Esias 51
1 Listen to me, you that follow after righteousness, and seek the Lord: look to the solid rock, which you have hewn, and to the hole of the pit which you have dug.
« Boyoka ngai, bino bato oyo bolukaka bosembo mpe bolukaka Yawe! Botala libanga epai wapi bosalemaki, mpe libulu epai wapi bobendamaki.
2 Look to Abraam your father, and to Sarrha that bore you: for he was alone when I called him, and blessed him, and loved him, and multiplied him.
Botala Abrayami, tata na bino; mpe Sara oyo abotaki bino. Tango nabengaki ye, azalaki kaka ye moko; napambolaki ye mpe nakomisaki ye tata ya bato ebele!
3 And now I will comfort you, O Sion: and I have comforted all her desert places; and I will make her desert places as a garden, and her western places as the garden of the Lord; they shall find in her gladness and exultation, thanksgiving and the voice of praise.
Solo, Yawe akobondisa Siona mpe akotala na liso ya ngolu bisika nyonso ya Siona oyo ebeba; akokomisa esobe na yango lokola Edeni, bisika na yango ekawuka, lokola elanga ya Yawe. Esengo mpe kosepela nde ekomonana kuna, matondi mpe mongongo ya banzembo.
4 Hear me, hear me, my people; and you kings, listen to me: for a law shall proceed from me, and my judgement [shall be] for a light of the nations.
Oh bato na ngai, boyoka ngai! Bino, ekolo na ngai, boyoka ngai malamu: Mpo ete Mobeko ekobimela epai na ngai, lolenge na ngai ya kokata makambo ekoyeisa pole na bikolo.
5 My righteousness speedily draws near, and my salvation shall go forth as light, and on mine arm shall the Gentiles trust: the isles shall wait for me, and on mine arm shall they trust.
Bosembo na ngai ezali pene, lobiko na ngai ebimi na lombangu, mpe maboko na ngai ekosambisa bikolo. Bisanga ekotalela ngai, ekozala na elikya na nguya ya loboko na ngai.
6 Lift up your eyes to the sky, and look on the earth beneath: for the sky was darkened like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment, and the inhabitants shall die in like manner: but my righteousness shall not fail.
Botombola miso na bino na likolo, botala na se, na mabele; likolo ekolimwa lokola milinga, mabele ekonuna lokola elamba, mpe bavandi na yango bakokufa lokola banzinzi. Kasi lobiko na ngai ekowumela seko na seko, bosembo na ngai ekotikala kokweya mokolo moko te.
7 Hear me, you that know judgement, the people in whose heart is my law: fear not the reproach of men, and be not overcome by their contempt.
Boyoka ngai, bino bato oyo boyebi bosembo, bino bato oyo bozali na Mobeko na ngai kati na mitema na bino: Bobanga te lolenge bato bakotiola bino to bozala na somo ya mangungu na bango te.
8 For as a garment will be devoured by time, and as wool will be devoured by a moth, [so shall they be consumed]; but my righteousness shall be for ever, and my salvation for all generations.
Pamba te nseka ekolia bango lokola elamba, mpe bampese ekolia bango lokola elamba basala na bapwale ya meme; kasi bosembo na ngai ekowumela seko na seko, mpe lobiko na ngai, bileko na bileko. »
9 Awake, awake, O Jerusalem, and put on the strength of your arm; awake as in the early time, as the ancient generation.
Oh loboko na Yawe, lamuka, lamuka! Lata makasi! Lamuka, lokola na mikolo ya kala, na bileko oyo eleka kala! Ezali Yo te oyo okataki-kataki Raabi, oyo obomaki dalagona?
10 Are you not it that dried the sea, the water, [even] the abundance of the deep; that made the depths of the sea a way of passage for the delivered and redeemed?
Ezali Yo te oyo okawusaki ebale monene, mayi oyo ya mozindo makasi? Ezali Yo te oyo opasolaki nzela kati na ebale monene mpo ete basikolami na Yo bakoka kokatisa?
11 for by [the help of] the Lord they shall return, and come to Sion with joy and everlasting exultation, for praise and joy shall come upon their head: pain, and grief, and groaning, have fled away.
Boye, bato oyo Yawe akangoli bakozonga, bakokota kati na Siona na banzembo ya esengo; esengo ya libela na libela ekozala lokola motole na mito na bango; bakotondisama na esengo mpe na kosepela, bongo pasi mpe minyoko ekokima mosika na bango.
