Zakari 13
1 Na mokolo wana, etima moko ekobimisa mayi mpo na kopetola masumu mpe mbindo ya libota ya Davidi mpe ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
On that day shall there be a fountain opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, for cleansing from sin and for purification.
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 shall come to pass on that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will cut off the names of the idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more: and also the prophets and the unclean spirit will I remove out of 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 it shall come to pass, if any one should yet prophesy, that his father and his mother who have begotten him shall say unto him, Thou shalt not live; for falsely hast thou spoken in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who have begotten him shall thrust him through when he prophesieth.
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 shall come to pass on that day, that the prophets shall be ashamed every one because of his vision, when he prophesieth; and they shall not clothe themselves with a hairy cloak in order to deceive.
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, a man that tilleth the ground am I; for some one hath taught me to keep cattle from my youth.
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 should some one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? Then will he say, Those with which I have been wounded in the house of my [vicious] 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 my shepherd, and against the man whom I have associated with me, saith the Lord of hosts: smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered; but I will turn my hand toward the feeble 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 shall come to pass, that in all the land, saith the Lord, two parts [of those] therein shall be cut off, shall perish; but the third part shall be left therein.
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 bring the third part into the fire, and I will refine them as one refineth silver, and will probe them as gold is probed: they will call on my name, and I will answer their prayer; I will say, They arc my people; and they will say, The Lord is my God.
