Zakari 2
1 Natombolaki lisusu miso mpe namonaki moto moko liboso na ngai, asimbaki singa oyo bamekelaka molayi, na loboko na ye.
And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold a man, with a measuring line in his hand.
2 Natunaki ye: — Ozali kokende wapi? Azongiselaki ngai: — Nazali kokende komeka molayi ya Yelusalemi mpo na koyeba mokuse mpe molayi na yango.
And I said: Whither goest thou? and he said to me: To measure Jerusalem, and to see how great is the breadth thereof, and how great the length thereof.
3 Bongo Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai atikaki ngai, mpe Anjelu mosusu ayaki mpo na kokutana na ye
And behold the angel that spoke in me went forth, and another angel went out to meet him.
4 mpe alobaki na ye: — Kima mbangu penza, mpe kende koloba na elenge mobali wana: « Yelusalemi ekotikala lisusu na bamir te mpo ete motango ya bato mpe ya banyama oyo bazali kati na yango ekokoma ebele koleka.
And he said to him: Run, speak to this young man, saying: Jerusalem shall be inhabited without walls, by reason of the multitude of men, and of the beasts in the midst thereof.
5 Ngai moko, nakozala mir ya moto zingazinga na yango, » elobi Yawe, « mpe nakomonisa nkembo na Ngai kati na yango. »
And I will be to it, saith the Lord, a wall of fire round about: and I will be in glory in the midst thereof.
6 Tokende! Tokende! Tobima noki na mokili ya nor, elobi Yawe, pamba te Ngai moko nde napanzaki bino na mokili mobimba, elobi Yawe.
O, O flee ye out of the land of the north, saith the Lord, for I have scattered you into the four winds of heaven, saith the Lord.
7 Siona, tokende! Bima noki, yo oyo ovandaka na Babiloni, mboka kitoko!
O Sion, flee, thou that dwellest with the daughter of Babylon:
8 Pamba te tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo apesaki ngai mokumba ya kosakola mpo na kotelemela bikolo oyo ebotolaki bino biloko na makasi alobi: Moto nyonso oyo akosimba yo akosimba nde mbuma ya liso na Ngai.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts: After the glory he hath sent me to the nations that have robbed you: for he that toucheth you, toucheth the apple of my eye:
9 Solo, nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kotelemela bango mpo ete bawumbu na bango babotola bango biloko na makasi. Na bongo nde bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai.
For behold I lift up my hand upon them, and they shall be a prey to those that served them: and you shall know that the Lord of hosts sent me.
10 Siona, mboka kitoko, ganga na esengo mpe sepela, pamba te nazali koya kovanda kati na yo, elobi Yawe.
Sing praise, and rejoice, O daughter of Sion: for behold I come, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: saith the Lord.
11 Na mokolo wana, bato ya bikolo ebele bakoya kosangana elongo na Yawe mpe bakokoma bato na Ngai. Nakovanda kati na bino; mpe na bongo, bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai epai na bino.
And many nations shall be joined to the Lord in that day, and they shall be my people, and I will dwell in the midst of thee: and thou shalt know that the Lord of hosts hath sent me to thee.
12 Yawe akokomisa Yuda lokola libula na Ye moko penza kati na mabele ebulisama, mpe akopona lisusu Yelusalemi.
And the Lord shall possess Juda his portion in the sanctified land: and he shall yet choose Jerusalem.
13 Tika ete bato ya mokili mobimba bavanda kimia liboso ya Yawe, pamba te Ye moko atelemi mpe abimi na Ndako na Ye ya bule.
Let all flesh be silent at the presence of the Lord: for he is risen up out of his. holy habitation.
