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.
Thou also, son of man, take thee a tile, and lay it before thee, and pourtray upon it the city, even 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 lay siege against it, and build a fort against it, and cast a mount against it; set the camp also against it, and set battering rams against it round about.
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.
Moreover take thou unto thee an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between thee and the city: and set thy face against it, and it shall be besieged, and thou shalt lay siege against it. This shall be 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.
Lie thou also upon thy left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel upon it: according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon it thou shalt bear 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 laid upon thee the years of their iniquity, according to the number of the days, three hundred and ninety days: so shalt thou 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 thou hast accomplished them, lie again on thy right side, and thou shalt bear the iniquity of the house of Judah forty days: I have appointed thee each day for a year.
7 Talisa elongi mpe loboko na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi oyo bazingela mpe sakola mabe na tina na yango.
Therefore thou shalt set thy face toward the siege of Jerusalem, and thine arm shall be uncovered, and thou shalt 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.
And, behold, I will lay bands upon thee, and thou shalt not turn thee from one side to another, till thou hast ended the days of thy 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.
Take thou also unto thee wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentiles, and millet, and fitches, and put them in one vessel, and make thee bread thereof, according to the number of the days that thou shalt lie upon thy side, three hundred and ninety days shalt thou eat thereof.
10 Bilei na yo ya mokolo na mokolo ekozala ya bagrame nkama mibale na tuku mibale, mpe okobanda kolia yango tango nyonso.
And thy meat which thou shalt eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time shalt thou eat it.
11 Okobanda komela tango nyonso litele moko ya mayi.
Thou shalt drink also water by measure, the sixth part of an hin: from time to time shalt thou drink.
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 thou shalt eat it as barley cakes, and thou shalt bake it with dung that cometh out of man, in their sight.
13 Yawe alobaki: — Ezali na nzela wana nde bana ya Isalaele bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na bikolo epai wapi nakobengana bango.
And Yhwh said, Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their defiled bread among the Gentiles, whither I will drive them.
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!
Then said I, Ah Lord Yhwh! behold, my soul hath not been polluted: for from my youth up even till now have I not eaten of that which dieth of itself, or is torn in pieces; neither came there abominable flesh 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.
Then he said unto me, Lo, I have given thee cow’s dung for man’s dung, and thou shalt prepare thy bread therewith.
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;
Moreover he said unto me, Son of man, behold, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with care; and they shall drink water by measure, and with astonishment:
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.
That they may want bread and water, and be astonied one with another, and consume away for their iniquity.
