Ezayi 25
1 Yawe, ozali Nzambe na ngai; nakonetola Yo mpe nakosanzola Kombo na Yo; pamba te na boyengebene na Yo ya kokoka, osalaki mabongisi ya kokamwa, makambo oyo obongisa wuta kala.
YHWH, you are my God. I will exalt you. I will praise your name, for you have done wonderful things, things planned long ago, in complete faithfulness and truth.
2 Okomisaki engumba mopiku ya mabanga, okomisaki bingumba ya makasi maboke ya mabanga; bandako batonga makasi ya bapaya etikali lisusu na bilongi ya engumba te, bakotonga yango lisusu te.
For you have made a city into a heap, a fortified city into a ruin, a palace of the insolent is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt.
3 Yango wana, bato ya nguya bakopesa Yo lokumu, bingumba ya bikolo ya kanza ekotosa Yo.
Therefore a strong people will glorify you. A city of awesome nations will fear you.
4 Ozalaki ekimelo mpo na mobola, ekimelo mpo na moto oyo akelela, na tango ya pasi, ebombamelo na tango ya mvula makasi mpe pio na tango ya molunge. Pamba te pema ya banyokoli ezali lokola mvula ya makasi oyo ebukaka bamir;
For you have been a stronghold to the poor, a stronghold to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shade from the heat, when the blast of the dreaded ones is like a storm against the wall.
5 mpe lokola moto ya moyi na zelo ya esobe. Osilisaki makelele ya bapaya ndenge pio ya mapata esilisaka molunge; boye nde nzembo ya banyokoli esilaki.
As the heat in a dry place will you bring down the noise of strangers; as the heat by the shade of a cloud, the song of the dreaded ones will be brought low.
6 Na ngomba oyo, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akobongisa feti ya biloko kitoko mpo na bato nyonso, feti monene ya vino ya kala, ya misuni oyo eleki mafuta mpe ya vino ya kala oyo balongola malamu salite.
In this mountain, YHWH of hosts will make all peoples a feast of fat things, a feast of choice wines, of fat things full of marrow, of well refined choice wines.
7 Kaka na ngomba oyo, akobebisa vwale oyo esili kozipa bato nyonso, bulangeti oyo ezipi bikolo nyonso;
He will destroy in this mountain the surface of the covering that covers all peoples, and the veil that is spread over all nations.
8 akolimwisa kufa mpo na libela. Nkolo Yawe akopangusa mpinzoli na bilongi nyonso, akolongola soni ya bato na Ye kati na mokili mobimba. Solo, Yawe alobi.
He has swallowed up death in victory. YHWH will wipe away tears from off all faces. He will take the reproach of his people away from off all the earth, for YHWH has spoken it.
9 Na mokolo wana, bakoloba: « Solo, Oyo azali penza Nzambe na biso! Totiaki mitema epai na Ye mpe abikisi biso. Oyo azali solo Yawe, totiaki mitema epai na Ye; tika ete tosepela mpe tozala na esengo mpo na lobiko oyo apesi biso! »
It shall be said in that day, "Look, this is our God. We have waited for him, and he will save us. This is YHWH. We have waited for him. We will be glad and rejoice in his salvation."
10 Loboko na Yawe ekozala na ngomba oyo, kasi bakonyata-nyata Moabi na mokili na bango ndenge banyataka matiti kati na libulu ya fimie.
For in this mountain the hand of YHWH will rest. Moab will be trodden down in his place, even like straw is trodden down in a dunghill.
11 Akosembola maboko na Ye kati na yango ndenge basembolaka maboko mpo na kokata mayi. Nzambe akokitisa lolendo na bango mpe mayele ya maboko na bango;
He will spread out his hands in its midst, like one who swims spreads out hands to swim, but his pride will be humbled together with the craft of his hands.
12 akobuka bamir milayi na bino ya makasi mpe akolalisa yango na se; akokweyisa yango na mabele kino ekoma putulu.
He has brought the high fortress of your walls down, laid low, and brought to the ground, even to the dust.
