Isaiah 7
1 And it cometh to pass in the days of Ahaz, son of Jotham, son of Uzziah, king of Judah, gone up hath Rezin king of Aram, and Pekah, son of Remaliah, king of Israel, to Jerusalem, to battle against it, and he is not able to fight against it.
Tango Akazi, mwana mobali ya Yotami, mwana mobali ya Oziasi, akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda, Retsini, mokonzi ya Siri, mpe Peka, mwana mobali ya Remalia, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bakendeki kobundisa Yelusalemi, kasi bakokaki kolonga yango te.
2 And it is declared to the house of David, saying, 'Aram hath been led towards Ephraim,' And his heart and the heart of his people is moved, like the moving of trees of a forest by the presence of wind.
Boye, bapesaki sango na ndako ya Davidi: « Bato ya Siri basali boyokani elongo na bato ya Efrayimi. » Motema ya Akazi mpe mitema ya bato na ye nyonso eninganaki makasi ndenge kaka banzete ya zamba eninganaka na tango ya mopepe.
3 And Jehovah saith unto Isaiah, 'Go forth, I pray thee, to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-Jashub thy son, unto the end of the conduit of the upper pool, unto the highway of the fuller's field,
Boye, Yawe alobaki na Ezayi: « Kende, yo elongo na Sheari-Yashubi, mwana na yo ya mobali, kokutana na Akazi na suka ya nzela ya mayi oyo ekenda kino na liziba monene, na nzela ya bilanga ya moto oyo atiaka balangi na bilamba;
4 and thou hast said unto him: 'Take heed, and be quiet, fear not, And let not thy heart be timid, Because of these two tails of smoking brands, For the fierceness of the anger of Rezin and Aram, And the son of Remaliah.
loba na ye: ‹ Kitisa motema, zala na kimia, kobanga te; tika ete motema na yo etungisama te mpo na bakoni mibale oyo ezali kopela: kanda makasi ya Retsini, moto ya Siri, mpe ya mwana mobali ya Remalia!
5 Because that Aram counselled against thee evil, Ephraim and the son of Remaliah, saying:
Siri, Efrayimi mpe mwana mobali ya Remalia, basaleli yo likita mpo na kobebisa yo; bazali koloba:
6 We go up into Judah, and we vex it, And we rend it unto ourselves, And we cause a king to reign in its midst — The son of Tabeal.
‘Tika ete tobundisa Yuda, tokata yango na biteni, tokabola yango biso na biso mpe totia mwana mobali ya Tabeli lokola mokonzi na yango.’
7 Thus said the Lord Jehovah: It doth not stand, nor shall it be!
Nzokande, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Ekotikala kosalema te, ekotikala kokokisama te!
8 For the head of Aram [is] Damascus, And the head of Damascus [is] Rezin, And within sixty and five years Is Ephraim broken from [being] a people.
Pamba te moto ya Siri ezali Damasi, mpe moto ya Damasi ezali na yango kaka Retsini. Etikali kaka mibu tuku motoba na mitano, Efrayimi ekobebisama mpe ekozala lisusu na molongo ya mabota te.
9 And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, And the head of Samaria [is] the son of Remaliah. If ye do not give credence, Surely ye are not stedfast.'
Moto ya Efrayimi ezali Samari, mpe moto ya Samari ezali kaka mwana mobali ya Remalia. Soki botelemi ngwi te na kondima na bino, bokolonga te kotelema liboso na bango! › »
10 And Jehovah addeth to speak unto Ahaz, saying:
Yawe alobaki lisusu na Akazi:
11 'Ask for thee a sign from Jehovah thy God, Make deep the request, or make [it] high upwards.' (Sheol h7585)
— Senga elembo moko epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ezala kati na mokili oyo eleki na bozindo to oyo eleki likolo. (Sheol h7585)
12 And Ahaz saith, 'I do not ask nor try Jehovah.'
Kasi Akazi alobaki: — Nakosenga te, nakoki komeka Yawe te.
