Isaiah 33
1 Woe to you, destroyer who has not been destroyed! Woe to the betrayer whom they have not betrayed! When you stop destroying, you will be destroyed. When you stop betraying, they will betray you.
Oh mobebisi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu obebisama te! Oh mofundi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu bafunda te! Tango okosilisa kobebisa, yo mpe bakobebisa yo, tango okosilisa kofunda, yo mpe bakofunda yo.
2 Yahweh, be gracious to us; we wait for you; be our arm every morning, our salvation in the time of trouble.
Oh Yawe, yokela biso mawa, tozali kotalela Yo! Tongo nyonso, zala makasi na biso, zala lobiko na biso na tango ya pasi!
3 At the loud noise the peoples flee; when you arise, the nations are scattered.
Kaka na lokito ya mongongo na Yo, bato bakimaka; soki otelemi, bikolo epalanganaka.
4 Your spoil is gathered as the locusts gather; as locusts leap, men leap on it.
Oh bikolo, bakolokota bomengo na bino ya bitumba ndenge balokotaka mankoko; bakosopanela yango na elulu ndenge mabanki esalaka.
5 Yahweh is exalted. He lives in a high place. He will fill Zion with justice and righteousness.
Yawe anetolami mpo ete avandaka na likolo, akotondisa Siona na bosembo mpe na solo.
6 He will be the stability in your times, abundance of salvation, wisdom, and knowledge; the fear of Yahweh is his treasure.
Mikolo ya bomoi na yo ekozala na kimia; bwanya mpe boyebi ekozala bomengo ya lobiko na yo; kotosa Yawe, yango nde bozwi na yo.
7 Look, their envoys cry in the streets; the diplomats hoping for peace weep bitterly.
Tala, basoda na bango ya mpiko bazali koganga makasi na balabala; bamemi sango ya kimia, azali kolela makasi.
8 The highways are deserted; there are no more travelers. Covenants are broken, witnesses are despised, and mankind is not respected.
Nzela ya minene esili kokawuka, ata moto moko te ya mobembo azali koleka. Mobebisi abuki boyokani, asambwisi bingumba mpe azali na botosi ya moto ata moko te.
9 The land mourns and withers away; Lebanon is ashamed and withers away; Sharon is like a desert plain; and Bashan and Carmel shake off their leaves.
Mokili ezali na matanga, esili kolemba nzoto, Libani esambwe na soni mpe elembi-lembi lokola fololo, Saroni ekomi lokola esobe mpe Bashani mpe Karimeli ekweyisi makasa na yango.
10 “Now will I arise,” says Yahweh; “now I will be lifted up; now I will be elevated.
« Sik’oyo nakotelema, » elobi Yawe. « Sik’oyo nakonetolama, sik’oyo nakotombolama.
11 You conceive chaff, and you give birth to stubble; your breath is a fire that will consume you.
Mabongisi ya mitema na bino ezali kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka mpe soki ekokisami, ezalaka kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka, pema na bino moko ekozikisa bino lokola moto.
12 The peoples will be burned to lime, as thornbushes are cut down and are burned.
Bato bakozika na libanga ya moto, ndenge nzube oyo bakata ezikaka na moto. »
13 You who are far away, hear what I have done; and, you who are near, acknowledge my might.”
Bino bato oyo bozali mosika, boyoka makambo oyo nazali kosala, bino bato oyo bozali pene, bososola nguya na ngai!
14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; trembling has seized the godless ones. Who among us can sojourn with a raging fire? Who among us can sojourn with everlasting burnings?
Bato ya masumu bazali kolenga kati na Siona, somo ekangi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe te: « Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo ezikisaka? Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo epelaka tango nyonso? »
15 He who walks righteously and speaks honestly; who despises the gain of oppression, who shakes his hand so that it will not accept a bribe, who stops his ears from hearing about bloodshed, and who shuts his eyes from looking on evil—
Moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo mpe alobaka solo, moto oyo abwakaka litomba oyo ezwami na nzela ya moyibi, moto oyo asembolaka maboko na ye te mpo na kozwa kanyaka, moto oyo akangaka matoyi na ye mpo na koboya koyoka masolo ya koboma bato, mpe oyo akangaka miso na ye mpo na koboya komona mabe.
16 this is the man who will dwell on the heights, his place of defense will be the fortress among the cliffs, his food will be given, and his water will be in steady supply.
Moto wana akovanda na likolo: mabanga ya makasi ekozala ekimelo na ye. Akozanga te lipa ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela.
17 Your eyes will see the king in his beauty; they will see a land off in the distance.
Miso na yo ekomona Mokonzi na kitoko na Ye nyonso mpe ekomona ndenge mokili ekenda kino na mosika.
18 Your heart will recall the terror; where is the scribe, where is he who weighed the money? Where is he who counted the towers?
Motema na yo ekokanisa lisusu somo oyo ozalaki koyoka: « Wapi mokonzi oyo azwaka mpako? Wapi moto oyo amekaka bakilo? Wapi moto oyo atalaka bandako na biso ya milayi? »
19 You will no longer see the defiant people, a people of a strange language that you do not understand.
Okomona lisusu bato ya lolendo te, bato oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koyoka mpe maloba na bango, pasi mpo na kososola.
20 Look at Zion, the city of our feasts; your eyes will see Jerusalem as a quiet habitation, a tent that will not be removed, whose stakes will never be pulled up nor will any of its cords be broken.
Tala Siona, engumba ya bafeti na biso ya minene, miso na yo ekomona Yelusalemi, ndako ya kimia, ndako ya kapo oyo ekopikama makasi; bakokoka kopikola makonzi na yango te, mpe basinga na yango ekokatana te.
21 Instead, Yahweh in majesty will be with us, in a place of broad rivers and streams. No warship with oars will travel it, and no large ships will sail by.
Kuna, Yawe akozala Elombe na biso. Ekozala etuka ya bibale minene mpe ya miluka. Masuwa moko te ekoya kuna, masuwa moko te ya lokumu ekoleka wana.
22 For Yahweh is our judge, Yahweh is our lawgiver, Yahweh is our king; he will save us.
Pamba te Yawe azali Mosambisi na biso, Yawe azali Mosali mibeko na biso, Yawe azali Mokonzi na biso; Ye nde akobikisa biso.
23 Your riggings are slack; they cannot hold the mast in place; they cannot spread the sail; when the great spoil is divided, even the lame will drag off the spoil.
Basinga na yo esili kolemba, ezali lisusu te kosimba malamu nzete ya bendele; ezali lisusu te kofungola malamu vwale. Boye, na tango bakokabola ebele ya bomengo ya bitumba, bato ya tengu-tengu, bango moko penza, bakobotola eteni na bango ya bomengo.
24 The inhabitants will not say, “I am sick;” the people who live there will be forgiven for their iniquity.
Movandi moke te ya Siona akoloba: « Nazali kobela! » Masumu ya bavandi ya kuna ekolimbisama.
