Esias 33
1 Woe to them that afflict you; but no one makes you miserable: and he that deals perfidiously with you does not deal perfidiously: they that deal perfidiously shall be taken and given up, and as a moth on a garment, so shall they be spoiled.
Oh mobebisi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu obebisama te! Oh mofundi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu bafunda te! Tango okosilisa kobebisa, yo mpe bakobebisa yo, tango okosilisa kofunda, yo mpe bakofunda yo.
2 Lord, have mercy upon us; for we have trusted in you: the seed of the rebellious is gone to destruction, but our deliverance was in a time of affliction.
Oh Yawe, yokela biso mawa, tozali kotalela Yo! Tongo nyonso, zala makasi na biso, zala lobiko na biso na tango ya pasi!
3 By reason of the terrible sound the nations were dismayed for fear of you, and the heathen were scattered.
Kaka na lokito ya mongongo na Yo, bato bakimaka; soki otelemi, bikolo epalanganaka.
4 And now shall the spoils of your small and great be gathered: as if one should gather locusts, so shall they mock you.
Oh bikolo, bakolokota bomengo na bino ya bitumba ndenge balokotaka mankoko; bakosopanela yango na elulu ndenge mabanki esalaka.
5 The God who dwells on high is holy: Sion is filled with judgement and righteousness.
Yawe anetolami mpo ete avandaka na likolo, akotondisa Siona na bosembo mpe na solo.
6 They shall be delivered up to the law: our salvation is our treasure: there are wisdom and knowledge and piety towards the Lord; these are the treasures of righteousness.
Mikolo ya bomoi na yo ekozala na kimia; bwanya mpe boyebi ekozala bomengo ya lobiko na yo; kotosa Yawe, yango nde bozwi na yo.
7 Behold now, these shall be terrified with fear of you: those whom you feared shall cry out because of you: messengers shall be sent, bitterly weeping, entreating for peace.
Tala, basoda na bango ya mpiko bazali koganga makasi na balabala; bamemi sango ya kimia, azali kolela makasi.
8 For the ways of these shall be made desolate: the terror of the nations has been made to cease, and the covenant with these is taken away, and you shall by no means deem them men.
Nzela ya minene esili kokawuka, ata moto moko te ya mobembo azali koleka. Mobebisi abuki boyokani, asambwisi bingumba mpe azali na botosi ya moto ata moko te.
9 The land mourns; Libanus is ashamed: Saron is become marshes; Galilee shall be laid bare, and Chermel.
Mokili ezali na matanga, esili kolemba nzoto, Libani esambwe na soni mpe elembi-lembi lokola fololo, Saroni ekomi lokola esobe mpe Bashani mpe Karimeli ekweyisi makasa na yango.
10 Now will I arise, says the Lord, now will I be glorified; now will I be exalted.
« Sik’oyo nakotelema, » elobi Yawe. « Sik’oyo nakonetolama, sik’oyo nakotombolama.
11 Now shall you see, now shall you perceive; the strength of your breath, shall be vain; fire shall devour you.
Mabongisi ya mitema na bino ezali kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka mpe soki ekokisami, ezalaka kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka, pema na bino moko ekozikisa bino lokola moto.
12 And the nations shall be burnt up; as a thorn in the field cast out and burnt up.
Bato bakozika na libanga ya moto, ndenge nzube oyo bakata ezikaka na moto. »
13 They that are afar off shall hear what I have done; they that draw near shall know my strength.
Bino bato oyo bozali mosika, boyoka makambo oyo nazali kosala, bino bato oyo bozali pene, bososola nguya na ngai!
14 The sinners in Sion have departed; trembling shall seize the ungodly. Who will tell you that a fire is kindled? Who will tell you of the eternal place?
Bato ya masumu bazali kolenga kati na Siona, somo ekangi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe te: « Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo ezikisaka? Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo epelaka tango nyonso? »
15 He that walks in righteousness, speaking rightly, hating transgression and iniquity, and shaking his hands from gifts, stopping his ears that he should not hear the judgement of blood, shutting his eyes that he should not see injustice.
Moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo mpe alobaka solo, moto oyo abwakaka litomba oyo ezwami na nzela ya moyibi, moto oyo asembolaka maboko na ye te mpo na kozwa kanyaka, moto oyo akangaka matoyi na ye mpo na koboya koyoka masolo ya koboma bato, mpe oyo akangaka miso na ye mpo na koboya komona mabe.
16 he shall dwell in a high cave of a strong rock: bread shall be given him, and his water shall be sure.
Moto wana akovanda na likolo: mabanga ya makasi ekozala ekimelo na ye. Akozanga te lipa ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela.
17 You shall see a king with glory: your eyes shall behold a land from afar.
Miso na yo ekomona Mokonzi na kitoko na Ye nyonso mpe ekomona ndenge mokili ekenda kino na mosika.
18 Your soul shall meditate terror. Where are the scribes? where are the counsellors, where is he that numbers them that are growing up,
Motema na yo ekokanisa lisusu somo oyo ozalaki koyoka: « Wapi mokonzi oyo azwaka mpako? Wapi moto oyo amekaka bakilo? Wapi moto oyo atalaka bandako na biso ya milayi? »
19 [even] the small and great people? with whom he took not counsel, neither did he understand [a people] of deep speech, so that a despised people should not hear, and there is no understanding to him that hears.
Okomona lisusu bato ya lolendo te, bato oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koyoka mpe maloba na bango, pasi mpo na kososola.
20 Behold the city of Sion, our refuge: your eyes shall behold Jerusalem, a rich city, tabernacles which shall not be shaken, neither shall the pins of her tabernacle be moved for ever, neither shall her cords be at all broken:
Tala Siona, engumba ya bafeti na biso ya minene, miso na yo ekomona Yelusalemi, ndako ya kimia, ndako ya kapo oyo ekopikama makasi; bakokoka kopikola makonzi na yango te, mpe basinga na yango ekokatana te.
21 for the name of the Lord is great to you: you shall have a place, [even] rivers and wide and spacious channels: you shall not go this way, neither a vessel with oars go [thereby].
Kuna, Yawe akozala Elombe na biso. Ekozala etuka ya bibale minene mpe ya miluka. Masuwa moko te ekoya kuna, masuwa moko te ya lokumu ekoleka wana.
22 For my God is great: the Lord our judge shall not pass me by: the Lord is our prince, the Lord is our king; the Lord, he shall save us.
Pamba te Yawe azali Mosambisi na biso, Yawe azali Mosali mibeko na biso, Yawe azali Mokonzi na biso; Ye nde akobikisa biso.
23 Your cords are broken, for they had no strength: your meat has given way, it shall not spread the sails, it shall not bear a signal, until it be given up for plunder; therefore shall many lame men take spoil.
Basinga na yo esili kolemba, ezali lisusu te kosimba malamu nzete ya bendele; ezali lisusu te kofungola malamu vwale. Boye, na tango bakokabola ebele ya bomengo ya bitumba, bato ya tengu-tengu, bango moko penza, bakobotola eteni na bango ya bomengo.
24 And the people dwelling amongst them shall by no means say, I am in pain: for their sin shall be forgiven them.
Movandi moke te ya Siona akoloba: « Nazali kobela! » Masumu ya bavandi ya kuna ekolimbisama.
