Isaiah 10
1 Woe to them that make unrighteous decrees, That write oppressive decisions,
Mawa na bato oyo basalaka mibeko ezanga bosembo, na ba-oyo bakomaka mibeko oyo enyokolaka bato!
2 To turn away the needy from judgment, And rob the poor of my people of their right; That the widows may become their prey, And that they may plunder the orphans.
Bapimelaka bato pamba bosembo mpe babotolaka makoki ya babola, mpo na kobotola biloko ya basi bakufisa mibali mpe ya bana bitike.
3 What will ye do in the day of visitation, And in the desolation which cometh from afar? To whom will ye flee for help, And where will ye leave your glory?
Bokosala nini na mokolo ya kosambisama, tango pasi ekowuta mosika? Bokokimela epai ya nani mpo ete asunga bino? Esika nini bokobomba bomengo na bino?
4 Forsaken by me, they shall sink down among the prisoners, And fall among the slain. For all this his anger is not turned away, But his hand is stretched out still.
Eloko kaka bokotikala na yango: kokitisa elongi na se elongo na bato ya boloko to kokufa elongo na bato oyo babomi. Kasi atako bongo, kanda ya Yawe ekitaki kaka te, loboko na Ye etikalaki kaka ya kosembolama.
5 Woe to the Assyrian, the rod of mine anger, The staff in whose hands is the instrument of my indignation!
Mawa na Asiri, lingenda ya kanda na Ngai; nzete oyo ezali na loboko na ye ezali nde esalelo ya kanda na Ngai!
6 Against an impious nation I will send him, And against a people under my wrath I will give him a charge To gather the spoil, and seize the prey, And to trample them under foot like the mire of the streets.
Natindi ye mpo ete atelemela ekolo oyo eyebi Yawe te mpe bato oyo bapesaka Ngai kanda, mpo ete abebisa mpe abotola biloko na bango mpe anyata bango lokola potopoto ya balabala.
7 But he doth not so purpose, And his heart doth not so intend; But to destroy is in his heart, And to cut off a multitude of nations.
Kasi mokonzi ya Asiri amonaka yango bongo te, akanisaka yango bongo te; akanisaka kaka koboma mpe kobebisa bikolo ebele.
8 For he saith, “Are not my princes altogether kings?
Azali koloba: « Boni, bakambi na ngai bazali bango nyonso ndenge moko na bakonzi te?
9 Is not Calno as Carchemish? Is not Hamath as Arpad? Is not Samaria as Damascus?
Engumba Kalino ekweyaki te lokola engumba Karikemishi? Engumba Amati, lokola engumba Aripadi te? Engumba Samari, lokola engumba Damasi te?
10 As my hand hath seized the kingdoms of the idols, Whose graven images were more numerous than those of Jerusalem and Samaria,
Soki loboko na Ngai esukisaki bikolo oyo esambelaka banzambe ya bikeko, bikolo oyo ezalaki na banzambe ya bikeko ebele koleka Yelusalemi mpe Samari,
11 Behold! as I have done to Samaria and her idols, So will I do to Jerusalem and her images.”
nakokoka te penza kosala Yelusalemi elongo na banzambe na yango ya bikeko ndenge nasalaki Samari mpe banzambe na yango ya bikeko? »
12 But when the Lord hath accomplished his whole work upon Mount Zion and Jerusalem, Then will he punish the fruit of the proud heart of the king of Assyria, And the arrogance of his lofty eyes.
Tango Yawe akosilisa mosala na Ye ya kotelemela ngomba Siona mpe Yelusalemi, akoloba: « Nakopesa etumbu na mokonzi ya Asiri mpo na lolendo ya motema na ye mpe mpo na lofundu ya etaleli na ye.
13 For he hath said: “By the strength of my hand I have done it, And by my wisdom; for I am wise; I have removed the bounds of nations, I have plundered their treasures; As a hero have I brought down them that sat upon thrones.
Pamba te azalaki koloba: ‹ Nazalaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso na makasi mpe na bwanya na ngai moko, pamba te nazali mayele; napusaki bandelo ya bikolo, nabotolaki bomengo na bango lokola elombe, nalongaki bakonzi na bango.
14 The riches of the nations hath my hand seized, as a nest; As one gathereth eggs that have been left, So have I gathered the whole world. And there was none that moved the wing, Or that opened the beak, or that chirped.”
Loboko na ngai ekamataki bomengo na bango ndenge bakamataka zala ya ndeke; mpe ndenge bato balokotaka maki batika, ndenge wana mpe ngai nalokotaki mokili mobimba: moko te eningisaki lipapu to efungolaki monoko mpo na kobeta piololo. › »
15 Shall the axe boast itself against him that heweth with it? Or shall the saw magnify itself against him that moveth it? As if the rod should wield him that lifteth it! As if the staff should lift up him that is not wood!
Boni, epasola ekoki solo komimatisa liboso ya moto oyo asalelaka yango; si ya mabaya ekoki solo komikumisa liboso ya moto oyo asalelaka yango? Bosila komona fimbu koningisa moto oyo asalelaka yango to etape ya nzete kotombola nzete na yango?
16 Wherefore the Lord, the Lord of hosts, shall send upon his fat ones leanness, And under his glory shall he kindle a burning, like the burning of a fire.
