Isaiah 19
1 The burden of Egypt. Behold, the LORD rideth upon a swift cloud, and cometh unto Egypt; and the idols of Egypt shall be moved at His presence, and the heart of Egypt shall melt within it.
Maloba ya Yawe mpo na kosambisa Ejipito: Tala, Yawe amati likolo ya mapata oyo ekendaka mbangu, azali koya na Ejipito. Banzambe ya bikeko ya Ejipito ezali kolenga liboso na Ye mpe mitema ya bato ya Ejipito elembi-lembi kati na bango.
2 And I will spur Egypt against Egypt; and they shall fight every one against his brother, and everyone against his neighbour; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.
« Nakosala ete bato ya Ejipito batelemelana bango na bango: ndeko akobundisa ndeko na ye, moninga akobundisa moninga na ye, engumba moko ekobundisa engumba mosusu, mpe mboka moko ekobundisa mboka mosusu.
3 And the spirit of Egypt shall be made empty within it; and I will make void the counsel thereof; and they shall seek unto the idols, and to the whisperers, and to the ghosts, and to the familiar spirits.
Bato ya Ejipito bakosila mayele, mpe nakobebisa mabongisi na bango nyonso; bakokende kotuna toli epai ya banzambe ya bikeko, epai ya milimo ya bakufi, epai ya bato oyo basololaka na milimo ya bakufi mpe epai ya bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya.
4 And I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord; and a fierce king shall rule over them, saith the Lord, the LORD of hosts.
Nakokaba bato ya Ejipito na maboko ya bakonzi ya mitema mabe, mpe mokonzi moko ya kanda makasi akokonza bango, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
5 And the waters shall fail from the sea, and the river shall be drained dry,
Mayi ya ebale monene ekokita, mpe mayi ya ebale ekosila mpe ekokawuka.
6 And the rivers shall become foul; the streams of Egypt shall be minished and dried up; the reeds and flags shall wither.
Mayi ya miluka ekokoma solo, mayi ya Ejipito ekokita mpe ekokawuka. Mpe lisusu, banzete oyo ebotaka na mayi ekokawuka,
7 The mosses by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all that is sown by the Nile, shall become dry, be driven away, and be no more.
elongo na matiti oyo ezalaka pembeni ya Nili, na monoko ya ebale. Milona nyonso ya bilanga oyo ebotaka pembeni ya Nili ekokawuka mpe ekopumbwa na mopepe, eloko moko te ekotikala.
8 The fishers also shall lament, and all they that cast angle into the Nile shall mourn, and they that spread nets upon the waters shall languish.
Balobi mbisi bakonyokwama mpe bakokoma kolela, bato nyonso oyo babwakaka ndobo mpe minyama na ebale Nili bakokoma na pasi.
9 Moreover they that work in combed flax, and they that weave cotton, shall be ashamed.
Bato oyo basalaka lino bakokufa soni ya makasi, mpe bato oyo batongaka bilamba bakotonda na mawa.
10 And her foundations shall be crushed, all they that make dams shall be grieved in soul.
Bato oyo basimbaka mokili bakokweya, mpe basali nyonso bakolemba nzoto.
11 The princes of Zoan are utter fools; the wisest counsellors of Pharaoh are a senseless counsel; how can ye say unto Pharaoh: 'I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings'?
Bakambi ya Tsoani bakomi penza lokola bazoba, bato ya bwanya ya Faraon bakomi kopesa batoli oyo ezanga tina. Ndenge nini bokoki penza koloba na Faraon: « Ngai, nazali moko kati na bato ya bwanya, moyekoli ya bakonzi ya kala? »
12 Where are they, then, thy wise men? And let them tell thee now; and let them know what the LORD of hosts hath purposed concerning Egypt.
Wapi sik’oyo bato na yo ya bwanya? Tika ete balakisa yo mpe basosolisa yo makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abongisaki mpo na kotelemela Ejipito.
13 The princes of Zoan are become fools, the princes of Noph are deceived; they have caused Egypt to go astray, that are the corner-stone of her tribes.
