Isaiah 29
1 Woe to Ariel. Ariel, the city where David camped. Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
Mawa na yo, Arieli, Arieli, engumba oyo Davidi azalaki kovanda! Bobakisa mibu na mibu mpe botika ete bafeti na bino ekoba kolandana ndenge ezalaka.
2 then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
Kasi nakonyokola Arieli; ekokoma na mawa mpe na kolela; ekokoma na miso na Ngai lokola etumbelo.
3 And I will camp in a circle around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
Nakozingela yo mpo na kobundisa yo, nakozingela yo na mir ya molayi mpe nakotiela yo mampinga ya nguya mpo na kotelemela yo.
4 You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
Okokitisama solo na se, okoloba wuta na mabele, mpe maloba na yo ekobanda kobima na mongongo ya se wuta na putulu. Mongongo na yo ekokoma kobima wuta na se ya mabele lokola mongongo ya moto oyo asololaka na milimo ya bakufi; mpe wuta na putulu, maloba na yo ekobima na mongongo ya se.
5 But the multitude of your arrogant will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
Bongo ebele ya banguna na yo bakokoma lokola putulu, mpe ebele ya banyokoli na yo bakokoma lokola matiti ekawuka oyo ezali kopumbwa na mopepe; ekosalema bongo na pwasa.
6 She will be visited by YHWH of hosts with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akoya epai na yo na nzela ya bakake, ya koningana ya mabele mpe ya lokito monene, ya mopepe makasi mpe ya mvula ya moto oyo etumbaka.
7 The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
Ekozala lokola ndoto to emoniseli ya butu mpo na ebele ya bikolo oyo bakobundisa Arieli, oyo bakotelemela ye elongo na bandako na ye ya makasi mpe bakozingela ye.
8 It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and look, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and look, he drinks; but he awakes, and look, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
Ekozala lokola moto oyo azali na nzala, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali kolia, kasi tango alamuki, libumu na ye ezali kaka pamba lokola moto oyo azali na posa ya mayi, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali komela mayi, kasi tango alamuki na nzoto ya kolemba, posa na ye ya mayi esili kaka te. Ekozala nde bongo mpo na mampinga ya bikolo nyonso oyo bakobundisa ngomba Siona.
9 Pause and wonder. Blind yourselves and be blind. They are drunk, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
Bozanga maloba mpe bokamwa! Bomiboma miso mpe botikala bakufi miso! Bolangwa masanga, kasi na vino te! Botenga-tenga, kasi na masanga ya makasi te!
10 For YHWH has poured out on you a spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes (the prophets), and he has covered your heads (the seers).
Yawe asopeli bino molimo ya pongi makasi; akangi bino miso, bino basakoli, azipi bino mito, bino bato oyo bomonaka makambo.
11 All vision has become to you like the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one who is educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't, for it is sealed:"
Mpo na bino, emoniseli nyonso oyo ekomi lokola maloba ya buku oyo bakanga mpe bapesi epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga, bongo balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nakokoka te, pamba te buku ekangama. »
12 and the book is delivered to one who is not educated, saying, "Read this, please;" and he says, "I can't read."
To bapesi yango epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga te, mpe balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nayebi kotanga te. »
13 And YHWH said, "Because these people draw near with their mouth and honor me with their lips, but they have removed their heart far from me. And in vain do they worship me, teaching instructions that are the commandments of humans.
Nkolo alobi: « Bato oyo bapusanaka pene na Ngai kaka na monoko, bapesaka Ngai lokumu kaka na bibebu, kasi mitema na bango ezalaka mosika na Ngai; mpe botosi oyo bazalaka na yango epai na Ngai ezali kaka mobeko ya bomoto, oyo bateyaki bango.
14 Therefore, look, I will again do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder; and I will destroy the wisdom of the wise, and the discernment of the discerning I will nullify."
Yango wana, nakokoba kokamwisa bato oyo; ekozala nde bikamwa likolo ya bikamwa kino bwanya ya bato ya bwanya ekobunga, mpe mayele ya bato ya mayele ekosuka. »
15 Woe to those who deeply hide their counsel from YHWH, and whose works are in the dark, and who say, "Who sees us?" and "Who knows us?"
Mawa na bato oyo basalaka makambo na nkuku mpo na kobombela Yawe mabongisi na bango; bato oyo basalaka misala na bango na molili mpe balobaka: « Nani akoki komona biso? Nani akoyeba? »
16 You turn things upside down. Should the potter be thought to be like clay; that the thing made should say about him who made it, "He did not make me;" or the thing formed say of him who formed it, "He has no understanding?"
Bozali nde kobongola makambo! Ezali lokola bozali kozwa mosali mbeki ndenge moko na mabele oyo basalelaka mbeki. Boni, eloko ekoki solo koloba na mosali na yango: « Asalaki ngai te? » Mbeki ekoki solo koloba na mosali mbeki: « Ozali mayele te? »
17 Isn't it yet a very little while, and Lebanon will be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field will be regarded as a forest?
Etikali kaka tango moke, Libani ekobongwana elanga ya kitoko, mpe elanga ya kitoko ekomonana lokola zamba.
18 In that day, the deaf will hear the words of the scroll, and the eyes of the blind will see out of obscurity and out of darkness.
Na mokolo wana, bakufi matoyi bakoyoka maloba ya buku, mpe bakufi miso bakomona tango bakobima na butu mpe na molili.
19 The humble also will increase their joy in YHWH, and the poor among humankind will rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
Bato bakelela bakosepela makasi kati na Yawe, babola bakozala na esengo kati na Mosantu ya Isalaele.
20 For the ruthless is brought to nothing, and the scoffer ceases, and all those who are alert to do evil are cut off?
Banyokoli bakotikala lisusu te, batioli bakozala lisusu te mpe bato oyo balukaka pasi ya baninga bakokufa:
21 who cause a person to be indicted by a word, and lay a snare for the arbiter in the gate, and who deprive the innocent of justice with false testimony.
elongo na bato oyo bakweyisaka bato kati na kosamba mpo na liloba moko, elongo na bato oyo batielaka basambisi mitambo mpe bapesaka matatoli ya lokuta, na kosambisama, mpo na kokweyisa moto ya sembo.
22 Therefore thus says YHWH, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob: "Jacob shall no longer be ashamed, neither shall his face grow pale.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mosikoli ya Abrayami, alobi na libota ya Jakobi: « Jakobi akozala lisusu na soni te, elongi na ye ekozala lisusu ya kokawuka te.
23 But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the midst of him, they will sanctify my name. Yes, they will sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and will stand in awe of the God of Israel.
Tango akomona kati na bango bana na ye, mosala ya maboko na Ngai, bakopesa lokumu na bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe bakososola bosantu ya Mosantu ya Jakobi. Boye, bakozala na somo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele.
24 They also who err in spirit will come to understanding, and those who grumble will receive instruction."
Bato oyo bazali koyengayenga na molimo bakozwa mayele, mpe bato ya mito makasi bakondima koyekola mateya ya sika. »
