Isaiah 50
1 This is what the LORD says: “Where is your mother’s certificate of divorce with which I sent her away? Or to which of My creditors did I sell you? Look, you were sold for your iniquities, and for your transgressions your mother was sent away.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Wapi mokanda ya koboma libala oyo Ngai nabenganelaki mama na bino? To natekaki bino epai ya nani oyo Ngai nazalaki na niongo na ye? Botekamaki mpo na masumu na bino; mpe libala ya mama na bino ekufaki mpo na botomboki na bino.
2 Why was no one there when I arrived? Why did no one answer when I called? Is My hand too short to redeem you? Or do I lack the strength to deliver you? Behold, My rebuke dries up the sea; I turn the rivers into a desert; the fish rot for lack of water and die of thirst.
Mpo na nini moto azalaki te tango nayaki? Mpo na nini moto apesaki eyano te tango nabengaki? Loboko na Ngai ezalaki mokuse mpo na kosikola bino? Nazangaki solo makasi mpo na kokangola bino? Na pamela na Ngai, nakawusaka ebale monene, nakomisaka bibale esobe; mbisi na yango ekomaka kolumba solo mpo ete mayi ezali te mpe ekufaka na posa ya mayi.
3 I clothe the heavens in black and make sackcloth their covering.”
Nalatisaka likolo elamba ya mwindo mpe nazipaka yango na bilamba ya saki. »
4 The Lord GOD has given Me the tongue of discipleship, to sustain the weary with a word. He awakens Me morning by morning; He awakens My ear to listen as a disciple.
Nkolo Yawe apesaki ngai maloba ya bayekoli, mpo ete nakoka kolendisa na nzela ya liloba moto oyo alembi; alamusaka ngai tongo nyonso, alamusaka litoyi na ngai mpo ete nayoka lokola moyekoli.
5 The Lord GOD has opened My ears, and I have not been rebellious, nor have I turned back.
Nkolo Yawe afungolaki ngai matoyi, mpe ngai natiaki moto makasi te; namizongisaki sima te.
6 I offered My back to those who struck Me, and My cheeks to those who tore out My beard. I did not hide My face from scorn and spittle.
Napesaki mokongo na ngai epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kobeta ngai, matama na ngai, epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kopikola ngai mandefu. Nabombaki elongi na ngai te na kotiolama mpe na basoyi.
7 Because the Lord GOD helps Me, I have not been disgraced; therefore I have set My face like flint, and I know that I will not be put to shame.
Lokola Nkolo Yawe asungaka ngai, nakoyokisama soni te. Yango wana, nakomisi elongi na ngai makasi lokola libanga, mpe nayebi ete nakoyokisama soni te.
8 The One who vindicates Me is near. Who will dare to contend with Me? Let us confront each other! Who has a case against Me? Let him approach Me!
Ye oyo alongisaka ngai azali pene, nani akokoka kotelemela bosembo na ngai? Tika ete tosamba elongo! Nani akofunda ngai ete tosamba na ye? Tika ete apusana pene na ngai!
9 Surely the Lord GOD helps Me. Who is there to condemn Me? See, they will all wear out like a garment; the moths will devour them.
Ezali Nkolo Yawe nde asungaka ngai; nani akolonga ngai na esambiselo? Tala, bango nyonso bakokweya lokola bilamba ya kala oyo ebeba, bongo nseka ekolia bango.
10 Who among you fears the LORD and obeys the voice of His Servant? Who among you walks in darkness and has no light? Let him trust in the name of the LORD; let him lean on his God.
Ezali na moto kati na bino oyo atosaka Yawe mpe ayokaka mongongo ya Mowumbu na Ye, bongo atambola kati na molili mpe atikala komona pole te? Tika ete atia elikya na ye kati na Kombo na Yawe mpe atalela Nzambe na ye.
11 Behold, all you who kindle a fire, who array yourselves with firebrands, walk in the light of your fire and of the firebrands you have lit! This is what you will receive from My hand: You will lie down in a place of torment.
Kasi sik’oyo, bino nyonso oyo bopelisi moto mpe bosimbi bakoni oyo ezali kopela moto, bokende, botambola na pole ya moto na bino mpe ya bakoni oyo bopelisi. Tala oyo bokozwa na maboko na ngai: Bokokufa na pasi!
