1 Na mokolo wana, etima moko ekobimisa mayi mpo na kopetola masumu mpe mbindo ya libota ya Davidi mpe ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
In that day there will be a fountain open to the family of David and to the people of Jerusalem, for sin and for that which is unclean.
2 Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nakosala ete bakombo ya banzambe ya bikeko elimwa na mokili; boye bakotikala kokanisa yango lisusu te. Nakolongola lisusu kati na mokili basakoli mpe molimo ya mbindo.
And it will come about on that day, says the Lord of armies, that I will have the names of the images cut off out of the land, and there will be no more memory of them: and I will send all the prophets and the unclean spirit away from the land.
3 Boye, soki moto moko akobi kosakola, tika ete tata mpe mama oyo babota ye baloba na ye: ‹ Osengeli kokufa mpo ete olobi makambo ya lokuta na Kombo na Yawe! › Wana akozala kosakola, baboti na ye bakotobola ye na mopanga.
And if anyone goes on acting as a prophet, then his father and his mother who gave him life will say to him, You may not go on living, for you are saying what is false in the name of the Lord; and his father and his mother will put a sword through him when he does so.
4 Na mokolo wana, mosakoli moko na moko akozala na soni mpo na kosakola mpe koloba bimoniseli na ye; akokosa lisusu bato te na kolataka bilamba ya basakoli, oyo basala na bapwale.
And it will come about in that day that the prophets will be shamed, every man on account of his vision, when he is talking as a prophet; and they will not put on a robe of hair for purposes of deceit:
5 Akoloba: ‹ Nazali na ngai mosakoli te; ngai nasalaka na ngai bilanga, mabele nde ezalaka libula na ngai wuta bolenge na ngai! ›
But he will say, I am no prophet, but a worker on the land; for I have been an owner of land from the time when I was young.
6 Soki batuni ye: ‹ Bongo bapota oyo ezali na tolo na yo ewuti wapi? › Akozongisa: ‹ Nazokaki yango kati na ndako ya balingami na ngai. ›
And if anyone says to him, What are these wounds between your hands? then he will say, Those with which I was wounded in the house of my friends.
7 Oh mopanga, telema! Tika ete otelema mpo na koboma mobateli bibwele na Ngai! Tika ete oboma moninga na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Beta mobateli bibwele, mpe bameme ekopalangana. Bongo nakoboma ata bibwele ya mike.
Awake! O sword, against the keeper of my flock, and against him who is with me, says the Lord of armies: put to death the keeper of the sheep, and the sheep will go in flight: and my hand will be turned against the little ones.
8 Na mokili mobimba, » elobi Yawe, « bandambo mibale ya bato kati na bandambo misato bakobebisama mpe bakokufa; mpe ndambo moko ya bato kati na bandambo misato nde bakotikala na mokili.
And it will come about that in all the land, says the Lord, two parts of it will be cut off and come to an end; but the third will be still living there.
9 Nakomema ndambo moko wana ya bato na moto, nakopetola bango ndenge bapetolaka palata na moto mpe nakomeka bango ndenge bamekaka wolo na moto; bakobelela Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakoyanola bango. Nakoloba na bango: ‹ Bozali bato na Ngai, › mpe bango bakoloba: ‹ Yawe azali Nzambe na biso! › »
And I will make the third part go through the fire, cleaning them as silver is made clean, and testing them as gold is tested: and they will make their prayer to me and I will give them an answer: I will say, It is my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
