Isaiah 57
1 The righteous hath perished, And there is none laying [it] to heart, And men of kindness are gathered, Without any considering that from the face of evil Gathered is the righteous one.
Moto ya sembo azali kokufa, kasi ezali kosala ata moto moko te motema pasi; bato ya malamu bazali kosila, mpe ata moto moko te azali kososola ete bato ya sembo bazali kolongolama mpo ete bazala mosika na mabe.
2 He entereth into peace, they rest on their beds, [Each] is going straightforward.
Bato oyo batambolaka na bosembo bakokota na kimia, bakozwa bopemi na bambeto na bango.
3 And ye, come near hither, O sons of a sorceress, seed of an adulterer, Even thou dost commit whoredom.
« Kasi bino, boya awa, bino bana ya mwasi ya soloka, bino bana oyo bobotami na nzela ya ekobo mpe ya kindumba.
4 Against whom do ye sport yourselves? Against whom enlarge ye the mouth? Prolong ye the tongue? Are not ye children of transgression? a false seed?
Bozali koseka nani? Bozali kofungolela nani monoko? Bozali kotiela nani penza monoko? Boni, bozali bana ya batomboki te, bozali libota ya lokuta te?
5 Who are inflamed among oaks, under every green tree, Slaughtering the children in valleys, Under clefts of the rocks.
Bozali kopela na posa mabe na se ya banzete minene oyo babengaka terebente, na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu; bozali kobonza bana na bino ya mibali lokola bambeka kati na lubwaku mpe kati na mabulu ya mabanga.
6 Among the smooth things of a brook [is] thy portion, They — they [are] thy lot, Also to them thou hast poured out an oblation, Thou hast caused a present to ascend, For these things am I comforted?
Libula na yo ezali nde banzambe ya bikeko kati na mabanga ya lubwaku, oyo babongisa; solo, yango nde ezali libula na yo. Solo penza, ezali epai na yango nde ozali kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino mpe kobonza makabo ya bambuma. Boni, nasepela solo na makambo ya boye?
7 On a mountain, high and exalted, Thou hast set thy couch, Also thither thou hast gone up to make a sacrifice.
Otiaki mbeto na yo na likolo, na songe ya ngomba; kuna nde ozalaki komata mpo na kobonza mbeka.
8 And behind the door, and the post, Thou hast set up thy memorial, For from Me thou hast removed, and goest up, Thou hast enlarged thy couch, And dost covenant for thyself among them, Thou hast loved their couch, the station thou sawest,
Otiaki nzambe na yo ya ekeko na sima ya ekuke na yo mpe ya mabaya oyo esimbaka ekuke yango. Osundoli ngai, olongoli bilamba na yo, omati likolo ya mbeto na yo; osali boyokani elongo na bato oyo olingaka kosangisa na bango nzoto mpe oluki komona bolumbu na bango.
9 And goest joyfully to the king in ointment, And dost multiply thy perfumes, And sendest thine ambassadors afar off, And humblest thyself unto Sheol. (Sheol h7585)
Okendeki epai ya Moloki na mafuta ya olive mpe obakisaki lisusu malasi na yo. Otindaki bantoma na yo mosika, omikitisaki na se penza kino na mboka ya bakufi. (Sheol h7585)
10 In the greatness of thy way thou hast laboured, Thou hast not said, 'It is desperate.' The life of thy hand thou hast found, Therefore thou hast not been sick.
Nzela na yo nyonso elembisaki yo nzoto, kasi omilobelaki te: ‹ Ezali na tina te! › Loboko na yo ezwaki lisusu makasi ya sika, yango wana olembaki te.
11 And of whom hast thou been afraid, and fearest, That thou liest, and Me hast not remembered? Thou hast not laid [it] to thy heart, Am not I silent, even from of old? And Me thou fearest not?
Ozalaki na somo ya nani to ozalaki kobanga nani mpo ete okosa Ngai to obosana Ngai, to mpe obimisa Ngai na motema na yo? Boni, ezali te mpo ete navandaki kimia tango molayi nde ozali kobanga Ngai te?
12 I declare thy righteousness, and thy works, And they do not profit thee.
Nakobimisa bosembo mpe misala na yo na pwasa, mpe ekozala na litomba ata moko te mpo na yo.
13 When thou criest, let thy gatherings deliver thee, And all of them carry away doth wind, Take away doth vanity, And whoso is trusting in Me inheriteth the land, And doth possess My holy mountain.
Tika ete mopiku ya banzambe na yo ya bikeko ebikisa yo tango okoluka lisungi! Mopepe makasi ekomema yango nyonso, mopepe moko ekopikola yango. Kasi moto oyo akomisaka Ngai ebombamelo na ye akozwa lokola libula mokili mpe ngomba na Ngai ya bule. »
14 And he hath said, 'Raise up, raise up, prepare a way, Lift a stumbling-block out of the way of My people.'
Bakoloba: « Botondisa mabele, botondisa mabele, bobongisa nzela, bolongola mabaku na nzela ya bato na Ngai! »
15 For thus said the high and exalted One, Inhabiting eternity, and holy [is] His name: 'In the high and holy place I dwell, And with the bruised and humble of spirit, To revive the spirit of the humble, And to revive the heart of bruised ones,'
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, Ye oyo akowumela seko na seko mpe azali bule, alobi: « Navandaka na esika oyo eleki likolo mpe ya bule; kasi navandaka mpe elongo na moto oyo azali na pasi mpe oyo molimo na ye ebukani, mpo na kolendisa lisusu molimo oyo etutami mpe motema oyo ebukani.
16 For, not to the age do I strive, nor for ever am I wroth, For the spirit from before Me is feeble, And the souls I have made.
Nakosambisa mpo na libela te mpe nakozala na kanda tango nyonso te, noki te molimo ya moto nyonso oyo nasala ekokufa na miso na Ngai.
17 For the iniquity of his dishonest gain, I have been wroth, and I smite him, Hiding — and am wroth, And he goeth on turning back in the way of his heart.
Natombokaki likolo ya posa na ye ya kozwa bomengo na nzela ya moyibi; napesaki ye etumbu, nabombaki elongi na Ngai na kanda, kasi apengwaki kaka mpo na kolanda posa mabe ya motema na ye.
18 His ways I have seen, and I heal him, yea, I lead him, And recompense comforts to him and to his mourning ones.
Namonaki banzela na ye, kasi nakobikisa ye; nakotambolisa ye mpe nakobondisa ye.
19 Producing the fruit of the lips, 'Peace, peace,' to the far off, and to the near, And I have healed him, said Jehovah.
Nakotia masanzoli na bibebu ya bato oyo bazali kolela na Isalaele. Kimia, kimia ezala epai na ye oyo azali mosika, mpe epai na ye oyo azali pene, » elobi Yawe. « Mpe nakobikisa bango. »
20 And the wicked [are] as the driven out sea, For to rest it is not able, And its waters cast out filth and mire.
Kasi bato mabe bazali lokola ebale oyo etomboki, oyo evandaka kimia te: mayi na yango ebwakaka potopoto mpe bosoto libanda.
21 There is no peace, said my God, to the wicked!
Nzambe na ngai alobi: « Kimia ezali te mpo na bato mabe. »
