Ezayi 30
1 « Mawa na bana ya mito makasi, » elobi Yawe: « basalaka mabongisi oyo ewutaka epai na Ngai te mpe basalaka boyokani oyo ewuti na Molimo na Ngai te, mpo ete babakisa lisumu likolo ya lisumu;
“Woe to the rebellious children,” declares the LORD, “to those who carry out a plan that is not Mine, who form an alliance, but against My will, heaping up sin upon sin.
2 mawa na bato oyo bakendaka na Ejipito, na kozanga kotuna toli na Ngai, mpo na koluka lisungi ya kobatelama epai ya Faraon mpe koluka ebombamelo na se ya elili ya Ejipito!
They set out to go down to Egypt without asking My advice, to seek shelter under Pharaoh’s protection and take refuge in Egypt’s shade.
3 Kasi ndako batonga makasi ya Faraon epai wapi bokokimela ekokomela bino soni, mpe elili ya Ejipito ekokoma likambo ya soni makasi.
But Pharaoh’s protection will become your shame, and the refuge of Egypt’s shade your disgrace.
4 Ata bakalaka na bango bazali na Tsoani mpe bantoma na bango bakomi na Anesi,
For though their princes are at Zoan and their envoys have arrived in Hanes,
5 bango nyonso bakoyoka kaka soni na miso ya bato oyo bakosunga bango ata moke te, oyo bakopesa bango ata lisungi to litomba moko te, kasi bobele soni mpe kotiolama. »
everyone will be put to shame because of a people useless to them. They cannot be of help; they are good for nothing but shame and reproach.”
6 Maloba na Yawe na tina na banyama ya Negevi: Kati na mokili ya pasi mpe ya kobanga, mokili ya bankosi ya mibali mpe ya bankosi ya basi, ya etupa mpe ya banyoka oyo epumbwaka, bantoma bazali komema bozwi na bango na mikongo ya ba-ane, bomengo na bango na mikongo ya bashamo, epai ya ekolo oyo ekotikala kopesa bango ata litomba moko te:
This is the burden against the beasts of the Negev: Through a land of hardship and distress, of lioness and lion, of viper and flying serpent, they carry their wealth on the backs of donkeys and their treasures on the humps of camels, to a people of no profit to them.
7 ekolo ya Ejipito oyo lisungi na yango ekozala penza na tina moko te; yango wana, napesi yango kombo « Rahavi. »
Egypt’s help is futile and empty; therefore I have called her Rahab Who Sits Still.
8 Kende sik’oyo, koma makambo oyo na etando ya libanga liboso na bango, koma yango na buku moko mpo ete na mikolo oyo ekoya, ezala lokola litatoli ya libela na libela.
Go now, write it on a tablet in their presence and inscribe it on a scroll; it will be for the days to come, a witness forever and ever.
9 Bato oyo bazali libota ya batomboki, bazali bana ya lokuta, bana oyo balingaka te koyoka mateya ya Yawe;
These are rebellious people, deceitful children, children unwilling to obey the LORD’s instruction.
10 balobaka na bato oyo bamonaka makambo: « Bomona te, » mpe na basakoli: « Bosakolela biso bimoniseli ya solo te, boyebisa biso makambo oyo esepelisaka biso, bosakolela biso makambo ya lokuta.
They say to the seers, “Stop seeing visions!” and to the prophets, “Do not prophesy to us the truth! Speak to us pleasant words; prophesy illusions.
11 Botika nzela wana, bobima penza na nzela wana mpe botika kotungisa biso mpo na Mosantu ya Isalaele! »
Get out of the way; turn off the road. Rid us of the Holy One of Israel!”
12 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Mosantu ya Isalaele alobi: « Lokola bobwaki maloba oyo, lokola bokangami na monyokoli mpe na mokosi oyo bozali kotiela motema,
Therefore this is what the Holy One of Israel says: “Because you have rejected this message, trusting in oppression and relying on deceit,
13 lisumu oyo ekokoma mpo na bino lokola mir ya molayi oyo esala nzela mpe lidusu, bongo ebukani mpe ekweyi mbala moko na mbalakata.
this iniquity of yours is like a breach about to fail, a bulge in a high wall, whose collapse will come suddenly— in an instant!
