Zakari 6
1 Tango natalaki lisusu, namonaki bashar minei liboso na ngai: ezali kobima na kati-kati ya bangomba mibale ya bronze.
And I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and, behold, there came four chariots out from between two mountains; and the mountains were mountains of brass.
2 Bampunda ya langi ya motane makasi ezalaki kobenda shar ya liboso, mpe bampunda ya langi ya mwindo ezalaki kobenda shar oyo ya mibale.
In the first chariot were red horses; and in the second chariot, black horses;
3 Bampunda ya langi ya pembe ezalaki kobenda shar oyo ya misato, bampunda ya madodo-madodo ezalaki kobenda shar oyo ya minei. Bampunda nyonso ya madodo-madodo ezalaki makasi.
and in the third chariot, white horses; and in the fourth chariot, spotted-red horses.
4 Natunaki Anjelu oyo azalaki kosolola na ngai: — Bampunda nyonso oyo elakisi nini, nkolo na ngai?
Then I spake, and said to the angel that talked with me, What are these, my lord?
5 Azongiselaki ngai: — Ezali Molimo ya likolo oyo akokende na bangambo nyonso minei ya mokili mobimba. Atelemaki liboso ya Nkolo ya mokili mobimba mpe sik’oyo abimi.
And the angel answered and said to me, These are the four Winds of heaven, which go forth from standing before the Lord of all the earth.
6 Shar oyo bampunda ya langi ya mwindo ezali kobenda ezali kokende na mokili ya nor; shar oyo bampunda ya langi ya pembe ezali kobenda ezali kolanda oyo ya liboso, mpe shar oyo bampunda ya madodo-madodo ezali kobenda ezali kokende na mokili ya sude.
The black horses, which are thereto, go forth into the north country, and the white go forth after them; and the spotted go forth into the south country.
7 Bampunda nyonso ya makasi ebimaki mpe etondaki na posa makasi ya kotambola na mabele. Boye, Anjelu alobaki na yango: « Bokende kotambola na mokili! » Mpe ebimaki mpo na kokende kotambola na mabele.
And the red ones went forth, and sought to go, even to walk to and fro through the earth. And he said, Go, walk ye to and fro through the earth! So they walked to and fro through the earth.
8 Abengaki ngai mpe alobaki na ngai: — Tala, bampunda oyo ezali kokende na mokili ya nor ekosala ete Molimo na ngai avanda na mokili wana ya nor.
Then he cried to me, and spake to me, saying, Behold, these that go forth toward the land of the North shall execute my wrath against the land of the North.
9 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of Jehovah came to me, saying:
10 — Kamata palata mpe wolo epai ya Elidayi, Tobiya mpe Yedaeya, ba-oyo bawuti na bowumbu wuta na Babiloni; mpe na mokolo yango kaka, kende yo moko na ndako ya Joziasi, mwana mobali ya Sofoni, epai wapi bakomeli.
Take from those of the captivity, from Heldai, from Tobijah, and from Jedaiah, and come thou the same day, and go into the house of Josiah, the son of Zephaniah, whither they are come from Babylon;
11 Kamata palata mpe wolo mpo ete osalela yango motole; bongo okolatisa yango Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yeotsadaki, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe.
take from them silver and gold, and make a crown, and set it upon the head of Joshua, the son of Josedech, the high-priest,
12 Okoyebisa ye maloba oyo: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Tala moto oyo kombo na ye ezali: Moto ya nzete. Nyonso ekobota esika ye azali, mpe ezali ye nde akotonga Tempelo ya Yawe.
and speak to him, saying, Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: — Behold a man whose name is the Branch, He shall spring up from his place, And he shall build the temple of Jehovah.
13 Ezali ye nde akotonga Tempelo ya Yawe; bakolatisa ye bilembo ya lokumu, mpe akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi mpo na kokonza. Mpe wana kaka na kiti na ye ya bokonzi, akozala mpe Nganga-Nzambe. Bongo misala nyonso mibale, ezala ya bokonzi to ya bonganga-Nzambe, ekotambola malamu. › »
He shall build the temple of Jehovah, And he shall bear the majesty, And sit and rule upon his throne, And be a priest upon his throne, And the counsel of peace shall be between them both.
14 Bakobomba motole yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe lokola ekaniseli mpo na kokanisa motema malamu ya Elidayi, ya Tobiya, ya Yedaeya mpe ya Eleme, mwana mobali ya Sofoni.
And the crown shall be to Helem, and to Tobijah, and to Jedaiah, and to Hen, the son of Zephaniah, for a memorial in the temple of Jehovah.
15 Bato oyo bakowuta mosika penza bakoya mpo na kosunga misala ya kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, bongo bokoyeba solo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde atindaki ngai epai na bino. Makambo oyo ekokokisama solo soki boluki kotosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino.
And they that are far off shall come and build in the temple of Jehovah; and ye shall know that Jehovah of hosts hath sent me to you. And this shall come to pass, if ye will diligently obey the voice of Jehovah, your God.
