Isaiah 55
1 Ho, every thirsty one, come ye to the waters, And he who hath no money, Come ye, buy and eat, yea, come, buy Without money and without price, wine and milk.
« Bino nyonso oyo bozali na posa ya komela, boya, boya na esika oyo mayi ezali; ezala bino oyo bozali na mbongo te, boya kosomba mpe kolia; boya kosomba vino mpe miliki: ezali ya ofele, ya kosomba na mbongo te!
2 Why do ye weigh money for that which is not bread? And your labour for that which is not for satiety? Hearken diligently unto me, and eat good, And your soul doth delight itself in fatness.
Mpo na nini bozali kobebisa mbongo mpo na bilei oyo etongaka nzoto te, mpe kobimisa motoki mpo na bilei oyo etondisaka te? Boyoka, boyoka Ngai mpe bolia bilei ya kitoko, mpe bokosepela na biloko ya elengi.
3 Incline your ear, and come unto me, Hear, and your soul doth live, And I make for you a covenant age-during, The kind acts of David — that are stedfast.
Bopesa Ngai matoyi na bino mpe boya epai na Ngai, boyoka mpe bokozala na bomoi; nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na bino, boyokani oyo nalakaki Davidi, na boyengebene mpe na bolingo na Ngai.
4 Lo, a witness to peoples I have given him, A leader and commander to peoples.
Tala, nakomisaki ye motatoli na Ngai na miso ya bato ya bikolo ebele, mokambi mpe motambolisi ya bato.
5 Lo, a nation thou knowest not, thou callest, And a nation who know thee not unto thee do run, For the sake of Jehovah thy God, And for the Holy One of Israel, Because He hath beautified thee.
Solo, okobenga bikolo oyo oyebi te, mpe bikolo oyo eyebi yo te ekoya na lombangu epai na yo mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo na Mosantu ya Isalaele, pamba te alatisi yo nkembo. »
6 Seek ye Jehovah, while He is found, Call ye Him, while He is near,
Boluka Yawe wana akoki nanu komonana, bobelela Ye wana azali nanu pene.
7 Forsake doth the wicked his way, And the man of iniquity his thoughts, And he returneth to Jehovah, and He pitieth him, And unto our God for He multiplieth to pardon.
Tika ete moto mabe atika banzela na ye, mpe tika ete mosumuki atika makanisi na ye; tika ete azonga epai na Yawe mpo ete ayokela ye mawa, tika ete azonga epai ya Nzambe na biso, pamba te alimbisaka kaka.
8 For not My thoughts [are] your thoughts, Nor your ways My ways, — an affirmation of Jehovah,
« Makanisi na Ngai ezali makanisi na bino te, mpe banzela na Ngai ezali banzela na bino te, » elobi Yawe.
9 For high have the heavens been above the earth, So high have been My ways above your ways, And My thoughts above your thoughts.
« Pamba te ndenge likolo eleki mosika na mabele, ndenge wana mpe banzela na Ngai ezali likolo koleka banzela na bino, mpe makanisi na Ngai ezali likolo koleka makanisi na bino.
10 For, as come down doth the shower, And the snow from the heavens, And thither returneth not, But hath watered the earth, And hath caused it to yield, and to spring up, And hath given seed to the sower, and bread to the eater,
Ndenge mvula mpe mvula ya pembe enokaka wuta na likolo mpe ezongaka te na likolo soki epolisi mabele te, soki ebotisi yango bambuma mpe bafololo te, soki epesi nkona te na moloni mpe bilei te na moto oyo aliaka,
11 So is My word that goeth out of My mouth, It turneth not back unto Me empty, But hath done that which I desired, And prosperously effected that [for] which I sent it.
ndenge wana mpe liloba oyo ebimaka na monoko na Ngai ezalaka: ezongaka pamba te epai na Ngai, soki esali nanu te mokano na Ngai, mpe soki ekokisi nanu te mabongisi oyo natindelaki yango.
12 For with joy ye go forth, And with peace ye are brought in, The mountains and the hills Break forth before you [with] singing, And all trees of the field clap the hand.
Bokobima na esengo, mpe bakotambolisa bino na kimia; bangomba milayi mpe bangomba mikuse ekoyemba nzembo ya elonga liboso na bino, mpe banzete nyonso ya zamba ekobeta maboko.
13 Instead of the thorn come up doth fir, Instead of the brier come up doth myrtle, And it hath been to Jehovah for a name, For a sign age-during — it is not cut off!
Nzete ya sipele ekobota na esika ya banzube, nzete ya mirite ekobota na esika ya basende; ekozala, mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, elembo ya libela na libela, oyo ekotikala kobebisama te. »
