Ezekieli 4

1 « Sik’oyo mwana na moto, kamata biliki ya kotumba, tia yango liboso na yo mpe koma na likolo na yango elilingi ya engumba Yelusalemi.

"You also, son of man, take a tile, and lay it before yourself, and portray on it a city, even Jerusalem:

2 Sala yango lokola engumba oyo bazingela, oyo batonga mabulu ya kobombamela zingazinga na yango mpe oyo batelemisa bamir ya zelo mpo na kobombama, engumba oyo batonga milako zingazinga na yango, mpe telemisa bakonzi ya basoda oyo babongami mpo na kobundisa yango na zingazinga.

and lay siege against it, and build forts against it, and cast up a mound against it; set camps also against it, and plant battering rams against it all around.

3 Kamata eteni ya linzanza, tia yango lokola mir ya ebende na kati-kati na yo mpe elilingi ya engumba oyo osili kokoma, mpe tika ete miso na yo etala yango. Bakozingela engumba yango ndenge kaka yo osili kozingela yango. Yango nde ekozala elembo mpo na libota ya Isalaele.

Take for yourself an iron pan, and set it for a wall of iron between you and the city: and set your face toward it, and it shall be besieged, and you shall lay siege against it. This shall be a sign to the house of Israel.

4 Bongo yo, lala na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mwasi, tia na ngambo wana masumu ya libota ya Isalaele. Okomema masumu na bango mikolo nyonso oyo okolala na ngambo wana.

"Moreover lie on your left side, and lay the iniquity of the house of Israel on it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on it, you shall bear their iniquity.

5 Ngai moko nakokatela yo motango ya mikolo, oyo ekokokana na motango ya mibu oyo libota ya Isalaele asali masumu: mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa; mpe okomema solo masumu ya libota ya Isalaele na mikolo oyo.

For I have appointed the years of their iniquity to be to you a number of days, even three hundred ninety days: so you shall bear the iniquity of the house of Israel.

6 Sima na yo kosilisa mikolo yango, lala lisusu na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali mpe mema lisusu masumu ya libota ya Yuda. Nakateli yo mikolo tuku minei: mokolo moko mpo na mobu moko na moko.

"Again, when you have accomplished these, you shall lie on your right side, and shall bear the iniquity of the house of Judah: forty days, each day for a year, have I appointed it to you.

7 Talisa elongi mpe loboko na yo na ngambo ya Yelusalemi oyo bazingela mpe sakola mabe na tina na yango.

You shall set your face toward the siege of Jerusalem, with your arm uncovered; and you shall prophesy against it.

8 Nakolinga-linga yo na basinga mpo ete okoka kobaluka na ngambo mosusu te kino tango okokokisa mikolo na yo ya etumbu.

Look, I lay bands on you, and you shall not turn you from one side to the other, until you have accomplished the days of your siege.

9 Kamata ble mpe orje, madesu mpe misili, soya mpe masango, tia yango nyonso kati na mbeki moko kaka oyo babombelaka biloko. Ezali yango nde ekozala bilei oyo okobanda kolia tango nyonso, na mikolo nkama misato na tuku libwa oyo okowumela ya kolala na ngambo moko.

"Take for yourself also wheat, and barley, and beans, and lentils, and millet, and spelt, and put them in one vessel, and make bread of it; according to the number of the days that you shall lie on your side, even three hundred ninety days, you shall eat of it.

10 Bilei na yo ya mokolo na mokolo ekozala ya bagrame nkama mibale na tuku mibale, mpe okobanda kolia yango tango nyonso.

Your food which you shall eat shall be by weight, twenty shekels a day: from time to time you shall eat it.

11 Okobanda komela tango nyonso litele moko ya mayi.

You shall drink water by measure, the sixth part of a hin: from time to time you shall drink.

12 Okolia bilei basala lokola gato ya orje mpe okobanda kotumba yango na miso ya bato nyonso, na moto oyo bapelisa na nyei ya bato. »

You shall eat it as barley cakes, and you shall bake it in their sight with dung that comes out of man."

13 Yawe alobaki: — Ezali na nzela wana nde bana ya Isalaele bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na bikolo epai wapi nakobengana bango.

Jehovah said, "Even thus shall the children of Israel eat their bread unclean, among the nations where I will drive them."

14 Bongo nalobaki: — Te, Nkolo Yawe! Natikala nanu komikomisa mbindo te! Wuta bolenge na ngai, natikala nanu kolia te nyama oyo ekufa yango moko to nyama oyo nyama ya zamba esila koboma! Te, monoko na ngai etikala nanu kolia mosuni ya mbindo te!

Then I said, "Ah Lord Jehovah. Look, my soul has not been polluted; for from my youth up even until now have I not eaten of that which dies of itself, or is torn of animals; neither came there abominable flesh into my mouth."

15 Alobaki na ngai: — Malamu mingi! Na esika ya nyei ya bato, napesi yo nyei ya ngombe mpo ete okoka kotumbela gato na yo.

Then he said to me, "Look, I have given you cow's dung for man's dung, and you shall prepare your bread thereon."

16 Alobaki na ngai lisusu: — Mwana na moto, nakobebisa bilei nyonso oyo ezali na bibombelo ya Yelusalemi. Bato bakolia biteni mike ya mapa, na pasi na motema, mpe bakomela mayi na bakopo ya mike, na somo;

Moreover he said to me, "Son of man, look, I will break the staff of bread in Jerusalem: and they shall eat bread by weight, and with fearfulness; and they shall drink water by measure, and in dismay:

17 pamba te bilei mpe mayi ya komela ekokoma pasi mpo na kozwa. Moko na moko akokamwa mpo na moninga na ye mosusu; mpe bakobebisama likolo ya masumu na bango.

that they may want bread and water, and be dismayed one with another, and pine away in their iniquity.
