Ezekieli 5
1 Sik’oyo, mwana na moto, kamata mopanga ya minu mpe salela yango lokola jileti mpo na kokata suki ya moto mpe mandefu na yo; kamata lisusu emekelo kilo mpe kabola suki yango na maboke.
“You, son of man, take a sharp sword. You shall take it as a barber’s razor to yourself, and shall cause it to pass over your head and over your beard. Then take balances to weigh and divide the hair.
2 Tango mikolo ya etumbu na yo ekosila, okotumba na moto kati na engumba ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato; okokamata ndambo moko mosusu kati na bandambo misato, okobeta-beta yango na mopanga zingazinga ya engumba, mpe okopanza ndambo moko mosusu kati na bandambo misato na mopepe, mpe Ngai nakolanda bango na mopanga.
A third part you shall burn in the fire in the middle of the city, when the days of the siege are fulfilled. You shall take a third part, and strike with the sword around it. A third part you shall scatter to the wind, and I will draw out a sword after them.
3 Kasi kamata ndambo moke kaka ya suki, kanga yango na songe ya elamba na yo.
You shall take a small number of these and bind them in the folds of your robe.
4 Bongo, na oyo ekotikala, bwaka ndambo na yango na moto mpo ete ezika. Boye, moto oyo ekobima kuna ekopanzana na libota mobimba ya Isalaele.
Of these again you shall take, and cast them into the middle of the fire, and burn them in the fire. From it a fire will come out into all the house of Israel.
5 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Tala Yelusalemi! Natiaki yango na kati-kati ya bikolo, mpe bamboka minene ezingelaki yango.
“The Lord GOD says: ‘This is Jerusalem. I have set her in the middle of the nations, and countries are around her.
6 Kasi likolo ya mitema mabe ya bato na yango, batombokelaki mibeko na Ngai mpe balandaki bikateli na Ngai te; basalaki mabe koleka bikolo mpe bamboka ya zingazinga, pamba te batiolaki mibeko na Ngai, batambolaki te kolanda mitindo na Ngai.
She has rebelled against my ordinances in doing wickedness more than the nations, and against my statutes more than the countries that are around her; for they have rejected my ordinances, and as for my statutes, they have not walked in them.’
7 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola botambolaki na botomboki koleka bikolo oyo ezali zingazinga na bino, bolandaki mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai te mpe bolandaki ata kutu bosembo ya bamboka oyo ezingelaki bino te;
“Therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Because you are more turbulent than the nations that are around you, and have not walked in my statutes, neither have kept my ordinances, neither have followed the ordinances of the nations that are around you;
8 mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Ngai moko nakotelemela yo, Yelusalemi, mpe nakopesa yo etumbu na miso ya bikolo.
therefore the Lord GOD says: ‘Behold, I, even I, am against you; and I will execute judgments among you in the sight of the nations.
9 Likolo ya makambo nyonso ya nkele oyo osalaka, nakosala yo makambo oyo natikala nanu kosala te na tango ya kala mpe oyo nakotikala kosala te na mikolo ekoya. ›
I will do in you that which I have not done, and which I will not do anything like it any more, because of all your abominations.
10 Yango wana, kati na bino, batata bakolia bana na bango, mpe bana bakolia batata na bango. Nakopesa bino etumbu mpe nakopanza bipai nyonso bato na bino nyonso oyo bakotikala na bomoi.
Therefore the fathers will eat the sons within you, and the sons will eat their fathers. I will execute judgments on you; and I will scatter the whole remnant of you to all the winds.
11 Mpe lisusu, na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe: ‹ Lokola bokomisi Ndako na Ngai ya bule mbindo na nzela ya banzambe na bino ya bikeko mpe makambo na bino ya nkele, nakolongola Ngai moko ngolu na Ngai na likolo na bino: liso na Ngai ekotala bino lisusu na mawa te mpe nakobikisa bino lisusu te. ›
Therefore as I live,’ says the Lord GOD, ‘surely, because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your detestable things, and with all your abominations, therefore I will also diminish you. My eye will not spare, and I will have no pity.
12 Ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato ya bato na yo bakokufa na bokono oyo ebomaka to na nzala makasi kati na bamir na yo; mpe ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato mosusu bakokufa na mopanga na libanda ya bamir na yo. Bongo, nakopanza ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato mosusu, na bisika mosusu mpe nakolanda bango na mopanga.
A third part of you will die with the pestilence, and they will be consumed with famine within you. A third part will fall by the sword around you. A third part I will scatter to all the winds, and will draw out a sword after them.
13 Kanda na Ngai ekosila kaka soki bazwi etumbu mpo na mabe na bango; nakokitisela bango kanda na Ngai mpe bakoyeba ete ezali Ngai Yawe nde nalobaki na zuwa na Ngai.
“‘Thus my anger will be accomplished, and I will cause my wrath toward them to rest, and I will be comforted. They will know that I, the LORD, have spoken in my zeal, when I have accomplished my wrath on them.
14 Yo Yelusalemi, nakobebisa yo, okoyokisama soni kati na bikolo nyonso oyo ezingeli yo mpe na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bakolekela na nzela na yo.
“‘Moreover I will make you a desolation and a reproach among the nations that are around you, in the sight of all that pass by.
15 Okozala likambo ya soni, ya kotiola, ya liseki mpe ya soni makasi na miso ya bikolo oyo ezingeli yo, tango nakopesa yo etumbu na kanda mpe na kotomboka na Ngai ya makasi penza. » Ngai Yawe nde nalobi.
So it will be a reproach and a taunt, an instruction and an astonishment, to the nations that are around you, when I execute judgments on you in anger and in wrath, and in wrathful rebukes—I, the LORD, have spoken it—
16 « Tango nakobwakela yo makonga na Ngai ya mike ya nzala makasi oyo ebomaka mpe oyo ebebisaka, nakosala bongo mpo na kosilisa koboma bino: nakoyeisa nzala makasi koleka kati na yo mpe nakolongola bilei na bibombelo na yo.
when I send on them the evil arrows of famine that are for destruction, which I will send to destroy you. I will increase the famine on you and will break your staff of bread.
17 Nakotindela yo nzala makasi mpe banyama mabe mpo ete eboma bana na yo nyonso. Nakotindela yo mopanga mpe bokono ya makasi, nakosopa makila koleka kati na yo. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. »
I will send on you famine and evil animals, and they will bereave you. Pestilence and blood will pass through you. I will bring the sword on you. I, the LORD, have spoken it.’”