Bakambi ya Tsoani bakomi lokola bazoba, bakambi ya Mefisi bakomi kokanisa makambo ya lokuta; nzokande bango, makonzi ya bikolo ya bato ya Ejipito, nde bazali kobungisa bato ya Ejipito nzela.
14 The LORD hath mingled within her a spirit of dizziness; and they have caused Egypt to stagger in every work thereof, as a drunken man staggereth in his vomit.
Yawe atindeli bango molimo ya kizunguzungu: bango nde basalaki ete Ejipito ekoma kotenga-tenga na misala na yango nyonso ndenge moto oyo alangwe masanga atengaka-tengaka.
15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm-branch or rush, may do.
Eloko moko te ekosalema lisusu na Ejipito, ezala na moto to na mokila, na lindalala ya nzete ya mbila to na nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi.
16 In that day shall Egypt be like unto women; and it shall tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of the LORD of hosts, which He shaketh over it.
Na mokolo wana, bato ya Ejipito bakokoma lokola basi. Bakolenga na somo na koningana ya loboko oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, atomboli mpo na kotelemela bango.
17 And the land of Judah shall become a terror unto Egypt, whensoever one maketh mention thereof to it; it shall be afraid, because of the purpose of the LORD of hosts, which He purposeth against it.
Bongo mokili ya Yuda ekolengisa bato ya Ejipito na somo. Tango nyonso bakoyoka kombo ya Yuda, bakolenga na somo mpo na mabongisi nyonso oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asalaki mpo na kotelemela bango.
18 In that day there shall be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to the LORD of hosts; one shall be called The city of destruction.
Na mokolo wana, bingumba mitano kati na Ejipito ekokoma koloba lokota ya Bayuda mpe kolapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. Bongo moko kati na yango ekobenga yango: Engumba ya moyi.
19 In that day shall there be an altar to the LORD in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar at the border thereof to the LORD.
Na mokolo wana, bakotonga etumbelo moko na kati-kati ya Ejipito mpe bakotia likonzi moko lokola ekaniseli mpo na Yawe, na bandelo ya mokili.
20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt; for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and He will send them a saviour, and a defender, who will deliver them.
Ekozala lokola elembo mpe litatoli mpo na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, na mokili ya Ejipito. Tango bakoganga epai na Yawe likolo na banyokoli na bango, akotindela bango mobikisi mpe mobundeli, mpe akobikisa bango.
21 And the LORD shall make Himself known to Egypt, and the Egyptians shall know the LORD in that day; yea, they shall worship with sacrifice and offering, and shall vow a vow unto the LORD, and shall perform it.
Boye, Yawe akomimonisa epai na bato ya Ejipito. Mpe na mokolo wana, bato ya Ejipito bakoyeba Yawe, bakogumbamela Ye na bambeka mpe na makabo ya bambuma; bakolapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe mpe bakokokisa yango.
22 And the LORD will smite Egypt, smiting and healing; and they shall return unto the LORD, and He will be entreated of them, and will heal them.
Kasi Yawe akobeta Ejipito na nzela ya bitumbu, akobeta yango mpe akobikisa yango. Bakozonga epai na Yawe, bongo akoyanola na kolela na bango mpe akobikisa bango.
23 In that day shall there be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians shall worship with the Assyrians.
Na mokolo wana, bakopasola nzela moko wuta na Ejipito kino na Asiri. Bato ya Asiri bakokoma koya na Ejipito, mpe bato ya Ejipito bakokoma koya na Asiri. Bato ya Ejipito mpe bato ya Asiri bakokoma kosala elongo losambo mpo na Yawe.
24 In that day shall Israel be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;
Na mokolo wana, Isalaele akozala ekolo ya misato, sima na Ejipito mpe Asiri, lipamboli oyo Nzambe akomema na mokili.
25 for that the LORD of hosts hath blessed him, saying: 'Blessed be Egypt My people and Assyria the work of My hands, and Israel Mine inheritance.'
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akopambola bango na maloba oyo: « Tika ete bopambolama: Ejipito, bato na Ngai; Asiri, misala ya maboko na Ngai, mpe Isalaele, libula na Ngai! »
