< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on Me, because the LORD has anointed Me to preach good news to the poor. He has sent Me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and freedom to the prisoners,
Molimo ya Nkolo Yawe azali likolo na ngai, pamba te Yawe apakoli ngai mafuta mpo na kosakola sango malamu epai ya babola, kobikisa bato oyo mitema na bango esili kozoka, kosakola bonsomi epai ya bawumbu mpe kobimisa bakangami na boloko;
2 to proclaim the year of the LORD’s favor and the day of our God’s vengeance, to comfort all who mourn,
mpo na kosakola mpo na Yawe mobu ya ngolu, kosakola mpo na Nzambe na biso mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, kobondisa bato oyo bazali kolela,
3 to console the mourners in Zion— to give them a crown of beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, and a garment of praise for a spirit of despair. So they will be called oaks of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified.
komema epai na bato ya Siona, oyo bazali na matanga mitole na esika ya putulu, mafuta ya esengo na esika ya matanga, mpe kopesa elamba ya lokumu na esika ya molimo oyo etutami. Bakobengama terebente ya bosembo, elanga ya Yawe, mpo na komonisa nkembo na Ye.
4 They will rebuild the ancient ruins; they will restore the places long devastated; they will renew the ruined cities, the desolations of many generations.
Bakotonga lisusu bisika oyo ekoma mabanga-mabanga wuta kala, bisika oyo ebukana-bukana wuta na tango ya kala; bakokomisa sika bingumba oyo ekweya, oyo ebeba wuta bileko ya kala.
5 Strangers will stand and feed your flocks, and foreigners will be your plowmen and vinedressers.
Bapaya bakoleisa bibwele na yo, bana ya bapaya bakosalela yo bilanga mpe bakolonela yo bilanga ya vino.
6 But you will be called the priests of the LORD; they will speak of you as ministers of our God; you will feed on the wealth of nations, and you will boast in their riches.
Kasi bino, bokobengama Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, bakopesa bino kombo bawumbu ya Nzambe na biso; bokolia mpe bokotonda na bozwi ya bikolo mpe bokozwa lokumu na bomengo na bango.
7 Instead of shame, My people will have a double portion, and instead of humiliation, they will rejoice in their share; and so they will inherit a double portion in their land, and everlasting joy will be theirs.
Na esika ya soni na bino, bokozwa litomba mbala mibale, mpe na esika ya kosambwa, bokosepela na libula na bino. Boye, bokozwa litomba mbala mibale kati na mokili na bino mpe bokosepela mpo na libela.
8 For I, the LORD, love justice; I hate robbery and iniquity; in My faithfulness I will give them their recompense and make an everlasting covenant with them.
Pamba te Ngai Yawe, nalingaka bosembo, nayinaka moyibi mpe masumu; nakofuta bino na bolingo na Ngai mpe nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na bino.
9 Their descendants will be known among the nations, and their offspring among the peoples. All who see them will acknowledge that they are a people the LORD has blessed.
Bakitani na bino bakoyebana kati na mabota, mpe bana na bino bakoyebana kati na bikolo; moto nyonso oyo akomona bino akondima ete bozali bato oyo Yawe apamboli.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the LORD, my soul will exult in my God; for He has clothed me with garments of salvation and wrapped me in a robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom wears a priestly headdress, as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
Nakosepela makasi kati na Yawe, molimo na ngai ekosepela kati na Nzambe na ngai, pamba te alatisi ngai bilamba ya lobiko mpe azipi ngai na elamba ya bosembo, ndenge mobandami ya mobali alataka motole na ye ya kitoko lokola Nganga-Nzambe to ndenge mobandami ya mwasi alataka mayaka na ye ya talo.
11 For as the earth brings forth its growth, and as a garden enables seed to spring up, so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
Pamba te ndenge mabele ebimisaka matiti mpe elanga ebimisaka nkona na yango, Nkolo Yawe mpe akoyeisa bosembo elongo na masanzoli liboso ya bikolo nyonso.
