Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel, to Ariel the city which David took: year is added to year: the solemnities are at an end.
Mawa na yo, Arieli, Arieli, engumba oyo Davidi azalaki kovanda! Bobakisa mibu na mibu mpe botika ete bafeti na bino ekoba kolandana ndenge ezalaka.
2 And I will make a trench about Ariel, and it shall be in sorrow and mourning, and it shall be to me as Ariel.
Kasi nakonyokola Arieli; ekokoma na mawa mpe na kolela; ekokoma na miso na Ngai lokola etumbelo.
3 And I will make a circle round about thee, and will cast up a rampart against thee, and raise up bulwarks to besiege thee.
Nakozingela yo mpo na kobundisa yo, nakozingela yo na mir ya molayi mpe nakotiela yo mampinga ya nguya mpo na kotelemela yo.
4 Thou shalt be brought down, thou shalt speak out of the earth, and thy speech shall be heard out of the ground: and thy voice shall be from the earth like that of the python, and out of the ground thy speech shall mutter.
Okokitisama solo na se, okoloba wuta na mabele, mpe maloba na yo ekobanda kobima na mongongo ya se wuta na putulu. Mongongo na yo ekokoma kobima wuta na se ya mabele lokola mongongo ya moto oyo asololaka na milimo ya bakufi; mpe wuta na putulu, maloba na yo ekobima na mongongo ya se.
5 And the multitude of them that fan thee, shall be like small dust: and as ashes passing away, the multitude of them that have prevailed against thee.
Bongo ebele ya banguna na yo bakokoma lokola putulu, mpe ebele ya banyokoli na yo bakokoma lokola matiti ekawuka oyo ezali kopumbwa na mopepe; ekosalema bongo na pwasa.
6 And it shall be at an instant suddenly. A visitation shall come from the Lord of hosts in thunder, and with earthquake, and with a great noise of whirlwind and tempest, and with the flame of devouring fire.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akoya epai na yo na nzela ya bakake, ya koningana ya mabele mpe ya lokito monene, ya mopepe makasi mpe ya mvula ya moto oyo etumbaka.
7 And the multitude of all nations that have fought against Ariel, shall be as the dream of a vision by night, and all that have fought, and besieged and prevailed against it.
Ekozala lokola ndoto to emoniseli ya butu mpo na ebele ya bikolo oyo bakobundisa Arieli, oyo bakotelemela ye elongo na bandako na ye ya makasi mpe bakozingela ye.
8 And as he that is hungry dreameth, and eateth, but when he is awake, his soul is empty: and as he that is thirsty dreameth, and drinketh, and after he is awake, is yet faint with thirst, and his soul is empty: so shall be the multitude of all the Gentiles, that have fought against mount Sion.
Ekozala lokola moto oyo azali na nzala, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali kolia, kasi tango alamuki, libumu na ye ezali kaka pamba lokola moto oyo azali na posa ya mayi, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali komela mayi, kasi tango alamuki na nzoto ya kolemba, posa na ye ya mayi esili kaka te. Ekozala nde bongo mpo na mampinga ya bikolo nyonso oyo bakobundisa ngomba Siona.
9 Be astonished, and wander, waver, and stagger: be drunk, and not with wine: stagger, and not with drunkenness.
Bozanga maloba mpe bokamwa! Bomiboma miso mpe botikala bakufi miso! Bolangwa masanga, kasi na vino te! Botenga-tenga, kasi na masanga ya makasi te!
10 For the Lord hath mingled for you the spirit of a deep sleep, he will shut up your eyes, he will cover your prophets and princes, that see visions.
Yawe asopeli bino molimo ya pongi makasi; akangi bino miso, bino basakoli, azipi bino mito, bino bato oyo bomonaka makambo.
11 And the vision of all shall be unto you as the words of a book that is sealed, which when they shall deliver to one that is learned, they shall say: Read this: and he shall answer: I cannot, for it is sealed.
Mpo na bino, emoniseli nyonso oyo ekomi lokola maloba ya buku oyo bakanga mpe bapesi epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga, bongo balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nakokoka te, pamba te buku ekangama. »
12 And the book shall be given to one that knoweth no letters, and it shall be said to him: Read: and he shall answer: I know no letters.
