Zechariah 12

1 The burden of the word of the Lord upon Israel. Thus saith the Lord, who stretcheth forth the heavens, and layeth the foundations of the earth, and formeth the spirit of man in him:

Liloba na Yawe. Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na tina na Isalaele. Yawe oyo atanda likolo mpe asala miboko ya mabele, Ye oyo atia Molimo na Ye kati na moto, alobi:

2 Behold I will make Jerusalem a lintel of surfeiting to all the people round about: and Juda also shall be in the siege against Jerusalem.

« Nakokomisa Yelusalemi lokola kopo ya vino oyo elangwisaka bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga na yango; bakozingela solo Yuda mpe Yelusalemi.

3 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will make Jerusalem a burdensome stone to all people: all that shall lift it up shall be rent and torn, and all the kingdoms of the earth shall be gathered together against her.

Na mokolo wana, nakokomisa Yelusalemi lokola libanga ya kilo liboso ya bikolo nyonso; moto nyonso oyo akoluka kotombola yango akozoka; mpe bikolo nyonso ekosangana mpo na kobundisa Yelusalemi.

4 In that day, saith the Lord, I will strike every horse with astonishment, and his rider with madness: and I will open my eyes upon the house of Juda, and will strike every horse of the nations with blindness.

Na mokolo wana, nakobangisa bampunda nyonso mpe nakokomisa batambolisi na yango liboma, » elobi Yawe. « Nakosenzela libota ya Yuda, kasi nakoboma miso ya bampunda nyonso ya bikolo.

5 And the governors of Juda shall say in their heart: Let the inhabitants of Jerusalem be strengthened for me in the Lord of hosts, their God.

Boye, bakambi ya Yuda bakomilobela: ‹ Bato ya Yelusalemi bazali makasi mpo ete Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali Nzambe na bango. ›

6 In that day I will make the governors of Juda like a furnace of fire amongst wood, and as a firebrand amongst hay: and they shall devour all the people round about, to the right hand, and to the left: and Jerusalem shall be inhabited again in her own place in Jerusalem.

Na mokolo wana, nakokomisa bakambi ya Yuda lokola moto kati na liboke ya bakoni, lokola koni ya moto na se ya liboke ya matiti ekawuka: bakozikisa bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga na bango, ezala oyo ezali na ngambo ya loboko na bango ya mobali to ya mwasi. Kasi Yelusalemi ekotikala kaka na esika na yango.

7 And the Lord shall save the tabernacles of Juda, as in the beginning: that the house of David, and the glory of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, may not boast and magnify themselves against Juda.

Yawe akobikisa liboso bandako ya kapo ya Yuda mpo ete lokumu ya libota ya Davidi mpe ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi eleka te lokumu ya Yuda.

8 In that day shall the Lord protect the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and he that hath offended among them in that day shall be as David: and the house of David, as that of God, as an angel of the Lord in their sight.

Na mokolo wana, Yawe akobatela bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpo ete bato ya bolembu kati na bango bakoma makasi lokola Davidi, mpe libota ya Davidi ekoma lokola Nzambe, lokola Anjelu ya Yawe, oyo azali kotambola liboso na bango.

9 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will seek to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.

Na mokolo wana, nakobima mpo na koboma bikolo nyonso oyo ekobundisa Yelusalemi.

10 And I will pour out upon the house of David, and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the spirit of grace, and of prayers: and they shall look upon me, whom they have pierced: and they shall mourn for him as one mourneth for an only son, and they shall grieve over him, as the manner is to grieve for the death of the firstborn.

Nakosopa Molimo ya ngolu mpe ya mabondeli epai ya libota ya Davidi mpe epai ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi. Bakosembola miso na bango epai na Ngai oyo batobolaki. Bakosalela ye matanga ndenge kaka basalaka matanga ya mwana oyo abotama kaka ye moko; bakolela ye makasi ndenge balelaka mwana mobali ya liboso oyo asili kokufa.

11 In that day there shall be a great lamentation in Jerusalem like the lamentation of Adadremmon in the plain of Mageddon.

Na mokolo wana, matanga kati na Yelusalemi ekozala monene lokola matanga ya Adadi-Rimoni na etando ya Megido.

12 And the land shall mourn: families and families apart: the families of the house of David apart, and their women apart:

Mokili mobimba ekosala matanga, etuka na etuka na esika na yango elongo na basi na yango: etuka ya libota ya Davidi elongo na basi na yango, etuka ya libota ya Natan elongo na basi na yango,

13 The families of the house of Nathan apart, and their women apart: the families of the house of Levi apart, and their women apart: the families of Semei apart, and their women apart.

etuka ya libota ya Levi elongo na basi na yango, etuka ya libota ya Shimei elongo na basi na yango,

14 All the rest of the families, families and families apart, and their women apart.

mpe bituka nyonso oyo etikali elongo na basi na yango.
