Isaiah 7
1 Now in the days that Ahaz son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, was king of Judah, Rezin king of Aram marched up to wage war against Jerusalem. He was accompanied by Pekah son of Remaliah the king of Israel, but he could not overpower the city.
Tango Akazi, mwana mobali ya Yotami, mwana mobali ya Oziasi, akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda, Retsini, mokonzi ya Siri, mpe Peka, mwana mobali ya Remalia, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bakendeki kobundisa Yelusalemi, kasi bakokaki kolonga yango te.
2 When it was reported to the house of David that Aram was in league with Ephraim, the hearts of Ahaz and his people trembled like trees in the forest shaken by the wind.
Boye, bapesaki sango na ndako ya Davidi: « Bato ya Siri basali boyokani elongo na bato ya Efrayimi. » Motema ya Akazi mpe mitema ya bato na ye nyonso eninganaki makasi ndenge kaka banzete ya zamba eninganaka na tango ya mopepe.
3 Then the LORD said to Isaiah, “Go out with your son Shear-jashub to meet Ahaz at the end of the aqueduct that feeds the upper pool, on the road to the Launderer’s Field,
Boye, Yawe alobaki na Ezayi: « Kende, yo elongo na Sheari-Yashubi, mwana na yo ya mobali, kokutana na Akazi na suka ya nzela ya mayi oyo ekenda kino na liziba monene, na nzela ya bilanga ya moto oyo atiaka balangi na bilamba;
4 and say to him: Calm down and be quiet. Do not be afraid or disheartened over these two smoldering stubs of firewood—over the fierce anger of Rezin and Aram and of the son of Remaliah.
loba na ye: ‹ Kitisa motema, zala na kimia, kobanga te; tika ete motema na yo etungisama te mpo na bakoni mibale oyo ezali kopela: kanda makasi ya Retsini, moto ya Siri, mpe ya mwana mobali ya Remalia!
5 For Aram, along with Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, has plotted your ruin, saying:
Siri, Efrayimi mpe mwana mobali ya Remalia, basaleli yo likita mpo na kobebisa yo; bazali koloba:
6 ‘Let us invade Judah, terrorize it, and divide it among ourselves. Then we can install the son of Tabeal over it as king.’
‘Tika ete tobundisa Yuda, tokata yango na biteni, tokabola yango biso na biso mpe totia mwana mobali ya Tabeli lokola mokonzi na yango.’
7 But this is what the Lord GOD says: ‘It will not arise; it will not happen.
Nzokande, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Ekotikala kosalema te, ekotikala kokokisama te!
8 For the head of Aram is Damascus, and the head of Damascus is Rezin. Within sixty-five years Ephraim will be shattered as a people.
Pamba te moto ya Siri ezali Damasi, mpe moto ya Damasi ezali na yango kaka Retsini. Etikali kaka mibu tuku motoba na mitano, Efrayimi ekobebisama mpe ekozala lisusu na molongo ya mabota te.
9 The head of Ephraim is Samaria, and the head of Samaria is the son of Remaliah. If you do not stand firm in your faith, then you will not stand at all.’”
Moto ya Efrayimi ezali Samari, mpe moto ya Samari ezali kaka mwana mobali ya Remalia. Soki botelemi ngwi te na kondima na bino, bokolonga te kotelema liboso na bango! › »
10 Again the LORD spoke to Ahaz, saying,
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Akazi:
11 “Ask for a sign from the LORD your God, whether from the depths of Sheol or the heights of heaven.” (Sheol h7585)
— Senga elembo moko epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ezala kati na mokili oyo eleki na bozindo to oyo eleki likolo. (Sheol h7585)
12 But Ahaz replied, “I will not ask; I will not test the LORD.”
Kasi Akazi alobaki: — Nakosenga te, nakoki komeka Yawe te.
13 Then Isaiah said, “Hear now, O house of David! Is it not enough to try the patience of men? Will you try the patience of my God as well?
Boye Ezayi alobaki: — Boyoka sik’oyo, bino libota ya Davidi! Ekoki kaka te mpo na bino kolembisa mitema ya bato? Boni, bolingi lisusu kolembisa motema ya Nzambe na ngai?
14 Therefore the Lord Himself will give you a sign: Behold, the virgin will be with child and will give birth to a son, and will call Him Immanuel.
Ye moko Nkolo akopesa bino elembo: moseka akokoma na zemi mpe akobota mwana mobali, akopesa Ye Kombo « Emanwele. »
15 By the time He knows enough to reject evil and choose good, He will be eating curds and honey.
Mwana yango akomela kaka miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi kino tango akoyeba koboya mabe mpe kopona bolamu.
16 For before the boy knows enough to reject evil and choose good, the land of the two kings you dread will be laid waste.
Kasi liboso ete mwana yango ayeba koboya mabe mpe kopona bolamu, mikili ya bakonzi mibale oyo ozali kobanga ekobebisama.
17 The LORD will bring on you and on your people and on the house of your father a time unlike any since the day Ephraim separated from Judah—He will bring the king of Assyria.”
Yawe akoyeisela yo, bato na yo mpe libota ya tata na yo mikolo oyo etikala nanu kozala te wuta Efrayimi ekabwana na Yuda: ezali nde mokonzi ya Asiri.
18 On that day the LORD will whistle to the flies at the farthest streams of the Nile and to the bees in the land of Assyria.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe akobeta piololo mpo na kobenga nzinzi wuta na miluka ya Ejipito mpe banzoyi oyo ezalaka na mokili ya Asiri;
19 And they will all come and settle in the steep ravines and clefts of the rocks, in all the thornbushes and watering holes.
ekoya mpe ekovanda kati na mabwaku ya mozindo mpe na madusu ya mabanga, na banzete nyonso ya mike-mike mpe na matiti nyonso.
20 On that day the Lord will use a razor hired from beyond the Euphrates —the king of Assyria—to shave your head and the hair of your legs, and to remove your beard as well.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe akosalela jileti oyo akodefa na ngambo mosusu ya Efrate, elingi koloba mokonzi ya Asiri, mpo na kokokola suki ya moto na yo, suki ya makolo na yo mpe mandefu na yo.
21 On that day a man will raise a young cow and two sheep,
Na mokolo wana, moko na moko akobokola mwana ngombe ya mwasi mpe bameme to bantaba mibale ya basi.
22 and from the abundance of milk they give, he will eat curds; for all who remain in the land will eat curds and honey.
Lokola bibwele wana ekopesaka miliki ebele, akolia manteka; mpe bato nyonso oyo bakotikala na mokili bakolia mafuta ya nzoyi.
23 And on that day, in every place that had a thousand vines worth a thousand shekels of silver, only briers and thorns will be found.
Na mokolo wana, esika nyonso oyo ezalaki na banzete ya vino nkoto moko oyo ezalaki na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkoto moko ekotonda na basende mpe na banzube.
24 Men will go there with bow and arrow, for the land will be covered with briers and thorns.
Bato bakokota kuna na matolotolo mpe na bambanzi, pamba te mokili ekotonda na basende mpe na banzube.
25 For fear of the briers and thorns, you will no longer traverse the hills once tilled by the hoe; they will become places for oxen to graze and sheep to trample.
Bato bakoleka lisusu te na bangambo nyonso oyo bazalaki kosala bilanga na kongo, pamba te bakokoma kobanga basende mpe banzube; ngombe ekokoma kolia kuna, mpe meme ekonyata-nyata mabele na yango.
