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, saith the Lord, that take counsel, but not from me; and that set themselves a ruler, but not by my spirit, in order that they may add sin to 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!
That travel to go down into Egypt, and have not asked my will; to strengthen themselves through the strength of Pharaoh, and to seek shelter in the shadow of Egypt!
3 Kasi ndako batonga makasi ya Faraon epai wapi bokokimela ekokomela bino soni, mpe elili ya Ejipito ekokoma likambo ya soni makasi.
Therefore shall the strength of Pharaoh become your shame, and the shelter in the shadow of Egypt your disgrace.
4 Ata bakalaka na bango bazali na Tsoani mpe bantoma na bango bakomi na Anesi,
For his princes were at Zo'an, and his ambassadors had reached Chanes.
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. »
They all are ashamed because of a people that cannot profit them, neither be a help nor give profit; but [bringeth] shame, and also a 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:
The doom of the beasts of the south: Through the land of trouble and anguish, whence come the lioness and the lion, the viper and flying dragons, they will carry upon the shoulders of young asses their riches, and upon the humps of camels their treasures, to a people that cannot profit.
7 ekolo ya Ejipito oyo lisungi na yango ekozala penza na tina moko te; yango wana, napesi yango kombo « Rahavi. »
And the Egyptians will help in vain, and to no purpose; therefore have I called this, Boasters they are in sitting 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.
Now go, write it before them on a table, and note it in a book, that it may be for the latest time to come, for ever, and to eternity:
9 Bato oyo bazali libota ya batomboki, bazali bana ya lokuta, bana oyo balingaka te koyoka mateya ya Yawe;
For this is a rebellious people, lying children, children that will not hear the law of the Lord:
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.
Who have said to the seers, Ye shall not see; and to the prophets, Reveal not unto us true things, speak unto us smooth things, reveal deceits;
11 Botika nzela wana, bobima penza na nzela wana mpe botika kotungisa biso mpo na Mosantu ya Isalaele! »
Depart you out of the way, turn aside out of the path, remove from before us 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 thus hath said the Holy One of Israel, Because ye despise this word, and trust in oppression and perverseness, and lean thereon for aid:
13 lisumu oyo ekokoma mpo na bino lokola mir ya molayi oyo esala nzela mpe lidusu, bongo ebukani mpe ekweyi mbala moko na mbalakata.
Therefore shall this iniquity be to you as a threatening breach, swelling out in a high-towering wall, the fall of which will come unawares, suddenly.
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. »
And he will break it, as one breaketh a potter's vessel, dashing it in pieces without sparing it; so that there cannot be found among its fragments a sherd to rake fire from a hearth and to draw water from a pit.
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 thus hath said the Lord Eternal, the Holy One of Israel, In repose and rest shall ye be helped; in quietness and in confidence shall be your strength; and ye would not.
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!
And ye said, “No; for upon horses will we flee;” therefore shall ye flee: and, “Upon swift beasts will we ride;” therefore shall your pursuers be swift.
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. »
One thousand [shall flee] at the threatening of one; at the threatening of five shall ye [all] flee: till ye be left as a pole upon a mountain-top, and as an ensign 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!
And therefore will the Lord wait, to be gracious unto you, and therefore will he exalt himself, to have mercy upon you; for a God of justice is the Lord: happy are all those that 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.
For O people of Zion that shall dwell at Jerusalem! thou shalt indeed not weep: he will be surely gracious unto thee at the voice of thy cry; so soon as he heareth it, he answereth thee.
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.
And the Lord will give you bread [in] adversity, and water [in] oppression; and thy teachers shall not have to hide themselves in a corner any more, but thy eyes shall see thy teachers:
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 thy ears shall hear the word behind thee, saying, “This is the way, walk ye in it,” when ye turn to the right hand, and when ye turn to the left.
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! »
And ye will regard as unclean the covering of thy graven idols of silver, and the ornament of thy molten images of gold: thou wilt cast them away as a filthy thing; “Get thee hence,” wilt thou say unto them.
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 will he give the rain for thy seed, that thou mayest sow in the ground; and bread—the produce of the ground—this shall be fat and nutritious: thy cattle shall feed on that day in extensive pastures.
24 Bangombe mpe ba-ane oyo ebalolaka mabele ya bilanga ekolia matiti ya mungwa oyo baponi na pawu mpe na kiyungulu.
The oxen likewise and the young asses that till the ground shall eat salted provender, which hath been winnowed with the shovel and with the fan.
25 Na mokolo ya kosambisa, tango bandako milayi ekobukana, bibale ya mayi ekotiola na bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse.
And there shall be upon every high mountain, and upon every prominent hill, rivulets, streams of waters on the day of the great slaughter, when 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.
And the light of the moon shall be as the light of the sun, and the light of the sun shall be sevenfold, as the light of the seven days, on the day that the Lord bindeth up the broken [limbs] of his people, and healeth the bruise of their wound.
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 cometh from afar, burning is his anger, and heavy the smoke; his lips are full of indignation, and his tongue is like a devouring 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.
And his breath, like an overflowing stream, shall reach to the midst of the neck, to toss the nations with the van of falsehood: and [to place] a deceiving bridle on the jaws of the people.
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.
[Then] shall ye have a song, as in the night when a festival is ushered in, and joy of heart, as when one goeth with the flute to come unto 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 will show the stretching down of his arm, in the indignation of [his] anger, and in the flame of a devouring fire, in flood, and tempest, and stones of hail.
31 Mongongo ya Yawe ekokweyisa Asiri, mpe akobeta bango na lingenda na Ye ya bokonzi.
For because of the voice of the Lord shall be terrified Asshur, that smote [you] with the rod.
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 at every passage of the appointed staff which the Lord will let fall on him, there shall be [music] on tambourine and harp; and in the tumult of battles will he fight with them.
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 already of old is Topheth made ready; also this is prepared for the king—deep and wide; its pile hath fire and wood in plenty, the breath of the Lord, like a stream of sulfur, will kindle it into a flame.