Yango wana Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akotindela basoda na ye ya mbinga bokono oyo ekondisaka nzoto. Na se ya nkembo na Ye, bakopelisa moto lokola fulu ya moto.
17 The light of Israel shall be a fire, And his Holy One a flame, Which shall burn and devour his thorns and briers in one day.
Pole ya Isalaele ekokoma moto, Mosantu ya Isalaele akopela lokola moto; kaka na mokolo moko, akotumba mpe akozikisa basende mpe banzube ya Asiri,
18 The glory of his forest and of his fruitful field From the spirit even to the flesh shall he consume; It shall be with them as when a sick man fainteth.
akozikisa nye bazamba na yango ya minene mpe bilanga na yango ya kitoko ndenge mobeli akondaka.
19 The remaining trees of the forest shall be few, So that a child may write them down.
Kati na bazamba na yango, ekotikala kaka banzete moke oyo ata mwana moke akokoka kotanga motango na yango.
20 In that day shall the remnant of Israel, and they that have escaped of the house of Jacob, no more lean upon him that smote them; They shall lean upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth.
Na mokolo wana, batikali ya Isalaele mpe bato ya libota ya Jakobi oyo bakobika bakomipesa lisusu te na maboko ya moto oyo azalaki kobeta bango; kasi bakomipesa na solo epai na Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele.
21 The remnant shall return, the remnant of Jacob, to the mighty Potentate;
Ndambo ya bakitani ya Jakobi bakozonga epai ya Nzambe na nguya.
22 For though thy people, O Israel, be as the sand of the sea, Only a remnant of them shall return. The devastation is decreed; It shall overflow with righteousness.
Oh Isalaele, ata bato na yo bazali ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, ndambo kaka nde bakozonga; pamba te Nzambe azwi mokano ya kobebisa bato, akomema bosembo lokola mpela.
23 For devastation and punishment doth the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, execute in the midst of the whole land,
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokokisa kobebisama oyo akanaki mpo na mokili mobimba.
24 Yet thus saith the Lord, Jehovah of hosts: Fear not, O my people, that dwellest in Zion, because of the Assyrian! With his rod indeed shall he smite thee, And lift up his staff against thee in the manner of Egypt;
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Oh bato na Ngai, bino oyo bovandi kati na Siona, bozala na somo te ya bato ya Asiri oyo bazali kobeta bino fimbu mpe kotombola nzete mpo na kobeta bino ndenge bato ya Ejipito bazalaki kosala.
25 But yet a very little while, and my indignation shall have past, And my anger shall destroy them.
Kala mingi te, kanda na Ngai epai na bino ekosila mpe kanda na Ngai ya makasi ekobalukela bango mpo na kobebisa bango. »
26 Jehovah of hosts shall raise up against him a scourge, As he smote Midian at the rock of Horeb, And as he lifted up the rod against the sea; Yea, he shall lift it up, as in Egypt.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akotombola fimbu mpo na kobeta Asiri ndenge abetaki Madiani na libanga ya Orebi. Mpe lisusu, akotombola nzete na Ye likolo ya ebale monene lokola na Ejipito.
27 In that day shall his burden be removed from thy shoulder, And his yoke from thy neck; Yea, thy yoke shall be broken, as that of a fat steer.
Na mokolo wana, bakolongola mokumba na likolo ya mapeka na bino mpe na ekangiseli na bakingo na bino. Tango mokumba yango ekolongwa, ekotika esika na bomengo.
28 He is come to Aiath; he passeth through Migron; In Michmash he leaveth his baggage;
Tala bango wana bazali koya na Ayati, bazali koleka na lubwaku ya Migironi, babombi biloko na bango na Mikimasi.
29 They pass the strait; At Geba they make their night-quarters; Ramah trembleth; Gibeah of Saul fleeth.
Baleki kati na bangomba mpe balobi: « Tokotonga molako mpe tokolekisa butu na Geba. » Bato ya Rama bakomi kolenga na somo, mpe bato ya Gibea, engumba ya mokonzi Saulo, bakimi.
30 Cry aloud, O daughter of Gallim! Hear, O Laish! Alas, poor Anathoth!
Oh bato ya Galimi, boganga makasi! Oh Layisi, sala keba! Oh engumba Anatoti, mawa na yo!
31 Madmenah hasteth away; The inhabitants of Gebim take to flight.
Bato ya Madimena bakimi, bato ya Gebimi bazali koluka ekimelo;
32 Yet one day shall he rest at Nob, Then shall he shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, The hill of Jerusalem.
Na mokolo ya lelo, bakotelema na Nobi, bakobeta makofi na bango na ngomba Siona, mboka kitoko, mpe na ngomba moke ya Yelusalemi.
33 But behold! the Lord, Jehovah of hosts, shall lop the branches with fearful force, And the high of stature shall be cut down, And the lofty shall be brought low.
Tala, Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akokata bitape ya banzete na nguya monene, akokata banzete milayi mpe oyo eleki milayi, akokomisa yango mikuse.
34 He shall hew the thickets of the forest with iron, And Lebanon shall fall by a mighty hand.
Akokata na epasola banzete nyonso kati na zamba: Libani ekokweya liboso ya Elombe.
