Isaiah 5
1 Now will I sing to my beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My beloved has a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
Nakoyemba loyembo mpo na molingami na ngai, loyembo ya molingami na ngai mpo na elanga na ye ya vino. Molingami na ngai azalaki na elanga moko ya vino kati na mabele kitoko oyo ezalaka na mopanzi ya ngomba;
2 And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones thereof, and planted it with the best vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a winepress therein: and he looked that it should bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
abalolaki mabele, alongolaki mabanga, mpe alonaki vino ya kitoko koleka; atongaki kuna ndako molayi ya bakengeli mpe atimolaki ekamolelo ya vino. Akanisaki ete akobuka bambuma ya vino ya kitoko, kasi ebotelaki ye bambuma ya mabe!
3 And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
Sik’oyo, bino bavandi ya Yelusalemi, bato ya Yuda, bokata makambo kati na ngai mpe elanga na ngai ya vino!
4 What could have been done more to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? wherefore, when I looked that it should bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
Nasala penza eloko nini, mpo na elanga na ngai ya vino, oyo natikala nanu kosalela yango te? Mpo na nini eboteli ngai bambuma ya mabe, tango ngai nakanisaki ete ekobotela ngai bambuma ya malamu?
5 And now go to; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away the hedge thereof, and it shall be eaten up; and break down the wall thereof, and it shall be trodden down:
Sik’oyo, nakoloba na bino makambo oyo nakosala na elanga na ngai ya vino: Nakokweyisa lopango na yango, mpe ekobebisama; nakotobola madusu kati na bamir na yango, mpe baleki nzela bakokoma konyata-nyata yango.
6 And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor dug; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
Nakokomisa yango esobe: kati na yango, bakolongola lisusu te, ezala mabanga to matiti; bongo banzube mpe basende ekokola kuna. Nakopesa mitindo na mapata ete enokisela yango lisusu mvula te.
7 For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts is the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
Nzokande, elanga ya vino ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ezali nde libota ya Isalaele, mpe bato ya Yuda bazali elanga oyo ezalaki kosepelisa Ye. Azalaki kozela bosembo, kasi amonaki nde makila; makambo ya alima, kasi ayokaki nde kolela ya pasi.
8 Woe unto them that join house to house, that lay field to field, till there be no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
Mawa na bino bato oyo bobakisaka ndako likolo ya ndako, elanga pembeni ya elanga, kino bokangaka bisika nyonso mpe botikalaka kaka bino moko na mokili!
9 In mine ears said the LORD of hosts, Truthfully many houses shall be desolate, even great and fair, without inhabitant.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobaki na ngai: « Solo, bandako minene ekotikala pamba, bandako kitoko ekozanga bato ya kovanda kati na yango.
10 Yea, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of an homer shall yield an ephah.
Pamba te elanga ya vino ya ba-ekitare mibale ekobimisa kaka bisangala minei ya vino, bakilo nkama mibale na tuku mibale ya milona ya ble ekobimisa kaka bakilo tuku mibale na mibale. »
11 Woe unto them that rise up early in the morning, that they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, till wine inflame them!
Mawa na bato oyo balamukaka na tongo-tongo mpo na kowumela liboso ya masanga ya vino kino na butu, kino tango bakolangwa masanga!
12 And the harp, and the viol, the timbrel, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
Bazali na mandanda, banzenze, masanga ya vino, bambunda mike mpe baflite mpo na kosepelisa bafeti na bango, kasi bakanisaka te mosala na Yawe mpe bazalaka na limemia te mpo na misala ya maboko na Ye.
13 Therefore my people are gone into captivity, because they have no knowledge: and their honourable men are famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
Yango wana, bato na Ngai bakokende na bowumbu mpo na kozanga boyebi; bato na bango ya lokumu bakokufa na nzala, mpe bato pamba bakokufa na posa ya mayi.
14 Therefore hell has enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoices, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
Boye, mboka ya bakufi ekoyoka nzala makasi mpe ekofungola monoko na yango makasi; bato ya lokumu elongo na bato pamba ya engumba bakokita kuna nzela moko mpe na loyenge na bango. (Sheol h7585)
15 And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be humbled:
Moto akokitisama, bato ya mokili bakoyokisama soni, mpe bilongi ya bato ya lolendo ekotala na se.
