Zakari 13

1 Na mokolo wana, etima moko ekobimisa mayi mpo na kopetola masumu mpe mbindo ya libota ya Davidi mpe ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi.

In that day every place shall be opened to the house of David and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem for removal and for separation.

2 Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nakosala ete bakombo ya banzambe ya bikeko elimwa na mokili; boye bakotikala kokanisa yango lisusu te. Nakolongola lisusu kati na mokili basakoli mpe molimo ya mbindo.

And it shall come to pass in that day, says the Lord of hosts, [that] I will utterly destroy the names of the idols from off the land, and there shall be no longer [any] remembrance of them: and I will cut off the false prophets and the evil spirit from the land.

3 Boye, soki moto moko akobi kosakola, tika ete tata mpe mama oyo babota ye baloba na ye: ‹ Osengeli kokufa mpo ete olobi makambo ya lokuta na Kombo na Yawe! › Wana akozala kosakola, baboti na ye bakotobola ye na mopanga.

And it shall come to pass, if a man will yet prophesy, that his father and his mother which gave birth to him shall say to him, You shall not live; for you has spoken lies in the name of the Lord: and his father and his mother who gave him birth shall bind him as he is prophesying.

4 Na mokolo wana, mosakoli moko na moko akozala na soni mpo na kosakola mpe koloba bimoniseli na ye; akokosa lisusu bato te na kolataka bilamba ya basakoli, oyo basala na bapwale.

And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the prophets shall be ashamed every one of his vision when he prophesies; and they shall clothe themselves with a garment of hair, because they have lied.

5 Akoloba: ‹ Nazali na ngai mosakoli te; ngai nasalaka na ngai bilanga, mabele nde ezalaka libula na ngai wuta bolenge na ngai! ›

And [one] shall say, I am not a prophet, for I am a tiller of the ground, for a man brought me up [thus] from my youth.

6 Soki batuni ye: ‹ Bongo bapota oyo ezali na tolo na yo ewuti wapi? › Akozongisa: ‹ Nazokaki yango kati na ndako ya balingami na ngai. ›

And I will say to him, What are these wounds between your hands? and he shall say, [Those] with which I was wounded in my beloved house.

7 Oh mopanga, telema! Tika ete otelema mpo na koboma mobateli bibwele na Ngai! Tika ete oboma moninga na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Beta mobateli bibwele, mpe bameme ekopalangana. Bongo nakoboma ata bibwele ya mike.

Awake, O sword, against my shepherds, and against the man [who is] my citizen, says the Lord Almighty: strike the shepherds, and draw out the sheep: and I will bring mine hand upon the little ones.

8 Na mokili mobimba, » elobi Yawe, « bandambo mibale ya bato kati na bandambo misato bakobebisama mpe bakokufa; mpe ndambo moko ya bato kati na bandambo misato nde bakotikala na mokili.

And it shall come to pass, [that] in all the land, says the Lord, two parts thereof shall be cut off and perish; but the third shall be left therein.

9 Nakomema ndambo moko wana ya bato na moto, nakopetola bango ndenge bapetolaka palata na moto mpe nakomeka bango ndenge bamekaka wolo na moto; bakobelela Kombo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakoyanola bango. Nakoloba na bango: ‹ Bozali bato na Ngai, › mpe bango bakoloba: ‹ Yawe azali Nzambe na biso! › »

And I will bring the third [part] through the fire, and I will try them as silver is tried, and I will prove them as gold is proved: they shall call upon my name, and I will hear them, and say, This is my people: and they shall say, The Lord [is] my God.
