Isaiah 14
1 For Jehovah will have mercy on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in rest in their own land; and the stranger shall be united to them, and they shall be joined to the house of Jacob.
Yawe akoyokela Jakobi mawa, akopona lisusu Isalaele mpe akopemisa bango na mokili na bango; bongo bapaya bakosangana na bango mpe bakobakisama na ndako ya Jakobi.
2 And the peoples shall take them and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of Jehovah for servants and handmaids; and they shall take them captive whose captives they were, and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Bato ya bikolo bakozwa bango mpe bakomema bango kino na esika na bango. Bongo, libota ya Isalaele ekokamata bango na mokili ya Yawe lokola basali ya mibali mpe ya basi. Bakokomisa bakangami bato oyo bakangaki bango mpe bakokonza bato oyo bakonzaki bango.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that Jehovah shall give thee rest from thy sorrow and from thy trouble and from the hard bondage wherein thou wast made to serve,
Na mokolo oyo Yawe akopesa yo bopemi na mosala na yo, na komitungisa na yo mpe na misala makasi oyo bapesaki yo,
4 that thou shalt take up this proverb against the king of Babylon, and say, How hath the oppressor ceased, — the exactress of gold ceased!
okoyemba nzembo oyo mpo na kotiola mokonzi ya Babiloni; okoloba: « Ndenge nini monyokoli akomi na suka? Ndenge nini penza lolendo na ye esili?
5 Jehovah hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers.
Yawe abuki fimbu ya moto mabe, lingenda ya bokonzi ya bakambi,
6 He that smote the peoples in wrath with a relentless stroke, he that ruled the nations in anger, is persecuted unsparingly.
oyo azalaki kokweyisa bato na kanda mpe kobeta bango na kolemba te, oyo azalaki kokonza bikolo na kanda makasi mpe konyokola bango na mawa te.
7 The whole earth is at rest, is quiet: they break forth into singing.
Mikili nyonso ezwi bopemi mpe kimia, ekomi koganga na esengo.
8 Even the cypresses rejoice at thee, the cedars of Lebanon, [saying, ] Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.
Banzete ya sipele ezali kosepela mpo na kokweya na yo, mpe banzete ya sedele ya Libani ezali koloba: ‹ Wuta tango okweyaki na se, moto moko te akweyisaka lisusu biso. ›
9 Sheol from beneath is moved for thee to meet [thee] at thy coming, stirring up the dead for thee, all the he-goats of the earth; making to rise from their thrones all the kings of the nations. (Sheol h7585)
Mokili ya bakufi, kuna na se, eningani na sango ya koya na yo, elamusi, mpo na koyamba yo, milimo ya bakufi, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki bakambi na mokili, etomboli bango, na bakiti na bango ya bokonzi, ba-oyo nyonso bazalaki bakonzi ya bikolo. (Sheol h7585)
10 All of them shall answer and say unto thee, Art thou also become powerless as we; art thou become like unto us!
Bango nyonso bakozwa maloba mpe bakoloba na yo: ‹ Yo mpe okomi moto ya bolembu lokola biso, okokani na biso! ›
11 — Thy pomp is brought down to Sheol, the noise of thy lyres: the maggot is spread under thee, and worms cover thee. (Sheol h7585)
Lokumu na yo nyonso ekiti kino na mokili ya bakufi, elongo na makelele ya mandanda na yo. Nkusu etondi na se na yo lokola mbeto, mpe mitsopi ezipi yo lokola elamba. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, Lucifer, son of the morning! Thou art cut down to the ground, that didst prostrate the nations!
Ndenge nini penza okweyi wuta na likolo, oh monzoto oyo engengaka na tongo, mwana mobali ya tongo makasi? Bakweyisi yo penza kino na mabele, yo moto oyo ozalaki kopanza bikolo!
13 And thou that didst say in thy heart, I will ascend into the heavens, I will exalt my throne above the stars of God, and I will sit upon the mount of assembly, in the recesses of the north;
Ozalaki komilobela kati na motema: ‹ Nakomata kino na Lola, nakotombola kiti na ngai ya bokonzi kino na likolo ya minzoto ya Nzambe mpe nakovanda na ngomba epai wapi banzambe basanganaka, na suka ya mokili ya ngambo ya nor;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds, I will be like the Most High:
nakomata kino na likolo ya mapata, nakomikomisa lokola Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo. ›
Kasi okiti nde na mokili ya bakufi, na se penza ya libulu. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that see thee shall narrowly look upon thee; they shall consider thee, [saying, ] Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that shook kingdoms;
Bato oyo bazali komona yo batie miso na bango epai na yo, bazali komituna: ‹ Boni, ezali penza ye oyo azalaki koningisa mokili mpe kolengisa bikolo?
