Isaiah 14
1 For the LORD will have compassion on Jacob, and will yet choose Israel, and set them in their own land; and the stranger shall join himself with them, and they shall cleave to the house of Jacob.
Yawe akoyokela Jakobi mawa, akopona lisusu Isalaele mpe akopemisa bango na mokili na bango; bongo bapaya bakosangana na bango mpe bakobakisama na ndako ya Jakobi.
2 And the peoples shall take them, and bring them to their place; and the house of Israel shall possess them in the land of the LORD for servants and for handmaids; and they shall take them captive, whose captives they were; and they shall rule over their oppressors.
Bato ya bikolo bakozwa bango mpe bakomema bango kino na esika na bango. Bongo, libota ya Isalaele ekokamata bango na mokili ya Yawe lokola basali ya mibali mpe ya basi. Bakokomisa bakangami bato oyo bakangaki bango mpe bakokonza bato oyo bakonzaki bango.
3 And it shall come to pass in the day that the LORD shall give thee rest from thy travail, and from thy trouble, and from the hard service wherein thou wast made to serve,
Na mokolo oyo Yawe akopesa yo bopemi na mosala na yo, na komitungisa na yo mpe na misala makasi oyo bapesaki yo,
4 that thou shalt take up this parable against the king of Babylon, and say: How hath the oppressor ceased! the exactress of gold ceased!
okoyemba nzembo oyo mpo na kotiola mokonzi ya Babiloni; okoloba: « Ndenge nini monyokoli akomi na suka? Ndenge nini penza lolendo na ye esili?
5 The LORD hath broken the staff of the wicked, the sceptre of the rulers,
Yawe abuki fimbu ya moto mabe, lingenda ya bokonzi ya bakambi,
6 That smote the peoples in wrath with an incessant stroke, that ruled the nations in anger, with a persecution that none restrained.
oyo azalaki kokweyisa bato na kanda mpe kobeta bango na kolemba te, oyo azalaki kokonza bikolo na kanda makasi mpe konyokola bango na mawa te.
7 The whole earth is at rest, and is quiet; they break forth into singing.
Mikili nyonso ezwi bopemi mpe kimia, ekomi koganga na esengo.
8 Yea, the cypresses rejoice at thee, and the cedars of Lebanon: 'Since thou art laid down, no feller is come up against us.'
Banzete ya sipele ezali kosepela mpo na kokweya na yo, mpe banzete ya sedele ya Libani ezali koloba: ‹ Wuta tango okweyaki na se, moto moko te akweyisaka lisusu biso. ›
9 The nether-world from beneath is moved for thee to meet thee at thy coming; the shades are stirred up for thee, even all the chief ones of the earth; all the kings of the nations are raised up from their thrones. (Sheol h7585)
Mokili ya bakufi, kuna na se, eningani na sango ya koya na yo, elamusi, mpo na koyamba yo, milimo ya bakufi, bato nyonso oyo bazalaki bakambi na mokili, etomboli bango, na bakiti na bango ya bokonzi, ba-oyo nyonso bazalaki bakonzi ya bikolo. (Sheol h7585)
10 All they do answer and say unto thee: 'Art thou also become weak as we? Art thou become like unto us?
Bango nyonso bakozwa maloba mpe bakoloba na yo: ‹ Yo mpe okomi moto ya bolembu lokola biso, okokani na biso! ›
11 Thy pomp is brought down to the nether-world, and the noise of thy psalteries; the maggot is spread under thee, and the worms cover thee.' (Sheol h7585)
Lokumu na yo nyonso ekiti kino na mokili ya bakufi, elongo na makelele ya mandanda na yo. Nkusu etondi na se na yo lokola mbeto, mpe mitsopi ezipi yo lokola elamba. (Sheol h7585)
12 How art thou fallen from heaven, O day-star, son of the morning! How art thou cut down to the ground, that didst cast lots over the nations!
Ndenge nini penza okweyi wuta na likolo, oh monzoto oyo engengaka na tongo, mwana mobali ya tongo makasi? Bakweyisi yo penza kino na mabele, yo moto oyo ozalaki kopanza bikolo!
13 And thou saidst in thy heart: 'I will ascend into heaven, above the stars of God will I exalt my throne, and I will sit upon the mount of meeting, in the uttermost parts of the north;
Ozalaki komilobela kati na motema: ‹ Nakomata kino na Lola, nakotombola kiti na ngai ya bokonzi kino na likolo ya minzoto ya Nzambe mpe nakovanda na ngomba epai wapi banzambe basanganaka, na suka ya mokili ya ngambo ya nor;
14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.'
nakomata kino na likolo ya mapata, nakomikomisa lokola Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo. ›
15 Yet thou shalt be brought down to the nether-world, to the uttermost parts of the pit. (Sheol h7585)
Kasi okiti nde na mokili ya bakufi, na se penza ya libulu. (Sheol h7585)
16 They that saw thee do narrowly look upon thee, they gaze earnestly at thee: 'Is this the man that made the earth to tremble, that did shake kingdoms;
Bato oyo bazali komona yo batie miso na bango epai na yo, bazali komituna: ‹ Boni, ezali penza ye oyo azalaki koningisa mokili mpe kolengisa bikolo?
