Ezekieli 5

1 Sik’oyo, mwana na moto, kamata mopanga ya minu mpe salela yango lokola jileti mpo na kokata suki ya moto mpe mandefu na yo; kamata lisusu emekelo kilo mpe kabola suki yango na maboke.

“Then you, son of man, take a sharp sword as a barber's razor for yourself, and pass the razor over your head and your beard, then take scales to weigh and divide your hair.

2 Tango mikolo ya etumbu na yo ekosila, okotumba na moto kati na engumba ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato; okokamata ndambo moko mosusu kati na bandambo misato, okobeta-beta yango na mopanga zingazinga ya engumba, mpe okopanza ndambo moko mosusu kati na bandambo misato na mopepe, mpe Ngai nakolanda bango na mopanga.

Burn a third of it with fire in the midst of the city when the days of the siege are completed, and take a third of the hair and strike it with the sword all around the city. Then scatter a third of it to the wind, and I will draw out a sword to chase after the people.

3 Kasi kamata ndambo moke kaka ya suki, kanga yango na songe ya elamba na yo.

But take a small number of hairs from them and tie them into the folds of your robe.

4 Bongo, na oyo ekotikala, bwaka ndambo na yango na moto mpo ete ezika. Boye, moto oyo ekobima kuna ekopanzana na libota mobimba ya Isalaele.

Then take more of the hair and throw it into the midst of the fire; and burn it in the fire; from there a fire will go out to all the house of Israel.”

5 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Tala Yelusalemi! Natiaki yango na kati-kati ya bikolo, mpe bamboka minene ezingelaki yango.

The Lord Yahweh says this, “This is Jerusalem in the midst of the nations, where I have placed her, and where I have surrounded her with other lands.

6 Kasi likolo ya mitema mabe ya bato na yango, batombokelaki mibeko na Ngai mpe balandaki bikateli na Ngai te; basalaki mabe koleka bikolo mpe bamboka ya zingazinga, pamba te batiolaki mibeko na Ngai, batambolaki te kolanda mitindo na Ngai.

But she has in wickedness rejected my decrees more than the nations have, and my statutes more than the countries that surround her. The people have rejected my judgments and have not walked in my statutes.”

7 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola botambolaki na botomboki koleka bikolo oyo ezali zingazinga na bino, bolandaki mibeko mpe bikateli na Ngai te mpe bolandaki ata kutu bosembo ya bamboka oyo ezingelaki bino te;

Therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Because you are more troublesome than the nations that surround you and have not walked in my statutes or acted according to my decrees, or even acted according to the decrees of the nations that surround you,”

8 mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: ‹ Ngai moko nakotelemela yo, Yelusalemi, mpe nakopesa yo etumbu na miso ya bikolo.

therefore the Lord Yahweh says this, “Behold! I myself will act against you. I will execute judgments within your midst for the nations to see.

9 Likolo ya makambo nyonso ya nkele oyo osalaka, nakosala yo makambo oyo natikala nanu kosala te na tango ya kala mpe oyo nakotikala kosala te na mikolo ekoya. ›

I will do to you what I have not done and the like of which I will not do again, because of all your disgusting actions.

10 Yango wana, kati na bino, batata bakolia bana na bango, mpe bana bakolia batata na bango. Nakopesa bino etumbu mpe nakopanza bipai nyonso bato na bino nyonso oyo bakotikala na bomoi.

Therefore fathers will eat the children in your midst, and sons will eat their fathers, since I will execute judgment on you and scatter to every direction all of you who are left.

11 Mpe lisusu, na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe: ‹ Lokola bokomisi Ndako na Ngai ya bule mbindo na nzela ya banzambe na bino ya bikeko mpe makambo na bino ya nkele, nakolongola Ngai moko ngolu na Ngai na likolo na bino: liso na Ngai ekotala bino lisusu na mawa te mpe nakobikisa bino lisusu te. ›

Therefore, as I live—this is the Lord Yahweh's declaration—it is certainly because you have defiled my sanctuary with all your hateful things and with all your disgusting deeds, that I myself will reduce you in number; my eye will not have pity on you, and I will not spare you.

12 Ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato ya bato na yo bakokufa na bokono oyo ebomaka to na nzala makasi kati na bamir na yo; mpe ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato mosusu bakokufa na mopanga na libanda ya bamir na yo. Bongo, nakopanza ndambo moko kati na bandambo misato mosusu, na bisika mosusu mpe nakolanda bango na mopanga.

A third of you will die by plague, and they will be consumed by famine in your midst. A third will fall by the sword surrounding you. Then I will scatter a third in every direction, and draw out a sword to chase after them as well.

13 Kanda na Ngai ekosila kaka soki bazwi etumbu mpo na mabe na bango; nakokitisela bango kanda na Ngai mpe bakoyeba ete ezali Ngai Yawe nde nalobaki na zuwa na Ngai.

Then my wrath will be completed, and I will cause my fury toward them to rest. I will be satisfied, and they will know that I, Yahweh, have spoken in my wrath when I have completed my fury against them.

14 Yo Yelusalemi, nakobebisa yo, okoyokisama soni kati na bikolo nyonso oyo ezingeli yo mpe na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bakolekela na nzela na yo.

I will make you a desolation and a reproach to the nations that surround you in the sight of everyone who passes by.

15 Okozala likambo ya soni, ya kotiola, ya liseki mpe ya soni makasi na miso ya bikolo oyo ezingeli yo, tango nakopesa yo etumbu na kanda mpe na kotomboka na Ngai ya makasi penza. » Ngai Yawe nde nalobi.

So Jerusalem will become something for other people to condemn and to mock, a warning and a horror to the nations that surround you. I will execute judgments against you in wrath and fury, and with a furious rebuke—I, Yahweh have declared this!

16 « Tango nakobwakela yo makonga na Ngai ya mike ya nzala makasi oyo ebomaka mpe oyo ebebisaka, nakosala bongo mpo na kosilisa koboma bino: nakoyeisa nzala makasi koleka kati na yo mpe nakolongola bilei na bibombelo na yo.

I will send out harsh arrows of famine against you that will become the means with which I will destroy you. For I will increase the famine on you and break your staff of bread.

17 Nakotindela yo nzala makasi mpe banyama mabe mpo ete eboma bana na yo nyonso. Nakotindela yo mopanga mpe bokono ya makasi, nakosopa makila koleka kati na yo. Ngai Yawe nde nalobi. »

I will send a famine and disasters against you so you will be childless. Plague and blood will pass through you, and I will bring a sword against you—I, Yahweh, have declared this.”
