Isaiah 33
1 Woe, spoiler! And you not spoiled, And treacherous! And they did not deal treacherously with you, When you finish, O spoiler, you are spoiled, When you finish dealing treacherously, They deal treacherously with you.
Oh mobebisi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu obebisama te! Oh mofundi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu bafunda te! Tango okosilisa kobebisa, yo mpe bakobebisa yo, tango okosilisa kofunda, yo mpe bakofunda yo.
2 O YHWH, favor us, We have waited for You, Be their arm, in the mornings, Indeed, our salvation in time of adversity.
Oh Yawe, yokela biso mawa, tozali kotalela Yo! Tongo nyonso, zala makasi na biso, zala lobiko na biso na tango ya pasi!
3 From the voice of a multitude peoples have fled, From Your exaltation nations have been scattered.
Kaka na lokito ya mongongo na Yo, bato bakimaka; soki otelemi, bikolo epalanganaka.
4 And Your spoil has been gathered, A gathering of the caterpillar, As a running to and fro of locusts He is running on it.
Oh bikolo, bakolokota bomengo na bino ya bitumba ndenge balokotaka mankoko; bakosopanela yango na elulu ndenge mabanki esalaka.
5 YHWH is set on high, for He is dwelling on high, He filled Zion [with] judgment and righteousness,
Yawe anetolami mpo ete avandaka na likolo, akotondisa Siona na bosembo mpe na solo.
6 And has been the steadfastness of your times, The strength of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge, Fear of YHWH—it [is] His treasure.
Mikolo ya bomoi na yo ekozala na kimia; bwanya mpe boyebi ekozala bomengo ya lobiko na yo; kotosa Yawe, yango nde bozwi na yo.
7 Behold, “Their Ariel,” they have cried outside, Messengers of peace weep bitterly.
Tala, basoda na bango ya mpiko bazali koganga makasi na balabala; bamemi sango ya kimia, azali kolela makasi.
8 Highways have been desolated, He who passes along the path has ceased, He has broken covenant, He has despised enemies, He has not esteemed a man.
Nzela ya minene esili kokawuka, ata moto moko te ya mobembo azali koleka. Mobebisi abuki boyokani, asambwisi bingumba mpe azali na botosi ya moto ata moko te.
9 The land has mourned, languished, Lebanon has been confounded, Sharon has been withered as a wilderness, And Bashan and Carmel are shaking.
Mokili ezali na matanga, esili kolemba nzoto, Libani esambwe na soni mpe elembi-lembi lokola fololo, Saroni ekomi lokola esobe mpe Bashani mpe Karimeli ekweyisi makasa na yango.
10 Now I arise, says YHWH, Now I am exalted, now I am lifted up.
« Sik’oyo nakotelema, » elobi Yawe. « Sik’oyo nakonetolama, sik’oyo nakotombolama.
11 You conceive chaff, you bear stubble; Your spirit—a fire [that] devours you.
Mabongisi ya mitema na bino ezali kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka mpe soki ekokisami, ezalaka kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka, pema na bino moko ekozikisa bino lokola moto.
12 And peoples have been [as] burnings of lime, Thorns, as sweepings, they burn with fire.
Bato bakozika na libanga ya moto, ndenge nzube oyo bakata ezikaka na moto. »
13 Hear, you far off, that which I have done, And know, you near ones, My might.
Bino bato oyo bozali mosika, boyoka makambo oyo nazali kosala, bino bato oyo bozali pene, bososola nguya na ngai!
14 Sinners have been afraid in Zion, Trembling has seized the profane: Who dwells for us—consuming fire, Who dwells for us—burnings of the age?
Bato ya masumu bazali kolenga kati na Siona, somo ekangi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe te: « Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo ezikisaka? Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo epelaka tango nyonso? »
15 Whoever is walking righteously, And is speaking uprightly, Kicking against gain of oppressions, Shaking his hands from taking hold on a bribe, Stopping his ear from hearing of blood, And shutting his eyes from looking on evil,
Moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo mpe alobaka solo, moto oyo abwakaka litomba oyo ezwami na nzela ya moyibi, moto oyo asembolaka maboko na ye te mpo na kozwa kanyaka, moto oyo akangaka matoyi na ye mpo na koboya koyoka masolo ya koboma bato, mpe oyo akangaka miso na ye mpo na koboya komona mabe.
16 He inhabits high places, Strongholds of rock [are] his high tower, His bread has been given, his waters steadfast.
Moto wana akovanda na likolo: mabanga ya makasi ekozala ekimelo na ye. Akozanga te lipa ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela.
17 Your eyes see a king in his beauty, They see a far-off land.
Miso na yo ekomona Mokonzi na kitoko na Ye nyonso mpe ekomona ndenge mokili ekenda kino na mosika.
18 Your heart meditates [on] terror, Where [is] he who is counting? Where [is] he who is weighing? Where [is] he who is counting the towers?
Motema na yo ekokanisa lisusu somo oyo ozalaki koyoka: « Wapi mokonzi oyo azwaka mpako? Wapi moto oyo amekaka bakilo? Wapi moto oyo atalaka bandako na biso ya milayi? »
19 You do not see the strong people, A people deeper of lip than to be understood, Of a scorned tongue, there is no understanding.
Okomona lisusu bato ya lolendo te, bato oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koyoka mpe maloba na bango, pasi mpo na kososola.
20 See Zion, the city of our meetings, Your eyes see Jerusalem—a quiet habitation, A tent not taken down, its pins are not removed forever, And none of its cords are broken.
Tala Siona, engumba ya bafeti na biso ya minene, miso na yo ekomona Yelusalemi, ndako ya kimia, ndako ya kapo oyo ekopikama makasi; bakokoka kopikola makonzi na yango te, mpe basinga na yango ekokatana te.
21 But YHWH [is] mighty for us there, A place of rivers—streams of broad sides, No ship with oars goes into it, And a mighty ship does not pass over it.
Kuna, Yawe akozala Elombe na biso. Ekozala etuka ya bibale minene mpe ya miluka. Masuwa moko te ekoya kuna, masuwa moko te ya lokumu ekoleka wana.
22 For YHWH, ours who is judging, YHWH our lawgiver, YHWH our King—He saves us.
Pamba te Yawe azali Mosambisi na biso, Yawe azali Mosali mibeko na biso, Yawe azali Mokonzi na biso; Ye nde akobikisa biso.
23 Your ropes have been left, They do not correctly strengthen their mast, They have not spread out a sail, Then a prey of much spoil has been apportioned, The lame have taken spoil.
Basinga na yo esili kolemba, ezali lisusu te kosimba malamu nzete ya bendele; ezali lisusu te kofungola malamu vwale. Boye, na tango bakokabola ebele ya bomengo ya bitumba, bato ya tengu-tengu, bango moko penza, bakobotola eteni na bango ya bomengo.
24 Nor does an inhabitant say, “I was sick”; The people dwelling in it [are] forgiven of [their] iniquity!
Movandi moke te ya Siona akoloba: « Nazali kobela! » Masumu ya bavandi ya kuna ekolimbisama.
