Ezekiel 1
1 Now it came to pass in the thirtieth year, in the fourth month, on the fifth day of the month, when I was in the midst of the captives by the river Chobar, the heavens were opened, and I saw the visions of God.
Ezalaki mokolo moko, mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya minei, na mobu ya tuku misato, wana nazalaki pembeni ya ebale Kebari kati na bato oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, likolo efungwamaki mpe namonaki bimoniseli ya Nzambe.
2 On the fifth day of the month, the same was the fifth year of the captivity of king Joachin,
Kaka na mokolo ya mitano ya sanza ya mobu wana, elingi koloba mobu ya mitano ya bowumbu ya mokonzi Yeoyakini,
3 The word of the Lord came to Ezechiel the priest the son of Bud in the land of the Chaldeans, by the river Chobar: and the hand of the Lord was there upon him.
Yawe alobaki na Ezekieli, mwana mobali ya Nganga-Nzambe Buzi, pembeni ya ebale Kebari, kati na mokili ya bato ya Babiloni. Kuna, loboko na Yawe ezalaki likolo na ye.
4 And I saw, and behold a whirlwind came out of the north: and a great cloud, and a fire infolding it, and brightness was about it: and out of the midst thereof, that is, out of the midst of the fire, as it were the resemblance of amber:
Tango natalaki, namonaki mopepe moko ya makasi kowuta na ngambo ya nor; bongo mopepe yango ezalaki komema mapata minene nzela moko na mikalikali ya kongenga makasi, mpe kati na yango ezalaki kongenga lokola ebende kati na moto.
5 And in the midst thereof the likeness of four living creatures: and this was their appearance: there was the likeness of a man in them.
Na kati-kati na yango, namonaki biloko moko lokola bikelamu minei ya bomoi oyo ezalaki na lolenge ya moto.
6 Every one had four faces, and every one four wings.
Moko na moko kati na yango ezalaki na bilongi minei mpe mapapu minei.
7 Their feet were straight feet, and the sole of their foot was like the sole of a calf’s foot, and they sparkled like the appearance of glowing brass.
Makolo na yango ezalaki esembolama, matambe na yango ezalaki lokola matambe ya mwana ngombe ya mobali mpe ezalaki kongenga lokola bronze oyo bapetola na moto.
8 And they had the hands of a man under their wings on their four sides: and they bad faces, and wings on the four sides,
Na se ya mapapu na yango, na bangambo na yango minei, ezalaki na maboko minei lokola maboko ya bato; mpe bikelamu nyonso minei ya bomoi ezalaki na bilongi mpe na mapapu na yango.
9 And the wings of one were joined to the wings of another. They turned not when they went: but every one went straight forward.
Mapapu na yango ezalaki kotutana moko na mosusu. Ekelamu moko na moko ezalaki kokende etala kaka na liboso mpe ezalaki kotala na sima te.
10 And as for the likeness of their faces: there was the face of a man, and the face of a lion on the right side of all the four: and the face of an ox, on the left side of all the four: and the face of an eagle over all the four.
Tala ndenge bilongi na yango ezalaki: ekelamu moko na moko kati na nyonso minei ezalaki na elongi lokola ya moto (na liboso): elongi lokola ya nkosi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, elongi lokola ya ngombe ya mobali na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi mpe elongi lokola ya mpongo (na sima).
11 And their faces, and their wings were stretched upward: two wings of every one were joined, and two covered their bodies:
Bilongi na yango ezalaki nde bongo. Mapapu na yango ezalaki efungwama na likolo; ekelamu moko na moko ezalaki na mapapu mibale: lipapu moko ezalaki kotutana na lipapu moko ya ekelamu mosusu; mpe mapapu mibale ezalaki kobomba nzoto na yango.
12 And every one of them went straight forward: whither the impulse of the spirit was to go, thither they went: and they turned not when they went.
Moko na moko ezalaki kokende kaka liboso; ezalaki kokende bisika nyonso oyo Molimo azalaki kokamba yango mpe ezalaki kokende epai mosusu te.
13 And as for the likeness of the living creatures, their appearance was like that of burning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps. This was the vision running to and fro in the midst of the living creatures, a bright fire, and lightning going forth from the fire.
Bikelamu yango ya bomoi ezalaki lokola makala ya moto to lokola koni oyo ezali kopela moto. Moto ezalaki kotambola-tambola kati na bikelamu yango, ezalaki kongenga mpe mikalikali ezalaki kobima kati na yango.
14 And the living creatures ran and returned like flashes of lightning.
Bikelamu yango ezalaki kokende mpe kozonga lokola mikalikali.
15 Now as I beheld the living creatures, there appeared upon the earth by the living creatures one wheel with four faces.
Tango nazalaki kotala bikelamu yango, namonaki pine moko na mabele, pembeni ya ekelamu ya bomoi moko na moko, liboso ya bilongi na yango minei.
