Isaiah 42
1 BEHOLD my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment 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 cry, nor lift up, nor cause his voice to be heard in the street.
akotombola mongongo te, akoganga te, akobelela na mongongo makasi te na babalabala;
3 A bruised reed shall he not break, and the smoking flax shall he not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
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 fail nor be discouraged, till he have set judgment in the earth: and the isles shall wait for his law.
akolemba te mpe akotika te kino tango akotia bosembo na mokili. Bisanga ekotia elikya na mobeko na ye.
5 Thus saith God the Lord, he that created the heavens, and stretched them out; he that spread forth the earth, and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk 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 have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thine hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, 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 To open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the prison, and them that sit in darkness 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: that is my name: and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise to graven 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 Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare: before they spring forth 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 unto the Lord a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth, ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein; the isles, 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 wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit: let the inhabitants of the rock sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.
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 give glory unto the Lord, and declare his praise in the islands.
Tika ete bapesa nkembo epai na Yawe mpe batatola lokumu na Ye kati na bisanga!
13 The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, he shall stir up jealousy like a man of war: he shall cry, yea, roar; he shall prevail 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 have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry like a travailing woman; I will destroy and devour 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 mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and I will dry up the pools.
Nakobebisa bangomba milayi mpe mikuse, nakokawusa banzete mpe matiti na yango nyonso, nakokomisa bibale, bisanga, mpe nakokawusa maziba;
16 And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto 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 back, they shall be greatly ashamed, that trust in graven images, that say to the molten images, Ye 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 Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.
Boyoka, bino bakufi matoyi! Botala mpe bomona, bino bato bokufa miso!
19 Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I sent? who is blind as he that is perfect, and blind as the Lord’s servant?
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 observest not; opening the ears, 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 well pleased for his righteousness’ sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.
Esepelisaki Yawe, mpo na bosembo na Ye, kokomisa Mobeko na Ye eloko ya monene mpe ya lokumu.
22 But this is a people robbed and spoiled; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, 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 will give ear to this? who will hearken and hear for the time to come?
Nani kati na bino akoyoka makambo yango? Nani akozala na bokebi na makambo oyo ekoya?
24 Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not the Lord, he against whom we have sinned? for they would not walk in his ways, neither were they obedient unto his law.
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 he hath poured upon him the fury of his anger, and the strength of battle: and it hath set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
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.
