Isaiah 21
1 The burden of the wilderness of the sea. 'Like hurricanes in the south for passing through, From the wilderness it hath come, From a fearful land.
Maloba na Yawe na tina na esobe ya ebale monene: Ndenge mopepe makasi elekaka na somo na Negevi, monguna moko azali koya wuta na esobe, wuta na mokili moko ya somo.
2 A hard vision hath been declared to me, The treacherous dealer is dealing treacherously, And the destroyer is destroying. Go up, O Elam, besiege, O Media, All its sighing I have caused to cease.
Namonaki emoniseli moko ya somo: Moteki baninga azali koteka baninga, mobebisi azali kobebisa. Elami, bundisa bango! Medi, zingela bango! Nakosukisa kolela nyonso oyo ayeisaki na bato.
3 Therefore filled have been my loins [with] great pain, Pangs have seized me as pangs of a travailing woman, I have been bent down by hearing, I have been troubled by seeing.
Yango wana, loketo na ngai ekomi na pasi, pasi moko ya makasi penza ekangi ngai lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota. Makambo oyo nazali koyoka ezali kopesa ngai somo, mpe oyo nazali komona ezali kosilisa ngai mayele.
4 Wandered hath my heart, trembling hath terrified me, The twilight of my desire He hath made a fear to me,
Motema na ngai ezali kobeta noki-noki, nakomi kolenga na somo, mwa malili ya pokwa oyo nazelaka na esengo ekomeli ngai somo makasi.
5 Arrange the table, watch in the watch-tower, Eat, drink, rise, ye heads, anoint the shield,
Mesa ebongisami, batandi bilamba ya mesa, bazali kolia mpe komela! Bino bakonzi ya basoda, bopakola banguba na bino mafuta!
6 For thus said the Lord unto me: 'Go, station the watchman, That which he seeth let him declare.'
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo alobi na ngai: « Kende, tia mokengeli; mpe tika ete aloba makambo oyo akomona.
7 And he hath seen a chariot — a couple of horsemen, The rider of an ass, the rider of a camel, And he hath given attention — He hath increased attention!
Soki amoni shar oyo bampunda mibale ezali kobenda, basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, bamoko bamati likolo ya ba-ane, bamosusu bamati likolo ya bashamo, tika ete asala keba, asala keba penza! »
8 And he crieth — a lion, 'On a watch-tower my lord, I am standing continually by day, And on my ward I am stationed whole nights.
Boye, mokengeli agangaki lokola nkosi: « Nkolo, mokolo mobimba, natelemaka na likolo ya ndako molayi ya kokengela; mpe butu nyonso, natikalaka kaka se wana.
9 And lo, this, the chariot of a man is coming, A couple of horsemen.' And he answereth and saith: 'Fallen, fallen hath Babylon, And all the graven images of her gods He hath broken to the earth.
Tala, moto moko azali koya awa na shar, oyo bampunda mibale ezali kobenda. Azongisaki eyano: ‹ Babiloni esili kokweya, ekweyi solo! Banzambe na yango nyonso ya bikeko elali-lali mpe epanzani na mabele! › »
10 O my threshing, and the son of my floor, That which I heard from Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, I have declared to you!'
Oh bato na ngai, babeti bino ndenge batutaka ble na libanda! Nazali koyebisa bino makambo oyo nayokaki wuta epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, wuta epai ya Nzambe ya Isalaele.
11 The burden of Dumah. Unto me is [one] calling from Seir 'Watchman, what of the night? Watchman, what of the night?'
Maloba na Yawe na tina na Duma. Moto moko azali kobelela Ngai wuta Seiri: « Mokengeli, olobi nini mpo na butu? Mokengeli olobi nini mpo na butu? »
12 The watchman hath said, 'Come hath morning, and also night, If ye inquire, inquire ye, turn back, come.'
Mokengeli azongisaki: Tongo elingi kotana, kasi butu mpe elingi koya. Soki bolingi kotuna mituna, botuna; bongo bozonga mpe boya lisusu.
13 The burden on Arabia. In a forest in Arabia ye lodge, O travellers of Dedanim.
Maloba na Yawe mpo na kotelemela Arabi: Oh bino bato ya mombongo ya Dedani, bokolala na esobe ya Arabi.
14 To meet the thirsty brought water have Inhabitants of the land of Tema, With his bread they came before a fugitive.
Bopesa mayi na moto oyo azali na posa ya mayi; bino bavandi ya mokili ya Tema, bopesa bilei na bato oyo bazali kokima bitumba.
15 For from the face of destructions they fled, From the face of a stretched-out sword, And from the face of a trodden bow, And from the face of the grievousness of battle.
Pamba te bazali nde kokima mopanga, mopanga oyo babimisi na ebombelo na yango, bazali nde kokima tolotolo oyo etelemi makasi mpe bitumba ya makasi.
16 For thus said the Lord unto me: 'Within a year, as years of a hireling, Consumed hath been all the honour of Kedar.
Tala liloba oyo Nkolo alobaki na ngai: « Etikali kaka mobu moko, ndenge batangaka mikolo ya mowumbu, nkembo nyonso ya Kedari ekosuka.
17 And the remnant of the number of bow-men, The mighty of the sons of Kedar are few, For Jehovah, God of Israel, hath spoken!'
Bongo, ekotikala kaka mwa ndambo moke ya basoda oyo babundaka na matolotolo mpe ya basoda ya mpiko kati na Kedari, » elobi Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
