Ezayi 29
1 Mawa na yo, Arieli, Arieli, engumba oyo Davidi azalaki kovanda! Bobakisa mibu na mibu mpe botika ete bafeti na bino ekoba kolandana ndenge ezalaka.
Woe to Ariel, to Ariel, the city where David dwelled! add you year to year; let them kill sacrifices.
2 Kasi nakonyokola Arieli; ekokoma na mawa mpe na kolela; ekokoma na miso na Ngai lokola etumbelo.
Yet I will distress Ariel, and there shall be heaviness and sorrow: and it shall be to me as Ariel.
3 Nakozingela yo mpo na kobundisa yo, nakozingela yo na mir ya molayi mpe nakotiela yo mampinga ya nguya mpo na kotelemela yo.
And I will camp against you round about, and will lay siege against you with a mount, and I will raise forts against you.
4 Okokitisama solo na se, okoloba wuta na mabele, mpe maloba na yo ekobanda kobima na mongongo ya se wuta na putulu. Mongongo na yo ekokoma kobima wuta na se ya mabele lokola mongongo ya moto oyo asololaka na milimo ya bakufi; mpe wuta na putulu, maloba na yo ekobima na mongongo ya se.
And you shall be brought down, and shall speak out of the ground, and your speech shall be low out of the dust, and your voice shall be, as of one that has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech shall whisper out of the dust.
5 Bongo ebele ya banguna na yo bakokoma lokola putulu, mpe ebele ya banyokoli na yo bakokoma lokola matiti ekawuka oyo ezali kopumbwa na mopepe; ekosalema bongo na pwasa.
Moreover the multitude of your strangers shall be like small dust, and the multitude of the terrible ones shall be as chaff that passes away: yes, it shall be at an instant suddenly.
6 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akoya epai na yo na nzela ya bakake, ya koningana ya mabele mpe ya lokito monene, ya mopepe makasi mpe ya mvula ya moto oyo etumbaka.
You shall be visited of the LORD of hosts with thunder, and with earthquake, and great noise, with storm and tempest, and the flame of devouring fire.
7 Ekozala lokola ndoto to emoniseli ya butu mpo na ebele ya bikolo oyo bakobundisa Arieli, oyo bakotelemela ye elongo na bandako na ye ya makasi mpe bakozingela ye.
And the multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all that fight against her and her fortification, and that distress her, shall be as a dream of a night vision.
8 Ekozala lokola moto oyo azali na nzala, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali kolia, kasi tango alamuki, libumu na ye ezali kaka pamba lokola moto oyo azali na posa ya mayi, bongo azali kolota ndoto ete azali komela mayi, kasi tango alamuki na nzoto ya kolemba, posa na ye ya mayi esili kaka te. Ekozala nde bongo mpo na mampinga ya bikolo nyonso oyo bakobundisa ngomba Siona.
It shall even be as when an hungry man dreams, and, behold, he eats; but he wakes, and his soul is empty: or as when a thirsty man dreams, and, behold, he drinks; but he wakes, and, behold, he is faint, and his soul has appetite: so shall the multitude of all the nations be, that fight against mount Zion.
9 Bozanga maloba mpe bokamwa! Bomiboma miso mpe botikala bakufi miso! Bolangwa masanga, kasi na vino te! Botenga-tenga, kasi na masanga ya makasi te!
Stay yourselves, and wonder; cry you out, and cry: they are drunken, but not with wine; they stagger, but not with strong drink.
10 Yawe asopeli bino molimo ya pongi makasi; akangi bino miso, bino basakoli, azipi bino mito, bino bato oyo bomonaka makambo.
For the LORD has poured out on you the spirit of deep sleep, and has closed your eyes: the prophets and your rulers, the seers has he covered.
11 Mpo na bino, emoniseli nyonso oyo ekomi lokola maloba ya buku oyo bakanga mpe bapesi epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga, bongo balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nakokoka te, pamba te buku ekangama. »
And the vision of all is become to you as the words of a book that is sealed, which men deliver to one that is learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I cannot; for it is sealed:
12 To bapesi yango epai ya moto oyo ayebi kotanga te, mpe balobi na ye: « Nabondeli yo, tanga nanu buku oyo, » kasi azongisi: « Nayebi kotanga te. »
And the book is delivered to him that is not learned, saying, Read this, I pray you: and he says, I am not learned.
