Isaiah 37
1 And it came to pass, when king Hezekiah heard it, that he rent his clothes, and covered himself with sackcloth, and went into the house of Yhwh.
Tango mokonzi Ezekiasi ayokaki bongo, apasolaki bilamba na ye, alataki basaki mpe akotaki na Tempelo ya Yawe.
2 And he sent Eliakim, who was over the household, and Shebna the scribe, and the elders of the priests covered with sackcloth, unto Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz.
Atindaki epai ya mosakoli Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, Eliakimi, mobateli biloko ya ndako ya mokonzi; Shebina, mokomi mikanda, mpe Banganga-Nzambe ya mikolo; bango nyonso balata bilamba ya basaki.
3 And they said unto him, Thus saith Hezekiah, This day is a day of trouble, and of rebuke, and of blasphemy: for the children are come to the birth, and there is not strength to bring forth.
Balobaki na ye: « Tala makambo oyo Ezekiasi alobi: ‹ Mokolo ya lelo ezali mokolo ya pasi, mokolo ya etumbu mpe mokolo ya soni, pamba te tokomi lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota kasi azangi makasi ya kobimisa mwana.
4 It may be Yhwh thy God will hear the words of Rabshakeh, whom the king of Assyria his master hath sent to reproach the living God, and will reprove the words which Yhwh thy God hath heard: wherefore lift up thy prayer for the remnant that is left.
Tango mosusu Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akoyoka maloba ya mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi, oyo nkolo na ye, mokonzi ya Asiri, atindaki mpo na kosambwisa Nzambe na bomoi; mpe tango mosusu akopesa ye etumbu mpo na maloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ayokaki! Boye, sambela mpo na ndambo ya bato oyo bazali nanu na bomoi. › »
5 So the servants of king Hezekiah came to Isaiah.
Tango bakalaka ya mokonzi Ezekiasi bakomaki epai ya Ezayi,
6 And Isaiah said unto them, Thus shall ye say unto your master, Thus saith Yhwh, Be not afraid of the words that thou hast heard, wherewith the servants of the king of Assyria have blasphemed me.
Ezayi alobaki na bango: « Boloba na nkolo na bino: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Kobanga te mpo na makambo oyo oyoki, maloba oyo basali ya mokonzi ya Asiri bazali koloba mpo na kosambwisa Ngai.
7 Behold, I will send a blast upon him, and he shall hear a rumour, and return to his own land; and I will cause him to fall by the sword in his own land.
Tala, nakotia molimo moko kati na ye mpo ete, tango akoyoka sango ya makambo oyo ezali koleka na mboka na ye, azonga na mokili na ye; mpe ekozala kuna, na mokili na ye, nde nakobomisa ye na mopanga. › »
8 So Rabshakeh returned, and found the king of Assyria warring against Libnah: for he had heard that he was departed from Lachish.
Tango mokonzi ya basoda oyo bakengelaka mokonzi ya Asiri ayokaki ete mokonzi na ye alongwe na engumba Lakishi, azongaki mpe akutaki mokonzi na ye azali kobundisa engumba Libina.
9 And he heard say concerning Tirhakah king of Ethiopia, He is come forth to make war with thee. And when he heard it, he sent messengers to Hezekiah, saying,
Sima na mokonzi ya Asiri koyoka sango na tina na Tiraka, mokonzi ya Kushi, ete azali koya kobundisa ye, atindaki bantoma epai ya Ezekiasi na maloba oyo:
10 Thus shall ye speak to Hezekiah king of Judah, saying, Let not thy God, in whom thou trustest, deceive thee, saying, Jerusalem shall not be given into the hand of the king of Assyria.
« Boyebisa Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: ‹ Kotika te ete Nzambe na yo, oyo otielaka motema akosa yo na maloba oyo: ‘Yelusalemi ekokweya te na maboko ya mokonzi ya Asiri.’
11 Behold, thou hast heard what the kings of Assyria have done to all lands by destroying them utterly; and shalt thou be delivered?
Oyokaki makambo oyo bakonzi ya Asiri basalaki bikolo nyonso mpe ndenge nini babebisaki yango nye; okanisi ete yo nde okobika?
12 Have the gods of the nations delivered them which my fathers have destroyed, as Gozan, and Haran, and Rezeph, and the children of Eden which were in Telassar?
Tango batata na ngai babebisaki Gozani, Arani, Retsefi mpe bato ya Edeni oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na Telasari, boni, banzambe ya bikolo yango, bakangolaki yango?
