< Zechariah 9 >

1 The burden of the word of the LORD upon the land of Hadrach, and Damascus [shall be] its resting place: for the eye of man and of all the tribes of Israel is toward the LORD:
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.
2 and Hamath also which bordereth thereon: Tyre and Zidon, because she is very wise.
Tala, ekowumela lisusu likolo ya engumba Amati, na mondelo oyo ekabola yango na engumba Damasi, na engumba Tiri mpe Sidoni, atako baleki mayele.
3 And Tyre did build herself a strong hold, and heaped up silver as the dust, and fine gold as the mire of the streets.
Engumba Tiri emitongeli yango moko ndako makasi, emibombeli palata ebele lokola putulu mpe wolo ebele lokola potopoto ya balabala.
4 Behold, the Lord will dispossess her, and he will smite her power in the sea; and she shall be devoured with fire.
Kasi Nkolo akobotola yango, akosukisa nguya na yango na ebale monene mpe ekozika na moto.
5 Ashkelon shall see it, and fear; Gaza also, and shall be sore pained; and Ekron, for her expectation shall be ashamed: and the king shall perish from Gaza, and Ashkelon shall not be inhabited.
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.
6 And a bastard shall dwell in Ashdod, and I will cut off the pride of the Philistines.
Bana makangu bakoya kovanda na engumba Asidodi, mpe nakosilisa lolendo ya bato ya Filisitia.
7 And I will take away his blood out of his mouth, and his abominations from between his teeth; and he also shall be a remnant for our God: and he shall be as a chieftain in Judah, and Ekron as a Jebusite.
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.
8 And I will encamp about mine house against the army, that none pass through or return: and no oppressor shall pass through them any more: for now have I seen with mine eyes.
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.
9 Rejoice greatly, O daughter of Zion; shout, O daughter of Jerusalem: behold, thy king cometh unto thee: he is just, and having salvation; lowly, and riding upon an ass, even upon a colt the foal of an ass.
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.
10 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.
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.
11 As for thee also, because of the blood of thy covenant I have sent forth thy prisoners out of the pit wherein is no water.
Mpo na yo, likolo ya makila ya boyokani na Ngai elongo na yo, nakobimisa bakangami na yo na libulu oyo ezanga mayi.
12 Turn you to the strong hold, ye prisoners of hope: even today do I declare that I will render double unto thee.
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. »
13 For I have bent Judah for me, I have filled the bow with Ephraim; and I will stir up thy sons, O Zion, against thy sons, O Greece, and will make thee as the sword of a mighty man.
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.
14 And the LORD shall be seen over them, and his arrow shall go forth as the lightning: and the Lord GOD shall blow the trumpet, and shall go with whirlwinds of the south.
Yawe akomimonisa epai na bango, mpe tolotolo na Ye ekobima lokola mokalikali. Nkolo Yawe akobeta kelelo mpe akotambola kati na mopepe makasi.
15 The LORD of hosts shall defend them; and they shall devour, and shall tread down the sling stones; and they shall drink, and make a noise as through wine: and they shall be filled like bowls, like the corners of the altar.
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.
16 And the LORD 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 on high over his land.
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.
17 For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men flourish, and new wine the maids.
Bakozala bato ya esengo, bakokoma kitoko makasi. Ble ekopesa bilenge mibali makasi mpe vino ya sika ekopesa bilenge basi makasi.
