< Isaiah 30 >

1 “Woe to the sons of apostasy!” says the Lord. For you would take advice, but not from me. And you would begin to weave, but not by my spirit. Thus do you add sin upon sin!
« Mawa na bana ya mito makasi, » elobi Yawe: « basalaka mabongisi oyo ewutaka epai na Ngai te mpe basalaka boyokani oyo ewuti na Molimo na Ngai te, mpo ete babakisa lisumu likolo ya lisumu;
2 You are walking so as to descend into Egypt, and you have not sought answers from my mouth, instead hoping for assistance from the strength of Pharaoh and placing trust in the shadow of Egypt.
mawa na bato oyo bakendaka na Ejipito, na kozanga kotuna toli na Ngai, mpo na koluka lisungi ya kobatelama epai ya Faraon mpe koluka ebombamelo na se ya elili ya Ejipito!
3 And so, the strength of Pharaoh will be your confusion, and trust in the shadow of Egypt will be your disgrace.
Kasi ndako batonga makasi ya Faraon epai wapi bokokimela ekokomela bino soni, mpe elili ya Ejipito ekokoma likambo ya soni makasi.
4 For your leaders were at Tanis, and your messengers have traveled even as far as Hanes.
Ata bakalaka na bango bazali na Tsoani mpe bantoma na bango bakomi na Anesi,
5 They have all been confounded because of a people who were not able to offer profit to them, who were not of assistance, nor of other usefulness, except to offer confusion and reproach.
bango nyonso bakoyoka kaka soni na miso ya bato oyo bakosunga bango ata moke te, oyo bakopesa bango ata lisungi to litomba moko te, kasi bobele soni mpe kotiolama. »
6 The burden of the beasts in the south. In a land of tribulation and anguish, from which go forth the lioness and the lion, the viper and the flying king snake, they carry their riches upon the shoulders of beasts of burden, and their valuables upon the humps of camels, to a people who are not able to offer profit to them.
Maloba na Yawe na tina na banyama ya Negevi: Kati na mokili ya pasi mpe ya kobanga, mokili ya bankosi ya mibali mpe ya bankosi ya basi, ya etupa mpe ya banyoka oyo epumbwaka, bantoma bazali komema bozwi na bango na mikongo ya ba-ane, bomengo na bango na mikongo ya bashamo, epai ya ekolo oyo ekotikala kopesa bango ata litomba moko te:
7 For Egypt will offer assistance, but without purpose or success. Therefore, concerning this, I cried out: “It is only arrogance! Remain calm.”
ekolo ya Ejipito oyo lisungi na yango ekozala penza na tina moko te; yango wana, napesi yango kombo « Rahavi. »
8 Now, therefore, enter and write for them upon a tablet, and note it diligently in a book, and this shall be a testimony in the last days, and even unto eternity.
Kende sik’oyo, koma makambo oyo na etando ya libanga liboso na bango, koma yango na buku moko mpo ete na mikolo oyo ekoya, ezala lokola litatoli ya libela na libela.
9 For they are a people who provoke to wrath, and they are lying sons, sons unwilling to listen to the law of God.
Bato oyo bazali libota ya batomboki, bazali bana ya lokuta, bana oyo balingaka te koyoka mateya ya Yawe;
10 They say to the seers, “Do not see,” and to those who behold: “Do not behold for us the things that are right. Speak to us of pleasing things. See errors for us.
balobaka na bato oyo bamonaka makambo: « Bomona te, » mpe na basakoli: « Bosakolela biso bimoniseli ya solo te, boyebisa biso makambo oyo esepelisaka biso, bosakolela biso makambo ya lokuta.
11 Take me from the way. Avert me from the path. Let the Holy One of Israel cease from before our face.”
Botika nzela wana, bobima penza na nzela wana mpe botika kotungisa biso mpo na Mosantu ya Isalaele! »
12 Because of this, thus says the Holy One of Israel: Since you have rejected this word, and you have hoped in calumny and rebellion, and since you have depended upon these things,
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Mosantu ya Isalaele alobi: « Lokola bobwaki maloba oyo, lokola bokangami na monyokoli mpe na mokosi oyo bozali kotiela motema,
13 for this reason, this iniquity will be to you like a breach that has fallen, and like a gap in a high wall. For its destruction will happen suddenly, when it is not expected.
lisumu oyo ekokoma mpo na bino lokola mir ya molayi oyo esala nzela mpe lidusu, bongo ebukani mpe ekweyi mbala moko na mbalakata.
