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.
And thou, son of man, take unto thyself a sharp sword, a barber's razor shalt thou take for it unto thyself, and cause it to pass over thy head and over thy beard: then take unto thee balances for weighing, 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.
One third part shalt thou burn with fire in the midst of the city, when the days of the siege are completed; and thou shalt take another third part, and smite [it] round about it with the sword; and the other third part shalt thou scatter to the wind: and I will draw out a sword after the same.
3 Kasi kamata ndambo moke kaka ya suki, kanga yango na songe ya elamba na yo.
And take thence a few in number, and tie them up in the corners of thy garment.
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.
And from these again shalt thou take some, and cast them into the midst of the fire, and burn them in the fire: therefrom shall a fire go forth unto 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.
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal, This is Jerusalem, which I had set it in the midst of the nations and countries that are round about 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.
But she rebelled against my ordinances more wickedly than the nations, and against my statutes, more than the countries that are round about her; for my ordinances they have despised, 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 thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Because ye have given yourselves up to evil more than the nations that are round about you, have not walked in my statutes, and have not executed my ordinances, and not even acted according to the ordinances of the nations that are round about 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 thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I, also I am against thee, and I will execute judgments in the midst of thee before the eyes 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. ›
And I will do in thee that which I have never done, and the like of which I will never do any more, because of all thy 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 fathers shall devour their children in the midst of thee, and children shall devour their fathers: and I will execute judgments on thee, and I will scatter all thy remnant unto 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, saith the Lord Eternal, Surely, because thou hast made unclean my sanctuary with all thy detestable things, and with all thy abominations: therefore will I also diminish [thee]; and my eye shall not show pity, and I also will not spare.
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 thee shall die through the pestilence, and come through famine to their end in the midst of thee; and another third part shall fall by the sword round about thee; and the other third part will I scatter unto all the winds, and a sword will I draw out 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 shall my anger be accomplished, and I will cause my fury to rest upon them, and I will satisfy myself: and they shall know that I the Lord have spoken it in my zeal, when I have let out all my fury 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.
Yea, I will render thee a ruin, and a disgrace among the nations that are round about thee, before the eyes of every one that passeth 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.
And she shall be a disgrace and a taunt, a warning and an astonishment unto the nations that are round about thee, when I execute judgments on thee in anger and in fury and in furious chastisements, —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 out among them the dreadful arrows of famine, which [ever] were the cause of destruction, which I will send out to destroy you; and I will increase the famine upon you, and will break unto you the 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. »
So will I let loose over you famine and wild beasts, and they shall make thee childless; and pestilence and blood shall pass through thee; and the sword will I bring over thee. I the Lord have spoken it.
