Ezekieli 26
1 Na mobu ya zomi na moko, na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And it came to pass in the eleventh year, on the first day of the month, that the word of the Lord came unto me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, lokola Tiri alobaki mpo na kotiola Yelusalemi: ‹ Ozwi! Ekuke ya bikolo ebukani! Bikuke na yango efungwami mpo na kotondisa ngai na bomengo! Lokola esili kobebisama, Ngai sik’oyo, nakofuluka! ›
Son of man, because Tyre hath said concerning Jerusalem, Aha, she is broken that was the gates of the people; she is turned unto me; I shall be made full, now she is laid in ruins:
3 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh engumba ya Tiri, natombokeli yo! Nakotindela yo bikolo ebele lokola mbonge ya ebale monene, mpo ete eya kobundisa yo.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I am against thee, O Tyre, and will bring up against thee many nations, as the sea causeth its waves to come up.
4 Bakobuka bamir ya Tiri mpe bakokweyisa bandako na yango ya milayi; mpe Ngai, nakolongola putulu na yango nyonso mpe nakotika yango mabanga ya pamba.
And they shall destroy the walls of Tyre, and pull down her towers: I will also flood away her earth from her, and I will change her into a naked rock.
5 Engumba Tiri ekokoma, kati na ebale monene, esika oyo balobi mbisi bakobanda kotanda minyama na bango mpo na kokawusa yango. Ezali Ngai nde nasili koloba, elobi Nkolo Yawe; engumba Tiri ekokoma bomengo ya bitumba ya bikolo,
A place for the spreading out of nets shall she be in the midst of the sea; for I have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal: and she shall become a spoil to the nations.
6 mpe bakoboma na mopanga bamboka ya mike-mike oyo ezalaka pembeni ya ebale monene. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
And her daughters that are in the field shall be slain with the sword: and they shall know that I am the Lord.
7 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Wuta na nor, nakotindela Tiri Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mokonzi ya bakonzi: akoya elongo na bampunda mpe bashar, basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda mpe mampinga monene ya basoda;
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Behold, I will bring against Tyre Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon, from the north, the king of kings, with horses, and with chariot's, and with horsemen, and an assemblage, and a numerous people.
8 akobebisa na mopanga bingumba na yo, oyo ezalaka pembeni ya ebale monene, akozingela yo, akotimola mabulu ya kobombamela zingazinga ya bamir na yo mpe akotombola banguba na ye mpo na kobundisa yo.
Thy daughters in the field will he slay with the sword: and he shall place around thee works of attack, and cast up against thee a mound, and erect against thee a target-fence.
9 Akotindela bamir na yo makonga ya basoda na ye, oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda mpe akobuka bandako na yo ya milayi na nzela ya bibundeli na ye ya nguya.
And his catapults shall he set against thy walls, and thy towers shall he break down with his axes.
10 Bampunda na ye ekozala ebele penza kino putulu na yango ekozipa yo; bamir na yo ekoningana na makelele ya bampunda ya bitumba, ya bapine mpe ya shar, tango akokota na bikuke na yo ndenge bato bakotaka kati na engumba oyo bamir na yango ezali na madusu.
By reason of the abundance of his horses shall the dust they raise cover thee: by reason of the noise of horsemen, and wheels, and chariots, shall thy walls quake, when he entereth into thy gates, as men enter into a city that is broken in.
11 Makolo ya bampunda na ye ekokota na babalabala na yo nyonso, akoboma bato na yo na mopanga, mpe makonzi oyo esalaka makasi na yo ekokweya na mabele.
With the hoofs of his horses shall he tread down all thy streets: thy people will he slay with the sword, and the statues of thy strength shall come down to the ground.
12 Bakobotola lokola bomengo ya bitumba bozwi mpe biloko na yo ya koteka, bakokweyisa bamir na yo, bakobuka bandako na yo ya kitoko mpe, na sima, bakobwaka nyonso na ebale: mabanga, mabaya mpe putulu na yo.