16 And the appearance of the wheels, and the work of them was like the appearance of the sea: and the four had all one likeness: and their appearance and their work was as it were a wheel in the midst of a wheel.
Tala ndenge bapine yango ezalaki mpe ndenge basala yango: ezalaki kongenga lokola libanga ya Krizolite mpe nyonso minei ezalaki ekokana; bongo na ndenge basala yango, ezalaki lokola moko kati na mosusu.
17 When they went, they went by their four parts: and they turned not when they went.
Tango ekelamu moko na moko ezalaki kotambola, ezalaki kokende na ngambo oyo moko ya bilongi na yango ekotala, kati na bangambo na yango minei; ezalaki kobaluka na ngambo mosusu te mpe bapine na yango ezalaki kotengama te soki bikelamu yango ezali kotambola.
18 The wheels had also a size, and a height, and a dreadful appearance: and the whole body was full of eyes round about all the four.
Bajante ya bapine na yango ezalaki minene mpe somo: nyonso minei ezalaki etonda na miso zingazinga na yango.
19 And when the living creatures went, the wheels also went together by them: and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up with them.
Tango bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kotambola, bapine mpe ezalaki kotambola pembeni na yango; kasi soki epumbwe longwa na se, bapine mpe ezalaki kopumbwa.
20 Whithersoever the spirit went, thither as the spirit went the wheels also were lifted up withal, and followed it: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Esika nyonso Molimo azalaki kokende, bikelamu yango mpe ezalaki kokende; bongo bapine mpe ezalaki komata elongo na yango, pamba te molimo ya bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kati na bapine.
21 When those went these went, and when those stood these stood, and when those were lifted up from the earth, the wheels also were lifted up together, and followed them: for the spirit of life was in the wheels.
Tango bikelamu yango ezalaki kotambola, yango mpe ezalaki kotambola; soki etelemi, yango mpe ezalaki kotelema; soki epumbwe, yango mpe ezalaki kopumbwa elongo na bikelamu yango, pamba te molimo ya bikelamu ya bomoi ezalaki kati na bapine.
22 And over the heads of the living creatures was the likeness of the firmament, as the appearance of crystal terrible to behold, and stretched out over their heads above.
Likolo ya mito ya bikelamu yango ya bomoi ezalaki na eloko moko lokola mapata ya likolo, oyo ezalaki kongenga makasi lokola libanga ya talo oyo ya krisitali.
23 And under the firmament were their wings straight, the one toward the other, every one with two wings covered his body, and the other was covered in like manner.
Na se ya mapata yango, mapapu na yango ezalaki esembolama mpe etutana na mapapu ya baninga na yango; mpe moko na moko kati na bikelamu yango ezalaki na mapapu mibale oyo ezalaki kobomba nzoto na yango.
24 And I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of many waters, as it were the voice of the most high God: when they walked, it was like the voice of a multitude, like the noise of an army, and when they stood, their wings were let down.
Tango bikelamu yango ezalaki kotambola, nazalaki koyoka makelele ya mapapu na yango lokola makelele ya bambonge ya ebale monene to lokola mongongo ya Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso to lokola lokito ya mampinga. Tango ezalaki kotelema, ezalaki kokitisa mapapu na yango.
25 For when a voice came from above the firmament, that was over their heads, they stood, and let down their wings.
Na likolo ya mito na yango, mongongo moko ezalaki koyokana wuta na likolo ya mapata oyo ezalaki; tango ezalaki kotelema, ezalaki mpe kokitisa mapapu na yango.
26 And above the firmament that was over their heads, was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of the sapphire stone, and upon the likeness of the throne, was a likeness as of the appearance of a man above upon it.
Boye, na likolo ya mapata oyo ezalaki na likolo ya mito na yango, ezalaki na eloko moko lokola libanga ya talo ya langi ya bule mpe lokola kiti ya bokonzi basala na safiri; mpe na likolo ya kiti ya bokonzi yango, ezalaki na elilingi moko oyo ezalaki lokola moto.
27 And I saw as it were the resemblance of amber as the appearance of fire within it round about: from his loins and upward, and from his loins downward, I saw as it were the resemblance of fire shining round about.
Namonaki lisusu ete likolo ya loketo na yango ezalaki kongenga lokola linzanza, zingazinga na yango ezalaki lokola moto, se ya loketo na yango ezalaki lokola moto; mpe mikalikali ya makasi ezingelaki yango.
28 As the appearance of the rainbow when it is in a cloud on a rainy day: this was the appearance of the brightness round about.
Kongenga oyo ezingelaki yango ezalaki lokola monama na mapata na mokolo ya mvula; elilingi yango ezalaki lokola nkembo na Yawe. Tango namonaki yango, nakweyaki, elongi na ngai kino na mabele, mpe nayokaki mongongo ya moto moko koloba na ngai.
