Isaiah 3
1 See, the Lord Yahweh of hosts is about to take away from Jerusalem and from Judah support and staff: the whole supply of bread and the whole supply of water,
Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akomi pene ya kobotola masungi nyonso, kati na Yelusalemi mpe kati na Yuda: lisungi ya bilei mpe lisungi ya mayi;
2 the mighty man and the warrior, the judge and the prophet, the one who practices divination and the elder,
bilombe mpe basoda ya mpiko, basambisi mpe basakoli, bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya mpe bakambi;
3 the captain of fifty and the respected citizen, the counselor, the expert craftsman and the skillful enchanter.
bakonzi ya basoda mpe bato ya lokumu, bapesi toli, bato mayele ya misala ya maboko mpe bato oyo basalelaka maji.
4 “I will place mere youths as their leaders, and the young will rule over them.
Nakosala ete bilenge mibali bakoma bakonzi na bango mpe bana mike bakamba bango.
5 The people will be oppressed, every one by another, and every one by his neighbor; the child will insult the elderly, and the degraded will challenge the honorable.
Bato bakokoma konyokolana bango na bango: moko akonyokola mosusu, mpe moninga akonyokola moninga na ye mosusu; bilenge bakotosa mikolo te, bato pamba bakotelemela bato ya lokumu;
6 A man will even take hold of his brother in his father's house and say, 'You have a coat; be our ruler, and let this ruin be in your hands.'
moko akokanga ndeko na ye ya mobali kati na ndako ya tata na bango mpe akoloba: « Yo oyo ozali na kazaka, okozala mokonzi na biso, kamata mokumba ya libebi oyo na maboko! »
7 On that day he will shout and say, 'I will not be a healer; I have no bread or clothing. You will not make me ruler of the people.'”
Kasi na mokolo wana, akoganga: « Te, nazali na ngai monganga te, mpe nazali na bilei to bilamba te kati na ndako na ngai; bokomisa ngai mokonzi te! »
8 For Jerusalem has stumbled, and Judah has fallen, because their speech and their actions are against Yahweh, defying the eyes of his glory.
Yelusalemi ezali kotepatepa, mpe Yuda ekweyi; mpo ete maloba mpe misala na bango ezali ya botomboki liboso ya Yawe, ezali kotelemela lokumu ya Kombo na Ye.
9 The look on their faces witnesses against them; and they tell of their sin like Sodom; they do not hide it. Woe to them! For they have completed a catastrophe for themselves.
Bilongi na bango ezali kofunda bango; bazali kolakisa masumu na bango ndenge bato ya Sodome bazalaki kosala, bazali kobomba yango te. Mawa na bango, pamba te bamilukeli nde makambo!
10 Tell the righteous person that it will be well, for they will eat the fruit of their deeds.
Loba na moto ya sembo: « Bolamu ekobila yo, pamba te okosepela na mbuma ya misala na yo. »
11 Woe to the wicked! It will go badly for him, for the recompense of his hands will be done to him.
Mawa na moto mabe! Pasi ezali likolo na ye, pamba te akozwa lifuti kolanda misala na ye.
12 My people—children are their oppressors, and women rule over them. My people, those who guide you lead you astray and confuse the direction of your path.
Bilenge bazali konyokola bato na Ngai, basi bazali koyangela bango. Oh bato na Ngai, bakambi na bino babungisi bino nzela, babimisi bino libanda ya nzela oyo bosengeli kolanda!
13 Yahweh stands up for an accusation; he is standing to accuse the people.
Yawe atelemi na esambiselo, atelemi mpo na kosambisa bato.
14 Yahweh will come with judgment against the elders of his people and their leaders: “You have ruined the vineyard; the plunder from the poor is in your houses.
Yawe akosamba elongo na bampaka mpe bakambi ya bato na Ye: « Ezali nde bino bato bobebisi elanga na Ngai ya vino! Botondisi bandako na bino na biloko oyo bobotoli epai ya babola!
15 Why do you crush my people and grind the faces of the poor?” This is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts.
Mpo na nini bozali konyata bato na Ngai mpe kotiola bomoto ya babola; » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga?
16 Yahweh says that because the daughters of Zion are proud, they walk with their necks extended, with flirting eyes, walking with tiny steps as they go, making tinkling sounds from bracelets on their ankles.
Yawe alobi: « Lokola basi ya Siona bazali lofundu, lokola batambolaka mapeka likolo mpe balalisaka miso na lofundu, lokola batambolaka na kodenda malembe-malembe mpe na kolelisa biloko ya monzele oyo balataka na makolo na bango,
17 Therefore the Lord will form scabs on the heads of the daughters of Zion, and Yahweh will make them bald.
Yawe akokomisa mito ya basi ya Siona mapalata mpe akotika bango bolumbu. »
18 On that day the Lord will remove their beautiful ankle jewelry, head bands, the crescent ornaments,
Na mokolo wana, Nkolo akolongola bango biloko na bango oyo basalelaka monzele: basheneti oyo balataka na makolo mpe babiju ya talo oyo ezalaka lokola moyi mpe sanza;
19 the ear pendants, the bracelets, and the veils;
biloko ya matoyi, basheneti oyo balataka na maboko, bavwale,
20 the headscarves, the ankle chains, the sashes, and the perfume boxes, and the lucky charms.
bitendi oyo bakangaka na mito, basheneti, mikaba, milangi ya malasi, bakisi ya kokangela nzoto,
21 He will remove the rings and the nose jewels;
bapete ya mosapi, bapete ya zolo,
22 the festive robes, the mantles, the veils, and the handbags;
bilamba ya feti, banzambala oyo etika nzoto, bakazaka, basakosi ya mike,
23 the hand mirrors, the fine linen, the head pieces, and the wraps.
bilamba oyo emonisaka nzoto, bilamba ya lino, maputa mpe bitambala.
24 Instead of sweet perfume there will be stench; and instead of a sash, a rope; instead of well-arranged hair, baldness; and instead of a robe, a covering of sackcloth; and branding instead of beauty.
Na esika ya solo kitoko ya malasi, ekozala nde solo mabe; na esika ya mokaba, ekozela nde singa; na esika ya suki bakanga kitoko na moto, ekozala nde libandi; na esika ya bilamba ya talo, ekozala nde bilamba ya saki; na esika ya elongi kitoko, ekozala nde elongi mabe.
25 Your men will fall by the sword, and your strong men will fall in war.
Mibali na bino bakokufa na mipanga, basoda na bino ya mpiko bakokufa na bitumba.
26 Jerusalem's gates will lament and mourn; and she will be alone and sit upon the ground.
Bikuke ya Siona ekolela mpe ekozala na matanga; boye Siona ekokelela mpe ekovanda na mabele.
