Isaiah 51
1 "Listen to me, you who follow after righteousness, you who seek Jehovah: look to the rock you were cut from, and to the hold of the pit you were dug from.
« Boyoka ngai, bino bato oyo bolukaka bosembo mpe bolukaka Yawe! Botala libanga epai wapi bosalemaki, mpe libulu epai wapi bobendamaki.
2 Look to Abraham your father, and to Sarah who bore you; for when he was but one I called him, and I blessed him, and made him many.
Botala Abrayami, tata na bino; mpe Sara oyo abotaki bino. Tango nabengaki ye, azalaki kaka ye moko; napambolaki ye mpe nakomisaki ye tata ya bato ebele!
3 For Jehovah has comforted Zion; he has comforted all her waste places, and has made her wilderness like Eden, and her desert like the garden of Jehovah; joy and gladness shall be found in it, thanksgiving, and the voice of melody.
Solo, Yawe akobondisa Siona mpe akotala na liso ya ngolu bisika nyonso ya Siona oyo ebeba; akokomisa esobe na yango lokola Edeni, bisika na yango ekawuka, lokola elanga ya Yawe. Esengo mpe kosepela nde ekomonana kuna, matondi mpe mongongo ya banzembo.
4 "Attend to me, my people; and give ear to me, my nation: for a law shall go forth from me, and I will establish my justice for a light of the peoples.
Oh bato na ngai, boyoka ngai! Bino, ekolo na ngai, boyoka ngai malamu: Mpo ete Mobeko ekobimela epai na ngai, lolenge na ngai ya kokata makambo ekoyeisa pole na bikolo.
5 My righteousness is near, my salvation is gone forth, and my arms shall judge the peoples; the islands shall wait for me, and on my arm shall they trust.
Bosembo na ngai ezali pene, lobiko na ngai ebimi na lombangu, mpe maboko na ngai ekosambisa bikolo. Bisanga ekotalela ngai, ekozala na elikya na nguya ya loboko na ngai.
6 Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look on the earth beneath; for the heavens shall vanish away like smoke, and the earth shall wax old like a garment; and those who dwell in it shall die in the same way: but my salvation shall be forever, and my righteousness shall not be abolished.
Botombola miso na bino na likolo, botala na se, na mabele; likolo ekolimwa lokola milinga, mabele ekonuna lokola elamba, mpe bavandi na yango bakokufa lokola banzinzi. Kasi lobiko na ngai ekowumela seko na seko, bosembo na ngai ekotikala kokweya mokolo moko te.
7 "Listen to me, you who know righteousness, the people in whose heart is my law; do not fear the reproach of men, neither be dismayed at their insults.
Boyoka ngai, bino bato oyo boyebi bosembo, bino bato oyo bozali na Mobeko na ngai kati na mitema na bino: Bobanga te lolenge bato bakotiola bino to bozala na somo ya mangungu na bango te.
8 For the moth shall eat them up like a garment, and the worm shall eat them like wool; but my righteousness shall be forever, and my salvation to all generations."
Pamba te nseka ekolia bango lokola elamba, mpe bampese ekolia bango lokola elamba basala na bapwale ya meme; kasi bosembo na ngai ekowumela seko na seko, mpe lobiko na ngai, bileko na bileko. »
9 Awake, awake, put on strength, arm of Jehovah; awake, as in the days of old, the generations of ancient times. Isn't it you who cut Rahab in pieces, who pierced the monster?
Oh loboko na Yawe, lamuka, lamuka! Lata makasi! Lamuka, lokola na mikolo ya kala, na bileko oyo eleka kala! Ezali Yo te oyo okataki-kataki Raabi, oyo obomaki dalagona?
10 Isn't it you who dried up the sea, the waters of the great deep; who made the depths of the sea a way for the redeemed to pass over?
Ezali Yo te oyo okawusaki ebale monene, mayi oyo ya mozindo makasi? Ezali Yo te oyo opasolaki nzela kati na ebale monene mpo ete basikolami na Yo bakoka kokatisa?
11 The ransomed of Jehovah shall return, and come with singing to Zion; and everlasting joy shall be on their heads. They shall obtain gladness and joy. Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
Boye, bato oyo Yawe akangoli bakozonga, bakokota kati na Siona na banzembo ya esengo; esengo ya libela na libela ekozala lokola motole na mito na bango; bakotondisama na esengo mpe na kosepela, bongo pasi mpe minyoko ekokima mosika na bango.
