< Isaiah 60 >

1 Arise—shine, For thy light, hath come, —And, the glory of Yahweh, on thee, hath beamed;
« Telema mpe ngenga, pamba te pole na yo ezali koya, mpe nkembo na Yawe etelemi na likolo na yo.
2 For lo! darkness, covereth the earth, And, deep gloom the peoples, —But, on thee, beameth Yahweh, And, his glory, on thee is seen.
Tala, molili ezipi mabele mpe molili makasi ezipi bato, kasi Yawe atelemi mpo na yo mpe nkembo na Ye emonani epai na yo.
3 So shall nations come to thy light, And kings to the brightness of thy dawning.
Bikolo ekotambola na pole na yo, mpe bakonzi bakotambola na kongenga ya pole na yo.
4 Lift up—round about—thine eyes and see, They all, have gathered themselves together—have come to thee, —Thy sons, from afar shall come, And thy daughters, on the side, shall be carried.
Tombola miso zingazinga na yo mpe tala: Bango nyonso basangani mpe bazali koya epai na yo; bana na yo ya mibali bawuti mosika, mpe oyo ya basi, bamemi bango na maboko.
5 Then, shalt thou see and be radiant, And thy heart, shall throb and be enlarged, —For there shall be turned upon thee the fulness of the sea, The riches of the nations, shall come unto thee;
Boye, okomona mpe okongenga, motema na yo ekobeta mpe ekosepela; bomengo ya ebale ekoya epai na yo, mpe bozwi ya bikolo ekoya epai na yo.
6 The multitude of camels, shall cover thee The young camels of Midian and Ephah, All they of Sheba, shall come, —Gold and frankincense, shall they bring, And, the praises of Yahweh, shall they joyfully tell:
Bashamo ebele ekotondisa mokili na yo, bana ya shamo ya mokili ya Madiani mpe ya Efa. Yango nyonso ekowuta na Saba, ekomema wolo mpe malasi ya ansa, mpe ekotatola masanzoli na Yawe.
7 All the flocks of Kedar, shall be gathered unto thee, The rams of Nebaioth, shall wait upon thee, —They shall come up, with acceptance, on mine altar, And my beautiful house, will I adorn.
Bibwele nyonso ya Kedari ekosangana epai na yo, bameme ya mibali ya Nebayoti ekosalela yo; ekondimama lokola mbeka na likolo ya etumbelo na Ngai, mpe nakongengisa Tempelo na nzela ya nkembo na Ngai.
8 Who are these that, As a cloud, do fly? and, As doves to their cotes?
Banani oyo bazali kokima lokola mapata, lokola bibenga epai ya babokoli na yango?
9 Surely for me, shall, Coastlands, wait, And the ships of Tarshish first, To bring in thy sons, from far, Their silver and their gold with them, —Unto the name of Yahweh, thy God, And unto the Holy One of Israel Because he hath adorned thee.
Solo, bisanga ekotalela Ngai; bamasuwa ya Tarsisi ekozala na liboso, ekomema bana na yo ya mibali longwa mosika, elongo na palata mpe wolo, mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, Nzambe na yo, Mosantu ya Isalaele; pamba te apesi yo nkembo.
10 So shall the sons of the foreigner, build thy walls, And their kings, shall wait upon thee, —For in my vexation, I smote thee, But in my favour, have I had compassion upon thee.
Bapaya bakotonga lisusu bamir na yo, mpe bakonzi na bango bakosalela yo. Ezala nabetaki yo na kanda na Ngai, kasi nakoyokela yo mawa na ngolu na Ngai.
11 So shall thy gates be open—continually, Neither day nor night, shall they be shut, —That they may bring unto thee the riches of the nations, And their kings, be led.
Bikuke na yo ekozala tango nyonso efungwama, ekotikala kokangama te, ezala na moyi to na butu, mpo ete bato bamemela yo bozwi ya bikolo, bakonzi na yango na molongo lokola bato bakangami na etumba.
12 For, the nation and the kingdom that will not serve thee, shall perish, —Yea the nations, shall be utterly wasted.
Pamba te ekolo to mboka oyo ekosalela yo te ekobebisama; solo, ekobebisama nye.
