Ezekieli 37
1 Loboko ya Yawe ezalaki likolo na ngai; bongo Yawe abimisaki ngai na nzela ya Molimo na Ye mpe amemaki ngai kino na kati-kati ya lubwaku moko etonda na mikuwa.
The hand of Jehovah was upon me, and he carried me out in the spirit of Jehovah, and set me in the midst of a valley, which was full of bones,
2 Atambolisaki ngai na bangambo nyonso kati na mikuwa yango: namonaki ete ezali ebele penza mpe ekawuka, kati na lubwaku yango.
and caused me to pass by them round about; and behold, there were very many upon the surface of the valley, and lo, they were very dry.
3 Atunaki ngai: — Mwana na moto, mikuwa oyo ekoki lisusu kozala na bomoi? Nazongisaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, Yo kaka nde oyebi!
And he said to me, Son of man, can these bones live? And I answered, O Lord Jehovah, thou knowest!
4 Bongo alobaki na ngai: — Sakola epai ya mikuwa oyo mpe yebisa yango: « Eh bino mikuwa ekawuka, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
Then he said to me, Prophesy to these dry bones, and say to them, O ye dry bones, hear the word of Jehovah!
5 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakotia pema kati na bino mpe bokozwa lisusu bomoi.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah to these bones: Behold, I will cause breath to enter into you, and ye shall live;
6 Nakotia bino misisa mpe misuni, nakolatisa bino poso ya nzoto mpe nakotia pema kati na bino. Boye bokozwa lisusu bomoi, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »
and I will lay sinews upon you, and will bring up flesh upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath into you, and ye shall live; and ye shall know that I am Jehovah.
7 Boye, nasakolaki ndenge kaka atindaki ngai. Bongo wana nazalaki nanu kosakola, makelele moko ya makasi eyokanaki; mpe, mbala moko, mikuwa yango ekomaki koningana mpe kosangana moko na moko na mosusu.
So I prophesied, as I was commanded; and as I prophesied, a voice was heard, and behold, a shaking, and the bones came together, bone to its bone.
8 Wana nazalaki kotala, namonaki misisa mpe misuni kobima na mikuwa yango mpe poso ya nzoto kozipa yango, kasi ezalaki na pema te.
And when I looked, behold, there were sinews upon them, and the flesh grew, and the skin covered them above; but there was no breath in them.
9 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Mwana na moto, sakola epai ya pema, sakola mpe loba na pema: « Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh pema, yaka wuta na bisika nyonso mopepe ebimelaka mpe kota kati na banzoto oyo mpo ete ezwa lisusu bomoi! »
Then said he to me, Prophesy to breath, prophesy, O son of man, and say to breath, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live!
10 Nasakolaki ndenge kaka atindaki ngai; bongo pema ekotaki kati na yango mpe ezwaki lisusu bomoi. Batelemaki mpe bazalaki mampinga moko ya monene.
So I prophesied, as he commanded me; and the breath came into them, and they lived and stood on their feet, an exceedingly great host.
11 Alobaki na ngai: — Mwana na moto, mikuwa oyo ezali libota mobimba ya Isalaele! Bazali koloba: « Mikuwa na biso ekawuki, elikya na biso esili, bomoi na biso ebebi! »
And he said to me, Son of man, these bones denote the whole house of Israel. Behold, they say, “Our bones are dried, and our hope is lost, and we are cut off.”
12 Yango wana, sakola mpe loba na bango: « Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh bato na Ngai, nakofungola bakunda na bino mpe nakobimisa bino kuna, bongo nakozongisa bino na mabele ya Isalaele.
Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people, and bring you into the land of Israel.
13 Mpe bino, bato na Ngai, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakofungola bakunda na bino mpe nakobimisa bino kuna!
And ye shall know that I am Jehovah, when I open your graves, and cause you to come up out of your graves, O my people,
14 Nakotia Molimo na Ngai kati na bino, mpe bokozwa lisusu bomoi; bongo nakovandisa bino na mabele na bino. Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe nde nalobaki mpe nakokisaki yango, elobi Yawe. »
and put my breath within you, and ye live, and I place you in your own land; then shall ye know that I, Jehovah, have spoken it, and done it, saith Jehovah.
