Ezayi 42
1 Tala mosali na Ngai, oyo nasimbaka; moponami na Ngai, oyo asalaka esengo na Ngai. Nakotia Molimo na Ngai na likolo na ye, mpe akotia bosembo kati na bikolo,
Behold my servant, I will uphold him: my elect, my soul delighteth in him: I have given my spirit upon him, he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.
2 akotombola mongongo te, akoganga te, akobelela na mongongo makasi te na babalabala;
He shall not cry, nor have respect to person, neither shall his voice be heard abroad.
3 akobuka te mwa nzete ya kolemba oyo egumbama mpe akoboma te moto ya singa ya mwinda oyo ekomi pene ya kokufa. Akomema bosembo na solo nyonso,
The bruised reed he shall not break, and smoking flax he shall not quench: he shall bring forth judgment unto truth.
4 akolemba te mpe akotika te kino tango akotia bosembo na mokili. Bisanga ekotia elikya na mobeko na ye.
He shall not be sad, nor troublesome, till he set judgment in the earth: and the islands shall wait for his law.
5 Tala liloba oyo Nzambe, Yawe, alobi, Ye oyo akelaki likolo mpe atandaki yango lokola liputa, oyo atandaki mabele mpe biloko nyonso oyo mabele ebimisaka, oyo apesaka pema na bato na yango mpe bomoi na bato oyo batambolaka likolo na yango:
Thus saith the Lord God that created the heavens, and stretched them out: that established the earth, and the things that spring out of it: that giveth breath to the people upon it, and spirit to them that tread thereon.
6 « Ngai Yawe, nabengaki yo na bosembo, nasimbi loboko na yo makasi, nabateli yo mpe natie yo mpo na kosala boyokani elongo na bikolo mpe kozala pole ya bikolo,
I the Lord have called thee in justice, and taken thee by the hand, and preserved thee. And I have given thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles:
7 mpo na kofungola miso ya bakufi miso, mpo na kobimisa bakangami na boloko mpe kobimisa bavandi ya molili, na kasho.
That thou mightest open the eyes of the blind, and bring forth the prisoner out of prison, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison house.
8 Nazali Yawe; yango nde Kombo na Ngai; nakopesa nkembo na Ngai na mosusu te to lokumu na Ngai epai na banzambe ya bikeko te.
I the Lord, this is my name: I will not give my glory to another, nor my praise to graven things.
9 Tala, makambo ya liboso esili koleka, mpe Ngai nazali kotatola makambo ya sika; nayebisi bino yango liboso ete esalema. »
The things that were first, behold they are come: and new things do I declare: before they spring forth, I will make you head them.
10 Boyemba loyembo ya sika mpo na Yawe, bokumisa Ye wuta na basuka ya mabele, bino bato oyo botambolaka na ebale monene, mpe nyonso oyo etondisaka yango, bino bisanga mpe bavandi na yango nyonso!
Sing ye to the Lora a new song, his praise is from the ends of the earth: you that go down to the sea, and all that are therein: ye islands, and ye inhabitants of them.
11 Tika ete esobe mpe bingumba na yango etombola mingongo, tika ete bamboka mike epai wapi Kedari avandaka esepela! Tika ete bato ya Sela bayemba na esengo; tika ete baganga wuta na likolo ya bangomba!
Let the desert and the cities thereof be exalted: Cedar shall dwell in houses: ye inhabitants of Petra, give praise, they shall cry from the top of the mountains.
12 Tika ete bapesa nkembo epai na Yawe mpe batatola lokumu na Ye kati na bisanga!
They shall give glory to the Lord, and shall declare his praise in the islands.
13 Yawe akobima lokola elombe, akopelisa zuwa na Ye lokola mobundi bitumba; akoganga, solo; akoganga makasi, mpe akolonga banguna na Ye.
The Lord shall go forth as a mighty man, as a man of war shall he stir up zeal: he shall shout and cry: he shall prevail against his enemies.
