Isaiah 57
1 The righteous perisheth, and no man layeth it to heart; and merciful men are taken away, none considering that the righteous is taken away from before the evil.
Moto ya sembo azali kokufa, kasi ezali kosala ata moto moko te motema pasi; bato ya malamu bazali kosila, mpe ata moto moko te azali kososola ete bato ya sembo bazali kolongolama mpo ete bazala mosika na mabe.
2 He entereth into peace: they rest in their beds, [each one] that hath walked in his uprightness.
Bato oyo batambolaka na bosembo bakokota na kimia, bakozwa bopemi na bambeto na bango.
3 But draw near hither, ye sons of the sorceress, the seed of the adulterer and the harlot.
« Kasi bino, boya awa, bino bana ya mwasi ya soloka, bino bana oyo bobotami na nzela ya ekobo mpe ya kindumba.
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom do ye make a wide mouth, [and] draw out the tongue? Are ye not children of transgression, a seed of falsehood,
Bozali koseka nani? Bozali kofungolela nani monoko? Bozali kotiela nani penza monoko? Boni, bozali bana ya batomboki te, bozali libota ya lokuta te?
5 inflaming yourselves with idols under every green tree, slaying the children in the valleys under the clefts of the rocks?
Bozali kopela na posa mabe na se ya banzete minene oyo babengaka terebente, na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu; bozali kobonza bana na bino ya mibali lokola bambeka kati na lubwaku mpe kati na mabulu ya mabanga.
6 Among the smooth [stones] of the torrent is thy portion; they, they are thy lot: even to them hast thou poured out a drink-offering, thou hast offered an oblation. Shall I be comforted myself as to these things?
Libula na yo ezali nde banzambe ya bikeko kati na mabanga ya lubwaku, oyo babongisa; solo, yango nde ezali libula na yo. Solo penza, ezali epai na yango nde ozali kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino mpe kobonza makabo ya bambuma. Boni, nasepela solo na makambo ya boye?
7 Upon a lofty and high mountain hast thou set thy bed: even thither didst thou go up to offer sacrifice.
Otiaki mbeto na yo na likolo, na songe ya ngomba; kuna nde ozalaki komata mpo na kobonza mbeka.
8 Behind the doors also and the posts hast thou set up thy remembrance: for apart from me, thou hast uncovered thyself, and art gone up; thou hast enlarged thy bed, and hast made agreement with them; thou lovedst their bed, thou sawest their nakedness.
Otiaki nzambe na yo ya ekeko na sima ya ekuke na yo mpe ya mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke yango. Osundoli ngai, olongoli bilamba na yo, omati likolo ya mbeto na yo; osali boyokani elongo na bato oyo olingaka kosangisa na bango nzoto mpe oluki komona bolumbu na bango.
9 And thou wentest to the king with ointment, and didst multiply thy perfumes, and didst send thy messengers afar off, and didst debase thyself unto Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Okendeki epai ya Moloki na mafuta ya olive mpe obakisaki lisusu malasi na yo. Otindaki bantoma na yo mosika, omikitisaki na se penza kino na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
10 Thou wast wearied by the multitude of thy ways; [but] thou saidst not, It is of no avail. Thou didst find a quickening of thy strength; therefore thou wast not sick [of it].
Nzela na yo nyonso elembisaki yo nzoto, kasi omilobelaki te: ‹ Ezali na tina te! › Loboko na yo ezwaki lisusu makasi ya sika, yango wana olembaki te.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid or feared, that thou hast lied, and hast not remembered me, nor taken it to heart? Have not I even of long time held my peace, and thou fearest me not?
Ozalaki na somo ya nani to ozalaki kobanga nani mpo ete okosa Ngai to obosana Ngai, to mpe obimisa Ngai na motema na yo? Boni, ezali te mpo ete navandaki kimia tango molayi nde ozali kobanga Ngai te?
12 I will declare thy righteousness, and thy works; and they shall not profit thee.
Nakobimisa bosembo mpe misala na yo na pwasa, mpe ekozala na litomba ata moko te mpo na yo.
13 When thou criest, let them that are gathered by thee deliver thee! But a wind shall carry them all away, a breath shall take them; but he that putteth his trust in me shall inherit the land, and possess my holy mountain.
Tika ete mopiku ya banzambe na yo ya bikeko ebikisa yo tango okoluka lisungi! Mopepe makasi ekomema yango nyonso, mopepe moko ekopikola yango. Kasi moto oyo akomisaka Ngai ebombamelo na ye akozwa lokola libula mokili mpe ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
14 And it shall be said, Cast up, cast up, prepare the way, take up the stumbling-blocks out of the way of my people.
Bakoloba: « Botondisa mabele, botondisa mabele, bobongisa nzela, bolongola mabaku na nzela ya bato na Ngai! »
15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, and whose name is Holy: I dwell in the high and holy [place], and with him that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Ye oyo akowumela seko na seko mpe azali bule, alobi: « Navandaka na esika oyo eleki likolo mpe ya bule; kasi navandaka mpe elongo na moto oyo azali na pasi mpe oyo molimo na ye ebukani, mpo na kolendisa lisusu molimo oyo etutami mpe motema oyo ebukani.
16 For I will not contend for ever, neither will I be always wroth; for the spirit would fail before me, and the souls [which] I have made.
Nakosambisa mpo na libela te mpe nakozala na kanda tango nyonso te, noki te molimo ya moto nyonso oyo nasala ekokufa na miso na Ngai.
17 For the iniquity of his covetousness was I wroth, and smote him; I hid me, and was wroth, and he went on backslidingly in the way of his heart.
Natombokaki likolo ya posa na ye ya kozwa bomengo na nzela ya moyibi; napesaki ye etumbu, nabombaki elongi na Ngai na kanda, kasi apengwaki kaka mpo na kolanda posa mabe ya motema na ye.
18 I have seen his ways, and will heal him; and I will lead him, and will restore comforts unto him and to those of his that mourn.
Namonaki banzela na ye, kasi nakobikisa ye; nakotambolisa ye mpe nakobondisa ye.
19 I create the fruit of the lips: peace, peace to him [that is] afar off, and to him [that is] nigh, saith Jehovah; and I will heal him.
Nakotia masanzoli na bibebu ya bato oyo bazali kolela na Isalaele. Kimia, kimia ezala epai na ye oyo azali mosika, mpe epai na ye oyo azali pene, » elobi Yawe. « Mpe nakobikisa bango. »
20 But the wicked are like the troubled sea, which cannot rest, and whose waters cast up mire and dirt.
Kasi bato mabe bazali lokola ebale oyo etomboki, oyo evandaka kimia te: mayi na yango ebwakaka potopoto mpe bosoto libanda.
21 There is no peace, saith my God, to the wicked.
Nzambe na ngai alobi: « Kimia ezali te mpo na bato mabe. »
