< Ezayi 20 >
1 Na mobu oyo mokonzi monene ya basoda, oyo Sargoni, mokonzi ya Asiri, atindaki, ayaki kobundisa mpe kobotola engumba Asidodi;
ʻI he taʻu naʻe haʻu ai ʻa Tatani ki ʻAsitoti, (i he kuonga naʻe fekau ia ʻe Sakone ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia, ) ʻo ne tauʻi ʻa ʻAsitoti, pea lavaʻi ia;
2 kaka na tango wana, Yawe alobaki maloba oyo na nzela ya Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi: « Kende, longola bilamba ya saki na nzoto na yo, mpe basapato na makolo na yo. » Mpe asalaki kaka bongo; akomaki kotambola bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu.
ʻI he kuonga pe ko ia naʻe folofola ʻa Sihova kia ʻIsaia ko e foha ʻo ʻAmosi, ʻo pehē, “ʻAlu ʻo vete ʻae tauangaʻa mei hoʻo noʻotanga vala, pea toʻo ʻae topuvaʻe mei ho vaʻe. Pea naʻa ne fai ia, ʻo ʻeveʻeva taʻehakofu pea taʻetopuvaʻe.
3 Bongo Yawe alobaki: « Lokola mosali na Ngai, Ezayi, atamboli bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu mibu misato mpo na kozala elembo mpe ekamwiseli na miso ya Ejipito mpe ya Kushi,
Pea naʻe pehē ʻe Sihova, ʻO hangē kuo ʻeveʻeva telefua pea taʻehatopuvaʻe ʻa ʻeku tamaioʻeiki ko ʻIsaia ʻi he taʻu ʻe tolu ko e fakaʻilonga mo e meʻa fakaofo ki ʻIsipite pea ki ʻItiopea;
4 mokonzi ya Asiri akomema bakangami ya Ejipito mpe bawumbu ya Kushi bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu: ezala bilenge to bampaka, bakotambola bolumbu mpe makolo ngulu mpo na soni ya Ejipito.
ʻE pehē ʻae taki pōpula ʻe he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia ʻae kakai ʻo ʻIsipite, pea mo e kakai pōpula ʻo ʻItiopea, ʻae talavou mo e mātuʻa, ʻae telefua mo e taʻehatopuvaʻe, ʻio, ʻi he taʻekofu honau kongaloto, ko e fakamā ʻoe kakai ʻIsipite.
5 Bato nyonso oyo batiaki elikya na bango na Kushi mpe bakomaki lofundu mpo na Ejipito bakokweya mpe bakotonda na soni.
Pea te nau manavahē pea mā ki ʻItiopea ko ʻenau ʻamanaki, pea mo ʻIsipite ko honau vikivikiʻanga.
6 Na mokolo wana, bavandi ya esanga bakoloba: ‹ Tala, makambo nini ekomeli bato oyo biso tozalaki kotiela mitema? Tozalaki kokima epai na bango mpo na kozwa lisungi mpe lobiko liboso ya mokonzi ya Asiri. Biso sik’oyo tokosuka ndenge nini? › »
Pea ʻe pehē ʻae tangata ʻoe fonua ni ʻi he ʻaho ko ia, ‘Vakai ʻoku pehē ʻemau ʻamanaki, ʻaia naʻa mau hola ki ai ke maʻu ʻae tokoni ke mau hao ai mei he tuʻi ʻo ʻAsilia: pea ʻe fēfē koā ʻemau hao?’”
