Isaiah 35
1 The desolate and impassable land will rejoice, and the place of solitude will exult, and it will flourish like the lily.
Tika ete esobe mpe mabele ya kokawuka esepela! Tika ete esobe eyoka esengo mpe ebimisa fololo ya motane lokola roze!
2 It will spring up and blossom, and it will exult with rejoicing and praising. The glory of Lebanon has been given to it, with the beauty of Carmel and Sharon. These will see the glory of the Lord and the beauty of our God.
Ekobota fololo mingi penza mpe ekosepela, ekosepela mpe ekoganga na esengo. Nkembo ya Libani, lokumu ya Karimeli mpe ya Saroni ekopesamela yango; boye bakomona nkembo ya Yawe, lokumu ya Nzambe na biso.
3 Strengthen the lax hands, and confirm the weak knees!
Pesa makasi na maboko oyo elembi, lendisa mabolongo oyo ezali kolenga;
4 Say to the fainthearted: “Take courage and fear not! Behold, your God will bring the vindication of retribution. God himself will arrive to save you.”
Loba na bato oyo bazali kobanga: « Bozala makasi, bobanga te, Nzambe na bino akoya, akoya kozongisa mabe na mabe, akoya na lifuti ya Nzambe. Ye moko akoya kobikisa bino. »
5 Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be cleared.
Boye, bakufi miso bakomona mpe bakufi matoyi bakoyoka.
6 Then the disabled will leap like a buck, and the tongue of the mute will be untied. For the waters have burst forth in the desert, and torrents in solitary places.
Moto ya tengu-tengu akopumbwa lokola mboloko, mpe lolemo ya baba ekoyemba na esengo. Mayi ekobima na esobe, mpe bibale, na bisika ya kokawuka.
7 And the land that was dry will have a pond, and the thirsty land will have fountains of water. In the hollows where the serpents lived before, there will rise up the greenery of reed and bulrush.
Zelo ya esobe ekobongwana liziba ya mayi, mpe mabele ya kokawuka ekokoma bitima ya mayi. Matiti, nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi mpe papirisi ekobota na bisika oyo mbwa ya zamba elalaka.
8 And there shall be a path and a road in that place. And it will be called the Holy Way. The defiled will not pass through it. For this will be an upright path for you, so much so that the foolish will not wander along it.
Nzela moko ya monene ekoleka wana, bakobenga yango Balabala ya Bosantu. Moto moko te ya mbindo akoleka wana, pamba te ebongisamaki kaka mpo na bato ya Yawe. Boye ata zoba akoki te kobunga na nzela yango.
9 There will be no lions in that place, and harmful wild animals will neither climb up to it, nor be found there. Only those who have been freed will walk in that place.
Nkosi ekozala te na nzela yango, ata nyama moko te ya mabe ekoleka na nzela yango, ekotikala komonana kuna te. Kasi basikolami kaka nde bakotambola na nzela yango.
10 And the redeemed of the Lord will be converted, and they will return to Zion with praising. And everlasting joy will be upon their heads. They will obtain gladness and rejoicing. For pain and sorrow will flee away.
Boye, bakangolami na Yawe bakozonga, bakokota na Siona na nzembo ya elonga, mpe esengo ya suka te ekozala na likolo ya mito na bango lokola mitole. Esengo mpe kosepela ekopesamela bango, nzokande mawa mpe kolela ekosila.