14 Wuta kala, navandaki nye, nakangaki monoko mpe motema na ngai; kasi sik’oyo, lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota, nazali koganga, nazali kolela mpe kopema na pasi.
I have always held my peace, I have I kept silence, I have been patient, I will speak now as a woman in labour: I will destroy, and swallow up at once.
15 Nakobebisa bangomba milayi mpe mikuse, nakokawusa banzete mpe matiti na yango nyonso, nakokomisa bibale, bisanga, mpe nakokawusa maziba;
I will lay waste the mountains and hills, and will make all their grass to wither: and I will turn rivers into islands, and will dry up the standing pools.
16 nakomema bakufi miso na nzela oyo batikala nanu koyeba te, nakotambolisa bango na nzela oyo bamesana kotambola te; nakobongola molili pole liboso na bango, mpe nakokomisa nzela ya nyoka-nyoka nzela ya alima. Tala makambo oyo nakosala, nakotika yango te.
And I will lead the blind into the way which they know not: and in the paths which they were ignorant of I will make them walk: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight: these things have I done to them, and have not forsaken them.
17 Kasi bato oyo batiaka elikya na banzambe ya bikeko mpe balobaka na bililingi: « Bozali banzambe na biso, » bakozonga sima mpe bakosambwa.
They are turned back: let them be greatly confounded, that trust in a graven thing, that say to a molten thing: You are our god.
18 Boyoka, bino bakufi matoyi! Botala mpe bomona, bino bato bokufa miso!
Hear, ye deaf, and, ye blind, behold that you may see.
19 Nani azali mokufi miso soki mosali na ngai te? Nani yango mokufi matoyi soki ntoma oyo ngai natindaki te? Nani mokufi miso lokola molobeli na ngai? Nani mokufi miso lokola mosali na Yawe?
Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, but he to whom I have sent my messengers? Who is blind, but he that is sold? or who is blind, but the servant of the Lord?
20 Omonaki makambo ebele, kasi ozalaki na bokebi na yango te; matoyi na yo efungwamaki, kasi oyokaki ata eloko moko te.
Thou that seest many things, wilt thou not observe them? thou that hast ears open, wilt thou not hear?
21 Esepelisaki Yawe, mpo na bosembo na Ye, kokomisa Mobeko na Ye eloko ya monene mpe ya lokumu.
And the Lord was willing to sanctify him, and to magnify the law, and exalt it.
22 Kasi tala bato oyo bomengo na bango, babotola yango mpe babebisa bango; bakanga bango nyonso na mabulu mpe babomba bango kati na boloko, bakoma lokola bomengo ya bitumba, bongo moto akokangola bango azali te; bakoma lokola mosuni, bongo moto akoloba: « Zongisa bango, » azali te.
But this is a people that is robbed and wasted: they are all the snare of young men, and they are hid in the houses of prisons: they are made a prey, and there is none to deliver them: a spoil, and there is none that saith: Restore.
23 Nani kati na bino akoyoka makambo yango? Nani akozala na bokebi na makambo oyo ekoya?
Who is there among you that will give ear to this, that will attend and hearken for times to come?
24 Nani akabaki Jakobi na maboko ya babebisi, mpe Isalaele na maboko ya banguna? Boni, ezalaki Yawe te oyo liboso ya nani basalelaki masumu? Pamba te balingaki te kolanda nzela na Ye mpe kotosa Mobeko na Ye.
Who hath given Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to robbers? hath not the Lord himself, against whom we have sinned? And they would not walk in his ways, and they have not hearkened to his law.
25 Boye, asopelaki bango moto ya kanda na Ye, mobulu ya etumba makasi; azingelaki bango na moto na bangambo nyonso, kasi basosolaki te; mpe moto ezikisaki bango, kasi bazwaki penza likambo yango na motema te.
And he hath poured out upon him the indignation of his fury, and a strong battle, and hath burnt him round about, and he knew not: and set him on fire, and he understood not.
