< Isaiah 6 >

1 During the year that King Uzziah died, [Yahweh showed me a vision. In the vision], I saw Yahweh sitting on a throne, high above everyone. He [was wearing a very long] robe that covered [the floor of] the temple.
Na mobu oyo mokonzi Oziasi akufaki, namonaki Yawe avandi na Kiti moko ya bokonzi, etombwama makasi, bongo basonge ya nzambala na Ye etondisaki Tempelo.
2 Above him were standing [several] winged creatures. Each of them had six wings. They covered their faces with two of their wings, they covered their feet with two of their wings, and they flew using two of their wings.
Ba-anjelu oyo babengaka baserafe batelemaki na likolo na Ye; moko na moko azalaki na mapapu motoba: mapapu mibale mpo na kozipa elongi, mibale mpo na kozipa makolo mpe mibale mpo na kopumbwa.
3 They were calling to each other, saying, “The Commander of the armies of angels is holy; he is completely holy! The entire earth is filled with his glory.”
Serafe moko na moko azalaki koganga na mosusu: « Bule, Bule, Bule, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! Mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo na Ye! »
4 When they spoke, it caused the doorposts of the temple to shake, and the temple was filled with smoke.
Na makelele ya mingongo na bango, mabaya oyo esimbaka bikuke ekomaki koningana, mpe Tempelo etondaki na milinga.
5 Then I said, “Terrible things will happen to me, because everything that I say [MTY] is sinful, and I live among people who constantly say [MTY] sinful things. I will be destroyed because I have seen the Commander of the armies of angels!”
Nalobaki: « Mawa na ngai! Nabebi na ngai, pamba te nazali moto ya bibebu ya mbindo, navandaka kati na bato oyo bazali na bibebu ya mbindo, mpe miso na ngai emoni Mokonzi, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! »
6 Then one of the winged creatures took a hot coal from the altar, using a pair of tongs. He flew to me
Moko kati na baserafe asimbaki, na loboko na ye, likala ya moto oyo azwaki na etumbelo na bisimbelo, apumbwaki mpe ayaki epai na ngai;
7 and touched my lips with the coal. Then he said, “Look [at what I have done]. I have touched your lips [with this coal]. [Now] your guilt is ended, and your sins are forgiven [DOU].”
atutisaki likala yango na monoko na ngai mpe alobaki: « Tala, lokola likala oyo etuti bibebu na yo, mabe na yo esili kolongwa, masumu na yo esili kolimbisama. »
8 Then I heard Yahweh asking, “Whom shall I send [to be a messenger to my people]? Who will go [and speak] for us?” I replied, “I will. Send me!”
Bongo, nayokaki mongongo na Nkolo koloba: — Nakotinda nani? Nani akokende mpo na biso? Nazongisaki: — Ngai oyo, tinda ngai!
9 Then he said, “[Okay], go, and say to the [Israeli] people, ‘You will listen carefully [to what I say], but you will not understand it. You will look very carefully [at the things that I am doing], but you will not understand them.’
Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kende koloba na bato oyo: « Boyoka na bino, kasi bokososola te; botala na bino, kasi bokomona te!
10 [What you(sg) say will] cause these people to become stubborn [IDM]; [it will cause them] to not be able to hear [what I say] and see [what I do]. [As a result, they will not] see [what I want them to see] or hear [what I want them to hear], and they will not understand it, and they will not turn to me and be saved [from being punished].”
Komisa bato oyo mitema makasi, kanga matoyi na bango mpe zipa miso na bango mpo ete bamona te na miso na bango, bayoka te na matoyi na bango, basosola te na mitema na bango, babongwana te mpe babika te! »
11 Then I said, “How long [do you want me to continue to do that]?” He replied, “[Do it] until their cities are ruined [by their enemies], [until] no one is living in their houses, [do it until] all the crops are stolen from their fields and the fields are ruined.
Boye nalobaki: — Oh Nkolo, kino tango nini? Azongisaki: — Kino bingumba ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te, kino tango bato bakotikala lisusu na bandako te, mpe bilanga ekobebisama mpe bakosakanela yango;
12 [Do it] until I have (exiled everyone/forced everyone to go to their enemies’ lands) far away, and the whole land [of Israel] is deserted.
kino tango Yawe akotinda bato mosika, kino tango bakobosana penza mokili libela.
13 If [even] one tenth [of the people survive and] stay there, [their enemies] will [invade the land again and] burn everything. [But, just] like [MET] when an oak [tree] is cut down, a stump is left [from which new shoots will grow], the people who remain [in this land will be a group that will become large again] and be (set apart for/dedicated to) me.”
Soki ndambo moko kati na bandambo zomi ya bato ekotikala na mokili, bakobebisama na moto. Kasi ndenge terebente mpe nzete oyo babengaka sheni etikaka misisa na yango soki bakati yango, ndenge wana mpe nkona ya bule ekotika misisa na mokili.
