Isaiah 22
1 The word about the valley of vision. Why have all your people gone up to the house-tops?
Maloba na Yawe na tina na lubwaku ya Emoniseli: Likambo nini lisusu ekomeli bino sik’oyo mpo ete bino nyonso bomata na likolo ya mitondo ya ndako?
2 You, who are full of loud voices, a town of outcries, given up to joy; your dead men have not been put to the sword, or come to their death in war.
Oh engumba etonda na loyenge, engumba etonda na makelele mpe na bisengo! Bibembe na yo ekufi na mopanga te to mpe na bitumba te.
3 All your rulers ... have gone in flight; all your strong ones have gone far away.
Bakambi na yo nyonso bakimaki elongo; bakangaki bango na basoda na nguya ya tolotolo. Mpe bato na yo, oyo bazalaki kokima monguna na mosika, bakangaki bango mpe bakomaki elongo bakangami.
4 For this cause I have said, Let your eyes be turned away from me in my bitter weeping; I will not be comforted for the wasting of the daughter of my people.
Yango wana nalobaki: « Botika kotala Ngai, botika ete nalela makasi! Bomeka kobondisa Ngai te mpo na kobebisama ya bato na Ngai! »
5 For it is a day of trouble and of crushing down and of destruction from the Lord, the Lord of armies, in the valley of vision; ...
Pamba te ezali mokolo moko ya lokito ya bitumba, mokolo ya pasi makasi mpe ya somo kati na lubwaku ya Emoniseli kowuta na Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; ezali mokolo oyo mir ya makasi ekobukana mpe makelele ya koganga ekobima na bangomba.
6 And Elam was armed with arrows, and Aram came on horseback; and the breastplate of Kir was uncovered.
Mampinga ya Elami batomboli makonga, mosusu bamati na bashar mpe bampunda; Kiri abimisi nguba.
7 And your most fertile valleys were full of war-carriages, and the horsemen took up their positions in front of the town.
Lubwaku na yo, oyo eleki kitoko etondi na bashar, mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda batelemi-telemi na bikuke ya engumba;
8 He took away the cover of Judah; and in that day you were looking with care at the store of arms in the house of the woods.
bibombamelo ya Yuda etikali lisusu te. Na mokolo wana, obalolaki miso na yo na bibundeli oyo ezalaka na Ndako ya Zamba.
9 And you saw all the broken places in the wall of the town of David: and you got together the waters of the lower pool.
Bomonaki ete Engumba ya mokonzi Davidi ezali na madusu mingi kati na mir oyo ezingeli yango; boye bobombaki mayi kati na Liziba oyo ezalaka na se,
10 And you had the houses of Jerusalem numbered, pulling down the houses to make the wall stronger.
botangaki motango ya bandako ya Yelusalemi, bobukaki mosusu mpo na kolendisa mir ya monene.
11 And you made a place between the two walls for storing the waters of the old pool: but you gave no thought to him who had done this, and were not looking to him by whom it had been purposed long before.
Bosalaki liziba mpo na kobomba mayi ya liziba ya kala kati na bamir mibale, kasi bobalolaki miso na bino te mpo na kotala Ye oyo asalaki mpe abongisaki yango wuta kala.
12 And in that day the Lord, the Lord of armies, was looking for weeping, and cries of sorrow, cutting off of the hair, and putting on the clothing of grief:
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azalaki kobenga bino na mokolo wana mpo ete bolela mpe bosala matanga, bomikokola suki mpe bolata saki.
13 But in place of these there was joy and delight, oxen and sheep were being made ready for food, there was feasting and drinking: men said, Now is the time for food and wine, for tomorrow death comes.
Kasi tala, ezalaki kaka bisengo mpe loyenge, koboma bangombe mpe bameme ya mibali, bantaba ya basi, kolia misuni mpe komela masanga ya vino! Bozalaki koloba: « Tika ete tolia mpe tomela, pamba te, lobi, tokokufa! »
14 And the Lord of armies said to me secretly, Truly, this sin will not be taken from you till your death, says the Lord, the Lord of armies.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ayebisaki ngai yango na matoyi na ngai moko penza: « Kino bokokufa, bokotikala kozwa bolimbisi ya lisumu oyo te, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
15 The Lord, the Lord of armies, says, Go to this person in authority, this Shebna, who is over the house; who has made himself a resting-place on high, cutting out a place for himself in the rock, and say,
Tala maloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Kende kokuta Shebina, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi, loba na ye:
16 Who are you, and by what right have you made for yourself a resting-place here?
‹ Ozali kosala nini awa, mpe nani apesi yo nzela ya kotonga kunda na yo awa lokola moto oyo azali kotimola kunda na ye na likolo mpe kotonga epemelo na ye kati na lidusu ya libanga monene?
17 See, O strong man, the Lord will send you violently away, gripping you with force,
Tala, Yawe akomi pene ya koningisa yo mpe kobwaka yo mosika, yo moto ya makasi!
18 Twisting you round and round like a ball he will send you out into a wide country: there you will come to your end, and there will be the carriages of your pride, O shame of your lord's house!
Akobalola yo ndenge babalolaka ndembo mpe akobwaka yo na etando moko ya monene. Kuna nde okokufa, mpe bashar na yo ya lokumu ekotikala, yo oyo osalaka soni ya ndako ya mokonzi na yo.
19 And I will have you forced out of your place of authority, and pulled down from your position.
Nakolongola yo na mosala, mpe lokumu na yo ekosila.
20 And in that day I will send for my servant, Eliakim, the son of Hilkiah:
Na mokolo wana, nakobengisa mosali na Ngai, Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia.
21 And I will put your robe on him, and put your band about him, and I will give your authority into his hand: and he will be a father to the men of Jerusalem, and to the family of Judah.
Nakolatisa ye nzambala na yo, nakokanga ye mokaba na yo mpe nakopesa bokonzi na yo na maboko na ye. Akozala tata mpo na bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpe mpo na ndako ya Yuda.
22 And I will give the key of the family of David into his care; and what he keeps open will be shut by no one, and what he keeps shut no one will make open.
Nakotia fungola ya ndako ya Davidi na mapeka na ye: oyo akofungola, moto moko te akokanga yango; mpe oyo akokanga, moto moko te akofungola yango.
23 And I will put him like a nail in a safe place; and he will be for a seat of glory to his father's family.
Nakopika ye lokola sete na esika ya malamu; akozala lokola kiti ya bokonzi ya lokumu mpo na ndako ya tata na ye.
24 And all the glory of his father's family will be hanging on him, all their offspring, every small vessel, even the cups and the basins.
Nkembo nyonso ya ndako ya tata na ye ekozala likolo na ye: kobanda na bakitani na ye kino na bana na bango nyonso, lokola bisalelo oyo: kobanda na bakopo ya mike kino na mbeki ya minene.
25 In that day, says the Lord of armies, will the nail fixed in a safe place give way; and it will be cut down, and in its fall the weight hanging on it will be cut off, for the Lord has said it.
Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, sete oyo bapikaki na esika ya malamu ekolongwa, ekobukana mpe ekokweya; mpe mokumba oyo amemaki ekokweya. › » Yawe nde alobaki.
