Ezayi 10
1 Mawa na bato oyo basalaka mibeko ezanga bosembo, na ba-oyo bakomaka mibeko oyo enyokolaka bato!
Woe vnto them that decree wicked decrees, and write grieuous things,
2 Bapimelaka bato pamba bosembo mpe babotolaka makoki ya babola, mpo na kobotola biloko ya basi bakufisa mibali mpe ya bana bitike.
To keepe backe ye poore from iudgement, and to take away the iudgement of the poore of my people, that widowes may be their pray, and that they may spoyle the fatherlesse.
3 Bokosala nini na mokolo ya kosambisama, tango pasi ekowuta mosika? Bokokimela epai ya nani mpo ete asunga bino? Esika nini bokobomba bomengo na bino?
What will ye doe nowe in the day of visitation, and of destruction, which shall come from farre? to whom will ye flee for helpe? and where will ye leaue your glorie?
4 Eloko kaka bokotikala na yango: kokitisa elongi na se elongo na bato ya boloko to kokufa elongo na bato oyo babomi. Kasi atako bongo, kanda ya Yawe ekitaki kaka te, loboko na Ye etikalaki kaka ya kosembolama.
Without me euery one shall fall among them that are bound, and they shall fall downe among the slayne: yet for all this his wrath is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
5 Mawa na Asiri, lingenda ya kanda na Ngai; nzete oyo ezali na loboko na ye ezali nde esalelo ya kanda na Ngai!
O Asshur, the rodde of my wrath: and the staffe in their hands is mine indignation.
6 Natindi ye mpo ete atelemela ekolo oyo eyebi Yawe te mpe bato oyo bapesaka Ngai kanda, mpo ete abebisa mpe abotola biloko na bango mpe anyata bango lokola potopoto ya balabala.
I will sende him to a dissembling nation, and I will giue him a charge against the people of my wrath to take the spoyle and to take the pray, and to treade them vnder feete like the mire in the streete.
7 Kasi mokonzi ya Asiri amonaka yango bongo te, akanisaka yango bongo te; akanisaka kaka koboma mpe kobebisa bikolo ebele.
But he thinketh not so, neither doeth his heart esteeme it so: but he imagineth to destroy and to cut off not a fewe nations.
8 Azali koloba: « Boni, bakambi na ngai bazali bango nyonso ndenge moko na bakonzi te?
For he sayeth, Are not my princes altogether Kings?
9 Engumba Kalino ekweyaki te lokola engumba Karikemishi? Engumba Amati, lokola engumba Aripadi te? Engumba Samari, lokola engumba Damasi te?
Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
10 Soki loboko na Ngai esukisaki bikolo oyo esambelaka banzambe ya bikeko, bikolo oyo ezalaki na banzambe ya bikeko ebele koleka Yelusalemi mpe Samari,
Like as mine hand hath founde the kingdomes of the idoles, seeing their idoles were aboue Ierusalem, and aboue Samaria:
11 nakokoka te penza kosala Yelusalemi elongo na banzambe na yango ya bikeko ndenge nasalaki Samari mpe banzambe na yango ya bikeko? »
Shall not I, as I haue done to Samaria, and to the idoles thereof, so doe to Ierusalem and to the idoles thereof?
12 Tango Yawe akosilisa mosala na Ye ya kotelemela ngomba Siona mpe Yelusalemi, akoloba: « Nakopesa etumbu na mokonzi ya Asiri mpo na lolendo ya motema na ye mpe mpo na lofundu ya etaleli na ye.
But when the Lord hath accomplished all his worke vpon mount Zion and Ierusalem, I will visite the fruite of the proude heart of the King of Asshur, and his glorious and proud lookes,
13 Pamba te azalaki koloba: ‹ Nazalaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso na makasi mpe na bwanya na ngai moko, pamba te nazali mayele; napusaki bandelo ya bikolo, nabotolaki bomengo na bango lokola elombe, nalongaki bakonzi na bango.
Because he said, By ye power of mine owne hand haue I done it, and by my wisdome, because I am wise: therefore I haue remooued the borders of the people, and haue spoyled their treasures, and haue pulled downe the inhabitants like a valiant man.
14 Loboko na ngai ekamataki bomengo na bango ndenge bakamataka zala ya ndeke; mpe ndenge bato balokotaka maki batika, ndenge wana mpe ngai nalokotaki mokili mobimba: moko te eningisaki lipapu to efungolaki monoko mpo na kobeta piololo. › »
And mine hand hath found as a nest the riches of the people, and as one gathereth egges that are left, so haue I gathered all the earth: and there was none to mooue the wing or to open the mouth, or to whisper.
15 Boni, epasola ekoki solo komimatisa liboso ya moto oyo asalelaka yango; si ya mabaya ekoki solo komikumisa liboso ya moto oyo asalelaka yango? Bosila komona fimbu koningisa moto oyo asalelaka yango to etape ya nzete kotombola nzete na yango?
Shall the axe boast it selfe against him that heweth therewith? or shall the sawe exalt it selfe against him that moueth it? as if the rod shoulde lift vp it selfe against him that taketh it vp, or the staffe should exalt it selfe, as it were no wood.
16 Yango wana Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akotindela basoda na ye ya mbinga bokono oyo ekondisaka nzoto. Na se ya nkembo na Ye, bakopelisa moto lokola fulu ya moto.
