< Zechariah 9 >

1 The burden of the word of the Lord in the land of Hadrach and its respite in Damascus. For the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is of the Lord.
Liloba na Yawe. Liloba na Yawe ekomi na mokili ya Adraki, ekowumela na engumba Damasi, pamba te miso ya bato mpe ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele ezali kotalela Yawe.
2 Hamath also is at its limits, and Tyre and Sidon. For, of course, they have assumed themselves to be exceedingly wise.
Tala, ekowumela lisusu likolo ya engumba Amati, na mondelo oyo ekabola yango na engumba Damasi, na engumba Tiri mpe Sidoni, atako baleki mayele.
3 And Tyre has built herself a fortress, and she has piled together silver, as if it were soil, and gold, as if it were the mud of the streets.
Engumba Tiri emitongeli yango moko ndako makasi, emibombeli palata ebele lokola putulu mpe wolo ebele lokola potopoto ya balabala.
4 Behold, the Lord will possess her, and he will strike her strength in the sea, and she will be devoured by fire.
Kasi Nkolo akobotola yango, akosukisa nguya na yango na ebale monene mpe ekozika na moto.
5 Ashkelon will see and be afraid. Both Gaza and he will be very sorrowful, as well as Ekron, because her hope has been confounded. And the king will pass away from Gaza, and Ashkelon will not be inhabited.
Engumba Ashikeloni ekomona yango mpe ekokoma kolenga; engumba Gaza ekokoma na somo makasi, ndenge moko mpe engumba Ekroni; pamba te elikya na yango ekosila. Engumba Gaza ekozangela mokonzi na yango mpe engumba Asikaloni ekotikala lisusu na bato te.
6 And the divider will sit in Ashdod, and I will scatter the arrogance of the Philistines.
Bana makangu bakoya kovanda na engumba Asidodi, mpe nakosilisa lolendo ya bato ya Filisitia.
7 And I will take away his blood from his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth, and yet he will be left for our God, and he will be like a governor in Judah, and Ekron will be like a Jebusite.
Nakolongola makila na minoko na bango, mpe bilei ya mbindo na minu na bango; kasi ba-oyo bakotikala bakokoma bato ya Nzambe na biso mpe bakambi ya Yuda; mpe bato ya engumba Ekroni bakokoma lokola bato ya Yebusi.
8 And I will encircle my house with those who serve me in war, going and returning, and the exactor will no longer pass over them. For now I have seen with my eyes.
Nakobundela ndako na Ngai liboso ya mampinga ya basoda ya nguya; monyokoli moko te akoya lisusu komonisa bato na Ngai pasi, pamba te Ngai moko nde nazali kokengela sik’oyo.
9 Rejoice well, daughter of Zion, shout for joy, daughter of Jerusalem. Behold, your King will come to you: the Just One, the Savior. He is poor and riding upon a donkey, and upon a colt, the son of a donkey.
Siona, mboka kitoko, sepela, sepela penza makasi! Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko, ganga penza na esengo! Tala, mokonzi na yo azali koya epai na yo, azali sembo mpe molongi, atonda na komikitisa, avandi na likolo ya ane, na likolo ya mwana ya ane, mwana ya ane ya mwasi.
10 And I will scatter the four-horse chariot out of Ephraim and the horse from Jerusalem, and the bow of war will be destroyed. And he will speak peace to the Gentiles, and his power will be from sea to sea, and from the rivers even to the end of the earth.
Nakolongola bashar ya bitumba na mokili ya Efrayimi, bampunda ya bitumba, na engumba Yelusalemi, mpe matolotolo ya bitumba ekobukana. Mokonzi yango akosakola kimia na bikolo nyonso, bokonzi na ye ekobanda longwa na ebale monene moko kino na mosusu, longwa na ebale kino na basuka ya mabele.
11 You, likewise, by the blood of your testimony, have sent forth your prisoners from the pit, in which there is no water.
Mpo na yo, likolo ya makila ya boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo, nakobimisa bakangami na yo na libulu oyo ezanga mayi.
12 Turn back to the fortress, prisoners of hope. Today, I also announce that I will repay you double,
Bozonga na ndako na bino, oyo batonga makasi, bino bakangami oyo botondi na elikya, pamba te nazali koloba na bino sik’oyo: « Nakozongisela bino mbala mibale biloko oyo bobungisaki. »
13 because I have stretched out Judah for myself, like a bow; I have filled Ephraim. And I will raise up your sons, Zion, above your sons, Greece. And I will set you as the sword of the strength.
Pamba te nabendi tolotolo na Ngai, oyo ezali Yuda, natie yango likonga na Ngai ya moke oyo ezali Efrayimi. Siona, nakotelemisa bana na yo ya mibali mpo ete batelemela bana mibali ya Yavani mpe nakokomisa yo lokola mopanga ya elombe.
14 And the Lord God will be seen over them, and his arrow will go forth like lightning. And the Lord God will sound the trumpet, and he will go forth into the whirlwind of the South.
Yawe akomimonisa epai na bango, mpe tolotolo na Ye ekobima lokola mokalikali. Nkolo Yawe akobeta kelelo mpe akotambola kati na mopepe makasi.
15 The Lord of hosts will protect them. And they will devour and subdue with the stones of the sling. And, when drinking, they will become inebriated, as if with wine, and they will be filled like bowls and like the horns of the altar.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akobatela bango. Bakolia mpe bakobuka mabanga ya ebambelo mabanga, bakomela mpe bakosala makelele lokola bato balangwe masanga, bakotonda lokola kopo ya makila oyo basopaka na basonge ya etumbelo.
16 And in that day, the Lord their God will save them as the flock of his people. For holy stones will be lifted up over his land.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe, Nzambe na bango, akobikisa bango ndenge mobateli bibwele abikisaka bameme na ye. Bakongenga makasi kati na mabele na Ye lokola mabanga ya talo.
17 For what is his goodness and what is his beauty, other than grain among the elect and wine springing forth virgins?
Bakozala bato ya esengo, bakokoma kitoko makasi. Ble ekopesa bilenge mibali makasi mpe vino ya sika ekopesa bilenge basi makasi.
