< Isaiah 35 >
1 The wilderness and the dry land shall be gladdened; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
Tika ete esobe mpe mabele ya kokawuka esepela! Tika ete esobe eyoka esengo mpe ebimisa fololo ya motane lokola roze!
2 It shall blossom abundantly and rejoice even with joy and shouting: the glory of Lebanon shall be given unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon. They shall see the glory of Jehovah, the excellency 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 weak hands and confirm the tottering knees.
Pesa makasi na maboko oyo elembi, lendisa mabolongo oyo ezali kolenga;
4 Say to them that are of a timid heart, Be strong, fear not; behold your God: vengeance cometh, the recompense of God! He will come himself, and 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 shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf be unstopped;
Boye, bakufi miso bakomona mpe bakufi matoyi bakoyoka.
6 then shall the lame [man] leap as a hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and torrents in the desert.
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 mirage shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of wild dogs, where they lay down, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
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 a highway shall be there and a way, and it shall be called, The way of holiness: the unclean shall not pass through it; but it shall be for these. Those that go [this] way — even fools, — shall not err [therein].
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 No lion shall be there, nor shall ravenous beast go up thereon, nor be found there; but the redeemed shall walk [there].
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 ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come to Zion with singing; and everlasting joy shall be upon their heads: they shall obtain gladness and joy, and sorrow and sighing shall 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.
