Zechariah 13
1 At that time [it will be as though] [MET] there will be a fountain from which water flows continually to cleanse the descendants [MTY] of [King] David and [all] the [other] people in Jerusalem from the guilt of the sins that they have committed, [especially] from becoming unacceptable to me [by worshiping idols].
Na mokolo wana, etima moko ekobimisa mayi mpo na kopetola masumu mpe mbindo ya libota ya Davidi mpe ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
2 The Commander of the armies of angels says, “At that time, I will prevent [people from even mentioning] the names of the idols in their country, and no one will remember them any more. I will also expel from the land all the people who falsely claim that they are prophets [DOU].
Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nakosala ete bakombo ya banzambe ya bikeko elimwa na mokili; boye bakotikala kokanisa yango lisusu te. Nakolongola lisusu kati na mokili basakoli mpe molimo ya mbindo.
3 If someone continues to prophesy [falsely], his parents must say to him, ‘You have told lies saying that Yahweh [MTY] gave those messages to you, so you must be executed.’ [So] if someone prophesies [like that], his own father and mother must stab him [and kill him].
Boye, soki moto moko akobi kosakola, tika ete tata mpe mama oyo babota ye baloba na ye: ‹ Osengeli kokufa mpo ete olobi makambo ya lokuta na Kombo na Yawe! › Wana akozala kosakola, baboti na ye bakotobola ye na mopanga.
4 At that time, the false prophets will be ashamed [that they claimed to have received messages from me in] their visions and prophesies [that they told to people]. They will no [longer] deceive people by wearing the clothes [that prophets usually wear], clothes made of [animals’] hair.
Na mokolo wana, mosakoli moko na moko akozala na soni mpo na kosakola mpe koloba bimoniseli na ye; akokosa lisusu bato te na kolataka bilamba ya basakoli, oyo basala na bapwale.
5 [So] each of them will say, ‘I am not [really] a prophet; I am a farmer, and I have been a farmer on my land ever since I was a boy!’
Akoloba: ‹ Nazali na ngai mosakoli te; ngai nasalaka na ngai bilanga, mabele nde ezalaka libula na ngai wuta bolenge na ngai! ›
6 But someone, [seeing the wounds on one of those prophet’s bodies, will suspect that he injured himself during rituals to worship idols, and he] will ask ‘Why are those wounds on your body?’ And he [will lie, saying] ‘I was injured [when I was] at my friend’s house.’”
Soki batuni ye: ‹ Bongo bapota oyo ezali na tolo na yo ewuti wapi? › Akozongisa: ‹ Nazokaki yango kati na ndako ya balingami na ngai. ›
7 The Commander of the armies of angels says, “[My] sword [APO] must strike [the one who is like] [MET] my shepherd, the man who is (my companion/very (close/dear) to me). When the shepherd is killed, [those who are like] [MET] his sheep will scatter. [And those who are like] [MET] my little sheep will [also] be attacked [IDM].”
Oh mopanga, telema! Tika ete otelema mpo na koboma mobateli bibwele na Ngai! Tika ete oboma moninga na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Beta mobateli bibwele, mpe bameme ekopalangana. Bongo nakoboma ata bibwele ya mike.
8 Yahweh [also] says, “Two-thirds [of the people in Judah] will die [DOU]. [Only] one-third [of the people in Judah] will remain alive.
Na mokili mobimba, » elobi Yawe, « bandambo mibale ya bato kati na bandambo misato bakobebisama mpe bakokufa; mpe ndambo moko ya bato kati na bandambo misato nde bakotikala na mokili.
9 And I will test the ones that remain alive [by causing them to experience great difficulties, to find out if they will continue to worship me]. I will purify them like [MET] a man purifies gold or silver by putting it into a [very hot] fire. [Then] my people will call to me [MTY] [for help], and I will answer them. I will say [to them], ‘You are my people,’ and they will say, ‘Yahweh is our God.’”
Nakomema ndambo moko wana ya bato na moto, nakopetola bango ndenge bapetolaka palata na moto mpe nakomeka bango ndenge bamekaka wolo na moto; bakobelela Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakoyanola bango. Nakoloba na bango: ‹ Bozali bato na Ngai, › mpe bango bakoloba: ‹ Yawe azali Nzambe na biso! › »
