Isaiah 9
1 The gloom will be dispelled from her who was in anguish. In an earlier time he humiliated the land of Zebulun and the land of Naphtali, but in the later time he will make it glorious, the way to the sea, beyond the Jordan, Galilee of the nations.
Nzokande, molili ekozala lisusu te mpo na bato oyo bazalaki na pasi. Na tango ya kala, Nzambe asambwisaki mokili ya Zabuloni mpe ya Nefitali; kasi na mikolo oyo ekoya, Nzambe akopesa lokumu na Galile ya bapagano, na nzela ya ebale monene, na ngambo mosusu ya Yordani.
2 The people who walked in darkness have seen a great light; those who have lived in the land of the shadow of death, the light has shone on them.
Bato oyo bazalaki kotambola kati na molili bamoni pole makasi; ba-oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na mokili ya bakufi, pole engengeli bango.
3 You have multiplied the nation; you have increased their joy. They rejoice before you like the joy at harvest time, as men rejoice when they divide the plunder.
Okomisaki bango ekolo monene, obakisaki esengo na bango. Bazali kosepela liboso na Yo ndenge basepelaka tango babukaka milona, ndenge mibali basepelaka tango bakabolaka bomengo ya bitumba.
4 For the yoke of his burden, the beam across his shoulder, the rod of his oppressor, you have shattered as on the day of Midian.
Pamba te ekangiseli oyo ezalaki na likolo na bango, nzete oyo ezalaki na mapeka na bango mpe fimbu oyo na nzela na yango bazalaki konyokola bango, Yo, obukaki yango lokola na mokolo ya kokweya ya Madiani.
5 For every boot treading in the tumult and the garments rolled in blood will be burned, fuel for the fire.
Basapato nyonso ya basoda oyo lokito na yango eningisaka mabele, mpe bilamba nyonso oyo etondaki na makila, ekobwakama na moto mpo ete ezika makasi.
6 For to us a child has been born, to us a son has been given; and the rule will be on his shoulder; and his name will be called Wonderful Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, Prince of Peace.
Pamba te mwana mobali moko abotami mpo na biso, mwana mobali moko apesameli biso, mpe bokonzi ezali na likolo ya mapeka na ye; bakobenga ye: Mosungi ya kokamwa, Nzambe ya nguya, Tata ya seko, Mokonzi ya kimia.
7 Of the increase of his government and of peace there will be no end, as he rules on the throne of David, and over his kingdom, to establish it and sustain it with justice and with righteousness from this time onward and for evermore. The zeal of Yahweh of hosts will do this.
Bokonzi na ye ekokende mosika penza, mpe kimia na ye ekozala na suka te. Akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi, akozala mokonzi ya mokili na ye, akolendisa mpe akokamba yango na bosembo mpe na boyengebene, wuta na tango oyo kino libela na libela. Yango nde makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akosala na bolingo makasi na Ye.
8 The Lord sent a word against Jacob, and it fell on Israel.
Nkolo atindaki liloba mpo na kotelemela Jakobi, mpe liloba yango ekomeli Isalaele.
9 All the people will know, even Ephraim and the inhabitants of Samaria, who say in pride and with an arrogant heart,
Bato nyonso bakoyeba yango, Efrayimi mpe bavandi ya Samari, oyo balobaka na lofundu mpe na lolendo ya mitema:
10 “The bricks have fallen, but we will rebuild with chiseled stone; the sycamores have been cut down, but we will put cedars in their place.”
« Ata babiliki ekweyi, tokotonga lisusu na mabanga bakata; ata bakati banzete ya sikomori, tokotia na esika na yango banzete ya sedele. »
11 Therefore Yahweh will raise up against him Rezin, his adversary, and will stir up his enemies,
Kasi Yawe alendisaki bayini ya Retsini mpo na kobundisa bango mpe apelisaki mitema ya banguna na bango mpo ete batombokela bango.
12 the Arameans on the east, and the Philistines on the west. They will devour Israel with open mouth. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
Bato ya Siri na liboso, mpe bato ya Filisitia na sima, bapasolaki Isalaele mpe baliaki ye na lokoso. Kasi atako bongo, kanda ya Yawe ekitaki kaka te, loboko na Ye etikalaki kaka ya kosembolama.
13 Yet the people will not turn to him who struck them, nor will they seek Yahweh of hosts.
Kasi atako bongo, bato bazongaki kaka te epai na Yawe oyo abetaki bango, mpe balukaki te Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
14 Therefore Yahweh will cut off from Israel head and tail, palm branch and reed, in one day.
Yango wana, kaka na mokolo moko, Yawe akokata, kati na Isalaele, moto mpe mokila, lindalala mpe nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi.
15 The leader and the noble man are the head; and the prophet that teaches lies is the tail.
Bampaka mpe bato ya lokumu, bango nde moto; mpe basakoli ya lokuta, bango nde mokila.
16 Those who lead this people lead them astray, and those who are led by them are swallowed up.
Bakambi ya bato babungisi bato na bango nzela, mpe bato oyo balandaka bango bakomi kotelengana.
17 Therefore the Lord will not rejoice over their young men nor will he have compassion on their fatherless and widows, since every one is godless and an evildoer, and every mouth speaks foolish things. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
Yango wana, Nkolo akosepela na bilenge te, akoyokela bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali mawa te, pamba te bango nyonso bazali kotiola Nzambe, bazali kosala mabe, mpe minoko nyonso ezali kobimisa maloba ya bozoba. Kasi atako bongo, kanda ya Yawe ekitaki te, loboko na Ye etikalaki kaka ya kosembolama.
18 Wickedness burns like a fire; it devours the briers and thorns; it even burns the thickets of the forest, which rise in a column of smoke.
Solo, mabe etumbaka lokola moto oyo ezikisaka basende mpe banzube, ezikisaka bazamba minene mpe ematisaka makonzi ya milinga.
19 Through the fury of Yahweh of hosts the land is scorched, and the people are like fuel for the fire. No man spares his brother.
Na kanda makasi ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mokili eziki na moto, mpe bato bakomi lokola mafuta na moto. Moto moko te akobikisa ndeko na ye.
20 They will grab food on the right hand but still be hungry; they will eat food on the left hand but will not be satisfied. Each will even eat the flesh of his own arm.
Na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali, bakobotola bato biloko, kasi bato bakozala kaka na nzala; na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, bakolia, kasi bato bakotonda kaka te; moko na moko akolia mosuni ya loboko na ye:
21 Manasseh will devour Ephraim, and Ephraim, Manasseh; and they together will attack Judah. In all these things, his anger does not subside; instead, his hand is still stretched out.
Manase akolia Efrayimi, mpe Efrayimi akolia Manase; bango mibale bakosangana mpe bakobalukela Yuda. Kasi atako bongo, kanda ya Yawe ekitaki kaka te, loboko na Ye etikalaki kaka ya kosembolama.
