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, in the twelfth 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 king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against all 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 say, Thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I am against you, Pharaoh king of Egypt, the great dragon that lies in the middle of his rivers, which has said, My river is my own, and I have made it for 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 put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your rivers to stick to your scales, and I will bring you up out of the middle of your rivers, and all the fish of your rivers shall stick 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 leave you thrown into the wilderness, you and all the fish of your rivers: you shall fall on the open fields; you shall not be brought together, nor gathered: I have given you for meat to the beasts of the field and to the fowls of the heaven.
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, because they have been a staff 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 by your hand, you did break, and rend all their shoulder: and when they leaned on you, you brake, and made all their loins to be at a stand.
8 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakoyeisa mopanga mpo na kobebisa yo, mpe nakoboma bato na yo mpe bibwele na bango.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will bring a sword on you, and cut off man and beast out of 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 shall be desolate and waste; and they shall know that I am the LORD: because he has 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.
Behold, therefore I am against you, and against your rivers, and I will make the land of Egypt utterly waste and desolate, from the tower of Syene even to the border of Ethiopia.
11 Ata litambe moko ya moto to ya nyama ekolekela lisusu wana te: moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna mibu tuku minei.
No foot of man shall pass through it, nor foot of beast shall pass through it, neither shall it be inhabited 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 make the land of Egypt desolate in the middle of the countries that are desolate, and her cities among the cities that are laid waste shall be desolate forty years: and I will scatter the Egyptians among the nations, and will disperse them through the countries.
13 Nzokande, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Sima na mibu tuku minei, nakosangisa bato ya Ejipito wuta na bikolo epai wapi bapalanganaki,
Yet thus says the Lord GOD; At the end of forty years will I gather the Egyptians from the people where they were 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 bring again the captivity of Egypt, and will cause them to return into the land of Pathros, into the land of their habitation; and they shall be there a base 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 shall be the basest of the kingdoms; neither shall it exalt itself any more above the nations: for I will diminish them, that they shall no more rule over the nations.
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 it shall be no more the confidence of the house of Israel, which brings their iniquity to remembrance, when they shall look after them: but 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 came to pass in the seven and twentieth year, in the first month, in the first day 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, Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyrus: every head was made bald, and every shoulder was peeled: yet had he no wages, nor his army, for Tyrus, for the service that he had served 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.
Therefore thus says the Lord GOD; Behold, I will give the land of Egypt to Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon; and he shall take her multitude, and take her spoil, and take her prey; and it 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.
I have given him the land of Egypt for his labor with which he served against it, because they worked 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 will I cause the horn of the house of Israel to bud forth, and I will give you the opening of the mouth in the middle of them; and they shall know that I am the LORD.
