Isaiah 63
1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with deep-red garments from Bozrah, this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? — I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save.
Azali nani, ye oyo awuti na Edomi, na Botsira, na bilamba ya motane? Azali nani, ye oyo alati bilamba ya lokumu, oyo azali kotambola lokola elombe, mpo ayebi ete azalaka makasi? « Ezali nde Ngai; nakataka makambo na bosembo, natonda na nguya mpo na kobikisa. »
2 — Wherefore is redness in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winevat?
Mpo na nini bilamba na yo ezali motane lokola bilamba ya mokamoli vino?
3 I have trodden the winepress alone, and of the peoples not a man was with me; and I have trodden them in mine anger, and trampled them in my fury; and their blood is sprinkled upon my garments, and I have stained all mine apparel.
« Nazalaki kaka ngai moko kati na ekamolelo mpo na kokamola vino, moko te kati na bato ya bikolo nyonso azalaki elongo na ngai. Nanyataki-nyataki bango na kanda na ngai mpe nakamolaki bango na kanda na ngai ya makasi; makila na bango epumbwelaki ngai na bilamba mpe ebebisaki bilamba na ngai nyonso.
4 For the day of vengeance was in my heart, and the year of my redeemed had come.
Pamba te, na motema na ngai, ezalaki nde mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, mpe mobu na ngai ya kosikola ekokaki.
5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: and mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me.
Natalaki, kasi namonaki moto te oyo akosunga; nakamwaki ete moto azalaki te mpo na kosunga ngai! Bongo, loboko na ngai moko ebikisaki ngai, mpe kanda na ngai ya makasi esungaki ngai.
6 And I have trodden down the peoples in mine anger, and made them drunk in my fury; and their blood have I brought down to the earth.
Nanyataki-nyataki bikolo na kanda na ngai, nalangwisaki bango na kanda na ngai ya makasi mpe nasopaki makila na bango na mabele. »
7 I will record the loving-kindnesses of Jehovah, the praises of Jehovah, according to all that Jehovah hath bestowed upon us, and the great goodness toward the house of Israel which he hath bestowed upon them according to his mercies, and according to the multitude of his loving-kindnesses.
Nakotatola boboto ya Yawe, nakosanzola Ye mpo na misala na Ye, kolanda nyonso oyo Yawe asalaki mpo na biso; solo, asalelaki libota ya Isalaele makambo ebele ya kitoko kolanda boboto mpe bolingo na Ye ya monene.
8 And he said, They are indeed my people, children that will not lie; and he became their Saviour.
Alobaki: « Solo, bazali bato na Ngai, bazali bana oyo bakosaka Ngai te! » Yango wana, Yawe akomaki Mobikisi na bango.
9 In all their affliction he was afflicted, and the Angel of his presence saved them: in his love and in his pity he redeemed them; and he bore them and carried them all the days of old.
Tango nyonso bazalaki na pasi, Ye mpe azalaki koyoka pasi na motema; boye, anjelu oyo atelemaka liboso na Ye abikisaki bango; asikolaki bango na bolingo mpe na mawa na Ye, akongolaki bango mpe azalaki komema bango mikolo nyonso ya tango ya kala.
10 But they rebelled and grieved his holy Spirit: and he turned to be their enemy; himself, he fought against them.
Nzokande, wana batombokelaki Ye mpe bayokisaki Molimo Mosantu na Ye mawa, abalukelaki bango mpe akomaki monguna na bango; mpe Ye moko akomaki kobundisa bango.
11 But he remembered the days of old, Moses [and] his people: Where is he that brought them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put his holy Spirit within him,
Boye, bato na Ye bakanisaki mikolo ya tango ya kala, mikolo ya tango ya Moyize: Wapi Ye oyo akatisaki bango ebale monene, elongo na mobateli bibwele ya etonga na Ye? Wapi Ye oyo atiaki kati na bango Molimo Mosantu na Ye?
12 his glorious arm leading them by the right hand of Moses, dividing the waters before them, to make himself an everlasting name,
Ye oyo atindaki ete loboko na Ye ya nkembo ezala elongo na loboko ya mobali ya Moyize, Ye oyo akabolaki mayi ya ebale monene liboso na bango mpo na kopesa Kombo na Ye lokumu mpo na libela;
13 — who led them through the depths, like a horse in the wilderness, [and] they stumbled not?
Ye oyo atambolisaki bango kati na mozindo? Lokola mpunda kati na esobe, babetaki libaku te;
14 As cattle go down into the valley, the Spirit of Jehovah gave them rest; so didst thou lead thy people, to make thyself a glorious name.
lokola bibwele oyo ezali kokita na lubwaku, Molimo na Yawe apesaki bango bopemi. Ezali ndenge wana nde okambaki bato na Yo mpo na kopesa lokumu na Kombo na Yo.
15 Look down from the heavens, and behold from the habitation of thy holiness and of thy glory! Where is thy zeal and thy strength, the sounding of thy bowels and of thy tender mercies? Are they restrained toward me?
Tala wuta na likolo mpe mona wuta na ndako na Yo ya bule mpe ya nkembo: Wapi bolingo na Yo, oyo eleka ndelo mpe nguya na Yo? Bolingo mpe mawa na Yo mpo na biso esili?
16 For thou art our Father, though Abraham be ignorant of us, and Israel acknowledge us not: thou, Jehovah, art our Father; our Redeemer, from everlasting, is thy name.
Nzokande, Yo nde ozali Tata na biso; atako Abrayami ayebi biso te to Isalaele andimi biso te; kasi Yo, Yawe, ozali Tata na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali: Mosikoli na biso ya tango nyonso.
17 Why, O Jehovah, hast thou made us to err from thy ways, hast hardened our heart from thy fear? Return for thy servants' sake, the tribes of thine inheritance.
Yawe, mpo na nini kotika biso koyengayenga mosika ya nzela na Yo? Mpo na nini kokomisa mitema na biso makasi mpo ete totosa Yo te? Zongisa motema sima mpo na bolamu ya basali na Yo, mabota ya libula na Yo!
18 Thy holy people have possessed [it] but a little while: our adversaries have trodden down thy sanctuary.
Bato na Yo bazwaki esika na Yo ya bule kaka mpo na mwa tango moke; kasi sik’oyo, banguna na biso bakweyisi Ndako na Yo ya bule!
19 We have become [like those] over whom thou never barest rule, those not called by thy name.
Wuta kala, tozalaka bato na Yo; kasi tokomi lokola bato oyo okambaka lisusu te, lokola bato oyo babengami na Kombo na Yo te.
