< Isaiah 27 >
1 In that day the LORD will take His sharp, great, and mighty sword, and bring judgment on Leviathan the fleeing serpent —Leviathan the coiling serpent—and He will slay the dragon of the sea.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe akopesa etumbu na Leviatani, nyoka oyo ekimaka, na Leviatani, nyoka ya somo, na nzela ya mopanga na Ye ya minu, mopanga na Ye ya monene mpe ya nguya; akoboma elima ya ebale monene.
2 In that day: “Sing about a fruitful vineyard.
Na mokolo wana, bakoloba: « Boyemba nzembo mpo na nzete ya vino ya kitoko:
3 I, the LORD, am its keeper; I water it continually. I guard it night and day so no one can disturb it;
Ngai Yawe, nabatelaka yango, nasopelaka yango mayi tango nyonso, nakengelaka yango butu mpe moyi mpo ete moto moko te abebisa yango.
4 I am not angry. If only thorns and briers confronted Me, I would march and trample them, I would burn them to the ground.
Nazali lisusu na kanda te. Ah, soki ezalaki kaka na banzube mpe na basende mpo na kobundisa Ngai, nde natambolaki likolo na yango na bitumba mpe nabwakaki yango nyonso na moto.
5 Or let them lay claim to My protection; let them make peace with Me— yes, let them make peace with Me.”
Kasi tika ete bakimela epai na Ngai lokola ndako batonga makasi, tika ete baluka kosala kimia elongo na Ngai; solo, tika ete baluka kosala kimia elongo na Ngai! »
6 In the days to come, Jacob will take root. Israel will bud and blossom and fill the whole world with fruit.
Na mikolo oyo ekoya, Jakobi akozwa misisa, Isalaele akobimisa bafololo mpe mito, mpe akotondisa mokili na bambuma na ye.
7 Has the LORD struck Israel as He struck her oppressors? Was she killed like those who slayed her?
Boni, Yawe abetaki ye te ndenge abetaki bato oyo babetaki ye? Boni, abomaki ye te ndenge abomaki bato oyo babomaki ye?
8 By warfare and exile You contended with her and removed her with a fierce wind, as on the day the east wind blows.
Apesaki bango etumbu na kotelemela mpe na kobengana. Alongolaki bango na mopepe na Ye ya makasi, kaka na mokolo moko ya mopepe na Ye ya este.
9 Therefore Jacob’s guilt will be atoned for, and the full fruit of the removal of his sin will be this: When he makes all the altar stones like crushed bits of chalk, no Asherah poles or incense altars will remain standing.
Ezali na nzela wana nde mabe ya Jakobi ekolimbisama, mpe tala oyo ekozala mbuma ya bolimbisi masumu na ye: akobuka mabanga nyonso ya etumbelo mpo ete ekoma lokola mabanga ya pembe oyo babuka-buka; mpe likonzi moko te ya Ashera to etumbelo ya malasi ya ansa ekotikala.
10 For the fortified city lies deserted— a homestead abandoned, a wilderness forsaken. There the calves graze, and there they lie down; they strip its branches bare.
Engumba ya makasi etikali pamba lokola lopango oyo basundola, babosana mpe etikala pamba lokola esobe; mwana ngombe ya mobali ekokoma kolia mpe kolala kuna, bongo ekolia ata makasa ya bitape na yango.
11 When its limbs are dry, they are broken off. Women come and use them for kindling; for this is a people without understanding. Therefore their Maker has no compassion on them, and their Creator shows them no favor.
Tango bitape na yango ekokawuka, ekobukana; basi bakoya kotia yango na moto. Mpo ete bato oyo bazangi mayele, yango wana Mokeli na bango ayokelaki bango mawa te, Mozalisi na bango atalisaki bango ngolu na Ye te.
12 In that day the LORD will thresh from the flowing Euphrates to the Wadi of Egypt, and you, O Israelites, will be gathered one by one.
Na tango wana, Yawe akotuta ble wuta na ngambo ya ebale (Efrate) kino na mayi oyo etiolaka makasi na bangomba ya Ejipito. Boye, bino bana ya Isalaele, Yawe akolokota bino moko na moko mpo na kosangisa bino.
13 And in that day a great ram’s horn will sound, and those who were perishing in Assyria will come forth with those who were exiles in Egypt. And they will worship the LORD on the holy mountain in Jerusalem.
Na mokolo wana, bakobeta kelelo oyo ya monene; bato oyo bazalaki kobebisama na mokili ya Asiri mpe oyo bakendeki na bowumbu na Ejipito bakoya mpe bakogumbamela Yawe na ngomba ya bule, na Yelusalemi.
