Ezayi 26
1 Na mokolo wana, bakoyemba nzembo oyo kati na mokili ya Yuda: Tozali na engumba moko ya makasi; Nzambe akomisi lobiko lokola mir mpe ebombamelo na yango.
In that day they shall sing this song in the land of Judea; Behold a strong city; and he shall make salvation [its] wall and bulwark.
2 Bofungola bikuke mpo ete ekolo ya sembo, ekolo oyo ebatelaka boyokani, ekoka kokota!
Open you the gates, let the nation enter that keeps righteousness, and keeps truth,
3 Ndenge esila kokatama, ye oyo akomitika epai na Yo, okobatela ye na kimia, na kimia penza, mpo ete amipesi mobimba epai na Yo.
supporting truth, and keeping peace: for on you, O Lord,
4 Botia tango nyonso elikya na Yawe, pamba te Yawe azali penza Libanga ya tango nyonso.
they have trusted with confidence for ever, the great, the eternal God;
5 Akitisaka bavandi ya likolo, akweyisaka engumba oyo batonga makasi, alalisaka yango penza na mabele mpe akomisaka yango putulu.
who have humbled and brought down them that dwell on high, you shall cast down strong cities, and bring them to the ground.
6 Makolo ya bato ekonyata-nyata yango: makolo ya babola, matambe ya bato pamba.
And the feet of the meek and lowly shall trample them.
7 Nzela ya moto ya sembo, ezali alima; Yo oyo ozali Sembo, okomisaka kitoko nzela ya moto ya sembo.
The way of the godly is made straight: the way of the godly is also prepared.
8 Oh Yawe, tango totambolaka na nzela oyo mibeko na Yo etalisaka, totalelaka Yo; Kombo na Yo mpe kotatola yango, yango nde posa ya mitema na biso.
For the way of the Lord is judgement: we have hoped in your name, and on the remembrance [of you],
9 Na butu, motema na ngai ezali solo na posa na Yo; kati na ngai, molimo na ngai ezali kolukaluka Yo makasi, pamba te bavandi ya mokili bayekolaka bosembo tango opesaka mabele bitumbu.
which our soul longs for: my spirit seeks you very early in the morning, O God, for your commandments are a light on the earth: learn righteousness, you that dwell upon the earth.
10 Soki basaleli moto mabe ngolu, akoyekola bosembo te; ezala kati na mokili ya bosembo, asalaka kaka mabe mpe amonaka na ye monene ya Yawe te.
For the ungodly one is put down: no one who will not learn righteousness on the earth, shall be able to do the truth: let the ungodly be taken away, that he see not the glory of the Lord.
11 Oh Yawe, loboko na Yo emati solo likolo, kasi bazali komona yango te. Tika ete bayokisama soni tango bakomona bolingo makasi na Yo, oyo eleka ndelo mpo na bato na Yo; tika ete moto oyo obongiselaki banguna na Yo etumba bango!
O Lord, your arm is exalted, yet they knew it not: but when they know they shall be ashamed: jealousy shall seize upon an untaught nation, and now fire shall devour the adversaries.
12 Yawe, okopesa biso kimia, pamba te okokiselaka biso misala nyonso oyo tosalaka.
O Lord our God, give us peace: for you have rendered to us all things.
13 Oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atako bakonzi mosusu bakambaki biso, kasi biso, topesaka lokumu kaka na Kombo na Yo.
O Lord our God, take possession of us: O Lord, we know not [any] other beside you: we name your name.
14 Bakufi bakozala lisusu na bomoi te, milimo ya bakufi ekozonga lisusu na bomoi te; opesaki bango etumbu mpe obomaki bango nye; osalaki ete ata moto moko te akanisa bango lisusu!
But the dead shall not see life, neither shall physicians by any means raise [them] up: therefore you have brought [wrath] upon [them], and slain [them], and have taken away every male of them. Bring more evils upon them, O Lord;
15 Oh Yawe, okomisi ekolo na Yo monene! Solo, okomisi ekolo na Yo monene, omipesi penza lokumu; opusi bandelo nyonso ya mokili mosika penza.
bring more evils on the glorious ones of the earth.
16 Yawe, kati na pasi na bango, balukaki Yo; tango opesaki bango etumbu, bamikabaki na mabondeli makasi.
Lord, in affliction I remembered you; your chastening was to us with small affliction.
17 Oh Yawe, tozalaki liboso na Yo lokola mwasi ya zemi oyo akomi pene ya kobota, bongo azali kobaluka mpe koganga na pasi.
And as a woman in travail draws near to be delivered, [and] cries out in her pain; so have we been to your beloved.
18 Tozalaki na zemi, tozalaki mpe kobaluka na pasi; kasi tango tobotaki, tobotaki kaka mopepe: tomemelaki mabele lobiko te, mpe tomemelaki mokili bato ya sika te.
We have conceived, O Lord, because of your fear, and have been in pain, and have brought forth the breath of your salvation, which we have wrought upon the earth: we shall not fall, but all that dwell upon the land shall fall.
19 Kasi bato na Yo, oyo bakufa bakozonga lisusu na bomoi, bibembe na bango ekosekwa. Bino bato oyo bovandaka kati na putulu, bolamuka mpe boganga na esengo! Pamba te mamwe na Yo ezali lokola mamwe ya tongo; mabele ekopesa bomoi epai ya bakufi.
The dead shall rise, and they that are in the tombs shall be raised, and they that are in the earth shall rejoice: for the dew from you is healing to them: but the land of the ungodly shall perish.
20 Bato na ngai, bokende, bokota na bashambre na bino mpe bokanga bikuke sima na bino; bomibomba nanu mwa tango moke kino tango kanda ekoleka.
Go, my people, enter into your closets, shut your door, hide yourself for a little season, until the anger of the Lord have passed away.
21 Tala, Yawe azali kobima wuta na esika na Ye mpo na kopesa bato ya mokili etumbu mpo na masumu na bango; mabele ekobimisa makila oyo basopa likolo na yango, ekobomba lisusu te bato oyo baboma.
For, behold, the Lord is bringing wrath from [his] holy place upon the dwellers on the earth: the earth also shall disclose her blood, and shall not cover her slain.
