< Isaiah 30 >

1 Woe to the rebellious sons, says Jehovah, who take counsel, but not of me, and who make a league, but not of my Spirit, that they may add sin to sin,
« Mawa na bana ya mito makasi, » elobi Yawe: « basalaka mabongisi oyo ewutaka epai na Ngai te mpe basalaka boyokani oyo ewuti na Molimo na Ngai te, mpo ete babakisa lisumu likolo ya lisumu;
2 who set out to go down into Egypt, and have not asked at my mouth, to strengthen themselves in the strength of Pharaoh, and to take refuge in the shadow of Egypt!
mawa na bato oyo bakendaka na Ejipito, na kozanga kotuna toli na Ngai, mpo na koluka lisungi ya kobatelama epai ya Faraon mpe koluka ebombamelo na se ya elili ya Ejipito!
3 Therefore the strength of Pharaoh shall be your shame, and the refuge in the shadow of Egypt your confusion.
Kasi ndako batonga makasi ya Faraon epai wapi bokokimela ekokomela bino soni, mpe elili ya Ejipito ekokoma likambo ya soni makasi.
4 For their rulers are at Zoan, and their ambassadors have come to Hanes.
Ata bakalaka na bango bazali na Tsoani mpe bantoma na bango bakomi na Anesi,
5 They shall all be ashamed because of a people who cannot profit them, who are not a help nor profit, but a shame, and also a reproach.
bango nyonso bakoyoka kaka soni na miso ya bato oyo bakosunga bango ata moke te, oyo bakopesa bango ata lisungi to litomba moko te, kasi bobele soni mpe kotiolama. »
6 The burden of the beasts of the South. Through the land of trouble and anguish, from where come the lioness and the lion, the viper and fiery flying serpent, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of young donkeys, and their treasures upon the humps of camels, to a people who shall not profit them.
Maloba na Yawe na tina na banyama ya Negevi: Kati na mokili ya pasi mpe ya kobanga, mokili ya bankosi ya mibali mpe ya bankosi ya basi, ya etupa mpe ya banyoka oyo epumbwaka, bantoma bazali komema bozwi na bango na mikongo ya ba-ane, bomengo na bango na mikongo ya bashamo, epai ya ekolo oyo ekotikala kopesa bango ata litomba moko te:
7 For Egypt helps in vain, and to no purpose. Therefore I have called her Rahab who sits still.
ekolo ya Ejipito oyo lisungi na yango ekozala penza na tina moko te; yango wana, napesi yango kombo « Rahavi. »
8 Now go, write it before them on a tablet, and inscribe it on a scroll, that it may be for the time to come forever and ever.
Kende sik’oyo, koma makambo oyo na etando ya libanga liboso na bango, koma yango na buku moko mpo ete na mikolo oyo ekoya, ezala lokola litatoli ya libela na libela.
9 For it is a rebellious people, lying sons, sons who will not hear the law of Jehovah,
Bato oyo bazali libota ya batomboki, bazali bana ya lokuta, bana oyo balingaka te koyoka mateya ya Yawe;
10 who say to the seers, Do not see, and to the prophets, Do not prophesy to us right things. Speak to us smooth things. Prophesy deceits.
balobaka na bato oyo bamonaka makambo: « Bomona te, » mpe na basakoli: « Bosakolela biso bimoniseli ya solo te, boyebisa biso makambo oyo esepelisaka biso, bosakolela biso makambo ya lokuta.
11 Get you out of the way. Turn aside out of the path. Cause the Holy One of Israel to cease from before us.
Botika nzela wana, bobima penza na nzela wana mpe botika kotungisa biso mpo na Mosantu ya Isalaele! »
12 Therefore thus says the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and rely on it,
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Mosantu ya Isalaele alobi: « Lokola bobwaki maloba oyo, lokola bokangami na monyokoli mpe na mokosi oyo bozali kotiela motema,
13 therefore this iniquity shall be to you as a breach ready to fall, swelling out in a high wall, whose breaking comes suddenly in an instant.
lisumu oyo ekokoma mpo na bino lokola mir ya molayi oyo esala nzela mpe lidusu, bongo ebukani mpe ekweyi mbala moko na mbalakata.
