Isaiah 54
1 “Shout for joy, O barren woman, who bears no children; break forth in song and cry aloud, you who have never travailed; because more are the children of the desolate woman than of her who has a husband,”
Oh mwasi ekomba, yemba nzembo na esengo, yo oyo obotaka te! Yemba nzembo mpe ganga na esengo, yo mwasi oyo oyoki nanu pasi ya kobota te! Pamba te bana ya mwasi oyo basundola bakozala ebele koleka bana ya mwasi ya libala, elobi Yawe.
2 “Enlarge the site of your tent, stretch out the curtains of your dwellings, do not hold back. Lengthen your ropes and drive your stakes in deep.
Yeisa ndako na yo ya kapo monene, bakisa bakapo na ndako yango mpo ete eya monene; kokanga motema te! Benda na molayi basinga na yo mpe pika banzete na yo makasi!
3 For you will spread out to the right and left; your descendants will dispossess the nations and inhabit the desolate cities.
Pamba te okofungwama na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mwasi; bakitani na yo bakokonza bikolo mosusu mpe bakosala ete bato bavanda lisusu na bingumba na bango oyo etikalaki lisusu na bato te.
4 Do not be afraid, for you will not be put to shame; do not be intimidated, for you will not be humiliated. For you will forget the shame of your youth and will remember no more the reproach of your widowhood.
Kobanga te, pamba te okoyoka lisusu soni te! Kozala na mawa te, pamba te okotiolama lisusu te! Okobosana soni ya bolenge na yo mpe okokanisa lisusu te pasi na yo ya kokufisa mobali;
5 For your husband is your Maker— the LORD of Hosts is His name— the Holy One of Israel is your Redeemer; He is called the God of all the earth.
pamba te Mokeli na yo nde mobali na yo, Kombo na Ye: Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; Mosantu ya Isalaele azali Mosikoli na yo; babengaka Ye: Nzambe ya mokili mobimba.
6 For the LORD has called you back, like a wife deserted and wounded in spirit, like the rejected wife of one’s youth,” says your God.
Pamba te Yawe abengi yo lisusu lokola mwasi oyo basundola, bongo azali na pasi na motema. Ndenge nini bakoki solo kosundola mwasi oyo babala na bolenge, elobi Nzambe na yo?
7 “For a brief moment I forsook you, but with great compassion I will bring you back.
Nasundolaki yo kaka mpo na tango moke; kasi na bolingo nyonso, nakozongisa yo.
8 In a surge of anger I hid My face from you for a moment, but with everlasting kindness I will have compassion on you,” says the LORD your Redeemer.
Mpo ete nazalaki na kanda makasi, nabombelaki yo elongi na Ngai kaka mpo na tango moke; kasi nakolakisa yo bolamu mpo na bolingo oyo ezangi suka, elobi Yawe, Mosikoli na yo.
9 “For to Me this is like the days of Noah, when I swore that the waters of Noah would never again cover the earth. So I have sworn that I will not be angry with you or rebuke you.
Na miso na Ngai, ezali lokola na mikolo ya Noa, tango nalapaki ndayi ete mayi ya Noa ekozindisa lisusu mabele te. Boye, nalapi solo ndayi sik’oyo ete nakosilikela yo lisusu te mpe nakopamela yo lisusu te.
10 Though the mountains may be removed and the hills may be shaken, My loving devotion will not depart from you, and My covenant of peace will not be broken,” says the LORD, who has compassion on you.
Ata bangomba milayi eningani, ata bangomba mikuse elongwe na bisika na yango, bolingo na Ngai epai na yo ekoningana te, mpe boyokani na Ngai ya kimia ekotikala kolongwa te, elobi Yawe oyo alingaka yo.
11 “O afflicted city, lashed by storms, without solace, surely I will set your stones in antimony and lay your foundations with sapphires.
Oh engumba ya mawa, engumba oyo mopepe makasi esili kobuka mpe ezangeli kobondisama, nakotonga yo lisusu na mabanga ya talo mpe nakosala miboko na yo na mabanga ya safiri,
12 I will make your pinnacles of rubies, your gates of sparkling jewels, and all your walls of precious stones.
nakotonga bamir ya lopango na yo na mabanga ya ribi, nakosala bikuke na yo na biloko ya ngelingeli, mpe bamir na yo nyonso, na mabanga ya talo.
13 Then all your sons will be taught by the LORD, and great will be their prosperity.
Yawe akoteya bana na yo nyonso, mpe kimia ya bana na yo ekozala monene.
14 In righteousness you will be established, far from oppression, for you will have no fear. Terror will be far removed, for it will not come near you.
Okolendisama kati na bosembo: minyoko ekozala mosika na yo, okobanga lisusu eloko moko te, mpe somo ekokende mosika na yo; ekomeka kopusana lisusu pene na yo te.
15 If anyone attacks you, it is not from Me; whoever assails you will fall before you.
Soki babundisi yo, ekowuta epai na Ngai te; moto nyonso oyo akobundisa yo akokweya liboso na yo.
16 Behold, I have created the craftsman who fans the coals into flame and forges a weapon fit for its task; and I have created the destroyer to wreak havoc.
Tala, ezali Ngai nde nakelaki monyangwisi bibende na moto oyo apelisaka moto makasi na makala mpe asalaka ebundeli mpo ete esala mosala na yango. Ezali mpe kaka Ngai nde nakelaki mobebisi mpo ete asala mosala ya kobebisa.
17 No weapon formed against you shall prosper, and you will refute every tongue that accuses you. This is the heritage of the servants of the LORD, and their vindication is from Me,”
Nzokande, ebundeli moko te oyo esalemi mpo na kosala yo mabe ekolonga; mpe monoko nyonso oyo ekotelemela yo na kosambisa, okokatela yango etumbu. Yango nde ekozala libula ya basali ya Yawe, mpe elonga na bango kowuta epai na Ngai, elobi Yawe.
