Esias 55
1 You that thirst, go to the water, and all that have no money, go [and] buy; and eat [and drink] wine and fat without money or price.
« Bino nyonso oyo bozali na posa ya komela, boya, boya na esika oyo mayi ezali; ezala bino oyo bozali na mbongo te, boya kosomba mpe kolia; boya kosomba vino mpe miliki: ezali ya ofele, ya kosomba na mbongo te!
2 Therefore do you value at the price of money, and [give] your labor for that which will not satisfy? listen to me, and you shall eat that which is good, and your soul shall feast itself on good things.
Mpo na nini bozali kobebisa mbongo mpo na bilei oyo etongaka nzoto te, mpe kobimisa motoki mpo na bilei oyo etondisaka te? Boyoka, boyoka Ngai mpe bolia bilei ya kitoko, mpe bokosepela na biloko ya elengi.
3 Give heed with your ears, and follow my ways: listen to me, and your soul shall live in prosperity; and I will make with you an everlasting covenant, the sure mercies of David.
Bopesa Ngai matoyi na bino mpe boya epai na Ngai, boyoka mpe bokozala na bomoi; nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na bino, boyokani oyo nalakaki Davidi, na boyengebene mpe na bolingo na Ngai.
4 Behold I have made him a testimony among the Gentiles, a prince and commander to the Gentiles.
Tala, nakomisaki ye motatoli na Ngai na miso ya bato ya bikolo ebele, mokambi mpe motambolisi ya bato.
5 Nations which know you not, shall call upon you, and peoples which are not acquainted with you, shall flee to you for refuge, for the sake of the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel; for he has glorified you.
Solo, okobenga bikolo oyo oyebi te, mpe bikolo oyo eyebi yo te ekoya na lombangu epai na yo mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo na Mosantu ya Isalaele, pamba te alatisi yo nkembo. »
6 Seek you the Lord, and when you find him, call upon him; and when he shall draw near to you,
Boluka Yawe wana akoki nanu komonana, bobelela Ye wana azali nanu pene.
7 let the ungodly leave his ways, and the transgressor his counsels: and let him return to the Lord, and he shall find mercy; for he shall abundantly pardon your sins.
Tika ete moto mabe atika banzela na ye, mpe tika ete mosumuki atika makanisi na ye; tika ete azonga epai na Yawe mpo ete ayokela ye mawa, tika ete azonga epai ya Nzambe na biso, pamba te alimbisaka kaka.
8 For my counsels are not as your counsels, nor are my ways as your ways, says the Lord.
« Makanisi na Ngai ezali makanisi na bino te, mpe banzela na Ngai ezali banzela na bino te, » elobi Yawe.
9 But as the heaven is distant from the earth, so is my way distant from your ways, and your thoughts from my mind.
« Pamba te ndenge likolo eleki mosika na mabele, ndenge wana mpe banzela na Ngai ezali likolo koleka banzela na bino, mpe makanisi na Ngai ezali likolo koleka makanisi na bino.
10 For as rain shall come down, or snow, from heaven, and shall not return until it have saturated the earth, and it bring forth, and bud, and give seed to the sower, and bread for food:
Ndenge mvula mpe mvula ya pembe enokaka wuta na likolo mpe ezongaka te na likolo soki epolisi mabele te, soki ebotisi yango bambuma mpe bafololo te, soki epesi nkona te na moloni mpe bilei te na moto oyo aliaka,
11 so shall my word be, whatever shall proceed out of my mouth, it shall by no means turn back, until all the things which I willed shall have been accomplished; and I will make your ways prosperous, and [will effect] my commands.
ndenge wana mpe liloba oyo ebimaka na monoko na Ngai ezalaka: ezongaka pamba te epai na Ngai, soki esali nanu te mokano na Ngai, mpe soki ekokisi nanu te mabongisi oyo natindelaki yango.
12 For you shall go forth with joy, and shall be taught with gladness: for the mountains and the hills shall exult to welcome you with joy, and all the trees of the field shall applaud with their branches.
Bokobima na esengo, mpe bakotambolisa bino na kimia; bangomba milayi mpe bangomba mikuse ekoyemba nzembo ya elonga liboso na bino, mpe banzete nyonso ya zamba ekobeta maboko.
13 And instead of the bramble shall come up the cypress, and instead of the nettle shall come up the myrtle: and the Lord shall be for a name, and for an everlasting sign, and shall not fail.
Nzete ya sipele ekobota na esika ya banzube, nzete ya mirite ekobota na esika ya basende; ekozala, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, elembo ya libela na libela, oyo ekotikala kobebisama te. »
