< Isaiah 65 >

1 “I revealed Myself to those who did not ask for Me; I was found by those who did not seek Me. To a nation that did not call My name, I said, ‘Here I am! Here I am!’
« Namimonisaki, Ngai moko, epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kotuna Ngai kutu toli te, namilakisaki epai ya bato oyo bazalaki koluka Ngai te. Epai ya ekolo oyo ezalaki kobelela Kombo na Ngai te, nalobaki: ‹ Ngai oyo, Ngai oyo! ›
2 All day long I have held out My hands to an obstinate people who walk in the wrong path, who follow their own imaginations,
Mikolo nyonso, natandaki maboko na Ngai epai ya bato ya mito makasi, oyo balandaka nzela ya mabe, oyo batambolaka kolanda makanisi na bango;
3 to a people who continually provoke Me to My face, sacrificing in the gardens and burning incense on altars of brick,
bato oyo bapesaka Ngai kanda tango nyonso na nko, babonzaka mbeka kati na bilanga mpe babonzaka malasi ya ansa na bitumbelo basala na babiliki;
4 sitting among the graves, spending nights in secret places, eating the meat of pigs and polluted broth from their bowls.
bato oyo bavandaka kati na bakunda mpe balekisaka babutu na bango kati na madusu ya mabanga; bato oyo baliaka misuni ya ngulu mpe basani na bango etonda na bilei ya mbindo;
5 They say, ‘Keep to yourself; do not come near me, for I am holier than you!’ Such people are smoke in My nostrils, a fire that burns all day long.
bato oyo balobaka: ‹ Zala mosika na Ngai, kopusana pene na Ngai te, pamba te nazali bule makasi na miso na yo! › Bato ya lolenge oyo bazali lokola milinga na zolo na Ngai, lokola moto oyo epelaka mikolo nyonso.
6 Behold, it is written before Me: I will not keep silent, but I will repay; I will pay it back into their laps,
Tala, etikali ya kokomama liboso na Ngai: nakovanda nye te kino nakozongisela bango mabe na bango; solo, nakozongisela bango penza mabe na bango koleka.
7 both for your iniquities and for those of your fathers,” says the LORD. “Because they burned incense on the mountains and scorned Me on the hills, I will measure into their laps full payment for their former deeds.”
Ezala mpo na masumu na bino to mpo na masumu ya batata na bino, » elobi Yawe, « pamba te babonzaki malasi ya ansa na likolo ya bangomba milayi mpe basambwisaki Ngai na likolo ya bangomba mikuse; solo penza, nakozongisela bango mabe, nakofuta bango kolanda misala na bango oyo eleka! »
8 This is what the LORD says: “As the new wine is found in a cluster of grapes, and men say, ‘Do not destroy it, for it contains a blessing,’ so I will act on behalf of My servants; I will not destroy them all.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ndenge kaka balobaka soki bamoni liboke ya bambuma kitoko ya vino: ‹ Kobebisa te, pamba te lipamboli moko ezali wana, › ndenge mpe kaka nakosala mpo na basali na Ngai: nakoboma bango nyonso te.
9 And I will bring forth descendants from Jacob, and heirs from Judah; My elect will possess My mountains, and My servants will dwell there.
Nakobimisa libota moko kati na Jakobi; mpe kati na Yuda, nakobimisa mokitani oyo akozwa bangomba na Ngai lokola libula; bato na Ngai, ba-oyo naponi bakokamata yango lokola libula, mpe bawumbu na Ngai nde bakovanda kuna.
10 Sharon will become a pasture for flocks, and the Valley of Achor a resting place for herds, for My people who seek Me.
Etando ya Saroni ekokoma esika ya koleisa bibwele, mpe Lubwaku ya Akori ekokoma esika ya kopema mpo na bangombe. Nyonso wana ekosalema mpo na bato na Ngai, oyo balukaka Ngai.
11 But you who forsake the LORD, who forget My holy mountain, who set a table for Fortune and fill bowls of mixed wine for Destiny,
Kasi mpo na bino bato oyo bosundoli Yawe mpe bobosani ngomba na Ngai ya bule, bino oyo botandaka mesa mpo na Gadi mpe botondisaka kopo ya vino mpo na Meni,
12 I will destine you for the sword, and you will all kneel down to be slaughtered, because I called and you did not answer, I spoke and you did not listen; you did evil in My sight and chose that in which I did not delight.”
nakobongisa bino ete bokufa na mopanga, mpe bino nyonso bokofukama mpo ete bakata bino bakingo, pamba te nabengaki, kasi boyanolaki te; nalobaki, kasi boyokaki te: bosalaki kaka makambo mabe na miso na Ngai mpe boponaki makambo oyo esepelisaka Ngai te. »
13 Therefore this is what the Lord GOD says: “My servants will eat, but you will go hungry; My servants will drink, but you will go thirsty; My servants will rejoice, but you will be put to shame.
