Isaiah 63
1 Who is this coming in from Edom With bright-red garments, from Bozrah? This made splendid in his raiment, Marching on in the greatness of his strength? I, speaking in righteousness, Mighty to save.
Azali nani, ye oyo awuti na Edomi, na Botsira, na bilamba ya motane? Azali nani, ye oyo alati bilamba ya lokumu, oyo azali kotambola lokola elombe, mpo ayebi ete azalaka makasi? « Ezali nde Ngai; nakataka makambo na bosembo, natonda na nguya mpo na kobikisa. »
2 Wherefore is there red, on thy raiment, —And thy garments as of one treading in a wine-trough?
Mpo na nini bilamba na yo ezali motane lokola bilamba ya mokamoli vino?
3 A winepress, have I trodden, alone, And of the peoples, there was no man with me. So I trod them down in mine anger, And trampled upon them, in mine indignation, —And their life-blood besprinkled my garments, And all mine apparel, I defiled;
« Nazalaki kaka ngai moko kati na ekamolelo mpo na kokamola vino, moko te kati na bato ya bikolo nyonso azalaki elongo na ngai. Nanyataki-nyataki bango na kanda na ngai mpe nakamolaki bango na kanda na ngai ya makasi; makila na bango epumbwelaki ngai na bilamba mpe ebebisaki bilamba na ngai nyonso.
4 For, a day of avenging, was in my heart, And the year of my redeemed, had come.
Pamba te, na motema na ngai, ezalaki nde mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, mpe mobu na ngai ya kosikola ekokaki.
5 Therefore looked I around, and there was none to help, —And I was astonished that there was none to uphold, —So, mine own arm brought me salvation, And mine indignation, the same upheld me;
Natalaki, kasi namonaki moto te oyo akosunga; nakamwaki ete moto azalaki te mpo na kosunga ngai! Bongo, loboko na ngai moko ebikisaki ngai, mpe kanda na ngai ya makasi esungaki ngai.
6 Then trod I down peoples in mine anger, And make them drunk with mine indignation, And brought down to the earth their life-blood.
Nanyataki-nyataki bikolo na kanda na ngai, nalangwisaki bango na kanda na ngai ya makasi mpe nasopaki makila na bango na mabele. »
7 The lovingkindness of Yahweh, will I recall the praises of Yahweh, According to all that Yahweh hath bestowed upon us, —Even the abundance of goodness to the house of Israel, Which he bestowed upon them—According to his compassions and According to the abundance of his lovingkindness.
Nakotatola boboto ya Yawe, nakosanzola Ye mpo na misala na Ye, kolanda nyonso oyo Yawe asalaki mpo na biso; solo, asalelaki libota ya Isalaele makambo ebele ya kitoko kolanda boboto mpe bolingo na Ye ya monene.
8 Therefore he said—Surely my people, they are, Sons, they will not act falsely! So he became their saviour.
Alobaki: « Solo, bazali bato na Ngai, bazali bana oyo bakosaka Ngai te! » Yango wana, Yawe akomaki Mobikisi na bango.
9 In all their affliction, he, was afflicted And the messenger of his presence saved them, In his love and in his pity, he, redeemed them, —And then lifted them up and carried them all the days of the age-past time.
Tango nyonso bazalaki na pasi, Ye mpe azalaki koyoka pasi na motema; boye, anjelu oyo atelemaka liboso na Ye abikisaki bango; asikolaki bango na bolingo mpe na mawa na Ye, akongolaki bango mpe azalaki komema bango mikolo nyonso ya tango ya kala.
10 But, they, rebelled, and grieved his Holy Spirit, —And so he turned against them as an enemy, he himself, fought against them.
Nzokande, wana batombokelaki Ye mpe bayokisaki Molimo Mosantu na Ye mawa, abalukelaki bango mpe akomaki monguna na bango; mpe Ye moko akomaki kobundisa bango.
11 Then were recalled the days of the age-past time Moses—his people: —Where is he that led them up out of the sea with the shepherds of his flock? Where is he that put within him his Holy Spirit?
Boye, bato na Ye bakanisaki mikolo ya tango ya kala, mikolo ya tango ya Moyize: Wapi Ye oyo akatisaki bango ebale monene, elongo na mobateli bibwele ya etonga na Ye? Wapi Ye oyo atiaki kati na bango Molimo Mosantu na Ye?
12 That caused to go at the right hand of Moses his own majestic arm, —Cleaving the waters from before them, To make himself an age-abiding name:
Ye oyo atindaki ete loboko na Ye ya nkembo ezala elongo na loboko ya mobali ya Moyize, Ye oyo akabolaki mayi ya ebale monene liboso na bango mpo na kopesa Kombo na Ye lokumu mpo na libela;
13 Causing them to go through the roaring deeps, —Like a horse through the wilderness, That they should not stumble?
Ye oyo atambolisaki bango kati na mozindo? Lokola mpunda kati na esobe, babetaki libaku te;
14 As a beast, into the valley, goeth down, The Spirit of Yahweh, causeth him to rest, So, didst thou lead thy people, To make thyself a majestic name!
lokola bibwele oyo ezali kokita na lubwaku, Molimo na Yawe apesaki bango bopemi. Ezali ndenge wana nde okambaki bato na Yo mpo na kopesa lokumu na Kombo na Yo.
15 Look thou down, out of the heavens and see, Out of the high abode of thy holiness and of thy majesty, —Where are thy jealousy, and thy mighty deeds? The resounding of thy yearning affection, and thy compassions towards me, are they restrained?
Tala wuta na likolo mpe mona wuta na ndako na Yo ya bule mpe ya nkembo: Wapi bolingo na Yo, oyo eleka ndelo mpe nguya na Yo? Bolingo mpe mawa na Yo mpo na biso esili?
16 For, thou, art our father, Though, Abraham, knew us not, And Israel could not acknowledge us, —Thou, O Yahweh, art our father, Our Redeemer from the Age-past time, is thy name.
Nzokande, Yo nde ozali Tata na biso; atako Abrayami ayebi biso te to Isalaele andimi biso te; kasi Yo, Yawe, ozali Tata na biso, Kombo na Yo ezali: Mosikoli na biso ya tango nyonso.
17 Wherefore shouldst thou suffer us to wander O Yahweh, from thy ways? Wherefore shouldst thou let us harden our heart past revering thee? Return thou for the sake of Thy servants, The tribes thou thyself hast inherited.
Yawe, mpo na nini kotika biso koyengayenga mosika ya nzela na Yo? Mpo na nini kokomisa mitema na biso makasi mpo ete totosa Yo te? Zongisa motema sima mpo na bolamu ya basali na Yo, mabota ya libula na Yo!
18 For a short time only, did thy holy people hold possession, —Our adversaries, trod down thy sanctuary!
Bato na Yo bazwaki esika na Yo ya bule kaka mpo na mwa tango moke; kasi sik’oyo, banguna na biso bakweyisi Ndako na Yo ya bule!
19 We have become like those Over whom from age-past times, thou hast not ruled, Who have never been called by thy name!
Wuta kala, tozalaka bato na Yo; kasi tokomi lokola bato oyo okambaka lisusu te, lokola bato oyo babengami na Kombo na Yo te.