14 And it will be crushed, just as the earthen vessel of a potter is destroyed by a sharp blow. And not even a fragment of its earthenware will be found, which might carry a little fire from the hearth, or which might draw a little water from a hollow.
Ekobukana ndambo-ndambo lokola mbeki ya mosali mbeki, ekopanzana penza nye na mawa te; bongo ata eteni moko te ekozwama kati na yango mpo na kozwela likala ya moto na mbabola to mpo na kotokela mayi na libulu. »
15 For thus says the Lord God, the Holy One of Israel: If you return and are quiet, you shall be saved. Your strength will be found in silence and in hope. But you are not willing!
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele, alobi: « Ekozala kati na kobongola mitema mpe kimia nde bokozwa lobiko na bino; ekozala na nzela ya kimia mpe ya elikya nde bokozwa makasi na bino; kasi bino, bolingi bongo te.
16 And you have said: “Never! Instead, we will flee by horseback.” For this reason, you will be put to flight. And you have said, “We will climb upon swift ones.” For this reason, those who pursue you will be even swifter.
Bolobaki: ‹ Te, tokopota mbangu likolo ya mpunda; › solo, bokokima nde! Bolobaki: ‹ Tokopota mbangu na mpunda oyo eleki mbangu; › solo, bato oyo bakolanda bino bakoleka bino na mbangu!
17 A thousand men will flee in terror from the face of one, and you will flee in terror from the face of five, until you who have been left behind are like the mast of a ship at the top of a mountain, or like a sign on a hill.
Bato nkoto moko bakokima na mangungu ya moto moko kaka; mpe na mangungu ya bato mitano, bino nyonso bokokima kino bokotikala lokola nzete ya bendele na songe ya ngomba, mpe lokola bendele na likolo ya ngomba moke. »
18 Therefore, the Lord waits, so that he may take pity on you. And therefore, he will be exalted for sparing you. For the Lord is the God of judgment. Blessed are all those who wait for him.
Nzokande, Yawe alingi kosalela bino ngolu, atelemi likolo mpo na koyokela bino mawa. Pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe ya sembo: Esengo na bato nyonso oyo batalelaka Ye!
19 For the people of Zion will live in Jerusalem. Bitterly, you will not weep. Mercifully, he will take pity on you. At the voice of your outcry, as soon as he hears, he will respond to you.
Oh bato ya Siona, bino oyo bavandaka na Yelusalemi, bokolela lisusu te. Tango bokobelela Ye, akoyokela bino mawa; tango kaka akoyoka, akoyanola bino.
20 And the Lord will give you thick bread and accessible water. And he will not cause your teacher to fly away from you anymore. And your eyes will behold your instructor.
Nkolo akopesa bino lipa na tango ya pasi, mpe mayi na tango ya minyoko; moto oyo akoteya bino akotikala lisusu ya kobombama te, kasi miso na bino moko ekomona ye.
21 And your ears will listen to the word of one admonishing you behind your back: “This is the way! Walk in it! And do not turn aside, neither to the right, nor to the left.”
Ata bokeyi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, matoyi na bino ekoyoka sima na bino liloba oyo: « Tala nzela yango oyo! »
22 And you will defile the plates of your silver graven images and the vestment of your gold molten idols. And you will throw these things away like the uncleanness of a menstruating woman. You will say to it, “Go away!”
Bokotala lokola mbindo bikeko oyo balatisa palata mpe bikeko ya bibende oyo balatisa wolo; bokobwaka yango mosika ndenge babwakaka elamba ya makila ya mwasi oyo azali komona sanza, mpe bokoloba na yango: « Longwa awa! »
23 And wherever you sow seed upon the earth, rain will be given to the seed. And bread from the grain of the earth will be very plentiful and full. In that day, the lamb will pasture in the spacious land of your possession.
