Isaiah 13
1 The burden of Babylon, which Isaiah the son of Amoz saw.
Maloba ya kosambisa Babiloni, oyo Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, azwaki na emoniseli:
2 Set up a banner on the bare mountain! Lift up your voice to them! Wave your hand, that they may go into the gates of the nobles.
Botombola bendele likolo ya ngomba oyo ezanga banzete, boganga epai na bango; bopepa bango loboko mpo ete bakota na bikuke ya bakambi.
3 I have commanded my consecrated ones; yes, I have called my mighty men for my anger, even my proudly exulting ones.
Napesaki mitindo epai na bato oyo babulisama mpo na Ngai; nabengisaki lisusu bilombe na Ngai, bato oyo basepelaka na lokumu na Ngai, mpo na kosilisa kanda na Ngai.
4 The noise of a multitude is in the mountains, as of a great people; the noise of an uproar of the kingdoms of the nations gathered together! The LORD of Armies is mustering the army for the battle.
Boyoka makelele likolo ya bangomba: ezali lokola makelele ya bato ebele! Boyoka lokito ya makelele ya bikolo: ezali lokola bikolo esangana esika moko! Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, azali kotala mampinga ya basoda oyo bazali pene ya kokende na etumba.
5 They come from a far country, from the uttermost part of heaven, even the LORD, and the weapons of his indignation, to destroy the whole land.
Bawuti na mikili ya mosika, na suka ya likolo; Yawe elongo na bisalelo ya kanda na Ye; mpo na kobebisa mokili mobimba.
6 Wail, for the LORD’s day is at hand! It will come as destruction from the Almighty.
Bolela, pamba te mokolo na Yawe ekomi pene, ekoya lokola kobebisama oyo ewuti na Nkolo-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
7 Therefore all hands will be feeble, and everyone’s heart will melt.
Yango wana, maboko nyonso ekolemba mpe mitema ya bato nyonso ekobukana.
8 They will be dismayed. Pangs and sorrows will seize them. They will be in pain like a woman in labour. They will look in amazement one at another. Their faces will be faces of flame.
Somo makasi ekokweyela bango, pasi mpe kobanga ekotika bango te; bakobunda-bunda lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota. Bango na bango bakotalana na kokamwa mpe bilongi na bango ekokoma lokola moto.
9 Behold, the day of the LORD comes, cruel, with wrath and fierce anger; to make the land a desolation, and to destroy its sinners out of it.
Tala, mokolo na Yawe ezali koya, ezali mokolo moko ya pasi, mokolo ya kotomboka mpe ya kanda makasi mpo na kobebisa mokili mpe koboma bato ya masumu kati na yango.
10 For the stars of the sky and its constellations will not give their light. The sun will be darkened in its going out, and the moon will not cause its light to shine.
Minzoto na likolo mpe minda nyonso oyo ezali pene na yango ekopesa lisusu pole na yango te: moyi ekokoma molili tango tongo ekotana, mpe sanza ekopesa lisusu pole na yango te.
11 I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity. I will cause the arrogance of the proud to cease, and will humble the arrogance of the terrible.
Nakopesa etumbu na mokili mpo na mabe na yango, mpe bato mabe, mpo na masumu na bango. Nakosukisa lofundu ya bato ya lolendo mpe nakokitisa lolendo ya banyokoli.
12 I will make people more rare than fine gold, even a person than the pure gold of Ophir.
Nakosala ete bato bakoma ya koluka lokola wolo ya peto, lokola wolo ya mboka Ofiri.
13 Therefore I will make the heavens tremble, and the earth will be shaken out of its place in the LORD of Armies’ wrath, and in the day of his fierce anger.
Yango wana nakolengisa likolo, mpe mabele ekoningana na bisimbelo na yango na kanda makasi ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, na mokolo oyo akopelisa kanda na Ye.
14 It will happen that like a hunted gazelle and like sheep that no one gathers, they will each turn to their own people, and will each flee to their own land.
Lokola mboloko oyo bazali kolanda, lokola bameme oyo ezanga mobateli, moko na moko akozonga epai ya bato na ye, moko na moko akokima kino na mboka ya bakoko na ye.
15 Everyone who is found will be thrust through. Everyone who is captured will fall by the sword.
Bakotobola na likonga moto nyonso oyo bakokanga. Bato nyonso oyo bakozwa, bakokufa na mopanga.
16 Their infants also will be dashed in pieces before their eyes. Their houses will be ransacked, and their wives raped.
Bakokata-kata bana na bango na biteni na miso na bango, bakobebisa bandako na bango mpe bakozwa basi na bango na makasi.
17 Behold, I will stir up the Medes against them, who will not value silver, and as for gold, they will not delight in it.
Tala, nakotelemisa bato ya Medi ete batelemela bango, bato oyo palata elobelaka bango eloko moko te mpe basepelaka na bango na wolo te.
18 Their bows will dash the young men in pieces; and they shall have no pity on the fruit of the womb. Their eyes will not spare children.
Boye, tolotolo na bango ekoboma bilenge mibali mpe bakoyokela mbuma ya libumu mawa te: liso na bango ekotala bana na mawa te.
19 Babylon, the glory of kingdoms, the beauty of the Chaldeans’ pride, will be like when God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah.
Nzambe akokweyisa Babiloni, kongenga ya babokonzi, nkembo ya lolendo ya bato ya Chalide, ndenge akweyisaki Sodome mpe Gomore.
20 It will never be inhabited, neither will it be lived in from generation to generation. The Arabian will not pitch a tent there, neither will shepherds make their flocks lie down there.
Bato bakotikala kovanda lisusu kuna te to ekozala lisusu na bato te na milongo nyonso; kuna, moto ya Arabi akopika te ndako na ye ya kapo, mpe babateli bibwele bakopemisa te banyama na bango.
21 But wild animals of the desert will lie there, and their houses will be full of jackals. Ostriches will dwell there, and wild goats will frolic there.
Kasi bikelamu ya esobe nde ekokoma kolala kuna; bambwa ya zamba nde ekotondisa bandako na yango, ba-esulungutu ekotonda na bandako, maligbanga ekokoma kovanda kuna mpe bantaba ya zamba ekokoma kopumbwa-pumbwa kuna.
22 Hyenas will cry in their fortresses, and jackals in the pleasant palaces. Her time is near to come, and her days will not be prolonged.
Banyawu ya zamba ekotonda na bandako na bango ya makasi, mpe bambwa ya zamba ekotonda na bandako na bango ya kitoko. Tango na yango esili kobelema, mpe mikolo na yango ekopusana lisusu te.