15 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
16 « Mwana na moto, kamata eteni ya libaya mpe koma na likolo na yango: ‹ Mpo na Yuda mpe mpo na bana ya Isalaele oyo basangani na ye. › Kamata eteni mosusu ya libaya mpe koma na likolo na yango: ‹ Mpo na Jozefi, nzete ya Efrayimi, mpe mpo na libota mobimba ya Isalaele oyo esangani na ye. ›
Son of man, take thee one stick, and write upon it, “For Judah, and for the sons of Israel, his companions”; and take another stick, and write upon it, “For Joseph, the stick of Ephraim, and the whole house of Israel, his companions.”
17 Kangisa yango mpe komisa yango libaya moko mpo ete ezala eloko moko kati na loboko na yo.
Then join them one to another into one stick, that they may become one in thy hand.
18 Soki bandeko na yo batuni yo: ‹ Olingi koloba na biso nini? Makambo oyo elingi kolakisa nini? ›
And when the sons of thy people say to thee. “Wilt thou not show us what thou meanest by these?”
19 Okozongisela bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakozwa libaya ya Jozefi, oyo ezali kati na loboko ya Efrayimi, mpe bato ya mabota ya Isalaele oyo basangani na ye; nakokangisa yango na libaya ya Yuda. Nakokomisa yango nzete moko mpe ekokoma eloko moko kati na loboko na Ngai. ›
say to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the stick of Joseph, which is in the hand of Ephraim, and of the tribes of Israel, his companions, and will unite them and him with the stick of Judah, and make them one stick, and they shall be one in my hand.
20 Okosimba kati na loboko na yo, na miso na bango, mabaya oyo okomaki;
And let the sticks whereon thou writest be in thy hand before their eyes;
21 mpe okoloba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakobimisa bana ya Isalaele wuta na bikolo ya zingazinga epai wapi bakendeki mpe nakozongisa bango na mabele na bango.
and say thou to them, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I will take the sons of Israel from among the nations whither they are gone, and will gather them from every side, and bring them into their own land.
22 Nakokomisa bango ekolo kaka moko kati na mokili, na likolo ya bangomba ya Isalaele. Ekozala kaka na mokonzi moko oyo akokonza bango; mpe bakozala lisusu bikolo mibale te to bakokabwana lisusu na bokonzi mibale te.
And I will make them one nation in the land, upon the mountains of Israel; and one king shall be king over them all; and they shall no more be two nations, and no more shall they be divided into two kingdoms.
23 Bakomikomisa lisusu mbindo te na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe ya bililingi na bango ya mabe to na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe; pamba te nakobikisa bango wuta na bisika oyo bazalaki kovanda epai wapi basalaki masumu mpe nakopetola bango; bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango.
Neither shall they defile themselves any more with their idols, nor with their abominations, nor with any of their transgressions; but I will save them from all their dwelling-places wherein they have sinned, and will cleanse them; and they shall be my people, and I will be their God.
24 Mosali na Ngai, Davidi, akozala mokonzi na bango, mpe bango nyonso bakozala na mobateli bibwele kaka moko, bakotosa mibeko na Ngai mpe bakobatela na bokebi mitindo na Ngai.
And my servant David shall be king over them, and they shall have one shepherd; and they shall walk in my commandments, and observe my statutes, and do them.
25 Bakovanda lisusu na mokili oyo napesaki na Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, mokili oyo batata na bino bavandaki: bango, bana na bango ya mibali mpe bakitani na bango ya mibali bakovanda kuna mpo na libela; mpe mosali na Ngai, Davidi, akozala mokambi na bango mpo na libela.
And they shall dwell in the land which I gave to my servant Jacob, wherein your fathers dwelt; they shall dwell therein, and their sons and their son's sons forever; and David, my servant, shall be their prince forever.
26 Nakosala boyokani ya kimia elongo na bango: ekozala boyokani ya libela na libela. Nakolendisa bango, nakokomisa bango ebele koleka mpe nakotia Esika na Ngai ya bule kati na bango mpo na libela.
And I will make with them a covenant of peace; it shall be an everlasting covenant with them. And I will place them [[in the land]], and multiply them, and set my sanctuary in the midst of them forever.
27 Nakotia ndako na Ngai kati na bango; nakozala Nzambe na bango, mpe bango, bakozala bato na Ngai.
And my dwelling-place shall be with them; yea, I will be their God, and they shall be my people;
28 Bongo bato ya bikolo mosusu bakoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe nde nakomisi Isalaele bule tango nakotia Esika na Ngai ya bule kati na bango mpo na libela. › »
and the nations shall know that I, Jehovah, do sanctify Israel, when my sanctuary shall be in the midst of them forevermore.