13 Where is the king of Hamath, and the king of Arphad, and the king of the city of Sepharvaim, Hena, and Ivah?
Wapi mokonzi ya Amati, ya Aripadi, ya Layiri, ya engumba Sefarivayimi, ya Ena mpe ya Iva? › »
14 And Hezekiah received the letter from the hand of the messengers, and read it: and Hezekiah went up unto the house of Yhwh, and spread it before Yhwh.
Sima na Ezekiasi kozwa mokanda kowuta na maboko ya bantoma, atangaki yango, akendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe afungolaki mokanda yango liboso ya Yawe.
15 And Hezekiah prayed unto Yhwh, saying,
Mpe Ezekiasi asambelaki Yawe:
16 O Yhwh of Armies, God of Israel, that dwellest between the cherubims, thou art the God, even thou alone, of all the kingdoms of the earth: thou hast made heaven and earth.
« Oh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele! Yo oyo ovandi likolo ya basheribe, ozali Nzambe kaka moko na likolo ya mikili nyonso ya mabele; Yo nde osala Likolo mpe mabele.
17 Incline thine ear, O Yhwh, and hear; open thine eyes, O Yhwh, and see: and hear all the words of Sennacherib, which hath sent to reproach the living God.
Oh Yawe, pesa litoyi mpe yoka; Yawe, fungola miso mpe mona! Yoka maloba nyonso oyo Senakeribe atindi mpo na kosambwisa Nzambe na bomoi.
18 Of a truth, Yhwh, the kings of Assyria have laid waste all the nations, and their countries,
Oh Yawe, ezali ya solo ete bakonzi ya Asiri babebisaki bikolo nyonso mpe mikili na bango.
19 And have cast their gods into the fire: for they were no gods, but the work of men’s hands, wood and stone: therefore they have destroyed them.
Bazikisaki banzambe na bango na moto, pamba te banzambe yango ezalaki Nzambe te, kasi banzete to mpe mabanga ya pamba oyo esalemi na maboko ya bato.
20 Now therefore, O Yhwh our God, save us from his hand, that all the kingdoms of the earth may know that thou art Yhwh, even thou only.
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, bikisa biso na maboko na ye, mpo ete mikili nyonso ya mabele eyeba solo ete Yo moko kaka, Yawe, nde ozali Nzambe. »
21 Then Isaiah the son of Amoz sent unto Hezekiah, saying, Thus saith Yhwh God of Israel, Whereas thou hast prayed to me against Sennacherib king of Assyria:
Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, atindelaki Ezekiasi maloba oyo: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Mpo ete osambelaki Ngai na tina na Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri,
22 This is the word which Yhwh hath spoken concerning him; The virgin, the daughter of Zion, hath despised thee, and laughed thee to scorn; the daughter of Jerusalem hath shaken her head at thee.
tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na kotelemela ye: Siona, mboka kitoko, ezali kotiola yo mpe koseka yo. Yelusalemi, mboka kitoko, ezali koningisa moto mpo na kotiola yo.
23 Whom hast thou reproached and blasphemed? and against whom hast thou exalted thy voice, and lifted up thine eyes on high? even against the Holy One of Israel.
Nani oyo ofingaki mpe otiolaki? Nani oyo omatiselaki mongongo mpe otalaki na miso ya lolendo? Mosantu ya Isalaele!
24 By thy servants hast thou reproached the Lord, and hast said, By the multitude of my chariots am I come up to the height of the mountains, to the sides of Lebanon; and I will cut down the tall cedars thereof, and the choice fir trees thereof: and I will enter into the height of his border, and the forest of his Carmel.
Na nzela ya bantoma na yo, ofingaki Nkolo mpe olobaki: ‹ Na lisungi ya ebele ya bashar na ngai, namataki kino na basonge ya bangomba, kino na basonge oyo eleki likolo kati na Libani; nakweyisaki banzete na yango ya sedele oyo eleki milayi, banzete na yango ya sipele oyo eleki kitoko, mpe nakomaki kino na songe na yango ya suka, na zamba na yango oyo eleki kitoko;
25 I have digged, and drunk water; and with the sole of my feet have I dried up all the rivers of the besieged places.
natimolaki mabulu ya mayi mpe namelaki mayi; na matambe ya makolo na ngai, nakawusaki miluka nyonso ya Ejipito. ›
26 Hast thou not heard long ago, how I have done it; and of ancient times, that I have formed it? now have I brought it to pass, that thou shouldest be to lay waste defenced cities into ruinous heaps.
