< Isaiah 2 >
1 The word that Isaias the son of Amos saw, concerning Juda and Jerusalem.
Tala makambo oyo Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, amonaki na tina na Yuda mpe Yelusalemi:
2 And in the last days the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be prepared on the top of mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow unto it.
Na mikolo oyo ekoya, ngomba ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekolendisama ngwi na songe ya bangomba, ekoleka bangomba mikuse nyonso na molayi, mpe bikolo nyonso ekokende kotondana kuna.
3 And many people shall go, and say: Come and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall come forth from Sion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
Bato ya bikolo ebele bakokende kuna mpe bakoloba: « Boya, tomata na ngomba ya Yawe, na Tempelo ya Nzambe ya Jakobi. Akoteya biso banzela na Ye mpo ete tolanda banzela mike na Ye. » Pamba te Mobeko ekowuta na Siona, mpe Liloba na Yawe ekowuta na Yelusalemi.
4 And he shall judge the Gentiles, and rebuke many people: and they shall turn their swords into ploughshares, and their spears into sickles: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they be exercised any more to war.
Akozala Mosambisi kati na bikolo, akokata makambo ya kowelana kati na bato ebele. Bakotumba mipanga na bango na moto mpo na kosala bakongo, mpe makonga na bango mpo na kosala bambeli. Ekolo moko te ekotombola lisusu mopanga mpo na kobundisa ekolo mosusu; bato bakoyekola lisusu te kobunda bitumba.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the Lord.
Oh ndako ya Jakobi, yaka, tika ete totambola na pole ya Yawe!
6 For thou hast cast off thy people, the house of Jacob: because they are filled as in times past, and have had soothsayers as the Philistines, and have adhered to strange children.
Solo, osundolaki bato na Yo, libota ya Jakobi, mpo ete batondisami na bizaleli ya soloka oyo ewuti na Este; bazali kosalela maji lokola bato ya Filisitia, bazali kosala boyokani elongo na bapagano.
7 Their land is filled with silver and gold: and there is no end of their treasures.
Mokili na bango etondi na palata mpe wolo, bomengo na bango ezali na suka te. Mokili na bango etondi na bampunda mpe bakoki ata moke te kotanga bashar na bango ya bitumba.
8 And their land is filled with horses: and their chariots are innumerable. Their land also is full of idols: they have adored the work of their own hands, which their own fingers have made.
Mokili na bango etondi na banzambe ya bikeko, bato bakomi kofukamela biloko oyo esalemi na maboko na bango, oyo misapi na bango esili kosala.
9 And man hath bowed himself down, and man hath been debased: therefore forgive them not.
Yango wana, bato bakokitisa mito, mpe bato ya lokumu bakotonda na soni; kolimbisa bango te!
10 Enter thou into the rock, and hide thee in the pit from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty.
Kimela na madusu ya mabanga, bombama na putulu ya mabele liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye!
11 The lofty eyes of man are humbled, and the haughtiness of men shall be made to stoop: and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
Na mokolo wana, moto ya lolendo akokitisa elongi, bato ya lofundu bakokitisama; Yawe kaka nde akonetolama.
12 Because the day of the Lord of hosts shall be upon every one that is proud and highminded, and upon every one that is arrogant, and he shall be humbled.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abongisa mokolo moko mpo na kokitisa bato nyonso ya lolendo mpe ya lofundu, bato nyonso oyo bamimatisaka,
13 And upon all the tall and lofty cedars of Libanus, and upon all the oaks of Basan.
banzete nyonso ya sedele ya Libani, oyo eleki na molayi mpe na kotombwama, mpe banzete nyonso ya sheni ya Bashani;
14 And upon all the high mountains, and upon all the elevated hills.
bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe bangomba nyonso ya mikuse,
15 And upon every high tower, and every fenced wall.
bandako nyonso ya milayi, bamir nyonso ya milayi oyo batonga makasi;
16 And upon all the ships of Tharsis, and upon all that is fair to behold.
bamasuwa nyonso ya Tarsisi mpe bomengo na yango nyonso ya kitoko.
17 And the loftiness of men shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be humbled, and the Lord alone shall be exalted in that day.
Lolendo ya moto ekosila mpe lofundu ya bato ekosuka; Yawe kaka nde akonetolama na mokolo wana.
18 And idols shall be utterly destroyed.
Banzambe nyonso ya bikeko bakobebisama nye.
19 And they shall go into the holes of rocks, and into the caves of the earth from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
Bato bakokimela na madusu ya mabanga mpe na putulu ya mabele liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye, tango akotelema mpo na koningisa mokili.
20 In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which he had made for himself to adore, moles and bats.
Na mokolo wana, bato bakobwaka epai ya bampuku mpe bangembo banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya palata mpe banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya wolo, oyo basalaki mpo ete bafukamela bango.
21 And he shall go into the clefts of rocks, and into the holes of stones from the face of the fear of the Lord, and from the glory of his majesty, when he shall rise up to strike the earth.
Bakokima na madusu ya mabanga mpe kati na mabanga liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye, tango akotelema mpo na koningisa mokili.
22 Cease ye therefore from the man, whose breath is in his nostrils, for he is reputed high.
Botika kotia elikya na moto oyo bomoi na ye ezali lokola pema kati na zolo na ye. Motuya nini azali na yango?
