Isaiah 46
1 Bowed down hath Bel, stooping is Nebo, Their idols have been for the beast and for cattle, Your burdens are loaded, a burden to the weary.
Tala banzambe ya Babiloni: Beli esili ngala, Nebo ekweyi; bikeko na yango etiami likolo ya banyama, likolo ya bibwele! Bikeko oyo bomemaka ezali kilo makasi, ezali mokumba oyo elembisaka banyama.
2 They have stooped, they have bowed together, They have not been able to deliver the burden, And themselves into captivity have gone.
Banzambe yango ya bikeko egumbami mpe ekweyi nzela moko, ezali na makoki te ya kobikisa mokumba na yango, pamba te ekeyi na bowumbu.
3 Hearken unto Me, O house of Jacob, And all the remnant of Israel, Who are borne from the belly, Who are carried from the womb,
Oh ndako ya Jakobi, boyoka Ngai, mpe bino nyonso, batikali ya libota ya Isalaele, bino oyo nandima kobatela wuta na libumu ya mama mpe nandima komema mokumba wuta mbotama na bino.
4 Even to old age I [am] He, and to grey hairs I carry, I made, and I bear, yea, I carry and deliver.
Ezala tango bokotonda na suki ya pembe mpe bokokoma mibange, Ngai nakobongwana te, nakosunga bino kaka; Ngai nde nasalaki bino, nakomema mokumba na bino, nakosunga bino mpe nakobikisa bino.
5 To whom do ye liken Me, and make equal? And compare Me, that we may be like?
Bolingi kokokanisa Ngai to kotia Ngai esika moko na nani? Bolingi solo kokokanisa Ngai na nani mpo ete amekana na Ngai?
6 — They are pouring out gold from a bag, And silver on the beam they weigh, They hire a refiner, and he maketh it a god, They fall down, yea, they bow themselves.
Bazali bato oyo babimisaka wolo na mabenga na bango mpe bamekaka kilo ya palata na emekelo; bafutaka mosolo epai ya mosali bikeko na bibende mpo ete asalela bango nzambe ya ekeko ya wolo mpe ya palata, mpo ete bafukamela mpe bagumbamela yango.
7 They lift him up on the shoulder, They carry him, and cause him to rest in his place, And he standeth, from his place he moveth not, Yea, one crieth unto him, and he answereth not, From his adversity he saveth him not.
Batiaka yango na mapeka mpe bamemaka yango, batelemisaka yango na esika na yango mpe etikalaka ya kotelema kaka wana. Wuta na esika na yango, ekoningana te. Ata soki moto moko abeleli yango, ekoyanola te, ekobikisa ye te na tango ya pasi.
8 Remember this, and shew yourselves men, Turn [it] back, O transgressors, to the heart.
Bokanisa yango lisusu, mpo bososola malamu; bino batomboki, bozongisa yango lisusu na mitema na bino!
9 Remember former things of old, For I [am] Mighty, and there is none else, God — and there is none like Me.
Bokanisa lisusu makambo ya liboso, makambo oyo ya kala penza; solo, Ngai nazali Nzambe, mpe mosusu azali te, nazali Nzambe, moko te akokani na Ngai.
10 Declaring from the beginning the latter end, And from of old that which hath not been done, Saying, 'My counsel doth stand, And all My delight I do.'
Nasakolaki makambo ya suka na ebandeli; wuta kala penza, nasakolaki makambo oyo ekoya. Nalobaki: « Mabongisi na Ngai ekolongisama, mpe nakosala nyonso oyo nasepeli kosala. »
11 Calling from the east a ravenous bird, From a far land the man of My counsel, Yea, I have spoken, yea, I bring it in, I have formed [it], yea, I do it.
Wuta na este, nabengi ndeke oyo eliaka misuni; longwa na mokili ya mosika, moto oyo akokokisa mabongisi na Ngai. Makambo oyo nalobaki, yango nde ekokokisama; oyo nabongisaki, yango nde ekosalema.
12 Hearken unto Me, ye mighty in heart, Who are far from righteousness.
Boyoka Ngai, bino bato ya mitema makasi, bino bato oyo bozali mosika ya bosembo!
13 I have brought near My righteousness, It is not far off, And My salvation — it doth not tarry, And I have given in Zion salvation, To Israel My glory!
Bosembo na Ngai ekomi pene, ezali lisusu mosika te; mpe lobiko na Ngai ekowumela te. Nakopesa lobiko epai na Siona, mpe nkembo na Ngai, epai na Isalaele.
