Ezayi 35
1 Tika ete esobe mpe mabele ya kokawuka esepela! Tika ete esobe eyoka esengo mpe ebimisa fololo ya motane lokola roze!
The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose.
2 Ekobota fololo mingi penza mpe ekosepela, ekosepela mpe ekoganga na esengo. Nkembo ya Libani, lokumu ya Karimeli mpe ya Saroni ekopesamela yango; boye bakomona nkembo ya Yawe, lokumu ya Nzambe na biso.
It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice even with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be given to it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the LORD, and the excellency of our God.
3 Pesa makasi na maboko oyo elembi, lendisa mabolongo oyo ezali kolenga;
Strengthen you the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees.
4 Loba na bato oyo bazali kobanga: « Bozala makasi, bobanga te, Nzambe na bino akoya, akoya kozongisa mabe na mabe, akoya na lifuti ya Nzambe. Ye moko akoya kobikisa bino. »
Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompense; he will come and save you.
5 Boye, bakufi miso bakomona mpe bakufi matoyi bakoyoka.
Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopped.
6 Moto ya tengu-tengu akopumbwa lokola mboloko, mpe lolemo ya baba ekoyemba na esengo. Mayi ekobima na esobe, mpe bibale, na bisika ya kokawuka.
Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert.
7 Zelo ya esobe ekobongwana liziba ya mayi, mpe mabele ya kokawuka ekokoma bitima ya mayi. Matiti, nzete oyo ebotaka na mayi mpe papirisi ekobota na bisika oyo mbwa ya zamba elalaka.
And the parched ground shall become a pool, and the thirsty land springs of water: in the habitation of dragons, where each lay, shall be grass with reeds and rushes.
8 Nzela moko ya monene ekoleka wana, bakobenga yango Balabala ya Bosantu. Moto moko te ya mbindo akoleka wana, pamba te ebongisamaki kaka mpo na bato ya Yawe. Boye ata zoba akoki te kobunga na nzela yango.
And an highway shall be there, and a way, and it shall be called The way of holiness; the unclean shall not pass over it; but it shall be for those: the wayfaring men, though fools, shall not err therein.
9 Nkosi ekozala te na nzela yango, ata nyama moko te ya mabe ekoleka na nzela yango, ekotikala komonana kuna te. Kasi basikolami kaka nde bakotambola na nzela yango.
No lion shall be there, nor any ravenous beast shall go up thereon, it shall not be found there; but the redeemed shall walk there:
10 Boye, bakangolami na Yawe bakozonga, bakokota na Siona na nzembo ya elonga, mpe esengo ya suka te ekozala na likolo ya mito na bango lokola mitole. Esengo mpe kosepela ekopesamela bango, nzokande mawa mpe kolela ekosila.
And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, and come to Zion with songs and everlasting joy on their heads: they shall obtain joy and gladness, and sorrow and sighing shall flee away.
