Isaiah 2
1 That which Isaiah, son of Amoz saw in vision, —concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Tala makambo oyo Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, amonaki na tina na Yuda mpe Yelusalemi:
2 But it shall come to pass, in the afterpart of the days, That the mountain of the house of Yahweh Shall be, set up, as the head of the mountains, And be exalted above the hills, —And all the nations, shall stream thereunto;
Na mikolo oyo ekoya, ngomba ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekolendisama ngwi na songe ya bangomba, ekoleka bangomba mikuse nyonso na molayi, mpe bikolo nyonso ekokende kotondana kuna.
3 And many peoples shall go and say—Come ye, and let us ascend Unto the mountain of Yahweh Unto the house of the God of Jacob, That he may teach us of his ways, And we may walk in his paths, —For, out of Zion, shall go forth a law, And the word of Yahweh out of Jerusalem;
Bato ya bikolo ebele bakokende kuna mpe bakoloba: « Boya, tomata na ngomba ya Yawe, na Tempelo ya Nzambe ya Jakobi. Akoteya biso banzela na Ye mpo ete tolanda banzela mike na Ye. » Pamba te Mobeko ekowuta na Siona, mpe Liloba na Yawe ekowuta na Yelusalemi.
4 And he will judge between the nations, And be umpire to many peoples, —And they will beat their swords into ploughshares and their spears into pruning-hooks, Nation—against nation, shall not lift up sword, Neither shall they learn any more to make war,
Akozala Mosambisi kati na bikolo, akokata makambo ya kowelana kati na bato ebele. Bakotumba mipanga na bango na moto mpo na kosala bakongo, mpe makonga na bango mpo na kosala bambeli. Ekolo moko te ekotombola lisusu mopanga mpo na kobundisa ekolo mosusu; bato bakoyekola lisusu te kobunda bitumba.
5 O house of Jacob! come ye and let us walk in the light of Yahweh.
Oh ndako ya Jakobi, yaka, tika ete totambola na pole ya Yawe!
6 Therefore hast thou abandoned thy people the house of Jacob, Because they have become full of the East, And use hidden arts like the Philistines, —And with the children of foreigners, strike hands; —
Solo, osundolaki bato na Yo, libota ya Jakobi, mpo ete batondisami na bizaleli ya soloka oyo ewuti na Este; bazali kosalela maji lokola bato ya Filisitia, bazali kosala boyokani elongo na bapagano.
7 So that filled is their land with silver and gold, And there is no end to their treasures, —And filled is their land with horses, And there is no end to their chariots;
Mokili na bango etondi na palata mpe wolo, bomengo na bango ezali na suka te. Mokili na bango etondi na bampunda mpe bakoki ata moke te kotanga bashar na bango ya bitumba.
8 And filled is their land with idols, —To the work of their own hands, do they bow themselves down, To that which they made with their own fingers.
Mokili na bango etondi na banzambe ya bikeko, bato bakomi kofukamela biloko oyo esalemi na maboko na bango, oyo misapi na bango esili kosala.
9 So the mean man boweth down And the great man stoopeth low, —Therefore do not thou forgive them!
Yango wana, bato bakokitisa mito, mpe bato ya lokumu bakotonda na soni; kolimbisa bango te!
10 Enter into the rock, Or hide thee in the dust, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour.
Kimela na madusu ya mabanga, bombama na putulu ya mabele liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye!
11 The lofty looks of mean men, shall be humbled, And, the haughtiness of great men, shall be bowed down, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
Na mokolo wana, moto ya lolendo akokitisa elongi, bato ya lofundu bakokitisama; Yawe kaka nde akonetolama.
12 For, a day of Yahweh of hosts, [shall be] —Upon every one who is high and lofty, —And upon every one who is lifted up, And he shall be brought low;
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abongisa mokolo moko mpo na kokitisa bato nyonso ya lolendo mpe ya lofundu, bato nyonso oyo bamimatisaka,
13 And upon all cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, —And upon all the oaks of Bashan;
banzete nyonso ya sedele ya Libani, oyo eleki na molayi mpe na kotombwama, mpe banzete nyonso ya sheni ya Bashani;
14 And upon all the lofty mountains, —And upon all the uplifted hills;
bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe bangomba nyonso ya mikuse,
15 And upon every high tower, —And upon every fortress wall;
bandako nyonso ya milayi, bamir nyonso ya milayi oyo batonga makasi;
16 And upon all the ships of Tarshish, —And upon all desirable banners.
bamasuwa nyonso ya Tarsisi mpe bomengo na yango nyonso ya kitoko.
17 And the haughtiness of mean men, shall be humbled, —And the loftiness of great men, shall be laid low, —And Yahweh alone shall be exalted in that day.
Lolendo ya moto ekosila mpe lofundu ya bato ekosuka; Yawe kaka nde akonetolama na mokolo wana.
18 And, the idols, shall wholly pass away;
Banzambe nyonso ya bikeko bakobebisama nye.
19 And they shall enter into the holes of the rocks, and into the caves of clay, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Bato bakokimela na madusu ya mabanga mpe na putulu ya mabele liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye, tango akotelema mpo na koningisa mokili.
20 In that day shall the son of earth cast his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, —which had been made for him to worship, into the hole of the mice, and to the bats;
Na mokolo wana, bato bakobwaka epai ya bampuku mpe bangembo banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya palata mpe banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya wolo, oyo basalaki mpo ete bafukamela bango.
21 That he may enter into the clefts of the rocks, and into the fissures of the crags, —Because of the terribleness of Yahweh, And for his majestic splendour, When he ariseth to shake terribly the earth.
Bakokima na madusu ya mabanga mpe kati na mabanga liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye, tango akotelema mpo na koningisa mokili.
22 Cease ye from the son of earth, In whose nostrils is but a breath, —For wherein to be reckoned upon, is he?
Botika kotia elikya na moto oyo bomoi na ye ezali lokola pema kati na zolo na ye. Motuya nini azali na yango?
