< Isaiah 42 >

1 Behold, my seruaunt: I will stay vpon him: mine elect, in whom my soule deliteth: I haue put my Spirit vpon him: he shall bring forth iudgement to the Gentiles.
Tala mosali na Ngai, oyo nasimbaka; moponami na Ngai, oyo asalaka esengo na Ngai. Nakotia Molimo na Ngai na likolo na ye, mpe akotia bosembo kati na bikolo,
2 He shall not crie, nor lift vp, nor cause his voice to be heard in the streete.
akotombola mongongo te, akoganga te, akobelela na mongongo makasi te na babalabala;
3 A bruised reede shall hee not breake, and the smoking flaxe shall he not quench: he shall bring foorth iudgement in trueth.
akobuka te mwa nzete ya kolemba oyo egumbama mpe akoboma te moto ya singa ya mwinda oyo ekomi pene ya kokufa. Akomema bosembo na solo nyonso,
4 He shall not faile nor be discouraged till he haue set iudgement in the earth: and the yles shall waite for his lawe.
akolemba te mpe akotika te kino tango akotia bosembo na mokili. Bisanga ekotia elikya na mobeko na ye.
5 Thus sayeth God the Lord (he that created the heauens and spred them abroad: he that stretched foorth the earth, and the buddes thereof: he that giueth breath vnto the people vpon it, and spirit to them that walke therein)
Tala liloba oyo Nzambe, Yawe, alobi, Ye oyo akelaki likolo mpe atandaki yango lokola liputa, oyo atandaki mabele mpe biloko nyonso oyo mabele ebimisaka, oyo apesaka pema na bato na yango mpe bomoi na bato oyo batambolaka likolo na yango:
6 I the Lord haue called thee in righteousnesse, and will hold thine hand, and I will keepe thee, and giue thee for a couenant of the people, and for a light of the Gentiles,
« Ngai Yawe, nabengaki yo na bosembo, nasimbi loboko na yo makasi, nabateli yo mpe natie yo mpo na kosala boyokani elongo na bikolo mpe kozala pole ya bikolo,
7 That thou maist open the eyes of the blind, and bring out the prisoners from the prison: and them that sitte in darkenesse, out of the prison house.
mpo na kofungola miso ya bakufi miso, mpo na kobimisa bakangami na boloko mpe kobimisa bavandi ya molili, na kasho.
8 I am the Lord, this is my Name, and my glory wil I not giue to another, neither my praise to grauen images.
Nazali Yawe; yango nde Kombo na Ngai; nakopesa nkembo na Ngai na mosusu te to lokumu na Ngai epai na banzambe ya bikeko te.
9 Beholde, the former thinges are come to passe, and newe things doe I declare: before they come foorth, I tell you of them.
Tala, makambo ya liboso esili koleka, mpe Ngai nazali kotatola makambo ya sika; nayebisi bino yango liboso ete esalema. »
10 Sing vnto the Lord a newe song, and his praise from the ende of the earth: yee that goe downe to the sea, and all that is therein: the yles and the inhabitants thereof.
Boyemba loyembo ya sika mpo na Yawe, bokumisa Ye wuta na basuka ya mabele, bino bato oyo botambolaka na ebale monene, mpe nyonso oyo etondisaka yango, bino bisanga mpe bavandi na yango nyonso!
11 Let the wildernesse and the cities thereof lift vp their voyce, the townes that Kedar doeth inhabite: let the inhabitants of the rocks sing: let them shoute from the toppe of the mountaines.
Tika ete esobe mpe bingumba na yango etombola mingongo, tika ete bamboka mike epai wapi Kedari avandaka esepela! Tika ete bato ya Sela bayemba na esengo; tika ete baganga wuta na likolo ya bangomba!
12 Let them giue glorie vnto the Lord, and declare his praise in the ylands.
Tika ete bapesa nkembo epai na Yawe mpe batatola lokumu na Ye kati na bisanga!
13 The Lord shall go forth as a gyant: he shall stirre vp his courage like a man of warre: he shall shout and crie, and shall preuaile against his enemies.
Yawe akobima lokola elombe, akopelisa zuwa na Ye lokola mobundi bitumba; akoganga, solo; akoganga makasi, mpe akolonga banguna na Ye.