14 Ekobukana ndambo-ndambo lokola mbeki ya mosali mbeki, ekopanzana penza nye na mawa te; bongo ata eteni moko te ekozwama kati na yango mpo na kozwela likala ya moto na mbabola to mpo na kotokela mayi na libulu. »
It will break in pieces like a potter’s jar, shattered so that no fragment can be found. Not a shard will be found in the dust large enough to scoop the coals from a hearth or to skim the water from a cistern.”
15 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele, alobi: « Ekozala kati na kobongola mitema mpe kimia nde bokozwa lobiko na bino; ekozala na nzela ya kimia mpe ya elikya nde bokozwa makasi na bino; kasi bino, bolingi bongo te.
For the Lord GOD, the Holy One of Israel, has said: “By repentance and rest you would be saved; your strength would lie in quiet confidence— but you were not willing.”
16 Bolobaki: ‹ Te, tokopota mbangu likolo ya mpunda; › solo, bokokima nde! Bolobaki: ‹ Tokopota mbangu na mpunda oyo eleki mbangu; › solo, bato oyo bakolanda bino bakoleka bino na mbangu!
“No,” you say, “we will flee on horses.” Therefore you will flee! “We will ride swift horses,” but your pursuers will be faster.
17 Bato nkoto moko bakokima na mangungu ya moto moko kaka; mpe na mangungu ya bato mitano, bino nyonso bokokima kino bokotikala lokola nzete ya bendele na songe ya ngomba, mpe lokola bendele na likolo ya ngomba moke. »
A thousand will flee at the threat of one; at the threat of five you will all flee, until you are left alone like a pole on a mountaintop, like a banner on a hill.
18 Nzokande, Yawe alingi kosalela bino ngolu, atelemi likolo mpo na koyokela bino mawa. Pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe ya sembo: Esengo na bato nyonso oyo batalelaka Ye!
Therefore the LORD longs to be gracious to you; therefore He rises to show you compassion, for the LORD is a just God. Blessed are all who wait for Him.
19 Oh bato ya Siona, bino oyo bavandaka na Yelusalemi, bokolela lisusu te. Tango bokobelela Ye, akoyokela bino mawa; tango kaka akoyoka, akoyanola bino.
O people in Zion who dwell in Jerusalem, you will weep no more. He will surely be gracious when you cry for help; when He hears, He will answer you.
20 Nkolo akopesa bino lipa na tango ya pasi, mpe mayi na tango ya minyoko; moto oyo akoteya bino akotikala lisusu ya kobombama te, kasi miso na bino moko ekomona ye.
The Lord will give you the bread of adversity and the water of affliction, but your Teacher will no longer hide Himself—with your own eyes you will see Him.
21 Ata bokeyi na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali to na ngambo ya loboko ya mwasi, matoyi na bino ekoyoka sima na bino liloba oyo: « Tala nzela yango oyo! »
And whether you turn to the right or to the left, your ears will hear this command behind you: “This is the way. Walk in it.”
22 Bokotala lokola mbindo bikeko oyo balatisa palata mpe bikeko ya bibende oyo balatisa wolo; bokobwaka yango mosika ndenge babwakaka elamba ya makila ya mwasi oyo azali komona sanza, mpe bokoloba na yango: « Longwa awa! »
So you will desecrate your silver-plated idols and your gold-plated images. You will throw them away like menstrual cloths, saying to them, “Be gone!”
23 Boye, akotindela yo lisusu mvula mpo na milona oyo okolona na mabele, mpe bilei oyo mabele ekobota na mokili ekozala ebele mpe elengi. Na mokolo wana, bibwele na bino ekolia na bazamba minene.
