Ba-Ebre 1
1 Na tango ya kala, Nzambe azalaki koloba, mbala mingi mpe na lolenge ebele, epai ya bakoko na biso, na nzela ya basakoli.
God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets,
2 Kasi sik’oyo, na mikolo oyo ezali ya suka, Nzambe azali koloba na biso na nzela ya Mwana na Ye, oyo Ye moko Nzambe akomisaki Mokitani ya biloko nyonso. Ezali mpe na nzela na Ye nde Nzambe asalaki mokili. (aiōn g165)
Hath in these last days spoken to us by his Son, whom he hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also he made the worlds; (aiōn g165)
3 Mwana yango amonisaka kongenga ya nkembo ya Nzambe, azali elilingi oyo etalisaka mobimba ya Nzambe mpe asimbi biloko nyonso na nguya ya Liloba na Ye. Sima na Ye kopetola masumu ya bato, avandi kati na Likolo, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso,
Who being the brightness of his glory, and the express image of his person, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high;
4 mpe azwi esika ya lokumu penza koleka ba-anjelu mpo ete azwi Kombo oyo eleki bakombo ya ba-anjelu.
Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they.
5 Epai ya anjelu nini penza Nzambe aloba: « Ozali mwana na ngai; na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na yo? » To mpe: « Ngai nakozala Tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai? »
For to which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son?
6 Mpe lisusu, tango Nzambe atindaki Mwana na Ye ya liboso kati na mokili, epai ya nani aloba: « Tika ete ba-anjelu nyonso ya Nzambe bagumbamelaka Yo? »
And again, when he bringeth in the firstbegotten into the world, he saith, And let all the angels of God worship him.
7 Nzokande, tala makambo oyo Nzambe aloba na tina na ba-anjelu: « Akomisaka ba-anjelu na Ye mipepe, mpe basali na Ye, ndemo ya moto. »
And of the angels he saith, Who maketh his angels spirits, and his ministers a flame of fire.
8 Mpe tala makambo oyo aloba na tina na Mwana: « Oh Nzambe, Kiti ya Bokonzi na Yo ekowumela seko na seko, lingenda ya bokonzi na Yo ezali mpo na bosembo. (aiōn g165)
But to the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Olingaka bosembo mpe oyinaka mabe; yango wana, oh Nzambe, Nzambe na Yo apakoli Yo mafuta ya esengo, asepeli na Yo koleka baninga na Yo! »
Thou hast loved righteousness, and hated iniquity; therefore God, even thy God, hath anointed thee with the oil of gladness above thy companions.
10 Kaka na tina na mwana, alobaki lisusu: « Na ebandeli, oh Nkolo, Yo nde otiaki miboko ya mokili, mpe maboko na Yo nde esalaki Likolo.
And, Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth; and the heavens are the works of thy hands:
11 Nyonso wana ekobeba, ekonzuluka lokola elamba; kasi Yo, okotikala seko na seko.
They shall perish; but thou remainest; and they all shall become old as doth a garment;
12 Okolinga yango lokola kazaka, mpe bakolongola yango lokola elamba mpo na kotia elamba mosusu. Kasi Yo, ozali ndenge moko, mibu na Yo ekotikala kosuka te! »
And as a vesture shalt thou fold them up, and they shall be changed: but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail.
13 Mpe lisusu, epai ya anjelu nini Nzambe aloba: « Vanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali kino nakomisa banguna na yo enyatelo makolo na yo? »
But to which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right hand, until I make thy enemies thy footstool?
14 Nzokande, ba-anjelu nyonso bazali milimo oyo esalaka mpo na Nzambe, mpe Nzambe atindaka bango kokokisa lotomo na bango mpo na bolamu ya bato oyo bakozwa lobiko.
Are they not all ministering spirits, sent forth to minister for them who shall inherit salvation?
