< Isaiah 60 >

1 Arise, shine! for thy light is come, and the glory of Jehovah is risen upon thee.
« Telema mpe ngenga, pamba te pole na yo ezali koya, mpe nkembo na Yawe etelemi na likolo na yo.
2 For behold, darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the peoples; but Jehovah will arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen on thee.
Tala, molili ezipi mabele mpe molili makasi ezipi bato, kasi Yawe atelemi mpo na yo mpe nkembo na Ye emonani epai na yo.
3 And the nations shall walk by thy light, and kings by the brightness of thy rising.
Bikolo ekotambola na pole na yo, mpe bakonzi bakotambola na kongenga ya pole na yo.
4 Lift up thine eyes round about, and see: all they gather themselves together, they come to thee: thy sons come from afar, and thy daughters are carried upon the side.
Tombola miso zingazinga na yo mpe tala: Bango nyonso basangani mpe bazali koya epai na yo; bana na yo ya mibali bawuti mosika, mpe oyo ya basi, bamemi bango na maboko.
5 Then thou shalt see, and shalt be brightened, and thy heart shall throb, and be enlarged; for the abundance of the sea shall be turned unto thee, the wealth of the nations shall come unto thee.
Boye, okomona mpe okongenga, motema na yo ekobeta mpe ekosepela; bomengo ya ebale ekoya epai na yo, mpe bozwi ya bikolo ekoya epai na yo.
6 A multitude of camels shall cover thee, young camels of Midian and Ephah; all they from Sheba shall come: they shall bring gold and incense; and they shall publish the praises of Jehovah.
Bashamo ebele ekotondisa mokili na yo, bana ya shamo ya mokili ya Madiani mpe ya Efa. Yango nyonso ekowuta na Saba, ekomema wolo mpe malasi ya ansa, mpe ekotatola masanzoli na Yawe.
7 All the flocks of Kedar shall be gathered unto thee, the rams of Nebaioth shall serve thee: they shall come up with acceptance on mine altar, and I will beautify the house of my magnificence.
Bibwele nyonso ya Kedari ekosangana epai na yo, bameme ya mibali ya Nebayoti ekosalela yo; ekondimama lokola mbeka na likolo ya etumbelo na Ngai, mpe nakongengisa Tempelo na nzela ya nkembo na Ngai.
8 Who are these that come flying as a cloud, and as doves to their dove-cotes?
Banani oyo bazali kokima lokola mapata, lokola bibenga epai ya babokoli na yango?
9 For the isles shall await me, and the ships of Tarshish first, to bring thy sons from afar, their silver and their gold with them, unto the name of Jehovah thy God, and to the Holy One of Israel, for he hath glorified thee.
Solo, bisanga ekotalela Ngai; bamasuwa ya Tarsisi ekozala na liboso, ekomema bana na yo ya mibali longwa mosika, elongo na palata mpe wolo, mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, Mosantu ya Isalaele; pamba te apesi yo nkembo.
10 And the sons of the alien shall build up thy walls, and their kings shall minister unto thee. For in my wrath I smote thee, but in my favour have I had mercy on thee.
Bapaya bakotonga lisusu bamir na yo, mpe bakonzi na bango bakosalela yo. Ezala nabetaki yo na kanda na Ngai, kasi nakoyokela yo mawa na ngolu na Ngai.
11 And thy gates shall stand open continually: (they shall not be shut day nor night, ) that the wealth of the nations may be brought unto thee, and that their kings may be led [to thee].
Bikuke na yo ekozala tango nyonso efungwama, ekotikala kokangama te, ezala na moyi to na butu, mpo ete bato bamemela yo bozwi ya bikolo, bakonzi na yango na molongo lokola bato bakangami na etumba.
12 For the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee shall perish; and those nations shall be utterly wasted.
Pamba te ekolo to mboka oyo ekosalela yo te ekobebisama; solo, ekobebisama nye.
13 The glory of Lebanon shall come unto thee, the cypress, pine, and box-tree together, to beautify the place of my sanctuary; and I will make the place of my feet glorious.
Nkembo ya Libani ekoya epai na yo, banzete ya sipele, ya pini mpe ya bwisi ekoya elongo mpo na kobongisa Esika na Ngai ya bule; mpe nakopesa lokumu na esika na Ngai, oyo natiaka makolo na Ngai.
14 And the children of them that afflicted thee shall come bending unto thee; and all they that despised thee shall bow themselves down at the soles of thy feet; and they shall call thee The city of Jehovah, the Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Bana ya banyokoli na yo bakoya kofukama liboso na yo; bato nyonso oyo batiolaki yo bakofukama na se ya matambe na yo mpe bakobenga yo Engumba ya Yawe, Siona ya Mosantu ya Isalaele.
15 Instead of thy being forsaken and hated, so that no one went through [thee], I will make thee an eternal excellency, a joy from generation to generation.
Ata basundolaki yo mpe bayinaki yo, mpe moto moko te azalaki lisusu koleka epai na yo, nakopesa yo lokumu mpo na tango nyonso mpe esengo ya libela na libela.
16 And thou shalt suck the milk of the nations, and shalt suck the breast of kings; and thou shalt know that I, Jehovah, [am] thy Saviour and thy Redeemer, the Mighty One of Jacob.
Okomela miliki ya bikolo mpe okomela mabele ya bakonzi; boye okoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe, nazali Mobikisi na yo mpe Mosikoli na yo, Elombe ya Jakobi.
17 For bronze I will bring gold, and for iron I will bring silver, and for wood bronze, and for stones iron; and I will make thine officers peace, and thy rulers righteousness.
Na esika ya bronze, nakomemela yo wolo, mpe na esika ya bibende, nakomemela yo palata; na esika ya banzete, nakomemela yo bronze; mpe na esika ya mabanga, nakomemela yo bibende; nakokomisa Kimia moyangeli na yo, mpe Bosembo, mokambi na yo.
18 Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
Kati na mokili na yo, okoyoka lisusu te makelele ya mobulu to ya kopanza to ya kobebisama kati na etando na yo; kasi okobenga bamir na yo ‹ Lobiko, › mpe bikuke na yo ‹ Masanzoli. ›
19 The sun shall be no more thy light by day, neither for brightness shall the moon give light unto thee; but Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and thy God thy glory.
Pole ya moyi ekongengisa lisusu mokolo na yo te, to kongenga ya sanza ekongengisa yo lisusu te na butu; pamba te Yawe akozala pole na yo mpo na libela, mpe Nzambe na yo akozala nkembo na yo.
20 Thy sun shall no more go down, neither shall thy moon withdraw itself; for Jehovah shall be thine everlasting light, and the days of thy mourning shall be ended.
Moyi na yo ekolala lisusu te, mpe sanza na yo ekobunga lisusu te; pamba te Yawe akozala pole na yo mpo na libela, mpe mikolo na yo ya pasi ekosila.
21 Thy people also shall be all righteous: they shall possess the land for ever — the branch of my planting, the work of my hands, that I may be glorified.
Solo, bato na yo nyonso bakokoma bato ya sembo mpe bakozwa mokili lokola libula mpo na libela; bazali mwa nzete moke oyo nalonaki, mosala ya maboko na Ngai, mpo na komonisa nkembo na Ngai.
22 The little one shall become a thousand, and the smallest a mighty nation: I, Jehovah, will hasten it in its time.
Oyo aleki moke kati na bino akokoma nkoto moko, mpe oyo aleki moke penza akokoma ekolo ya makasi. Ngai, nazali Yawe, nakoyeisa yango mbangu na tango na yango. »
