< Ezayi 34 >
1 Bino bikolo, bobelema pene mpe boyoka; bino bato, botia matoyi! Tika ete mabele, elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, mpe mokili, elongo na nyonso oyo ewuti na yango, eyoka!
Come near, ye Gentiles, and hear, and hearken, ye people: let the earth hear, and all that is therein, the world, and every thing that cometh forth of it.
2 Yawe atombokeli bikolo nyonso, kanda na Ye ezali likolo ya mampinga ya bikolo nyonso. Akobebisa bango penza nye, akokaba bango na kufa.
For the indignation of the Lord if upon all nations, and his fury upon all their armies: he hath killed them, and delivered them to slaughter.
3 Bakobwaka bibembe na bango na mabele, bongo bibembe yango ekobimisa solo makasi, mpe makila ekokita lokola ebale na bangomba.
Their slain shall be cast forth, and out of their carcasses shall rise a slink: the mountains shall be melted with their blood.
4 Mampinga nyonso ya likolo ekobukana; mpe mapata ekolingama lokola buku, bongo mampinga na yango nyonso ekokweya ndenge makasa ya nzete ya vino mpe ya figi ekweyaka.
And all the host of the heavens shall pine away, and the heavens shall be folded together as a book: and all their host shall fall down as the leaf falleth from the vine, and from the fig tree.
5 Pamba te mopanga na ngai esili kolongwa kuna na likolo; tala, ekiti mpo na kosambisa Edomi, mpe bato oyo nabongisaki mpo na kobebisama.
For my sword is inebriated in heaven: behold it shall come down upon Idumea, and upon the people of my slaughter unto judgment.
6 Mopanga na Yawe etondi na makila, ezipami na mafuta, na makila ya bana meme mpe ya bantaba ya mibali, na mafuta ya bameme ya mibali, pamba te ezali na mbeka moko mpo na Yawe kati na Botsira mpe bazali koboma bato ebele penza kati na mokili ya Edomi.
The sword of the Lord is filled with blood, it is made thick with the blood of lambs and buck goats, with the blood of rams full of marrow: for there is a victim of the Lord in Bosra and a great slaughter in the land of Edom.
7 Mpakasa ekokufa nzela moko na bango, mpe bangombe ya mibali elongo na bilenge na yango. Mabele na yango ekolangwa na makila mpe putulu na yango ekozipama na mafuta.
And the unicorns shall go down with them, and the bulls with the mighty: their land shall be soaked with blood, and their ground with the fat of fat ones.
8 Pamba te ezali mpo na Yawe, mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, mobu ya lifuti mpo na likambo ya Siona.
For it is the day of the vengeance of the Lord, the year of recompenses of the judgment of Sion.
9 Miluka ya Edomi ekobongwana gudron, putulu na yango, lokola moto ya fofolo mpe mabele na yango ekokoma kopela moto;
And the streams thereof shall be turned into pitch, and the ground thereof into brimstone: and the land thereof shall become burning pitch.
10 moto oyo ekokufa te ezala na moyi to na butu, bongo molinga na yango ekobanda komata mpo na libela. Ekotikala esobe libela na libela, mpe ata moto moko te akoleka lisusu wana.
Night and day it shall not be quenched, the smoke thereof shall go up for ever: from generation to generation it shall lie waste, none shall pass through it for ever and ever.
11 Esulungutu mpe ndeke mosusu ya butu ekozwa yango lokola libula, kumu mpe yanganga ekokoma kovanda kuna. Nzambe akosembola likolo ya Edomi singa ya mobulu mpe nivo ya kozanga.
The bittern and ericius shall possess it: and the ibis and the raven shall dwell in it: and a line shall be stretched out upon it, to bring it to nothing, and a plummet, unto desolation.
12 Bankumu na yango bakozala lisusu wana te mpo na kopona mokonzi, bakambi na yango nyonso bakotikala lisusu te.
The nobles thereof shall not be there: they shall call rather upon the king, and all the princes thereof shall be nothing.
13 Nzube ekobota kati na ndako ya mokonzi; basende mpe matiti, kati na bandako na ye batonga makasi; ekokoma ndako ya bambwa ya zamba, lopango ya maligbanga.
And thorns and nettles shall grow up in its houses, and the thistle in the fortresses thereof: and it shall be the habitation of dragons, and the pasture of ostriches.
14 Bikelamu ya esobe ekokutana kuna elongo na mbwa ya zamba, mpe bantaba ya mibali ekobenga baninga na yango. Kumu ekozwa kuna esika ya kolala mpe ya kopema.
And demons and monsters shall meet, and the hairy ones shall cry out one to another, there hath the lamia lain down, and found rest for herself.
15 Nyoka ekotonga zala na yango mpe ekobwaka maki na yango kuna, ekopasola yango mpe ekosangisa bana na yango na se ya elili na yango. Kaka kuna lisusu, ndeke oyo eliaka misuni ekosangana moko na mosusu.
There hath the ericius had its hole, and brought up its young ones, and hath dug round about, and cherished them in the shadow thereof: thither are the kites gathered together one to another.
16 Boluka kati na buku ya Yawe mpe botanga: Moko te kati na bango akozanga, moko te akomitungisa mpo na moninga na ye; pamba te monoko na Yawe nde epesi mitindo mpe Molimo na Ye akosangisa bango elongo.
Search ye diligently in the book of the Lord, and read: not one of them was wanting, one hath not sought for the other: for that which proceedeth out of my mouth, he hath commanded, and his spirit it hath gathered them.
17 Ye abwaki zeke mpo na bango mpe loboko na Ye esaleli singa oyo bamekelaka molayi, mpo na kokabolela bango mboka. Bakozwa yango mpo na libela mpe bakovanda wana libela na libela.
And he hath cast the lot for them, and his hand hath divided it to them by line: they shall possess it for ever, from generation to generation they shall dwell therein.