Therefore shall the Lord God of hostes send amog his fat men, leannes, and vnder his glorie he shall kindle a burning, like the burning of fire.
17 Pole ya Isalaele ekokoma moto, Mosantu ya Isalaele akopela lokola moto; kaka na mokolo moko, akotumba mpe akozikisa basende mpe banzube ya Asiri,
And the light of Israel shalbe as a fire, and the Holy one thereof as a flame, and it shall burne, and deuoure his thornes and his briers in one day:
18 akozikisa nye bazamba na yango ya minene mpe bilanga na yango ya kitoko ndenge mobeli akondaka.
And shall consume the glory of his forest, and of his fruitfull fieldes both soule and flesh: and he shalbe as ye fainting of a standard bearer.
19 Kati na bazamba na yango, ekotikala kaka banzete moke oyo ata mwana moke akokoka kotanga motango na yango.
And the rest of the trees of his forest shalbe fewe, that a childe may tell them.
20 Na mokolo wana, batikali ya Isalaele mpe bato ya libota ya Jakobi oyo bakobika bakomipesa lisusu te na maboko ya moto oyo azalaki kobeta bango; kasi bakomipesa na solo epai na Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele.
And at that day shall the remnant of Israel, and such as are escaped of the house of Iaakob, stay no more vpon him that smote them, but shall stay vpon ye Lord, ye Holy one of Israel in trueth.
21 Ndambo ya bakitani ya Jakobi bakozonga epai ya Nzambe na nguya.
The remnant shall returne, euen the remnant of Iaakob vnto the mightie God.
22 Oh Isalaele, ata bato na yo bazali ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, ndambo kaka nde bakozonga; pamba te Nzambe azwi mokano ya kobebisa bato, akomema bosembo lokola mpela.
For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, yet shall the remnant of them returne. The consumption decreed shall ouerflow with righteousnesse.
23 Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokokisa kobebisama oyo akanaki mpo na mokili mobimba.
For the Lord God of hostes shall make the consumption, euen determined, in the middes of all the land.
24 Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Oh bato na Ngai, bino oyo bovandi kati na Siona, bozala na somo te ya bato ya Asiri oyo bazali kobeta bino fimbu mpe kotombola nzete mpo na kobeta bino ndenge bato ya Ejipito bazalaki kosala.
Therefore thus saith ye Lord God of hostes, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of Asshur: he shall smite thee with a rod, and shall lift vp his staffe against thee after the maner of Egypt:
25 Kala mingi te, kanda na Ngai epai na bino ekosila mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi ekobalukela bango mpo na kobebisa bango. »
But yet a very litle time, and the wrath shall be consumed, and mine anger in their destruction.
26 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akotombola fimbu mpo na kobeta Asiri ndenge abetaki Madiani na libanga ya Orebi. Mpe lisusu, akotombola nzete na Ye likolo ya ebale monene lokola na Ejipito.
And ye Lord of hostes shall raise vp a scourge for him, according to the plague of Midian in the rocke Oreb: and as his staffe was vpon the Sea, so he will lift it vp after the maner of Egypt.
27 Na mokolo wana, bakolongola mokumba na likolo ya mapeka na bino mpe na ekangiseli na bakingo na bino. Tango mokumba yango ekolongwa, ekotika esika na bomengo.
And at that day shall his burden be taken away from off thy shoulder, and his yoke from off thy necke: and the yoke shalbe destroied because of the anoynting.
28 Tala bango wana bazali koya na Ayati, bazali koleka na lubwaku ya Migironi, babombi biloko na bango na Mikimasi.
He is come to Aiath: he is passed into Migron: at Michmash shall he lay vp his armour.
29 Baleki kati na bangomba mpe balobi: « Tokotonga molako mpe tokolekisa butu na Geba. » Bato ya Rama bakomi kolenga na somo, mpe bato ya Gibea, engumba ya mokonzi Saulo, bakimi.
They haue gone ouer the foorde: they lodged in the lodging at Geba: Ramah is afraide: Gibeah of Saul is fled away.
30 Oh bato ya Galimi, boganga makasi! Oh Layisi, sala keba! Oh engumba Anatoti, mawa na yo!
Lift vp thy voyce, O daughter Gallim, cause Laish to heare, O poore Anathoth.
31 Bato ya Madimena bakimi, bato ya Gebimi bazali koluka ekimelo;
Madmenah is remoued: the inhabitants of Gebim haue gathered themselues together.
32 Na mokolo ya lelo, bakotelema na Nobi, bakobeta makofi na bango na ngomba Siona, mboka kitoko, mpe na ngomba moke ya Yelusalemi.
Yet there is a time that he will stay at Nob: he shall lift vp his hand towarde the mount of the daughter Zion, the hill of Ierusalem.
33 Tala, Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokata bitape ya banzete na nguya monene, akokata banzete milayi mpe oyo eleki milayi, akokomisa yango mikuse.
Beholde, the Lord God of hostes shall cut off the bough with feare, and they of high stature shalbe cut off, and the hie shalbe humbled.
34 Akokata na epasola banzete nyonso kati na zamba: Libani ekokweya liboso ya Elombe.
And he shall cut away the thicke places of the forest with yron, and Lebanon shall haue a mightie fall.
