< Isaiah 24 >

1 Behold, YHWH is emptying the earth, And is making it desolate, And has overturned [it on] its face, And has scattered its inhabitants.
Tala, Yawe akobebisa mokili mpe akokomisa yango lokola esobe; akokotisa mobulu kati na yango mpe akopanza bato na yango.
2 And it has been—as a people so a priest, As the servant so his master, As the maidservant so her mistress, As the buyer so the seller, As the lender so the borrower, As the usurer so he who is lifting [it] on himself.
Ekozala mpe kaka ndenge moko mpo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe bato, mpo na nkolo mpe mowumbu na ye, mpo na nkolo ya mwasi mpe mwasi mosali na ye, mpo na moteki mpe mosombi, mpo na modefisi mpe modefi, mpo na moto oyo bakofuta ye niongo mpe mpo na moto oyo akofuta niongo.
3 The earth is utterly emptied, and utterly spoiled, For YHWH has spoken this word:
Mokili ekobebisama penza nye mpe bakopanza yango nyonso. Yawe nde alobaki yango.
4 The earth has mourned, faded, The world has languished, faded, They have languished—the high place of the people of the earth.
Mokili ezali na matanga mpe ekawuki, mokili mobimba ebebi mpe ekawuki; ezala likolo mpe ebebi elongo na mokili!
5 And the earth has been defiled under its inhabitants, Because they have transgressed laws, They have changed a statute, They have made void a perpetual covenant.
Bato ya mokili bakomisi yango mbindo, bazali kotosa mibeko te; banyati-nyati bikateli mpe babuki boyokani ya seko.
6 Therefore a curse has consumed the earth, And the inhabitants in it become desolate, Therefore inhabitants of the earth have been consumed, And few men have been left.
Mpo na yango, bilakeli mabe ezali kozikisa mokili; bato na yango bakomema mokumba ya mabe na bango. Yango wana, bato ya mokili bazali kokufa, mpe ndambo moke kaka nde etikali.
7 The new wine has mourned, the vine languished, All the joyful of heart have sighed.
Vino ya sika ezali na matanga, elanga ya vino ekawuki; bato nyonso oyo bamesana na esengo bakomi kolela na pasi.
8 The joy of tambourines has ceased, The noise of exulting ones has ceased, The joy of a harp has ceased.
Esengo ya mbonda esili, makelele ya bato ya biyenga esili, esengo ya lindanda esili;
9 They do not drink wine with a song, Strong drink is bitter to those drinking it.
komela vino etikali lisusu na banzembo te, masanga ya makasi ekomi bololo mpo na bato oyo bamelaka yango.
10 It was broken down—a city of emptiness, Every house has been shut from [its] entrance.
Engumba oyo ebeba etikali pamba, bikuke ya bandako nyonso ekangami.
11 In out-places [is] a cry over the wine, All joy has been darkened, The joy of the land has been removed.
Na babalabala, koganga na koganga ete vino ezali lisusu te, kosepela nyonso ebongwani molili, esengo nyonso elongwe na mokili.
12 Desolation [is] left in the city, And the gate is struck [with] ruin.
Libebi kaka nde etikali kati na engumba, babuki-buki bikuke na yango na biteni.
13 When thus it is in the heart of the land, In the midst of the peoples, As the surrounding of the olive, As gleanings when harvest has been finished,
Pamba te ekosalema kati na mokili mpe kati na bikolo ndenge esalemaka tango babukaka bambuma ya olive na nzete to tango balokotaka bambuma ya vino soki basilisi kobuka yango.
14 They lift up their voice, They sing of the excellence of YHWH, They have cried aloud from the sea.
Bamoko bakotombola mingongo na bango mpe bakoganga na esengo; wuta na weste ya mayi monene, bakobeta milolo mpo na lokumu na Yawe.
15 Therefore honor YHWH in prosperity, In islands of the sea, the Name of YHWH, God of Israel.
Yango wana, kuna na ngambo ya este, bopesa nkembo na Yawe; bonetola Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, kati na bisanga ya ebale monene.
16 From the skirt of the earth we heard songs, The desire of the righteous. And I say, “Leanness [is] to me, Leanness [is] to me, woe [is] to me.” Treacherous dealers dealt treacherously, Indeed, treachery, treacherous dealers dealt treacherously.
Wuta na suka ya mokili, tozali koyoka banzembo: « Nkembo epai ya Nkolo-Na-Bosembo. » Kasi nalobaki: « Nakomi na suka, nakomi na suka! Mawa mpo na ngai! Bazoba bateki mboka, na bozoba penza, bazoba bateki mboka! »
17 Fear, and a snare, and a trap, [Are] on you, O inhabitant of the earth.
Oh bato ya mokili, somo, libulu mpe motambo ezali kozela bino.
18 And it has come to pass, He who is fleeing from the noise of the fear falls into the snare, And he who is coming up from the midst of the snare, Is captured by the trap, For windows have been opened on high, And foundations of the earth are shaken.
Moto nyonso oyo akokima na lokito ya somo akokweya na libulu, mpe oyo akoluka kobima kati na libulu akokangama na motambo. Maninisa ya likolo esili kofungwama, makonzi ya mokili ezali koningana.
19 The earth has been utterly broken down, The earth has been utterly broken, The earth has been utterly moved.
Mokili ebukani-bukani, mokili epanzani, mokili eningani makasi.
20 The earth staggers greatly as a drunkard, And it has been moved as a lodge, And its transgression has been heavy on it, And it has fallen, and does not add to rise.
Mokili ekomi kotenga-tenga lokola moto oyo alangwe masanga, ezali koningana na mopepe lokola ndako ya matiti. Mokumba ya botomboki na ye ezali likolo na ye, esili kokweya mpe ekotelema lisusu te.
21 And it has come to pass in that day, YHWH lays a charge on the host of the high place in the high place, And on the kings of the earth on the earth.
Kasi na mokolo wana, Yawe akopesa etumbu na mampinga ya lola kuna na likolo, mpe na bakonzi ya mokili na se.
22 And they have been gathered—A gathering of bound ones in a pit, And they have been shut up in a prison, And after a multitude of days are inspected.
Bakosangisa bango elongo kati na libulu ndenge basangisaka bakangami na boloko, bakokangela bango na boloko mpe bakozwa etumbu sima na mikolo ebele.
23 And the moon has been confounded, And the sun has been ashamed, For YHWH of Hosts has reigned In Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, And before His elderly—glory!
Sanza ekokoma motane, mpe moyi ekoyoka soni, pamba te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokonza na ngomba Siona mpe kati na Yelusalemi, liboso ya bampaka na yango, na nkembo makasi.