17 [that] made the world as a wilderness, and overthrew the cities thereof; [that] dismissed not his prisoners homewards?
Moto oyo azalaki kokomisa mokili esobe, kokweyisa bingumba na yango mpe kotika te ete bakangami na ye bazonga epai na bango? ›
18 — All the kings of the nations, all of them, lie in glory, every one in his own house;
Bakonzi nyonso ya bikolo balalaka na lokumu, moko na moko kati na kunda na ye;
19 but thou art cast out of thy grave like an abominable branch, covered with the slain — those thrust through with the sword, that go down to the stones of the pit: like a carcase trodden under foot.
kasi yo obwakami mosika ya kunda na yo lokola kaka eloko moko ya nkele, kati na bibembe ya bato oyo baboma, bato oyo batobola bango na mopanga, bongo bakiti kino na libulu ya mabanga lokola bibembe oyo banyata na makolo.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial; for thou hast destroyed thy land, hast slain thy people. Of the seed of evildoers no mention shall be made for ever.
Okotikala kosangana na bango te kati na kunda, pamba te obebisaki mokili na yo mpe obomaki bato na yo. Bakotikala lisusu kotanga te bakombo ya bakitani ya bato mabe.
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children, because of the iniquity of their fathers; that they may not rise up and possess the earth, nor fill the face of the world with cities.
Bobongisa esika mpo na koboma bana na ye ya mibali likolo ya masumu ya batata na bango! Tika ete balamuka lisusu te mpo na kozwa mabele lokola libula mpe kotondisa mokili elongo na bingumba na bango.
22 For I will rise up against them, saith Jehovah of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and scion and descendant, saith Jehovah.
Nakotelemela bango, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, « nakolongola kombo ya Babiloni mpe nyonso oyo ekotikala, bana mpe bakitani na yango, elobi Yawe.
23 And I will make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith Jehovah of hosts.
Nakokomisa yango esika ya potopoto mpe lopango ya bampuku; mpe nakokombola yango na nzela ya ekombelo ya libebi, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
24 Jehovah of hosts hath sworn saying, Assuredly as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, it shall stand:
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alapi ndayi: « Solo, ndenge kaka nabongisi, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema; makambo oyo nazali na yango na makanisi, yango nde ekokokisama.
25 to break the Assyrian in my land; and upon my mountains will I tread him under foot; and his yoke shall depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulders.
Nakobebisa mokili ya Asiri kati na mokili na Ngai, nakonyata-nyata yango na likolo ya bangomba na Ngai; ekangiseli na bango ekolongwa epai ya bato na Ngai mpe mokumba na bango ekolongwa na mapeka na bango. »
26 This is the counsel which is purposed concerning the whole earth; and this is the hand which is stretched out upon all the nations.
Yango nde mokano oyo Yawe asili kozwa mpo na mokili mobimba, mpe yango nde loboko oyo asili kosembola mpo na kotelemela bikolo nyonso.
27 For Jehovah of hosts hath purposed, and who shall frustrate [it]? And his hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Pamba te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asili kozwa mokano; bongo nani akolongola yango? Loboko na Ye esili kosembolama; nani akozongisa yango?
28 In the year of the death of king Ahaz was this burden:
Maloba oyo eyaki na mobu oyo mokonzi Akazi akufaki:
29 Rejoice not thou, Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken; for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a viper, and his fruit shall be a fiery flying serpent.
« Bino bato nyonso ya Filisitia, bosepela te ete fimbu oyo ezalaki kobeta bino esili kobukana, pamba te etupa ebimaka na libumu ya nyoka, mpe dalagona oyo epumbwaka ebimaka na libumu ya nyoka mabe.
30 And the firstborn of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; but I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
Ye oyo aleki mobola nde akozwa eloko ya kolia, mpe moto oyo akelela nde akolala na kimia; kasi nakoboma bato na yo na nzala; mpe bato oyo bakobika, bakoboma bango.
31 Howl, O gate! cry, O city! thou, Philistia, art wholly dissolved; for there cometh from the north a smoke, and none remaineth apart in his gatherings [of troops].
Oh ekuke, lela makasi! Engumba, ganga makasi! Mokili mobimba ya Filisitia esili kozinda! Milinga makasi ezali kobima na ngambo ya nor, mpe moto moko te atikali na libanda ya molongo.
32 And what shall be answered to the messengers of the nation? That Jehovah hath founded Zion, and the afflicted of his people find refuge in it.
Eyano nini tokopesa penza epai ya bamemi sango ya ekolo oyo? Ezali ete Yawe asili kolendisa Siona mpo ete babola kati na bato na Ye basili kozwa ebombamelo ya malonga. »
