< Nahum 2 >

1 He stiede up, that schal scatere bifore thee, that schal kepe bisechyng; biholde thou the weie, coumforte leendis, strengthe thou vertu greetli.
Tala, mobebisi azali koya kosala yo mabe! Batela malamu bandako na yo batonga makasi, kengela nzela na yo, bongama mpo na bitumba mpe sangisa bato na yo.
2 For as the Lord yeldide the pride of Jacob, so the pride of Israel; for distrieris scateriden hem, and distrieden the generaciouns of hem.
Yawe akozongisa lisusu nkembo ya Jakobi mpe ya Isalaele, atako babebisaki mpe bapanzaki mokili na bango, mpe atako babebisaki bilanga na bango ya vino.
3 The scheld of stronge men of hym ben firi, men of the oost ben in rede clothis; raynes of fire of chare, in the dai of his makyng redi; and the leederis therof ben asleep.
Banguba mpe bilamba ya basoda na bango ezali ya langi ya motane; bibende ya bashar na bango ezali kongenga na mokolo oyo babongisi mpo na bitumba, mpe makonga basala na nzete ekomi kotambola bipai na bipai.
4 In weies thei ben troblid togidere, cartis of foure horsis ben hurtlid togidere in stretis; the siyte of hem as laumpis, as leitis rennynge aboute.
Bashar ezali kokota na elulu na nzela, ezali kokende mpe kozonga na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka; ezali komonana lokola koni oyo ezali kopela moto, ezali kotambola na bangambo nyonso lokola mikalikali.
5 He schal bithenke of his stronge men, thei schulen falle in her weies; and swiftli thei schulen stie on the wallis therof, and schadewyng place schal be maad redi.
Abengi basoda na ye nyonso ya mpiko. nzokande, na nzela na bango, bazali kotepatepa, bazali kokende na lombangu pene ya mir.
6 Yatis of floodis ben openyd, and the temple is brokun doun to erthe.
Bikuke ya ebale efungwami, mpe ndako na ye ya bokonzi ebukani.
7 And a knyyt is led awei caitif, and the handmaidis therof schulen be dryuun sorewynge as culueris, grutchynge in her hertis.
Ekatami ete engumba wana ekokende na bowumbu mpe bakomema yango mosika penza; basali na yango ya basi bakolela lokola bibenga mpe bakomibeta batolo likolo ya pasi.
8 And Nynyue, as a cisterne of watris the watris therof; forsothe thei fledden; stonde ye, stonde ye, and there is not that schal turne ayen.
Na kala, engumba Ninive ezalaki lokola liziba ya mayi. Kasi tala yango lelo oyo: etoboki mpe ekomi kobimisa mayi! Bazali kobelela: « Botelema! Botelema! » Kasi ata moto moko te azongi lisusu kuna.
9 Rauysche ye siluer, rauysche ye gold; and there is noon ende of richessis, of alle desirable vessels.
Bobotola wolo mpe palata na yango na makasi, pamba te bomengo na yango ezali penza mingi koleka mpe etonda na biloko ya motuya.
10 It is distried, and kit, and to-rent, and herte failynge, and vnknyttinge of smale knees, and failynge in alle reynes; and the face of alle ben as blacnesse of a pot.
Bakoteli yango, bapanzi yango, babotoli na makasi biloko na yango ya talo! Mitema ebukani, mabolongo ekomi kolenga, mpe banzoto etondi na somo.
11 Where is the dwellyng of liouns, and lesewis of whelpis of liouns? To whiche citee the lioun yede, that the whelp of the lioun schulde entre thidur, and there is not that schal make aferd.
Wapi sik’oyo libulu epai wapi bankosi ezalaki kobokola bana na yango? Wapi sik’oyo libulu epai wapi nkosi ya mwasi elongo na bana na yango ezalaki kotambola na somo ata moke te?
12 The lioun took ynow to hise whelpis, and slowy to his lionessis; and fillide her dennes with prei, and his couche with raueyn.
Nkosi ebomi banyama ebele mpo ete epesa yango lokola bilei epai ya bana na yango, ekangi nyama ya kolia mpo na mwasi na yango, bongo etondisi libulu na yango na banyama oyo ebomi mpe na misuni.
13 Lo! Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis; and Y schal brenne thi cartis of foure horsis til to the hiyeste, and swerd schal ete thi smale liouns; and Y schal distrie thi prei fro the lond, and the vois of thi messangeris schulen no more be herd.
« Nakotombokela yo, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; « nakozikisa bashar na yo na moto, mpe mopanga ekoboma bana ya nkosi na yo. Nakobotola yo misuni nyonso awa na se; boye mongongo ya batindami na yo ekotikala koyokana lisusu te. »