Oyoka nanu yango te? Nasalaki mabongisi ya makambo oyo wuta kala, nabongisaki yango wuta na mikolo oyo eleka kala; sik’oyo nde nakokisi yango. Esengeli na yo kokomisa bingumba ya makasi mipiku ya mabanga.
27 Therefore their inhabitants were of small power, they were dismayed and confounded: they were as the grass of the field, and as the green herb, as the grass on the housetops, and as grain blasted before it be grown up.
Bato na yango bazangi makasi, balengi na somo mpe bakomi na soni, bakomi lokola matiti ya bilanga, lokola matiti ya langi ya mayi ya pondu, lokola matiti oyo ebotaka na mitondo ya bandako, ekawuka liboso ete ekola.
28 But I know thy abode, and thy going out, and thy coming in, and thy rage against me.
Nayebi esika nini ozalaka, tango nini obimaka, tango nini ozongaka, mpe tango nini otombokelaka Ngai.
29 Because thy rage against me, and thy tumult, is come up into mine ears, therefore will I put my hook in thy nose, and my bridle in thy lips, and I will turn thee back by the way by which thou camest.
Lokola otombokelaka Ngai, mpe lofundu na yo ekomi kino na matoyi na Ngai, nakotia lopete na Ngai na zolo na yo, nakokanga yo singa na bibebu ndenge bakangaka mpunda monoko, mpe nakozongisa yo na nzela oyo oyelaki.
30 And this shall be a sign unto thee, Ye shall eat this year such as groweth of itself; and the second year that which springeth of the same: and in the third year sow ye, and reap, and plant vineyards, and eat the fruit thereof.
Oh Ezekiasi, tala oyo ekozala elembo mpo na yo: Na mobu oyo, bokolia biloko oyo ekobima na nkona oyo ekweyaki na mabele; na mobu oyo ekolanda, bokolia biloko oyo ebotaka yango moko. Kasi na mobu ya misato, bokolona mpe bokobuka bambuma, bokolona banzete ya vino mpe bokolia bambuma na yango.
31 And the remnant that is escaped of the house of Judah shall again take root downward, and bear fruit upward:
Bato ya Yuda oyo bakobika, oyo bakotikala, bakozala lokola nzete oyo ekotisi misisa na yango ya sika kati na mabele mpe eboti bambuma.
32 For out of Jerusalem shall go forth a remnant, and they that escape out of mount Zion: the zeal of Yhwh of Armies shall do this.
Pamba te, na Yelusalemi, ndambo ya bato bakotikala; mpe na Siona, mwa ndambo bakobika. Bolingo makasi na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, nde ekokokisa yango.
33 Therefore thus saith Yhwh concerning the king of Assyria, He shall not come into this city, nor shoot an arrow there, nor come before it with shields, nor cast a bank against it.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na mokonzi ya Asiri: ‹ Akokota na engumba oyo te, akobeta kuna ata mbanzi moko te, akobundisa yango na banguba te mpe akomatisa ata mabele te liboso na yango mpo na komibomba.
34 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and shall not come into this city, saith Yhwh.
Akozongela na nzela oyo ayelaki mpe akokota na engumba oyo te, › elobi Yawe.
35 For I will defend this city to save it for mine own sake, and for my servant David’s sake.
‹ Nakobatela engumba oyo mpe nakobikisa yango mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe mpo na lokumu ya Davidi, mosali na Ngai. › »
36 Then the angel of Yhwh went forth, and smote in the camp of the Assyrians a hundred and fourscore and five thousand: and when they arose early in the morning, behold, they were all dead corpses.
Boye, anjelu na Yawe abimaki mpe abomaki bato nkoto nkama moko na tuku mwambe na mitano kati na molako ya bato ya Asiri. Tango bato balamukaki na tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, bakutaki kaka bibembe.
37 So Sennacherib king of Assyria departed, and went and returned, and dwelt at Nineveh.
Boye, Senakeribe, mokonzi ya Asiri, alongolaki molako, azongaki na Ninive mpe akomaki kovanda kuna.
38 And it came to pass, as he was worshipping in the house of Nisroch his god, that Adrammelech and Sharezer his sons smote him with the sword; and they escaped into the land of Armenia: and Esar–haddon his son reigned in his stead.
Mokolo moko, wana azalaki kogumbamela nzambe na ye, Nisiroki, kati na tempelo ya nzambe yango, bana na ye ya mibali, Adrameleki mpe Saretseri babomaki ye na mopanga mpe bakimaki na Ararati. Bongo, mwana na ye ya mobali, Esari-Adoni, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