Then He will send rain for the seed that you have sown in the ground, and the food that comes from your land will be rich and plentiful. On that day your cattle will graze in open pastures.
24 Bangombe mpe ba-ane oyo ebalolaka mabele ya bilanga ekolia matiti ya mungwa oyo baponi na pawu mpe na kiyungulu.
The oxen and donkeys that work the ground will eat salted fodder, winnowed with shovel and pitchfork.
25 Na mokolo ya kosambisa, tango bandako milayi ekobukana, bibale ya mayi ekotiola na bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse.
And from every high mountain and every raised hill, streams of water will flow in the day of great slaughter, when the towers fall.
26 Pole ya sanza ekongenga lokola pole ya moyi, mpe pole ya moyi ekongenga makasi koleka mbala sambo lokola pole ya mikolo sambo, na mokolo oyo Yawe akotia kisi na pota ya bato na Ye mpe akobikisa yango.
The light of the moon will be as bright as the sun, and the light of the sun will be seven times brighter—like the light of seven days—on the day that the LORD binds up the brokenness of His people and heals the wounds He has inflicted.
27 Tala, wuta mosika, Kombo ya Yawe ezali koya; kanda na Ye ezali kopela lokola moto elongo na lipata ya molinga ya moto makasi; bibebu na Ye etondi na kanda, mpe lolemo na Ye ezali lokola moto oyo ebomaka.
Behold, the Name of the LORD comes from afar, with burning anger and dense smoke. His lips are full of fury, and His tongue is like a consuming fire.
28 Pema na Ye ezali lokola ebale oyo etondi makasi, ebale oyo etondi kino na kingo. Akoyungola bikolo na kiyungulu ya pasi, akotia na mbanga ya bato ebende oyo batiaka na minoko ya bampunda mpo ete emema bango na libunga.
His breath is like a rushing torrent that rises to the neck. He comes to sift the nations in a sieve of destruction; He bridles the jaws of the peoples to lead them astray.
29 Mpo na bino, bokoyemba banzembo lokola na butu oyo basalaka bafeti ya bule; mitema na bino ekotonda na esengo lokola bato oyo bazali kobeta flite mpo na kokende na Ngomba ya Yawe, na Libanga ya Isalaele.
You will sing as on the night of a holy festival, and your heart will rejoice like one who walks to the music of a flute, going up to the mountain of the LORD, to the Rock of Israel.
30 Yawe akosala ete bato bayoka mongongo na Ye ya nkembo mpe akomonisa bango nguya ya loboko na Ye kati na kanda makasi na Ye, kati na moto oyo ebomaka, kati na mvula makasi ya bakake mpe ya mabanga.
And the LORD will cause His majestic voice to be heard and His mighty arm to be revealed, striking in angry wrath with a flame of consuming fire, and with cloudburst, storm, and hailstones.
31 Mongongo ya Yawe ekokweyisa Asiri, mpe akobeta bango na lingenda na Ye ya bokonzi.
For Assyria will be shattered at the voice of the LORD; He will strike them with His scepter.
32 Mbala nyonso oyo Yawe akobeta bango fimbu na Ye ya kosambisa, ekolandisama na mindule ya bambunda mike mpe ya mandanda, ndenge moko mpe tango akoningisa loboko na Ye mpo na kobundisa bango.
And with every stroke of the rod of punishment that the LORD brings down on them, the tambourines and lyres will sound as He battles with weapons brandished.
33 Babongisaki wuta kala Tofeti, babongisaki yango nde mpo na mokonzi; basalaki libulu na yango ya moto mozindo mpe monene mpo ete ebimisa moto makasi mpe ekota bakoni ebele. Pema na Yawe, oyo ezali lokola ebale ya sofolo nde ekopelisa yango.
For Topheth has long been prepared; it has been made ready for the king. Its funeral pyre is deep and wide, with plenty of fire and wood. The breath of the LORD, like a torrent of burning sulfur, sets it ablaze.
