Isaiah 29
1 Woe to you, O Ariel, the city of Ariel where David camped! Year upon year let your festivals recur.
Mawa na yo, Arieli, Arieli, engumba oyo Davidi azalaki kovanda! Bobakisa mibu na mibu mpe botika ete bafeti na bino ekoba kolandana ndenge ezalaka.
2 And I will constrain Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation; she will be like an altar hearth before Me.
Kasi nakonyokola Arieli; ekokoma na mawa mpe na kolela; ekokoma na miso na Ngai lokola etumbelo.
3 I will camp in a circle around you; I will besiege you with towers and set up siege works against you.
Nakozingela yo mpo na kobundisa yo, nakozingela yo na mir ya molayi mpe nakotiela yo mampinga ya nguya mpo na kotelemela yo.
4 You will be brought low, you will speak from the ground, and out of the dust your words will be muffled. Your voice will be like a spirit from the ground; your speech will whisper out of the dust.
Okokitisama solo na se, okoloba wuta na mabele, mpe maloba na yo ekobanda kobima na mongongo ya se wuta na putulu. Mongongo na yo ekokoma kobima wuta na se ya mabele lokola mongongo ya moto oyo asololaka na milimo ya bakufi; mpe wuta na putulu, maloba na yo ekobima na mongongo ya se.
5 But your many foes will be like fine dust, the multitude of the ruthless like blowing chaff. Then suddenly, in an instant,
Bongo ebele ya banguna na yo bakokoma lokola putulu, mpe ebele ya banyokoli na yo bakokoma lokola matiti ekawuka oyo ezali kopumbwa na mopepe; ekosalema bongo na pwasa.
6 you will be visited by the LORD of Hosts with thunder and earthquake and loud noise, with windstorm and tempest and consuming flame of fire.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akoya epai na yo na nzela ya bakake, ya koningana ya mabele mpe ya lokito monene, ya mopepe makasi mpe ya mvula ya moto oyo etumbaka.
7 All the many nations going out to battle against Ariel— even all who war against her, laying siege and attacking her— will be like a dream, like a vision in the night,
Ekozala lokola ndoto to emoniseli ya butu mpo na ebele ya bikolo oyo bakobundisa Arieli, oyo bakotelemela ye elongo na bandako na ye ya makasi mpe bakozingela ye.
8 as when a hungry man dreams he is eating, then awakens still hungry; as when a thirsty man dreams he is drinking, then awakens faint and parched. So will it be for all the many nations who go to battle against Mount Zion.
Ekozala lokola moto oyo azali na nzala, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali kolia, kasi tango alamuki, libumu na ye ezali kaka pamba lokola moto oyo azali na posa ya mayi, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali komela mayi, kasi tango alamuki na nzoto ya kolemba, posa na ye ya mayi esili kaka te. Ekozala nde bongo mpo na mampinga ya bikolo nyonso oyo bakobundisa ngomba Siona.
9 Stop and be astonished; blind yourselves and be sightless; be drunk, but not with wine; stagger, but not from strong drink.
Bozanga maloba mpe bokamwa! Bomiboma miso mpe botikala bakufi miso! Bolangwa masanga, kasi na vino te! Botenga-tenga, kasi na masanga ya makasi te!
10 For the LORD has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep. He has shut your eyes, O prophets; He has covered your heads, O seers.
Yawe asopeli bino molimo ya pongi makasi; akangi bino miso, bino basakoli, azipi bino mito, bino bato oyo bomonaka makambo.
11 And the entire vision will be to you like the words sealed in a scroll. If it is handed to someone to read, he will say, “I cannot, because it is sealed.”
Mpo na bino, emoniseli nyonso oyo ekomi lokola maloba ya buku oyo bakanga mpe bapesi epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga, bongo balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nakokoka te, pamba te buku ekangama. »
12 Or if the scroll is handed to one unable to read, he will say, “I cannot read.”
To bapesi yango epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga te, mpe balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nayebi kotanga te. »
13 Therefore the Lord said: “These people draw near to Me with their mouths and honor Me with their lips, but their hearts are far from Me. Their worship of Me is but rules taught by men.
Nkolo alobi: « Bato oyo bapusanaka pene na Ngai kaka na monoko, bapesaka Ngai lokumu kaka na bibebu, kasi mitema na bango ezalaka mosika na Ngai; mpe botosi oyo bazalaka na yango epai na Ngai ezali kaka mobeko ya bomoto, oyo bateyaki bango.
14 Therefore I will again confound these people with wonder upon wonder. The wisdom of the wise will vanish, and the intelligence of the intelligent will be hidden.”
Yango wana, nakokoba kokamwisa bato oyo; ekozala nde bikamwa likolo ya bikamwa kino bwanya ya bato ya bwanya ekobunga, mpe mayele ya bato ya mayele ekosuka. »
15 Woe to those who dig deep to hide their plans from the LORD. In darkness they do their works and say, “Who sees us, and who will know?”
Mawa na bato oyo basalaka makambo na nkuku mpo na kobombela Yawe mabongisi na bango; bato oyo basalaka misala na bango na molili mpe balobaka: « Nani akoki komona biso? Nani akoyeba? »
16 You have turned things upside down, as if the potter were regarded as clay. Shall what is formed say to him who formed it, “He did not make me”? Can the pottery say of the potter, “He has no understanding”?
Bozali nde kobongola makambo! Ezali lokola bozali kozwa mosali mbeki ndenge moko na mabele oyo basalelaka mbeki. Boni, eloko ekoki solo koloba na mosali na yango: « Asalaki ngai te? » Mbeki ekoki solo koloba na mosali mbeki: « Ozali mayele te? »
17 In a very short time, will not Lebanon become an orchard, and the orchard seem like a forest?
Etikali kaka tango moke, Libani ekobongwana elanga ya kitoko, mpe elanga ya kitoko ekomonana lokola zamba.
18 On that day the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and out of the deep darkness the eyes of the blind will see.
Na mokolo wana, bakufi matoyi bakoyoka maloba ya buku, mpe bakufi miso bakomona tango bakobima na butu mpe na molili.
19 The humble will increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Bato bakelela bakosepela makasi kati na Yawe, babola bakozala na esengo kati na Mosantu ya Isalaele.
20 For the ruthless will vanish, the mockers will disappear, and all who look for evil will be cut down—
Banyokoli bakotikala lisusu te, batioli bakozala lisusu te mpe bato oyo balukaka pasi ya baninga bakokufa:
21 those who indict a man with a word, who ensnare the mediator at the gate, and who with false charges deprive the innocent of justice.
elongo na bato oyo bakweyisaka bato kati na kosamba mpo na liloba moko, elongo na bato oyo batielaka basambisi mitambo mpe bapesaka matatoli ya lokuta, na kosambisama, mpo na kokweyisa moto ya sembo.
22 Therefore the LORD who redeemed Abraham says of the house of Jacob: “No longer will Jacob be ashamed and no more will his face grow pale.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mosikoli ya Abrayami, alobi na libota ya Jakobi: « Jakobi akozala lisusu na soni te, elongi na ye ekozala lisusu ya kokawuka te.
23 For when he sees his children around him, the work of My hands, they will honor My name, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and they will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Tango akomona kati na bango bana na ye, mosala ya maboko na Ngai, bakopesa lokumu na bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe bakososola bosantu ya Mosantu ya Jakobi. Boye, bakozala na somo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele.
24 Then the wayward in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will accept instruction.”
Bato oyo bazali koyengayenga na molimo bakozwa mayele, mpe bato ya mito makasi bakondima koyekola mateya ya sika. »
