Zakari 9
1 Liloba na Yawe. Liloba na Yawe ekomi na mokili ya Adraki, ekowumela na engumba Damasi, pamba te miso ya bato mpe ya mabota nyonso ya Isalaele ezali kotalela Yawe.
The burden of the word of Jehovah, in the land of Hadrach, and [on] Damascus shall it rest; (for Jehovah hath an eye upon men, and upon all the tribes of Israel; )
2 Tala, ekowumela lisusu likolo ya engumba Amati, na mondelo oyo ekabola yango na engumba Damasi, na engumba Tiri mpe Sidoni, atako baleki mayele.
and also [on] Hamath [which] bordereth thereon; on Tyre and Zidon, though she be very wise.
3 Engumba Tiri emitongeli yango moko ndako makasi, emibombeli palata ebele lokola putulu mpe wolo ebele lokola potopoto ya balabala.
And Tyre hath built herself a stronghold, and hath heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
4 Kasi Nkolo akobotola yango, akosukisa nguya na yango na ebale monene mpe ekozika na moto.
Behold, the Lord will take possession of her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
5 Engumba Ashikeloni ekomona yango mpe ekokoma kolenga; engumba Gaza ekokoma na somo makasi, ndenge moko mpe engumba Ekroni; pamba te elikya na yango ekosila. Engumba Gaza ekozangela mokonzi na yango mpe engumba Asikaloni ekotikala lisusu na bato te.
Ashkelon shall see [it], and fear; Gazah also, and she shall be greatly pained; Ekron also, for her expectation shall be put to shame: and the king shall perish from Gazah, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
6 Bana makangu bakoya kovanda na engumba Asidodi, mpe nakosilisa lolendo ya bato ya Filisitia.
And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines;
7 Nakolongola makila na minoko na bango, mpe bilei ya mbindo na minu na bango; kasi ba-oyo bakotikala bakokoma bato ya Nzambe na biso mpe bakambi ya Yuda; mpe bato ya engumba Ekroni bakokoma lokola bato ya Yebusi.
and I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; but he that remaineth, he also shall belong to our God, and shall be as a leader in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
8 Nakobundela ndako na Ngai liboso ya mampinga ya basoda ya nguya; monyokoli moko te akoya lisusu komonisa bato na Ngai pasi, pamba te Ngai moko nde nazali kokengela sik’oyo.
And I will encamp about my house because of the army, because of those that pass by and that return; and the exactor shall not pass through them any more: for now have I seen [it] with mine eyes.
9 Siona, mboka kitoko, sepela, sepela penza makasi! Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko, ganga penza na esengo! Tala, mokonzi na yo azali koya epai na yo, azali sembo mpe molongi, atonda na komikitisa, avandi na likolo ya ane, na likolo ya mwana ya ane, mwana ya ane ya mwasi.
Rejoice greatly, daughter of Zion; shout, daughter of Jerusalem! Behold, thy King cometh to thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
10 Nakolongola bashar ya bitumba na mokili ya Efrayimi, bampunda ya bitumba, na engumba Yelusalemi, mpe matolotolo ya bitumba ekobukana. Mokonzi yango akosakola kimia na bikolo nyonso, bokonzi na ye ekobanda longwa na ebale monene moko kino na mosusu, longwa na ebale kino na basuka ya mabele.
And I will cut off the chariot from Ephraim, and the horse from Jerusalem; and the battle-bow shall be cut off. And he shall speak peace unto the nations; and his dominion shall be from sea to sea, and from the river to the ends of the earth.
11 Mpo na yo, likolo ya makila ya boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo, nakobimisa bakangami na yo na libulu oyo ezanga mayi.
As for thee also, by the blood of thy covenant, I will send forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
12 Bozonga na ndako na bino, oyo batonga makasi, bino bakangami oyo botondi na elikya, pamba te nazali koloba na bino sik’oyo: « Nakozongisela bino mbala mibale biloko oyo bobungisaki. »
Turn again to the stronghold, prisoners of hope! even to-day do I declare I will render double unto thee.
13 Pamba te nabendi tolotolo na Ngai, oyo ezali Yuda, natie yango likonga na Ngai ya moke oyo ezali Efrayimi. Siona, nakotelemisa bana na yo ya mibali mpo ete batelemela bana mibali ya Yavani mpe nakokomisa yo lokola mopanga ya elombe.
For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will raise up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and make thee like the sword of a mighty man.
14 Yawe akomimonisa epai na bango, mpe tolotolo na Ye ekobima lokola mokalikali. Nkolo Yawe akobeta kelelo mpe akotambola kati na mopepe makasi.
And Jehovah shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning; and the Lord Jehovah will blow the trumpet, and will march with whirlwinds of the south.
15 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akobatela bango. Bakolia mpe bakobuka mabanga ya ebambelo mabanga, bakomela mpe bakosala makelele lokola bato balangwe masanga, bakotonda lokola kopo ya makila oyo basopaka na basonge ya etumbelo.
Jehovah of hosts will defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling-stones; and they shall drink, [and] make a noise as from wine; and they shall be filled like a bowl, like the corners of the altar.
16 Na mokolo wana, Yawe, Nzambe na bango, akobikisa bango ndenge mobateli bibwele abikisaka bameme na ye. Bakongenga makasi kati na mabele na Ye lokola mabanga ya talo.
And Jehovah their God shall save them in that day as the flock of his people; for [they shall be as] the stones of a crown, lifted up upon his land.
17 Bakozala bato ya esengo, bakokoma kitoko makasi. Ble ekopesa bilenge mibali makasi mpe vino ya sika ekopesa bilenge basi makasi.
For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! Corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maidens.
