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 of the LORD rain in the spring time, the LORD who makes storm clouds, and he gives rain showers to everyone for the plants 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 teraphim have spoken vanity, and the diviners have seen a lie; and they have told false dreams. They comfort in vain. Therefore they go their way like sheep. They are oppressed, because there is no shepherd.
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.
My anger is kindled against the shepherds, and I will punish the male goats, for the LORD of Hosts has visited his flock, the house of Judah, and will make them as his majestic horse in the battle.
4 Na Yuda nde ekobimela libanga ya songe ya ndako, likonzi ya ndako ya kapo, tolotolo ya bitumba mpe bakambi nyonso.
From him will come the cornerstone, from him the tent peg, from him the battle bow, from him every ruler 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.
They will be as mighty men, treading down muddy streets in the battle. They will fight, because the LORD is with them. The riders on horses will be confounded.
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.
“I will strengthen the house of Judah, and I will save the house of Joseph. I will bring them back, for I have mercy on them. They will be as though 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.
Ephraim will be like a mighty man, and their heart will rejoice as through wine. Yes, their children will see it and rejoice. Their heart will be glad 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 signal for them and gather them, for I have redeemed them. They will increase as they were 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.
I will sow them among the peoples. They will remember me in far countries. They will live with their children and will 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.
I will bring them again also out of the land of Egypt, and gather them out of Assyria. I will bring them into the land of Gilead and Lebanon; and there won’t be room enough for them.
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.
He will pass through the sea of affliction, and will strike the waves in the sea, and all the depths of the Nile will dry up; and the pride of Assyria will be brought down, and the scepter of Egypt will depart.
12 Nakosala ete balendisama kati na Yawe: bakotambola na Kombo na Ye, » elobi Yawe.
I will strengthen them in the LORD. They will walk up and down in his name,” says the LORD.