To bapesi yango epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga te, mpe balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nayebi kotanga te. »
13 And the Lord said: Forasmuch as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips glorify me, but their heart is far from me, and they have feared me with the commandment and doctrines of men:
Nkolo alobi: « Bato oyo bapusanaka pene na Ngai kaka na monoko, bapesaka Ngai lokumu kaka na bibebu, kasi mitema na bango ezalaka mosika na Ngai; mpe botosi oyo bazalaka na yango epai na Ngai ezali kaka mobeko ya bomoto, oyo bateyaki bango.
14 Therefore behold I will proceed to cause an admiration in this people, by a great and wonderful miracle: for wisdom shall perish from their wise men, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
Yango wana, nakokoba kokamwisa bato oyo; ekozala nde bikamwa likolo ya bikamwa kino bwanya ya bato ya bwanya ekobunga, mpe mayele ya bato ya mayele ekosuka. »
15 Woe to you that are deep of heart, to hide your counsel from the Lord: and their works are in the dark, and they say: Who seeth us, and who knoweth us?
Mawa na bato oyo basalaka makambo na nkuku mpo na kobombela Yawe mabongisi na bango; bato oyo basalaka misala na bango na molili mpe balobaka: « Nani akoki komona biso? Nani akoyeba? »
16 This thought of yours is perverse: as if the clay should think against the potter, and the work should say to the maker thereof: Thou madest me not: or the thing framed should say to him that fashioned it: Thou understandest not.
Bozali nde kobongola makambo! Ezali lokola bozali kozwa mosali mbeki ndenge moko na mabele oyo basalelaka mbeki. Boni, eloko ekoki solo koloba na mosali na yango: « Asalaki ngai te? » Mbeki ekoki solo koloba na mosali mbeki: « Ozali mayele te? »
17 Is it not yet a very little while, and Libanus shall be turned into charmel, and charmel shall be esteemed as a forest?
Etikali kaka tango moke, Libani ekobongwana elanga ya kitoko, mpe elanga ya kitoko ekomonana lokola zamba.
18 And in that day the deaf shall hear the words of the book, and out of darkness and obscurity the eyes of the blind shall see.
Na mokolo wana, bakufi matoyi bakoyoka maloba ya buku, mpe bakufi miso bakomona tango bakobima na butu mpe na molili.
19 And the meek shall increase their joy in the Lord, and the poor men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Bato bakelela bakosepela makasi kati na Yawe, babola bakozala na esengo kati na Mosantu ya Isalaele.
20 For he that did prevail hath failed, the scorner is consumed, and they are all cut off that watched for iniquity:
Banyokoli bakotikala lisusu te, batioli bakozala lisusu te mpe bato oyo balukaka pasi ya baninga bakokufa:
21 That made men sin by word, and supplanted him that reproved them in the gate, and declined in vain from the just.
elongo na bato oyo bakweyisaka bato kati na kosamba mpo na liloba moko, elongo na bato oyo batielaka basambisi mitambo mpe bapesaka matatoli ya lokuta, na kosambisama, mpo na kokweyisa moto ya sembo.
22 Therefore thus saith the Lord to the house of Jacob, he that redeemed Abraham: Jacob shall not now be confounded, neither shall his countenance now be ashamed:
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mosikoli ya Abrayami, alobi na libota ya Jakobi: « Jakobi akozala lisusu na soni te, elongi na ye ekozala lisusu ya kokawuka te.
23 But when he shall see his children, the work of my hands in the midst of him sanctifying my name, and they shall sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall glorify the God of Israel:
Tango akomona kati na bango bana na ye, mosala ya maboko na Ngai, bakopesa lokumu na bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe bakososola bosantu ya Mosantu ya Jakobi. Boye, bakozala na somo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele.
24 And they that erred in spirit, shall know understanding, and they that murmured, shall learn the law.
Bato oyo bazali koyengayenga na molimo bakozwa mayele, mpe bato ya mito makasi bakondima koyekola mateya ya sika. »
