< 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 nations, to hear; and ye people, hearken: let the earth hear, and all that filleth it; the world, and all things that spring 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 is [enkindled] over all the nations, and his fury over all their army: he hath devoted them, he hath given them up to the slaughter:
3 Bakobwaka bibembe na bango na mabele, bongo bibembe yango ekobimisa solo makasi, mpe makila ekokita lokola ebale na bangomba.
And their slain also shall be cast out, and as regardeth their carcasses their stench shall ascend upward, and the mountains shall be melted through 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 heaven shall be dissolved, and the heavens shall be rolled together like a book: and all their host shall wither, as the leaf withereth from the vine, and as withering fruit 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 sated in heaven: behold, it shall come down upon Edom, and upon the people I have devoted to punishment.
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 full of blood, it is enriched with fat, with the blood of lambs and goats, with the fat of the kidneys of rams; for the Lord hath a sacrifice in Bozrah, 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 wild oxen shall sink down with them, and steers with bullocks; and their land shall be sated with blood, and their dust enriched with fat.
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 vengeance unto the Lord, and the year of recompense for the controversy of Zion.
9 Miluka ya Edomi ekobongwana gudron, putulu na yango, lokola moto ya fofolo mpe mabele na yango ekokoma kopela moto;
And its brooks shall be changed into pitch, and its dust into sulfur, and its land 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 shall it not be quenched; for ever shall ascend the smoke thereof: from generation to generation shall it lie waste; no one shall for ever and ever pass through it.
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.
But pelican and hedgehog shall take possession of it; night-owl also and raven shall dwell in it: and he shall stretch out over it the line of destruction, and the weights of desolation.
12 Bankumu na yango bakozala lisusu wana te mpo na kopona mokonzi, bakambi na yango nyonso bakotikala lisusu te.
Their nobles—no one is there they could call [to] the kingdom, and all its princes shall be no more.
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 shall spring up in its palaces, nettles and brambles in its fortresses: and it shall be a habitation of monsters, and a court for 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 the martens shall meet with the jackals, and one goat shall call to his fellow; only the screech-owl shall rest there, and find for herself a place of repose.
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 shall nestle the arrow-snake, and lay eggs, and hatch, and gather its young under its shadow: only vultures shall assemble there, every one with her mate.
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.
Inquire out of the book of the Lord, and read: not one of these shall be absent, not one shall miss her mate; for my mouth it is that hath ordained it, and its breath it is that 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 out unto them by the measuring line: for ever shall they possess it, from generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