Mpo na yango, Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Bawumbu na Ngai bakolia, kasi bino bokozala na nzala; bawumbu na Ngai bakomela, kasi bino bokotikala kaka na posa ya komela; bawumbu na Ngai bakosepela, kasi bino bokoyoka soni;
14 My servants will shout for joy with a glad heart, but you will cry out with a heavy heart and wail with a broken spirit.
bawumbu na Ngai bakoyemba na esengo, esengo oyo ekowuta solo na mitema na bango, kasi bino bokoganga mpo na pasi ya mitema na bino mpe bokolelalela mpo na milimo na bino oyo ebukani.
15 You will leave behind your name as a curse for My chosen ones, and the Lord GOD will slay you; but to His servants He will give another name.
Bokotika kombo na bino epai ya baponami na Ngai lokola lisuma; Nkolo Yawe akoboma bino; kasi epai ya baponami na Ye, akopesa kombo mosusu.
16 Whoever invokes a blessing in the land will do so by the God of truth, and whoever takes an oath in the land will swear by the God of truth. For the former troubles will be forgotten and hidden from My sight.
Moto nyonso oyo akobelela lipamboli kati na mokili akosala bongo na Kombo ya Nzambe ya solo, mpe moto oyo akolapa ndayi kati na mokili, akolapa yango na Kombo ya Nzambe ya solo. Pamba te pasi ya kala ekomonana lisusu te, ekobombama na miso na Ngai.
17 For behold, I will create new heavens and a new earth. The former things will not be remembered, nor will they come to mind.
Solo, nakokela likolo mpe mabele ya sika; makambo ya liboso, bakokanisa yango lisusu te, ekomata ata lisusu na motema te.
18 But be glad and rejoice forever in what I create; for I will create Jerusalem to be a joy and its people to be a delight.
Kasi bosepela mpe bozala tango nyonso na esengo mpo na misala oyo nakokela, pamba te nakokela Yelusalemi mpo ete ezala na esengo, mpe bato na yango basepela.
19 I will rejoice in Jerusalem and take delight in My people. The sounds of weeping and crying will no longer be heard in her.
Bongo nakosepela mpo na Yelusalemi mpe mpo na bato na Ngai; makelele ya kolela mpe ya koganga ekoyokana lisusu kuna te.
20 No longer will a nursing infant live but a few days, or an old man fail to live out his years. For the youth will die at a hundred years, and he who fails to reach a hundred will be considered accursed.
Kuna, ekozala lisusu na mwana moke te oyo akokufa na bomwana na ye to ekozala lisusu na mobange te oyo akotonda te na mikolo ya bomoi na ye; pamba te moto oyo akokufa elenge akozala na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama, mpe oyo akokokisa mibu wana te, akomonana lokola moto alakelami mabe.
21 They will build houses and dwell in them; they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
Bakotonga bandako mpe bakovanda kati na bandako yango, bakolona bilanga ya vino mpe bakolia bambuma na yango.
22 No longer will they build houses for others to inhabit, nor plant for others to eat. For as is the lifetime of a tree, so will be the days of My people, and My chosen ones will fully enjoy the work of their hands.
Bakotonga bandako te mpo ete bato mosusu bavanda kati na bandako yango, mpe bakolona bilanga te mpo ete bato mosusu balia bambuma na yango; pamba te mikolo ya mbotama ya bato na Ngai ekozala lokola mikolo ya nzete, mpe baponami na Ngai bakosepela na bambuma ya misala ya maboko na bango.
23 They will not labor in vain or bear children doomed to disaster; for they will be a people blessed by the LORD— they and their descendants with them.
Bakosala mosala na pamba te to bakobota bana te mpo ete bakufa; pamba te bakozala bato oyo bapambolama na Yawe, bango elongo na bana na bango.
24 Even before they call, I will answer, and while they are still speaking, I will hear.
Liboso ete babelela Ngai, nakoyanola bango; mpe wana basilisi nanu koloba te, nakoyoka bango.
25 The wolf and the lamb will feed together, and the lion will eat straw like the ox, but the food of the serpent will be dust. They will neither harm nor destroy on all My holy mountain,”
Mbwa ya zamba mpe mwana meme ekolia esika moko; mpe nkosi ekolia matiti lokola ngombe, kasi bilei ya nyoka ekozala nde putulu. Bakoyoka lisusu pasi te, mpe bakobebisama lisusu te na ngomba na Ngai ya bule, » elobi Yawe.
