Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Maloba ya kosambisa Babiloni, oyo Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, azwaki na emoniseli:
2 Lift up a banner upon a bare mountain, raise the voice unto them, shake the hand, that they may enter the gates of the nobles.
Botombola bendele likolo ya ngomba oyo ezanga banzete, boganga epai na bango; bopepa bango loboko mpo ete bakota na bikuke ya bakambi.
3 I have commanded my hallowed ones, I have also called my mighty men for mine anger, them that rejoice in my highness.
Napesaki mitindo epai na bato oyo babulisama mpo na Ngai; nabengisaki lisusu bilombe na Ngai, bato oyo basepelaka na lokumu na Ngai, mpo na kosilisa kanda na Ngai.
4 The noise of a multitude on the mountains, as of a great people; a tumultuous noise of the kingdoms of nations assembled together: Jehovah of hosts mustereth the host of the battle.
Boyoka makelele likolo ya bangomba: ezali lokola makelele ya bato ebele! Boyoka lokito ya makelele ya bikolo: ezali lokola bikolo esangana esika moko! Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali kotala mampinga ya basoda oyo bazali pene ya kokende na etumba.
5 They come from a far country, from the end of the heavens — Jehovah, and the weapons of his indignation — to destroy the whole land.
Bawuti na mikili ya mosika, na suka ya likolo; Yawe elongo na bisalelo ya kanda na Ye; mpo na kobebisa mokili mobimba.
6 Howl, for the day of Jehovah is at hand; it cometh as destruction from the Almighty.
Bolela, pamba te mokolo na Yawe ekomi pene, ekoya lokola kobebisama oyo ewuti na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
7 Therefore shall all hands be feeble, and every heart of man shall melt,
Yango wana, maboko nyonso ekolemba mpe mitema ya bato nyonso ekobukana.
8 and they shall be terrified: pangs and sorrows shall take hold of them, they shall writhe as a woman that travaileth; they shall be amazed one at another, their faces shall be as flames.
Somo makasi ekokweyela bango, pasi mpe kobanga ekotika bango te; bakobunda-bunda lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota. Bango na bango bakotalana na kokamwa mpe bilongi na bango ekokoma lokola moto.
9 Behold, the day of Jehovah cometh, cruel both with wrath and fierce anger, to lay the earth desolate; and he will destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Tala, mokolo na Yawe ezali koya, ezali mokolo moko ya pasi, mokolo ya kotomboka mpe ya kanda makasi mpo na kobebisa mokili mpe koboma bato ya masumu kati na yango.
10 For the stars of the heavens and the constellations thereof shall not give their light; the sun shall be darkened in his going forth, and the moon shall not cause her light to shine.
Minzoto na likolo mpe minda nyonso oyo ezali pene na yango ekopesa lisusu pole na yango te: moyi ekokoma molili tango tongo ekotana, mpe sanza ekopesa lisusu pole na yango te.
11 And I will punish the world for evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will make the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will bring low the haughtiness of the violent.
Nakopesa etumbu na mokili mpo na mabe na yango, mpe bato mabe, mpo na masumu na bango. Nakosukisa lofundu ya bato ya lolendo mpe nakokitisa lolendo ya banyokoli.
12 I will make a man more precious than fine gold, even man than the gold of Ophir.
Nakosala ete bato bakoma ya koluka lokola wolo ya peto, lokola wolo ya mboka Ofiri.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens to shake, and the earth shall be removed out of her place, at the wrath of Jehovah of hosts, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Yango wana nakolengisa likolo, mpe mabele ekoningana na bisimbelo na yango na kanda makasi ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, na mokolo oyo akopelisa kanda na Ye.
14 And it shall be as with a chased roe, and as with a flock that no man gathereth together; every one shall turn to his own people, and every one flee into his own land.
Lokola mboloko oyo bazali kolanda, lokola bameme oyo ezanga mobateli, moko na moko akozonga epai ya bato na ye, moko na moko akokima kino na mboka ya bakoko na ye.
15 All that are found shall be thrust through; and every one that is in league [with them] shall fall by the sword.
Bakotobola na likonga moto nyonso oyo bakokanga. Bato nyonso oyo bakozwa, bakokufa na mopanga.
16 And their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes, their houses shall be rifled, and their women ravished.
Bakokata-kata bana na bango na biteni na miso na bango, bakobebisa bandako na bango mpe bakozwa basi na bango na makasi.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who do not regard silver, and as for gold, they have no delight in it.
Tala, nakotelemisa bato ya Medi ete batelemela bango, bato oyo palata elobelaka bango eloko moko te mpe basepelaka na bango na wolo te.
18 And [their] bows shall dash the young men to pieces, and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb: their eye shall not spare children.
Boye, tolotolo na bango ekoboma bilenge mibali mpe bakoyokela mbuma ya libumu mawa te: liso na bango ekotala bana na mawa te.
19 And Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans' pride, shall be as when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Nzambe akokweyisa Babiloni, kongenga ya babokonzi, nkembo ya lolendo ya bato ya Chalide, ndenge akweyisaki Sodome mpe Gomore.
20 It shall never be inhabited, neither shall it be dwelt in, even to generation and generation; nor shall Arabian pitch tent there, nor shepherds make fold there.
Bato bakotikala kovanda lisusu kuna te to ekozala lisusu na bato te na milongo nyonso; kuna, moto ya Arabi akopika te ndako na ye ya kapo, mpe babateli bibwele bakopemisa te banyama na bango.
21 But beasts of the desert shall lie there, and their houses shall be full of owls; and ostriches shall dwell there, and wild goats shall dance there.
Kasi bikelamu ya esobe nde ekokoma kolala kuna; bambwa ya zamba nde ekotondisa bandako na yango, ba-esulungutu ekotonda na bandako, maligbanga ekokoma kovanda kuna mpe bantaba ya zamba ekokoma kopumbwa-pumbwa kuna.
22 And jackals shall cry to one another in their palaces, and wild dogs in the pleasant castles. And her time is near to come, and her days shall not be prolonged.
Banyawu ya zamba ekotonda na bandako na bango ya makasi, mpe bambwa ya zamba ekotonda na bandako na bango ya kitoko. Tango na yango esili kobelema, mpe mikolo na yango ekopusana lisusu te.
