Ezayi 19
1 Maloba ya Yawe mpo na kosambisa Ejipito: Tala, Yawe amati likolo ya mapata oyo ekendaka mbangu, azali koya na Ejipito. Banzambe ya bikeko ya Ejipito ezali kolenga liboso na Ye mpe mitema ya bato ya Ejipito elembi-lembi kati na bango.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, Jehovah rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh to Egypt; and the idols of Egypt are moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt melteth in the midst of it.
2 « Nakosala ete bato ya Ejipito batelemelana bango na bango: ndeko akobundisa ndeko na ye, moninga akobundisa moninga na ye, engumba moko ekobundisa engumba mosusu, mpe mboka moko ekobundisa mboka mosusu.
And I will incite the Egyptians against the Egyptians; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, kingdom against kingdom.
3 Bato ya Ejipito bakosila mayele, mpe nakobebisa mabongisi na bango nyonso; bakokende kotuna toli epai ya banzambe ya bikeko, epai ya milimo ya bakufi, epai ya bato oyo basololaka na milimo ya bakufi mpe epai ya bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya.
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst of it, and I will destroy the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols and unto the conjurers, and unto the necromancers, and unto the soothsayers.
4 Nakokaba bato ya Ejipito na maboko ya bakonzi ya mitema mabe, mpe mokonzi moko ya kanda makasi akokonza bango, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord, and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
5 Mayi ya ebale monene ekokita, mpe mayi ya ebale ekosila mpe ekokawuka.
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up;
6 Mayi ya miluka ekokoma solo, mayi ya Ejipito ekokita mpe ekokawuka. Mpe lisusu, banzete oyo ebotaka na mayi ekokawuka,
and the rivers shall stink, and the streams of Egypt shall be diminished and drain away: the reeds and sedges shall wither.
7 elongo na matiti oyo ezalaka pembeni ya Nili, na monoko ya ebale. Milona nyonso ya bilanga oyo ebotaka pembeni ya Nili ekokawuka mpe ekopumbwa na mopepe, eloko moko te ekotikala.
The meadows by the Nile, on the banks of the Nile, and everything sown by the Nile, shall be dried up, be driven away, and be no [more].
8 Balobi mbisi bakonyokwama mpe bakokoma kolela, bato nyonso oyo babwakaka ndobo mpe minyama na ebale Nili bakokoma na pasi.
And the fishers shall mourn, and all they that cast fish-hook into the Nile shall lament, and they that spread net upon the waters shall languish.
9 Bato oyo basalaka lino bakokufa soni ya makasi, mpe bato oyo batongaka bilamba bakotonda na mawa.
And they that work in fine flax, and they that weave white stuffs shall be ashamed.
10 Bato oyo basimbaka mokili bakokweya, mpe basali nyonso bakolemba nzoto.
And her pillars shall be broken in pieces, and all workers for hire shall be sad of soul.
11 Bakambi ya Tsoani bakomi penza lokola bazoba, bato ya bwanya ya Faraon bakomi kopesa batoli oyo ezanga tina. Ndenge nini bokoki penza koloba na Faraon: « Ngai, nazali moko kati na bato ya bwanya, moyekoli ya bakonzi ya kala? »
They are but fools, the princes of Zoan, the wise counsellors of Pharaoh: [their] counsel is become senseless. How say ye unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Wapi sik’oyo bato na yo ya bwanya? Tika ete balakisa yo mpe basosolisa yo makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abongisaki mpo na kotelemela Ejipito.
Where are they then, thy wise [men]? Let them now tell thee, and let them make known what Jehovah of hosts hath purposed upon Egypt.
13 Bakambi ya Tsoani bakomi lokola bazoba, bakambi ya Mefisi bakomi kokanisa makambo ya lokuta; nzokande bango, makonzi ya bikolo ya bato ya Ejipito, nde bazali kobungisa bato ya Ejipito nzela.
The princes of Zoan are become foolish, the princes of Noph are deceived; and the corner-stones of its tribes have caused Egypt to err.
14 Yawe atindeli bango molimo ya kizunguzungu: bango nde basalaki ete Ejipito ekoma kotenga-tenga na misala na yango nyonso ndenge moto oyo alangwe masanga atengaka-tengaka.
Jehovah hath mingled a spirit of perverseness in the midst thereof; and they have caused Egypt to err in every work thereof, as a drunkard staggereth in his vomit.
15 Eloko moko te ekosalema lisusu na Ejipito, ezala na moto to na mokila, na lindalala ya nzete ya mbila to na nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi.
Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
16 Na mokolo wana, bato ya Ejipito bakokoma lokola basi. Bakolenga na somo na koningana ya loboko oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, atomboli mpo na kotelemela bango.
In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Jehovah of hosts, which he shaketh over it.
17 Bongo mokili ya Yuda ekolengisa bato ya Ejipito na somo. Tango nyonso bakoyoka kombo ya Yuda, bakolenga na somo mpo na mabongisi nyonso oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asalaki mpo na kotelemela bango.
And the land of Judah shall be a dismay unto Egypt: every one that thinketh of it shall be afraid for himself, because of the counsel of Jehovah of hosts, which he hath purposed against it.
18 Na mokolo wana, bingumba mitano kati na Ejipito ekokoma koloba lokota ya Bayuda mpe kolapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. Bongo moko kati na yango ekobenga yango: Engumba ya moyi.
In that day shall there be five cities in the land of Egypt speaking the language of Canaan, and swearing by Jehovah of hosts: one shall be called, The city of Heres.
19 Na mokolo wana, bakotonga etumbelo moko na kati-kati ya Ejipito mpe bakotia likonzi moko lokola ekaniseli mpo na Yawe, na bandelo ya mokili.
In that day shall there be an altar to Jehovah in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to Jehovah:
20 Ekozala lokola elembo mpe litatoli mpo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, na mokili ya Ejipito. Tango bakoganga epai na Yawe likolo na banyokoli na bango, akotindela bango mobikisi mpe mobundeli, mpe akobikisa bango.
and it shall be for a sign and for a witness to Jehovah of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto Jehovah because of the oppressors, and he will send them a saviour and defender, who shall deliver them.
21 Boye, Yawe akomimonisa epai na bato ya Ejipito. Mpe na mokolo wana, bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba Yawe, bakogumbamela Ye na bambeka mpe na makabo ya bambuma; bakolapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe mpe bakokokisa yango.
And Jehovah shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know Jehovah in that day, and shall serve with sacrifice and oblation; and they shall vow a vow unto Jehovah, and perform it.
22 Kasi Yawe akobeta Ejipito na nzela ya bitumbu, akobeta yango mpe akobikisa yango. Bakozonga epai na Yawe, bongo akoyanola na kolela na bango mpe akobikisa bango.
And Jehovah will smite Egypt; he will smite and heal: and they shall return to Jehovah, and he will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
23 Na mokolo wana, bakopasola nzela moko wuta na Ejipito kino na Asiri. Bato ya Asiri bakokoma koya na Ejipito, mpe bato ya Ejipito bakokoma koya na Asiri. Bato ya Ejipito mpe bato ya Asiri bakokoma kosala elongo losambo mpo na Yawe.
In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria; and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and Egypt shall serve with Assyria.
24 Na mokolo wana, Isalaele akozala ekolo ya misato, sima na Ejipito mpe Asiri, lipamboli oyo Nzambe akomema na mokili.
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
25 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akopambola bango na maloba oyo: « Tika ete bopambolama: Ejipito, bato na Ngai; Asiri, misala ya maboko na Ngai, mpe Isalaele, libula na Ngai! »
whom Jehovah of hosts will bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance!
