Isaiah 22
1 The burden of the valley of vision. What aileth thee now, that thou art wholly gone up to the housetops?
Maloba na Yawe na tina na lubwaku ya Emoniseli: Likambo nini lisusu ekomeli bino sik’oyo mpo ete bino nyonso bomata na likolo ya mitondo ya ndako?
2 Thou that wast full of stir, a town of tumult, a joyous city: thy slain men are not slain with the sword, nor dead in battle.
Oh engumba etonda na loyenge, engumba etonda na makelele mpe na bisengo! Bibembe na yo ekufi na mopanga te to mpe na bitumba te.
3 All thy rulers have fled together, they are taken prisoners without the bow: all that are found of thee are made prisoners together; they were fleeing far off.
Bakambi na yo nyonso bakimaki elongo; bakangaki bango na basoda na nguya ya tolotolo. Mpe bato na yo, oyo bazalaki kokima monguna na mosika, bakangaki bango mpe bakomaki elongo bakangami.
4 Therefore said I, Look away from me; let me weep bitterly: labour not to comfort me, because of the spoiling of the daughter of my people.
Yango wana nalobaki: « Botika kotala Ngai, botika ete nalela makasi! Bomeka kobondisa Ngai te mpo na kobebisama ya bato na Ngai! »
5 For it is a day of trouble, and of treading down, and of perplexity, from the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, in the valley of vision; [a day of] breaking down the wall, and of crying to the mountain:
Pamba te ezali mokolo moko ya lokito ya bitumba, mokolo ya pasi makasi mpe ya somo kati na lubwaku ya Emoniseli kowuta na Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; ezali mokolo oyo mir ya makasi ekobukana mpe makelele ya koganga ekobima na bangomba.
6 — Elam beareth the quiver with chariots of men [and] horsemen; and Kir uncovereth the shield.
Mampinga ya Elami batomboli makonga, mosusu bamati na bashar mpe bampunda; Kiri abimisi nguba.
7 And it shall come to pass [that] thy choicest valleys shall be full of chariots, and the horsemen shall set themselves in array at the gate.
Lubwaku na yo, oyo eleki kitoko etondi na bashar, mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda batelemi-telemi na bikuke ya engumba;
8 And he uncovereth the covering of Judah: and thou didst look in that day to the armour in the house of the forest;
bibombamelo ya Yuda etikali lisusu te. Na mokolo wana, obalolaki miso na yo na bibundeli oyo ezalaka na Ndako ya Zamba.
9 and ye have seen the breaches of the city of David, that they are many; and ye have gathered together the waters of the lower pool;
Bomonaki ete Engumba ya mokonzi Davidi ezali na madusu mingi kati na mir oyo ezingeli yango; boye bobombaki mayi kati na Liziba oyo ezalaka na se,
10 and ye have numbered the houses of Jerusalem, and have broken down the houses to fortify the wall;
botangaki motango ya bandako ya Yelusalemi, bobukaki mosusu mpo na kolendisa mir ya monene.
11 and ye have made a reservoir between the two walls for the water of the old pool: but ye have not had regard unto the maker thereof, neither have ye looked unto him that fashioned it long ago.
Bosalaki liziba mpo na kobomba mayi ya liziba ya kala kati na bamir mibale, kasi bobalolaki miso na bino te mpo na kotala Ye oyo asalaki mpe abongisaki yango wuta kala.
12 And in that day did the Lord Jehovah of hosts call to weeping, and to mourning, and to baldness, and to girding with sackcloth;
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azalaki kobenga bino na mokolo wana mpo ete bolela mpe bosala matanga, bomikokola suki mpe bolata saki.
13 and behold joy and rejoicing, slaying oxen, and killing sheep, eating flesh, and drinking wine: — Let us eat and drink, for to-morrow we die.
Kasi tala, ezalaki kaka bisengo mpe loyenge, koboma bangombe mpe bameme ya mibali, bantaba ya basi, kolia misuni mpe komela masanga ya vino! Bozalaki koloba: « Tika ete tolia mpe tomela, pamba te, lobi, tokokufa! »
14 And it was revealed in mine ears by Jehovah of hosts: Assuredly this iniquity shall not be purged from you till ye die, saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ayebisaki ngai yango na matoyi na ngai moko penza: « Kino bokokufa, bokotikala kozwa bolimbisi ya lisumu oyo te, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
15 Thus saith the Lord Jehovah of hosts: Go, get thee in unto this steward, unto Shebna, who is over the house, [and say, ]
Tala maloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Kende kokuta Shebina, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi, loba na ye:
16 What hast thou here? and whom hast thou here, that thou hast hewn thee out a sepulchre here, [as] he that heweth out his sepulchre on high, cutting out in the rock a habitation for himself?
‹ Ozali kosala nini awa, mpe nani apesi yo nzela ya kotonga kunda na yo awa lokola moto oyo azali kotimola kunda na ye na likolo mpe kotonga epemelo na ye kati na lidusu ya libanga monene?
17 Behold, Jehovah will hurl thee with the force of a mighty man, and will cover thee entirely.
Tala, Yawe akomi pene ya koningisa yo mpe kobwaka yo mosika, yo moto ya makasi!
18 Rolling thee up completely, he will roll thee as a ball into a wide country: there shalt thou die, and there shall be the chariots of thy glory, O shame of thy lord's house!
Akobalola yo ndenge babalolaka ndembo mpe akobwaka yo na etando moko ya monene. Kuna nde okokufa, mpe bashar na yo ya lokumu ekotikala, yo oyo osalaka soni ya ndako ya mokonzi na yo.
19 And I will drive thee from thine office, and from thy station will I pull thee down.
Nakolongola yo na mosala, mpe lokumu na yo ekosila.
20 And it shall come to pass in that day, that I will call my servant Eliakim the son of Hilkijah;
Na mokolo wana, nakobengisa mosali na Ngai, Eliakimi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia.
21 and I will clothe him with thy robe, and strengthen him with thy girdle, and I will commit thy government into his hand; and he shall be a father to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, and to the house of Judah.
Nakolatisa ye nzambala na yo, nakokanga ye mokaba na yo mpe nakopesa bokonzi na yo na maboko na ye. Akozala tata mpo na bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpe mpo na ndako ya Yuda.
22 And the key of the house of David will I lay upon his shoulder; and he shall open, and none shall shut; and he shall shut, and none shall open.
Nakotia fungola ya ndako ya Davidi na mapeka na ye: oyo akofungola, moto moko te akokanga yango; mpe oyo akokanga, moto moko te akofungola yango.
23 And I will fasten him [as] a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a throne of glory to his father's house:
Nakopika ye lokola sete na esika ya malamu; akozala lokola kiti ya bokonzi ya lokumu mpo na ndako ya tata na ye.
24 and they shall hang upon him all the glory of his father's house, the offspring and the issue, all the small vessels, as well the vessels of cups as all the vessels of flagons.
Nkembo nyonso ya ndako ya tata na ye ekozala likolo na ye: kobanda na bakitani na ye kino na bana na bango nyonso, lokola bisalelo oyo: kobanda na bakopo ya mike kino na mbeki ya minene.
25 In that day, saith Jehovah of hosts, shall the nail that is fastened in a sure place be removed, and be cut down, and fall; and the burden that was upon it shall be cut off: for Jehovah hath spoken.
Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, sete oyo bapikaki na esika ya malamu ekolongwa, ekobukana mpe ekokweya; mpe mokumba oyo amemaki ekokweya. › » Yawe nde alobaki.
