Ezekiel 31
1 And it came to pass in the eleventh year, in the third month, on the first of the month, that the word of Yahweh 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 Say unto Pharaoh king of Egypt and unto his multitude, — Whom art thou like in thy 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 Lo! Assyria, was a cedar in Lebanon, Beautiful in bough and Dense in foliage and Lofty in stature, — and Among the clouds, came to be his top:
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 roaring deep, made him high—with its currents going round about the place where it was planted, Its channels also, it sent forth 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 For this cause higher, was his stature than any of the trees of the field, -And multiplied were his boughs And lengthened were his branches, By reason of the mighty waters when he shot forth shoots.
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 Among his branches, all the birds of the heavens, made their nests, And under his boughs, all the wild beasts of the field, brought forth, — And, in his shade, dwelt all the mighty 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 became he beautiful in his greatness, In the length of his waving branches, Because his root had gone towards mighty 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 Cedars hid him not. in the garden of God, Fir-trees were not like unto his boughs, Nor plane-trees, like his branches, —no, 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 Beautiful, I made him in the abundance of his waving branches, - Therefore was he envied by all the trees of Eden, which were in the garden of God.
Nasalaki yango kitoko makasi na bitape ebele; bongo banzete nyonso ya Edeni, kati na elanga ya Nzambe, ezalaki kolula yango.
10 Therefore Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh, Because thou hast become lofty in stature, And he hath stretched his top among the clouds, And his heart is exalted in his loftiness.
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 Let me then deliver him into the hand of the chief of the nations, He shall effectually deal with him! According to his lawlessness, have I driven him out:
nakabaki yango na maboko ya nkumu ya bikolo mpo ete apesa yango etumbu oyo ekoki na mabe na yango. Nabenganaki yango;
12 Therefore have foreigners the terrible of the nations cut him down. And abandoned him, — Upon the mountains and in all valleys, have fallen his waving branches And broken have been his boughs in all the river-beds of the land, And all the peoples of the earth have come down out of his shade. And abandoned 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 trunk, shall settle down all the birds of the heavens, - And among his boughs, are to be found all the wild beasts of the field: —
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 the trees of the waters— May exalt themselves in their stature or stretch their top among the clouds, Nor their mighty ones take their stand in their height- any that drink of the waters, — Because they all, are delivered to death Unto the earth below. In the midst of the sons of Adam. Amongst them who descend into 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, saith My Lord Yahweh, In the day when he descended into hades, I caused a mourning. I covered over him the roaring deep, And restrained the currents thereof And stayed were the mighty waters, So caused I gloom over him unto Lebanon, And all the trees of the field for him were covered with a shroud. (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 At the sound of his fall, I made nations tremble, When I caused him to descend into hades, with them who descend into the pit, — Then were grieved in the earth below-All the trees of Eden, The choicest and best of Lebanon All who had drunk the waters. (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 Even they, with him descended into hades. Among them who were thrust through with the sword, - Even his seed who dwelt in his shade in the midst of the nations. (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 Unto whom couldst thou be likened thus, in glory and in greatness, among the trees of Eden? Yet shalt thou be caused to descend with the trees of Eden into the earth below In the midst of the uncircumcised, shalt thou lie down With them who were thrust through by the sword, the same, is Pharaoh and all his multitude, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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. › »
