< Ezekieli 38 >

1 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
2 « Mwana na moto, talisa elongi na yo na ngambo ya Gogi, ya mokili ya Magogi, mokambi ya liboso ya Mesheki mpe ya Tubali! Sakola na tina ye mpo na kotelemela ye!
Son of man, set thy face against Gog, of the land of Magog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal, and prophesy against him,
3 Loba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Natombokeli yo, Gogi, mokambi ya liboso ya Mesheki mpe ya Tubali!
and say, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Behold, I am against thee, O Gog, prince of Resh, Meshech, and Tubal!
4 Nakokembisa yo, nakotia yo bibende na mbanga, nakobimisa yo elongo na basoda na yo nyonso, mpunda na yo elongo na basoda oyo babundaka likolo ya bampunda: bango nyonso balata kitoko mpe batondi ebele, bamemi banguba minene mpe ya mike mpe bayebi malamu kosalela mipanga.
And I will turn thee about, and put rings into thy jaws; and I will bring thee forth, thee and all thine army, horses and horsemen, all of them clothed in gorgeous apparel, even a great multitude with bucklers and shields, all of them handling swords.
5 Basoda ya Persi, ya Kushi mpe ya Puti, ba-oyo nyonso bamemaka banguba ya mike mpe balataka bikoti ya bibende, bakosangana na bango;
Persians, Ethiopians, and Lybians are with them, all of them with shields and helmets.
6 Gomeri mpe mampinga na ye nyonso ya basoda; libota ya Togarima, wuta na suka ya etuka ya nor, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso ya basoda, ebele ya bato ya bikolo, bakosangana na yo mpo na kosunga yo.
Gomer and all his bands, the house of Togarmah from the north quarters, and all their hosts, many nations are with thee.
7 Milengela malamu mpe bongama, yo elongo na mampinga nyonso oyo esangani na yo! Yo nde okozala mokengeli na bango.
Be prepared, and prepare for thyself, thou and all thy host that are assembled unto thee, and be thou their leader!
8 Na mikolo ekoya, okobengama mpo na kobunda; na mibu oyo ekoya, okokende kobundisa mokili oyo bavandi na yango, sima na bango kobika na mopanga, basangisaki bango kati na bikolo ebele, na likolo ya bangomba ya Isalaele, oyo ekufa mpe etikala lisusu na bato te wuta kala. Bakobima wuta na bikolo mosusu mpe bakovanda na kimia.
After many days shalt thou be appointed over them. In the latter years shalt thou come into a land that is brought back from the sword, gathered out of many nations upon the mountains of Israel, which had been long desolate; but it is brought forth out of the nations, and they shall dwell securely, all of them.
9 Yo mpe mampinga na yo nyonso, elongo na bikolo ebele oyo esanganaki na yo, bokomata mpe bokopusana lokola mopepe makasi, lokola lipata oyo ezipi mokili.
Thou shalt go up like a storm, thou shalt come like a cloud, to cover the land, thou and all thy bands, and many nations with thee.
10 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na mokolo wana, makanisi ekobotama na motema na yo mpe okosala mabongisi ya mabe.
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: At the same time shall thoughts come into thy mind, and thou shalt meditate an evil design,
11 Okoloba: ‘Nakobundisa mikili oyo ebatelama malamu te, nakokende kino epai ya bato oyo bavandaka na boboto kati na kimia, bavandaka kati na bingumba oyo ezanga bamir, ezanga bikangelo mpe bikuke;
and shalt say, “I will go up to the land of unwalled villages; I will go to them that are at rest, that dwell securely, all of them dwelling without walls, and having neither bars nor gates,
12 nakokende koyiba mpe kozwa na makasi bomengo ya bitumba. Okobalola loboko na yo mpo na kobundisa bisika oyo ebeba, bongo bato bakoma lisusu kovanda kuna, bato oyo basangisa wuta na bikolo, oyo batonda na bibwele mpe na biloko ebele, oyo bavandaka na kati-kati ya mokili oyo.’
to take a spoil and to divide a prey, to turn my hand against the desolated places that have become inhabited, and against a people gathered out of the nations, possessing cattle and goods, dwelling in the heights of the earth.”