17 That made the world as a wilderness, and destroyed the cities thereof; that opened not the house of his prisoners?'
Moto oyo azalaki kokomisa mokili esobe, kokweyisa bingumba na yango mpe kotika te ete bakangami na ye bazonga epai na bango? ›
18 All the kings of the nations, all of them, sleep in glory, every one in his own house.
Bakonzi nyonso ya bikolo balalaka na lokumu, moko na moko kati na kunda na ye;
19 But thou art cast forth away from thy grave like an abhorred offshoot, in the raiment of the slain, that are thrust through with the sword, that go down to the pavement of the pit, as a carcass trodden under foot.
kasi yo obwakami mosika ya kunda na yo lokola kaka eloko moko ya nkele, kati na bibembe ya bato oyo baboma, bato oyo batobola bango na mopanga, bongo bakiti kino na libulu ya mabanga lokola bibembe oyo banyata na makolo.
20 Thou shalt not be joined with them in burial, because thou hast destroyed thy land, thou hast slain thy people; the seed of evil-doers shall not be named for ever.
Okotikala kosangana na bango te kati na kunda, pamba te obebisaki mokili na yo mpe obomaki bato na yo. Bakotikala lisusu kotanga te bakombo ya bakitani ya bato mabe.
21 Prepare ye slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they rise not up, and possess the earth, and fill the face of the world with cities.
Bobongisa esika mpo na koboma bana na ye ya mibali likolo ya masumu ya batata na bango! Tika ete balamuka lisusu te mpo na kozwa mabele lokola libula mpe kotondisa mokili elongo na bingumba na bango.
22 And I will rise up against them, saith the LORD of hosts, and cut off from Babylon name and remnant, and offshoot and offspring, saith the LORD.
Nakotelemela bango, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, « nakolongola kombo ya Babiloni mpe nyonso oyo ekotikala, bana mpe bakitani na yango, elobi Yawe.
23 I will also make it a possession for the bittern, and pools of water; and I will sweep it with the besom of destruction, saith the LORD of hosts.
Nakokomisa yango esika ya potopoto mpe lopango ya bampuku; mpe nakokombola yango na nzela ya ekombelo ya libebi, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
24 The LORD of hosts hath sworn, saying: Surely as I have thought, so shall it come to pass; and as I have purposed, so shall it stand,
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alapi ndayi: « Solo, ndenge kaka nabongisi, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema; makambo oyo nazali na yango na makanisi, yango nde ekokokisama.
25 That I will break Asshur in My land, and upon My mountains tread him under foot; then shall his yoke depart from off them, and his burden depart from off their shoulder.
Nakobebisa mokili ya Asiri kati na mokili na Ngai, nakonyata-nyata yango na likolo ya bangomba na Ngai; ekangiseli na bango ekolongwa epai ya bato na Ngai mpe mokumba na bango ekolongwa na mapeka na bango. »
26 This is the purpose that is purposed upon the whole earth; and this is the hand that is stretched out upon all the nations.
Yango nde mokano oyo Yawe asili kozwa mpo na mokili mobimba, mpe yango nde loboko oyo asili kosembola mpo na kotelemela bikolo nyonso.
27 For the LORD of hosts hath purposed, and who shall disannul it? And His hand is stretched out, and who shall turn it back?
Pamba te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asili kozwa mokano; bongo nani akolongola yango? Loboko na Ye esili kosembolama; nani akozongisa yango?
28 In the year that king Ahaz died was this burden.
Maloba oyo eyaki na mobu oyo mokonzi Akazi akufaki:
29 Rejoice not, O Philistia, all of thee, because the rod that smote thee is broken: for out of the serpent's root shall come forth a basilisk, and his fruit shall be a flying serpent.
« Bino bato nyonso ya Filisitia, bosepela te ete fimbu oyo ezalaki kobeta bino esili kobukana, pamba te etupa ebimaka na libumu ya nyoka, mpe dalagona oyo epumbwaka ebimaka na libumu ya nyoka mabe.
30 And the first-born of the poor shall feed, and the needy shall lie down in safety; and I will kill thy root with famine, and thy remnant shall be slain.
Ye oyo aleki mobola nde akozwa eloko ya kolia, mpe moto oyo akelela nde akolala na kimia; kasi nakoboma bato na yo na nzala; mpe bato oyo bakobika, bakoboma bango.
31 Howl, O gate; cry, O city; melt away, O Philistia, all of thee; for there cometh a smoke out of the north, and there is no straggler in his ranks.
Oh ekuke, lela makasi! Engumba, ganga makasi! Mokili mobimba ya Filisitia esili kozinda! Milinga makasi ezali kobima na ngambo ya nor, mpe moto moko te atikali na libanda ya molongo.
32 What then shall one answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD hath founded Zion, and in her shall the afflicted of His people take refuge.
Eyano nini tokopesa penza epai ya bamemi sango ya ekolo oyo? Ezali ete Yawe asili kolendisa Siona mpo ete babola kati na bato na Ye basili kozwa ebombamelo ya malonga. »
