Zakari 10

1 Bosenga epai na Yawe ete anokisa mvula ya suka; ezali Yawe nde atindaka mapata mpe bakake oyo ememaka bamvula minene, Ye nde abimisaka matiti na elanga ya moko na moko.

Ask you of the Lord rain in season, the early and the latter: the Lord has given bright signs, and will give them abundant rain, to every one grass in the field.

2 Nzokande, banzambe ya bikeko elobaka maloba ya pamba, mpe bimoniseli ya bato ya soloka ezalaka ya lokuta: bazwaka bandoto oyo ezanga tina, mpe malendisi na bango ezalaka ya lokuta. Yango wana, bato bakomaki kotelengana lokola bibwele oyo ezangi mobateli.

For the speakers have uttered grievous things, and the diviners [have ] [seen] false visions, and they have spoken false dreams, they have given vain comfort: therefore have they fallen away like sheep, and been afflicted, because there was no healing.

3 Kanda na Ngai ya makasi epeli mpo na babateli, mpe nakopesa bakambi etumbu, pamba te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ayei mpo na kobatela etonga na Ye, libota ya Yuda; akokomisa bango mpunda na Ye ya lokumu kati na bitumba.

Mine anger was kindled against the shepherds, and I will visit the lambs; and the Lord God Almighty shall visit his flock, the house of Juda, and he shall make them as his goodly horse in war.

4 Na Yuda nde ekobimela libanga ya songe ya ndako, likonzi ya ndako ya kapo, tolotolo ya bitumba mpe bakambi nyonso.

And from him he looked, and from him he set [the battle in order], and from him [came] the bow in anger, [and] from him shall come forth every oppressor together.

5 Bango nyonso bakokoma lokola bilombe ya bitumba, oyo bakangamaka te na potopoto ya babalabala na tango ya bitumba. Lokola Yawe azali elongo na bango, bakobunda mpe bakolonga, ata basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda.

And they shall be as warriors treading clay in the ways in war; and they shall set the battle in array, because the Lord is with them, and the riders on horses shall be put to shame.

6 « Nakolendisa libota ya Yuda mpe nakobikisa libota ya Jozefi, nakozongisa bango lisusu na mokili na bango, pamba te nakoyokela bango mawa; bakozala lokola bato oyo nasundolaki te, pamba te nazali Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe nakoyanola bango.

And I will strengthen the house of Juda, and save the house of Joseph, and I will settle them; because I have loved them: and they shall be as [if] I had not cast them off: for I am the Lord their God, and I will hear them.

7 Bato ya Efrayimi bakokoma lokola bilombe ya bitumba; mitema na bango ekotonda na esengo lokola bato bameli masanga; bana na bango ya mibali bakomona yango mpe bakotonda na esengo, bongo mitema na bango ekosepela kati na Yawe.

And they shall be as the warriors of Ephraim, and their heart shall rejoice as with wine: and their children also shall see [it], and be glad; and their heart shall rejoice in the Lord.

8 Nakobeta piololo mpo na kobenga bango mpe nakosangisa bango esika moko. Solo, nakokangola bango, mpe bakokoma ebele ndenge bazalaki liboso.

I will make a sign to them, and gather them in; for I will redeem them, and they shall be multiplied according to their number before.

9 Ata soki napanzi bango kati na bikolo ya bapaya, ezala na mokili oyo eleki mosika, bakokanisa Ngai kaka. Bango elongo na bana na bango ya mibali bakobika mpe bakozonga na mokili na bango.

And I will sow them among the people; and they that are afar off shall remember me: they shall nourish their children, and they shall return.

10 Nakozongisa bango wuta na Ejipito; nakosangisa bango wuta na Asiri; nakomema bango na Galadi mpe na Libani; kasi atako bongo, esika ya kovanda ekozala moke mpo na bango.

And I will bring them again from the land of Egypt, and I will gather them in from among the Assyrians; and I will bring them into the land of Galaad and to Libanus; and there shall not even one of them be left behind.

11 Bakoleka na kati-kati ya ebale monene ya mitungisi; bambonge ya ebale monene ekovanda kimia, bozindo nyonso ya ebale Nili ekokawuka. Lolendo ya Asiri ekosila mpe lingenda ya bokonzi ya Ejipito ekolongwa.

And they shall pass through a narrow sea, they shall strike the waves in the sea, and all the deep places of the rivers shall be dried up: and all the pride of the Assyrians shall be taken away, and the sceptre of Egypt shall be removed.

12 Nakosala ete balendisama kati na Yawe: bakotambola na Kombo na Ye, » elobi Yawe.

And I will strengthen them in the Lord their God; and they shall boast in his name, says the Lord.