13 Nkolo alobi: « Bato oyo bapusanaka pene na Ngai kaka na monoko, bapesaka Ngai lokumu kaka na bibebu, kasi mitema na bango ezalaka mosika na Ngai; mpe botosi oyo bazalaka na yango epai na Ngai ezali kaka mobeko ya bomoto, oyo bateyaki bango.
Why the Lord said, For as much as this people draw near me with their mouth, and with their lips do honor me, but have removed their heart far from me, and their fear toward me is taught by the precept of men:
14 Yango wana, nakokoba kokamwisa bato oyo; ekozala nde bikamwa likolo ya bikamwa kino bwanya ya bato ya bwanya ekobunga, mpe mayele ya bato ya mayele ekosuka. »
Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvelous work among this people, even a marvelous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
15 Mawa na bato oyo basalaka makambo na nkuku mpo na kobombela Yawe mabongisi na bango; bato oyo basalaka misala na bango na molili mpe balobaka: « Nani akoki komona biso? Nani akoyeba? »
Woe to them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who sees us? and who knows us?
16 Bozali nde kobongola makambo! Ezali lokola bozali kozwa mosali mbeki ndenge moko na mabele oyo basalelaka mbeki. Boni, eloko ekoki solo koloba na mosali na yango: « Asalaki ngai te? » Mbeki ekoki solo koloba na mosali mbeki: « Ozali mayele te? »
Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter’s clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
17 Etikali kaka tango moke, Libani ekobongwana elanga ya kitoko, mpe elanga ya kitoko ekomonana lokola zamba.
Is it not yet a very little while, and Lebanon shall be turned into a fruitful field, and the fruitful field shall be esteemed as a forest?
18 Na mokolo wana, bakufi matoyi bakoyoka maloba ya buku, mpe bakufi miso bakomona tango bakobima na butu mpe na molili.
And in that day shall the deaf hear the words of the book, and the eyes of the blind shall see out of obscurity, and out of darkness.
19 Bato bakelela bakosepela makasi kati na Yawe, babola bakozala na esengo kati na Mosantu ya Isalaele.
The meek also shall increase their joy in the LORD, and the poor among men shall rejoice in the Holy One of Israel.
20 Banyokoli bakotikala lisusu te, batioli bakozala lisusu te mpe bato oyo balukaka pasi ya baninga bakokufa:
For the terrible one is brought to nothing, and the scorner is consumed, and all that watch for iniquity are cut off:
21 elongo na bato oyo bakweyisaka bato kati na kosamba mpo na liloba moko, elongo na bato oyo batielaka basambisi mitambo mpe bapesaka matatoli ya lokuta, na kosambisama, mpo na kokweyisa moto ya sembo.
That make a man an offender for a word, and lay a snare for him that reproves in the gate, and turn aside the just for a thing of nothing.
22 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mosikoli ya Abrayami, alobi na libota ya Jakobi: « Jakobi akozala lisusu na soni te, elongi na ye ekozala lisusu ya kokawuka te.
Therefore thus says the LORD, who redeemed Abraham, concerning the house of Jacob, Jacob shall not now be ashamed, neither shall his face now wax pale.
23 Tango akomona kati na bango bana na ye, mosala ya maboko na Ngai, bakopesa lokumu na bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai mpe bakososola bosantu ya Mosantu ya Jakobi. Boye, bakozala na somo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele.
But when he sees his children, the work of my hands, in the middle of him, they shall sanctify my name, and sanctify the Holy One of Jacob, and shall fear the God of Israel.
24 Bato oyo bazali koyengayenga na molimo bakozwa mayele, mpe bato ya mito makasi bakondima koyekola mateya ya sika. »
They also that erred in spirit shall come to understanding, and they that murmured shall learn doctrine.
