< Isaiah 58 >

1 “Cry aloud! Do not spare! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Declare to my people their disobedience, and to the house of Jacob their sins.
« Ganga na mongongo makasi, kotika te! Matisa mongongo na yo lokola kelelo, yebisa bato na Ngai botomboki na bango, mpe lakisa libota ya Jakobi masumu na ye.
2 Yet they seek me daily, and delight to know my ways. As a nation that did righteousness, and did not forsake the ordinance of their God, they ask of me righteous judgments. They delight to draw near to God.
Pamba te mokolo na mokolo, balukaka Ngai, basalaka lokola bato bazali na esengo ya koyeba nzela na Ngai, lokola ekolo oyo esalaka makambo ya sembo mpe esundolaka te mibeko ya Nzambe na bango; basengaka Ngai mikano ya sembo, mpe basalaka lokola bato bazali na esengo ya kozala pene ya Nzambe;
3 ‘Why have we fasted,’ they say, ‘and you do not see? Why have we afflicted our soul, and you do not notice?’ “Behold, in the day of your fast you find pleasure, and oppress all your laborers.
balobaka: ‹ Mpo na nini tokila bilei, soki ozali komona na Yo yango te? Mpo na nini tomikitisa, soki ozali koyeba na yo yango te? › Nzokande, na mokolo na bino ya kokila bilei, bozali kosala makambo oyo bolingi mpe bozali konyokola basali na bino nyonso.
4 Behold, you fast for strife and contention, and to strike with the fist of wickedness. You do not fast today so as to make your voice to be heard on high.
Kokila bilei na bino ezali kosuka na koswana mpe na bitumba, bozali kobetana makofi na kanda nyonso; bozali kokila bilei te ndenge esengeli kozala na mokolo oyo bozali kozela ete mongongo na bino eyokana na likolo.
5 Is this the fast that I have chosen? A day for a man to humble his soul? Is it to bow down his head like a reed, and to spread sackcloth and ashes under himself? Will you call this a fast, and an acceptable day to the LORD?
Boni, ezali penza kokila bilei oyo Ngai nalingaka, mokolo oyo moto amikitisaka penza ye moko? Boni, ezali kaka kogumba moto lokola nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi, kolata bilamba ya saki mpe kolala na putulu? Ezali yango nde bino bozali kobenga kokila bilei, mokolo oyo Yawe alingaka?
6 “Is not this the fast that I have chosen: to release the bonds of wickedness, to undo the straps of the yoke, to let the oppressed go free, and that you break every yoke?
Tala lolenge ya kokila bilei oyo Ngai nalingaka: kokata minyololo ya masumu, kofungola basinga ya ekangiseli, kopesa bonsomi na mowumbu mpe kobuka ekangiseli nyonso.
7 Is not it to distribute your bread to the hungry, and that you bring the poor who are cast out to your house? When you see the naked, that you cover him; and that you not hide yourself from your own flesh?
Boni, ezali te kokabola bilei na yo na moto oyo azali na nzala? Ezali te koyamba kati na ndako na yo, mobola oyo azali koyengayenga? Ezali te kolatisa moto oyo azali bolumbu mpe koboya kopesa mokongo na ndeko na yo?
8 Then your light will break out as the morning, and your healing will appear quickly; then your righteousness shall go before you, and the LORD’s glory will be your rear guard.
Bongo, pole na yo ekongenga lokola moyi ya tongo, mpe nzoto na yo ekokoma kolongono na lombangu; bosembo na yo ekotambola liboso na yo mpe nkembo na Yawe ekokengela yo na sima.
9 Then you will call, and the LORD will answer. You will cry for help, and he will say, ‘Here I am.’ “If you take away from among you the yoke, finger pointing, and speaking wickedly;
Boye, tango okobelela Yawe, akoyanola yo; tango okosenga lisungi, akoloba: ‹ Ngai oyo. › Soki kati na yo, olongoli ekangiseli, otiki kolakisa bato mosapi mpe otiki maloba mabe;
10 and if you pour out your soul to the hungry, and satisfy the afflicted soul, then your light will rise in darkness, and your obscurity will be as the noonday;
soki opesi bilei na yo epai na ye oyo azali na nzala mpe okokisi posa ya moto oyo bazali konyokola, pole na yo ekongenga kati na molili, mpe molili na yo ekokoma lokola moyi ya ngonga midi.
11 and the LORD will guide you continually, satisfy your soul in dry places, and make your bones strong. You will be like a watered garden, and like a spring of water whose waters do not fail.
Yawe akotambolisa yo tango nyonso, akokokisa baposa na yo kati na mokili ekawuka mpe akokembisa mikuwa na yo. Okozala lokola elanga oyo basopeli mayi, lokola liziba oyo mayi na yango ekawukaka te.
12 Those who will be of you will build the old waste places. You will raise up the foundations of many generations. You will be called Repairer of the Breach, Restorer of Paths with Dwellings.
Mpo na yo, bakotonga lisusu bandako oyo ebukana-bukana na kala, bakomatisa lisusu miboko oyo ebukana wuta kala; bakobenga yo: ‹ Mobongisi ya bamir oyo ebukana mpe ya banzela oyo bato balekaka. ›
13 “If you turn away your foot from the Sabbath, from doing your pleasure on my holy day, and call the Sabbath a delight, and the holy of the LORD honorable, and honor it, not doing your own ways, nor finding your own pleasure, nor speaking your own words,
Soki obateli matambe na yo ete ebebisa te lokumu ya mokolo ya Saba, mpe ete osala te mosala oyo yo olingi na mokolo na Ngai ya bule; soki mokolo ya Saba ekomi esengo na yo mpe opesi lokumu na mokolo ya bule ya Yawe; soki opesi yango lokumu na koboya kolanda nzela na yo moko, kosala misala na yo moko mpe kokoba na makambo oyo ezanga tina,
14 then you will delight yourself in the LORD, and I will make you to ride on the high places of the earth, and I will feed you with the heritage of Jacob your father;” for the LORD’s mouth has spoken it.
wana okozwa esengo na yo kati na Yawe mpe nakomema yo na bisika ya likolo ya mokili, nakoleisa yo wuta na libula ya Jakobi, tata na yo, » elobi Yawe.
