Isaiah 8
1 Moreover, the Lord sayd vnto me, Take thee a great roll, and write in it with a mans penne, Make speede to the spoyle: haste to the praye.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kamata etando monene ya libanga mpe salela ekomeli mpo na kokoma makambo oyo na likolo na yango: Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz (pene bomengo ya bitumba, pene kobebisama). »
2 Then I tooke vnto me faithfull witnesses to recorde, Vriah the Priest, and Zechariah the sonne of Ieberechiah.
Nabengaki Nganga-Nzambe Iri mpe Zakari, mwana mobali ya Yeberekia, mpo ete bazala batatoli na ngai ya sembo.
3 After, I came vnto the Prophetesse, which conceiued, and bare a sonne. Then sayd the Lord to me, Call his name, Mahershalalhash-baz.
Nakendeki epai ya mwasi mosakoli; akomaki na zemi mpe abotaki mwana mobali. Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Pesa ye kombo Maher-Shalal-Hash-Baz.
4 For before the childe shall haue knowledge to crye, My father, and my mother, he shall take away the riches of Damascus and the spoyle of Samaria, before the King of Asshur.
Liboso ete mwana ayeba ndenge babengaka ‹ Tata na ngai › to ‹ mama na ngai, › bakomema bozwi ya Damasi mpe bomengo ya bitumba ya Samari epai ya mokonzi ya Asiri. »
5 And the Lord spake yet againe vnto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu:
6 Because this people hath refused the waters of Shiloah that runne softly, and reioyce with Rezin, and the sonne of Remaliah,
« Mpo ete bato oyo basundoli mayi ya Siloe oyo etiolaka na kimia, mpe basepeli na Retsini mpe na mwana mobali ya Remalia,
7 Nowe therefore, beholde, the Lord bringeth vp vpon them the waters of the Riuer mightie and great, euen the King of Asshur with all his glory, and he shall come vp vpon all their riuers, and goe ouer all their banks,
Yawe akotindela bango mayi ya nguya mpe mayi ebele lokola mayi ya ebale Efrate: ekozala nde mokonzi ya Asiri elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso. Ekotonda penza meke mpe ekozipa bangambo nyonso.
8 And shall breake into Iudah, and shall ouerflowe and passe through, and shall come vp to the necke, and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanu-el.
Ekokota na Yuda mpe ekozindisa yango kino na kingo; mpe kopanzana ya mayi yango ekotondisa mokili na yo mobimba, Emanwele. »
9 Gather together on heapes, O ye people, and ye shalbe broken in pieces, and hearken all ye of farre countreys: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces: gird your selues, and you shalbe broken in pieces.
Bino bikolo, boganga na somo mpe bopalangana! Bino bituka nyonso ya mosika, boyoka! Bobongama mpo na bitumba mpe bopalangana! Bobongama mpo na bitumba mpe bopalangana!
10 Take counsell together, yet it shall be brought to nought: pronounce a decree, yet shall it not stand: for God is with vs.
Bosala malamu mabongisi na bino, kasi ekobebisama; boloba oyo bokoki koloba, kasi eloko moko te ekosalema, pamba te Nzambe azali elongo na biso!
11 For the Lord spake thus to me in taking of mine hand, and taught me, that I should not walke in the way of this people, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai, tango asimbaki ngai na loboko na Ye ya nguya mpe akebisaki ngai ete nalanda te nzela ya bato oyo:
12 Say ye not, A confederacie to all them, to whome this people sayth a confederacie, neither feare you their feare, nor be afrayd of them.
« Bobengaka likita te eloko nyonso oyo bato babengaka likita; bobangaka te oyo bango babangaka, boyokela yango somo ata moke te.
13 Sanctifie the Lord of hostes, and let him be your feare, and let him be your dread,
Kaka Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde bosengeli komona lokola Mosantu, Ye kaka nde bosengeli kokumisa, Ye kaka nde bosengeli koyoka somo.
14 And he shalbe as a Sanctuarie: but as a stumbling stone, and as a rocke to fall vpon, to both the houses of Israel, and as a snare and as a net to the inhabitants of Ierusalem.
Akozala lokola Esika ya bule; kasi mpo na bandako mibale ya Isalaele, akozala lokola libanga oyo ebetisaka bato mabaku, lokola libanga monene oyo ekweyisaka bato; bongo mpo na bato ya Yelusalemi, akozala motambo mpe monyama.
15 And many among them shall stumble, and shall fall and shalbe broken and shalbe snared and shalbe taken.
Mingi kati na bango bakobeta mabaku, bakokweya mpe bakobukana, bakokangama na motambo, mpe bakozwa bango. »
16 Binde vp the testimonie: seale vp the Law among my disciples.
Bomba lisakoli oyo ete eyebana te, kangisa mobeko oyo kati na bayekoli na ngai.
17 Therefore I will waite vpon the Lord that hath hid his face from the house of Iaakob, and I wil looke for him.
Nakotalela Yawe oyo abombi elongi na Ye, oyo apesi ndako ya Jakobi mokongo; nakotia elikya na ngai kati na Ye.
18 Beholde, I and the children whome the Lord hath giuen me, are as signes and as wonders in Israel, by the Lord of hostes, which dwelleth in mount Zion.
Ngai elongo na bana oyo Yawe apesi ngai, tozali bilembo mpe bandakisa kati na Isalaele, kowuta na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo avandaka na ngomba Siona.
19 And when they shall say vnto you, Enquire at them that haue a spirit of diuination, and at the soothsayers, which whisper and murmure, Should not a people enquire at their God? from the liuing to the dead?
Soki bato balobi na bino: « Bokende kotalisa makambo epai ya bato oyo basololaka na milimo ya bakufi mpe epai ya bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya, oyo balobaka-lobaka lokola bandeke. Boni, bato baluka banzambe na bango te? Mpo na nini te babelela bakufi mpo na bato ya bomoi? »
20 To the Law, and to the testimonie, if they speake not according to this worde: it is because there is no light in them.
Na mobeko mpe na lisakoli! Soki bakoloba bongo te, bakomona tongo te.
21 Then he that is afflicted and famished, shall go to and from in it: and when he shalbe hungry, he shall euen freat himselfe, and curse his King and his gods, and shall looke vpward.
Bakokatisa mokili, na pasi mpe na nzala; mpe tango bakokoma na nzala, bakokoma kanda-kanda, bakotala likolo mpe bakolakela mokonzi mpe Nzambe na bango mabe.
22 And when he shall looke to the earth, beholde trouble, and darkenes, vexation and anguish, and he is driuen to darkenes.
Mpe tango bakotala mabele, bakomona kaka pasi ya makasi, molili mpe molili ya somo makasi; mpe bakotindika bango kati na molili ya makasi.
