Ezekieli 30

1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:

Another message from the Lord came to me, saying,

2 « Mwana na moto, sakola! Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Bolela mpe boloba: ‘Mawa mpo na mokolo wana!’

“Son of man, prophesy and announce that this is what the Lord God says: Weep! This is a terrible day!

3 Pamba te mokolo yango ekomi pene; mokolo ya Yawe ekomi pene, mokolo ya mapata, tango ya molili mpo na bikolo.

The day is soon coming—the Day of the Lord is near. It will be a gloomy, cloudy day, a time of judgment for the nations.

4 Mopanga ekotelemela Ejipito, mpe somo makasi ekokanga mokili ya Kushi. Tango bato bakokufa na Ejipito, bakomema bomengo na yango mosika mpe miboko na yango ekobukana.

A sword will come to attack Egypt, and there will be anguish in Cush when people are killed in Egypt, when it's robbed of its wealth and the country ruined.

5 Kushi, Puti, Ludi, Arabi mobimba, Libi mpe bato ya mokili ya boyokani bakokufa na mopanga nzela moko na bato ya Ejipito.

Cush, Put, and Lud, and many other peoples, as well as Arabia, Kub, and the people of the promised land, they all, like Egypt, will be killed by the sword.

6 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Bikolo oyo esanganaki na Ejipito ekokweya mpe makasi oyo etielaka lolendo ekosila. Kobanda na Migidoli kino na Siene, bakokweya na mopanga elongo na Ejipito, elobi Nkolo Yawe.

This is what the Lord says: Egypt's allies will fall, and the country will lose its prestigious position. From Migdol in the north to Syene in the south, they will be killed by the sword, declares the Lord God.

7 Ejipito ekotikala lisusu na bato te kati na mikili oyo etikala na bato te, mpe bingumba na yango ekokoma ebeba kati na bingumba oyo ebeba.

Egypt will become more of a wasteland than any other country, and its towns will be left in ruins.

8 Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakokitisa moto kati na Ejipito mpe nakosukisa nguya nyonso ya basungi na yango.

Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord when I set fire to Egypt and all its allies are crushed.

9 Na mokolo wana, bato oyo nakotinda bakokende na nzela ya masuwa mpo na kobundisa Kushi oyo ezali na yango na kimia. Somo makasi ekokanga bango na mokolo ya etumbu ya Ejipito; mpe mokolo yango ekomi solo pene.

At that time I will send messengers in ships to shock Cush out of its sense of security. They will tremble in fear when disasters hit Egypt. Watch out! It's definitely coming!

10 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakosukisa nguya ya mampinga ya Ejipito na nzela ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni.

This is what the Lord God says: I will use Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to take away Egypt's wealth.

11 Ye elongo na mampinga na ye ya basoda oyo baleki kanza kati na mampinga ya bikolo, bakoya kobebisa mokili. Bakobundisa Ejipito na mipanga na bango mpe bakotondisa mokili na bibembe.

He and his army from the cruelest nation in the world will be brought to destroy the country. They will use their swords to attack Egypt, and they will fill the land with dead bodies.

12 Nakokawusa miluka ya Nili mpe nakokaba mokili epai ya bato mabe; nakobebisa mokili mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango na nzela ya maboko ya bapaya. Ezali Ngai Yawe nde nalobi.

I will dry up the rivers and sell the land to wicked people. Using these foreigners I will ruin the land and everything in it. I the Lord have spoken.

13 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakobebisa banzambe ya bikeko mpe nakosala ete bato batika kosambela bililingi kati na Mefisi. Moto moko te lisusu akozala mokambi kati na Ejipito, mpe nakoyeisa somo kati na Ejipito mobimba.

This is what the Lord God says: I'm going to destroy the idols and get rid of the images in Memphis. There won't be a prince in Egypt any longer, and I will make everyone in the country terrified.

14 Nakobebisa engumba Patrosi, nakotia moto kati na engumba Tsoani mpe nakopesa etumbu na engumba Tebesi.

I will destroy Pathros, set Zoan on fire, and punish Thebes.

15 Nakopelisela engumba Sini, ndako batonga makasi ya Ejipito, kanda na Ngai; mpe nakoboma ebele ya bavandi ya engumba Tebesi.

I will pour out my wrath on Pelusium, Egypt's fortress town, and wipe out the army at Thebes.

16 Nakotia moto kati na Ejipito; engumba Sini ekotonda na pasi. Tebesi ekokoma na madusu ebele mpe banguna bakokota kati na Mefisi na moyi makasi, mpo na kobebisa yango.

I will set fire to Egypt, Pelusium will suffer, Thebes will be ripped apart, and Memphis will face trouble every day.

17 Bilenge mibali ya bingumba Eliopolisi mpe Pi-Beseti bakokufa na mopanga, mpe bingumba yango ekokende na bowumbu.

The young soldiers of Heliopolis and Bubastis will fall by the sword, and the people from those towns will be taken captive.

18 Na Takipenesi, mokolo ekokoma molili tango nakobuka ekangiseli ya Ejipito; mpe kuna, makasi na yango oyo etielaka lolendo ekosila; mapata ekozipa engumba Takipenesi mpe bamboka na yango ya mike ekokende na bowumbu.

It will be a dark day in Tahpanhes when I break Egypt's power and bring to an end their proud strength. It will be under a cloud as the people go into captivity.

19 Nakopesa Ejipito etumbu; mpe bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. › »

This is how I'm going to punish Egypt, and they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”

20 Na mokolo ya sambo ya sanza ya liboso, na mobu ya zomi na moko, Yawe alobaki na ngai:

On the seventh day of the first month of the eleventh year, a message from the Lord came to me, saying,

21 « Mwana na moto, tala; nabukaki loboko ya Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito! Moto moko te azali kosalisa yango to mpe kotia yango kisi mpo ete ekoka lisusu kozwa makasi ya kosimba mopanga.

“Son of man, I have broken the arm of Pharaoh king of Egypt. You can see that it hasn't been bandaged up to heal it, or put it in a splint to provide enough strength to hold a sword.

22 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Natelemeli Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; nakobuka maboko na ye nyonso mibale: ezala loboko oyo ya malamu to loboko oyo ebukana; mpe nakosala ete mopanga ekweya longwa na loboko na ye.

So this is what the Lord God says: Watch out, because I'm condemning Pharaoh king of Egypt! I will break his arms, both the one that's still good and the one already broken, and I will make him drop his sword.

23 Nakopanza mpe nakopalanganisa bato ya Ejipito kati na bikolo mpe mikili mosusu.

I will scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries.

24 Nakolendisa maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe nakotia mopanga na Ngai kati na loboko na ye. Kasi nakobuka maboko ya Faraon, mpe akokoma kolela liboso na ye lokola moto oyo azoki pota monene.

I will make the arms of the king of Babylon strong, and put my sword in his hand, but I will break Pharaoh's arms, and he will moan in pain like someone who's about to die.

25 Nakolendisa maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, kasi maboko ya Faraon ekolemba. Boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe, tango nakotia mopanga na Ngai kati na loboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo akobundisa na yango Ejipito.

I will make the arms of Babylon's king strong, but Pharaoh's arms will drop to his sides, weak and useless. Then they will acknowledge that I am the Lord, when I put my sword in the hand of the king of Babylon and he uses it to attack Egypt.

26 Nakopanza mpe nakopalanganisa bato ya Ejipito kati na bikolo mpe mikili mosusu; boye, bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. »

When I scatter the Egyptians among the different nations and countries, they will acknowledge that I am the Lord.”
