< 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.
In that day, there shall be an opened fountain, for the house of David, and for the Inhabitants of Jerusalem, —for sin and for uncleanness.
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, in that day, declareth Yahweh of hosts, That I will cut off the names of idols out of the land, and they shall not be remembered any more, —Moreover also, even the prophets and the spirit of impurity, will I cause to pass away 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.
So shall it come about that, when any man shall prophesy again, then will his own father and his own mother, of whom he was born, say unto him, —Thou shalt not live! For falsehood hast thou spoken in the name of Yahweh, —So will his own father and his own mother of whom he was born, pierce 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.
Yea it shall come to pass, in that day, that the prophets, will turn pale, every man by reason of his vision when he prophesieth, —neither will they put on a mantle of hair 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, No prophet, am I, —One tilling the ground, am I, for, one of the common people, hath owned me 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. ›
Then will one say unto him, What are these wounds between thy hands? And he will say, Wherewith I was wounded in the house of them who loved me.
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.
O Sword! awake against my shepherd, even against the man that is my companion, urgeth Yahweh of hosts, —Smite the shepherd, and let the flock, be scattered, Howbeit I will turn back my hand over 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 shall come to pass, in all the land, declareth Yahweh, Two-thirds therein, shall be cut off, and expire, —but, a third, 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 into the fire, and will smelt them as one smelteth silver, and will try them, as one trieth gold, —It, will call upon my name, and, I, will answer it, and will say, My people, it is! and, it, will say, Yahweh, is my God!
