Ezekieli 29
1 Na mokolo ya zomi na mibale ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya zomi, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
In the tenth year, in the tenth month, on the eleventh day of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
2 « Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo epai ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, sakola mpo na kotelemela ye mpe mokili mobimba ya Ejipito!
“Son of man, set your face against Pharaoh, the king of Egypt, and you shall prophesy about him and about all of Egypt.
3 Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Yo Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, natelemeli yo! Yo dalagona monene oyo ovandaka kati na bibale na yo, yo oyo ozali koloba: ‘Ebale Nili ezali ya ngai; mpe ngai, ngai moko nde namisala!’
Speak, and you shall say: Thus says the Lord God: Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh, king of Egypt, you great dragon, who rests in the midst of your rivers. And you say: ‘Mine is the river, and I have made myself.’
4 Nakokanga yo bibende na mbanga, nakosala ete mbisi ya ebale na yo ekangama yo na poso ya nzoto; nakobimisa yo na libanda ya bibale na yo elongo na mbisi oyo ekangami yo na poso ya nzoto.
But I will place a bridle in your jaws. And I will adhere the fish of your rivers to your scales. And I will draw you out of the midst of your rivers, and all your fish will adhere to your scales.
5 Nakobwaka yo na esobe, yo mpe mbisi ya bibale na yo. Okokweya na mabele ya elanga ya polele; bakolokota yo te, bakokunda yo te; mpe nakokomisa yo bilei ya banyama ya mokili mpe ya bandeke ya likolo.
And I will cast you into the desert, with all the fish of your river. You will fall upon the surface of the earth; you will not be taken up, nor gathered together. I have given you to the beasts of the earth and to the birds of the air, to be devoured.
6 Boye, bavandi nyonso ya Ejipito bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. Ozalaki na yo kaka lokola eyekamelo oyo basala na nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi, mpo na libota ya Isalaele.
And all the inhabitants of Egypt shall know that I am the Lord. For you have been a staff made of reed to the house of Israel.
7 Tango maboko na bango esimbaki yo, obukanaki mpe ozokisaki mapeka na bango; tango balalelaki yo, obukanaki mpe olembisaki mikongo na bango.
When they took hold of you with the hand, you broke, and so you wounded all of their shoulders. And when they leaned on you, you shattered, and so you injured all of their lower backs.
8 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakoyeisa mopanga mpo na kobebisa yo, mpe nakoboma bato na yo mpe bibwele na bango.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will lead the sword over you, and I will destroy both man and beast from among you.
9 Ejipito ekokoma esobe mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te; mpe bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. Lokola ozalaki koloba: ‘Ebale Nili ezali ya ngai; kasi ngai, ngai moko nde namisala,’
And the land of Egypt will be a desert and a wilderness. And they shall know that I am the Lord. For you have said, ‘The river is mine, and I have made it.’
10 natombokeli yo mpe bibale na yo; mpe lisusu, nakobebisa mokili ya Ejipito, nakokomisa yango esobe kobanda na Migidoli kino na Siene, kino na bandelo ya mokili ya Kushi.
Therefore, behold, I am against you and against your rivers. And I will make the land of Egypt into a wilderness, destroyed by the sword from the tower of Syene all the way to the borders of Ethiopia.
11 Ata litambe moko ya moto to ya nyama ekolekela lisusu wana te: moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna mibu tuku minei.
The foot of man will not pass through it, and the foot of cattle will not walk in it. And it will be uninhabited for forty years.
12 Nakokomisa Ejipito esobe kati na mikili oyo ekoma esobe, mpe bingumba na yango ekotikala lisusu na bato te, mibu tuku minei, kati na bingumba oyo ebeba. Nakopanza bato ya Ejipito kati na bikolo mpe nakopalanganisa bango na mikili mosusu.
And I will set the land of Egypt in desolation, in the midst of desolate lands, and its cities in the midst of overturned cites. And they will be desolate for forty years. And I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and I will disperse them among the lands.
13 Nzokande, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Sima na mibu tuku minei, nakosangisa bato ya Ejipito wuta na bikolo epai wapi bapalanganaki,
For thus says the Lord God: After the end of forty years, I will gather the Egyptians from the peoples among whom they had been scattered.
14 nakokangola bato ya Ejipito oyo bazalaki na bowumbu mpe nakozongisa bango na Patrosi, mokili ya bakoko na bango; mpe kuna, bakokoma kaka mwa bokonzi moko ya moke.
And I will lead back the captivity of Egypt, and I will collect them in the land of Pathros, in the land of their nativity. And in that place, they will be a lowly kingdom.
15 Ejipito ekokoma mokili moko moke koleka mikili mosusu, ekomikumisa lisusu te liboso ya bikolo mosusu; nakokomisa yango moke penza mpo ete ezala lisusu na makoki te ya kokonza bikolo mosusu.
It will be the lowest among the other kingdoms, and it will no longer be exalted above the nations. And I will diminish them, lest they rule over the Gentiles.
16 Mokili ya Ejipito ekozala lisusu mpo na bana ya Isalaele mokili ya kotiela motema te, kasi ekokoma lokola ekaniseli ya masumu oyo bato na Ngai bazalaki kosala tango bazalaki koluka lisungi epai na yango. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Nkolo Yawe. › »
And they will no longer be the confidence of the house of Israel, teaching iniquity, so that they may flee and follow them. And they shall know that I am the Lord God.”
17 Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso, na mobu ya tuku mibale na sambo, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And it happened that, in the twenty-seventh year, in the first month, on the first of the month, the word of the Lord came to me, saying:
18 « Mwana na moto, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, alendisaki makasi mampinga na ye mpo na kobundisa engumba Tiri; mito ya basoda nyonso ekomaki mabandi mpe mapeka na bango elongwaki-longwaki baposo. Nzokande, ye mpe mampinga na ye batikalaki kozwa litomba ata moko te na mosala na bango ya kobundisa engumba Tiri.
“Son of man, Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, has caused his army to serve with great servility against Tyre. Every head was shaven, and every shoulder was stripped of hair. And wages have not been paid to him, nor to his army, for Tyre, for the service by which he served for me against it.
19 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakokaba Ejipito na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni; mpe ye, akobotola bomengo na yango, akozwa bomengo ya bitumba mpe akobebisa yango nyonso penza.
Because of this, thus says the Lord God: Behold, I will station Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, in the land of Egypt. And he will take its multitude, and he will prey upon its profits, and he will plunder its spoils. And this shall be the wages for his army
20 Napesi epai ya Nabukodonozori mokili ya Ejipito lokola lifuti mpo na misala na ye, pamba te ye mpe mampinga na ye basalaki mpo na Ngai, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
and for the work by which he has served against it. I have given to him the land of Egypt, because he has labored for me, says the Lord God.
21 Na mokolo wana, nakobimisa liseke mpo na libota ya Isalaele; nakofungola monoko na yo kati na bango, mpe bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »
In that day, a horn will spring forth for the house of Israel, and I will give to you an open mouth in their midst. And they shall know that I am the Lord.”
