Ezekiel 14
1 And come in unto me do certain of the elders of Israel, and sit before me.
Kati na bakambi ya Isalaele, ndambo bayaki epai na ngai mpe bavandaki liboso na ngai.
2 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
3 'Son of man, these men have caused their idols to go up on their heart, and the stumbling-block of their iniquity they have put over-against their faces; am I inquired of at all by them?
« Mwana na moto, bato oyo bazali kotia mitema epai ya banzambe ya bikeko. Bongo lokola bazali kotia banzambe ya bikeko liboso na bango, ekobetisa bango mabaku oyo ekokweyisa bango na masumu. Boni, natikela bango lisusu nzela ya kotuna Ngai toli?
4 'Therefore, speak with them, and thou hast said unto them: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Every one of the house of Israel who causeth his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath gone in unto the prophet — I Jehovah have given an answer to him for this, for the abundance of his idols,
Mpo na yango, loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Soki moto ya Isalaele atie motema epai ya banzambe ya bikeko oyo ekobetisa ye mabaku mpe ekokweyisa ye na masumu, bongo atie yango liboso na ye mpe akei epai ya mosakoli, Ngai moko Yawe nde nakoyanola ye kolanda motango ya banzambe na ye ya bikeko.
5 in order to catch the house of Israel by their heart, in that they have become estranged from off me by their idols — all of them.
Nakosala bongo mpo na kozongisa lisusu epai na Ngai, mitema ya bana ya Isalaele oyo batikaki Ngai mpo na kolanda banzambe ya bikeko. ›
6 'Therefore say unto the house of Israel: Thus said the Lord Jehovah: Turn ye back, yea, turn ye back from your idols, and from all your abominations turn back your faces,
Yango wana, loba na libota ya Isalaele: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Bobongola mitema! Bopesa banzambe na bino ya bikeko mikongo mpe botika misala na bino ya mbindo!
7 for every one of the house of Israel, and of the sojourners who doth sojourn in Israel, who is separated from after Me, and doth cause his idols to go up unto his heart, and the stumbling-block of his iniquity setteth over-against his face, and hath come in unto the prophet to inquire of him concerning Me, I, Jehovah, have answered him for Myself;
Soki moto moko ya Isalaele to mopaya nyonso oyo avandi kati na Isalaele akabwani na Ngai, atie motema na ye na banzambe ya bikeko mpe atie liboso na ye banzambe yango ya bikeko oyo ekobetisa ye mabaku mpe ekokweyisa ye na masumu, bongo akei epai ya mosakoli mpo na kotuna Ngai toli na nzela na ye, Ngai moko Yawe nde nakoyanola ye.
8 and I have set My face against that man, and made him for a sign, and for similes, and I have cut him off from the midst of My people, and ye have known that I [am] Jehovah.
Nakotombokela moto wana, nakokomisa ye elembo mpe lisese epai na bato mpe nakolongola ye na molongo ya bato na Ngai. Na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe.
9 'And the prophet, when he is enticed, and hath spoken a word — I, Jehovah, I have enticed that prophet, and have stretched out My hand against him, and have destroyed him from the midst of My people Israel.
Soki mosakoli moko akosami mpe asakoli makambo, ezali Ngai moko Yawe nde napengwisi ye. Boye, nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kopesa ye etumbu, mpe nakobeta ye kati na bato na Ngai, Isalaele.
10 And they have borne their iniquity: as the iniquity of the inquirer, so is the iniquity of the prophet;
Bango mibale, mosakoli yango mpe moto oyo akei kotuna ye toli, bakomema mikumba ya masumu na bango.
