Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you who plunder! Will you yourselves not also be plundered? And woe to you who despise! Will you yourselves not also be despised? When you will have completed your plundering, you will be plundered. When, out of fatigue, you will have ceased acting with contempt, you will be treated with contempt.
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 O Lord, take pity on us. For we have waited for you. Be our arm in the morning and our salvation in the time of tribulation.
Oh Yawe, yokela biso mawa, tozali kotalela Yo! Tongo nyonso, zala makasi na biso, zala lobiko na biso na tango ya pasi!
3 From the voice of the Angel, the people fled. And from your exultation, the nations were scattered.
Kaka na lokito ya mongongo na Yo, bato bakimaka; soki otelemi, bikolo epalanganaka.
4 And your spoils will be gathered together, just as the locusts are collected when the ditches have become filled with them.
Oh bikolo, bakolokota bomengo na bino ya bitumba ndenge balokotaka mankoko; bakosopanela yango na elulu ndenge mabanki esalaka.
5 The Lord has been magnified, because he has lived on high. He has filled Zion with judgment and justice.
Yawe anetolami mpo ete avandaka na likolo, akotondisa Siona na bosembo mpe na solo.
6 And there will be faith in your times: the riches of salvation, wisdom and knowledge. For the fear of the Lord is his treasure.
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, outside, those who see will cry out. The Angels of peace will weep bitterly.
Tala, basoda na bango ya mpiko bazali koganga makasi na balabala; bamemi sango ya kimia, azali kolela makasi.
8 The roads have become desolate. Travelers have ceased along the paths. The covenant has been nullified. He has tossed aside cities. He has disregarded 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 earth has mourned and languished. Lebanon has been confounded and desecrated. And Sharon has become like a desert. And Bashan and Carmel have been struck together.
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, I will rise up!” says the Lord. “Now I will be exalted! Now I will lift myself up!”
« Sik’oyo nakotelema, » elobi Yawe. « Sik’oyo nakonetolama, sik’oyo nakotombolama.
11 You will conceive heat. You will give birth to stubble. Your own spirit will devour you like fire.
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 people will be like the ashes from a fire. They will be consumed by fire like a bundle of thorns.
Bato bakozika na libanga ya moto, ndenge nzube oyo bakata ezikaka na moto. »
13 “You who are far away, listen to what I have done! And you who are near, acknowledge 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 Zion are terrified; trembling has taken hold of the hypocrites. Who among you is able to live with a devouring fire? Who among you will live with an everlasting flame?
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 The one who walks in justice and speaks the truth, who casts out avarice with oppression and shakes all bribes from his hands, who blocks his ears so that he may not listen to blood, and closes his eyes so that he may not see evil.
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 Such a one will live on high; the fortification of rocks will be his lofty place. Bread has been given to him; his waters are reliable.
Moto wana akovanda na likolo: mabanga ya makasi ekozala ekimelo na ye. Akozanga te lipa ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela.
17 His eyes will see the king in his elegance; they will discern the land from far away.
Miso na yo ekomona Mokonzi na kitoko na Ye nyonso mpe ekomona ndenge mokili ekenda kino na mosika.
18 Your heart will meditate on fear. Where are the learned? Where are those who ponder the words of the law? Where are the teachers of little ones?
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 You will not look upon a shameless people, a people of exalted words. For you are not able to understand the dissertation of a tongue in which there is no wisdom.
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 Look with favor upon Zion, the city of our solemnity. Your eyes will behold Jerusalem: an opulent habitation, a tabernacle that can never be taken away. Its stakes will not be taken away forever, nor will any of its cords be 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 only in that place has our Lord been magnified. It is a place of rivers, very broad and open. No ship with oars will cross through it, nor will the great Greek ship pass through it.
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 the Lord is our judge. The Lord is our lawgiver. The Lord is our king. He himself will 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 ropes have become loose, and they will not prevail. Your mast will be such that you will not be able to unfurl a flag. Then the spoils of much plunder will be divided. The lame will seize the spoils.
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 He who is nearby will not say: “I am too weak.” The people who live in it will have their iniquity taken away from them.
Movandi moke te ya Siona akoloba: « Nazali kobela! » Masumu ya bavandi ya kuna ekolimbisama.
