Joel 3
1 "For, look, in those days, and in that time, when I restore the fortunes of Judah and Jerusalem,
« Na mikolo mpe na tango wana, tango nakozongisa bakangami ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi,
2 I will gather all nations, and will bring them down into the Valley of Jehoshaphat; and I will execute judgment on them there for my people, and for my heritage, Israel, whom they have scattered among the nations. They have divided my land,
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 have cast lots for my people, and have given a boy for a prostitute, and sold a girl 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 "Yes, and what are you to me, Tyre, and Sidon, and all the regions of Philistia? Will you repay me? And if you repay me, I will swiftly and speedily return your repayment on your own 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 Because you have taken my silver and my gold, and have carried my finest treasures 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 have sold the people of Judah and the people of Jerusalem to the people of the Greeks, that you may remove them far from their border.
Botekaki bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi epai ya Bagreki mpo na komema bango mosika ya mokili na bango.
7 Look, I will stir them up out of the place where you have sold them, and will return your repayment on your own head;
Ngai moko nakopesa bango makasi mpo ete babima na bisika nyonso epai wapi botekaki bango.
8 and I will sell your sons and your daughters into the hands of the people of Judah, and they will sell them to the men of Sheba, to a faraway nation, for the LORD has spoken it."
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 the nations: "Prepare for war. Stir up the mighty men. Let all the warriors draw near. Let them come up.
« 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 into swords, and your pruning hooks into spears. Let the weak say, 'I am strong.'
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, all you surrounding nations, and gather yourselves together." Cause your mighty ones to come down there, LORD.
Bino bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga, boya na lombangu mpe bosangana! Oh Yawe, kitisa bilombe na Yo!
12 "Let the nations arouse themselves, and come up to the Valley of Jehoshaphat; for there will I sit to judge all the surrounding nations.
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 Put in the sickle; for the harvest is ripe. Come, tread, for the winepress is full, the vats overflow, for their wickedness is great."
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 in the valley of decision. For the day of the LORD is near, in the valley of decision.
Bato bazali ebele, ebele penza, na lubwaku ya kosambisama. Mokolo ya Yawe ekomi pene, na lubwaku ya kosambisama.
15 The sun and the moon are darkened, and the stars withdraw their shining.
Sanza mpe moyi ekoyinda, minzoto ekongenga lisusu te.
16 The LORD will roar from Zion, and thunder from Jerusalem; and the heavens and the earth will shake; but the LORD will be a refuge to his people, and a stronghold to the children 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 "So you will know that I am the LORD your God, who dwells in Zion, my holy mountain. Then Jerusalem will be holy, and no strangers will pass through her any more.
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 It will happen in that day, that the mountains will drop down sweet wine, the hills will flow with milk, all the brooks of Judah will flow with waters, and a fountain will come forth from the house of the LORD, and will water 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 will be a desolation, and Edom will be a desolate wilderness, for the violence done to the people of Judah, because they have shed innocent blood 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 But Judah will be inhabited forever, and Jerusalem from generation to generation.
Bato bakokoma kovanda na mokili ya Yuda mpo na libela, mpe na engumba Yelusalemi, libela na libela.
21 And I will pardon their bloodguilt, which I have not pardoned, for the LORD dwells in Zion."
Nakopetola bino mpo na ngambo ya makila, mpo ete nanu napetola bino te. »
