Ezekieli 28
1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Yahweh’s word came again to me, saying,
2 « Mwana na moto, loba na mokambi ya Tiri: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na lolendo ya motema na yo, olobaki: ‘Nazali nzambe, navandaka na kiti ya bokonzi ya nzambe na kati-kati ya bibale minene.’ Nzokande, ozali na yo kaka moto, ozali na yo nzambe te atako okanisi ete ozali na bwanya lokola nzambe.
“Son of man, tell the prince of Tyre, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Because your heart is lifted up, and you have said, ‘I am a god, I sit in the seat of God, in the middle of the seas;’ yet you are man, and no god, though you set your heart as the heart of a god—
3 Boni, okanisi ete ozali na bwanya koleka Daniele? Okanisi ete oyebi mabombami nyonso?
behold, you are wiser than Daniel. There is no secret that is hidden from you.
4 Na bwanya mpe na mayele na yo, okomi na bozwi mpe otondisi wolo mpe palata kati na bibombelo na yo.
By your wisdom and by your understanding you have gotten yourself riches, and have gotten gold and silver into your treasuries.
5 Lokola ozalaki mayele makasi na mosala ya mombongo, oyeisi bomengo na yo ebele makasi; mpe mpo na bomengo na yo, motema na yo etondi na lolendo.
By your great wisdom and by your trading you have increased your riches, and your heart is lifted up because of your riches—”
6 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Lokola ozali kokanisa ete ozali na bwanya lokola Nzambe,
“‘therefore the Lord Yahweh says: “Because you have set your heart as the heart of God,
7 nakotindela yo bato ya bikolo ya bapaya, bikolo oyo baleki kanza kati na bikolo, mpo ete babundisa yo: bakobimisela yo mipanga na bango mpo na kosambwisa mayele mpe bwanya na yo, bongo bakosambwisa lokumu na yo.
therefore, behold, I will bring strangers on you, the terrible of the nations. They will draw their swords against the beauty of your wisdom. They will defile your brightness.
8 Bakokitisa yo kino na libulu, mpe okokufa kufa ya somo kati na bibale minene.
They will bring you down to the pit. You will die the death of those who are slain in the heart of the seas.
9 Okokoka lisusu koloba liboso ya bato oyo bazali koboma yo: ‘Ngai nazali nzambe?’ Ozali na yo kaka moto; ozali nzambe te, kati na maboko ya bato oyo bazali koboma yo.
Will you yet say before him who kills you, ‘I am God’? But you are man, and not God, in the hand of him who wounds you.
10 Okokufa kufa ya bato oyo bakatama ngenga te, na maboko ya bato ya bikolo ya bapaya. Ngai nde nalobi, elobi Nkolo Yawe. › »
You will die the death of the uncircumcised by the hand of strangers; for I have spoken it,” says the Lord Yahweh.’”
11 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Moreover Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
12 « Mwana na moto, tinda nzembo ya mawa na tina na mokonzi ya Tiri! Loba na ye: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Ozalaki ndakisa mpo na komona nyonso oyo ezali ya kokoka, otondaki na bwanya, mpe ozalaki kitoko koleka.
“Son of man, take up a lamentation over the king of Tyre, and tell him, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “You were the seal of full measure, full of wisdom, and perfect in beauty.
13 Ozalaki kati na Edeni, elanga ya Nzambe; mabanga ya talo ya lolenge nyonso ezalaki kokomisa yo kitoko: ribi, topaze, diama, emerode, krizolite, onikisi, jasipe, safiri; bambunda na yo ya mike mpe baflite na yo ezalaki ya wolo, babongisaki yango mpo na mokolo oyo bakela yo.
You were in Eden, the garden of God. Every precious stone adorned you: ruby, topaz, emerald, chrysolite, onyx, jasper, sapphire, turquoise, and beryl. Gold work of tambourines and of pipes was in you. They were prepared in the day that you were created.
14 Napakolaki yo mafuta mpo ete ozala Sheribe oyo abatelaka, oyo mapapu na ye efungwama; pamba te Ngai nde natiaki yo na ngomba ya bule ya Nzambe; ozalaki wana, ozalaki kotambola na kati-kati ya mabanga oyo ezalaki kongenga lokola moto.
You were the anointed cherub who covers. Then I set you up on the holy mountain of God. You have walked up and down in the middle of the stones of fire.
