Mishe 4
1 Na mikolo oyo ekoya, ngomba ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekolendisama ngwi na songe ya bangomba, ekoleka bangomba mikuse nyonso na molayi, mpe bikolo ekokende kotondana kuna.
But in the latter days, it will happen that the mountain of the LORD’s temple will be established on the top of the mountains, and it will be exalted above the hills; and peoples will stream to it.
2 Bato ya bikolo ebele bakokende kuna mpe bakoloba: « Boya, tomata na ngomba ya Yawe, na Tempelo ya Nzambe ya Jakobi! Akoteya biso banzela na Ye mpo ete tolanda banzela mike na Ye. » Pamba te Mobeko ekowuta na Siona, mpe Liloba na Yawe ekowuta na Yelusalemi.
Many nations will go and say, “Come! Let’s go up to the mountain of the LORD, and to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths.” For the law will go out of Zion, and the LORD’s word from Jerusalem;
3 Akozala Mosambisi kati na bikolo ebele, akokata makambo ya kowelana kati na mabota ya nguya, ezala oyo ezalaka mosika. Bakotumba mipanga na bango na moto mpo na kosala bakongo, mpe makonga na bango mpo na kosala bambeli. Ekolo moko te ekotombola lisusu mopanga mpo na kobundisa ekolo mosusu, bato bakoyekola lisusu te kobunda bitumba.
and he will judge between many peoples, and will decide concerning strong nations afar off. They will beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not lift up sword against nation, neither will they learn war any more.
4 Moto nyonso akovanda na kimia kati na bilanga na ye ya vino mpe na se ya nzete na ye ya figi. Moto moko te akobangisa ye, pamba te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde alobi.
But every man will sit under his vine and under his fig tree. No one will make them afraid, for the mouth of the LORD of Hosts has spoken.
5 Ekolo na ekolo ekotambola na kombo ya nzambe na yango, kasi biso tokotambola na Kombo na Yawe oyo azali Nzambe na biso, mpo na libela.
Indeed all the nations may walk in the name of their gods, but we will walk in the name of the LORD our God forever and ever.
6 « Na mokolo yango, » elobi Yawe, « Nakosangisa libota na Ngai, oyo ezali kotambola tengu-tengu; nakoyamba oyo ezalaki na bowumbu, mosika na Ngai, mpe oyo natiaki pasi likolo na yango.
“In that day,” says the LORD, “I will assemble that which is lame, and I will gather that which is driven away, and that which I have afflicted;
7 Nakosala ete libota oyo ezali kotambola tengu-tengu ekoma batikali, mpe oyo bazalaki na bowumbu mosika na Ngai, libota ya nguya. Yawe akozala Mokonzi na bango, na ngomba Siona, kobanda na mokolo yango kino libela na libela.
and I will make that which was lame a remnant, and that which was cast far off a strong nation: and the LORD will reign over them on Mount Zion from then on, even forever.”
8 Mpo na yo, ndako molayi ya bakengeli bibwele, ngomba ya Siona, mboka kitoko, bakozongisela yo bokonzi na yo ya kala, bakozongisa bokonzi ya Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko. »
You, tower of the flock, the hill of the daughter of Zion, to you it will come. Yes, the former dominion will come, the kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem.
9 Sik’oyo, mpo na nini ozali koganga? Boni, ozali lisusu na mokonzi te? Boni, mopesi toli na yo asili kokufa mpo ete pasi ekanga yo lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota?
Now why do you cry out aloud? Is there no king in you? Has your counselor perished, that pains have taken hold of you as of a woman in travail?
10 Oh Siona, mboka kitoko, lela lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota! Pamba te sik’oyo, okobima na engumba mpe okovanda kati na zamba, okokende kino na Babiloni; mpe kuna, Yawe akokangola yo na maboko ya monguna na yo.
Be in pain, and labor to give birth, daughter of Zion, like a woman in travail; for now you will go out of the city, and will dwell in the field, and will come even to Babylon. There you will be rescued. There the LORD will redeem you from the hand of your enemies.
11 Kasi sik’oyo, bikolo ebele esangani mpo na kotelemela yo; bazali koloba: « Tika ete bosantu ya Siona esambwa mpe miso esepela komona kobebisama na yango! »
Now many nations have assembled against you, that say, “Let her be defiled, and let our eye gloat over Zion.”
12 Kasi bayebi makanisi na Yawe te mpe bazali kososola mabongisi na Ye te, Ye oyo asangisaki bango lokola maboke ya matiti ya ble na etando oyo batutelaka yango.
But they don’t know the thoughts of the LORD, neither do they understand his counsel; for he has gathered them like the sheaves to the threshing floor.
13 Oh Siona, mboka kitoko, telema mpe tuta ble, pamba te nakopesa yo maseke ya bibende mpe basapato ya bronze, bongo okobuka bikolo ebele mike-mike mpe okopesa bomengo na bango, oyo bazwaki na nzela ya mabe, lokola likabo epai na Yawe, mpe bozwi na bango epai na Mokonzi ya mokili mobimba.
Arise and thresh, daughter of Zion, for I will make your horn iron, and I will make your hoofs bronze. You will beat in pieces many peoples. I will devote their gain to the LORD, and their substance to the Lord of the whole earth.
