Zakari 8
1 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobaki na ngai:
Againe the worde of the Lord of hostes came to me, saying,
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Nazali na zuwa makasi mpo na Siona, mpo ete nalingaka yango makasi na motema na Ngai. › »
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, I was ielous for Zion with great ielousie, and I was ielous for her with great wrath.
3 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakozonga na Siona mpe nakovanda kati na Yelusalemi. Boye, Yelusalemi ekobengama Engumba ya bosolo; mpe ngomba ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ekobengama Ngomba ya bule. »
Thus saith the Lord, I wil returne vnto Zion, and wil dwel in the mids of Ierusalem: and Ierusalem shalbe called a citie of trueth, and the Mountaine of the Lord of hostes, the holy Mountaine.
4 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Mibange ya mibali mpe ya basi bakotonda lisusu na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, moto na moto na nzete na ye na loboko mpo na kimobange.
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, There shall yet olde men and olde women dwell in the streetes of Ierusalem, and euery man with his staffe in his hand for very age.
5 Babalabala ya engumba ekotonda lisusu na bilenge mibali mpe basi oyo bakokoma kosakana kuna. »
And the streetes of the citie shalbe full of boyes and girles, playing in the streetes thereof.
6 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Boni, soki, na tango wana, ekomonana lokola likambo ya kokamwa na miso ya batikali kati na bato oyo, Ngai mpe namona yango likambo ya kokamwa? » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, Though it be vnpossible in the eyes of the remnant of this people in these dayes, should it therefore be vnpossible in my sight, sayth the Lord of hostes?
7 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Nakobikisa bato na Ngai, longwa na mokili ya este kino na mokili ya weste.
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Beholde, I will deliuer my people from the East countrey, and from the West countrey.
8 Nakozongisa bango mpo ete bavanda na Yelusalemi; bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango na boyengebene mpe na bosembo. »
And I wil bring them, and they shall dwel in the mids of Ierusalem, and they shalbe my people, and I wil be their God in trueth, and in righteousnes.
9 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Bino ba-oyo, na mikolo oyo, bozali koyoka maloba kaka oyo basakoli balobaki, lokola bazalaki awa na tango miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ezalaki kotongama, boyika mpiko mpe bolendisa maboko na bino mpo na kotonga Tempelo oyo ya Yawe.
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Let your hands be strong, ye that heare in these dayes these words by the mouth of the Prophets, which were in the day, that the foundation of the House of the Lord of hostes was laide, that the Temple might be builded.
10 Pamba te, liboso ya tango wana, bato bazalaki kozwa lifuti ya malonga te na misala na bango, mpe banyama ezalaki kopesa ata litomba moko te; moto moko te azalaki kokende na mosala na ye na kimia likolo ya kobanga banguna, pamba te nasalaki ete moto moko na moko atelemela moninga na ye.
For before these dayes there was no hire for man nor any hire for beast, neither was there any peace to him that went out or came in because of the affliction: for I set all men, euery one against his neighbour.
11 Kasi sik’oyo, nakosala lisusu te, na ndambo ya bato oyo batikali, makambo oyo nasalaki na tango ya kala, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
But nowe, I wil not intreate the residue of this people as aforetime, saith the Lord of hostes.
12 « Solo, milona ekokola malamu, bilanga ya vino ekobota bambuma na yango, mabele ekobimisa biloko ebele, mpe likolo ekonokisa mvula. Nakopesa biloko oyo nyonso lokola libula epai ya batikali kati na bato oyo.
For the seede shall be prosperous: the vine shall giue her fruite, and the ground shall giue her increase, and the heauens shall giue their dewe, and I will cause the remnant of this people to possesse all these things.
13 Libota ya Yuda mpe libota ya Isalaele, bobanga ata eloko moko te, boyika kaka mpiko; pamba te ndenge bokomaki bikolo elakelama mabe kati na bikolo mosusu, ndenge wana mpe nakobikisa bino, mpe bokozala lipamboli. »
And it shall come to passe, that as ye were a curse among the heathen, O house of Iudah, and house of Israel, so wil I deliuer you, and ye shalbe a blessing: feare not, but let your hands be strong.
14 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Ndenge kaka nazwaki mokano ya kotindela bino pasi mpe ya koyokela bino mawa te tango batata na bino batumbolaki kanda na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga,
For thus sayth the Lord of hostes, As I thought to punish you, when your fathers prouoked me vnto wrath, sayth the Lord of hostes, and repented not,
15 « ndenge wana mpe nazwi mokano sik’oyo ya komonisa lisusu bolamu na Yelusalemi mpe na Yuda. Bozala na bobangi te.
So againe haue I determined in these daies to doe well vnto Ierusalem, and to the house of Iudah: feare ye not.
16 Tala makambo oyo bosengeli kosala: Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino alobaka solo na moninga na ye; bosambisaka na bosolo mpe bokataka makambo na bosembo kati na bisambiselo na bino,
These are ye things that ye shall doe. Speake ye euery man the trueth vnto his neighbour: execute iudgement truely and vprightly in your gates,
17 bosalaka mabongisi ya komonisa baninga na bino pasi te, bolingaka te kolapa ndayi ya lokuta; pamba te makambo wana nyonso, nayina yango makasi, » elobi Yawe.
And let none of you imagine euill in your hearts against his neighbour, and loue no false othe: for all these are the things that I hate, saith the Lord.
18 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobaki na ngai:
And the worde of the Lord of hostes came vnto me, saying,
19 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Mikolo ya kokila bilei ya sanza ya minei, ya mitano, ya sambo mpe ya zomi ekokoma mikolo ya esengo mpe ya kosepela, ekokoma bafeti ya nkembo mpe ya esengo mpo na libota ya Yuda. Kasi bolinga solo mpe kimia. »
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, The fast of the fourth moneth, and the fast of the fift, and the fast of the seuenth, and the fast of the tenth, shall be to the house of Iudah ioy and gladnes, and prosperous hie feasts: therefore loue the trueth and peace.
20 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Bato ya bikolo ebele mpe bavandi ya bingumba ya ndenge na ndenge bakoya lisusu;
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, That there shall yet come people, and the inhabitants of great cities.
21 bamoko bakowuta na engumba moko mpo na kokende na engumba mosusu mpe bakoloba: ‹ Tokende kobondela Yawe mpe koluka elongi na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! › Bongo bamosusu bakozongisela bango: ‹ Ngai mpe nakokende! ›
And they that dwell in one citie, shall go to another, saying, Vp, let vs go and pray before the Lord, and seeke the Lord of hostes: I wil go also.
22 Boye bato ebele mpe bikolo ya nguya bakoya na Yelusalemi mpo na koluka elongi na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpe bakobondela Ye. »
Yea, great people and mightie nations shall come to seeke the Lord of hostes in Ierusalem, and to pray before the Lord.
23 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Na mikolo wana, bato zomi ya bikolo mpe ya nkota ya ndenge na ndenge bakokanga songe ya nzambala ya Moyuda moko mpe bakoloba: ‹ Tika ete tokende elongo na yo, pamba te toyoki ete Nzambe azali na bino elongo. › »
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, In those dayes shall ten men take holde out of all languages of the nations, euen take holde of the skirt of him that is a Iewe, and say, We will go with you: for we haue heard that God is with you.