Boye, akotindela yo lisusu mvula mpo na milona oyo okolona na mabele, mpe bilei oyo mabele ekobota na mokili ekozala ebele mpe elengi. Na mokolo wana, bibwele na bino ekolia na bazamba minene.
24 And your bulls, and the colts of the donkeys that work the ground, will eat a mix of grains like that winnowed on the threshing floor.
Bangombe mpe ba-ane oyo ebalolaka mabele ya bilanga ekolia matiti ya mungwa oyo baponi na pawu mpe na kiyungulu.
25 And there will be, on every lofty mountain, and on every elevated hill, rivers of running water, in the day of the slaughter of many, when the tower will fall.
Na mokolo ya kosambisa, tango bandako milayi ekobukana, bibale ya mayi ekotiola na bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse.
26 And the light of the moon will be like the light of the sun, and the light of the sun will be sevenfold, like the light of seven days, in the day when the Lord will bind the wound of his people, and when he will heal the stroke of their scourge.
Pole ya sanza ekongenga lokola pole ya moyi, mpe pole ya moyi ekongenga makasi koleka mbala sambo lokola pole ya mikolo sambo, na mokolo oyo Yawe akotia kisi na pota ya bato na Ye mpe akobikisa yango.
27 Behold, the name of the Lord arrives from far away. His fury is burning and heavy to bear. His lips have been filled with indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring fire.
Tala, wuta mosika, Kombo ya Yawe ezali koya; kanda na Ye ezali kopela lokola moto elongo na lipata ya molinga ya moto makasi; bibebu na Ye etondi na kanda, mpe lolemo na Ye ezali lokola moto oyo ebomaka.
28 His Spirit is like a torrent, inundating, even as high as the middle of the neck, in order to reduce the nations to nothing, along with the bridle of error that was in the jaws of the people.
Pema na Ye ezali lokola ebale oyo etondi makasi, ebale oyo etondi kino na kingo. Akoyungola bikolo na kiyungulu ya pasi, akotia na mbanga ya bato ebende oyo batiaka na minoko ya bampunda mpo ete emema bango na libunga.
29 There will be a song for you, as in the night of a sanctified solemnity, and a joy of heart, as when one travels with music to arrive at the mountain of the Lord, to the Strong One of Israel.
Mpo na bino, bokoyemba banzembo lokola na butu oyo basalaka bafeti ya bule; mitema na bino ekotonda na esengo lokola bato oyo bazali kobeta flite mpo na kokende na Ngomba ya Yawe, na Libanga ya Isalaele.
30 And the Lord will cause the glory of his voice to be heard, and, with a threatening fury and a devouring flame of fire, he will reveal the terror of his arm. He will crush with the whirlwind and with hailstones.
Yawe akosala ete bato bayoka mongongo na Ye ya nkembo mpe akomonisa bango nguya ya loboko na Ye kati na kanda makasi na Ye, kati na moto oyo ebomaka, kati na mvula makasi ya bakake mpe ya mabanga.
31 For at the voice of the Lord, Assur will dread being struck with the staff.
Mongongo ya Yawe ekokweyisa Asiri, mpe akobeta bango na lingenda na Ye ya bokonzi.
32 And when the passage of the staff has been begun, the Lord will cause it to rest upon him, with timbrels and harps. And with special battles, he will fight against them.
Mbala nyonso oyo Yawe akobeta bango fimbu na Ye ya kosambisa, ekolandisama na mindule ya bambunda mike mpe ya mandanda, ndenge moko mpe tango akoningisa loboko na Ye mpo na kobundisa bango.
33 For a burning place, deep and wide, has been prepared from yesterday, prepared by the King. Its nourishment is fire and much wood. The breath of the Lord, like a torrent of brimstone, kindles it.
Babongisaki wuta kala Tofeti, babongisaki yango nde mpo na mokonzi; basalaki libulu na yango ya moto mozindo mpe monene mpo ete ebimisa moto makasi mpe ekota bakoni ebele. Pema na Yawe, oyo ezali lokola ebale ya sofolo nde ekopelisa yango.
