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! »
Then cried he in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Draw near ye that have charge of the city, -even every man with his weapon of destruction 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 lo! six men coming in out of the way of the upper gate which looketh toward the north even every man with his destructive weapon in his hand, and one man in their midst clothed with linen, having a scribe’s ink holder by his side, —so they came in and stood beside the altar of bronze.
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 lifted itself up from off the cherub whereon it had been, unto the threshold of the house, —and he called unto the man clothed with linen, who had the scribe’s ink holder 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. »
Then said Yahweh unto him. Pass along through the midst of the city, through the midst of Jerusalem, —and set thou a mark upon the foreheads of the men who are sighing and crying over all the abominations that are being done in her midst.
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!
But unto these, said he in mine ears, Pass along through the city after him and smite, —let not your eye, shield, neither have ye pity:
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.
elder, young man and virgin and little ones and women, shall ye slay utterly, but unto any man who hath upon him the mark, do not ye come near, and at my sanctuary, shall ye begin. So they began with the elder 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 Defile ye the house and fill the courts with the slain, —go ye forth! So they went forth and 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—I being left remaining, that I fell upon my face and made outcry, and said Alas! My Lord. Yahweh art thou about to destroy all the remnant of Israel, in that thou art pouring out of thine indignation upon 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. »
And he said unto me the iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah, is exceeding, great, and the land is filled with shed blood, and the city is full of over-reaching, —for they have said. Yahweh hath forsaken the land, — and Yahweh doth not see.
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.
Therefore as for even me, Mine eye shall not shield. Neither will I pity, — Their way upon their own head, have I rendered.
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 lo! the man clothed in linen, having the ink-holder by his side, bringing back word saying, — I have done according to all which thou didst command me.
