Ezekieli 9
1 Bongo nayokaki ye kobelela na mongongo makasi: « Bopusana awa, bino oyo bozali na mokumba ya kobebisa engumba! Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino asimba ebundeli na ye na loboko! »
And he called before my ears with a loud voice, saying, Let those come near that have charge to punish the city, and every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2 Namonaki bato motoba koya wuta na nzela ya Ekuke oyo ya likolo, oyo etala na ngambo ya nor; moko na moko kati na bango asimbaki ebundeli oyo ebomaka na loboko na ye. Kati na bango, ezalaki na moto moko oyo alataki bilamba ya lino mpe azalaki na ekomeli na loketo na ye. Bakotaki na kati mpe batelemaki pene ya etumbelo ya bronze.
And, behold, six men came from the direction of the upper gate, which is turned toward the north, and every man with his weapon of destruction in his hand; and one man in the midst of them was clothed in linen, with a writer's materials by his side: and they went in, and placed themselves beside the copper altar.
3 Nkembo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele elongwaki na likolo ya basheribe epai wapi ezalaki kowumela mpe ekendeki kino na ekotelo ya Tempelo; mpe Yawe abengisaki moto oyo alataki bilamba ya lino mpe azalaki na ekomeli na loketo na ye.
And the glory of the God of Israel ascended up from the cherub, whereupon it had been, to the threshold of the house. And he called to the man clothed in linen, who had the writer's materials by his side.
4 Yawe alobaki na ye: « Tambola kati na Yelusalemi mpe tia bilembo na bilongi ya bato oyo bazali komona pasi na mitema mpe bazali kolela likolo ya makambo nyonso ya nkele oyo ezali kosalema kati na engumba oyo. »
And the Lord said unto him, Pass through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, and inscribe a mark upon the foreheads of the men who sigh and who complain because of all the abominations which are done in the midst of it.
5 Wana nazalaki nanu koyoka, alobaki na bato mosusu: « Bolanda ye kati na engumba mpe boboma bato na mawa te, bobikisa ata moto moko te!
And to the others he said before my ears, Pass ye through the city after him, and smite: let your eye not look with pity, and do not spare;
6 Boboma bampaka, bilenge, basali ya mibali, basali ya basi mpe bana mike; kasi bomeka kosimba te moto nyonso oyo azali na elembo na elongi. Bobanda na Esika na Ngai ya bule! » Boye babandaki na bampaka oyo bazalaki liboso ya Tempelo.
The aged, youth, and virgin, and little children, and women shall ye slay and destroy; but come not near any man upon whom the mark is; and at my sanctuary shall ye begin. Then they began with the ancient men who were before the house.
7 Alobaki na bango: « Bokomisa Tempelo mbindo mpe botondisa mapango na yango na bibembe. Bokende! » Babimaki mpe bakendeki koboma bato kati na engumba.
And he said unto them, Make unclean the house, and fill the courts with the slain: go forth. And they went forth, and they smote in the city.
8 Tango bazalaki koboma bato, natikalaki ngai moko; nakweyaki elongi na ngai kino na mabele mpe nakomaki koganga: — Oh, Nkolo Yawe! Okosilisa solo koboma batikali nyonso ya Isalaele, na kopelisela Yelusalemi kanda na Yo?
And it came to pass, while they were smiting them, and I alone was left, that I fell upon my face, and cried out, and said, Ah Lord Eternal! wilt thou destroy all the residue of Israel when thou pourest out thy fury over Jerusalem?
9 Azongiselaki ngai: — Lisumu ya libota ya Isalaele mpe libota ya Yuda eleki monene makasi penza. Mokili etondi na makila, mpe engumba etondi na kozanga bosembo; pamba te bazali koloba: « Yawe asundoli mokili; Yawe azali komona eloko moko te. »
Then said he unto me, The iniquity of the house of Israel and of Judah is exceedingly great, and the land is full of blood-guiltiness, and the city full of injustice; for they have said, The Lord hath forsaken the land, and the Lord seeth not.
10 Yango wana, Ngai mpe nakotala bango na liso ya mawa te mpe nakobikisa bango te. Kasi nakotanga mabe na bango na mito na bango.
And as for me also, my eye shall not look with pity, and I will not spare; but I will bring their course upon their own head.
11 Moto oyo alataki elamba ya lino mpe azalaki na ekomeli na loketo na ye apesaki sango, na maloba oyo: « Nasali makambo oyo otindaki ngai. »
And, behold, the man clothed in linen, who had the writing materials by his side, brought back word, saying, I have done according to all that thou hast commanded me.
