< Isaiah 6 >

1 In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also YHWH sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple.
Na mobu oyo mokonzi Oziasi akufaki, namonaki Yawe avandi na Kiti moko ya bokonzi, etombwama makasi, bongo basonge ya nzambala na Ye etondisaki Tempelo.
2 Above it stood the seraphims: each one had six wings; with twain he covered his face, and with twain he covered his feet, and with twain he did fly.
Ba-anjelu oyo babengaka baserafe batelemaki na likolo na Ye; moko na moko azalaki na mapapu motoba: mapapu mibale mpo na kozipa elongi, mibale mpo na kozipa makolo mpe mibale mpo na kopumbwa.
3 And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is YHWH of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
Serafe moko na moko azalaki koganga na mosusu: « Bule, Bule, Bule, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! Mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo na Ye! »
4 And the posts of the door moved at the voice of him that cried, and the house was filled with smoke.
Na makelele ya mingongo na bango, mabaya oyo esimbaka bikuke ekomaki koningana, mpe Tempelo etondaki na milinga.
5 Then said I, Woe is me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips: for mine eyes have seen the King, YHWH of hosts.
Nalobaki: « Mawa na ngai! Nabebi na ngai, pamba te nazali moto ya bibebu ya mbindo, navandaka kati na bato oyo bazali na bibebu ya mbindo, mpe miso na ngai emoni Mokonzi, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! »
6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar:
Moko kati na baserafe asimbaki, na loboko na ye, likala ya moto oyo azwaki na etumbelo na bisimbelo, apumbwaki mpe ayaki epai na ngai;
7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this hath touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin purged.
atutisaki likala yango na monoko na ngai mpe alobaki: « Tala, lokola likala oyo etuti bibebu na yo, mabe na yo esili kolongwa, masumu na yo esili kolimbisama. »
8 Also I heard the voice of YHWH, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, Here am I; send me.
Bongo, nayokaki mongongo na Nkolo koloba: — Nakotinda nani? Nani akokende mpo na biso? Nazongisaki: — Ngai oyo, tinda ngai!
9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, Hear ye indeed, but understand not; and see ye indeed, but perceive not.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kende koloba na bato oyo: « Boyoka na bino, kasi bokososola te; botala na bino, kasi bokomona te!
10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and convert, and be healed.
Komisa bato oyo mitema makasi, kanga matoyi na bango mpe zipa miso na bango mpo ete bamona te na miso na bango, bayoka te na matoyi na bango, basosola te na mitema na bango, babongwana te mpe babika te! »
11 Then said I, YHWH, how long? And he answered, Until the cities be wasted without inhabitant, and the houses without man, and the land be utterly desolate,
Boye nalobaki: — Oh Nkolo, kino tango nini? Azongisaki: — Kino bingumba ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te, kino tango bato bakotikala lisusu na bandako te, mpe bilanga ekobebisama mpe bakosakanela yango;
12 And YHWH have removed men far away, and there be a great forsaking in the midst of the land.
kino tango Yawe akotinda bato mosika, kino tango bakobosana penza mokili libela.
13 But yet in it shall be a tenth, and it shall return, and shall be eaten: as a teil tree, and as an oak, whose substance is in them, when they cast their leaves: so the holy seed shall be the substance thereof.
Soki ndambo moko kati na bandambo zomi ya bato ekotikala na mokili, bakobebisama na moto. Kasi ndenge terebente mpe nzete oyo babengaka sheni etikaka misisa na yango soki bakati yango, ndenge wana mpe nkona ya bule ekotika misisa na mokili.
