The German word "eben" can mean

- even, flat
- exactly
- just, a moment ago
- That's what I'm saying!

So,

"Eben! Eben war es noch eben, nun ist es das eben nicht!"

means

"That's what I'm saying! A moment ago, it was flat, now it absolutely isn't."

Ebenjoy our language!

Oh-oh, Google Translate says it means:

Just! It was just a moment ago, now it's not!

Gonna be in big trouble learning German from Google Translate.

Deepl.com works much better:
"Exactly! A moment ago it was even, now it is not!"
