< Isaiah 32 >

1 Behold, a king reigns for righteousness, As for princes, they rule for judgment.
Tala, mokonzi moko akokonza na bosembo, mpe bakambi na ye bakokamba na solo.
2 And each has been as a hiding place [from] wind, And as a secret hiding place [from] inundation, As streams of waters in a dry place, As a shadow of a heavy rock in a weary land.
Moko na moko kati na bango akozala lokola ekimelo liboso ya mopepe mpe ebombamelo liboso ya mvula ya makasi; akozala lokola miluka ya mayi kati na esobe, lokola elili ya libanga monene kati na mokili ya mabele ekawuka.
3 And the eyes of beholders are not dazzled, And the ears of hearers attend.
Miso ya bato oyo bamonaka ekozipama lisusu te, mpe matoyi ya bato oyo bayokaka ekoyoka malamu.
4 And the heart of those hurried understands to know, And the tongue of stammerers hurries to speak clearly.
Mito ya bato oyo bazangi mayele ekozwa boyebi mpe bososoli, bongo lolemo ya bato ya likukuma ekokoma koloba noki-noki mpe malamu.
5 A fool is no more called “noble,” And to a miser it is not said, “rich”;
Bakobenga lisusu te moto ya lokumu zoba, mpe bakobenga lisusu te moto oyo akabaka moyimi;
6 For a fool speaks folly, And his heart does iniquity, to do profanity, And to speak error concerning YHWH, To empty the soul of the hungry, Indeed, he causes the thirsty to lack [their] drink.
pamba te zoba alobaka kaka na bozoba, motema na ye ekanisaka kaka makambo mabe: atiolaka nzela ya bule, alobaka maloba ya nkele mpo na kotelemela Yawe, atikaka libumu ya moto oyo azali na nzala pamba mpe apesaka te mayi na moto oyo azali na yango posa.
7 And the miser—his instruments [are] evil, He has counseled wicked schemes, To corrupt the poor with lying sayings, Even when the needy speaks justly.
Misala ya moyimi ezalaka mabe, abongisaka kaka miango ya mabe mpo na kopengwisa mobola na maloba ya lokuta na tango oyo mobola azali na mbeba te.
8 And the noble counseled noble things, And he rises up for noble things.
Kasi moto ya lokumu asalaka mabongisi ya lokumu mpe alendaka mpo na misala na ye ya lokumu.
9 Women, easy ones, rise, hear my voice, Daughters, confident ones, give ear [to] my saying,
Bino basi oyo bovandaka na kimia, botelema mpe boyoka ngai; bino bilenge basi oyo bomitungisaka na eloko moko te, boyoka makambo oyo nalingi koloba:
10 In days and a year You are troubled, O confident ones, For harvest has been consumed, The gathering does not come.
Etikali kaka mikolo moke kati na mobu, bino basi oyo bozali na kimia, bokoningana; pamba te tango ya kosangisa milona ya vino esili koleka, mpe tango ya kobuka bambuma ekozala lisusu te.
11 Tremble, you women, you easy ones, Be troubled, you confident ones, Strip and make bare, with a girdle on the loins,
Bolenga, bino basi oyo bovandaka na kimia; boningana, bino bilenge basi oyo bomitungisaka na eloko moko te! Bolongola bilamba na bino mpe botikala bolumbu, bolata basaki na loketo na bino!
12 They are lamenting for breasts, For fields of desire, for the fruitful vine.
Bolela na kobeta tolo mpo na bilanga ya kitoko, mpo na bilanga ya vino oyo ebotaka malamu,
13 Over the ground of my people thorn [and] brier go up, Surely over all houses of joy of the exulting city,
mpe mpo na mokili ya bato na ngai; pamba te mokili oyo eboti basende mpe banzube. Solo, bolela mpo na bandako nyonso ya kitoko mpe mpo na engumba oyo etonda na bisengo,
14 The palace has been left, The multitude of the city forsaken, Fort and watchtower have been for dens for all time, A joy of wild donkeys—a pasture of herds;
pamba te basundoli ndako ya mokonzi; engumba oyo etonda makelele etikali lisusu na bato te, Ofeli mpe ndako molayi ya bakengeli ekomi mpo na libela mabulu ya mabanga mpo na bisengo ya ba-ane ya zamba, mpe ekokoma etando epai wapi bibwele ekobanda kolia matiti,
15 Until the Spirit is emptied out on us from on high, And a wilderness has become a fruitful field, And the fruitful field is reckoned for a forest.
kino tango Molimo akosopanela biso wuta na likolo, bongo esobe ekokoma bilanga oyo ebotaka kitoko; mpe bilanga oyo ebotaka kitoko ekomonana lokola zamba monene.
16 And judgment has dwelt in the wilderness, And righteousness remains in the fruitful field.
Bosembo ekowumela kati na esobe, mpe solo ekozala kati na bilanga oyo ebotaka kitoko.
17 And a work of the righteousness has been peace, And a service of the righteousness—Keeping quiet and confidence for all time.
Mbuma ya bosembo ekozala kimia: bosembo ekobota bopemi mpe bobatelami mpo na libela.
18 And My people have dwelt in a peaceful habitation, And in steadfast dwelling places, And in quiet resting places.
Bato na ngai bakovanda na bandako ya kimia, na bandako ya malonga mpe na bisika ya bopemi ya kimia.
19 And it has hailed in the going down of the forest, And the city is low in the valley.
Na nzela ya mvula ya mabanga oyo ekonoka, zamba mpe engumba ekokitisama na se penza.
20 Blessed [are] you sowing by all waters, Sending forth the foot of the ox and the donkey!
Esengo na bino oyo bozali kolona milona pene na mayi mpe kotinda ngombe mpe ane na bino konyata bisika nyonso.