12 I, [even] I, am he that comforts you: consider who you are, that you were afraid of mortal man, and of the son of man, who are withered as grass.
« Ezali Ngai, Ngai nde nabondisaka bino. Ozali nani mpo ete obanga moto oyo akokufa, mwana na moto oyo azali kaka lokola matiti?
13 And you have forgotten God who made you, who made the sky and founded the earth; and you were continually afraid because of the wrath of him that afflicted you: for [whereas] he counselled to take you away, yet now where is the wrath of him that afflicted you?
Ozali mpe kobosana Yawe, Mokeli na Yo, oyo atandaki likolo ndenge batandaka liputa mpe atongaki miboko ya mabele, mpo ete okoma kobika mikolo nyonso na kobanga liboso ya kanda ya banyokoli oyo babongisami mpo na kobebisama? Pamba te, wapi kanda ya banyokoli?
14 For in your deliverance he shall not halt, nor wait;
Etikali kaka moke, bakangami bakozwa bonsomi, bakokufa lisusu te kati na boloko na bango mpe bakozanga lisusu bilei te.
15 for I am your God, that troubles the sea, and causes the waves thereof to roar: the Lord of hosts is my name.
Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na Yo, oyo aningisaka ebale monene mpo ete mbonge na yango etomboka. Kombo na Ye ezali ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. ›
16 I will put my words into your mouth, and I will shelter you under the shadow of mine hand, with which I fixed the sky, and founded the earth: and [the Lord] shall say to Sion, You are my people.
Natiaki maloba na Ngai na monoko na yo, mpe nazipi yo na elili ya loboko na ngai; nazali Ye oyo atiaki likolo na esika na yango, oyo atongaki miboko ya mabele mpe oyo alobaki na Siona: ‹ Bozali bato na Ngai! › »
17 Awake, awake, stand up, O Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of the Lord the cup of his fury: for you have drunk out and drained the cup of calamity, the cup of wrath:
Lamuka, lamuka! Telema, Yelusalemi, yo oyo omelaki, wuta na loboko ya Yawe, kopo ya kanda na Ye; yo oyo omelaki mpe osilisaki kino na suka kopo oyo epesaka bato kizunguzungu.
18 and there was none to comfort you of all the children whom you bore; and there was none to take hold of your hand, not even of all the children whom you has reared.
Kati na bana nyonso oyo abotaki, Ezali na mwana moko te oyo azali kolakisa ye nzela; kati na bana oyo abokolaki, moko te azali kosimba ye na loboko.
19 Therefore these things are against you; who shall sympathise with you in your grief? downfall, and destruction, famine, and sword: who shall comfort you?
Makama mibale oyo ekomeli yo, nani akoki kolendisa yo: Mokili na yo ekomi mipiku ya mabanga mpe ebebisami, nzala makasi mpe mopanga, nani akobondisa yo?
20 Your sons are the perplexed ones, that sleep at the top of every street as a half-boiled beet; they that are full of the anger of the Lord, caused to faint by the Lord God.
Bana na yo balembi, balali-lali na babalabala nyonso lokola mboloko oyo ekangami na motambo; kanda ya Yawe mpe pamela ya Nzambe na yo nde ebuki-buki bango lolenge wana.
21 Therefore hear, you afflicted one, and drunken, [but] not with wine;
Yango wana, yo oyo basambwisi, yo oyo olangwe, kasi na masanga ya vino te, yoka makambo oyo:
22 thus says the Lord God that judges his people, Behold, I have taken out of your hand the cup of calamity, the cup of my wrath; and you shall not drink it any more.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abundelaka bato na Ye, alobi: « Tala, nalongoli kopo ya kizunguzungu, kopo ya kanda na Ngai, na loboko na yo, okomela yango lisusu te.
23 And I will give it into the hands of them that injured you, and them that afflicted you; who said to your soul, Bow down, that we may pass over: and you did level your body with the ground to them passing by without.
Nakotia yango na loboko ya banyokoli na yo, oyo balobaki na yo: ‹ Lala na se mpo ete totambola likolo na yo! › Mpe okomisaki mokongo na yo lokola nzela, lokola balabala mpo ete batambola likolo na yo. »
