1 Maloba ya Yawe mpo na kosambisa Ejipito: Tala, Yawe amati likolo ya mapata oyo ekendaka mbangu, azali koya na Ejipito. Banzambe ya bikeko ya Ejipito ezali kolenga liboso na Ye mpe mitema ya bato ya Ejipito elembi-lembi kati na bango.
The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rides upon a swift cloud, and shall come into Egypt: and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at his presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt in the midst of it.
2 « Nakosala ete bato ya Ejipito batelemelana bango na bango: ndeko akobundisa ndeko na ye, moninga akobundisa moninga na ye, engumba moko ekobundisa engumba mosusu, mpe mboka moko ekobundisa mboka mosusu.
And I will set the Egyptians against the Egyptians: and they shall fight every one against his brother, and every one against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
3 Bato ya Ejipito bakosila mayele, mpe nakobebisa mabongisi na bango nyonso; bakokende kotuna toli epai ya banzambe ya bikeko, epai ya milimo ya bakufi, epai ya bato oyo basololaka na milimo ya bakufi mpe epai ya bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya.
And the spirit of Egypt shall fail in the midst thereof; and I will destroy the counsel thereof: and they shall seek to the idols, and to the charmers, and to them that have familiar spirits, and to the wizards.
4 Nakokaba bato ya Ejipito na maboko ya bakonzi ya mitema mabe, mpe mokonzi moko ya kanda makasi akokonza bango, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
And the Egyptians will I give over into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, says the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
5 Mayi ya ebale monene ekokita, mpe mayi ya ebale ekosila mpe ekokawuka.
And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be wasted and dried up.
6 Mayi ya miluka ekokoma solo, mayi ya Ejipito ekokita mpe ekokawuka. Mpe lisusu, banzete oyo ebotaka na mayi ekokawuka,
And they shall turn the rivers far away; and the brooks of defence shall be emptied and dried up: the reeds and flags shall wither.
7 elongo na matiti oyo ezalaka pembeni ya Nili, na monoko ya ebale. Milona nyonso ya bilanga oyo ebotaka pembeni ya Nili ekokawuka mpe ekopumbwa na mopepe, eloko moko te ekotikala.
The paper reeds by the brooks, by the mouth of the brooks, and every thing sown by the brooks, shall wither, be driven away, and be no more.
8 Balobi mbisi bakonyokwama mpe bakokoma kolela, bato nyonso oyo babwakaka ndobo mpe minyama na ebale Nili bakokoma na pasi.
The fishers also shall mourn, and all they that cast angle into the brooks shall lament, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
9 Bato oyo basalaka lino bakokufa soni ya makasi, mpe bato oyo batongaka bilamba bakotonda na mawa.
Moreover they that work in fine flax, and they that weave networks, shall be confounded.
10 Bato oyo basimbaka mokili bakokweya, mpe basali nyonso bakolemba nzoto.
And they shall be broken in the purposes thereof, all that make sluices and ponds for fish.
11 Bakambi ya Tsoani bakomi penza lokola bazoba, bato ya bwanya ya Faraon bakomi kopesa batoli oyo ezanga tina. Ndenge nini bokoki penza koloba na Faraon: « Ngai, nazali moko kati na bato ya bwanya, moyekoli ya bakonzi ya kala? »
Surely the princes of Zoan are fools, the counsel of the wise counsellors of Pharaoh is become brutish: how say all of you unto Pharaoh, I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?
12 Wapi sik’oyo bato na yo ya bwanya? Tika ete balakisa yo mpe basosolisa yo makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abongisaki mpo na kotelemela Ejipito.
Where are they? where are your wise men? and let them tell you now, and let them know what the LORD of hosts has purposed upon Egypt.
13 Bakambi ya Tsoani bakomi lokola bazoba, bakambi ya Mefisi bakomi kokanisa makambo ya lokuta; nzokande bango, makonzi ya bikolo ya bato ya Ejipito, nde bazali kobungisa bato ya Ejipito nzela.
The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have also seduced Egypt, even they that are the stay of the tribes thereof.
14 Yawe atindeli bango molimo ya kizunguzungu: bango nde basalaki ete Ejipito ekoma kotenga-tenga na misala na yango nyonso ndenge moto oyo alangwe masanga atengaka-tengaka.
The LORD has mingled a perverse spirit in the midst thereof: and they have caused Egypt to go astray in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggers in his vomit.
15 Eloko moko te ekosalema lisusu na Ejipito, ezala na moto to na mokila, na lindalala ya nzete ya mbila to na nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi.
Neither shall there be any work for Egypt, which the head or tail, branch or rush, may do.
16 Na mokolo wana, bato ya Ejipito bakokoma lokola basi. Bakolenga na somo na koningana ya loboko oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, atomboli mpo na kotelemela bango.
In that day shall Egypt be like unto women: and it shall be afraid and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which he shakes over it.
17 Bongo mokili ya Yuda ekolengisa bato ya Ejipito na somo. Tango nyonso bakoyoka kombo ya Yuda, bakolenga na somo mpo na mabongisi nyonso oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asalaki mpo na kotelemela bango.
And the land of Judah shall be a terror unto Egypt, every one that makes mention thereof shall be afraid in himself, because of the counsel of the LORD of hosts, which he has determined against it.
18 Na mokolo wana, bingumba mitano kati na Ejipito ekokoma koloba lokota ya Bayuda mpe kolapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. Bongo moko kati na yango ekobenga yango: Engumba ya moyi.
In that day shall five cities in the land of Egypt speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called, The city of destruction.
19 Na mokolo wana, bakotonga etumbelo moko na kati-kati ya Ejipito mpe bakotia likonzi moko lokola ekaniseli mpo na Yawe, na bandelo ya mokili.
In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
20 Ekozala lokola elembo mpe litatoli mpo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, na mokili ya Ejipito. Tango bakoganga epai na Yawe likolo na banyokoli na bango, akotindela bango mobikisi mpe mobundeli, mpe akobikisa bango.
And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them.
21 Boye, Yawe akomimonisa epai na bato ya Ejipito. Mpe na mokolo wana, bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba Yawe, bakogumbamela Ye na bambeka mpe na makabo ya bambuma; bakolapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe mpe bakokokisa yango.
And the LORD shall be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day, and shall do sacrifice and oblation; yea, they shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and perform it.
22 Kasi Yawe akobeta Ejipito na nzela ya bitumbu, akobeta yango mpe akobikisa yango. Bakozonga epai na Yawe, bongo akoyanola na kolela na bango mpe akobikisa bango.
And the LORD shall strike Egypt: he shall strike and heal it: and they shall return even to the LORD, and he shall be implored of them, and shall heal them.
23 Na mokolo wana, bakopasola nzela moko wuta na Ejipito kino na Asiri. Bato ya Asiri bakokoma koya na Ejipito, mpe bato ya Ejipito bakokoma koya na Asiri. Bato ya Ejipito mpe bato ya Asiri bakokoma kosala elongo losambo mpo na Yawe.
In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians shall serve with the Assyrians.
24 Na mokolo wana, Isalaele akozala ekolo ya misato, sima na Ejipito mpe Asiri, lipamboli oyo Nzambe akomema na mokili.
In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, even a blessing in the midst of the land:
25 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akopambola bango na maloba oyo: « Tika ete bopambolama: Ejipito, bato na Ngai; Asiri, misala ya maboko na Ngai, mpe Isalaele, libula na Ngai! »
Whom the LORD of hosts shall bless, saying, Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel mine inheritance.