13 And he saith, 'Hear, I pray you, O house of David, Is it a little thing for you to weary men, That ye weary also my God?
Boye Ezayi alobaki: — Boyoka sik’oyo, bino libota ya Davidi! Ekoki kaka te mpo na bino kolembisa mitema ya bato? Boni, bolingi lisusu kolembisa motema ya Nzambe na ngai?
14 Therefore the Lord Himself giveth to you a sign, Lo, the Virgin is conceiving, And is bringing forth a son, And hath called his name Immanuel,
Ye moko Nkolo akopesa bino elembo: moseka akokoma na zemi mpe akobota mwana mobali, akopesa Ye Kombo « Emanwele. »
15 Butter and honey he doth eat, When he knoweth to refuse evil, and to fix on good.
Mwana yango akomela kaka miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi kino tango akoyeba koboya mabe mpe kopona bolamu.
16 For before the youth doth know To refuse evil, and to fix on good, Forsaken is the land thou art vexed with, because of her two kings.
Kasi liboso ete mwana yango ayeba koboya mabe mpe kopona bolamu, mikili ya bakonzi mibale oyo ozali kobanga ekobebisama.
17 Jehovah bringeth on thee, and on thy people, And on the house of thy father, Days that have not come, Even from the day of the turning aside of Ephraim from Judah, By the king of Asshur.
Yawe akoyeisela yo, bato na yo mpe libota ya tata na yo mikolo oyo etikala nanu kozala te wuta Efrayimi ekabwana na Yuda: ezali nde mokonzi ya Asiri.
18 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Jehovah doth hiss for a fly that [is] in the extremity of the brooks of Egypt, And for a bee that [is] in the land of Asshur.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe akobeta piololo mpo na kobenga nzinzi wuta na miluka ya Ejipito mpe banzoyi oyo ezalaka na mokili ya Asiri;
19 And they have come, and rested all of them in the desolate valleys, And in holes of the rocks, and on all the thorns, And on all the commendable things.
ekoya mpe ekovanda kati na mabwaku ya mozindo mpe na madusu ya mabanga, na banzete nyonso ya mike-mike mpe na matiti nyonso.
20 In that day doth the Lord shave, By a razor that is hired beyond the river, By the king of Asshur, The head, and the hair of the feet, Yea, also the beard it consumeth.
Na mokolo wana, Yawe akosalela jileti oyo akodefa na ngambo mosusu ya Efrate, elingi koloba mokonzi ya Asiri, mpo na kokokola suki ya moto na yo, suki ya makolo na yo mpe mandefu na yo.
21 And it hath come to pass, in that day, A man keepeth alive a heifer of the herd, And two of the flock,
Na mokolo wana, moko na moko akobokola mwana ngombe ya mwasi mpe bameme to bantaba mibale ya basi.
22 And it hath come to pass, From the abundance of the yielding of milk he eateth butter, For butter and honey doth every one eat Who is left in the heart of the land.
Lokola bibwele wana ekopesaka miliki ebele, akolia manteka; mpe bato nyonso oyo bakotikala na mokili bakolia mafuta ya nzoyi.
23 And it hath come to pass, in that day, Every place where there are a thousand vines, At a thousand silverlings, Is for briers and for thorns.
Na mokolo wana, esika nyonso oyo ezalaki na banzete ya vino nkoto moko oyo ezalaki na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkoto moko ekotonda na basende mpe na banzube.
24 With arrows and with bow he cometh thither, Because all the land is brier and thorn.
Bato bakokota kuna na matolotolo mpe na bambanzi, pamba te mokili ekotonda na basende mpe na banzube.
25 And all the hills that with a mattock are kept in order, Thither cometh not the fear of brier and thorn, And it hath been for the sending forth of ox, And for the treading of sheep!'
Bato bakoleka lisusu te na bangambo nyonso oyo bazalaki kosala bilanga na kongo, pamba te bakokoma kobanga basende mpe banzube; ngombe ekokoma kolia kuna, mpe meme ekonyata-nyata mabele na yango.
