Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, in the first day of the month, that the word of the LORD came unto me, saying,
Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya misato, na mobu ya zomi na moko, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 Son of man, speak unto Pharaoh king of Egypt, and to his multitude; Whom are you like in your greatness?
« Mwana na moto, loba na Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, mpe na mampinga na ye nyonso: ‹ Nani penza akoki kokokana na yo na lokumu?
3 Behold, the Assyrian was a cedar in Lebanon with fair branches, and with a shadowing shroud, and of an high stature; and his top was among the thick boughs.
Tala mokili ya Asiri malamu! Ezalaki lokola nzete ya sedele kati na Libani: bitape na yango ezalaki kitoko mpe na makasa ebele oyo ezalaki kopesa pio koleka banzete nyonso ya zamba; elekaki banzete nyonso ya zamba na molayi, songe na yango ezalaki ekenda kino na mapata.
4 The waters made him great, the deep set him up on high with her rivers running round about his plants, and sent her little rivers unto all the trees of the field.
Mayi ezalaki kokolisa yango, mpe mayi ya se ya mabele ezalaki koyeisa yango molayi; ebimisaki miluka zingazinga ya esika oyo balonaki yango mpe epanzanaki kino na banzete nyonso ya zamba.
5 Therefore his height was exalted above all the trees of the field, and his boughs were multiplied, and his branches became long because of the multitude of waters, when he shot forth.
Boye, nzete yango ekomaki molayi makasi koleka banzete nyonso ya zamba; bitape na yango ekomaki milayi, mpe makasa na yango ekomaki ebele, pamba te ezalaki kozwa mayi ebele.
6 All the fowls of heaven made their nests in his boughs, and under his branches did all the beasts of the field bring forth their young, and under his shadow dwelt all great nations.
Bandeke nyonso ya likolo ezalaki koya kotonga bazala na bitape na yango, banyama nyonso ya zamba mpe ezalaki kobota na se ya bitape na yango. Bikolo nyonso ya minene ezalaki kobika na se ya pio na yango.
7 Thus was he fair in his greatness, in the length of his branches: for his root was by great waters.
Ezalaki kitoko na monene na yango mpe na molayi ya bitape na yango, pamba te misisa na yango ezalaki ekita kino na mayi minene.
8 The cedars in the garden of God could not hide him: the fir trees were not like his boughs, and the chestnut trees were not like his branches; nor any tree in the garden of God was like unto him in his beauty.
Kati na elanga ya Nzambe, nzete moko te ya sedele ekokanaki na yango, nzete moko te ya sipele ekokanaki na yango na bitape, nzete moko te ya platane ekokanaki na yango na makasa: nzete moko te kati na elanga ya Nzambe ekokanaki na yango na kitoko.
9 I have made him fair by the multitude of his branches: so that all the trees of Eden, that were in the garden of God, envied him.
Nasalaki yango kitoko makasi na bitape ebele; bongo banzete nyonso ya Edeni, kati na elanga ya Nzambe, ezalaki kolula yango.
10 Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Because you have lifted up yourself in height, and he has shot up his top among the thick boughs, and his heart is lifted up in his height;
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola ekomaki molayi penza, bongo songe na yango ekendeki kino na mapata; mpe lokola ekomaki na lolendo mpo na molayi na yango,
11 I have therefore delivered him into the hand of the mighty one of the heathen; he shall surely deal with him: I have driven him out for his wickedness.
nakabaki yango na maboko ya nkumu ya bikolo mpo ete apesa yango etumbu oyo ekoki na mabe na yango. Nabenganaki yango;
12 And strangers, the terrible of the nations, have cut him off, and have left him: upon the mountains and in all the valleys his branches are fallen, and his boughs are broken by all the rivers of the land; and all the people of the earth are gone down from his shadow, and have left him.
mpe bikolo ya bapaya oyo eleki kanza ekweyisaki yango mpe asundolaki yango; makasa na yango ekweyaki na bangomba mpe na mabwaku nyonso, bitape na yango ebukanaki mpe ekweyaki na mabulu nyonso ya minene ya mokili. Bikolo nyonso ya mabele ekimaki wuta na se ya pio na yango mpe esundolaki yango; bongo etikalaki yango moko.
13 Upon his ruin shall all the fowls of the heaven remain, and all the beasts of the field shall be upon his branches:
Bandeke nyonso ya likolo ekomaki kovanda na mobimbi na yango oyo epola, mpe banyama nyonso ya zamba ekomaki kovanda na bitape na yango.
14 To the end that none of all the trees by the waters exalt themselves for their height, neither shoot up their top among the thick boughs, neither their trees stand up in their height, all that drink water: for they are all delivered unto death, to the nether parts of the earth, in the midst of the children of men, with them that go down to the pit.
Boye, makambo oyo nyonso esalemaki mpo ete nzete moko te oyo elonama pembeni ya mayi ekoma na lolendo mpo na molayi na yango mpe mpo na songe na yango oyo ekenda kino na mapata; mpe mpo ete terebente moko te oyo ezali kozwa mayi ekoma na lolendo mpo na molayi na yango. Pamba te, yango nyonso etangama ete ekokufa, ekokita kino na mokili ya se ya mabele, kati na bakufi, elongo na bato oyo bakitaka na se ya libulu ya kufa.
15 Thus says the Lord GOD; In the day when he went down to the grave I caused a mourning: I covered the deep for him, and I restrained the floods thereof, and the great waters were stayed: and I caused Lebanon to mourn for him, and all the trees of the field fainted for him. (Sheol h7585)
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na mokolo oyo nzete ya sedele ekitaki na se ya mokili ya bakufi, napesaki mitindo ete mayi oyo ya se ya mabele esala matanga mpo na yango. Likolo na yango, nazipaki mayi ya se ya mabele, nakangaki bibale na yango mpe mayi minene ekangamaki; nazipaki zamba ya Libani na molili mpe nakawusaki banzete nyonso ya elanga. (Sheol h7585)
16 I made the nations to shake at the sound of his fall, when I cast him down to hell with them that descend into the pit: and all the trees of Eden, the choice and best of Lebanon, all that drink water, shall be comforted in the nether parts of the earth. (Sheol h7585)
Nalengisaki bikolo na lokito ya kokweya na yango, tango nakitisaki yango na mboka ya bakufi elongo na bato oyo bakitaka na libulu ya kufa. Boye, banzete nyonso ya Edeni, oyo eleki kitoko, mpe banzete ya Libani, oyo eleki kitoko, banzete nyonso oyo ezalaki kozwa mayi malamu, ebondisamaki na se ya mabele. (Sheol h7585)
17 They also went down into hell with him unto them that be slain with the sword; and they that were his arm, that dwelt under his shadow in the midst of the heathen. (Sheol h7585)
Yango mpe ekitaki, elongo na nzete ya sedele, na mokili ya bakufi, epai ya bato oyo bakufaki na mopanga, oyo basanganaki na yango mpo na kovanda na se ya pio na yango kati na bikolo. (Sheol h7585)
18 To whom are you thus like in glory and in greatness among the trees of Eden? yet shall you be brought down with the trees of Eden unto the nether parts of the earth: you shall lie in the midst of the uncircumcised with them that be slain by the sword. This is Pharaoh and all his multitude, says the Lord GOD.
Nzete nini kati na Edeni ekokani na yo na monene mpe na lokumu? Nzokande, yo mpe okokita, elongo na banzete ya Edeni, na mokili ya se ya mabele; okolala esika moko na bato oyo bakatama ngenga te, elongo na bato oyo bakufaki na mopanga. Ndenge wana nde Faraon elongo na bato na ye bakosuka, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
