Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, thou holy city; for no more shall enter into thee henceforth the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Oh Siona, lamuka, lamuka! Tika ete omikomisa lisusu makasi. Yelusalemi, engumba ya bule, lata bilamba na yo ya lokumu, pamba te ezala moto oyo bakata ngenga te to moto ya mbindo, akokota lisusu kati na yo te.
2 Shake thyself free from the dust, arise, sit down, O Jerusalem: loosen thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive, daughter of Zion.
Oh Yelusalemi, milongola na putulu, telema mpe vanda na esika na yo ya lokumu! Oh Siona, mboka kitoko, yo oyo ozali mokangami, kata minyololo na kingo na yo!
3 For thus hath said the Lord, For naught were you sold, and without silver shall ye be redeemed.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Lokola bomitekaki na ofele, bokosikolama mpe na mbongo te. »
4 For thus hath said the Lord Eternal, Into Egypt went my people down aforetimes, to sojourn there, and Asshur hath oppressed it without cause.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Na ebandeli, bato na Ngai bakendeki na Ejipito mpo na kovanda kuna lokola bapaya; mpe na sima, Asiri anyokolaki bango.
5 And now what have I here, saith the Lord, since my people hath been taken away for naught? its rulers vaunt aloud, saith the Lord, and continually, all the day, is my name blasphemed.
Sik’oyo, eloko nini nasili kozwa awa, » elobi Yawe? « Pamba te bamemaki bato na Ngai na pamba, mpe bato oyo bazali kokonza bango bazali koganga makasi, » elobi Yawe, « mpe, mokolo na mokolo mpe tango nyonso, Kombo na Ngai ezali kofingama.
6 Therefore shall my people know my name, therefore on that day, that I am he that speaketh it: here am I.
Yango wana, bato na Ngai bakoyeba Kombo na Ngai; yango wana, na mokolo wana, bakoyeba ete Ngai moko nde nasakolaki yango. Solo, ezali nde Ngai. »
7 How beautiful are upon the mountains the feet of the messenger of good tidings, that publisheth peace, that announceth tidings of happiness, that publisheth salvation, that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth.
Tala ndenge ezali kitoko, na likolo ya bangomba, makolo ya bato oyo basakolaka basango ya malamu, ba-oyo batatolaka kimia, ba-oyo bamemaka basango ya boboto, ba-oyo basakolaka lobiko, ba-oyo balobaka na Siona: « Nzambe na yo azali Mokonzi! »
8 The voice of thy watchmen, —they raise their voice, together shall they shout; for eye to eye shall they see, when the Lord returneth unto Zion.
Yoka! Bakengeli na yo batomboli mingongo; bazali koganga elongo na esengo, pamba te, na miso na bango, bakomona Yawe kozonga lisusu na Siona.
9 Break forth [in song], shout together, ye ruins of Jerusalem; the Lord hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Bino mipiku ya mabanga ya Yelusalemi, boyemba elongo banzembo ya esengo, pamba te Yawe abondisi bato na Ye, asikoli Yelusalemi.
10 The Lord hath made bare his holy arm before the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Yawe asemboli na pole loboko na Ye ya bule na miso ya bikolo nyonso; mpe suka nyonso ya mokili ekomona Lobiko ya Nzambe na biso.
11 Depart ye, depart ye, go out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out from the midst of it; cleanse yourselves, ye bearers of the vessels of the Lord.
Bokende, bokende, bobima awa! Bosimba eloko moko te ya mbindo! Bobima kati na yango mpe bozala peto, bino oyo bomemi bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Yawe!
12 Not in haste shall ye go out, and not in flight shall ye go; for before you goeth the Lord, and your rereward is the God of Israel.
Kasi na mbala oyo, bokobima na kowela te mpe bokokende te lokola bato bazali kokima, pamba te Yawe akotambola liboso na bino mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele akozala Mokengeli na bino na sima.
13 Behold, my servant shall be prosperous, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be placed very high.
Tala, mosali na ngai akosala na bwanya, akotombolama, akomata likolo mpe akonetolama makasi penza.
14 Just as many were astonished at thee, so greatly was his countenance marred more than any [other] man's, and his form more than [that of] the sons of men, —
Ndenge bato mingi bazalaki na somo mpo na ye na ndenge abebaki, elongi na ye etikalaki lisusu te lokola elongi ya moto, mpe lolenge na ye etikalaki lisusu te lokola mwana ya moto nyonso,
15 Thus will he cause many nations to jump up in [astonishment]; at him will kings shut their mouth; for what had not been told unto them shall they see, and what they had never heard shall they understand.
ndenge wana mpe bato ya bikolo bakokamwa, mpe bakonzi bakokanga minoko na bango na tina na ye, pamba te bakomona oyo nanu babetela bango lisolo te mpe bakososola oyo nanu bayoka te.
