Isaiah 54
1 “Sing, O barren, she [who] has not borne! Break forth with singing, and cry aloud, She [who] has not brought forth! For more [are] the sons of the desolate, Than the sons of the married one,” said YHWH.
Oh mwasi ekomba, yemba nzembo na esengo, yo oyo obotaka te! Yemba nzembo mpe ganga na esengo, yo mwasi oyo oyoki nanu pasi ya kobota te! Pamba te bana ya mwasi oyo basundola bakozala ebele koleka bana ya mwasi ya libala, elobi Yawe.
2 “Enlarge the place of your tent, And they stretch out the curtains of your dwelling places, Do not restrain—lengthen your cords, And make your pins strong.
Yeisa ndako na yo ya kapo monene, bakisa bakapo na ndako yango mpo ete eya monene; kokanga motema te! Benda na molayi basinga na yo mpe pika banzete na yo makasi!
3 For you break forth right and left, And nations possess your seed,
Pamba te okofungwama na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mobali mpe na ngambo ya loboko na yo ya mwasi; bakitani na yo bakokonza bikolo mosusu mpe bakosala ete bato bavanda lisusu na bingumba na bango oyo etikalaki lisusu na bato te.
4 And they cause desolate cities to be inhabited. Do not fear, for you are not ashamed, Nor blush, for you are not confounded, For you forget the shame of your youth, And the reproach of your widowhood You do not remember anymore.
Kobanga te, pamba te okoyoka lisusu soni te! Kozala na mawa te, pamba te okotiolama lisusu te! Okobosana soni ya bolenge na yo mpe okokanisa lisusu te pasi na yo ya kokufisa mobali;
5 For your Maker [is] your husband, YHWH of Hosts [is] His Name, And your Redeemer [is] the Holy One of Israel, He is called God of all the earth.
pamba te Mokeli na yo nde mobali na yo, Kombo na Ye: Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; Mosantu ya Isalaele azali Mosikoli na yo; babengaka Ye: Nzambe ya mokili mobimba.
6 For as a woman forsaken and grieved in spirit, YHWH has called you, Even a youthful wife when she is refused,” said your God.
Pamba te Yawe abengi yo lisusu lokola mwasi oyo basundola, bongo azali na pasi na motema. Ndenge nini bakoki solo kosundola mwasi oyo babala na bolenge, elobi Nzambe na yo?
7 “In a small moment I have forsaken you, And in great mercies I gather you,
Nasundolaki yo kaka mpo na tango moke; kasi na bolingo nyonso, nakozongisa yo.
8 In overflowing wrath I hid My face [for] a moment from you, And in perpetual kindness I have loved you, Said your Redeemer—YHWH!
Mpo ete nazalaki na kanda makasi, nabombelaki yo elongi na Ngai kaka mpo na tango moke; kasi nakolakisa yo bolamu mpo na bolingo oyo ezangi suka, elobi Yawe, Mosikoli na yo.
9 For this [is as] the days of Noah to Me, In that I have sworn that the waters of Noah Do not pass over the earth again—So I have sworn, Wrath is not on you, Nor rebuke against you.
Na miso na Ngai, ezali lokola na mikolo ya Noa, tango nalapaki ndayi ete mayi ya Noa ekozindisa lisusu mabele te. Boye, nalapi solo ndayi sik’oyo ete nakosilikela yo lisusu te mpe nakopamela yo lisusu te.
10 For the mountains depart, and the hills remove, And My kindness does not depart from you, And the covenant of My peace does not remove,” Says YHWH, your loving one.
Ata bangomba milayi eningani, ata bangomba mikuse elongwe na bisika na yango, bolingo na Ngai epai na yo ekoningana te, mpe boyokani na Ngai ya kimia ekotikala kolongwa te, elobi Yawe oyo alingaka yo.
11 “O afflicted, storm-tossed, not comforted, Behold, I am laying your stones with cement, And have founded you with sapphires,
Oh engumba ya mawa, engumba oyo mopepe makasi esili kobuka mpe ezangeli kobondisama, nakotonga yo lisusu na mabanga ya talo mpe nakosala miboko na yo na mabanga ya safiri,
12 And have made your pinnacles of agate, And your gates of carbuncle stones, And all your border of stones of delight,
nakotonga bamir ya lopango na yo na mabanga ya ribi, nakosala bikuke na yo na biloko ya ngelingeli, mpe bamir na yo nyonso, na mabanga ya talo.
13 And all your sons are taught of YHWH, And the peace of your sons [is] abundant.
Yawe akoteya bana na yo nyonso, mpe kimia ya bana na yo ekozala monene.
14 You establish yourself in righteousness, Be far from oppression, for you do not fear, And from ruin, for it does not come near to you.
Okolendisama kati na bosembo: minyoko ekozala mosika na yo, okobanga lisusu eloko moko te, mpe somo ekokende mosika na yo; ekomeka kopusana lisusu pene na yo te.
15 Behold, he diligently assembles without My desire, Whoever has assembled near you falls by you!
Soki babundisi yo, ekowuta epai na Ngai te; moto nyonso oyo akobundisa yo akokweya liboso na yo.
16 Behold, I have created an artisan, Blowing on a fire of coals, And bringing out an instrument for his work, And I have created a destroyer to destroy.
Tala, ezali Ngai nde nakelaki monyangwisi bibende na moto oyo apelisaka moto makasi na makala mpe asalaka ebundeli mpo ete esala mosala na yango. Ezali mpe kaka Ngai nde nakelaki mobebisi mpo ete asala mosala ya kobebisa.
17 No weapon formed against you prospers, And every tongue rising against you, You condemn in judgment. This [is] the inheritance of the servants of YHWH, And their righteousness from Me,” a declaration of YHWH!
Nzokande, ebundeli moko te oyo esalemi mpo na kosala yo mabe ekolonga; mpe monoko nyonso oyo ekotelemela yo na kosambisa, okokatela yango etumbu. Yango nde ekozala libula ya basali ya Yawe, mpe elonga na bango kowuta epai na Ngai, elobi Yawe.
