Isaiah 3
1 For look, the Lord, the LORD of hosts, takes away from Jerusalem and from Judah supply and support, the whole supply of bread, and the whole supply of water;
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akomi pene ya kobotola masungi nyonso, kati na Yelusalemi mpe kati na Yuda: lisungi ya bilei mpe lisungi ya mayi;
2 the mighty man, the man of war, the judge, the prophet, the diviner, the elder,
bilombe mpe basoda ya mpiko, basambisi mpe basakoli, bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya mpe bakambi;
3 the captain of fifty, the honorable man, the counselor, the skilled craftsman, and the clever enchanter.
bakonzi ya basoda mpe bato ya lokumu, bapesi toli, bato mayele ya misala ya maboko mpe bato oyo basalelaka maji.
4 And I will make youths to be their leaders, and capricious children shall rule over them.
Nakosala ete bilenge mibali bakoma bakonzi na bango mpe bana mike bakamba bango.
5 The people will be oppressed, everyone by another, and everyone by his neighbor. The child will behave himself proudly against the old man, and the base against the honorable.
Bato bakokoma konyokolana bango na bango: moko akonyokola mosusu, mpe moninga akonyokola moninga na ye mosusu; bilenge bakotosa mikolo te, bato pamba bakotelemela bato ya lokumu;
6 Indeed a man shall take hold of his brother in the house of his father, saying, "You have clothing, you be our ruler, and let this ruin be under your control."
moko akokanga ndeko na ye ya mobali kati na ndako ya tata na bango mpe akoloba: « Yo oyo ozali na kazaka, okozala mokonzi na biso, kamata mokumba ya libebi oyo na maboko! »
7 In that day he will cry out, saying, I will not be a healer; for in my house is neither bread nor clothing. You shall not make me ruler of the people.
Kasi na mokolo wana, akoganga: « Te, nazali na ngai monganga te, mpe nazali na bilei to bilamba te kati na ndako na ngai; bokomisa ngai mokonzi te! »
8 For Jerusalem is ruined, and Judah is fallen; because their tongue and their doings are against the LORD, to provoke the eyes of his glory.
Yelusalemi ezali kotepatepa, mpe Yuda ekweyi; mpo ete maloba mpe misala na bango ezali ya botomboki liboso ya Yawe, ezali kotelemela lokumu ya Kombo na Ye.
9 The look of their faces testify against them. They parade their sin like Sodom. They do not hide it. Woe to their soul. For they have brought disaster upon themselves.
Bilongi na bango ezali kofunda bango; bazali kolakisa masumu na bango ndenge bato ya Sodome bazalaki kosala, bazali kobomba yango te. Mawa na bango, pamba te bamilukeli nde makambo!
10 Tell the righteous "Good." For they shall eat the fruit of their deeds.
Loba na moto ya sembo: « Bolamu ekobila yo, pamba te okosepela na mbuma ya misala na yo. »
11 Woe to the wicked. Disaster is upon them; for the work of his hands will be done to him.
Mawa na moto mabe! Pasi ezali likolo na ye, pamba te akozwa lifuti kolanda misala na ye.
12 As for my people, children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who lead you cause you to err, and destroy the way of your paths.
Bilenge bazali konyokola bato na Ngai, basi bazali koyangela bango. Oh bato na Ngai, bakambi na bino babungisi bino nzela, babimisi bino libanda ya nzela oyo bosengeli kolanda!
13 The LORD stands up to contend, and stands to judge his people.
Yawe atelemi na esambiselo, atelemi mpo na kosambisa bato.
14 The LORD will enter into judgment with the elders of his people, and their leaders: "It is you who have eaten up the vineyard. The spoil of the poor is in your houses.
Yawe akosamba elongo na bampaka mpe bakambi ya bato na Ye: « Ezali nde bino bato bobebisi elanga na Ngai ya vino! Botondisi bandako na bino na biloko oyo bobotoli epai ya babola!
15 What do you mean that you crush my people, and grind the face of the poor?" says the LORD of hosts.
Mpo na nini bozali konyata bato na Ngai mpe kotiola bomoto ya babola; » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga?
16 Moreover the LORD said, "Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with outstretched necks and flirting eyes, walking to trip as they go, jingling ornaments on their feet;
Yawe alobi: « Lokola basi ya Siona bazali lofundu, lokola batambolaka mapeka likolo mpe balalisaka miso na lofundu, lokola batambolaka na kodenda malembe-malembe mpe na kolelisa biloko ya monzele oyo balataka na makolo na bango,
17 therefore the LORD brings sores on the crown of the head of the women of Zion, and the LORD will make their scalps bald."
Yawe akokomisa mito ya basi ya Siona mapalata mpe akotika bango bolumbu. »
18 In that day the LORD will take away the beauty of their anklets, the headbands, the crescent necklaces,
Na mokolo wana, Nkolo akolongola bango biloko na bango oyo basalelaka monzele: basheneti oyo balataka na makolo mpe babiju ya talo oyo ezalaka lokola moyi mpe sanza;
19 the earrings, the bracelets, the veils,
biloko ya matoyi, basheneti oyo balataka na maboko, bavwale,
20 the headdresses, the ankle chains, the sashes, the perfume bottles, the charms,
bitendi oyo bakangaka na mito, basheneti, mikaba, milangi ya malasi, bakisi ya kokangela nzoto,
21 the signet rings, the nose rings,
bapete ya mosapi, bapete ya zolo,
22 the fine robes, the capes, the cloaks, the purses,
bilamba ya feti, banzambala oyo etika nzoto, bakazaka, basakosi ya mike,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen garments, the tiaras, and the shawls.
bilamba oyo emonisaka nzoto, bilamba ya lino, maputa mpe bitambala.
24 It shall happen that instead of sweet spices, there shall be rottenness; instead of a belt, a rope; instead of well set hair, baldness; instead of a robe, a girding of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Na esika ya solo kitoko ya malasi, ekozala nde solo mabe; na esika ya mokaba, ekozela nde singa; na esika ya suki bakanga kitoko na moto, ekozala nde libandi; na esika ya bilamba ya talo, ekozala nde bilamba ya saki; na esika ya elongi kitoko, ekozala nde elongi mabe.
25 Your men shall fall by the sword, and your mighty in the war.
Mibali na bino bakokufa na mipanga, basoda na bino ya mpiko bakokufa na bitumba.
26 Her gates shall lament and mourn; and she shall be desolate and sit on the ground.
Bikuke ya Siona ekolela mpe ekozala na matanga; boye Siona ekokelela mpe ekovanda na mabele.