12 "I, even I, am he who comforts you: who are you, that you are afraid of man who shall die, and of the son of man who shall be made as grass;
« Ezali Ngai, Ngai nde nabondisaka bino. Ozali nani mpo ete obanga moto oyo akokufa, mwana na moto oyo azali kaka lokola matiti?
13 and have forgotten Jehovah your Maker, who stretched forth the heavens, and laid the foundations of the earth; and fear continually all the day because of the fury of the oppressor, when he makes ready to destroy? and where is the fury of the oppressor?
Ozali mpe kobosana Yawe, Mokeli na Yo, oyo atandaki likolo ndenge batandaka liputa mpe atongaki miboko ya mabele, mpo ete okoma kobika mikolo nyonso na kobanga liboso ya kanda ya banyokoli oyo babongisami mpo na kobebisama? Pamba te, wapi kanda ya banyokoli?
14 The captive exile shall speedily be freed; and he shall not die and go down into the pit, neither shall his bread fail.
Etikali kaka moke, bakangami bakozwa bonsomi, bakokufa lisusu te kati na boloko na bango mpe bakozanga lisusu bilei te.
15 For I am Jehovah your God, who stirs up the sea, so that its waves roar: Jehovah of hosts is his name.
Nazali Yawe, Nzambe na Yo, oyo aningisaka ebale monene mpo ete mbonge na yango etomboka. Kombo na Ye ezali ‹ Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. ›
16 I have put my words in your mouth, and have covered you in the shadow of my hand, that I may plant the heavens, and lay the foundations of the earth, and tell Zion, 'You are my people.'"
Natiaki maloba na Ngai na monoko na yo, mpe nazipi yo na elili ya loboko na ngai; nazali Ye oyo atiaki likolo na esika na yango, oyo atongaki miboko ya mabele mpe oyo alobaki na Siona: ‹ Bozali bato na Ngai! › »
17 Awake, awake, stand up, Jerusalem, that have drunk at the hand of Jehovah the cup of his wrath; you have drunk from the bowl, of the cup of staggering, and drained it.
Lamuka, lamuka! Telema, Yelusalemi, yo oyo omelaki, wuta na loboko ya Yawe, kopo ya kanda na Ye; yo oyo omelaki mpe osilisaki kino na suka kopo oyo epesaka bato kizunguzungu.
18 There is none to guide her among all the sons whom she has brought forth; neither is there any who takes her by the hand among all the sons who she has brought up.
Kati na bana nyonso oyo abotaki, Ezali na mwana moko te oyo azali kolakisa ye nzela; kati na bana oyo abokolaki, moko te azali kosimba ye na loboko.
19 These two things have happened to you. Who will grieve for you? Desolation and destruction, and the famine and the sword. Who will console you?
Makama mibale oyo ekomeli yo, nani akoki kolendisa yo: Mokili na yo ekomi mipiku ya mabanga mpe ebebisami, nzala makasi mpe mopanga, nani akobondisa yo?
20 Your sons have fainted, they lie at the head of all the streets, as an antelope in a net; they are full of the wrath of Jehovah, the rebuke of your God.
Bana na yo balembi, balali-lali na babalabala nyonso lokola mboloko oyo ekangami na motambo; kanda ya Yawe mpe pamela ya Nzambe na yo nde ebuki-buki bango lolenge wana.
21 Therefore hear now this, you afflicted, and drunk, but not with wine:
Yango wana, yo oyo basambwisi, yo oyo olangwe, kasi na masanga ya vino te, yoka makambo oyo:
22 Thus says your Lord Jehovah, your God who pleads the cause of his people, "Look, I have taken out of your hand the cup of staggering, even the bowl of the cup of my wrath; you shall no more drink it again:
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, oyo abundelaka bato na Ye, alobi: « Tala, nalongoli kopo ya kizunguzungu, kopo ya kanda na Ngai, na loboko na yo, okomela yango lisusu te.
23 and I will put it into the hand of those who afflict you, who have said to your soul, 'Bow down, that we may walk over you;' and you have laid your back as the ground, and as the street, to those who walk over."
Nakotia yango na loboko ya banyokoli na yo, oyo balobaki na yo: ‹ Lala na se mpo ete totambola likolo na yo! › Mpe okomisaki mokongo na yo lokola nzela, lokola balabala mpo ete batambola likolo na yo. »