14 And he shall break it as a potter's vessel is broken, breaking it in pieces without sparing, so that there shall not be found among the pieces of it a shard with which to take fire from the hearth, or to dip up water out of the cistern.
Ekobukana ndambo-ndambo lokola mbeki ya mosali mbeki, ekopanzana penza nye na mawa te; bongo ata eteni moko te ekozwama kati na yango mpo na kozwela likala ya moto na mbabola to mpo na kotokela mayi na libulu. »
15 For thus said the lord Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, Ye shall be saved in returning and rest. Your strength shall be in quietness and in confidence. And ye would not,
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele, alobi: « Ekozala kati na kobongola mitema mpe kimia nde bokozwa lobiko na bino; ekozala na nzela ya kimia mpe ya elikya nde bokozwa makasi na bino; kasi bino, bolingi bongo te.
16 but ye said, No, for we will flee upon horses. Therefore ye shall flee. And ye said, We will ride upon the swift. Therefore those who pursue you shall be swift.
Bolobaki: ‹ Te, tokopota mbangu likolo ya mpunda; › solo, bokokima nde! Bolobaki: ‹ Tokopota mbangu na mpunda oyo eleki mbangu; › solo, bato oyo bakolanda bino bakoleka bino na mbangu!
17 One thousand shall flee at the threat of one. Ye shall flee at the threat of five, till ye are left as a beacon upon the top of a mountain, and as an ensign on a hill.
Bato nkoto moko bakokima na mangungu ya moto moko kaka; mpe na mangungu ya bato mitano, bino nyonso bokokima kino bokotikala lokola nzete ya bendele na songe ya ngomba, mpe lokola bendele na likolo ya ngomba moke. »
18 And therefore Jehovah will wait, that he may be gracious to you. And therefore he will be exalted, that he may have mercy upon you, for Jehovah is a God of justice. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
Nzokande, Yawe alingi kosalela bino ngolu, atelemi likolo mpo na koyokela bino mawa. Pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe ya sembo: Esengo na bato nyonso oyo batalelaka Ye!
19 For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem. Thou shall weep no more. He will surely be gracious to thee at the voice of thy cry. When he shall hear, he will answer thee.
Oh bato ya Siona, bino oyo bavandaka na Yelusalemi, bokolela lisusu te. Tango bokobelela Ye, akoyokela bino mawa; tango kaka akoyoka, akoyanola bino.
20 And though the Lord give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, yet thy teachers shall not be hidden anymore, but thine eyes shall see thy teachers.
Nkolo akopesa bino lipa na tango ya pasi, mpe mayi na tango ya minyoko; moto oyo akoteya bino akotikala lisusu ya kobombama te, kasi miso na bino moko ekomona ye.
21 And thine ears shall hear a word behind thee, saying, This is the way, walk ye in it when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
Ata bokeyi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, matoyi na bino ekoyoka sima na bino liloba oyo: « Tala nzela yango oyo! »
22 And ye shall defile the overlaying of thy graven images of silver, and the plating of thy molten images of gold. Thou shall cast them away as an unclean thing. Thou shall say to it, Get thee away.
Bokotala lokola mbindo bikeko oyo balatisa palata mpe bikeko ya bibende oyo balatisa wolo; bokobwaka yango mosika ndenge babwakaka elamba ya makila ya mwasi oyo azali komona sanza, mpe bokoloba na yango: « Longwa awa! »
23 And he will give the rain for thy seed, with which thou shall sow the ground, and bread of the increase of the ground, and it shall be fat and plenteous. In that day thy cattle shall feed in large pastures.
