Esias 66
1 Thus says the Lord, Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool: what kind of a house will you build me? and of what kind [is to be] the place of my rest?
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ezali Kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi, mpe mabele ezali enyatelo makolo na Ngai. Ndako ya ndenge nini penza bokoki kotongela Ngai? Esika ya bopemi ya ndenge nini penza bokoki kobongisela Ngai?
2 For all these things are mine, says the Lord: and to whom will I have respect, but to the humble and meek, and the [man] that trembles [at] my words?
Boni, loboko na Ngai te nde esalaki biloko oyo nyonso, mpe yango te nde ezalisaki yango nyonso? » elobi Yawe. « Tala moto oyo Ngai nakotala: moto ya mawa, oyo molimo na ye etutami, mpe oyo alengaka liboso ya liloba na Ngai.
3 But the transgressor that sacrifices a calf to me, is as he that kills a dog; and he that offers fine flour, as [one that offers] swine's blood; he that gives frankincense for a memorial, is as a blasphemer. Yet they have chosen their own ways, and their soul has delighted in their abominations.
Moto oyo atumbi mbeka ya ngombe azali lokola ye oyo abomi moto, moto oyo atumbi mbeka ya mwana meme azali lokola ye oyo abuki kingo ya mbwa, moto oyo apesi makabo ya mbuma azali lokola ye oyo abonzi makila ya ngulu, moto oyo atumbi ekaniseli ya malasi ya ansa azali lokola ye oyo apamboli nzambe ya ekeko. Solo, baponi kolanda banzela na bango moko mpe kosepela na makambo na bango ya nkele.
4 I also will choose their mockeries, and will recompense their sins upon them; because I called them, and they did not listen to me; I spoke, and they heard not: and they did evil before me, and chose the things wherein I delighted not.
Boye, Ngai mpe nakotindela bango pasi mpe nakotindela bango pasi oyo babangaka. Pamba te tango nabelelaki, moto moko te ayanolaki; tango nalobaki, moto moko te ayokaki; kasi basalaki makambo mabe na miso na Ngai mpe baponaki makambo oyo esepelisaka Ngai te. »
5 Hear the words of the Lord, you that tremble at his word; speak you, our brethren, to them that hate you and abominate you, that the name of the Lord may be glorified, and may appear their joy; but they shall be ashamed.
Boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bato oyo bolengaka liboso ya liloba na Ye: « Bandeko na bino oyo bayina bino mpe baboya bino likolo ya Kombo na Ngai balobi: ‹ Tika ete Yawe amonisa nkembo na Ye mpo ete tokoka komona esengo na bino! › Kasi bango nde bakosambwa solo.
6 A voice of a cry from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the Lord rendering recompence to [his] adversaries.
Boyoka makelele kobima longwa na engumba, boyoka makelele kobima longwa na Tempelo! Ezali nde mongongo na Yawe oyo azali kofuta banguna na Ye kolanda oyo ekoki na misala na bango.
7 Before she that travailed brought forth, before the travail-pain came on, she escaped [it] and brought forth a male.
Liboso ete ayoka pasi ya kobota, abotaki; liboso ete pasi ya kobota ekomela ye, abotaki mwana mobali.
8 Who has heard such a thing? and who has seen after this manner? Has the earth travailed in one day? or has even a nation been born at once, that Sion has travailed, and brought forth her children?
Nani ayoka likambo ya boye? Nani amona makambo ya boye? Boni, mokili ekoki kobotama na mokolo moko to ekolo ekoki solo kosalema na mbala moko? Nzokande, kaka tango Siona ayoki pasi ya kobota, tala ye wana asili kobota bana na ye.
9 But I have raised this expectation, yet you have not remembered me, says the Lord: behold, have not I made the bearing and barren woman? says your God.
Nakoki solo koyeisa pasi ya kobota mpe kozanga makoki ya kobotisa? » Elobi Yawe. « Nakoki solo kokanga mabota soki nazali kopesa mabota? » elobi Nzambe na yo.
10 Rejoice, O Jerusalem, and all you that love her hold in her a general assembly: rejoice greatly with her, all that [now] mourn over her:
« Bosepela elongo na Yelusalemi mpe botonda na esengo mpo na ye, bino nyonso oyo bolingaka ye; bosepela makasi elongo na ye, bino nyonso oyo bosalelaki ye matanga.
11 that you may suck, and be satisfied with the breast of her consolation; that you may milk out, and delight yourselves with the influx of her glory.
Pamba te bokomela miliki mpe bokotonda mabele na ye, oyo ebondisaka; bokomela penza ndenge esengeli mpe bokozwa esengo kati na bomengo na ye. »
12 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I turn toward them as a river of peace, and as a torrent bringing upon them in a flood the glory of the Gentiles: their children shall be borne upon the shoulders, and comforted on the knees.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakosopela ye kimia lokola ebale, mpe bozwi ya bikolo lokola ebale na tango ya mpela; bokobatelama, bokomemama na maboko na ye mpe akobondela bino na mabolongo na ye.
