Isaiah 28
1 Woe [to] the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim. And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory, That [is] on the head of the fat valley of the broken down of wine.
Mawa na motole ya lolendo ya balangwi masanga ya Efrayimi mpe na fololo ekawuka, fololo oyo ezalaki kosala kitoko na yango, oyo ezalaki na moto ya lubwaku ya mabele kitoko, na engumba wana oyo balangwi masanga ya vino bazalaki kosalela lolendo!
2 Lo, a mighty and strong one [is] to the Lord, As a storm of hail — a destructive shower, As an inundation of mighty waters overflowing, He cast down to the earth with the hand.
Tala, Nkolo azali na elombe moko ya nguya mpe ya makasi, elombe yango azali lokola mvula ya mabanga mpe mopepe oyo ebebisaka; azali lokola mvula ya makasi mpe mpela ya somo, akokweyisa na makasi engumba yango na mabele.
3 By feet trodden down is the proud crown of the drunkards of Ephraim,
Motole ya lolendo ya balangwi masanga ya Efrayimi ekonyatama na makolo;
4 And the fading flower of the beauty of his glory That [is] on the head of the fat valley, Hath been as its first-fruit before summer, That its beholder seeth, While it [is] yet in his hand he swalloweth it.
mpe fololo ekawuka oyo ezalaki kosala kitoko na yango na moto ya lubwaku ya kitoko ekokoma lokola mbuma ya figi ya liboso oyo ebotaka liboso ya eleko ya molunge: soki kaka moto amoni yango, akobuka mpe akomela yango mbala moko.
5 In that day is Jehovah of Hosts For a crown of beauty, and for a diadem of glory, To the remnant of His people.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akozala motole ya lokumu mpe elembo ya kitoko mpo na ndambo ya bato na Ye;
6 And for a spirit of judgment To him who is sitting in the judgment, And for might [to] those turning back the battle to the gate.
akopesa makanisi ya bosembo epai na ye oyo avandi mpo na kosambisa, mpe akozala mopesi makasi epai na bato oyo babenganaka na bitumba kino na ekuke.
7 And even these through wine have erred, And through strong drink have wandered, Priest and prophet erred through strong drink, They have been swallowed up of the wine, They wandered because of the strong drink, They have erred in seeing, They have stumbled judicially.
Mpe lisusu, Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli bapengwi mpo na masanga ya vino; masanga makasi ekomi kotengisa-tengisa bango; masanga epengwisi bango, vino ebungisi bango, masanga makasi ekomi kotengisa-tengisa bango; bakomi kobunga na bimoniseli na bango, bakomi kokata makambo na ndenge esengeli te.
8 For all tables have been full of vomit, Filth — without place!
Bamesa nyonso etondi na bisanza ya nkele; esika ya malamu etikali lisusu te.
9 By whom doth He teach knowledge? And by whom doth He cause to understand the report? The weaned from milk, the removed from breasts,
Azali nani, ye oyo azali koluka koteya? Alingi kolimbola bimoniseli na ye epai ya banani? Epai ya bana oyo balongoli na mabele, bana oyo bakati bango mabele?
10 For rule [is] on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there,
Pamba te ezali nde « Bilobaloba ya pamba. »
11 For by scorned lip, and by another tongue, Doth He speak unto this people.
Solo, Nzambe akoloba na bato oyo na nzela ya likukuma mpe na lokota ya bapaya;
12 Unto whom He hath said, 'This [is] the rest, give ye rest to the weary, And this — the refreshing:' And they have not been willing to hear,
alobaki na bango: « Tala esika ya kopema! Tika ete moto oyo alembi apema; » mpe: « Tala esika ya kimia, » kasi balingaki koyoka te.
13 And to whom a word of Jehovah hath been, Rule on rule, rule on rule, line on line, line on line, A little here, a little there, So that they go and have stumbled backward, And been broken, and snared, and captured.
Bongo Liloba na Yawe ekokoma mpo na bango se bilobaloba ya pamba mpo ete, wana ezali bango kotambola, bakweya na ndenge ya sima, babukana mikongo, bazwama na mitambo mpe bakangama.
14 Therefore, hear a word of Jehovah, ye men of scorning, Ruling this people that [is] in Jerusalem.
Yango wana, bino batioli oyo bozali kokamba bato ya Yelusalemi, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
15 Because ye have said: 'We have made a covenant with death, And with Sheol we have made a provision, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Doth not meet us, Though we have made a lie our refuge, And in falsehood have been hidden.' (Sheol h7585)
Bozali koloba: « Tosalaki boyokani elongo na kufa, boyokani elongo na mboka ya bakufi. Tango likama ya makasi ekoya, ekozwa biso te; pamba te tokomisi lokuta ekimelo na biso mpe makambo ya lokuta ebombamelo na biso. » (Sheol h7585)
16 Therefore, thus said the Lord Jehovah: 'Lo, I am laying a foundation in Zion, A stone — a tried stone, a corner stone precious, a settled foundation, He who is believing doth not make haste.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Tala, nasili kotia libanga moko kati na Siona, libanga ya makasi, libanga ya songe ya ndako, libanga ya motuya mpo na moboko ya malonga; moto oyo akozwa yango lokola eyekamelo na ye akotikala kobanga te.
