Isaiah 31
1 Woe to them that go down to Egypt for help, and depend on horses, and confide in chariots because [they are] many, and in horsemen because they are very strong; and who look not unto the Holy One of Israel, neither seek Jehovah!
Mawa na bato oyo bazali kokende na Ejipito mpo na koluka lisungi, oyo bazali kotia mitema na bampunda, oyo bazali kotia elikya na bashar mpo ete ezali ebele, mpe na nguya ya basoda oyo batambolisaka yango, kasi batalelaka Mosantu ya Isalaele te mpe balukaka lisungi epai na Yawe te!
2 But he also is wise, and he bringeth evil, and recalleth not his words; and he will arise against the house of evildoers, and against the help of workers of iniquity.
Nzokande, Ye mpe azali na bwanya mpe akoki koyeisa pasi; abongolaka maloba na Ye te. Atelemelaka ndako ya bato mabe mpe bato oyo basungaka bango.
3 And the Egyptians are men, and not God, and their horses flesh, and not spirit; and Jehovah shall stretch forth his hand, and he that helpeth shall stumble, and he that is helped shall fall, and they all shall perish together.
Bato ya Ejipito bazali kaka bato, kasi bazali Nzambe te, bampunda na bango ezali kaka mosuni, kasi ezali molimo te. Tango Yawe akosembola loboko na Ye, ye oyo asungaka akobeta libaku, mpe ye oyo bazali kosunga akokweya; bongo, bango mibale bakobebisama.
4 For thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Like as the lion and the young lion growling over his prey, when a multitude of shepherds is called forth against him, is not afraid of their voice, nor giveth way before the multitude of them; so will Jehovah of hosts come down to war upon mount Zion, and on the hill thereof.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na ngai: « Ndenge nkosi to mwana nkosi egangaka liboso ya mosuni na yango, ata lisanga monene ya babateli bibwele basangani mpo na kotelemela yango, ezalaka na somo ya makelele na bango te mpe ezongaka sima te na mangungu na bango, ndenge wana mpe Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokita na ngomba Siona mpe na ngomba na yango ya moke mpo na kobunda.
5 As birds with outstretched wings, so will Jehovah of hosts cover Jerusalem; covering, he will also deliver, passing over, he will rescue [it].
Ndenge ndeke efungolaka mapapu na yango, ndenge wana mpe Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akobatela Yelusalemi, akobatela mpe akokangola, akobikisa yango na likama mpe akosunga yango. »
6 Turn unto him from whom ye have deeply revolted, ye children of Israel;
Oh bana ya Isalaele, bozonga epai na Ye oyo botombokeli makasi!
7 for in that day every man shall cast away his idols of silver and his idols of gold, which your sinful hands have made unto you.
Na mokolo wana, moko na moko kati na bino akobwaka banzambe na ye ya bikeko ya palata mpe ya wolo oyo bosalaki na maboko na bino ya masumu.
8 And Asshur shall fall by the sword, not of a great man; and the sword, not of a mean man, shall devour him: and he shall flee from the sword, and his young men shall become tributary;
« Mokili ya Asiri ekokweyisama na mopanga ya moto ya mokili oyo te, ekobebisama na mopanga ya moto te. Bato ya Asiri bakokima liboso ya mopanga, mpe basoda na bango ya bilenge bakokoma kosala misala ya makasi.
9 and for fear, he shall pass over to his rock, and his princes shall be afraid of the banner, saith Jehovah, whose fire is in Zion, and his furnace in Jerusalem.
Libanga na bango ya makasi ekolimwa na somo; mpe bakambi na bango bakolenga na somo na komona bendele ya etumba, » elobi Yawe oyo moto na Ye ezali kati na Siona mpe fulu ya moto na Ye ezali kati na Yelusalemi.
