Isaiah 18
1 Oh, the lande shadowing with winges, which is beyond the riuers of Ethiopia,
Mawa na mokili oyo ezali na bamasuwa oyo ezalaka na bavwale lokola mabanki, bongo enanaka na ebale ya Kushi!
2 Sending ambassadours by the Sea, euen in vessels of reedes vpon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, vnto a terrible people from their beginning euen hitherto: a nation by litle and litle, euen troden vnder foote, whose land the floods haue spoyled.
Mawa na yo oyo otindaka bantoma na nzela ya ebale kati na bamasuwa oyo basala na papirisi, na likolo ya ebale monene! Bino bapanzi sango ya mbangu, bokende epai ya bato ya ekolo oyo bazalaka milayi mpe baposo ya nzoto na bango engengaka, epai ya bato ya ekolo oyo babangisaka na mosika, bato ya makasi oyo banyataka banguna na bango, mpe oyo bibale eleka kati na mokili na bango.
3 Al ye the inhabitants of ye world and dwellers in the earth, shall see when he setteth vp a signe in the mountaines, and when he bloweth the trumpet, ye shall heare.
Bino nyonso, bavandi ya mokili, bino oyo botondisi mabele, tango bakotombola bendele na likolo ya bangomba, bokomona; tango bakobeta kelelo, bokoyoka!
4 For so the Lord saide vnto me, I will rest and beholde in my tabernacle, as the heate drying vp the rayne, and as a cloude of dewe in the heate of haruest.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na ngai: « Nakovanda kimia mpe nakotala wuta na ndako na Ngai, lokola kongala ya moyi to lokola mapata na tango ya molunge. »
5 For afore the haruest when the floure is finished, and the fruite is riping in the floure, then he shall cut downe the branches with hookes, and shall take away, and cut off the boughes:
Mpo ete liboso ya kobuka bambuma, tango bafololo ya mike etikaka kobima mpe ekomaka bambuma mibesu oyo ekomi pene ya kotela, bakataka bitape na likwangola, babwakaka mpe batiaka pembeni bitape.
6 They shall be left together vnto the foules of the mountaines, and to the beastes of the earth: for the foule shall sommer vpon it, and euery beast of the earth shall winter vpon it.
Bakosundola yango epai ya bandeke oyo eliaka misuni na likolo ya bangomba mpe epai ya banyama ya zamba. Bandeke minene ekolia yango na tango ya molunge mpe banyama ya zamba ekolia yango na tango ya malili.
7 At that time shall a present be brought vnto the Lord of hostes, (a people that is scattered abroade, and spoyled, and of a terrible people from their beginning hitherto, a nation, by litle and litle euen troden vnder foote, whose land the riuers haue spoyled) to the place of the Name of the Lord of hostes, euen the mount Zion.
Na tango wana, bakomema bakado epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, wuta epai ya ekolo ya bato milayi oyo poso ya nzoto na bango engengaka, wuta epai ya ekolo ya bato oyo babangisaka na mosika, bato ya makasi oyo banyataka banguna na bango, mpe oyo bibale eleka kati na mokili na bango, bakomema bakado yango na ngomba Siona, esika oyo Kombo ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ezalaka.