11 so that the house of Israel do not wander any more from after Me, nor are defiled any more with all their transgressions, and they have been to Me for a people, and I am to them for God — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Na bongo, bato ya Isalaele bakokabwana na Ngai lisusu te mpe bakomikomisa lisusu mbindo te na nzela ya masumu na bango; kasi bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai, nakozala Nzambe na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
12 And there is a word of Jehovah unto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
13 'Son of man, the land — when it sinneth against Me to commit a trespass, and I have stretched out My hand against it, and broken for it the staff of bread, and sent into it famine, and cut off from it man and beast —
« Mwana na moto, soki bato ya ekolo moko basali masumu liboso na Ngai mpe batamboli na boyengebene te, bongo Ngai nasemboli loboko na Ngai mpo na kopimela bango bilei mpe kotindela bango nzala makasi mpo ete ezala bato to banyama bakufa,
14 and these three men have been in its midst, Noah, Daniel, and Job — they by their righteousness deliver their own soul — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.
ata soki bato misato oyo, ‹ Noa, Daniele mpe Yobo, › bazalaki kati na bavandi ya ekolo yango, bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika mpo na bosembo na bango, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
15 'If an evil beast I cause to pass through the land, and it hath bereaved, and it hath been a desolation, without any passing through because of the beast —
To soki natindi banyama mabe kati na ekolo yango mpo ete eboma bavandi na yango, mpe mpo ete ekolo yango etikala lisusu na bato te mpe bato balekela lisusu wana te mpo na banyama mabe yango;
16 these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither sons nor daughters do they deliver; they alone are delivered, and the land is a desolation.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki bato oyo misato bazalaki kuna, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika, kasi ekolo elingaki kotikala lisusu na bato te.
17 'Or — a sword I bring in against that land, and I have said: Sword, thou dost pass over through the land, and I have cut off from it man and beast —
To soki natindi mopanga ete eboma bato ya ekolo wana mpe nalobi: ‹ Tika ete mopanga eleka na mokili mobimba! › Soki nabomi bato mpe bibwele na yango;
18 and these three men in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — they deliver not sons and daughters, for they alone are delivered.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki bato oyo misato bazalaki kuna, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika.
19 'Or — pestilence I send unto that land, and I have poured out My fury against it in blood, to cut off from it man and beast —
To soki natindi kati na mokili yango bokono oyo ebomaka mpe nasopeli yango kanda na Ngai mpo na kosopa makila, koboma bato mpe bibwele ya mokili yango;
20 and Noah, Daniel, and Job, in its midst: I live — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah — neither son nor daughter do they deliver; they, by their righteousness, deliver their own soul.
na Kombo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe, ata soki Noa, Daniele mpe Yobo bazalaki kati na bavandi na yango, balingaki kokoka te kobikisa ata mwana moko ya mobali to ya mwasi; bango misato kaka nde balingaki kobika mpo na bosembo na bango.
21 'For thus said the Lord Jehovah: Although My four sore judgments — sword, and famine, and wild beast, and pestilence — I have sent unto Jerusalem, to cut off from it man and beast,
Kasi tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Atako natindeli Yelusalemi bitumbu na Ngai oyo minei ya somo: mopanga, nzala makasi, banyama mabe mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, mpo na kosilisa koboma bato mpe bibwele na yango,
22 yet, lo, there hath been left in it an escape, who are brought forth, sons and daughters, lo, they are coming forth unto you, and ye have seen their way, and their doings, and have been comforted concerning the evil that I have brought in against Jerusalem, all that which I have brought in against it.
ekozala na ndambo ya bato oyo bakobika: bana mibali mpe ya basi. Bakoya epai na bino; mpe tango bokomona bizaleli mpe misala na bango, bokobondisama mpo na pasi oyo natindelaki Yelusalemi, mpo na bitumbu nyonso oyo natindelaki yango.
23 And they have comforted you, for ye see their way and their doings, and ye have known that not for nought have I done all that which I have done in her — an affirmation of the Lord Jehovah.'
Solo, bokobondisama tango bokomona bizaleli mpe misala na bango; pamba te bokososola ete ezali na pamba te nde nasalaki makambo oyo nyonso kati na Yelusalemi, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