13 The glory of Lebanon, unto thee, shall come, The fir-tree the holm-oak, and the sherbin-cedar, together, To adorn the place of my sanctuary, And the place of my feet, will I make glorious.
Nkembo ya Libani ekoya epai na yo, banzete ya sipele, ya pini mpe ya bwisi ekoya elongo mpo na kobongisa Esika na Ngai ya bule; mpe nakopesa lokumu na esika na Ngai, oyo natiaka makolo na Ngai.
14 Then shall come unto thee bending low, The sons of them who had humbled thee, Then shall bow down, unto the soles of thy feet, All they who had despised thee; And they shall call thee—The city of Yahweh, The Zion of the Holy One of Israel.
Bana ya banyokoli na yo bakoya kofukama liboso na yo; bato nyonso oyo batiolaki yo bakofukama na se ya matambe na yo mpe bakobenga yo Engumba ya Yawe, Siona ya Mosantu ya Isalaele.
15 Instead of thy being forsaken and hated so that none used to pass through thee, I will make of thee—An excellency age-abiding, The joy of generation after generation.
Ata basundolaki yo mpe bayinaki yo, mpe moto moko te azalaki lisusu koleka epai na yo, nakopesa yo lokumu mpo na tango nyonso mpe esengo ya libela na libela.
16 And thou shalt derive sweet nourishment from the nations, Yea on the bounty of kings, shalt thou be sustained, —So shalt thou know—That, I, Yahweh, am thy Saviour, and That, thy Redeemer, is the Mighty One of Jacob.
Okomela miliki ya bikolo mpe okomela mabele ya bakonzi; boye okoyeba solo ete Ngai Yawe, nazali Mobikisi na yo mpe Mosikoli na yo, Elombe ya Jakobi.
17 Instead of bronze, I will bring in, gold, and Instead of iron, I will bring in silver, and Instead of wood, bronze, and Instead of stones, iron, —And I will appoint the oversight of thee to Prosperity, And the setting of thy tasks to Righteousness.
Na esika ya bronze, nakomemela yo wolo, mpe na esika ya bibende, nakomemela yo palata; na esika ya banzete, nakomemela yo bronze; mpe na esika ya mabanga, nakomemela yo bibende; nakokomisa Kimia moyangeli na yo, mpe Bosembo, mokambi na yo.
18 Violence, shall no more be heard, in thy land, Wasting nor destruction within thy boundaries, —But thou shalt call Thy walls, Victory, and Thy gates, Praise.
Kati na mokili na yo, okoyoka lisusu te makelele ya mobulu to ya kopanza to ya kobebisama kati na etando na yo; kasi okobenga bamir na yo ‹ Lobiko, › mpe bikuke na yo ‹ Masanzoli. ›
19 Thou shalt no more have the sun, for light by day, neither for brightness, shall the moon, give light unto thee, —But Yahweh shall become thine age-abiding light, And thy God thine adorning:
Pole ya moyi ekongengisa lisusu mokolo na yo te, to kongenga ya sanza ekongengisa yo lisusu te na butu; pamba te Yawe akozala pole na yo mpo na libela, mpe Nzambe na yo akozala nkembo na yo.
20 No more shall go in, thy sun, Nor thy moon, withdraw itself, —For, Yahweh, will become to thee an age-abiding light, So shall be ended the days of thy mourning.
Moyi na yo ekolala lisusu te, mpe sanza na yo ekobunga lisusu te; pamba te Yawe akozala pole na yo mpo na libela, mpe mikolo na yo ya pasi ekosila.
21 And, thy people, shall all of them, be righteous, To times age-abiding, shall they possess, the land, —The sprout of mine own planting, The work of mine own hands, —That I may get myself glory.
Solo, bato na yo nyonso bakokoma bato ya sembo mpe bakozwa mokili lokola libula mpo na libela; bazali mwa nzete moke oyo nalonaki, mosala ya maboko na Ngai, mpo na komonisa nkembo na Ngai.
22 The little one, shall become a thousand, and the small one, a mighty nation: I—Yahweh, in its own season, will hasten it.
Oyo aleki moke kati na bino akokoma nkoto moko, mpe oyo aleki moke penza akokoma ekolo ya makasi. Ngai, nazali Yawe, nakoyeisa yango mbangu na tango na yango. »