16 But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
Kasi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akonetolama na nzela ya bosembo na Ye, mpe Nzambe Mosantu akolakisa bosantu na Ye na nzela ya boyengebene na Ye.
17 Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
Bameme ekokoma kolia matiti lokola nde ezali kati na elanga na yango moko, bapaya bakozwa bomengo oyo bazwi bakotika.
18 Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope:
Mawa na bato oyo babendaka masumu na basinga ya makambo ya lokuta, mpe mabe lokola nde bazali kobenda shario na basheni!
19 That say, Let him make speed, and hasten his work, that we may see it: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know it!
Mawa na bato oyo balobaka: « Tika ete Nzambe asala noki, tika ete asala na lombangu mosala na Ye mpo ete tomona yango! Tika ete mabongisi ya Mosantu ya Isalaele ebelema mpe ekokisama mpo ete tokoka koyeba yango! »
20 Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Mawa na bato oyo babengaka mabe malamu mpe malamu mabe, oyo bamonaka molili lokola pole mpe pole lokola molili, oyo bamonaka bololo lokola elengi mpe elengi lokola bololo!
21 Woe unto them that are wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
Mawa na bato oyo bamimonaka lokola bato ya bwanya na miso na bango moko, mpe na bato oyo bamimonaka lokola bato ya mayele na miso na bango moko!
22 Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
Mawa na bato oyo bakenda sango ya komela vino mpe ya kosangisa masanga ya makasi:
23 Which justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
bazwaka kanyaka mpo na kolongisa moto mabe mpe bazangisaka na moto ya sembo bosembo na ye!
24 Therefore as the fire devours the stubble, and the flame consumes the chaff, so their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
Yango wana, ndenge ndemo ya moto ezikisaka matiti, mpe ndenge matiti ya kokawuka esilaka na moto, ndenge wana mpe misisa na bango ekopola mpe bafololo na bango ekopumbwa lokola putulu, pamba te babwakaki Mobeko na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpe batiolaki liloba ya Mosantu ya Isalaele.
25 Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he has stretched forth his hand against them, and has smitten them: and the hills did tremble, and their carcasses were torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand is stretched out still.
Yango wana, Yawe atombokeli bato na Ye, asemboli loboko na Ye mpe abeti bango; bangomba eningani, bibembe na bango etondi lokola bafulu na balabala. Kasi ata bongo, kanda na Ye ekiti kaka te, loboko na Ye etikali kaka ya kosembolama.
26 And he will lift up an explicit sign to the nations from far, and will hiss unto them from the end of the earth: and, behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
Yawe atomboli bendele mpo na bikolo oyo ezali mosika, azali kobeta piololo mpo na kobenga bato oyo bazali na suka ya mokili: tala bango wana, bazali koya na lombangu mpe noki!
27 None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
Moko te kati na bango asili kolemba nzoto to abeti libaku, moko te azali konimba to kolala pongi. Moko te alongoli mokaba na ye na loketo, singa moko te ya basapato na bango etikali kokatana.
28 Whose arrows are sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
Bambanzi na bango ezali songe, batolotolo na bango nyonso ebendana makasi; makolo ya bampunda na bango ezali lokola mabanga, bapine ya bashar na bango ezali lokola mopepe makasi.
29 Their roaring shall be like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yea, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry it away safe, and none shall deliver it.
Koganga na bango ezali lokola koganga ya bankosi: bagangaka lokola bana nkosi, bagangaka soki bakangi nyama na bango, bamemaka yango na esika ya kimia, mpe moto moko te akokaka kobotola bango yango.
30 And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if one look unto the land, behold darkness and sorrow, and the light is darkened in the heavens thereof.
Na mokolo wana, bakoganga likolo na bango lokola makelele ya ebale monene. Mpe soki moto atali kati na mokili, akomona molili mpe minyoko: pole ekozipama na se ya mapata.
