< Isaiah 66 >
1 Thus saith Jehovah: The heavens are my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what is the house that ye will build unto me? and what is the place of my rest?
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ezali Kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi, mpe mabele ezali enyatelo makolo na Ngai. Ndako ya ndenge nini penza bokoki kotongela Ngai? Esika ya bopemi ya ndenge nini penza bokoki kobongisela Ngai?
2 Even all these things hath my hand made, and all these things have been, saith Jehovah. But to this man will I look: to the afflicted and contrite in spirit, and who trembleth at my word.
Boni, loboko na Ngai te nde esalaki biloko oyo nyonso, mpe yango te nde ezalisaki yango nyonso? » elobi Yawe. « Tala moto oyo Ngai nakotala: moto ya mawa, oyo molimo na ye etutami, mpe oyo alengaka liboso ya liloba na Ngai.
3 He that slaughtereth an ox, smiteth a man; he that sacrificeth a lamb, breaketh a dog's neck; he that offereth an oblation, [it is as] swine's blood; he that presenteth a memorial of incense, [is as] he that blesseth an idol. As they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delighteth in their abominations,
Moto oyo atumbi mbeka ya ngombe azali lokola ye oyo abomi moto, moto oyo atumbi mbeka ya mwana meme azali lokola ye oyo abuki kingo ya mbwa, moto oyo apesi makabo ya mbuma azali lokola ye oyo abonzi makila ya ngulu, moto oyo atumbi ekaniseli ya malasi ya ansa azali lokola ye oyo apamboli nzambe ya ekeko. Solo, baponi kolanda banzela na bango moko mpe kosepela na makambo na bango ya nkele.
4 I also will choose their calamities, and will bring their fears upon them; because I called, and none answered, I spoke, and they did not hear, but did that which was evil in mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delight not.
Boye, Ngai mpe nakotindela bango pasi mpe nakotindela bango pasi oyo babangaka. Pamba te tango nabelelaki, moto moko te ayanolaki; tango nalobaki, moto moko te ayokaki; kasi basalaki makambo mabe na miso na Ngai mpe baponaki makambo oyo esepelisaka Ngai te. »
5 Hear the word of Jehovah, ye that tremble at his word: Your brethren that hated you, that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let Jehovah be glorified, and let us see your joy! but they shall be ashamed.
Boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bato oyo bolengaka liboso ya liloba na Ye: « Bandeko na bino oyo bayina bino mpe baboya bino likolo ya Kombo na Ngai balobi: ‹ Tika ete Yawe amonisa nkembo na Ye mpo ete tokoka komona esengo na bino! › Kasi bango nde bakosambwa solo.
6 A voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of Jehovah that rendereth recompence to his enemies!
Boyoka makelele kobima longwa na engumba, boyoka makelele kobima longwa na Tempelo! Ezali nde mongongo na Yawe oyo azali kofuta banguna na Ye kolanda oyo ekoki na misala na bango.
7 Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man-child.
Liboso ete ayoka pasi ya kobota, abotaki; liboso ete pasi ya kobota ekomela ye, abotaki mwana mobali.
8 Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Can a land be made to bring forth in one day? shall a nation be born at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her sons.
Nani ayoka likambo ya boye? Nani amona makambo ya boye? Boni, mokili ekoki kobotama na mokolo moko to ekolo ekoki solo kosalema na mbala moko? Nzokande, kaka tango Siona ayoki pasi ya kobota, tala ye wana asili kobota bana na ye.
9 Shall I bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth? saith Jehovah; I who cause to bring forth, shall I shut [the womb]? saith thy God.
Nakoki solo koyeisa pasi ya kobota mpe kozanga makoki ya kobotisa? » Elobi Yawe. « Nakoki solo kokanga mabota soki nazali kopesa mabota? » elobi Nzambe na yo.
10 Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all ye that love her; rejoice for joy with her, all ye that mourn over her:
« Bosepela elongo na Yelusalemi mpe botonda na esengo mpo na ye, bino nyonso oyo bolingaka ye; bosepela makasi elongo na ye, bino nyonso oyo bosalelaki ye matanga.
11 because ye shall suck, and be satisfied with the breasts of her consolations; because ye shall drink out, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory.
Pamba te bokomela miliki mpe bokotonda mabele na ye, oyo ebondisaka; bokomela penza ndenge esengeli mpe bokozwa esengo kati na bomengo na ye. »
12 For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing torrent; and ye shall suck, ye shall be carried upon the side, and be dandled upon the knees.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakosopela ye kimia lokola ebale, mpe bozwi ya bikolo lokola ebale na tango ya mpela; bokobatelama, bokomemama na maboko na ye mpe akobondela bino na mabolongo na ye.
