Ezayi 25
1 Yawe, ozali Nzambe na ngai; nakonetola Yo mpe nakosanzola Kombo na Yo; pamba te na boyengebene na Yo ya kokoka, osalaki mabongisi ya kokamwa, makambo oyo obongisa wuta kala.
O Lord, you are my God; I will exalt you, I will praise your name; for you have done wonderful things; your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
2 Okomisaki engumba mopiku ya mabanga, okomisaki bingumba ya makasi maboke ya mabanga; bandako batonga makasi ya bapaya etikali lisusu na bilongi ya engumba te, bakotonga yango lisusu te.
For you have made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
3 Yango wana, bato ya nguya bakopesa Yo lokumu, bingumba ya bikolo ya kanza ekotosa Yo.
Therefore shall the strong people glorify you, the city of the terrible nations shall fear you.
4 Ozalaki ekimelo mpo na mobola, ekimelo mpo na moto oyo akelela, na tango ya pasi, ebombamelo na tango ya mvula makasi mpe pio na tango ya molunge. Pamba te pema ya banyokoli ezali lokola mvula ya makasi oyo ebukaka bamir;
For you have been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
5 mpe lokola moto ya moyi na zelo ya esobe. Osilisaki makelele ya bapaya ndenge pio ya mapata esilisaka molunge; boye nde nzembo ya banyokoli esilaki.
You shall bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
6 Na ngomba oyo, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akobongisa feti ya biloko kitoko mpo na bato nyonso, feti monene ya vino ya kala, ya misuni oyo eleki mafuta mpe ya vino ya kala oyo balongola malamu salite.
And in this mountain shall the LORD of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the sediments of wine, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the sediments of wine well refined.
7 Kaka na ngomba oyo, akobebisa vwale oyo esili kozipa bato nyonso, bulangeti oyo ezipi bikolo nyonso;
And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
8 akolimwisa kufa mpo na libela. Nkolo Yawe akopangusa mpinzoli na bilongi nyonso, akolongola soni ya bato na Ye kati na mokili mobimba. Solo, Yawe alobi.
He will swallow up death in victory; and the Lord GOD will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for the LORD has spoken it.
9 Na mokolo wana, bakoloba: « Solo, Oyo azali penza Nzambe na biso! Totiaki mitema epai na Ye mpe abikisi biso. Oyo azali solo Yawe, totiaki mitema epai na Ye; tika ete tosepela mpe tozala na esengo mpo na lobiko oyo apesi biso! »
And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
10 Loboko na Yawe ekozala na ngomba oyo, kasi bakonyata-nyata Moabi na mokili na bango ndenge banyataka matiti kati na libulu ya fimie.
For in this mountain shall the hand of the LORD rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
11 Akosembola maboko na Ye kati na yango ndenge basembolaka maboko mpo na kokata mayi. Nzambe akokitisa lolendo na bango mpe mayele ya maboko na bango;
And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swins spreads forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
12 akobuka bamir milayi na bino ya makasi mpe akolalisa yango na se; akokweyisa yango na mabele kino ekoma putulu.
And the fortress of the high fort of your walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
