< Ezekiel 29 >
1 IN the tenth year, in the tenth month, in the twelfth day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Na mokolo ya zomi na mibale ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya zomi, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 Son of man, set thy face against Pharaoh king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all Egypt:
« Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo epai ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, sakola mpo na kotelemela ye mpe mokili mobimba ya Ejipito!
3 Speak, and say, Thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I am against thee, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lieth in the midst of his rivers, which hath said, My river is mine own, and I have made it for myself.
Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Yo Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, natelemeli yo! Yo dalagona monene oyo ovandaka kati na bibale na yo, yo oyo ozali koloba: ‘Ebale Nili ezali ya ngai; mpe ngai, ngai moko nde namisala!’
4 But I will put hooks in thy jaws, and I will cause the fish of thy rivers to stick unto thy scales, and I will bring thee up out of the midst of thy rivers, and all the fish of thy rivers shall stick unto thy scales.
Nakokanga yo bibende na mbanga, nakosala ete mbisi ya ebale na yo ekangama yo na poso ya nzoto; nakobimisa yo na libanda ya bibale na yo elongo na mbisi oyo ekangami yo na poso ya nzoto.
5 And I will leave thee thrown into the wilderness, thee and all the fish of thy rivers: thou shalt fall upon the open fields; thou shalt not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given thee for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
Nakobwaka yo na esobe, yo mpe mbisi ya bibale na yo. Okokweya na mabele ya elanga ya polele; bakolokota yo te, bakokunda yo te; mpe nakokomisa yo bilei ya banyama ya mokili mpe ya bandeke ya likolo.
6 And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because they have been a staff of reed to the house of Israel.
Boye, bavandi nyonso ya Ejipito bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. Ozalaki na yo kaka lokola eyekamelo oyo basala na nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi, mpo na libota ya Isalaele.
7 When they took hold of thee by thy hand, thou didst break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned upon thee, thou brakest, and madest all their loins to be at a stand.
Tango maboko na bango esimbaki yo, obukanaki mpe ozokisaki mapeka na bango; tango balalelaki yo, obukanaki mpe olembisaki mikongo na bango.
8 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will bring a sword upon thee, and cut off man and beast out of thee.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakoyeisa mopanga mpo na kobebisa yo, mpe nakoboma bato na yo mpe bibwele na bango.
9 And the land of Egypt shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the Lord: because he hath said, The river is mine, and I have made it.
Ejipito ekokoma esobe mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te; mpe bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. Lokola ozalaki koloba: ‘Ebale Nili ezali ya ngai; kasi ngai, ngai moko nde namisala,’
10 Behold, therefore I am against thee, and against thy rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even unto the border of Ethiopia.
natombokeli yo mpe bibale na yo; mpe lisusu, nakobebisa mokili ya Ejipito, nakokomisa yango esobe kobanda na Migidoli kino na Siene, kino na bandelo ya mokili ya Kushi.
11 No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited forty years.
Ata litambe moko ya moto to ya nyama ekolekela lisusu wana te: moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna mibu tuku minei.
12 And I will make the land of Egypt desolate in the midst of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
Nakokomisa Ejipito esobe kati na mikili oyo ekoma esobe, mpe bingumba na yango ekotikala lisusu na bato te, mibu tuku minei, kati na bingumba oyo ebeba. Nakopanza bato ya Ejipito kati na bikolo mpe nakopalanganisa bango na mikili mosusu.
13 Yet thus saith the Lord God; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people whither they were scattered:
Nzokande, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Sima na mibu tuku minei, nakosangisa bato ya Ejipito wuta na bikolo epai wapi bapalanganaki,
14 And I will bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base kingdom.
nakokangola bato ya Ejipito oyo bazalaki na bowumbu mpe nakozongisa bango na Patrosi, mokili ya bakoko na bango; mpe kuna, bakokoma kaka mwa bokonzi moko ya moke.
15 It shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
Ejipito ekokoma mokili moko moke koleka mikili mosusu, ekomikumisa lisusu te liboso ya bikolo mosusu; nakokomisa yango moke penza mpo ete ezala lisusu na makoki te ya kokonza bikolo mosusu.
16 And it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which bringeth their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but they shall know that I am the Lord God.
Mokili ya Ejipito ekozala lisusu mpo na bana ya Isalaele mokili ya kotiela motema te, kasi ekokoma lokola ekaniseli ya masumu oyo bato na Ngai bazalaki kosala tango bazalaki koluka lisungi epai na yango. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. › »
17 And it came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day of the month, the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, na mobu ya tuku mibale na sambo, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
18 Son of man, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served against it:
« Mwana na moto, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, alendisaki makasi mampinga na ye mpo na kobundisa engumba Tiri; mito ya basoda nyonso ekomaki mabandi mpe mapeka na bango elongwaki-longwaki baposo. Nzokande, ye mpe mampinga na ye batikalaki kozwa litomba ata moko te na mosala na bango ya kobundisa engumba Tiri.
19 Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt unto Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it shall be the wages for his army.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakokaba Ejipito na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni; mpe ye, akobotola bomengo na yango, akozwa bomengo ya bitumba mpe akobebisa yango nyonso penza.
20 I have given him the land of Egypt for his labour wherewith he served against it, because they wrought for me, saith the Lord God.
Napesi epai ya Nabukodonozori mokili ya Ejipito lokola lifuti mpo na misala na ye, pamba te ye mpe mampinga na ye basalaki mpo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
21 In that day will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give thee the opening of the mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
Na mokolo wana, nakobimisa liseke mpo na libota ya Isalaele; nakofungola monoko na yo kati na bango, mpe bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »
