Isaiah 24
1 Behold, the LORD makes the earth empty, and makes it waste, and turns it upside down, and scatters abroad the inhabitants thereof.
Tala, Yawe akobebisa mokili mpe akokomisa yango lokola esobe; akokotisa mobulu kati na yango mpe akopanza bato na yango.
2 And it shall be, as with the people, so with the priest; as with the servant, so with his master; as with the maid, so with her mistress; as with the buyer, so with the seller; as with the lender, so with the borrower; as with the taker of interest, so with the giver of interest to him.
Ekozala mpe kaka ndenge moko mpo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe bato, mpo na nkolo mpe mowumbu na ye, mpo na nkolo ya mwasi mpe mwasi mosali na ye, mpo na moteki mpe mosombi, mpo na modefisi mpe modefi, mpo na moto oyo bakofuta ye niongo mpe mpo na moto oyo akofuta niongo.
3 The land shall be utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled: for the LORD has spoken this word.
Mokili ekobebisama penza nye mpe bakopanza yango nyonso. Yawe nde alobaki yango.
4 The earth mourns and fades away, the world languishes and fades away, the haughty people of the earth do languish.
Mokili ezali na matanga mpe ekawuki, mokili mobimba ebebi mpe ekawuki; ezala likolo mpe ebebi elongo na mokili!
5 The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.
Bato ya mokili bakomisi yango mbindo, bazali kotosa mibeko te; banyati-nyati bikateli mpe babuki boyokani ya seko.
6 Therefore has the curse devoured the earth, and they that dwell therein are desolate: therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and few men left.
Mpo na yango, bilakeli mabe ezali kozikisa mokili; bato na yango bakomema mokumba ya mabe na bango. Yango wana, bato ya mokili bazali kokufa, mpe ndambo moke kaka nde etikali.
7 The new wine mourns, the vine languishes, all the merry hearted do sigh.
Vino ya sika ezali na matanga, elanga ya vino ekawuki; bato nyonso oyo bamesana na esengo bakomi kolela na pasi.
8 The delight of timbrels ceases, the noise of them that rejoice ends, the joy of the harp ceases.
Esengo ya mbonda esili, makelele ya bato ya biyenga esili, esengo ya lindanda esili;
9 They shall not drink wine with a song; strong drink shall be bitter to them that drink it.
komela vino etikali lisusu na banzembo te, masanga ya makasi ekomi bololo mpo na bato oyo bamelaka yango.
10 The city of confusion is broken down: every house is shut up, that no man may come in.
Engumba oyo ebeba etikali pamba, bikuke ya bandako nyonso ekangami.
11 There is a crying for wine in the streets; all joy is darkened, the delight of the land is gone.
Na babalabala, koganga na koganga ete vino ezali lisusu te, kosepela nyonso ebongwani molili, esengo nyonso elongwe na mokili.
12 In the city is left desolation, and the gate is smitten with destruction.
Libebi kaka nde etikali kati na engumba, babuki-buki bikuke na yango na biteni.
13 When thus it shall be in the midst of the land among the people, there shall be as the shaking of an olive tree, and as the gleaning grapes when the vintage is done.
Pamba te ekosalema kati na mokili mpe kati na bikolo ndenge esalemaka tango babukaka bambuma ya olive na nzete to tango balokotaka bambuma ya vino soki basilisi kobuka yango.
14 They shall lift up their voice, they shall sing for the majesty of the LORD, they shall cry aloud from the sea.
Bamoko bakotombola mingongo na bango mpe bakoganga na esengo; wuta na weste ya mayi monene, bakobeta milolo mpo na lokumu na Yawe.
15 Wherefore glorify all of you the LORD in the fires, even the name of the LORD God of Israel in the isles of the sea.
Yango wana, kuna na ngambo ya este, bopesa nkembo na Yawe; bonetola Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, kati na bisanga ya ebale monene.
16 From the uttermost part of the earth have we heard songs, even glory to the righteous. But I said, My leanness, my leanness, woe unto me! the treacherous dealers have dealt treacherously; yea, the treacherous dealers have dealt very treacherously.
Wuta na suka ya mokili, tozali koyoka banzembo: « Nkembo epai ya Nkolo-Na-Bosembo. » Kasi nalobaki: « Nakomi na suka, nakomi na suka! Mawa mpo na ngai! Bazoba bateki mboka, na bozoba penza, bazoba bateki mboka! »
17 Fear, and the pit, and the snare, are upon you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Oh bato ya mokili, somo, libulu mpe motambo ezali kozela bino.
18 And it shall come to pass, that he who flees from the noise of the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that comes up out of the midst of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for the windows from on high are open, and the foundations of the earth do shake.
Moto nyonso oyo akokima na lokito ya somo akokweya na libulu, mpe oyo akoluka kobima kati na libulu akokangama na motambo. Maninisa ya likolo esili kofungwama, makonzi ya mokili ezali koningana.
19 The earth is utterly broken down, the earth is clean dissolved, the earth is moved exceedingly.
Mokili ebukani-bukani, mokili epanzani, mokili eningani makasi.
20 The earth shall reel back and forth like a drunkard, and shall be removed like a cottage; and the transgression thereof shall be heavy upon it; and it shall fall, and not rise again.
Mokili ekomi kotenga-tenga lokola moto oyo alangwe masanga, ezali koningana na mopepe lokola ndako ya matiti. Mokumba ya botomboki na ye ezali likolo na ye, esili kokweya mpe ekotelema lisusu te.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the LORD shall punish the host of the high ones that are on high, and the kings of the earth upon the earth.
Kasi na mokolo wana, Yawe akopesa etumbu na mampinga ya lola kuna na likolo, mpe na bakonzi ya mokili na se.
22 And they shall be gathered together, as prisoners are gathered in the pit, and shall be shut up in the prison, and after many days shall they be visited.
Bakosangisa bango elongo kati na libulu ndenge basangisaka bakangami na boloko, bakokangela bango na boloko mpe bakozwa etumbu sima na mikolo ebele.
23 Then the moon shall be confounded, and the sun ashamed, when the LORD of hosts shall reign in mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before his ancients gloriously.
Sanza ekokoma motane, mpe moyi ekoyoka soni, pamba te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokonza na ngomba Siona mpe kati na Yelusalemi, liboso ya bampaka na yango, na nkembo makasi.
