Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaias the son of Amos saw.
Maloba ya kosambisa Babiloni, oyo Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, azwaki na emoniseli:
2 Upon the dark mountain lift ye up a banner, exalt the voice, lift up the hand, and let the rulers go into the gates.
Botombola bendele likolo ya ngomba oyo ezanga banzete, boganga epai na bango; bopepa bango loboko mpo ete bakota na bikuke ya bakambi.
3 I have commanded my sanctified ones, and have called my strong ones in my wrath, them that rejoice in my glory.
Napesaki mitindo epai na bato oyo babulisama mpo na Ngai; nabengisaki lisusu bilombe na Ngai, bato oyo basepelaka na lokumu na Ngai, mpo na kosilisa kanda na Ngai.
4 The noise of a multitude in the mountains, as it were of many people, the noise of the sound of kings, of nations gathered together: the Lord of hosts hath given charge to the troops of war.
Boyoka makelele likolo ya bangomba: ezali lokola makelele ya bato ebele! Boyoka lokito ya makelele ya bikolo: ezali lokola bikolo esangana esika moko! Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali kotala mampinga ya basoda oyo bazali pene ya kokende na etumba.
5 To them that come from a country afar off, from the end of heaven: tile Lord and the instruments of his wrath, to destroy the whole land.
Bawuti na mikili ya mosika, na suka ya likolo; Yawe elongo na bisalelo ya kanda na Ye; mpo na kobebisa mokili mobimba.
6 Howl ye, for the day of the Lord is near: it shall come as a destruction from the Lord.
Bolela, pamba te mokolo na Yawe ekomi pene, ekoya lokola kobebisama oyo ewuti na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
7 Therefore shall all hands be faint, and every heart of man shall melt,
Yango wana, maboko nyonso ekolemba mpe mitema ya bato nyonso ekobukana.
8 And shall be broken. Gripings and pains shall take hold of them, they shall be in pain as a woman in labour. Every one shall be amazed at his neighbour, their countenances shall be as faces burnt.
Somo makasi ekokweyela bango, pasi mpe kobanga ekotika bango te; bakobunda-bunda lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota. Bango na bango bakotalana na kokamwa mpe bilongi na bango ekokoma lokola moto.
9 Behold, the day of the Lord shall come, a cruel day, and full of indignation, and of wrath, and fury, to lay the land desolate, and to destroy the sinners thereof out of it.
Tala, mokolo na Yawe ezali koya, ezali mokolo moko ya pasi, mokolo ya kotomboka mpe ya kanda makasi mpo na kobebisa mokili mpe koboma bato ya masumu kati na yango.
10 For the stars of heaven, and their brightness shall not display their light: the sun shall be darkened in his rising, and the moon shall not shine with her light.
Minzoto na likolo mpe minda nyonso oyo ezali pene na yango ekopesa lisusu pole na yango te: moyi ekokoma molili tango tongo ekotana, mpe sanza ekopesa lisusu pole na yango te.
11 And I will visit the evils of the world, and against the wicked for their iniquity: and I will make the pride of infidels to cease, and will bring down the arrogancy of the mighty.
Nakopesa etumbu na mokili mpo na mabe na yango, mpe bato mabe, mpo na masumu na bango. Nakosukisa lofundu ya bato ya lolendo mpe nakokitisa lolendo ya banyokoli.
12 A man shall be more precious than gold, yea a man than the finest of gold.
Nakosala ete bato bakoma ya koluka lokola wolo ya peto, lokola wolo ya mboka Ofiri.
13 For this I will trouble the heaven: and the earth shall be moved out of her place, for the indignation of the Lord of hosts, and for the day of his tierce wrath.
Yango wana nakolengisa likolo, mpe mabele ekoningana na bisimbelo na yango na kanda makasi ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, na mokolo oyo akopelisa kanda na Ye.
14 And they shall be as a doe fleeing away, and as a sheep: and there shall be none to gather them together: every man shall turn to his own people, and every one shall flee to his own land.
Lokola mboloko oyo bazali kolanda, lokola bameme oyo ezanga mobateli, moko na moko akozonga epai ya bato na ye, moko na moko akokima kino na mboka ya bakoko na ye.
15 Every one that shall be found, shall be slain: and every one that shall come to their aid, shall fall by the sword.
Bakotobola na likonga moto nyonso oyo bakokanga. Bato nyonso oyo bakozwa, bakokufa na mopanga.
16 Their infants shall be dashed in pieces before their eyes: their houses shall be pillaged, and their wives shall be ravished.
Bakokata-kata bana na bango na biteni na miso na bango, bakobebisa bandako na bango mpe bakozwa basi na bango na makasi.
17 Behold I will stir up the Medes against them, who shall not seek silver, nor desire gold:
Tala, nakotelemisa bato ya Medi ete batelemela bango, bato oyo palata elobelaka bango eloko moko te mpe basepelaka na bango na wolo te.
18 But with their arrows they shall kill the children, and shall have no pity upon the sucklings of the womb, and their eye shall not spare their sons.
Boye, tolotolo na bango ekoboma bilenge mibali mpe bakoyokela mbuma ya libumu mawa te: liso na bango ekotala bana na mawa te.
19 And that Babylon, glorious among kingdoms, the famous pride of the Chaldeans, shall be even as the Lord destroyed Sodom and Gomorrha.
Nzambe akokweyisa Babiloni, kongenga ya babokonzi, nkembo ya lolendo ya bato ya Chalide, ndenge akweyisaki Sodome mpe Gomore.
20 It shall no more be inhabited for ever, and it shall not be founded unto generation and generation: neither shall the Arabian pitch his tents there, nor shall shepherds rest there.
Bato bakotikala kovanda lisusu kuna te to ekozala lisusu na bato te na milongo nyonso; kuna, moto ya Arabi akopika te ndako na ye ya kapo, mpe babateli bibwele bakopemisa te banyama na bango.
21 But wild beasts shall rest there, and their houses shall be filled with serpents, and ostriches shall dwell there, and the hairy ones shall dance there:
Kasi bikelamu ya esobe nde ekokoma kolala kuna; bambwa ya zamba nde ekotondisa bandako na yango, ba-esulungutu ekotonda na bandako, maligbanga ekokoma kovanda kuna mpe bantaba ya zamba ekokoma kopumbwa-pumbwa kuna.
22 And owls shall answer one another there, in the houses thereof, and sirens in the temples of pleasure.
Banyawu ya zamba ekotonda na bandako na bango ya makasi, mpe bambwa ya zamba ekotonda na bandako na bango ya kitoko. Tango na yango esili kobelema, mpe mikolo na yango ekopusana lisusu te.
