Joel 3
1 “For behold, in those days, and in that time, When I turn back [to] the captivity of Judah and Jerusalem,
« Na mikolo mpe na tango wana, tango nakozongisa bakangami ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi,
2 Then I have gathered all the nations, And caused them to go down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, And I have been in judgment with them there, Concerning My people and My inheritance—Israel, Whom they scattered among nations, And My land they have apportioned.
nakosangisa bato ya bikolo nyonso mpe nakokitisa bango na lubwaku ya Jozafati. Nakosambisa bango kuna na tina na libula na Ngai, Isalaele, bato na Ngai; pamba te bapanzi bato na Ngai kati na bikolo mpe bakaboli mokili na Ngai.
3 And for My people they cast a lot, And they give the young man for a harlot, And have sold the young woman for wine, That they may drink.
Babeti zeke mpo na kokabola bato na Ngai, bapesi bilenge mibali basi ya ndumba, bateki bilenge basi mpo na kozwa kaka vino, mpe balangwe yango.
4 And also, what [are] you to Me, O Tyre and Sidon, And all circuits of Philistia? Are you rendering repayment to Me? And if you are giving repayment to Me, Swiftly, quickly, I return your repayment on your head.
Eh bongo bino, Tiri mpe Sidoni, bituka ya bato ya Filisitia, likambo nini lisusu kati na Ngai mpe bino? Bolingi kozongisela Ngai mabe to kotombokela Ngai? Soki yango nde ezali makanisi na bino, Ngai nde nasengeli kozongisela bino mabe na lombangu.
5 In that My silver and My gold you took, And My desirable things that are good, You have brought into your temples.
Pamba te bozwaki palata mpe wolo na Ngai, bomengo na Ngai ya motuya makasi mpe bomemaki yango na batempelo na bino.
6 And sons of Judah, and sons of Jerusalem, You have sold to the sons of Javan, To put them far off from their border.
Botekaki bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi epai ya Bagreki mpo na komema bango mosika ya mokili na bango.
7 Behold, I am stirring them up out of the place To where you have sold them, And I have turned back your repayment on your head,
Ngai moko nakopesa bango makasi mpo ete babima na bisika nyonso epai wapi botekaki bango.
8 And have sold your sons and your daughters Into the hand of the sons of Judah, And they have sold them to Sabeans, To a nation far off, for YHWH has spoken.”
Nakoteka bana na bino ya mibali mpe ya basi epai ya bato ya Yuda, mpe bango bakoteka bango epai ya bato ya Sabe, ekolo ya mosika penza, » elobi Yawe.
9 Proclaim this among nations, Sanctify a war, stir up the mighty ones, Come near, come up, let all the men of war.
« Bosakola likambo oyo kati na bikolo: Bobulisa mampinga mpo na bitumba! Bolamusa bilombe! Tika ete bilombe nyonso ya bitumba bapusana mpe baya!
10 Beat your plowshares to swords, And your pruning-hooks to javelins, Let the weak say, “I [am] mighty.”
Bosala mipanga, na nzela ya bakongo na bino; mpe makonga, na nzela ya bipasola na bino! Tika ete moto na bolembu aloba: ‹ Nazali makasi. ›
11 Hurry, and come in, all you nations around, And be gathered together, There cause to come down, O YHWH, Your mighty ones.
Bino bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga, boya na lombangu mpe bosangana! Oh Yawe, kitisa bilombe na Yo!
12 “Let the nations wake and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, For there I sit to judge all the nations around.
Tika ete bikolo nyonso elamuka mpe emata kino na lubwaku ya Jozafati! Pamba te kuna nde nakovanda mpo na kosambisa bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga.
13 Send forth a sickle, For harvest has ripened, Come in, come down, for the press has been filled, Winepresses have overflowed, For great [is] their wickedness.”
Bosimba bambeli, pamba te bambuma eteli. Boya, bokamola bambuma ya vino, pamba te ekamolelo etondi, banzungu etondi, mabe na bango eleki ndelo.
14 Multitudes, multitudes [are] in the Valley of Decision, For near [is] the Day of YHWH in the Valley of Decision.
Bato bazali ebele, ebele penza, na lubwaku ya kosambisama. Mokolo ya Yawe ekomi pene, na lubwaku ya kosambisama.
15 Sun and moon have been black, And stars have gathered up their shining.
Sanza mpe moyi ekoyinda, minzoto ekongenga lisusu te.
16 And YHWH roars from Zion, And gives forth His voice from Jerusalem, And the heavens and earth have shaken, And YHWH [is] a refuge to His people, And a stronghold to sons of Israel.
Wuta na Siona, Yawe akoloba makasi; wuta na Yelusalemi, akoloba na mongongo makasi lokola kake; Lola mpe mabele ekoningana. Kasi Yawe akozala ekimelo mpo na bato na Ye, engumba batonga makasi mpo na bana ya Isalaele.
17 “And you have known that I [am] your God YHWH, Dwelling in Zion, My holy mountain, And Jerusalem has been holy, And strangers do not pass over into it again.”
Boye, bokoyeba solo ete Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bino; navandaka na Siona, ngomba na Ngai ya bule. Yelusalemi ekozala engumba ya bule, bapaya bakolekela lisusu wana te.
18 And it has come to pass in that day, The mountains drop down juice, And the hills flow [with] milk, And all streams of Judah go [with] water, And a fountain from the house of YHWH goes forth, And has watered the Valley of Shittim.
Na mokolo wana, bangomba ekotangisa vino ya sika, mpe miliki ekotanga na bangomba mikuse. Miluka nyonso ya Yuda ekotonda na mayi, etima moko ya mayi ekobima wuta na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ekosopela lubwaku ya banzete ya akasia mayi.
19 “Egypt becomes a desolation, And Edom becomes a desolation, a wilderness, For violence [to] sons of Judah, Whose innocent blood they shed in their land.
Kasi mokili ya Ejipito ekobebisama, mokili ya Edomi ekokoma esobe mpo na makambo mabe oyo basalaki epai ya bato ya Yuda, pamba te basopaki makila ya bato ya Yuda na mabele na bango, atako basalaki mabe te.
20 And Judah dwells for all time, And Jerusalem to generation and generation.
Bato bakokoma kovanda na mokili ya Yuda mpo na libela, mpe na engumba Yelusalemi, libela na libela.
21 And I have declared their blood innocent, [That] I did not declare innocent, And YHWH is dwelling in Zion!”
Nakopetola bino mpo na ngambo ya makila, mpo ete nanu napetola bino te. »