Boye, akotindela yo lisusu mvula mpo na milona oyo okolona na mabele, mpe bilei oyo mabele ekobota na mokili ekozala ebele mpe elengi. Na mokolo wana, bibwele na bino ekolia na bazamba minene.
24 Likewise the oxen and the young donkeys that till the ground shall eat savory provender, which has been winnowed with the shovel and with the fork.
Bangombe mpe ba-ane oyo ebalolaka mabele ya bilanga ekolia matiti ya mungwa oyo baponi na pawu mpe na kiyungulu.
25 And there shall be upon every lofty mountain, and upon every high hill, brooks and streams of waters, in the day of the great slaughter, when the towers fall.
Na mokolo ya kosambisa, tango bandako milayi ekobukana, bibale ya mayi ekotiola na bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse.
26 Moreover the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of seven days, in the day that Jehovah binds up the hurt of his people, and heals the stroke of their wound.
Pole ya sanza ekongenga lokola pole ya moyi, mpe pole ya moyi ekongenga makasi koleka mbala sambo lokola pole ya mikolo sambo, na mokolo oyo Yawe akotia kisi na pota ya bato na Ye mpe akobikisa yango.
27 Behold, the name of Jehovah comes from far, burning with his anger, and in thick rising smoke. His lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is as a devouring fire,
Tala, wuta mosika, Kombo ya Yawe ezali koya; kanda na Ye ezali kopela lokola moto elongo na lipata ya molinga ya moto makasi; bibebu na Ye etondi na kanda, mpe lolemo na Ye ezali lokola moto oyo ebomaka.
28 and his breath is as an overflowing stream that reaches even to the neck, to sift the nations with the sieve of destruction. And a bridle that causes to err shall be in the jaws of the peoples.
Pema na Ye ezali lokola ebale oyo etondi makasi, ebale oyo etondi kino na kingo. Akoyungola bikolo na kiyungulu ya pasi, akotia na mbanga ya bato ebende oyo batiaka na minoko ya bampunda mpo ete emema bango na libunga.
29 Ye shall have a song as in the night when a holy feast is kept, and gladness of heart, as he who goes with a pipe to come to the mountain of Jehovah, to the Rock of Israel.
Mpo na bino, bokoyemba banzembo lokola na butu oyo basalaka bafeti ya bule; mitema na bino ekotonda na esengo lokola bato oyo bazali kobeta flite mpo na kokende na Ngomba ya Yawe, na Libanga ya Isalaele.
30 And Jehovah will cause his glorious voice to be heard, and will show the coming down of his arm with the indignation of his anger, and the flame of a devouring fire, with a blast and tempest and hailstones.
Yawe akosala ete bato bayoka mongongo na Ye ya nkembo mpe akomonisa bango nguya ya loboko na Ye kati na kanda makasi na Ye, kati na moto oyo ebomaka, kati na mvula makasi ya bakake mpe ya mabanga.
31 For through the voice of Jehovah the Assyrian shall be dismayed. With his rod he will smite him.
Mongongo ya Yawe ekokweyisa Asiri, mpe akobeta bango na lingenda na Ye ya bokonzi.
32 And every stroke of the appointed staff, which Jehovah shall lay upon him, shall be with the sound of tambourine and harps. And he will fight with them in battles with the brandishing of his arm.
Mbala nyonso oyo Yawe akobeta bango fimbu na Ye ya kosambisa, ekolandisama na mindule ya bambunda mike mpe ya mandanda, ndenge moko mpe tango akoningisa loboko na Ye mpo na kobundisa bango.
33 For a Topheth is prepared of old, yea, it is made ready for the king. He has made it deep and large. The pile of it is fire and much wood. The breath of Jehovah kindles it, like a stream of brimstone.
Babongisaki wuta kala Tofeti, babongisaki yango nde mpo na mokonzi; basalaki libulu na yango ya moto mozindo mpe monene mpo ete ebimisa moto makasi mpe ekota bakoni ebele. Pema na Yawe, oyo ezali lokola ebale ya sofolo nde ekopelisa yango.
