Zechariah 9
1 An oracle. The word of the LORD is against the land of Hadrach, and will rest upon Damascus; for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward 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 and Hamath, also, which borders on it; Tyre and Sidon, because they are very 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 Tyre built herself a stronghold, and heaped up silver like the dust, and fine gold like the mire of the streets.
Engumba Tiri emitongeli yango moko ndako makasi, emibombeli palata ebele lokola putulu mpe wolo ebele lokola potopoto ya balabala.
4 Look, the LORD will dispossess her, and he will strike her power in the sea; and she will be devoured with fire.
Kasi Nkolo akobotola yango, akosukisa nguya na yango na ebale monene mpe ekozika na moto.
5 Ashkelon will see it, and fear; Gaza also, and will writhe in agony; as will Ekron, for her expectation will be disappointed; and the king will perish 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 Foreigners will dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Bana makangu bakoya kovanda na engumba Asidodi, mpe nakosilisa lolendo ya bato ya Filisitia.
7 I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also will be a remnant for our God; and he will be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as 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 I will camp around my house against the army, that none pass through or return; and no oppressor will pass through them any more: 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 greatly, daughter of Zion. Shout, daughter of Jerusalem. Look, your king comes to you. He is righteous, and having salvation; lowly, and riding on a donkey, even on a colt, the foal 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 I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle bow will be cut off; and he will speak peace to the nations: and his dominion will be from sea to sea, and from the River to the farthest parts 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 As for you also, because of the blood of your covenant, I have set free your prisoners from the pit in which 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 to the stronghold, you prisoners of hope. Even today I declare that I will restore double to you.
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 For indeed I bend Judah as a bow for me. I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up your sons, Zion, against your sons, Greece, and will make you like the sword of a mighty man.
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 The LORD will be seen over them; and his arrow will go forth like lightning; and the LORD will blow the trumpet, and will go with whirlwinds 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 defend them; and they will destroy and overcome with sling stones; and they will drink, and roar as through wine; and they will be filled like bowls, like the corners 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 The LORD their God will save them in that day as the flock of his people; for they are like the jewels of a crown, lifted on high 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 how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty. Grain will make the young men flourish, and new wine the virgins.
Bakozala bato ya esengo, bakokoma kitoko makasi. Ble ekopesa bilenge mibali makasi mpe vino ya sika ekopesa bilenge basi makasi.
