Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake, put on your strength, Zion; put on your beautiful garments, Jerusalem, the holy city, for there shall no more enter into you the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Oh Siona, lamuka, lamuka! Tika ete omikomisa lisusu makasi. Yelusalemi, engumba ya bule, lata bilamba na yo ya lokumu, pamba te ezala moto oyo bakata ngenga te to moto ya mbindo, akokota lisusu kati na yo te.
2 Shake yourself from the dust. Arise, sit up, Jerusalem. Release yourself from the bonds of your neck, captive daughter of Zion.
Oh Yelusalemi, milongola na putulu, telema mpe vanda na esika na yo ya lokumu! Oh Siona, mboka kitoko, yo oyo ozali mokangami, kata minyololo na kingo na yo!
3 For thus says the LORD, "You were sold for nothing; and you shall be redeemed without money."
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Lokola bomitekaki na ofele, bokosikolama mpe na mbongo te. »
4 For thus says the LORD, "My people went down at the first into Egypt to live there, and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Na ebandeli, bato na Ngai bakendeki na Ejipito mpo na kovanda kuna lokola bapaya; mpe na sima, Asiri anyokolaki bango.
5 "Now therefore, what do I do here," says the LORD, "seeing that my people are taken away for nothing? Those who rule over them mock," says the LORD. "Because of you, my name is continually all the day blasphemed among the nations.
Sik’oyo, eloko nini nasili kozwa awa, » elobi Yawe? « Pamba te bamemaki bato na Ngai na pamba, mpe bato oyo bazali kokonza bango bazali koganga makasi, » elobi Yawe, « mpe, mokolo na mokolo mpe tango nyonso, Kombo na Ngai ezali kofingama.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name; in that day they will know that I am he who speaks; look, it is I."
Yango wana, bato na Ngai bakoyeba Kombo na Ngai; yango wana, na mokolo wana, bakoyeba ete Ngai moko nde nasakolaki yango. Solo, ezali nde Ngai. »
7 How beautiful on the mountains are the feet of him who brings good news, who publishes peace, who brings good news of good things, who publishes salvation, who says to Zion, "Your God reigns."
Tala ndenge ezali kitoko, na likolo ya bangomba, makolo ya bato oyo basakolaka basango ya malamu, ba-oyo batatolaka kimia, ba-oyo bamemaka basango ya boboto, ba-oyo basakolaka lobiko, ba-oyo balobaka na Siona: « Nzambe na yo azali Mokonzi! »
8 The voice of your watchmen. They lift up the voice, together do they sing; for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD returns to Zion with compassion.
Yoka! Bakengeli na yo batomboli mingongo; bazali koganga elongo na esengo, pamba te, na miso na bango, bakomona Yawe kozonga lisusu na Siona.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, you waste places of Jerusalem; for the LORD has comforted his people, he has redeemed Jerusalem.
Bino mipiku ya mabanga ya Yelusalemi, boyemba elongo banzembo ya esengo, pamba te Yawe abondisi bato na Ye, asikoli Yelusalemi.
10 The LORD has made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and every part of the earth has seen the salvation of our God.
Yawe asemboli na pole loboko na Ye ya bule na miso ya bikolo nyonso; mpe suka nyonso ya mokili ekomona Lobiko ya Nzambe na biso.
11 Depart, depart, go out from there, and touch no unclean thing. Go out from their midst, and be separate, you who bear the vessels of the LORD.
Bokende, bokende, bobima awa! Bosimba eloko moko te ya mbindo! Bobima kati na yango mpe bozala peto, bino oyo bomemi bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Yawe!
12 For you shall not depart in haste, nor shall you leave in flight; for the LORD will go before you, and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Kasi na mbala oyo, bokobima na kowela te mpe bokokende te lokola bato bazali kokima, pamba te Yawe akotambola liboso na bino mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele akozala Mokengeli na bino na sima.
13 Look, my servant shall deal wisely, he shall be exalted and lifted up, and shall be very high.
Tala, mosali na ngai akosala na bwanya, akotombolama, akomata likolo mpe akonetolama makasi penza.
14 Just as many were astonished at you (his appearance was marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men),
Ndenge bato mingi bazalaki na somo mpo na ye na ndenge abebaki, elongi na ye etikalaki lisusu te lokola elongi ya moto, mpe lolenge na ye etikalaki lisusu te lokola mwana ya moto nyonso,
15 so shall he sprinkle many nations; kings shall shut their mouths at him. For that which was not told about him, they will see, and what they have not heard, they will understand.
ndenge wana mpe bato ya bikolo bakokamwa, mpe bakonzi bakokanga minoko na bango na tina na ye, pamba te bakomona oyo nanu babetela bango lisolo te mpe bakososola oyo nanu bayoka te.
