Isaiah 18
1 Behold, land shadowed [with] wings, That [is] beyond the rivers of Cush,
Mawa na mokili oyo ezali na bamasuwa oyo ezalaka na bavwale lokola mabanki, bongo enanaka na ebale ya Kushi!
2 That is sending ambassadors by sea, Even with implements of reed on the face of the waters—Go, swift messengers, To a nation drawn out and peeled, To a people fearful from its beginning and onward, A nation meeting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled.
Mawa na yo oyo otindaka bantoma na nzela ya ebale kati na bamasuwa oyo basala na papirisi, na likolo ya ebale monene! Bino bapanzi sango ya mbangu, bokende epai ya bato ya ekolo oyo bazalaka milayi mpe baposo ya nzoto na bango engengaka, epai ya bato ya ekolo oyo babangisaka na mosika, bato ya makasi oyo banyataka banguna na bango, mpe oyo bibale eleka kati na mokili na bango.
3 All you inhabitants of the world, And you dwellers of earth, At the lifting up of an ensign on hills you look, And at the blowing of a horn you hear.
Bino nyonso, bavandi ya mokili, bino oyo botondisi mabele, tango bakotombola bendele na likolo ya bangomba, bokomona; tango bakobeta kelelo, bokoyoka!
4 For thus said YHWH to me: “I rest, and I look on My settled place, As a clear heat on an herb. As a thick cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na ngai: « Nakovanda kimia mpe nakotala wuta na ndako na Ngai, lokola kongala ya moyi to lokola mapata na tango ya molunge. »
5 For before harvest, when the flower is perfect, And the blossom is producing unripe fruit, Then [One] has cut the sprigs with pruning hooks, And the branches He has turned aside, cut down.
Mpo ete liboso ya kobuka bambuma, tango bafololo ya mike etikaka kobima mpe ekomaka bambuma mibesu oyo ekomi pene ya kotela, bakataka bitape na likwangola, babwakaka mpe batiaka pembeni bitape.
6 They are left together to the ravenous bird of the mountains, And to the beast of the earth, And the ravenous bird has summered on them, And every beast of the earth winters on them.
Bakosundola yango epai ya bandeke oyo eliaka misuni na likolo ya bangomba mpe epai ya banyama ya zamba. Bandeke minene ekolia yango na tango ya molunge mpe banyama ya zamba ekolia yango na tango ya malili.
7 At that time a present is brought to YHWH of Hosts, A nation drawn out and peeled. Even of a people fearful from the beginning until now, A nation meting out by line, and treading down, Whose land floods have spoiled, To the place of the Name of YHWH of Hosts—Mount Zion!”
Na tango wana, bakomema bakado epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, wuta epai ya ekolo ya bato milayi oyo poso ya nzoto na bango engengaka, wuta epai ya ekolo ya bato oyo babangisaka na mosika, bato ya makasi oyo banyataka banguna na bango, mpe oyo bibale eleka kati na mokili na bango, bakomema bakado yango na ngomba Siona, esika oyo Kombo ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ezalaka.
