Ezekieli 29
1 Na mokolo ya zomi na mibale ya sanza ya zomi, na mobu ya zomi, Yawe alobaki na ngai:
In the twelfth year, in the tenth month, on the first [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 Pharao king of Egypt, and prophesy against him, and against the whole 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!’
and say, Thus says the Lord; Behold, I am against Pharao, the great dragon that lies in the midst of his rivers, that says, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
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.
And I will put hooks in your jaws, and I will cause the fish of your river to stick to your sides, and I will bring you up out of the midst of your river:
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 quickly cast down you and all the fish of your river: you shall fall on the face of the plain, and shall by no means be gathered, and shall not be brought together: I have given you for food to the wild beasts of the earth and to the fowls of the sky.
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 dwellers in Egypt shall know that I am the Lord, because you 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 with their hand, you did break: and when every hand was clapped against them, and when they leaned on you, you were utterly broken, and did crush the loins of them all.
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; Behold, I [will] bring a sword upon you, and will cut off from you man and beast;
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 ruined and desert; and they shall know that I am the Lord; because you say, The rivers are mine, and I made them.
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 all your rivers, and I will give up the land of Egypt to desolation, and the sword, and destruction, from Magdol and Syene even to the borders of the Ethiopians.
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, and no foot of beast shall pass through it, and it shall not be inhabited 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 cause her land to be utterly destroyed in the midst of a land that is desolate, and her cities shall be [desolate] forty years in the midst of cities that are desolate: and I will disperse Egypt among the nations, and will utterly scatter them into 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,
Thus says the Lord; After forty years I will gather the Egyptians from the nations among whom they have 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 turn the captivity of the Egyptians, and will cause them to dwell in the land of Phathore, in the land whence they were taken;
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.
and it shall be a base kingdom beyond all [other] kingdoms; it shall not any more be exalted over the nations; and I will make them few in number, that they may not be [great] among 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 they shall no more be to the house of Israel a confidence bringing iniquity to remembrance, when they follow after them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
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 twenty-seventh year, on 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, Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon caused his army to serve a great service against Tyre; every head was bald, and every shoulder peeled; yet there was no reward to him or to his army [serving] against Tyre, nor for the service wherewith they 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.
Thus says the Lord God; Behold, I [will] give to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon the land of Egypt, and he shall take the plunder thereof, and seize the spoils thereof; and [it] shall be a reward 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.
In return for his service wherewith he served against Tyre, I have given him the land of Egypt; thus 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 shall a horn spring forth for all the house of Israel, and I will give you an open mouth in the midst of them; and they shall know that I am the Lord.
