Isaiah 52
1 Awake, awake; put on thy strength, O Zion; put on thy beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city: for henceforth there shall no more come into thee the uncircumcised and the unclean.
Oh Siona, lamuka, lamuka! Tika ete omikomisa lisusu makasi. Yelusalemi, engumba ya bule, lata bilamba na yo ya lokumu, pamba te ezala moto oyo bakata ngenga te to moto ya mbindo, akokota lisusu kati na yo te.
2 Shake thyself from the dust; arise, and sit down, O Jerusalem: loose thyself from the bands of thy neck, O captive daughter of Zion.
Oh Yelusalemi, milongola na putulu, telema mpe vanda na esika na yo ya lokumu! Oh Siona, mboka kitoko, yo oyo ozali mokangami, kata minyololo na kingo na yo!
3 For thus saith the LORD, Ye have sold yourselves for nothing; and ye shall be redeemed without money.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Lokola bomitekaki na ofele, bokosikolama mpe na mbongo te. »
4 For thus saith the Lord GOD, My people went down in times past into Egypt to sojourn there; and the Assyrian oppressed them without cause.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Na ebandeli, bato na Ngai bakendeki na Ejipito mpo na kovanda kuna lokola bapaya; mpe na sima, Asiri anyokolaki bango.
5 Now therefore, what have I here, saith the LORD, that my people is taken away for nothing? they that rule over them make them to wail, saith the LORD; and my name continually every day is blasphemed.
Sik’oyo, eloko nini nasili kozwa awa, » elobi Yawe? « Pamba te bamemaki bato na Ngai na pamba, mpe bato oyo bazali kokonza bango bazali koganga makasi, » elobi Yawe, « mpe, mokolo na mokolo mpe tango nyonso, Kombo na Ngai ezali kofingama.
6 Therefore my people shall know my name: therefore they shall know in that day that I am he that doth speak: behold, it is I.
Yango wana, bato na Ngai bakoyeba Kombo na Ngai; yango wana, na mokolo wana, bakoyeba ete Ngai moko nde nasakolaki yango. Solo, ezali nde Ngai. »
7 How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that proclaimeth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that proclaimeth salvation; that saith to Zion, Thy God reigneth!
Tala ndenge ezali kitoko, na likolo ya bangomba, makolo ya bato oyo basakolaka basango ya malamu, ba-oyo batatolaka kimia, ba-oyo bamemaka basango ya boboto, ba-oyo basakolaka lobiko, ba-oyo balobaka na Siona: « Nzambe na yo azali Mokonzi! »
8 Thy watchmen shall lift up the voice; with the voice together shall they sing: for they shall see eye to eye, when the LORD shall bring again Zion.
Yoka! Bakengeli na yo batomboli mingongo; bazali koganga elongo na esengo, pamba te, na miso na bango, bakomona Yawe kozonga lisusu na Siona.
9 Break forth into joy, sing together, ye waste places of Jerusalem: for the LORD hath comforted his people, he hath redeemed Jerusalem.
Bino mipiku ya mabanga ya Yelusalemi, boyemba elongo banzembo ya esengo, pamba te Yawe abondisi bato na Ye, asikoli Yelusalemi.
10 The LORD hath made bare his holy arm in the eyes of all the nations; and all the ends of the earth shall see the salvation of our God.
Yawe asemboli na pole loboko na Ye ya bule na miso ya bikolo nyonso; mpe suka nyonso ya mokili ekomona Lobiko ya Nzambe na biso.
11 Depart ye, depart ye, go ye out from there, touch no unclean thing; go ye out of the midst of her; be ye clean, that bear the vessels of the LORD.
Bokende, bokende, bobima awa! Bosimba eloko moko te ya mbindo! Bobima kati na yango mpe bozala peto, bino oyo bomemi bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Yawe!
12 For ye shall not go out with haste, nor go by flight: for the LORD will go before you; and the God of Israel will be your rear guard.
Kasi na mbala oyo, bokobima na kowela te mpe bokokende te lokola bato bazali kokima, pamba te Yawe akotambola liboso na bino mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele akozala Mokengeli na bino na sima.
13 Behold, my servant shall deal prudently, he shall be exalted and extolled, and be very high.
Tala, mosali na ngai akosala na bwanya, akotombolama, akomata likolo mpe akonetolama makasi penza.
14 As many were astonished at thee; his visage was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
Ndenge bato mingi bazalaki na somo mpo na ye na ndenge abebaki, elongi na ye etikalaki lisusu te lokola elongi ya moto, mpe lolenge na ye etikalaki lisusu te lokola mwana ya moto nyonso,
15 So shall he sprinkle many nations; the kings shall shut their mouths at him: for that which had not been told them shall they see; and that which they had not heard shall they consider.
ndenge wana mpe bato ya bikolo bakokamwa, mpe bakonzi bakokanga minoko na bango na tina na ye, pamba te bakomona oyo nanu babetela bango lisolo te mpe bakososola oyo nanu bayoka te.
