Zechariah 2
1 I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and look, a man with a measuring line in his hand.
Natombolaki lisusu miso mpe namonaki moto moko liboso na ngai, asimbaki singa oyo bamekelaka molayi, na loboko na ye.
2 Then I asked, "Where are you going?" He said to me, "To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its breadth and what is its length."
Natunaki ye: — Ozali kokende wapi? Azongiselaki ngai: — Nazali kokende komeka molayi ya Yelusalemi mpo na koyeba mokuse mpe molayi na yango.
3 Look, the angel who talked with me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him,
Bongo Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai atikaki ngai, mpe Anjelu mosusu ayaki mpo na kokutana na ye
4 and said to him, "Run, speak to this young man, saying, 'Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and livestock in it.
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 For I,' says YHWH, 'will be to her a wall of fire around it, and I will be the glory in the midst of her.
Ngai moko, nakozala mir ya moto zingazinga na yango, » elobi Yawe, « mpe nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai kati na yango. »
6 Come. Come. Flee from the land of the north,' says YHWH; 'for I have spread you abroad as the four winds of the sky,' says YHWH.
Tokende! Tokende! Tobima noki na mokili ya nor, elobi Yawe, pamba te Ngai moko nde napanzaki bino na mokili mobimba, elobi Yawe.
7 'Come, Zion. Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon.'
Siona, tokende! Bima noki, yo oyo ovandaka na Babiloni, mboka kitoko!
8 For thus says YHWH of hosts: 'For honor he has sent me to the nations which plundered you; for he who touches you touches the apple of my 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, look, I will shake my hand over them, and they will be a spoil to those who served them; and you will know 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, daughter of Zion; for, look, I come, and I will dwell in the midst of you,' says YHWH.
Siona, mboka kitoko, ganga na esengo mpe sepela, pamba te nazali koya kovanda kati na yo, elobi Yawe.
11 Many nations shall join themselves to YHWH in that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in the midst of you, and you shall know 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 YHWH will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem.
Yawe akokomisa Yuda lokola libula na Ye moko penza kati na mabele ebulisama, mpe akopona lisusu Yelusalemi.
13 Be silent, all flesh, before YHWH; for he has roused himself 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.