13 As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Ndenge mama abondelaka mwana na ye, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nakobondela bino; mpe bokobondisama mpo na Yelusalemi. »
14 And ye shall see [this], and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the grass; and the hand of Jehovah shall be known toward his servants, and he will have indignation toward his enemies.
Tango bokomona yango, mitema na bino ekosepela mpe mikuwa na bino ekozwa makasi ya sika lokola matiti ya mobesu; loboko na Yawe ekoyebana kati na bawumbu na Ye mpe kanda na Ye ekokitela banguna na Ye.
15 For behold, Jehovah will come with fire, and his chariots like a whirlwind, to render his anger with fury, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
Tala, Yawe azali koya na moto, mpe bashar na Ye ezali lokola mopepe ya kayina; akokitisa kanda na Ye na somo penza mpe akopamela na nzela ya moto.
16 For by fire and by his sword will Jehovah enter into judgment with all flesh: and the slain of Jehovah shall be many.
Yawe akosambisa bato nyonso na nzela ya moto mpe ya mopanga; bongo, bato ebele bakokufa na mopanga, na maboko na Yawe.
17 They that sanctify themselves, and purify themselves in the gardens behind one in the midst; that eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, shall perish together, saith Jehovah.
« Bato oyo bamibulisaka mpe bamipetolaka mpo na kokende na bilanga mpe kolanda moto moko oyo azali na kati-kati ya bato oyo baliaka misuni ya bangulu, ya bampuku mpe biloko mosusu ya mbindo, bakokufa bango nyonso elongo, » elobi Yawe.
18 And I, — their works and their thoughts [are before me]. ...[The time] cometh for the gathering of all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
« Mpe Ngai, likolo ya misala mpe makanisi na bango, nakomi pene ya kosangisa bato ya bikolo mpe nkota nyonso; bongo bakoya mpo na komona nkembo na Ngai.
19 And I will set a sign among them, and I will send those that escape of them unto the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, that draw the bow; to Tubal and Javan, to the isles afar off, that have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory: and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
Nakotia elembo kati na bango mpe nakotinda, wuta na bikolo, ndambo ya bato oyo bakobika: na Tarsisi, na Puli mpe na Ludi (bato oyo bayebi kosalela tolotolo malamu), na Tubali mpe na Yavani, na bisanga oyo ezalaka mosika, oyo etikala nanu koyoka sango na Ngai te mpe komona nkembo na Ngai te. Bakotatola nkembo na Ngai kati na bikolo.
20 And they shall bring all your brethren out of all the nations as an oblation unto Jehovah, upon horses, and in chariots, and in covered waggons, and upon mules, and upon dromedaries, to my holy mountain, to Jerusalem, saith Jehovah, as the children of Israel bring an oblation in a clean vessel into the house of Jehovah.
Bakomema bandeko na bino nyonso wuta na bikolo nyonso, lokola likabo epai na Yawe, na ngomba na Ngai ya bule, na Yelusalemi, na likolo ya bampunda, ya bashar mpe ya bashareti oyo ekangama, ya mikongo ya bamile mpe ya bashamo, » elobi Yawe. « Bakomema bango ndenge bana ya Isalaele bamemaka makabo na bango ya bambuma, kati na basani ya bule, na Tempelo ya Yawe.
21 And I will also take of them for priests [and] for Levites, saith Jehovah.
Mpe nakopona kati na bango, ndambo ya bato mpo ete bazala Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, » elobi Yawe.
22 For as the new heavens and the new earth which I will make shall remain before me, saith Jehovah, so shall your seed and your name remain.
« Ndenge likolo mpe mabele ya sika oyo nasili kosala ekowumela liboso na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « ndenge wana mpe bakitani na bino mpe kombo na bino ekowumela.
23 And it shall come to pass from new moon to new moon, and from sabbath to sabbath, all flesh shall come to worship before me, saith Jehovah.
Bato ya mokili mobimba bakoya kofukama liboso na Ngai, longwa na feti moko ya ebandeli ya sanza kino na feti mosusu, longwa na Saba moko kino na mosusu, » elobi Yawe,
24 And they shall go forth, and look upon the carcases of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they shall be an abhorrence unto all flesh.
« bakobima mpe bakomona bibembe ya bato oyo batombokelaki Ngai, pamba te bankusu na bango ekokufa te mpe moto na bango ekokufa te; bakopesa moto nyonso somo. »