13 As if his mother should comfort one, so will I also comfort you; and you shall be comforted in Jerusalem.
Ndenge mama abondelaka mwana na ye, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nakobondela bino; mpe bokobondisama mpo na Yelusalemi. »
14 And you shall see, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall thrive like grass: and the hand of the Lord shall be known to them that fear him, and he shall threaten the disobedient.
Tango bokomona yango, mitema na bino ekosepela mpe mikuwa na bino ekozwa makasi ya sika lokola matiti ya mobesu; loboko na Yawe ekoyebana kati na bawumbu na Ye mpe kanda na Ye ekokitela banguna na Ye.
15 For, behold, the Lord will come as fire, and his chariots as a storm, to render his vengeance with wrath, and his rebuke with a flame of fire.
Tala, Yawe azali koya na moto, mpe bashar na Ye ezali lokola mopepe ya kayina; akokitisa kanda na Ye na somo penza mpe akopamela na nzela ya moto.
16 For with the fire of the Lord all the earth shall be judged, and all flesh with his sword: many shall be slain by the Lord.
Yawe akosambisa bato nyonso na nzela ya moto mpe ya mopanga; bongo, bato ebele bakokufa na mopanga, na maboko na Yawe.
17 They that sanctify themselves and purify themselves in the gardens, and eat swine's flesh in the porches, and the abominations, and the mouse, shall be consumed together, says the Lord.
« Bato oyo bamibulisaka mpe bamipetolaka mpo na kokende na bilanga mpe kolanda moto moko oyo azali na kati-kati ya bato oyo baliaka misuni ya bangulu, ya bampuku mpe biloko mosusu ya mbindo, bakokufa bango nyonso elongo, » elobi Yawe.
18 And I [know] their works and their imagination. I am going to gather all nations and tongues; and they shall come, and see my glory.
« Mpe Ngai, likolo ya misala mpe makanisi na bango, nakomi pene ya kosangisa bato ya bikolo mpe nkota nyonso; bongo bakoya mpo na komona nkembo na Ngai.
19 And I will leave a sign upon them, and I will send forth them that have escaped of them to the nations, to Tharsis, and Phud, and Lud, and Mosoch, and to Thobel, and to Greece, and to the isles afar off, to those who have not heard my name, nor seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the Gentiles.
Nakotia elembo kati na bango mpe nakotinda, wuta na bikolo, ndambo ya bato oyo bakobika: na Tarsisi, na Puli mpe na Ludi (bato oyo bayebi kosalela tolotolo malamu), na Tubali mpe na Yavani, na bisanga oyo ezalaka mosika, oyo etikala nanu koyoka sango na Ngai te mpe komona nkembo na Ngai te. Bakotatola nkembo na Ngai kati na bikolo.
20 And they shall bring your brethren out of all nations for a gift to the Lord with horses, and chariots, in litters [drawn by] mules with awnings, to the holy city Jerusalem, said the Lord, as though the children of Israel should bring their sacrifices to me with psalms into the house of the Lord.
Bakomema bandeko na bino nyonso wuta na bikolo nyonso, lokola likabo epai na Yawe, na ngomba na Ngai ya bule, na Yelusalemi, na likolo ya bampunda, ya bashar mpe ya bashareti oyo ekangama, ya mikongo ya bamile mpe ya bashamo, » elobi Yawe. « Bakomema bango ndenge bana ya Isalaele bamemaka makabo na bango ya bambuma, kati na basani ya bule, na Tempelo ya Yawe.
21 And I will take of them priests and Levites, says the Lord.
Mpe nakopona kati na bango, ndambo ya bato mpo ete bazala Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, » elobi Yawe.
22 For as the new heaven and the new earth, which I make, remain before me, says the Lord, so shall your seed and your name continue.
« Ndenge likolo mpe mabele ya sika oyo nasili kosala ekowumela liboso na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « ndenge wana mpe bakitani na bino mpe kombo na bino ekowumela.
23 And it shall come to pass from month to month, and from sabbath to sabbath, [that] all flesh shall come to worship before me in Jerusalem, says the Lord.
Bato ya mokili mobimba bakoya kofukama liboso na Ngai, longwa na feti moko ya ebandeli ya sanza kino na feti mosusu, longwa na Saba moko kino na mosusu, » elobi Yawe,
24 And they shall go forth, and see the carcasses of the men that have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, and their fire shall not be quenched; and they shall be a spectacle to all flesh.
« bakobima mpe bakomona bibembe ya bato oyo batombokelaki Ngai, pamba te bankusu na bango ekokufa te mpe moto na bango ekokufa te; bakopesa moto nyonso somo. »