And they shall plunder thy riches, and make a spoil of thy merchandise; and they shall break down thy walls, and thy pleasure-houses shall they pull down: and thy stones and thy timber and thy earth shall they throw into the midst of the water.
13 Nakosukisa makelele ya banzembo na yo, mpe mindule ya lindanda na yo ekotikala koyokana lisusu te.
And I will cause the sound of thy songs to cease: and the tones of thy harps shall not be heard any more.
14 Nakokomisa yo mabanga ya pamba, mpe okokoma esika oyo balobi mbisi bakobanda kotanda minyama na bango mpo na kokawusa yango; okotikala kotongama lisusu te, pamba te ezali Ngai Yawe nde nalobi, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
And I will change thee into a naked rock; a place to spread out nets upon shalt thou be; thou shalt not be rebuilt any more; for I the Lord have spoken it, saith the Lord Eternal.
15 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi na Tiri: Boni, bisanga ekolenga te na lokito ya kokweya na yo, na kolela ya bato na yo, oyo bazokisi bango bapota minene mpe na kufa ya somo kati na yo?
Thus hath said the Lord Eternal to Tyre, Truly at the noise of thy fall, when the deadly wounded whine, when the slaughter taketh place in the midst of thee, shall the islands quake.
16 Bakambi nyonso ya bisanga bakotika bakiti na bango ya bokonzi, bakolongola banzambala na bango mpe bilamba na bango batonga bililingi na basinga, bakolata somo lokola elamba mpe bakovanda na mabele; bakokoma kolenga na somo mpe kobanga tango nyonso, mpo na yo.
Then shall all the princes of the sea come down from their thrones, and lay aside their robes, and their broidered garments shall they put off: with trembling shall they clothe themselves; upon the ground shall they sit, and shall tremble at every moment, and be astonished concerning thee.
17 Bakoyembela yo nzembo ya mawa mpe bakoloba: ‹ Oh engumba oyo ekenda sango, ndenge nini babebisi yo, engumba ya bato ya ebale monene! Yo mpe bato na yo, bozalaki na nguya kati na ebale monene, bozalaki kolengisa na somo bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna.
And they shall lift up over thee a lamentation, and say to thee, How art thou lost, that wast inhabited [safely] by reason of the seas: O renowned city, which was strong on the sea, she and her inhabitants, who caused their terror to be on all that dwelt around her!
18 Sik’oyo bisanga ekomi kolenga, na mokolo ya kokweya na yo, bisanga ya ebale monene ekomi na somo makasi mpo na suka na yo. ›
Now shall the isles tremble on the day of thy fall; yea, the isles that are in the sea shall be troubled at thy end.
19 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Tango nakokomisa yo engumba oyo ezalaka lisusu na bato te lokola bingumba oyo etikala nanu kozala na bato te, tango nakoyeisa epai na yo mayi ya mozindo mpe bambonge na yango ekozindisa yo,
For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, When I render thee a ruined city, like the cities that are not inhabited; when I bring up over thee the deep, and when the great waters cover thee:
20 nakozindisa yo kati na libulu ya mozindo esika moko na bato oyo bakitaka kuna, epai ya bato ya kala; nakovandisa yo kati na mokili oyo ezalaka na se ya mabele, lokola kati na libebi ya kala, mpe okozala elongo na bato oyo bakitaka kati na libulu ya mozindo, mpo ete okoma bisika oyo bato bakovanda lisusu te; mpe okozonga te to okozwa lisusu bisika te na mabele ya bato ya bomoi.
Then will I bring thee down with those that descend into the pit, unto the people of olden time, and I will cause thee to dwell in the land of the nether world, among ruins of ancient days, with those that go down to the pit, in order that thou mayest not be inhabited; but I will bestow glory in the land of life.
21 Nakokomisa yo eloko ya koyoka somo, mpe okokoma eloko pamba; bakobanda koluka yo kasi bakomona yo lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
As though thou hadst not been will I render thee, and thou shalt be no more: and thou shalt be sought for, but thou shalt never be found any more to eternity, saith the Lord Eternal.
