< 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.
On that day Yahweh with his hard, great and fierce sword will punish Leviathan the slithering serpent, Leviathan the squirming serpent, and he will kill the monster that is in the sea.
2 Na mokolo wana, bakoloba: « Boyemba nzembo mpo na nzete ya vino ya kitoko:
In that day: A vineyard of wine, sing of it.
3 Ngai Yawe, nabatelaka yango, nasopelaka yango mayi tango nyonso, nakengelaka yango butu mpe moyi mpo ete moto moko te abebisa yango.
“I, Yahweh, am its protector; I water it every moment. I guard it night and day so no one will hurt 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.
I am not angry, Oh, that there were briers and thorns! In battle I would march against them; I would burn them all together;
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! »
unless they grasp my protection and make peace with me; let them make peace with me.
6 Na mikolo oyo ekoya, Jakobi akozwa misisa, Isalaele akobimisa bafololo mpe mito, mpe akotondisa mokili na bambuma na ye.
In the coming day, Jacob will take root; Israel will blossom and bud; and they will fill the surface of the ground with fruit.”
7 Boni, Yawe abetaki ye te ndenge abetaki bato oyo babetaki ye? Boni, abomaki ye te ndenge abomaki bato oyo babomaki ye?
Has Yahweh attacked Jacob and Israel as he attacked those nations who attacked them? Have Jacob and Israel been killed as in the slaughter of those nations that were killed by them?
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 exact measure you have contended, sending Jacob and Israel away; he drove them away with his fierce breath in the day of the 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.
So in this way, the iniquity of Jacob will be atoned for, for this will be the full fruit of the removal of his sin: when he will make all the altar stones as chalk and crushed to pieces, and no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
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 desolate, the habitation is deserted and forsaken like the wilderness. There a calf feeds, and there he lies down and consumes 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.
When the boughs are withered, they will be broken off. Women will come and make fires with them, for this is not a people of understanding. Therefore their Maker will not have compassion on them, and he who made them will not be merciful to them.
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.
It will come about on that day that Yahweh will thresh from the Euphrates River to the Wadi of Egypt and you, the people of Israel, will be gathered together one by one.
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.
On that day a great trumpet will be blown; and the perishing ones in the land of Assyria will come, and the outcasts in the land of Egypt, they will worship Yahweh on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
