Ezayi 15
1 Maloba ya kosambisa mokili ya Moabi: Pamba te na butu oyo Moabi ebebisamaki, Ari kati na Moabi mpe ebebisamaki, solo, ebebisamaki kaka na butu moko! Kiri kati na Moabi mpe ebebisamaki; solo, ebebisamaki kaka na butu moko!
The prophecy concerning Moab. Yea! in the night of assault was Ar of Moab a ruin! In the night of assault was Kir of Moab a ruin!
2 Bato ya Diboni bazali komata na bisika na bango ya bule, na bisambelo na bango ya likolo ya bangomba, mpo na kolela; Moabi akomi koganga mpo na Nebo mpe Medeba. Bakokoli mito nyonso mpe bakati mandefu nyonso.
They go up to the temple, and to Dibon, to weep upon the high places; Upon Nebo and upon Medeba doth Moab howl; On every head is baldness, And every beard is shorn.
3 Balati-lati basaki na babalabala, bato nyonso bazali kolela na likolo ya mitondo ya bandako mpe na bisika oyo bato ebele bakutanaka; bazali penza kosopa mpinzoli ebele.
In their streets they gird themselves with sackcloth; On the tops of their houses and in their public walks every one howleth, And melteth away with weeping.
4 Eshiboni mpe Eleale ezali koganga makasi, mingongo ya bato na yango ezali koyokana kino na Yakatsi; yango wana, mampinga ya Moabi bazali mpe koganga mpe mitema na bango ebukani.
Heshbon and Elealah utter a cry; Even to Jahaz is their voice heard; Therefore the warriors of Moab shriek aloud; Their hearts tremble within them.
5 Nazali kolela na se ya motema mpo na Moabi, banguna na ye bazali kokima kino na Tsoari, kino na Egilati-Shelishiya; bazali komata na nzela ya Luyiti na kolela; mpe na nzela ya Oronayimi, bazali kosala matanga mpo na kobebisama na bango.
My heart crieth out for Moab, Whose fugitives wander to Zoar, to Eglath-shelishijah; For they ascend the heights of Luhith weeping, And in the way of Horonaim they raise the cry of destruction.
6 Mayi ya Nimirimi ekawuki, bongo matiti mpe esili kokawuka, matiti ya mobesu eziki-ziki nyonso mpe matiti ya kitoko ezali lisusu te.
For the waters of Nimrim are desolate; The grass is withered; the tender plant faileth; There is no green thing left.
7 Yango wana, bamemi bomengo oyo bazwaki mpe oyo babombaki na lubwaku ya banzete ya pepiliye.
Wherefore the remnant of their substance and their wealth They shall carry to the brook of willows.
8 Kolela na bango etamboli na mokili mobimba ya Moabi; koganga na bango eyokanaki kino na Egilayimi, mpe kino na mabulu ya mayi ya Elimi.
For the cry encompasseth the borders of Moab; Even to Eglaim reacheth her wailing, To Beer-Elim her howling.
9 Mayi ya Dimoni etondi na makila, kasi nakotinda lisusu pasi makasi na Dimoni: nkosi moko ekobimela bato ya Moabi oyo bakobika.
For the waters of Dimon are full of blood; For I bring new evils upon Dimon; Upon him that escapeth of Moab will I send a lion, Even upon him that remaineth in the land.
