Ezayi 27
1 Na mokolo wana, Yawe akopesa etumbu na Leviatani, nyoka oyo ekimaka, na Leviatani, nyoka ya somo, na nzela ya mopanga na Ye ya minu, mopanga na Ye ya monene mpe ya nguya; akoboma elima ya ebale monene.
In that day YHWH lays a charge, With His sword—the sharp, and the great, and the strong, On leviathan—a fleeing serpent, And on leviathan—a crooked serpent, And He has slain the dragon that [is] in the sea.
2 Na mokolo wana, bakoloba: « Boyemba nzembo mpo na nzete ya vino ya kitoko:
In that day respond to her, “A desirable vineyard,
3 Ngai Yawe, nabatelaka yango, nasopelaka yango mayi tango nyonso, nakengelaka yango butu mpe moyi mpo ete moto moko te abebisa yango.
I, YHWH, am its keeper, I water it every moment, Lest any lay a charge against it, Night and day I keep it!
4 Nazali lisusu na kanda te. Ah, soki ezalaki kaka na banzube mpe na basende mpo na kobundisa Ngai, nde natambolaki likolo na yango na bitumba mpe nabwakaki yango nyonso na moto.
Fury is not in Me; Who gives Me a brier—a thorn in battle? I step into it, I burn it at once.
5 Kasi tika ete bakimela epai na Ngai lokola ndako batonga makasi, tika ete baluka kosala kimia elongo na Ngai; solo, tika ete baluka kosala kimia elongo na Ngai! »
Or—he takes hold on My strength, [That] he makes peace with Me, [And] he makes peace with Me.”
6 Na mikolo oyo ekoya, Jakobi akozwa misisa, Isalaele akobimisa bafololo mpe mito, mpe akotondisa mokili na bambuma na ye.
He causes those coming in to take root, Jacob blossoms, and Israel has flourished, And they have filled the face of the world [with] increase.
7 Boni, Yawe abetaki ye te ndenge abetaki bato oyo babetaki ye? Boni, abomaki ye te ndenge abomaki bato oyo babomaki ye?
Has He struck him as the striking of his striker? Does He slay as the slaying of his slain?
8 Apesaki bango etumbu na kotelemela mpe na kobengana. Alongolaki bango na mopepe na Ye ya makasi, kaka na mokolo moko ya mopepe na Ye ya este.
In measure, in sending it forth, you strive with it, He has taken away by His sharp wind, In the day of an east wind,
9 Ezali na nzela wana nde mabe ya Jakobi ekolimbisama, mpe tala oyo ekozala mbuma ya bolimbisi masumu na ye: akobuka mabanga nyonso ya etumbelo mpo ete ekoma lokola mabanga ya pembe oyo babuka-buka; mpe likonzi moko te ya Ashera to etumbelo ya malasi ya ansa ekotikala.
Therefore the iniquity of Jacob is covered by this, And this [is] all the fruit—To take away his sin, In his setting all the stones of an altar, As chalkstones beaten in pieces, They do not rise—Asherim and images.
10 Engumba ya makasi etikali pamba lokola lopango oyo basundola, babosana mpe etikala pamba lokola esobe; mwana ngombe ya mobali ekokoma kolia mpe kolala kuna, bongo ekolia ata makasa ya bitape na yango.
For the fortified city [is] alone, A habitation cast out and forsaken as a wilderness, There the calf delights, And there it lies down, And has consumed its branches.
11 Tango bitape na yango ekokawuka, ekobukana; basi bakoya kotia yango na moto. Mpo ete bato oyo bazangi mayele, yango wana Mokeli na bango ayokelaki bango mawa te, Mozalisi na bango atalisaki bango ngolu na Ye te.
In the withering of its branch it is broken off, Women are coming in [and] setting it on fire, For it [is] not a people of understanding, Therefore its Maker does not pity it, And its Former does not favor it.
12 Na tango wana, Yawe akotuta ble wuta na ngambo ya ebale (Efrate) kino na mayi oyo etiolaka makasi na bangomba ya Ejipito. Boye, bino bana ya Isalaele, Yawe akolokota bino moko na moko mpo na kosangisa bino.
And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH beats out from the branch of the river, To the stream of Egypt, And you are gathered one by one, O sons of Israel.
13 Na mokolo wana, bakobeta kelelo oyo ya monene; bato oyo bazalaki kobebisama na mokili ya Asiri mpe oyo bakendeki na bowumbu na Ejipito bakoya mpe bakogumbamela Yawe na ngomba ya bule, na Yelusalemi.
And it has come to pass in that day, It is blown with a great horn, And those perishing in the land of Asshur have come in, And those cast out in the land of Egypt, And have bowed themselves to YHWH, In the holy mountain—in Jerusalem!
