Ezayi 32

1 Tala, mokonzi moko akokonza na bosembo, mpe bakambi na ye bakokamba na solo.

For, behold, a righteous king shall reign, and princes shall govern with judgment.

2 Moko na moko kati na bango akozala lokola ekimelo liboso ya mopepe mpe ebombamelo liboso ya mvula ya makasi; akozala lokola miluka ya mayi kati na esobe, lokola elili ya libanga monene kati na mokili ya mabele ekawuka.

And a man shall hide his words, and be hidden, as from rushing water, and shall appear in Sion as a rushing river, glorious in a thirsty land.

3 Miso ya bato oyo bamonaka ekozipama lisusu te, mpe matoyi ya bato oyo bayokaka ekoyoka malamu.

And they shall no more trust in men, but they shall incline their ears to hear.

4 Mito ya bato oyo bazangi mayele ekozwa boyebi mpe bososoli, bongo lolemo ya bato ya likukuma ekokoma koloba noki-noki mpe malamu.

And the heart of the weak ones shall attend to hear, and the stammering tongues shall soon learn to speak peace.

5 Bakobenga lisusu te moto ya lokumu zoba, mpe bakobenga lisusu te moto oyo akabaka moyimi;

And they shall no more at all tell a fool to rule, and thy servants shall no more at all say, Be silent.

6 pamba te zoba alobaka kaka na bozoba, motema na ye ekanisaka kaka makambo mabe: atiolaka nzela ya bule, alobaka maloba ya nkele mpo na kotelemela Yawe, atikaka libumu ya moto oyo azali na nzala pamba mpe apesaka te mayi na moto oyo azali na yango posa.

For the fool shall speak foolish words, and his heart shall meditate vanities, and to perform lawless deeds and to speak error against the Lord, to scatter hungry souls, and he will cause the thirsty souls to be empty.

7 Misala ya moyimi ezalaka mabe, abongisaka kaka miango ya mabe mpo na kopengwisa mobola na maloba ya lokuta na tango oyo mobola azali na mbeba te.

For the counsel of the wicked will devise iniquity, to destroy the poor with unjust words, and ruin the cause of the poor in judgment.

8 Kasi moto ya lokumu asalaka mabongisi ya lokumu mpe alendaka mpo na misala na ye ya lokumu.

But the godly have devised wise [measures], and this counsel shall stand.

9 Bino basi oyo bovandaka na kimia, botelema mpe boyoka ngai; bino bilenge basi oyo bomitungisaka na eloko moko te, boyoka makambo oyo nalingi koloba:

Rise up, ye rich women, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, hearken to my words.

10 Etikali kaka mikolo moke kati na mobu, bino basi oyo bozali na kimia, bokoningana; pamba te tango ya kosangisa milona ya vino esili koleka, mpe tango ya kobuka bambuma ekozala lisusu te.

Remember for a full year in pain, yet with hope: the vintage has been cut off; it has ceased, it shall by no means come again.

11 Bolenga, bino basi oyo bovandaka na kimia; boningana, bino bilenge basi oyo bomitungisaka na eloko moko te! Bolongola bilamba na bino mpe botikala bolumbu, bolata basaki na loketo na bino!

Be amazed, be pained, ye confident ones: strip you, bare yourselves, gird your loins;

12 Bolela na kobeta tolo mpo na bilanga ya kitoko, mpo na bilanga ya vino oyo ebotaka malamu,

and beat your breasts, because of the pleasant field, and the fruit of the vine.

13 mpe mpo na mokili ya bato na ngai; pamba te mokili oyo eboti basende mpe banzube. Solo, bolela mpo na bandako nyonso ya kitoko mpe mpo na engumba oyo etonda na bisengo,

[As for] the land of my people, the thorn and grass shall come upon [it], and joy shall be removed from every house.

14 pamba te basundoli ndako ya mokonzi; engumba oyo etonda makelele etikali lisusu na bato te, Ofeli mpe ndako molayi ya bakengeli ekomi mpo na libela mabulu ya mabanga mpo na bisengo ya ba-ane ya zamba, mpe ekokoma etando epai wapi bibwele ekobanda kolia matiti,

[As for] the rich city, the houses are deserted; they shall abandon the wealth of the city, [and] the pleasant houses: and the villages shall be caves for ever, the joy of wild asses, shepherds' pastures;

15 kino tango Molimo akosopanela biso wuta na likolo, bongo esobe ekokoma bilanga oyo ebotaka kitoko; mpe bilanga oyo ebotaka kitoko ekomonana lokola zamba monene.

until the Spirit shall come upon you from on high, and Chermel shall be desert, and Chermel shall be counted for a forest.

16 Bosembo ekowumela kati na esobe, mpe solo ekozala kati na bilanga oyo ebotaka kitoko.

Then judgment shall abide in the wilderness, and righteousness shall dwell in Carmel.

17 Mbuma ya bosembo ekozala kimia: bosembo ekobota bopemi mpe bobatelami mpo na libela.

And the works of righteousness shall be peace; and righteousness shall ensure rest, and [the righteous] shall be confident for ever.

18 Bato na ngai bakovanda na bandako ya kimia, na bandako ya malonga mpe na bisika ya bopemi ya kimia.

And his people shall inhabit a city of peace, and dwell in [it] in confidence, and they shall rest with wealth.

19 Na nzela ya mvula ya mabanga oyo ekonoka, zamba mpe engumba ekokitisama na se penza.

And if the hail should come down, it shall not come upon you; and they that dwell in the forests shall be in confidence, as those in the plain country.

20 Esengo na bino oyo bozali kolona milona pene na mayi mpe kotinda ngombe mpe ane na bino konyata bisika nyonso.

Blessed are they that sow by every water, where the ox and ass tread.
