Isaiah 26
1 In that day, this canticle will be sung in the land of Judah. Within it will be set the city of our strength: Zion, a savior, a wall with a bulwark.
Na mokolo wana, bakoyemba nzembo oyo kati na mokili ya Yuda: Tozali na engumba moko ya makasi; Nzambe akomisi lobiko lokola mir mpe ebombamelo na yango.
2 Open the gates, and let the just people who guard the truth enter.
Bofungola bikuke mpo ete ekolo ya sembo, ekolo oyo ebatelaka boyokani, ekoka kokota!
3 The old error has gone away. You will serve peace: peace, for we have hoped in you.
Ndenge esila kokatama, ye oyo akomitika epai na Yo, okobatela ye na kimia, na kimia penza, mpo ete amipesi mobimba epai na Yo.
4 You have trusted in the Lord for all eternity, in the Lord God almighty forever.
Botia tango nyonso elikya na Yawe, pamba te Yawe azali penza Libanga ya tango nyonso.
5 For he will bend down those living in the heights. He will bring low the lofty city. He will lower it, even to the ground. He will tear it down, even to the dust.
Akitisaka bavandi ya likolo, akweyisaka engumba oyo batonga makasi, alalisaka yango penza na mabele mpe akomisaka yango putulu.
6 The foot will tread it down: the feet of the poor, the steps of the indigent.
Makolo ya bato ekonyata-nyata yango: makolo ya babola, matambe ya bato pamba.
7 The path of the just is upright; the difficult path of the just is right to walk in.
Nzela ya moto ya sembo, ezali alima; Yo oyo ozali Sembo, okomisaka kitoko nzela ya moto ya sembo.
8 And in the path of your judgments, O Lord, we have endured for you. Your name and your remembrance are the desire of the soul.
Oh Yawe, tango totambolaka na nzela oyo mibeko na Yo etalisaka, totalelaka Yo; Kombo na Yo mpe kotatola yango, yango nde posa ya mitema na biso.
9 My soul has desired you in the night. But I will also watch for you with my spirit, in my inmost heart, from the morning. When you accomplish your judgments upon the earth, the inhabitants of the world will learn justice.
Na butu, motema na ngai ezali solo na posa na Yo; kati na ngai, molimo na ngai ezali kolukaluka Yo makasi, pamba te bavandi ya mokili bayekolaka bosembo tango opesaka mabele bitumbu.
10 Let us take pity on the impious one, but he will not learn justice. In the land of the holy ones, he has done iniquity, and so he will not see the glory of the Lord.
Soki basaleli moto mabe ngolu, akoyekola bosembo te; ezala kati na mokili ya bosembo, asalaka kaka mabe mpe amonaka na ye monene ya Yawe te.
11 Lord, let your hand be exalted, and let them not see it. May the envious people see and be confounded. And may fire devour your enemies.
Oh Yawe, loboko na Yo emati solo likolo, kasi bazali komona yango te. Tika ete bayokisama soni tango bakomona bolingo makasi na Yo, oyo eleka ndelo mpo na bato na Yo; tika ete moto oyo obongiselaki banguna na Yo etumba bango!
12 Lord, you will give us peace. For all our works have been wrought for us by you.
Yawe, okopesa biso kimia, pamba te okokiselaka biso misala nyonso oyo tosalaka.
13 O Lord our God, other lords have possessed us apart from you, but in you alone let us remember your name.
Oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atako bakonzi mosusu bakambaki biso, kasi biso, topesaka lokumu kaka na Kombo na Yo.
14 Let not the dead live; let not the giants rise up again. For this reason, you have visited and destroyed them, and you have perished all remembrance of them.
Bakufi bakozala lisusu na bomoi te, milimo ya bakufi ekozonga lisusu na bomoi te; opesaki bango etumbu mpe obomaki bango nye; osalaki ete ata moto moko te akanisa bango lisusu!
15 You have been lenient to the people, O Lord, lenient to the people. But have you been glorified? You have removed all the limits of the earth.
Oh Yawe, okomisi ekolo na Yo monene! Solo, okomisi ekolo na Yo monene, omipesi penza lokumu; opusi bandelo nyonso ya mokili mosika penza.
16 Lord, they have sought you in anguish. Your doctrine was with them, amid the tribulation of murmuring.
Yawe, kati na pasi na bango, balukaki Yo; tango opesaki bango etumbu, bamikabaki na mabondeli makasi.
17 Like a woman who has conceived and is approaching the time for delivery, who, in anguish, cries out in her pains, so have we become before your face, O Lord.
Oh Yawe, tozalaki liboso na Yo lokola mwasi ya zemi oyo akomi pene ya kobota, bongo azali kobaluka mpe koganga na pasi.
18 We have conceived, and it is as if we were in labor, but we have given birth to wind. We have not brought forth salvation on the earth. For this reason, the inhabitants of the earth have not fallen.
Tozalaki na zemi, tozalaki mpe kobaluka na pasi; kasi tango tobotaki, tobotaki kaka mopepe: tomemelaki mabele lobiko te, mpe tomemelaki mokili bato ya sika te.
19 Your dead shall live. My slain will rise again. Be awakened, and give praise, you who live in the dust! For your dew is the dew of the light, and you shall be dragged down to the land of the giants, to ruination.
Kasi bato na Yo, oyo bakufa bakozonga lisusu na bomoi, bibembe na bango ekosekwa. Bino bato oyo bovandaka kati na putulu, bolamuka mpe boganga na esengo! Pamba te mamwe na Yo ezali lokola mamwe ya tongo; mabele ekopesa bomoi epai ya bakufi.
20 Go, my people! Enter your chambers. Close your doors behind you. Conceal yourselves for a very brief time, until the indignation has passed over you.
Bato na ngai, bokende, bokota na bashambre na bino mpe bokanga bikuke sima na bino; bomibomba nanu mwa tango moke kino tango kanda ekoleka.
21 For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place, so that he may visit the iniquity of each inhabitant of the earth against him. And the earth will reveal its blood, and it will no longer cover its slain.
Tala, Yawe azali kobima wuta na esika na Ye mpo na kopesa bato ya mokili etumbu mpo na masumu na bango; mabele ekobimisa makila oyo basopa likolo na yango, ekobomba lisusu te bato oyo baboma.
