< Ezekiel 19 >
1 And you take up a lamentation because of [the] princes of Israel.
« Bongo yo, tinda nzembo ya mawa mpo na bakambi ya Isalaele mpe loba:
2 And you will say what? [was] mother your a lioness between lions she lay down in among young lions she reared cubs her.
‹ Mama na yo azalaki nani? Nkosi ya mwasi kati na bankosi! Ezalaki kovanda kati na bana na yango mpe kobokola bana yango.
3 And she brought up one of cubs her a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
Ekolisaki moko kati na bana na yango, mpe mwana yango ekomaki nkosi moko ya makasi. Bongo, eyekolaki kopasola banyama mpe kolia bato.
4 And they heard concerning it nations in pit their it was caught and they brought it with hooks to [the] land of Egypt.
Bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bayokaki sango na yango mpe bakangaki yango na mitambo ya mabulu; bakangaki yango bibende na zolo mpe bamemaki yango na mokili ya Ejipito.
5 And she saw that she waited it was lost hope her and she took one of cubs her a young lion she made it.
Tango mama ya nkosi yango emonaki ete elekisi tango ya pamba mpo na kozela mpe elikya na yango esili, ekamataki mwana mosusu kati na bana na yango, ekomisaki yango mpe nkosi ya makasi.
6 And it went about in among lions a young lion it was and it learned to tear prey human[s] it devoured.
Ekomaki konguluma kati na bankosi, pamba te yango mpe ekomaki nkosi ya makasi. Eyekolaki kopasola banyama mpe kolia bato.
7 And it knew widows its and cities their it laid waste and it was desolate [the] land and what fills it from [the] sound of roaring its.
Ekweyisaki bandako na bango ya makasi mpe ebebisaki bingumba na bango. Soki egangi, mokili mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kuna bazalaki kotondisama na somo.
8 And they set on it nations all around from provinces and they spread out over it net their in pit their it was caught.
Bongo bato ya bituka ya zingazinga, longwa na bikolo na bango, bayaki kotelemela yango, batielaki yango mitambo na bango mpe bakangaki yango kati na mabulu na bango.
9 And they put it in cage with hooks and they brought it to [the] king of Babylon they brought it in strongholds so that not it will be heard voice its again to [the] mountains of Israel.
Bakangaki yango minyololo, bakotisaki yango kati na ndako ya banyama, bamemaki yango epai ya mokonzi ya Babiloni. Babwakaki yango na boloko mpo ete mongongo ya koganga na yango eyokana lisusu na bangomba ya Isalaele te.
10 Mother your like vine in blood your at water planted fruitful and full of branches it was from waters many.
Mama na yo azalaki lokola nzete ya vino kati na elanga na yo ya vino, oyo elonama pembeni ya mayi, ezalaki kobota bambuma ebele, ezalaki na bitape ebele mpo ete mayi mpe ezalaki ebele.
11 And they belonged to it branches of strength to scepters of rulers and it was lofty stature its above between branches and it was seen by height its by [the] abundance of branches its.
Bitape na yango ezalaki makasi, ezalaki malamu mpo na kosala mangenda ya bokonzi, ezalaki molayi makasi koleka banzete mosusu; eyebanaki makasi mpo na molayi na yango mpe mpo na ebele ya makasa na yango.
12 And it was plucked up in rage to the ground it was thrown down and [the] wind of the east it dried up fruit its they were torn off and they became dry [the] branch of strength its a fire it consumed it.
Kasi bapikolaki yango na kanda mpe babwakaki yango na mabele. Mopepe ya este ekawusaki yango, ekweyisaki mbuma na yango, ekawusaki mpe bitape na yango ya makasi mpe moto etumbaki yango.
13 And now [it is] planted in the wilderness in a land dry and thirst.
Mpe sik’oyo baloni yango kati na esobe, mokili oyo ekawuka mpe ezanga mayi.
14 And it went out fire from [the] branch of shoots its fruit its it consumed and not it was in it a branch of strength a scepter to rule [is] a lamentation it and it has become a lamentation.
Moto ebimi longwa na moko ya bitape na yango mpe etumbi mbuma na yango; ata etape moko te ya makasi etikalaki mpo na kosala lingenda ya bokonzi. › Yango nde ezali nzembo ya mawa mpe esengeli koyemba yango lokola nzembo ya mawa. »