13 Bato ya Seba, ya Dedani, bato ya mombongo ya Tarsisi, elongo na bamboka na yango nyonso ya mike bakoloba na yo: ‘Boni, oyei solo mpo na kozwa na makasi bomengo ya bitumba? Boni, osangisi mampinga na yo mpo na kobotola palata mpe komema wolo, mpo na kozwa bibwele mpe kobotola biloko to mpo na kozwa biloko ebele?’ ›
Sheba, and Dedan, and the merchants of Tarshish, and all the chiefs thereof, shall say to thee, “Art thou come to take a spoil? Hast thou gathered thy company to divide a prey? to carry away silver and gold, to take away cattle and goods, and to divide great spoil?”
14 Yango wana, mwana na moto, sakola! Loba na Gogi: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Na mokolo wana, tango bato na Ngai, Isalaele, bakovanda na kimia, boni, okoyeba yango te?
Therefore prophesy, son of man, and say to Gog, Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: In that day when my people Israel dwelleth securely, thou shalt observe it,
15 Okowuta na bisika na yo, mosika kuna na etuka ya nor, yo mpe bikolo ebele elongo na yo; bango nyonso likolo ya bampunda, bato ebele, mampinga ya basoda ebele ya nguya.
and thou shalt come up from the regions of the North, thou and many nations with thee, all of them riding upon horses, a great company, and a mighty host;
16 Okoya kobundisa libota na Ngai, Isalaele, ndenge mapata ezipaka mokili. Oh Gogi, na mikolo ekoya, nakosala ete obundisa mokili na Ngai mpo ete bikolo mosusu eyeba Ngai tango Ngai moko nakomonisa bosantu na Ngai na nzela na yo na miso na bango.
thou shalt come up against my people Israel like a cloud, to cover the land; in the latter days it shall come to pass, that I will bring thee against my land, that the nations may know me, when I shall be sanctified in regard to thee, before their eyes, O Gog!
17 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Boni, ezali yo te oyo na tina na nani nalobelaki na tango ya kala na nzela ya basali na Ngai, basakoli ya Isalaele, oyo basakolaki na tango wana, na mibu ebele, ete nakotinda yo mpo ete obundisa bato na Ngai?
Thus saith the Lord Jehovah: Art thou not he of whom I spoke in old time by my servants, the prophets of Israel, who prophesied in those days and years, that I would bring thee against them?
18 Na mokolo yango, mokolo oyo Gogi akobundisa mabele ya Isalaele, tala makambo oyo ekosalema: kanda na Ngai ekopela makasi, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
And it shall come to pass in that day, in the day when Gog shall come against the land of Israel, saith the Lord Jehovah, that my anger shall ascend in fury.
19 Na zuwa mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi, nalobi ete na tango wana, mabele ekoningana makasi kati na Isalaele.
For in my jealousy, in the fire of my wrath, have I spoken, Surely in that day there shall be a great shaking in the land of Israel,
20 Bambisi ya ebale, bandeke ya likolo, banyama ya zamba, bikelamu nyonso oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe bato nyonso oyo bazali awa na mabele bakolenga liboso na Ngai; bangomba ekopanzana, mabanga minene ekobukana mpe bamir nyonso ekokweya na mabele.
so that the fishes of the sea, and the birds of the heavens, and the beasts of the field; and every creeping thing that creepeth upon the ground, and all the men that are upon the face of the earth, shall shake at my presence; and the mountains shall be thrown down, and the steep places shall fall, and every wall shall fall to the ground.
21 Nakobengisa mopanga mpo na kobundisa Gogi, na bangomba na Ngai nyonso, elobi Nkolo Yawe. Mopanga ya moto na moto ekoboma ndeko na ye.
And I will call for a sword against him throughout all my mountains, saith the Lord Jehovah, and they shall all turn their swords against each other,
22 Nakotindela ye bokono oyo ebomaka mpe nakotangisa makila na ye lokola etumbu; nakotindela mampinga na ye mpe bikolo oyo ekosangana na ye mvula makasi, mvula ya mabanga mpe ya moto.
And I will contend against him with pestilence, and with blood; and overflowing showers, and great hailstones, fire and brimstone, will I rain upon him and his hosts, and the many nations that are with him.
23 Na nzela wana, nakomonisa monene mpe bosantu na Ngai, mpe nakosala ete bato ya bikolo ebele bayeba Ngai; boye bakoyeba solo ete Ngai, nazali Yawe. ›
Thus will I show myself in my greatness and glory, and make myself known before the eyes of many nations, and they shall know that I am Jehovah.
