Zechariah 2
1 And I lift up my eyes, and look, and behold, a man, and in his hand a measuring line.
Natombolaki lisusu miso mpe namonaki moto moko liboso na ngai, asimbaki singa oyo bamekelaka molayi, na loboko na ye.
2 And I say, “To where are you going?” And he says to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see how much [is] its breadth and how much its length.”
Natunaki ye: — Ozali kokende wapi? Azongiselaki ngai: — Nazali kokende komeka molayi ya Yelusalemi mpo na koyeba mokuse mpe molayi na yango.
3 And behold, the messenger who is speaking with me is going out, and another messenger is going out to meet him,
Bongo Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai atikaki ngai, mpe Anjelu mosusu ayaki mpo na kokutana na ye
4 and he says to him, “Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem is inhabited [as] open places, From the abundance of man and beast in her midst.
mpe alobaki na ye: — Kima mbangu penza, mpe kende koloba na elenge mobali wana: « Yelusalemi ekotikala lisusu na bamir te mpo ete motango ya bato mpe ya banyama oyo bazali kati na yango ekokoma ebele koleka.
5 And I am to her—a declaration of YHWH—A wall of fire all around, And I am for glory in her midst.
Ngai moko, nakozala mir ya moto zingazinga na yango, » elobi Yawe, « mpe nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai kati na yango. »
6 Behold, and flee from the land of the north, A declaration of YHWH, For as the four winds of the heavens, I have spread you abroad, A declaration of YHWH.
Tokende! Tokende! Tobima noki na mokili ya nor, elobi Yawe, pamba te Ngai moko nde napanzaki bino na mokili mobimba, elobi Yawe.
7 Behold, Zion, be delivered who are dwelling [with] the daughter of Babylon.
Siona, tokende! Bima noki, yo oyo ovandaka na Babiloni, mboka kitoko!
8 For thus said YHWH of Hosts: He has sent Me after glory to the nations who are spoiling you, For he who is coming against you, Is coming against the pupil of His eye.
Pamba te tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo apesaki ngai mokumba ya kosakola mpo na kotelemela bikolo oyo ebotolaki bino biloko na makasi alobi: Moto nyonso oyo akosimba yo akosimba nde mbuma ya liso na Ngai.
9 For behold, I am waving My hand against them, And they have been a spoil to their servants. And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me.
Solo, nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kotelemela bango mpo ete bawumbu na bango babotola bango biloko na makasi. Na bongo nde bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai.
10 Sing, and rejoice, O daughter of Zion, For behold, I am coming, and have dwelt in your midst, A declaration of YHWH.
Siona, mboka kitoko, ganga na esengo mpe sepela, pamba te nazali koya kovanda kati na yo, elobi Yawe.
11 And many nations have been joined to YHWH in that day, And they have been to Me for a people, And I have dwelt in your midst, And you have known that YHWH of Hosts has sent Me to you.
Na mokolo wana, bato ya bikolo ebele bakoya kosangana elongo na Yawe mpe bakokoma bato na Ngai. Nakovanda kati na bino; mpe na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai epai na bino.
12 And YHWH has inherited Judah, His portion on the holy ground, And He has fixed again on Jerusalem.
Yawe akokomisa Yuda lokola libula na Ye moko penza kati na mabele ebulisama, mpe akopona lisusu Yelusalemi.
13 Hush, all flesh, because of YHWH, For He has been roused up from His holy habitation!”
Tika ete bato ya mokili mobimba bavanda kimia liboso ya Yawe, pamba te Ye moko atelemi mpe abimi na Ndako na Ye ya bule.
