Isaiah 25
1 O YHWH, thou art my Elohim; I will exalt thee, I will praise thy name; for thou hast done wonderful things; thy counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.
Yawe, ozali Nzambe na ngai; nakonetola Yo mpe nakosanzola Kombo na Yo; pamba te na boyengebene na Yo ya kokoka, osalaki mabongisi ya kokamwa, makambo oyo obongisa wuta kala.
2 For thou hast made of a city an heap; of a defenced city a ruin: a palace of strangers to be no city; it shall never be built.
Okomisaki engumba mopiku ya mabanga, okomisaki bingumba ya makasi maboke ya mabanga; bandako batonga makasi ya bapaya etikali lisusu na bilongi ya engumba te, bakotonga yango lisusu te.
3 Therefore shall the strong people glorify thee, the city of the terrible nations shall fear thee.
Yango wana, bato ya nguya bakopesa Yo lokumu, bingumba ya bikolo ya kanza ekotosa Yo.
4 For thou hast been a strength to the poor, a strength to the needy in his distress, a refuge from the storm, a shadow from the heat, when the blast of the terrible ones is as a storm against the wall.
Ozalaki ekimelo mpo na mobola, ekimelo mpo na moto oyo akelela, na tango ya pasi, ebombamelo na tango ya mvula makasi mpe pio na tango ya molunge. Pamba te pema ya banyokoli ezali lokola mvula ya makasi oyo ebukaka bamir;
5 Thou shalt bring down the noise of strangers, as the heat in a dry place; even the heat with the shadow of a cloud: the branch of the terrible ones shall be brought low.
mpe lokola moto ya moyi na zelo ya esobe. Osilisaki makelele ya bapaya ndenge pio ya mapata esilisaka molunge; boye nde nzembo ya banyokoli esilaki.
6 And in this mountain shall YHWH of hosts make unto all people a feast of fat things, a feast of wines on the lees, of fat things full of marrow, of wines on the lees well refined.
Na ngomba oyo, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akobongisa feti ya biloko kitoko mpo na bato nyonso, feti monene ya vino ya kala, ya misuni oyo eleki mafuta mpe ya vino ya kala oyo balongola malamu salite.
7 And he will destroy in this mountain the face of the covering cast over all people, and the vail that is spread over all nations.
Kaka na ngomba oyo, akobebisa vwale oyo esili kozipa bato nyonso, bulangeti oyo ezipi bikolo nyonso;
8 He will swallow up death in victory; and the Master YHWH will wipe away tears from off all faces; and the rebuke of his people shall he take away from off all the earth: for YHWH hath spoken it.
akolimwisa kufa mpo na libela. Nkolo Yawe akopangusa mpinzoli na bilongi nyonso, akolongola soni ya bato na Ye kati na mokili mobimba. Solo, Yawe alobi.
9 And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our Elohim; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is YHWH; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Na mokolo wana, bakoloba: « Solo, Oyo azali penza Nzambe na biso! Totiaki mitema epai na Ye mpe abikisi biso. Oyo azali solo Yawe, totiaki mitema epai na Ye; tika ete tosepela mpe tozala na esengo mpo na lobiko oyo apesi biso! »
10 For in this mountain shall the hand of YHWH rest, and Moab shall be trodden down under him, even as straw is trodden down for the dunghill.
Loboko na Yawe ekozala na ngomba oyo, kasi bakonyata-nyata Moabi na mokili na bango ndenge banyataka matiti kati na libulu ya fimie.
11 And he shall spread forth his hands in the midst of them, as he that swimmeth spreadeth forth his hands to swim: and he shall bring down their pride together with the spoils of their hands.
Akosembola maboko na Ye kati na yango ndenge basembolaka maboko mpo na kokata mayi. Nzambe akokitisa lolendo na bango mpe mayele ya maboko na bango;
12 And the fortress of the high fort of thy walls shall he bring down, lay low, and bring to the ground, even to the dust.
akobuka bamir milayi na bino ya makasi mpe akolalisa yango na se; akokweyisa yango na mabele kino ekoma putulu.
