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 VISION OF EGYPT. Behold, the Lord sits on a swift cloud, and shall come to Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and their heart shall faint within them.

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 the Egyptians shall be stirred up against the Egyptians: and a man shall fight against his brother, and a man against his neighbor, city against city, and law against law.

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 the Egyptians shall be troubled within them; and I will frustrate their counsel: and they shall enquire of their gods and their images, and them that speak out of the earth, and them that have in them a divining spirit.

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 I will deliver Egypt into the hands of men, of cruel lords; and cruel kings shall rule over them: thus says the Lord of hosts.

5 Mayi ya ebale monene ekokita, mpe mayi ya ebale ekosila mpe ekokawuka.

And the Egyptians shall drink the water that is by the sea, but the river shall fail, and be dried up.

6 Mayi ya miluka ekokoma solo, mayi ya Ejipito ekokita mpe ekokawuka. Mpe lisusu, banzete oyo ebotaka na mayi ekokawuka,

And the streams shall fail, and the canals of the river; and every reservoir of water shall be dried up, in every marsh also of reed and papyrus.

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.

And all the green herbage round about the river, and everything sown by the side of the river, shall be blasted with the wind and dried up.

8 Balobi mbisi bakonyokwama mpe bakokoma kolela, bato nyonso oyo babwakaka ndobo mpe minyama na ebale Nili bakokoma na pasi.

And the fishermen shall groan, and all that cast a hook into the river shall groan; they also that cast nets, and the anglers shall mourn.

9 Bato oyo basalaka lino bakokufa soni ya makasi, mpe bato oyo batongaka bilamba bakotonda na mawa.

And shame shall come upon them that work fine flax, and them that make fine linen.

10 Bato oyo basimbaka mokili bakokweya, mpe basali nyonso bakolemba nzoto.

And they that work at them shall be in pain, and all that make beer shall be grieved, and be pained in their souls.

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? »

And the princes of Tanis shall be fools: [as for] the king's wise counselors, their counsel shall be turned into folly: how will you say to the king, we are sons of wise men, sons 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 now your wise men? and let them declare to you, and say, What has the Lord of hosts 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 Tanis have failed, and the princes of Memphis are lifted up [with pride], and they shall cause Egypt to wander by tribes.

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.

For the Lord has prepared for them a spirit of error, and they have caused Egypt to err in all their works, as one staggers who is drunken and vomits also.

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.

And there shall be no work to the Egyptians, which shall make head or tail, or beginning or end.

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.

But in that day the Egyptians shall be as women, in fear and in trembling because of the hand of the Lord of hosts, which he shall bring upon them.

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 the Jews shall be for a terror to the Egyptians: whoever shall name it to them, they shall fear, because of the counsel which the Lord of hosts has purposed concerning 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 there shall be five cities in Egypt speaking the language of Chanaan, and swearing by the name of the Lord of hosts; one city shall be called the city of Asedec.

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 there shall be an altar to the Lord in the land of the Egyptians, and a pillar to the Lord by its border.

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 to the Lord for ever in the land of Egypt: for they shall presently cry to the Lord by reason of them that afflict them, and he shall send them a man who shall save them; he shall judge and save 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 the Lord shall be known to the Egyptians, and the Egyptians shall know the Lord in that day; and they shall offer sacrifices, and shall vow vows to the Lord, and pay [them].

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 the Lord shall strike the Egyptians with a stroke, and shall completely heal them: and they shall return to the Lord, and he shall hear them, and thoroughly 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 there shall be a way from Egypt to the Assyrians, and the Assyrians shall enter into Egypt, and the Egyptians shall go to the Assyrians, and the Egyptians shall serve the Assyrians.

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 third with the Egyptians and the Assyrians, blessed in the land which the Lord of hosts has blessed,

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! »

saying, Blessed be my people that is in Egypt, and that is among the Assyrians, and Israel mine inheritance.
