Isaiah 10
1 Woe to those who make unfair laws, and who, when writing, write injustice:
Mawa na bato oyo basalaka mibeko ezanga bosembo, na ba-oyo bakomaka mibeko oyo enyokolaka bato!
2 in order to oppress the poor in judgment, and to do violence to the case of the humble of my people, in order that widows may be their prey, and that they might plunder the orphan.
Bapimelaka bato pamba bosembo mpe babotolaka makoki ya babola, mpo na kobotola biloko ya basi bakufisa mibali mpe ya bana bitike.
3 What will you do on the day of visitation and calamity which is approaching from afar? To whom will you flee for assistance? And where will you leave behind your own glory,
Bokosala nini na mokolo ya kosambisama, tango pasi ekowuta mosika? Bokokimela epai ya nani mpo ete asunga bino? Esika nini bokobomba bomengo na bino?
4 so that you may not be bowed down under the chains, and fall with the slain? Concerning all this, his fury was not turned away; instead, his hand was still extended.
Eloko kaka bokotikala na yango: kokitisa elongi na se elongo na bato ya boloko to kokufa elongo na bato oyo babomi. Kasi atako bongo, kanda ya Yawe ekitaki kaka te, loboko na Ye etikalaki kaka ya kosembolama.
5 Woe to Assur! He is the rod and the staff of my fury, and my indignation is in their hands.
Mawa na Asiri, lingenda ya kanda na Ngai; nzete oyo ezali na loboko na ye ezali nde esalelo ya kanda na Ngai!
6 I will send him to a deceitful nation, and I will order him against the people of my fury, so that he may take away the plunder, and tear apart the prey, and place it to be trampled like the mud of the streets.
Natindi ye mpo ete atelemela ekolo oyo eyebi Yawe te mpe bato oyo bapesaka Ngai kanda, mpo ete abebisa mpe abotola biloko na bango mpe anyata bango lokola potopoto ya balabala.
7 But he will not consider it to be so, and his heart will not suppose it to be this way. Instead, his heart will be set to crush and to exterminate more than a few nations.
Kasi mokonzi ya Asiri amonaka yango bongo te, akanisaka yango bongo te; akanisaka kaka koboma mpe kobebisa bikolo ebele.
8 For he will say:
Azali koloba: « Boni, bakambi na ngai bazali bango nyonso ndenge moko na bakonzi te?
9 “Are not my princes like many kings? Is not Calno like Carchemish, and Hamath like Arpad? Is not Samaria like Damascus?
Engumba Kalino ekweyaki te lokola engumba Karikemishi? Engumba Amati, lokola engumba Aripadi te? Engumba Samari, lokola engumba Damasi te?
10 In the same manner as my hand reached the kingdoms of the idol, so also will it reach their false images, those of Jerusalem and of Samaria.
Soki loboko na Ngai esukisaki bikolo oyo esambelaka banzambe ya bikeko, bikolo oyo ezalaki na banzambe ya bikeko ebele koleka Yelusalemi mpe Samari,
11 Should I not do to Jerusalem and her false images, just as I have done to Samaria and her idols?”
nakokoka te penza kosala Yelusalemi elongo na banzambe na yango ya bikeko ndenge nasalaki Samari mpe banzambe na yango ya bikeko? »
12 And this shall be: when the Lord will have completed each of his works on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, I will act against the fruit of the exalted heart of king Assur, and against the glory of the haughtiness of his eyes.
Tango Yawe akosilisa mosala na Ye ya kotelemela ngomba Siona mpe Yelusalemi, akoloba: « Nakopesa etumbu na mokonzi ya Asiri mpo na lolendo ya motema na ye mpe mpo na lofundu ya etaleli na ye.
13 For he has said: “I have acted with the strength of my own hand, and I have understood with my own wisdom, and I have removed the limits of the people, and I have plundered their leaders, and, like one with power, I have pulled down those residing on high.
Pamba te azalaki koloba: ‹ Nazalaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso na makasi mpe na bwanya na ngai moko, pamba te nazali mayele; napusaki bandelo ya bikolo, nabotolaki bomengo na bango lokola elombe, nalongaki bakonzi na bango.
14 And my hand has reached to the strength of the people, as to a nest. And, just as the eggs which have been left behind are gathered, so have I gathered the entire earth. And there was no one who moved a wing, or opened a mouth, or uttered a snarl.”
Loboko na ngai ekamataki bomengo na bango ndenge bakamataka zala ya ndeke; mpe ndenge bato balokotaka maki batika, ndenge wana mpe ngai nalokotaki mokili mobimba: moko te eningisaki lipapu to efungolaki monoko mpo na kobeta piololo. › »
15 Should the axe glorify itself over him who wields it? Or can the saw exalt itself over him who pulls it? How can a rod lift itself up against him who wields it, or a staff exalt itself, though it is only wood?
Boni, epasola ekoki solo komimatisa liboso ya moto oyo asalelaka yango; si ya mabaya ekoki solo komikumisa liboso ya moto oyo asalelaka yango? Bosila komona fimbu koningisa moto oyo asalelaka yango to etape ya nzete kotombola nzete na yango?
16 Because of this, the sovereign Lord, the Lord of hosts, will send leanness among his fat ones. And under the influence of his glory, a burning ardor will rage, like a consuming fire.
