from all the countries, and take you into your land.
25 Nakobwakela bino mayi ya peto, mpe bokokoma peto; nakopetola bino na mbindo na bino nyonso mpe na mbindo ya banzambe na bino nyonso ya bikeko.
And I will put clean water on you so that you may be clean: from all your unclean ways and from all your images I will make you clean.
26 Nakopesa bino motema ya sika mpe nakotia kati na bino molimo ya sika; nakolongola kati na bino mitema ya mabanga mpe nakopesa bino mitema ya misuni.
And I will give you a new heart and put a new spirit in you: I will take away the heart of stone from your flesh, and give you a heart of flesh.
27 Nakotia Molimo na Ngai kati na bino mpe nakosala ete botosa bikateli na Ngai mpe bobatela mibeko na Ngai na bokebi.
And I will put my spirit in you, causing you to be guided by my rules, and you will keep my orders and do them.
28 Bokovanda kati na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bakoko na bino; bokozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai, nakozala Nzambe na bino.
So that you may go on living in the land which I gave to your fathers; and you will be to me a people, and I will be to you a God.
29 Nakobikisa bino na mbindo na bino nyonso, nakobotisa mbuma ya ble mpe nakokomisa yango ebele penza; bongo nakotindela bino lisusu nzala te.
And I will make you free from all your unclean ways: and at my voice the grain will come up and be increased, and I will not let you be short of food.
30 Nakosala ete banzete mpe milona ya bilanga ebota ebele, mpo ete boyoka lisusu soni te na miso ya bikolo likolo ya nzala.
And I will make the tree give more fruit and the field fuller produce, and no longer will you be shamed among the nations for need of food.
31 Boye, tango bokokanisa lisusu etamboli mabe na bino mpe misala na bino ya mabe, bino moko bokomiyina likolo ya masumu mpe ya misala na bino ya nkele.
And at the memory of your evil ways and your wrongdoings, you will have bitter hate for yourselves because of your evil-doings and your disgusting ways, O children of Israel.
32 Nalingi bososola ete nazali kosala makambo oyo mpo na bino te, elobi Nkolo Yawe! Oh libota ya Isalaele, boyoka mawa mpe soni mpo na etamboli na bino!
Not because of you am I doing it, says the Lord; let it be clear to you, and be shamed and made low because of your ways, O children of Israel.
33 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na mokolo oyo nakopetola bino na masumu na bino nyonso, nakosala ete bato bazongela kovanda na bingumba na bino mpe batonga yango lisusu;
This is what the Lord has said: In the day when I make you clean from all your evil-doings I will let the towns be peopled and there will be building on the waste places.
34 nakosala ete basala lisusu bilanga na mabele oyo ekomaki esobe, na esika ete etikala pamba na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bakoleka wana.
And the land which was waste will be farmed, in place of being a waste in the eyes of everyone who went by.
35 Bongo, bakoloba: ‘Mokili oyo ebebisamaki ekomi lokola elanga ya Edeni; bingumba oyo babuka, bongo etikala lisusu na bato te mpe babebisa, elendisami lisusu mpe bato bakomi lisusu kovanda kuna.’
And they will say, This land which was waste has become like the garden of Eden; and the towns which were unpeopled and wasted and pulled down are walled and peopled.
36 Boye, bikolo oyo ekotikala zingazinga na bino ekoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe; Ngai nde natongi lisusu bingumba oyo ebukana, mpe naloni lisusu biloko oyo ebebisama. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi mpe nakokokisa yango. ›
Then the rest of the nations round about you will be certain that I the Lord am the builder of the places which were pulled down and the planter of that which was waste: I the Lord have said it, and I will do it.
37 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na mbala oyo lisusu, nakosala ete libota ya Isalaele eluka Ngai mpo ete natalisa bango ngolu na Ngai: nakosala ete bato na yango bakoma ebele lokola bibwele.
This is what the Lord has said: The children of Israel will again make prayer to me for this, that I may do it for them; I will make them increased with men like a flock.
38 Bingumba oyo ebebisama ekotonda lisusu na bato ebele lokola bibwele oyo bapesaka na mbeka, lokola bibwele oyo bamemaka na Yelusalemi na tango ya bafeti oyo ekatama. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »
Like sheep for the offerings, like the sheep of Jerusalem at her fixed feasts, so the unpeopled towns will be made full of men: and they will be certain that I am the Lord.
