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!
Draw near, O ye nations, and hear! Attend, O ye people! Let the earth hear, and all that is therein; The world, and all that springs from 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 wrath of Jehovah is kindled against all the nations, And his fury against all their armies; He hath devoted them to destruction; He hath given them up 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 out; From their carcasses their stench shall ascend, And the mountains shall flow down 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 hosts of heaven shall melt away; And the heavens shall be rolled up like a scroll, And all their host shall fall down, As the withered leaf faileth from the vine, As the blighted 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 hath become drunk in heaven; Behold, upon Edom shall it descend, Upon the people under my curse, for vengeance.
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 Jehovah is full of blood; It is covered with fat, With the blood of lambs and goats, With the fat of the kidneys of rams; For Jehovah holdeth 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.
The wild buffaloes shall fall down with them. And the bullocks with the bulls; The hind shall be drunk with blood, And the ground 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 Jehovah holdeth a day of vengeance, A year of recompense in the cause of Zion.
9 Miluka ya Edomi ekobongwana gudron, putulu na yango, lokola moto ya fofolo mpe mabele na yango ekokoma kopela moto;
Her streams shall be turned into pitch, And her dust into brimstone, And her whole 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.
Day and night it shall not be quenched; Its smoke shall ascend forever; 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 pelican and the hedgehog shall possess it; The heron and the raven shall dwell in it; Over it will he draw the measuring-line of destruction. And the plummet of desolation.
12 Bankumu na yango bakozala lisusu wana te mpo na kopona mokonzi, bakambi na yango nyonso bakotikala lisusu te.
Her nobles — none are there, who may proclaim a kingdom, And all her princes have come to naught.
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.
Thorns shall spring up in her palaces; Nettles and thistles in her strongholds. She shall become a habitation for jackals, 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.
The wild-cats shall fall upon the wolves, And the satyr shall call to his fellow; There also shall the night-spectre light, And find a place of rest.
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 also shall the arrow-snake make her nest, and lay her eggs; She shall hatch them, and gather her young under her shadow: There also shall the vultures be gathered together, 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.
Search ye the book of Jehovah, and read! Not one of these shall fail; Not one shall want her mate; For His mouth, it shall command, And His spirit, it shall gather 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.
He shall cast the lot for them; His hand shall divide it for them with a line; They shall possess it forever; From generation to generation shall they dwell therein.
