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 he cried in my hearing with a loud voice, and said, “Let the guards come up to the city, each 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.
Then behold! Six men came from the pathway of the upper gate that faces north, each with his weapon of slaughter in his hand. There was a man in their midst dressed in linen with a scribe's equipment at his side. So they went in and stood beside the bronze 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.
Then the glory of the God of Israel went up from the cherubim where it had been to the threshold of the house. He called to the man dressed in linen who had the scribe's equipment at 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. »
Yahweh said to him, “Pass through the midst of the city—the midst of Jerusalem—and make a mark on the foreheads of those who groan and sigh about all the abominations being performed in the midst of the city.”
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!
Then he spoke to the others within my hearing, “Pass through the city after him and kill. Do not let your eyes have compassion, 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.
either old man, young man, virgin, little children or women. Kill all of them! But do not approach anyone who has the mark on his head. Begin at my sanctuary!” So they began with the elders who were in front of 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.
He said to them, “Defile the house, and fill its courtyards with the dead. Proceed!” So they went out and attacked 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?
As they were attacking it, I found myself alone and I fell on my face and cried out and said, “Ah, Lord Yahweh, will you destroy all the remnant of Israel in the outpouring of your wrath on 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. »
He said to me, “The iniquity of the house of Israel and Judah is exceedingly great. The land is full of blood and the city full of perversions, since they say, 'Yahweh has forgotten the land,' and 'Yahweh does 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.
So then, my eye will not look with compassion, and I will not spare them. I will instead bring it all on their heads.”
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. »
Behold! The man dressed in linen who had the scribe's equipment by his side came back. He reported and said, “I have done all that you have commanded.”
