< Micah 4 >

1 In the last days the mountain of the house of the LORD will be established as the chief of the mountains; it will be raised above the hills, and the peoples will stream to it.
Na mikolo oyo ekoya, ngomba ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekolendisama ngwi na songe ya bangomba, ekoleka bangomba mikuse nyonso na molayi, mpe bikolo ekokende kotondana kuna.
2 And many nations will come and say: “Come, let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob. He will teach us His ways, so that we may walk in His paths.” For the law will go forth from Zion and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Bato ya bikolo ebele bakokende kuna mpe bakoloba: « Boya, tomata na ngomba ya Yawe, na Tempelo ya Nzambe ya Jakobi! Akoteya biso banzela na Ye mpo ete tolanda banzela mike na Ye. » Pamba te Mobeko ekowuta na Siona, mpe Liloba na Yawe ekowuta na Yelusalemi.
3 Then He will judge between many peoples and arbitrate for strong nations far and wide. Then they will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will no longer take up the sword against nation, nor will they train anymore for war.
Akozala Mosambisi kati na bikolo ebele, akokata makambo ya kowelana kati na mabota ya nguya, ezala oyo ezalaka mosika. Bakotumba mipanga na bango na moto mpo na kosala bakongo, mpe makonga na bango mpo na kosala bambeli. Ekolo moko te ekotombola lisusu mopanga mpo na kobundisa ekolo mosusu, bato bakoyekola lisusu te kobunda bitumba.
4 And each man will sit under his own vine and under his own fig tree, with no one to frighten him. For the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
Moto nyonso akovanda na kimia kati na bilanga na ye ya vino mpe na se ya nzete na ye ya figi. Moto moko te akobangisa ye, pamba te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde alobi.
5 Though each of the peoples may walk in the name of his god, yet we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
Ekolo na ekolo ekotambola na kombo ya nzambe na yango, kasi biso tokotambola na Kombo na Yawe oyo azali Nzambe na biso, mpo na libela.
6 “On that day,” declares the LORD, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the outcast, even those whom I have afflicted.
« Na mokolo yango, » elobi Yawe, « Nakosangisa libota na Ngai, oyo ezali kotambola tengu-tengu; nakoyamba oyo ezalaki na bowumbu, mosika na Ngai, mpe oyo natiaki pasi likolo na yango.
7 And I will make the lame into a remnant, and the outcast into a strong nation. Then the LORD will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and forever.
Nakosala ete libota oyo ezali kotambola tengu-tengu ekoma batikali, mpe oyo bazalaki na bowumbu mosika na Ngai, libota ya nguya. Yawe akozala Mokonzi na bango, na ngomba Siona, kobanda na mokolo yango kino libela na libela.
8 And you, O watchtower of the flock, O stronghold of the Daughter of Zion— the former dominion will be restored to you; sovereignty will come to the Daughter of Jerusalem.”
Mpo na yo, ndako molayi ya bakengeli bibwele, ngomba ya Siona, mboka kitoko, bakozongisela yo bokonzi na yo ya kala, bakozongisa bokonzi ya Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko. »
9 Why do you now cry aloud? Is there no king among you? Has your counselor perished so that anguish grips you like a woman in labor?
Sik’oyo, mpo na nini ozali koganga? Boni, ozali lisusu na mokonzi te? Boni, mopesi toli na yo asili kokufa mpo ete pasi ekanga yo lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota?
10 Writhe in agony, O Daughter of Zion, like a woman in labor. For now you will leave the city and camp in the open fields. You will go to Babylon; there you will be rescued; there the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies!
Oh Siona, mboka kitoko, lela lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota! Pamba te sik’oyo, okobima na engumba mpe okovanda kati na zamba, okokende kino na Babiloni; mpe kuna, Yawe akokangola yo na maboko ya monguna na yo.
11 But now many nations have assembled against you, saying, “Let her be defiled, and let us feast our eyes on Zion.”
Kasi sik’oyo, bikolo ebele esangani mpo na kotelemela yo; bazali koloba: « Tika ete bosantu ya Siona esambwa mpe miso esepela komona kobebisama na yango! »
12 But they do not know the thoughts of the LORD or understand His plan, for He has gathered them like sheaves to the threshing floor.
Kasi bayebi makanisi na Yawe te mpe bazali kososola mabongisi na Ye te, Ye oyo asangisaki bango lokola maboke ya matiti ya ble na etando oyo batutelaka yango.
13 Rise and thresh, O Daughter of Zion, for I will give you horns of iron and hooves of bronze to break to pieces many peoples. Then you will devote their gain to the LORD, their wealth to the Lord of all the earth.
Oh Siona, mboka kitoko, telema mpe tuta ble, pamba te nakopesa yo maseke ya bibende mpe basapato ya bronze, bongo okobuka bikolo ebele mike-mike mpe okopesa bomengo na bango, oyo bazwaki na nzela ya mabe, lokola likabo epai na Yawe, mpe bozwi na bango epai na Mokonzi ya mokili mobimba.
