< Ezayi 32 >
1 Tala, mokonzi moko akokonza na bosembo, mpe bakambi na ye bakokamba na solo.
Behold, a king shall reign in righteousness, and as for princes, they shall rule in justice.
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 be as in a hiding-place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as by the watercourses in a dry place, as in the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.
3 Miso ya bato oyo bamonaka ekozipama lisusu te, mpe matoyi ya bato oyo bayokaka ekoyoka malamu.
And the eyes of them that see shall not be closed, and the ears of them that hear shall attend.
4 Mito ya bato oyo bazangi mayele ekozwa boyebi mpe bososoli, bongo lolemo ya bato ya likukuma ekokoma koloba noki-noki mpe malamu.
The heart also of the rash shall understand knowledge, and the tongue of the stammerers shall be ready to speak plainly.
5 Bakobenga lisusu te moto ya lokumu zoba, mpe bakobenga lisusu te moto oyo akabaka moyimi;
The vile person shall be no more called liberal, nor the churl said to be noble.
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 vile person will speak villainy, and his heart will work iniquity, to practise ungodliness, and to utter wickedness against the LORD, to make empty the soul of the hungry, and to cause the drink of the thirsty to fail.
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.
The instruments also of the churl are evil; he deviseth wicked devices to destroy the poor with lying words, and the needy when he speaketh right.
8 Kasi moto ya lokumu asalaka mabongisi ya lokumu mpe alendaka mpo na misala na ye ya lokumu.
But the liberal deviseth liberal things; and by liberal things shall he 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 women that are at ease, and hear my voice; ye confident daughters, give ear unto my speech.
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.
After a year and days shall ye be troubled, ye confident women; for the vintage shall fail, the ingathering shall not come.
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!
Tremble, ye women that are at ease; be troubled, ye confident ones; strip you, and make you bare, and gird sackcloth upon your loins,
12 Bolela na kobeta tolo mpo na bilanga ya kitoko, mpo na bilanga ya vino oyo ebotaka malamu,
Smiting upon the breasts for the pleasant fields, for the fruitful 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,
For the land of my people whereon thorns and briers come up; yea, for all the houses of joy and the joyous city.
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,
For the palace shall be forsaken; the city with its stir shall be deserted; the mound and the tower shall be for dens for ever, a joy of wild asses, a pasture of flocks;
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 be poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness become a fruitful field, and the fruitful field be counted for a forest.
16 Bosembo ekowumela kati na esobe, mpe solo ekozala kati na bilanga oyo ebotaka kitoko.
Then justice shall dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness shall abide in the fruitful field.
17 Mbuma ya bosembo ekozala kimia: bosembo ekobota bopemi mpe bobatelami mpo na libela.
And the work of righteousness shall be peace; and the effect of righteousness quietness and confidence for ever.
18 Bato na ngai bakovanda na bandako ya kimia, na bandako ya malonga mpe na bisika ya bopemi ya kimia.
And my people shall abide in a peaceable habitation, and in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting-places.
19 Na nzela ya mvula ya mabanga oyo ekonoka, zamba mpe engumba ekokitisama na se penza.
And it shall hail, in the downfall of the forest; but the city shall descend into the valley.
20 Esengo na bino oyo bozali kolona milona pene na mayi mpe kotinda ngombe mpe ane na bino konyata bisika nyonso.
Happy are ye that sow beside all waters, that send forth freely the feet of the ox and the ass.