17 And I have put judgment for a line, And righteousness for a plummet, And sweep away doth hail the refuge of lies, And the secret hiding-place do waters overflow.
Nakotia bosembo lokola singa oyo bamekelaka molayi mpe boyengebene lokola singa ya mbodi; mvula ya mabanga ekokombola ekimelo na bino ya lokuta, mpe mayi ekozindisa ebombamelo na bino.
18 And disannulled hath been your covenant with death, And your provision with Sheol doth not stand, An overflowing scourge, when it passeth over, Then ye have been to it for a treading-place. (Sheol h7585)
Boyokani na bino elongo na kufa ekobebisama, boyokani oyo bosalaki elongo na mokili ya bakufi ekolonga te; tango likama ya makasi ekokomela bino, ekobebisa bino penza nye. (Sheol h7585)
19 From the fulness of its passing over it taketh you, For morning by morning it passeth over, By day and by night, And it hath been only a trembling to consider the report.
Tango makambo nyonso oyo ekoya, ekobebisa bino; pamba te ekoleka na tongo nyonso, na moyi nyonso mpe na butu nyonso. » Bososoli ya emoniseli oyo ekomema nde somo makasi.
20 For shorter hath been the bed Than to stretch one's self out in, And the covering hath been narrower Than to wrap one's self up in.
Boye, ndenge balobaka na lisese: « Mbeto eleki mokuse mpo na kominyolusa, mpe bulangeti eleki moke mpo na komizipa nzoto; »
21 For as [at] mount Perazim rise doth Jehovah, As [at] the valley in Gibeon He is troubled, To do His work — strange [is] His work, And to do His deed — strange [is] His deed.'
Yawe akotelema ndenge atelemaki na ngomba Perasimi, akotomboka ndenge atombokaki na lubwaku ya Gabaoni mpo na kosala mosala na Ye, mosala na Ye oyo ya kokamwa, mpe kokokisa mosala na Ye, mosala ya kokamwa oyo esalema nanu te.
22 And now, show not yourselves scorners, Lest strong be your bands, For a consumption, that is determined, I have heard, by the Lord, Jehovah of Hosts, [Is] for all the land.
Sik’oyo, botika maseki na bino, noki te minyololo na bino ekokoma lisusu makasi; pamba te Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ayebisaki ngai ete asili kozwa mokano ya kobebisa mokili mobimba.
23 Give ear, and hear my voice, Attend, and hear my saying:
Bofungola matoyi mpe boyoka mongongo na ngai, bosala keba mpe boyoka malamu makambo oyo nazali koloba!
24 The whole day plougheth the ploughman to sow? He openeth and harroweth his ground!
Boni, ezali tango nyonso nde mosali bilanga abalolaka mabele, akataka mikala mpe atimolaka mabele mpo na kolona?
25 Hath he not, if he have made level its face, Then scattered fitches, and cummin sprinkle, And hath placed the principal wheat, And the appointed barley, And the rie [in] its own border?
Sima na kobongisa esika ya kolona, boni, akoki te kolona nkona ya nijeli to kobwaka kumini? Boni, akoki te kolona ble na esika oyo ebongi, mpe orje, na esika oyo ekoki; mpe epotele, na bandelo ya elanga na ye?
26 And instruct him for judgment doth his God, He doth direct him.
Nzambe na ye ateyaka ye mpe alakisaka ye nzela oyo asengeli kolanda.
27 For not with a sharp-pointed thing threshed are fitches, And the wheel of a cart on cummin turned round, For with a staff beaten out are fitches, And cummin with a rod.
Pamba te basalelaka te mabaya ya kilo, oyo mpunda ebendaka mpo na kobuka nijeli to bapine ya shar mpo na kobuka kumini; basalelaka nde lingenda mpo na kobuka nijeli mpe kumini.
28 Bread -[corn] is beaten small, For not for ever doth he sorely thresh it, Nor crushed [it] hath a wheel of his cart, Nor do his hoofs beat it small.
Esengeli konika ble mpo na kosala mapa; nzokande babetaka yango tango nyonso te, balekisaka nde bapine ya shar na likolo na yango mpe mabaya ya kilo, oyo mpunda ebendaka, kasi banikaka yango te.
29 Even this from Jehovah of Hosts hath gone out, He hath made counsel wonderful, He hath made wisdom great!
Nyonso wana mpe ewuti epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, oyo mabongisi na Ye ezali ya kitoko makasi mpe bwanya na Ye ezali monene.
