Zakari 1
1 Na sanza ya mwambe, na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Zakari, mwana mobali ya Barashi, mwana mobali ya Ido:
In the month eighth in year two of Darius it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah [the] son of Berekiah [the] son of Iddo the prophet saying.
2 — Yawe atombokelaki bakoko na bino makasi.
He was angry Yahweh towards ancestors your anger.
3 Yango wana, loba na bato oyo: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Bozonga epai na Ngai, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ‹ mpe Ngai nakozonga epai na bino, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
And you will say to them thus he says Yahweh of hosts return to me [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts so I may return to you he says Yahweh of hosts.
4 Bozala te lokola bakoko na bino, epai ya banani basakoli ya tango ya kala balobaki: Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Botika banzela mabe mpe misala na bino ya mabe, bozonga epai na Ngai! › Kasi basalaki keba te na maloba na Ngai, mpe batosaki Ngai te, elobi Yawe.
May not you be like ancestors your whom they proclaimed to them the prophets former saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts turn back please from ways your evil (and deeds your *Q(k)*) evil and not they listened and not they paid attention to me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
5 Wapi sik’oyo bakoko na bino? Boni, basakoli yango bazali kaka na bomoi kino na mokolo ya lelo?
Ancestors your where? [are] they and the prophets ¿ to forever do they live.
6 Maloba mpe malako na Ngai, oyo napesaki na nzela ya basakoli, basali na Ngai, ekomelaki bakoko na bino te? Solo, ekomelaki bango, babongolaki mitema mpe balobaki: ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asaleli biso kolanda banzela mpe misala na biso, asali ndenge kaka akanaki kosala. › »
Nevertheless - words my and statutes my which I commanded servants my the prophets ¿ not did they overtake ancestors your and they repented and they said just as he planned Yahweh of hosts to do to us according to ways our and according to deeds our so he has done with us.
7 Na mokolo ya tuku mibale na minei ya sanza ya zomi na moko, sanza ya shebati, na mobu ya mibale ya bokonzi ya Dariusi, Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Zakari, mwana mobali ya Barashi, mwana mobali ya Ido.
On day twenty and four of one [plus] ten month it [was] [the] month of Shebat in year two of Darius it came [the] word of Yahweh to Zechariah [the] son of Berekiah [the] son of Iddo the prophet saying.
8 Na butu, nazwaki emoniseli moko: namonaki liboso na ngai moto moko azali kotambolisa mpunda moko ya langi ya motane; moto yango atelemaki kati na banzete ya mirite oyo ezalaki kati na lubwaku. Na sima na ye, ezalaki na bampunda mosusu ya langi ya motane, ya shokola mpe ya pembe.
I saw - the night and there! a man [was] riding on a horse red and he [was] standing between the myrtle trees which [were] in the hollow and [were] behind him horses red sorrel and white.
9 Natunaki: — Nkolo na ngai, bampunda oyo elingi kolakisa nini? Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai azongisaki: — Nakolakisa yo tina na yango.
And I said what? [are] these O lord my and he said to me the angel who was speaking with me I I will show you what? they [are] these.
10 Moto oyo azalaki kati na banzete ya mirite alimbolaki: — Ezali bato oyo Yawe atindaki mpo na kotambola na mabele.
And he answered the man who was standing between (the myrtle trees *LB(ah)*) and he said these [are those] whom he has sent Yahweh to go about on the earth.
11 Bato yango bayebisaki Anjelu ya Yawe, oyo atelemaki kati na banzete ya mirite: — Towuti kotambola na mabele mpe tokuti kimia mpe bopemi na mokili mobimba.
And they answered [the] angel of Yahweh who was standing between the myrtle trees and they said we have gone about on the earth and there! all the earth [is] dwelling and [is] undisturbed.
12 Anjelu ya Yawe alobaki: — Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, kino tango nini okoboya koyokela engumba Yelusalemi mawa mpe bingumba mosusu ya Yuda, bingumba oyo okangela kanda mibu tuku sambo mobimba?
And he answered [the] angel of Yahweh and he said O Yahweh of hosts until when? you not will you have compassion on Jerusalem and [the] cities of Judah which you have been indignant this seventy year[s].
13 Yawe abimisaki maloba ya kimia mpe ya kobondisa, na monoko ya Anjelu oyo azalaki koloba na ngai.
And he answered Yahweh the angel who was speaking with me words good words comfort.
14 Bongo Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai alobaki: — Tatola maloba oyo: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Nazali na zuwa makasi mpo na Yelusalemi mpe Siona.
And he said to me the angel who was speaking with me proclaim saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts I am jealous for Jerusalem and for Zion jealousy great.
15 Kasi nazali na kanda makasi mpo na bikolo oyo emonaka ete emikoka. Nazalaki kaka na kanda moke mpo na bato na Ngai, kasi bango bayei nde kobakisela bato na Ngai pasi. › »
And anger great I [am] angry towards the nations at ease which I I was angry a little and they they have helped for evil.
16 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakozonga na Yelusalemi mpo na koyokela bango mawa; mpe kuna, bakotonga lisusu Tempelo na Ngai mpe bakosalela kati na Yelusalemi singa oyo bamekelaka molayi, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
Therefore thus he says Yahweh I have returned to Jerusalem with compassion house my it will be rebuilt in it [the] utterance of Yahweh of hosts (and a measuring-line *Q(K)*) it will be stretched out over Jerusalem.
17 Tatola lisusu: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Bingumba na Ngai ekotondisama lisusu na bomengo, Yawe akobondisa lisusu Siona mpe akopona Yelusalemi. › »
Again - proclaim saying thus he says Yahweh of hosts again they will overflow cities my from good and he will comfort Yahweh again Zion and he will choose again Jerusalem.
18 Bongo natombolaki miso mpe namonaki maseke minei liboso na ngai.
And I lifted up eyes my and I saw and there! four horns.
19 Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Maseke wana elakisi nini? Azongiselaki ngai: — Maseke wana ezali bikolo ya nguya oyo epanzaki Yuda, Isalaele mpe Yelusalemi.
And I said to the angel who was speaking with me what? [are] these and he said to me these [are] the horns which they scattered Judah Israel and Jerusalem.
20 Yawe alakisaki ngai bato minei ya misala ya maboko.
And he showed me Yahweh four craftsmen.
21 Natunaki: — Bato oyo bayei kosala nini? Azongisaki: — Ezali maseke oyo eyaki kopanza Yuda mpo ete moto moko te akoka kotombola moto, kasi bato oyo ya misala ya maboko bayei nde kolengisa bango mpe kokweyisa nguya ya bikolo oyo etombolaki maseke na yango mpo na kobundisa Yuda mpe kopanza bato na yango.
And I said what? [are] these coming to do and he said saying these [are] the horns which they scattered Judah according to [the] mouth of a man not he lifted up head his and they have come these [craftsmen] to terrify them to throw down [the] horns of the nations which lifted up a horn against [the] land of Judah to scatter it.
