Ezekieli 8
1 Na mobu ya motoba, na mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya motoba, wana nazalaki ya kovanda kati na ndako na ngai, mpe bakambi ya Yuda bavandaki liboso na ngai, loboko ya Nkolo Yawe esimbaki ngai kuna.
And it comes to pass, in the sixth year, in the sixth [month], on the fifth of the month, I am sitting in my house, and [the] elderly of Judah are sitting before me, and there a hand of Lord YHWH falls on me,
2 Tango natalaki, namonaki elilingi moko lokola elongi ya moto. Eteni oyo ezalaki komonana lokola se ya loketo na yango ezalaki lokola moto, mpe lolenge ya eteni oyo ezalaki komonana lokola likolo ya loketo na yango ezalaki kongenga makasi lokola linzanza ya sika.
and I look, and behold, a likeness as the appearance of fire, from the appearance of His loins and downward—fire, and from His loins and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as the color of electrum.
3 Asembolaki elilingi moko lokola loboko mpe asimbaki ngai na suki ya moto. Molimo atombolaki ngai na kati-kati ya se mpe likolo mpe amemaki ngai, kati na emoniseli ya Nzambe, kino na Yelusalemi, na ekotelo ya Ekuke ya nor ya lopango ya kati ya Tempelo, epai wapi batelemisaki nzambe ya ekeko oyo etumbolaka zuwa.
And He puts forth a form of a hand, and takes me by a lock of my head, and [the] Spirit lifts me up between the earth and the heavens, and brings me to Jerusalem in visions of God, to the opening of the inner gate that is facing the north, where the seat of the figure of jealousy [is] that is making jealous,
4 Nkembo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele ezalaki kuna ndenge kaka namonaki yango na emoniseli kati na lubwaku.
and behold, there the glory of the God of Israel [is] as the appearance that I saw in the valley.
5 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tala na ngambo ya nor. » Natombolaki miso na ngai mpe namonaki nzambe ya ekeko ya zuwa, na ekotelo ya Ekuke oyo ya nor ya etumbelo.
And He says to me, “Son of man, now lift up your eyes [toward] the way of the north.” And I lift up my eyes [toward] the way of the north, and behold, on the north of the gate of the altar [is] this figure of jealousy, at the entrance.
6 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, ozali komona makambo oyo bazali kosala, makambo mabe mpe ya nkele oyo libota ya Isalaele bazali kosala awa, makambo oyo ekokomisa Ngai mosika ya Esika na Ngai ya bule? Kasi okomona lisusu makambo oyo ezali mabe koleka. »
And He says to me, “Son of man, are you seeing what they are doing? The great abominations that the house of Israel is doing here, to keep far off from My sanctuary; and turn again, [and] see great abominations.”
7 Amemaki ngai na ekotelo ya lopango. Tango natalaki, namonaki lidusu moko na mir.
And He brings me to an opening of the court, and I look, and behold, a hole in the wall;
8 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tobola mir. » Tango natobolaki yango, namonaki ekuke moko kuna.
and He says to me, “Son of man, now dig through the wall”; and I dig through the wall, and behold, an opening.
9 Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Kota; okomona makambo mabe mpe ya nkele oyo bazali kosala awa! »
And He says to me, “Go in, and see the evil abominations that they are doing here.”
10 Tango nakotaki, natalaki mpe namonaki ete bakomakoma na bamir bililingi ya miselekete mpe ya banyoka ya lolenge nyonso, ya banyama nyonso ya mbindo mpe ya banzambe nyonso ya bikeko ya libota ya Isalaele.
And I go in, and look, and behold, every form of creeping thing, and detestable beast—and all the idols of the house of Israel—carved on the wall, all around,
11 Bongo, liboso na yango, bakambi tuku sambo ya libota ya Isalaele batelemaki; mpe moko na moko kati na bango asimbaki mbabola oyo batumbelaka malasi: ezalaki kobimisa milinga ya solo ya ansa. Yazania, mwana mobali ya Shafani, azalaki mpe elongo na bango.
and seventy men from [the] elderly of the house of Israel—and Jaazaniah son of Shaphan standing in their midst—are standing before them, and each [with] his censer in his hand, and [the] abundance of [the] cloud of the incense is going up.
12 Molimo alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, omoni makambo oyo bakambi ya libota ya Isalaele bazali kosala, moko na moko kati na esika ya bule ya nzambe na ye ya ekeko? Bazali koloba: ‹ Yawe azali komona biso te, Yawe asili na Ye kosundola mokili! › »
And He says to me, “Have you seen, son of man, that which elderly of the house of Israel are doing in the darkness, each in [the] inner chambers of his imagery, for they are saying, YHWH is not seeing us, YHWH has forsaken the land?”
13 Alobaki lisusu: « Okomona bango ndenge bazali kosala makambo ya mbindo oyo eleki penza mabe. »
And He says to me, “Turn again, [and] see [the] great abominations that they are doing.”
14 Bongo amemaki ngai lisusu na ekotelo ya Ekuke ya ngambo ya nor ya Tempelo ya Yawe; bongo namonaki basi bavandi wana, bazali kolela Tamuzi.
And He brings me to the opening of the gate of the house of YHWH that [is] at the north, and behold, there the women are sitting, weeping for Tammuz.
15 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, omoni makambo oyo? Okomona lisusu makambo ya mbindo koleka oyo ya liboso. »
And He says to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Turn again, [and] see greater abominations than these.”
16 Akotisaki ngai kati na lopango ya kati ya Tempelo ya Yawe: na ekotelo ya Tempelo, bato tuku mibale na mitano bazalaki na kati-kati ya ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo mpe etumbelo; bapesaki mikongo na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bilongi na bango ezalaki kotala na ngambo ya este; bazalaki kogumbama na kotalaka na ngambo ya este mpo na kogumbamela moyi.
And He brings me into the inner court of the house of YHWH, and behold, at the opening of the temple of YHWH, between the porch and the altar, about twenty-five men, their backs toward the temple of YHWH, and their faces eastward, and they are bowing themselves eastward to the sun.
17 Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Mwana na moto, omoni? Boni, ezali penza pamba mpo na libota ya Yuda kosala makambo ya nkele oyo bazali kosala na esika oyo? Batondisa lisusu mokili na makambo na bango ya kanza mpo na kokoba kotumbola kanda na Ngai? Tala ndenge bazali kotombola mandalala kino na zolo!
And He says to me, “Have you seen, son of man? Has it been a light thing to the house of Judah to do the abomination that they have done here, that they have filled the land with violence, and turn back to provoke Me to anger? And behold, they are putting forth the branch to their nose!
18 Mpo na yango, Ngai mpe nakopesa bango etumbu na kanda, nakoyokela bango mawa te mpe nakobikisa bango te. Ata bagangi na matoyi na Ngai, nakoyoka bango te. »
And I also deal in fury, My eye does not pity, nor do I spare, and they have cried [with] a loud voice in My ears and I do not hear them.”
