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.
It happened in the sixth year, in the sixth month, in the fifth day of the month, as I sat in my house, and the elders of Judah sat before me, that the hand of the LORD fell there 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.
Then I saw, and look, a likeness as the appearance of a man; from the appearance of his waist and downward, fire; and from his waist and upward, as the appearance of brightness, as it were glowing metal.
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.
He put forth the form of a hand, and took me by a lock of my head; and the Spirit lifted me up between earth and the sky, and brought me in the visions of God to Jerusalem, to the door of the gate of the inner court that looks toward the north; where there was the seat of the image of jealousy, which provokes to jealousy.
4 Nkembo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele ezalaki kuna ndenge kaka namonaki yango na emoniseli kati na lubwaku.
Look, the glory of the God of Israel was there, according to the appearance that I saw in the plain.
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.
Then he said to me, "Son of man, lift up your eyes now the way toward the north." So I lifted up my eyes the way toward the north, and see, northward of the gate of the altar this image of jealousy in the entry.
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. »
He said to me, "Son of man, do you see what they do? Even the great abominations that the house of Israel do commit here, that I should go far off from my sanctuary? But you shall again see yet other great abominations."
7 Amemaki ngai na ekotelo ya lopango. Tango natalaki, namonaki lidusu moko na mir.
He brought me to the door of the court; and when I looked, look, a hole in the wall.
8 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, tobola mir. » Tango natobolaki yango, namonaki ekuke moko kuna.
Then he said to me, "Son of man, dig now in the wall": and when I had dug in the wall, look, a door.
9 Alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Kota; okomona makambo mabe mpe ya nkele oyo bazali kosala awa! »
He said to me, "Go in, and see the wicked abominations that they do 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.
So I went in and saw; and see, every form of crawling creatures, and abominable animals, and all the idols of the house of Israel, portrayed around on the wall.
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.
There stood before them seventy men of the elders of the house of Israel; and in their midst stood Jaazaniah the son of Shaphan, every man with his censer in his hand; and the odor of the cloud of incense went 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! › »
Then he said to me, "Son of man, have you seen what the elders of the house of Israel do in the dark, every man in his rooms of imagery? For they say, 'The LORD doesn't see us. The LORD has forsaken the land.'"
13 Alobaki lisusu: « Okomona bango ndenge bazali kosala makambo ya mbindo oyo eleki penza mabe. »
He said also to me, "You shall again see yet other great abominations which they do."
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.
Then he brought me to the door of the gate of the LORD's house which was toward the north; and see, there sat the women weeping for Tammuz.
15 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na moto, omoni makambo oyo? Okomona lisusu makambo ya mbindo koleka oyo ya liboso. »
Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? You shall again see yet 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.
He brought me into the inner court of the LORD's house; and see, at the door of the LORD's temple, between the porch and the altar, were about twenty-five men, with their backs toward the LORD's temple, and their faces toward the east; and they were worshipping the sun toward the east.
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!
Then he said to me, "Have you seen this, son of man? Is it a light thing to the house of Judah that they commit the abominations which they commit here? For they have filled the land with violence, and have turned again to provoke me to anger: and look, they put 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. »
therefore I will also deal in wrath; my eye shall not spare, neither will I have pity; and though they cry in my ears with a loud voice, yet will I not hear them."
