Nahum 2
1 He that dashes in pieces is come up before your face: keep the fortification, watch the way, make your loins strong, fortify your power mightily.
Tala, mobebisi azali koya kosala yo mabe! Batela malamu bandako na yo batonga makasi, kengela nzela na yo, bongama mpo na bitumba mpe sangisa bato na yo.
2 For the LORD has turned away the excellency of Jacob, as the excellency of Israel: for the emptiers have emptied them out, and marred their vine branches.
Yawe akozongisa lisusu nkembo ya Jakobi mpe ya Isalaele, atako babebisaki mpe bapanzaki mokili na bango, mpe atako babebisaki bilanga na bango ya vino.
3 The shield of his mighty men is made red, the valiant men are in scarlet: the chariots shall be with flaming torches in the day of his preparation, and the fir trees shall be terribly shaken.
Banguba mpe bilamba ya basoda na bango ezali ya langi ya motane; bibende ya bashar na bango ezali kongenga na mokolo oyo babongisi mpo na bitumba, mpe makonga basala na nzete ekomi kotambola bipai na bipai.
4 The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightning.
Bashar ezali kokota na elulu na nzela, ezali kokende mpe kozonga na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka; ezali komonana lokola koni oyo ezali kopela moto, ezali kotambola na bangambo nyonso lokola mikalikali.
5 He shall recount his worthies: they shall stumble in their walk; they shall make haste to the wall thereof, and the defense shall be prepared.
Abengi basoda na ye nyonso ya mpiko. nzokande, na nzela na bango, bazali kotepatepa, bazali kokende na lombangu pene ya mir.
6 The gates of the rivers shall be opened, and the palace shall be dissolved.
Bikuke ya ebale efungwami, mpe ndako na ye ya bokonzi ebukani.
7 And Huzzab shall be led away captive, she shall be brought up, and her maids shall lead her as with the voice of doves, beating on their breasts.
Ekatami ete engumba wana ekokende na bowumbu mpe bakomema yango mosika penza; basali na yango ya basi bakolela lokola bibenga mpe bakomibeta batolo likolo ya pasi.
8 But Nineveh is of old like a pool of water: yet they shall flee away. Stand, stand, shall they cry; but none shall look back.
Na kala, engumba Ninive ezalaki lokola liziba ya mayi. Kasi tala yango lelo oyo: etoboki mpe ekomi kobimisa mayi! Bazali kobelela: « Botelema! Botelema! » Kasi ata moto moko te azongi lisusu kuna.
9 Take you the spoil of silver, take the spoil of gold: for there is none end of the store and glory out of all the pleasant furniture.
Bobotola wolo mpe palata na yango na makasi, pamba te bomengo na yango ezali penza mingi koleka mpe etonda na biloko ya motuya.
10 She is empty, and void, and waste: and the heart melts, and the knees smite together, and much pain is in all loins, and the faces of them all gather blackness.
Bakoteli yango, bapanzi yango, babotoli na makasi biloko na yango ya talo! Mitema ebukani, mabolongo ekomi kolenga, mpe banzoto etondi na somo.
11 Where is the dwelling of the lions, and the feeding place of the young lions, where the lion, even the old lion, walked, and the lion’s whelp, and none made them afraid?
Wapi sik’oyo libulu epai wapi bankosi ezalaki kobokola bana na yango? Wapi sik’oyo libulu epai wapi nkosi ya mwasi elongo na bana na yango ezalaki kotambola na somo ata moke te?
12 The lion did tear in pieces enough for his whelps, and strangled for his lionesses, and filled his holes with prey, and his dens with shred.
Nkosi ebomi banyama ebele mpo ete epesa yango lokola bilei epai ya bana na yango, ekangi nyama ya kolia mpo na mwasi na yango, bongo etondisi libulu na yango na banyama oyo ebomi mpe na misuni.
13 Behold, I am against you, says the LORD of hosts, and I will burn her chariots in the smoke, and the sword shall devour your young lions: and I will cut off your prey from the earth, and the voice of your messengers shall no more be heard.
« Nakotombokela yo, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; « nakozikisa bashar na yo na moto, mpe mopanga ekoboma bana ya nkosi na yo. Nakobotola yo misuni nyonso awa na se; boye mongongo ya batindami na yo ekotikala koyokana lisusu te. »