15 Etamboli na yo ezalaki ata na pamela moko te wuta mokolo oyo okelama kino tango mabe emonanaki kati na yo.
You were perfect in your ways from the day that you were created, until unrighteousness was found in you.
16 Lokola omonaki ete mombongo na yo emati makasi, okomaki konyokola bato mpe kosala masumu; mpo na yango, nalongolaki yo na ngomba ya Nzambe mpe nabenganaki yo, sheribe oyo abatelaka, na molongo ya mabanga oyo ezalaki kongenga lokola moto.
By the abundance of your commerce, your insides were filled with violence, and you have sinned. Therefore I have cast you as profane out of God’s mountain. I have destroyed you, covering cherub, from the middle of the stones of fire.
17 Motema na yo etondaki na lolendo mpo na kitoko na yo; obebisaki bwanya na yo mpo na lokumu na yo. Yango wana, nabwaki yo na mabele mpe nakomisi yo eloko ya liseki na miso ya bakonzi.
Your heart was lifted up because of your beauty. You have corrupted your wisdom by reason of your splendor. I have cast you to the ground. I have laid you before kings, that they may see you.
18 Mpo na ebele ya masumu na yo mpe mombongo na yo, oyo osalaka na bosembo te, obebisi bosantu ya bisika na yo ya bule; mpe Ngai, nabimisi kati na yo moto mpo ete etumba yo; nakomisi yo putulu ya mabele na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazali kotala yo.
By the multitude of your iniquities, in the unrighteousness of your commerce, you have profaned your sanctuaries. Therefore I have brought out a fire from the middle of you. It has devoured you. I have turned you to ashes on the earth in the sight of all those who see you.
19 Bato ya bikolo nyonso oyo bayebaki yo bakomi na mawa na tina na yo mpo ete okomi eloko ya koyoka somo: suka na yo ezali mabe, ozali lisusu te, okotikala lisusu kozala te! › »
All those who know you among the peoples will be astonished at you. You have become a terror, and you will exist no more.”’”
20 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
Yahweh’s word came to me, saying,
21 « Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo na ngambo ya Sidoni mpe sakola na tina na yango!
“Son of man, set your face toward Sidon, and prophesy against it,
22 Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Oh Sidoni, natombokeli yo! Nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai kati na yo; boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakopesa yango etumbu mpe nakomonisa bosantu na Ngai kati na yango.
and say, ‘The Lord Yahweh says: “Behold, I am against you, Sidon. I will be glorified among you. Then they will know that I am Yahweh, when I have executed judgments in her, and am sanctified in her.
23 Nakotindela yango bokono oyo ebomaka, nakotangisa makila na babalabala na yango; mopanga ekolongwa na bangambo nyonso mpo na koboma bato na yango, mpe bato ebele bakokufa. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe.
For I will send pestilence into her, and blood into her streets. The wounded will fall within her, with the sword on her on every side. Then they will know that I am Yahweh.
24 Bato ya bikolo ya mayele mabe, oyo bazali lokola basende mpe banzube, bakozingela lisusu bana ya Isalaele te; boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe.
“‘“There will no longer be a pricking brier to the house of Israel, nor a hurting thorn of any that are around them that scorned them. Then they will know that I am the Lord Yahweh.”
25 Nkolo Yawe alobi: Tango nakosangisa bana ya Isalaele wuta na bikolo epai wapi napanzaki bango, nakomonisa bosantu na Ngai kati na bango na miso ya bikolo wana; boye, bakovanda na mokili na bango moko, mokili oyo napesaki epai ya Jakobi, mosali na Ngai.
“‘The Lord Yahweh says: “When I have gathered the house of Israel from the peoples among whom they are scattered, and am shown as holy among them in the sight of the nations, then they will dwell in their own land which I gave to my servant Jacob.
26 Bakovanda kuna na kimia, bakotonga bandako mpe bakosala bilanga ya vino; bakovanda kuna na kimia tango nakopesa etumbu na bikolo nyonso ya bapaya oyo bazingelaki bango mpe bazalaki kotiola bango. Bongo bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bango. › »
They will dwell in it securely. Yes, they will build houses, plant vineyards, and will dwell securely when I have executed judgments on all those around them who have treated them with contempt. Then they will know that I am Yahweh their God.”’”