Yango wana Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akotindela basoda na ye ya mbinga bokono oyo ekondisaka nzoto. Na se ya nkembo na Ye, bakopelisa moto lokola fulu ya moto.
17 And the light of Israel will be like a fire, and the Holy One of Israel will be like a flame. And his thorns and briers will be set ablaze and devoured, in one day.
Pole ya Isalaele ekokoma moto, Mosantu ya Isalaele akopela lokola moto; kaka na mokolo moko, akotumba mpe akozikisa basende mpe banzube ya Asiri,
18 And the glory of his forest and of his beautiful hill will be consumed, from the soul even to the flesh. And he will flee away in terror.
akozikisa nye bazamba na yango ya minene mpe bilanga na yango ya kitoko ndenge mobeli akondaka.
19 And what remains of the trees of his forest will be so few, and so easily numbered, that even a child could write them down.
Kati na bazamba na yango, ekotikala kaka banzete moke oyo ata mwana moke akokoka kotanga motango na yango.
20 And this shall be in that day: those not added to the remnant of Israel, and those who escape of the house of Jacob, will not lean upon him who strikes them. Instead, they will lean upon the Lord, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Na mokolo wana, batikali ya Isalaele mpe bato ya libota ya Jakobi oyo bakobika bakomipesa lisusu te na maboko ya moto oyo azalaki kobeta bango; kasi bakomipesa na solo epai na Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele.
21 The remnant of Jacob, again I say the remnant, will be converted to the mighty God.
Ndambo ya bakitani ya Jakobi bakozonga epai ya Nzambe na nguya.
22 For though your people, O Israel, will be like the sand of the sea, yet only a remnant of them will be converted. The consummation, having been shortened, will be inundated with justice.
Oh Isalaele, ata bato na yo bazali ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, ndambo kaka nde bakozonga; pamba te Nzambe azwi mokano ya kobebisa bato, akomema bosembo lokola mpela.
23 For the Lord, the God of hosts, will accomplish an abbreviation and a consummation, in the midst of all the earth.
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokokisa kobebisama oyo akanaki mpo na mokili mobimba.
24 For this reason, the Lord, the God of hosts, says this: “My people, who inhabit Zion: do not be afraid of Assur. He will strike you with his rod, and he will lift up his staff over you, on the way of Egypt.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Oh bato na Ngai, bino oyo bovandi kati na Siona, bozala na somo te ya bato ya Asiri oyo bazali kobeta bino fimbu mpe kotombola nzete mpo na kobeta bino ndenge bato ya Ejipito bazalaki kosala.
25 But after a little while and a brief time, my indignation will be consumed, and my fury will turn to their wickedness.”
Kala mingi te, kanda na Ngai epai na bino ekosila mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi ekobalukela bango mpo na kobebisa bango. »
26 And the Lord of hosts will raise up a scourge over him, like the scourge of Midian at the rock of Oreb, and he will raise up his rod over the sea, and he will lift it up against the way of Egypt.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akotombola fimbu mpo na kobeta Asiri ndenge abetaki Madiani na libanga ya Orebi. Mpe lisusu, akotombola nzete na Ye likolo ya ebale monene lokola na Ejipito.
27 And this shall be in that day: his burden will be taken away from your shoulder, and his yoke will be taken away from your neck, and the yoke will decay at the appearance of the oil.
Na mokolo wana, bakolongola mokumba na likolo ya mapeka na bino mpe na ekangiseli na bakingo na bino. Tango mokumba yango ekolongwa, ekotika esika na bomengo.
28 He will approach Aiath; he will cross into Migron; he will entrust his vessels to Michmash.
Tala bango wana bazali koya na Ayati, bazali koleka na lubwaku ya Migironi, babombi biloko na bango na Mikimasi.
29 They have passed through in haste; Geba is our seat; Ramah was stupefied; Gibeah of Saul fled.
Baleki kati na bangomba mpe balobi: « Tokotonga molako mpe tokolekisa butu na Geba. » Bato ya Rama bakomi kolenga na somo, mpe bato ya Gibea, engumba ya mokonzi Saulo, bakimi.
30 Neigh with your voice, daughter of Gallim; pay attention, Laishah, impoverished woman of Anathoth.
Oh bato ya Galimi, boganga makasi! Oh Layisi, sala keba! Oh engumba Anatoti, mawa na yo!
31 Madmenah has moved away; be strengthened, you inhabitants of Gebim.
Bato ya Madimena bakimi, bato ya Gebimi bazali koluka ekimelo;
32 It is still daylight, so stand at Nob. He will shake his hand against the mountain of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem.
Na mokolo ya lelo, bakotelema na Nobi, bakobeta makofi na bango na ngomba Siona, mboka kitoko, mpe na ngomba moke ya Yelusalemi.
33 Behold, the sovereign Lord of hosts will crush the little bottle of wine with terror, and the exalted in stature will be cut down, and the lofty will be brought low.
Tala, Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokata bitape ya banzete na nguya monene, akokata banzete milayi mpe oyo eleki milayi, akokomisa yango mikuse.
34 And the dense forest will be overturned with iron. And Lebanon, with its exalted ones, will fall.
Akokata na epasola banzete nyonso kati na zamba: Libani ekokweya liboso ya Elombe.
