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 of the month, that the word of Yahweh 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 doors of the peoples. She is turned unto me, — I shall be filled, She is laid waste,
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, saith My Lord Yahweh, Behold me! against thee O Tyre, — So then I will bring up against thee many nations, As the sea bringeth up its rolling waves;
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 break down her towers, And I will scrape clean her dust from off her, —And make of her the glaring face of a cliff:
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 of nets, shall she become, in the midst of the sea, For, I, have spoken Declareth My Lord. Yahweh, -And she shall become a prey 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: with the sword shall be slain: So shall they know that I am Yahweh.
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 saith My Lord. Yahweh, Behold me! bringing against Tyre. Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon out of the North. a king of kings, —with horses and with chariots and with horsemen, and a gathered host, and much 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—with the sword, shall he slay, - And shall set against thee a siege-wall And cast up against thee an earthwork, And set up against thee a large shield;
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 the stroke of his attacking-engine, will he direct against thy walls, — And thy towers, will 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 multitude of his horses, their dust shall cover thee, — At the noise of horseman and wheel and chariot, shall thy walls tremble, when he entereth into thy gates Just as they do who enter a city broken open.
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-with the sword, shall he slay, And thy pillars of strength to the earth, shall go down.
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 spoil thy wealth And make a prey of thy merchandise, And break down thy walls And thy pleasant houses, shall they lay in ruins; And thy stones and thy timber and thy dust—in the midst of the waters, shall they lay.
13 Nakosukisa makelele ya banzembo na yo, mpe mindule ya lindanda na yo ekotikala koyokana lisusu te.
And I will cause to cease the hum of thy songs; And the sound of thy lyres, 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 make of thee the glaring face of a cliff. A place for the spreading of nets, shalt thou become, Thou shalt not be but any more, For I. Yahweh have spoken it, Declareth My Lord Yahweh.
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 saith My Lord. Yahweh, to Tyre: Shall it not be that. At the sound of thy fall. With the groan of thy pierced one. With the slaughter made in thy midst, The Coastlands shall tremble?
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 come down from off their thrones all the princes of the sea, And shall lay aside their robes. And their embroidered garments, shall strip off, — With tremblings, shall they clothe them. selves Upon the ground, shall they sit, And shall tremble every moment and be astonished over 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.
Then shall they take up over thee a dirge, And say to thee, - How hast thou perished, And ceased from the seas, - The city renowned which was strong in the sea She and they who dwelt in her, Who imparted their terror To all who dwelt in 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 tremble the Coastlands, In the day of thy fall, - And shall shudder the isles that are in the sea. At thine exit!
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 saith My Lord Yahweh, When I make thee a desolate city, Like cities which cannot be dwelt in, - When I bring up over thee the roaring deep, And the mighty 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 them that go down into the pit. Unto the people of age-past times And cause thee to dwell in the earth below Among the desolations from age-past times With them that go down into the pit That thou mayest not be dwelt in, Nor yet present thyself in the land of the living.
21 Nakokomisa yo eloko ya koyoka somo, mpe okokoma eloko pamba; bakobanda koluka yo kasi bakomona yo lisusu te, elobi Nkolo Yawe. »
A terror, will I make thee And thou shalt not be: Though thou be sought for, Thou shalt not be found any more To times age-abiding, Declareth My Lord, Yahweh.
