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 take hold on Him, My Chosen One—My soul has accepted, I have put My Spirit on Him, He brings forth judgment to nations.
2 akotombola mongongo te, akoganga te, akobelela na mongongo makasi te na babalabala;
He does not cry, nor lift up, Nor cause His voice to be heard in the street.
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,
A bruised reed He does not break, And faded flax He does not quench, He brings forth judgment to truth.
4 akolemba te mpe akotika te kino tango akotia bosembo na mokili. Bisanga ekotia elikya na mobeko na ye.
He does not become weak nor bruised, Until He sets judgment in the earth, And islands wait with hope 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 said God, YHWH, Creating the heavens, and stretching them out, Spreading out the earth and its productions, Giving breath to the people on it, And spirit to those walking in it.
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, YHWH, called you in righteousness, And I lay hold on your hand, and keep you, And I give you for a covenant of a people, And a light of nations.
7 mpo na kofungola miso ya bakufi miso, mpo na kobimisa bakangami na boloko mpe kobimisa bavandi ya molili, na kasho.
To open the eyes of the blind, To bring forth the bound one from prison, Those sitting in darkness from the house of restraint.
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 [am] YHWH, this [is] My Name, And I do not give My glory to another, Nor My praise to carved images.
9 Tala, makambo ya liboso esili koleka, mpe Ngai nazali kotatola makambo ya sika; nayebisi bino yango liboso ete esalema. »
The former things, behold, have come, And I am declaring new things, Before they spring up I cause you to hear.
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 a new song to YHWH, His praise from the end of the earth, You who are going down to the sea, and its fullness, Islands, and their inhabitants.
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!
The wilderness and its cities lift up [their voice], Kedar inhabits the villages, The inhabitants of Sela sing, They cry from the top of mountains.
12 Tika ete bapesa nkembo epai na Yawe mpe batatola lokumu na Ye kati na bisanga!
They ascribe to YHWH glory, And they 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.
YHWH goes forth as a mighty one. He stirs up zeal as a man of war, He cries, indeed, He shrieks, He shows Himself mighty 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 kept silent from of old, I keep silent, I refrain Myself, I cry out as a travailing woman, I desolate and swallow up together.
15 Nakobebisa bangomba milayi mpe mikuse, nakokawusa banzete mpe matiti na yango nyonso, nakokomisa bibale, bisanga, mpe nakokawusa maziba;
I make desolate mountains and hills, And I dry up all their herbs, And I have made rivers become islands, And I dry up ponds.
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 have caused the blind to go, In a way they have not known, I cause them to tread in paths they have not known, I make a dark place become light before them, And unleveled places become a plain, These [are] the things I have done to them, And I 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.
Removed backward—utterly ashamed, Are those trusting in a carved image, Those saying to a molten image, “You [are] our gods.”
18 Boyoka, bino bakufi matoyi! Botala mpe bomona, bino bato bokufa miso!
You deaf, hear; and you blind, look to 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? And deaf as My messenger I send? Who [is] blind as he who is at peace, Indeed, blind, as the servant of YHWH?
20 Omonaki makambo ebele, kasi ozalaki na bokebi na yango te; matoyi na yo efungwamaki, kasi oyokaki ata eloko moko te.
Seeing many things, and you do not observe, Opening ears, and he does not hear.
21 Esepelisaki Yawe, mpo na bosembo na Ye, kokomisa Mobeko na Ye eloko ya monene mpe ya lokumu.
YHWH has delight for the sake of His righteousness, He magnifies law, and makes honorable.
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.
And this [is] a people seized and spoiled, Snared in holes—all of them, And they were hidden in houses of restraint, They have been for a prey, And there is no deliverer, A spoil, and none is saying, “Restore.”
23 Nani kati na bino akoyoka makambo yango? Nani akozala na bokebi na makambo oyo ekoya?
Who among you gives ear [to] this? Attends, and hears afterward?
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 has given Jacob for a spoil, And Israel to the spoilers? Is it not YHWH—He against whom we sinned? Indeed, they have not been willing to walk in His ways, Nor have they listened 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 pours fury on him, His anger, and the strength of battle, And it sets him on fire all around, And he has not known, And it burns against him, and he does not lay it to heart!
