Ezekieli 4
1 « Sik’oyo mwana na moto, kamata biliki ya kotumba, tia yango liboso na yo mpe koma na likolo na yango elilingi ya engumba Yelusalemi.
“And as for you, son of man, take up for yourself a tablet, and you shall set it before you. And you shall draw upon it the city of Jerusalem.
2 Sala yango lokola engumba oyo bazingela, oyo batonga mabulu ya kobombamela zingazinga na yango mpe oyo batelemisa bamir ya zelo mpo na kobombama, engumba oyo batonga milako zingazinga na yango, mpe telemisa bakonzi ya basoda oyo babongami mpo na kobundisa yango na zingazinga.
And you shall set up a blockade against it, and you shall build fortifications, and you shall put together a rampart, and you shall encamp opposite it, and you shall place battering rams around it.
3 Kamata eteni ya linzanza, tia yango lokola mir ya ebende na kati-kati na yo mpe elilingi ya engumba oyo osili kokoma, mpe tika ete miso na yo etala yango. Bakozingela engumba yango ndenge kaka yo osili kozingela yango. Yango nde ekozala elembo mpo na libota ya Isalaele.
And you shall take up for yourself an iron frying pan, and place it as an iron wall between you and the city. And harden your face against it, and it shall be under a siege, and you shall surround it. This is a sign to the house of Israel.
4 Bongo yo, lala na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mwasi, tia na ngambo wana masumu ya libota ya Isalaele. Okomema masumu na bango mikolo nyonso oyo okolala na ngambo wana.
And you shall sleep on your left side. And you shall place the iniquities of the house of Israel on it by the number of days that you will sleep on it. And you shall take upon yourself their iniquity.
5 Ngai moko nakokatela yo motango ya mikolo, oyo ekokokana na motango ya mibu oyo libota ya Isalaele asali masumu: mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa; mpe okomema solo masumu ya libota ya Isalaele na mikolo oyo.
For I have given to you the years of their iniquity, by the number of the days: three hundred and ninety days. And you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.
6 Sima na yo kosilisa mikolo yango, lala lisusu na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali mpe mema lisusu masumu ya libota ya Yuda. Nakateli yo mikolo tuku minei: mokolo moko mpo na mobu moko na moko.
And when you will have completed this, you shall sleep a second time, on your right side, and you shall assume the iniquity of the house of Judah for forty days: one day for each year; one day, I say, for each year, have I given to you.
7 Talisa elongi mpe loboko na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi oyo bazingela mpe sakola mabe na tina na yango.
And you shall turn your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and your arm shall be extended. And you shall prophesy against it.
8 Nakolinga-linga yo na basinga mpo ete okoka kobaluka na ngambo mosusu te kino tango okokokisa mikolo na yo ya etumbu.
Behold, I have surrounded you with chains. And you shall not turn yourself from one side to the other side, until you have completed the days of your siege.
9 Kamata ble mpe orje, madesu mpe misili, soya mpe masango, tia yango nyonso kati na mbeki moko kaka oyo babombelaka biloko. Ezali yango nde ekozala bilei oyo okobanda kolia tango nyonso, na mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa oyo okowumela ya kolala na ngambo moko.
And you shall take for yourself wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and vetch. And you shall set them in one vessel, and you shall make for yourself bread by the number of days that you will sleep upon your side: three hundred and ninety days shall you shall eat from it.
10 Bilei na yo ya mokolo na mokolo ekozala ya bagrame nkama mibale na tuku mibale, mpe okobanda kolia yango tango nyonso.
But your food, which you will eat, shall be in weight twenty staters a day. You shall eat it from time to time.
11 Okobanda komela tango nyonso litele moko ya mayi.
And you shall drink water by measure, one sixth part of a hin. You shall drink it from time to time.
12 Okolia bilei basala lokola gato ya orje mpe okobanda kotumba yango na miso ya bato nyonso, na moto oyo bapelisa na nyei ya bato. »
And you shall eat it like barley bread baked under ashes. And you shall cover it, in their sight, with the dung that goes out of a man.”
13 Yawe alobaki: — Ezali na nzela wana nde bana ya Isalaele bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na bikolo epai wapi nakobengana bango.
And the Lord said: “So shall the sons of Israel eat their bread, polluted among the Gentiles, to whom I will cast them out.”
14 Bongo nalobaki: — Te, Nkolo Yawe! Natikala nanu komikomisa mbindo te! Wuta bolenge na ngai, natikala nanu kolia te nyama oyo ekufa yango moko to nyama oyo nyama ya zamba esila koboma! Te, monoko na ngai etikala nanu kolia mosuni ya mbindo te!
And I said: “Alas, alas, alas, O Lord God! Behold, my soul has not been polluted, and from my infancy even until now, I have not eaten anything that has died of itself, nor that which has been torn up by beasts, and no unclean flesh at all has entered into my mouth.”
15 Alobaki na ngai: — Malamu mingi! Na esika ya nyei ya bato, napesi yo nyei ya ngombe mpo ete okoka kotumbela gato na yo.
And he said to me: “Behold, I have given to you cow manure in place of human dung, and you shall make your bread with it.”
16 Alobaki na ngai lisusu: — Mwana na moto, nakobebisa bilei nyonso oyo ezali na bibombelo ya Yelusalemi. Bato bakolia biteni mike ya mapa, na pasi na motema, mpe bakomela mayi na bakopo ya mike, na somo;
And he said to me: “Son of man, behold: I will crush the staff of bread in Jerusalem. And they will eat bread by weight and with anxiety. And they will drink water by measure and with anguish.
17 pamba te bilei mpe mayi ya komela ekokoma pasi mpo na kozwa. Moko na moko akokamwa mpo na moninga na ye mosusu; mpe bakobebisama likolo ya masumu na bango.
So then, when bread and water fail, each one may fall against his brother. And they shall waste away in their iniquities.”
