< Isaiah 54 >

1 Rejoice, O barren that diddest not beare: breake forth into ioy and reioyce, thou that diddest not trauaile with childe: for the desolate hath moe children then the married wife, sayeth the Lord.
Oh mwasi ekomba, yemba nzembo na esengo, yo oyo obotaka te! Yemba nzembo mpe ganga na esengo, yo mwasi oyo oyoki nanu pasi ya kobota te! Pamba te bana ya mwasi oyo basundola bakozala ebele koleka bana ya mwasi ya libala, elobi Yawe.
2 Enlarge the place of thy tents, and let them spread out the curtains of thine habitations: spare not, stretch out thy cords and make fast thy stakes.
Yeisa ndako na yo ya kapo monene, bakisa bakapo na ndako yango mpo ete eya monene; kokanga motema te! Benda na molayi basinga na yo mpe pika banzete na yo makasi!
3 For thou shalt increase on the right hande and on the left, and thy seede shall possesse the Gentiles, and dwell in the desolate cities.
Pamba te okofungwama na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mwasi; bakitani na yo bakokonza bikolo mosusu mpe bakosala ete bato bavanda lisusu na bingumba na bango oyo etikalaki lisusu na bato te.
4 Feare not: for thou shalt not be ashamed, neither shalt thou be confounded: for thou shalt not bee put to shame: yea, thou shalt forget the shame of thy youth, and shalt not remember the reproch of thy widdowhoode any more.
Kobanga te, pamba te okoyoka lisusu soni te! Kozala na mawa te, pamba te okotiolama lisusu te! Okobosana soni ya bolenge na yo mpe okokanisa lisusu te pasi na yo ya kokufisa mobali;
5 For hee that made thee, is thine husband (whose Name is the Lord of hostes) and thy redeemer the Holy one of Israel, shall be called the God of the whole world.
pamba te Mokeli na yo nde mobali na yo, Kombo na Ye: Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; Mosantu ya Isalaele azali Mosikoli na yo; babengaka Ye: Nzambe ya mokili mobimba.
6 For the Lord hath called thee, being as a woman forsaken, and afflicted in spirite, and as a yong wife when thou wast refused, sayth thy God.
Pamba te Yawe abengi yo lisusu lokola mwasi oyo basundola, bongo azali na pasi na motema. Ndenge nini bakoki solo kosundola mwasi oyo babala na bolenge, elobi Nzambe na yo?
7 For a litle while haue I forsaken thee, but with great compassion will I gather thee.
Nasundolaki yo kaka mpo na tango moke; kasi na bolingo nyonso, nakozongisa yo.
8 For a moment, in mine anger, I hid my face from thee for a litle season, but with euerlasting mercy haue I had compassion on thee, sayth the Lord thy redeemer.
Mpo ete nazalaki na kanda makasi, nabombelaki yo elongi na Ngai kaka mpo na tango moke; kasi nakolakisa yo bolamu mpo na bolingo oyo ezangi suka, elobi Yawe, Mosikoli na yo.
9 For this is vnto me as the waters of Noah: for as I haue sworne that the waters of Noah should no more goe ouer the earth, so haue I sworne that I would not be angrie with thee, nor rebuke thee.
Na miso na Ngai, ezali lokola na mikolo ya Noa, tango nalapaki ndayi ete mayi ya Noa ekozindisa lisusu mabele te. Boye, nalapi solo ndayi sik’oyo ete nakosilikela yo lisusu te mpe nakopamela yo lisusu te.
10 For the mountaines shall remoue and the hilles shall fall downe: but my mercy shall not depart from thee, neither shall the couenant of my peace fall away, saith the Lord, that hath compassion on thee.
Ata bangomba milayi eningani, ata bangomba mikuse elongwe na bisika na yango, bolingo na Ngai epai na yo ekoningana te, mpe boyokani na Ngai ya kimia ekotikala kolongwa te, elobi Yawe oyo alingaka yo.
11 O thou afflicted and tossed with tempest, that hast no comfort, beholde, I wil lay thy stones with the carbuncle, and lay thy foundation with saphirs,
Oh engumba ya mawa, engumba oyo mopepe makasi esili kobuka mpe ezangeli kobondisama, nakotonga yo lisusu na mabanga ya talo mpe nakosala miboko na yo na mabanga ya safiri,
12 And I will make thy windowes of emeraudes, and thy gates shining stones, and all thy borders of pleasant stones.
nakotonga bamir ya lopango na yo na mabanga ya ribi, nakosala bikuke na yo na biloko ya ngelingeli, mpe bamir na yo nyonso, na mabanga ya talo.
13 And all thy children shalbe taught of the Lord, and much peace shalbe to thy children.
Yawe akoteya bana na yo nyonso, mpe kimia ya bana na yo ekozala monene.
14 In righteousnes shalt thou be established, and be farre from oppression: for thou shalt not feare it: and from feare, for it shall not come neere thee.
Okolendisama kati na bosembo: minyoko ekozala mosika na yo, okobanga lisusu eloko moko te, mpe somo ekokende mosika na yo; ekomeka kopusana lisusu pene na yo te.
15 Beholde, the enemie shall gather himselfe, but without me: whosoeuer shall gather himselfe in thee, against thee, shall fall.
Soki babundisi yo, ekowuta epai na Ngai te; moto nyonso oyo akobundisa yo akokweya liboso na yo.
16 Beholde, I haue created the smith that bloweth the coales in the fire, and him that bringeth forth an instrument for his worke, and I haue created the destroyer to destroy.
Tala, ezali Ngai nde nakelaki monyangwisi bibende na moto oyo apelisaka moto makasi na makala mpe asalaka ebundeli mpo ete esala mosala na yango. Ezali mpe kaka Ngai nde nakelaki mobebisi mpo ete asala mosala ya kobebisa.
17 But all the weapons that are made against thee, shall not prosper: and euery tongue that shall rise against thee in iudgement, thou shalt condemne. This is the heritage of the Lords seruants, and their righteousnesse is of me, sayth the Lord.
Nzokande, ebundeli moko te oyo esalemi mpo na kosala yo mabe ekolonga; mpe monoko nyonso oyo ekotelemela yo na kosambisa, okokatela yango etumbu. Yango nde ekozala libula ya basali ya Yawe, mpe elonga na bango kowuta epai na Ngai, elobi Yawe.
