Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perish, and no one takes it to heart; devout men are swept away, while no one considers that the righteous are guided from the presence of evil.
Moto ya sembo azali kokufa, kasi ezali kosala ata moto moko te motema pasi; bato ya malamu bazali kosila, mpe ata moto moko te azali kososola ete bato ya sembo bazali kolongolama mpo ete bazala mosika na mabe.
2 Those who walk uprightly enter into peace; they find rest, lying down in death.
Bato oyo batambolaka na bosembo bakokota na kimia, bakozwa bopemi na bambeto na bango.
3 “But come here, you sons of a sorceress, you offspring of adulterers and prostitutes!
« Kasi bino, boya awa, bino bana ya mwasi ya soloka, bino bana oyo bobotami na nzela ya ekobo mpe ya kindumba.
4 Whom are you mocking? At whom do you snarl and stick out your tongue? Are you not children of transgression, offspring of deceit,
Bozali koseka nani? Bozali kofungolela nani monoko? Bozali kotiela nani penza monoko? Boni, bozali bana ya batomboki te, bozali libota ya lokuta te?
5 who burn with lust among the oaks, under every luxuriant tree, who slaughter your children in the valleys, under the clefts of the rocks?
Bozali kopela na posa mabe na se ya banzete minene oyo babengaka terebente, na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu; bozali kobonza bana na bino ya mibali lokola bambeka kati na lubwaku mpe kati na mabulu ya mabanga.
6 Your portion is among the smooth stones of the valley; indeed, they are your lot. Even to them you have poured out a drink offering and offered a grain offering. Should I relent because of these?
Libula na yo ezali nde banzambe ya bikeko kati na mabanga ya lubwaku, oyo babongisa; solo, yango nde ezali libula na yo. Solo penza, ezali epai na yango nde ozali kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino mpe kobonza makabo ya bambuma. Boni, nasepela solo na makambo ya boye?
7 On a high and lofty hill you have made your bed, and there you went up to offer sacrifices.
Otiaki mbeto na yo na likolo, na songe ya ngomba; kuna nde ozalaki komata mpo na kobonza mbeka.
8 Behind the door and doorpost you have set up your memorial. Forsaking Me, you uncovered your bed; you climbed up and opened it wide. And you have made a pact with those whose bed you have loved; you have gazed upon their nakedness.
Otiaki nzambe na yo ya ekeko na sima ya ekuke na yo mpe ya mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke yango. Osundoli ngai, olongoli bilamba na yo, omati likolo ya mbeto na yo; osali boyokani elongo na bato oyo olingaka kosangisa na bango nzoto mpe oluki komona bolumbu na bango.
9 You went to Molech with oil and multiplied your perfumes. You have sent your envoys a great distance; you have descended even to Sheol itself. (Sheol h7585)
Okendeki epai ya Moloki na mafuta ya olive mpe obakisaki lisusu malasi na yo. Otindaki bantoma na yo mosika, omikitisaki na se penza kino na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
10 You are wearied by your many journeys, but you did not say, “There is no hope!” You found renewal of your strength; therefore you did not grow weak.
Nzela na yo nyonso elembisaki yo nzoto, kasi omilobelaki te: ‹ Ezali na tina te! › Loboko na yo ezwaki lisusu makasi ya sika, yango wana olembaki te.
11 Whom have you dreaded and feared, so that you lied and failed to remember Me or take this to heart? Is it not because I have long been silent that you do not fear Me?
Ozalaki na somo ya nani to ozalaki kobanga nani mpo ete okosa Ngai to obosana Ngai, to mpe obimisa Ngai na motema na yo? Boni, ezali te mpo ete navandaki kimia tango molayi nde ozali kobanga Ngai te?
12 I will expose your righteousness and your works, and they will not profit you.
Nakobimisa bosembo mpe misala na yo na pwasa, mpe ekozala na litomba ata moko te mpo na yo.
13 When you cry out, let your companies of idols deliver you! Yet the wind will carry off all of them, a breath will take them away. But he who seeks refuge in Me will inherit the land and possess My holy mountain.”
Tika ete mopiku ya banzambe na yo ya bikeko ebikisa yo tango okoluka lisungi! Mopepe makasi ekomema yango nyonso, mopepe moko ekopikola yango. Kasi moto oyo akomisaka Ngai ebombamelo na ye akozwa lokola libula mokili mpe ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
14 And it will be said, “Build it up, build it up, prepare the way, take every obstacle out of the way of My people.”
Bakoloba: « Botondisa mabele, botondisa mabele, bobongisa nzela, bolongola mabaku na nzela ya bato na Ngai! »
15 For thus says the One who is high and lifted up, who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy: “I dwell in a high and holy place, and with the oppressed and humble in spirit, to restore the spirit of the lowly and revive the heart of the contrite.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Ye oyo akowumela seko na seko mpe azali bule, alobi: « Navandaka na esika oyo eleki likolo mpe ya bule; kasi navandaka mpe elongo na moto oyo azali na pasi mpe oyo molimo na ye ebukani, mpo na kolendisa lisusu molimo oyo etutami mpe motema oyo ebukani.
16 For I will not accuse you forever, nor will I always be angry; for then the spirit of man would grow weak before Me, with the breath of those I have made.
Nakosambisa mpo na libela te mpe nakozala na kanda tango nyonso te, noki te molimo ya moto nyonso oyo nasala ekokufa na miso na Ngai.
17 I was enraged by his sinful greed, so I struck him and hid My face in anger; yet he kept turning back to the desires of his heart.
Natombokaki likolo ya posa na ye ya kozwa bomengo na nzela ya moyibi; napesaki ye etumbu, nabombaki elongi na Ngai na kanda, kasi apengwaki kaka mpo na kolanda posa mabe ya motema na ye.
18 I have seen his ways, but I will heal him; I will guide him and restore comfort to him and his mourners,
Namonaki banzela na ye, kasi nakobikisa ye; nakotambolisa ye mpe nakobondisa ye.
19 bringing praise to their lips. Peace, peace to those far and near,” says the LORD, “and I will heal them.”
Nakotia masanzoli na bibebu ya bato oyo bazali kolela na Isalaele. Kimia, kimia ezala epai na ye oyo azali mosika, mpe epai na ye oyo azali pene, » elobi Yawe. « Mpe nakobikisa bango. »
20 But the wicked are like the storm-tossed sea, for it cannot be still, and its waves churn up mire and muck.
Kasi bato mabe bazali lokola ebale oyo etomboki, oyo evandaka kimia te: mayi na yango ebwakaka potopoto mpe bosoto libanda.
21 “There is no peace,” says my God, “for the wicked.”
Nzambe na ngai alobi: « Kimia ezali te mpo na bato mabe. »