14 I haue a long time holden my peace: I haue beene still and refrained my selfe: nowe will I crie like a trauailing woman: I will destroy and deuoure at once.
Wuta kala, navandaki nye, nakangaki monoko mpe motema na ngai; kasi sik’oyo, lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota, nazali koganga, nazali kolela mpe kopema na pasi.
15 I will make waste mountaines, and hilles, and drie vp all their herbes, and I will make the floods ylands, and I will drie vp the pooles.
Nakobebisa bangomba milayi mpe mikuse, nakokawusa banzete mpe matiti na yango nyonso, nakokomisa bibale, bisanga, mpe nakokawusa maziba;
16 And I will bring the blinde by a way, that they knewe not, and lead them by paths that they haue not knowen: I will make darkenesse light before them, and crooked thinges straight. These thinges will I doe vnto them, and not forsake them.
nakomema bakufi miso na nzela oyo batikala nanu koyeba te, nakotambolisa bango na nzela oyo bamesana kotambola te; nakobongola molili pole liboso na bango, mpe nakokomisa nzela ya nyoka-nyoka nzela ya alima. Tala makambo oyo nakosala, nakotika yango te.
17 They shall be turned backe: they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in grauen images, and say to the molten images, Yee are our gods.
Kasi bato oyo batiaka elikya na banzambe ya bikeko mpe balobaka na bililingi: « Bozali banzambe na biso, » bakozonga sima mpe bakosambwa.
18 Heare, ye deafe: and ye blinde, regarde, that ye may see.
Boyoka, bino bakufi matoyi! Botala mpe bomona, bino bato bokufa miso!
19 Who is blinde but my seruaunt? or deafe as my messenger, that I sent? who is blind as the perfit, and blinde as the Lordes seruant?
Nani azali mokufi miso soki mosali na ngai te? Nani yango mokufi matoyi soki ntoma oyo ngai natindaki te? Nani mokufi miso lokola molobeli na ngai? Nani mokufi miso lokola mosali na Yawe?
20 Seeing many things, but thou keepest them not? opening the eares, but he heareth not?
Omonaki makambo ebele, kasi ozalaki na bokebi na yango te; matoyi na yo efungwamaki, kasi oyokaki ata eloko moko te.
21 The Lord is willing for his righteousnesse sake that he may magnifie the Lawe, and exalt it.
Esepelisaki Yawe, mpo na bosembo na Ye, kokomisa Mobeko na Ye eloko ya monene mpe ya lokumu.
22 But this people is robbed and spoiled, and shalbe all snared in dungeons, and they shalbe hid in prison houses: they shall be for a pray, and none shall deliuer: a spoile, and none shall say, Restore.
Kasi tala bato oyo bomengo na bango, babotola yango mpe babebisa bango; bakanga bango nyonso na mabulu mpe babomba bango kati na boloko, bakoma lokola bomengo ya bitumba, bongo moto akokangola bango azali te; bakoma lokola mosuni, bongo moto akoloba: « Zongisa bango, » azali te.
23 Who among you shall hearken to this, and take heede, and heare for afterwardes?
Nani kati na bino akoyoka makambo yango? Nani akozala na bokebi na makambo oyo ekoya?
24 Who gaue Iaakob for a spoyle, and Israel to the robbers? Did not ye Lord, because we haue sinned against him? for they woulde not walke in his waies, neither be obedient vnto his Lawe.
Nani akabaki Jakobi na maboko ya babebisi, mpe Isalaele na maboko ya banguna? Boni, ezalaki Yawe te oyo liboso ya nani basalelaki masumu? Pamba te balingaki te kolanda nzela na Ye mpe kotosa Mobeko na Ye.
25 Therefore hee hath powred vpon him his fierce wrath, and the strength of battell: and it set him on fire round about, and he knewe not, and it burned him vp, yet he considered not.
Boye, asopelaki bango moto ya kanda na Ye, mobulu ya etumba makasi; azingelaki bango na moto na bangambo nyonso, kasi basosolaki te; mpe moto ezikisaki bango, kasi bazwaki penza likambo yango na motema te.
