< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted; and the train of His robe filled the temple.
Na mobu oyo mokonzi Oziasi akufaki, namonaki Yawe avandi na Kiti moko ya bokonzi, etombwama makasi, bongo basonge ya nzambala na Ye etondisaki Tempelo.
2 Above Him stood seraphim, each having six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying.
Ba-anjelu oyo babengaka baserafe batelemaki na likolo na Ye; moko na moko azalaki na mapapu motoba: mapapu mibale mpo na kozipa elongi, mibale mpo na kozipa makolo mpe mibale mpo na kopumbwa.
3 And they were calling out to one another: “Holy, holy, holy is the LORD of Hosts; all the earth is full of His glory.”
Serafe moko na moko azalaki koganga na mosusu: « Bule, Bule, Bule, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! Mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo na Ye! »
4 At the sound of their voices the doorposts and thresholds shook, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Na makelele ya mingongo na bango, mabaya oyo esimbaka bikuke ekomaki koningana, mpe Tempelo etondaki na milinga.
5 Then I said: “Woe is me, for I am ruined, because I am a man of unclean lips dwelling among a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the LORD of Hosts.”
Nalobaki: « Mawa na ngai! Nabebi na ngai, pamba te nazali moto ya bibebu ya mbindo, navandaka kati na bato oyo bazali na bibebu ya mbindo, mpe miso na ngai emoni Mokonzi, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! »
6 Then one of the seraphim flew to me, and in his hand was a glowing coal that he had taken with tongs from the altar.
Moko kati na baserafe asimbaki, na loboko na ye, likala ya moto oyo azwaki na etumbelo na bisimbelo, apumbwaki mpe ayaki epai na ngai;
7 And with it he touched my mouth and said: “Now that this has touched your lips, your iniquity is removed and your sin is atoned for.”
atutisaki likala yango na monoko na ngai mpe alobaki: « Tala, lokola likala oyo etuti bibebu na yo, mabe na yo esili kolongwa, masumu na yo esili kolimbisama. »
8 Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying: “Whom shall I send? Who will go for Us?” And I said: “Here am I. Send me!”
Bongo, nayokaki mongongo na Nkolo koloba: — Nakotinda nani? Nani akokende mpo na biso? Nazongisaki: — Ngai oyo, tinda ngai!
9 And He replied: “Go and tell this people, ‘Be ever hearing, but never understanding; be ever seeing, but never perceiving.’
Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kende koloba na bato oyo: « Boyoka na bino, kasi bokososola te; botala na bino, kasi bokomona te!
10 Make the hearts of this people calloused; deafen their ears and close their eyes. Otherwise they might see with their eyes, hear with their ears, understand with their hearts, and turn and be healed.”
Komisa bato oyo mitema makasi, kanga matoyi na bango mpe zipa miso na bango mpo ete bamona te na miso na bango, bayoka te na matoyi na bango, basosola te na mitema na bango, babongwana te mpe babika te! »
11 Then I asked: “How long, O Lord?” And He replied: “Until the cities lie ruined and without inhabitant, until the houses are left unoccupied and the land is desolate and ravaged,
Boye nalobaki: — Oh Nkolo, kino tango nini? Azongisaki: — Kino bingumba ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te, kino tango bato bakotikala lisusu na bandako te, mpe bilanga ekobebisama mpe bakosakanela yango;
12 until the LORD has driven men far away and the land is utterly forsaken.
kino tango Yawe akotinda bato mosika, kino tango bakobosana penza mokili libela.
13 And though a tenth remains in the land, it will be burned again. As the terebinth and oak leave stumps when felled, so the holy seed will be a stump in the land.”
Soki ndambo moko kati na bandambo zomi ya bato ekotikala na mokili, bakobebisama na moto. Kasi ndenge terebente mpe nzete oyo babengaka sheni etikaka misisa na yango soki bakati yango, ndenge wana mpe nkona ya bule ekotika misisa na mokili.
