Ezayi 45
1 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi epai ya Sirisi, mopakolami na Ye, oyo Yawe asimbi loboko na ye ya mobali mpo na kokweyisa bikolo nyonso liboso na ye mpe kolongola mikaba wuta na baloketo ya bakonzi, mpo na kofungola bikuke liboso na ye mpo ete bikuke yango ekangama te:
Thus says the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have held, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;
2 Nakotambola liboso na yo mpe nakolalisa bangomba, nakobuka bikuke ya bronze mpe nakokata-kata bibende oyo bakangelaka yango.
I will go before you, and make the crooked places straight: I will break in pieces the gates of brass, and cut in sunder the bars of iron:
3 Nakopesa yo bomengo oyo babomba na molili, bozwi oyo batia na bisika ebombama, mpo okoka koyeba ete Ngai nazali Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo abengi yo na kombo na yo.
And I will give you the treasures of darkness, and hidden riches of secret places, that you may know that I, the LORD, which call you by your name, am the God of Israel.
4 Mpo na bolingo ya Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, mpe Isalaele, moponami na Ngai, nabengi yo na kombo na yo, napesi yo kombo ya lokumu atako oyebi Ngai nanu te.
For Jacob my servant’s sake, and Israel my elect, I have even called you by your name: I have surnamed you, though you have not known me.
5 Nazali Yawe, mosusu azali te; Nzambe mosusu azali te, soki Ngai te. Nalatisi yo mokaba na loketo atako oyebi Ngai nanu te;
I am the LORD, and there is none else, there is no God beside me: I girded you, though you have not known me:
6 mpo ete, longwa na ngambo ya este kino na ngambo ya weste, bato bayeba ete mosusu azali te, bobele Ngai nde nazali Nzambe. Nazali Yawe, mosusu azali te.
That they may know from the rising of the sun, and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else.
7 Nasalaka pole mpe nakelaka molili, napesaka kimia mpe nakelaka pasi; Ngai Yawe nde nasalaka makambo oyo nyonso.
I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.
8 Yo, Lola kuna na likolo, nokisa bosembo lokola mvula, tika ete mapata ekitisa yango! Tika ete mabele efungwama mpo ete lobiko ebima; tika ete bosembo ekola nzela moko! Ezali Ngai Yawe nde nakelaki yango.
Drop down, you heavens, from above, and let the skies pour down righteousness: let the earth open, and let them bring forth salvation, and let righteousness spring up together; I the LORD have created it.
9 Mawa na ye oyo abetaka tembe na Mokeli na ye, ye oyo azali kaka mbeki kati na bambeki ya mabele! Boni, potopoto ekoki solo koloba na moto oyo asali yango: ‹ Ozali kosala nini? › Mpe mosala ya maboko na yo ekoki solo koloba: ‹ Azali na maboko te? ›
Woe to him that strives with his Maker! Let the potsherd strive with the potsherds of the earth. Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What make you? or your work, He has no hands?
10 Mawa na ye oyo alobaka na tata na ye: ‹ Mpo na nini obotaki ngai? › Mpe na mama na ye: ‹ Mpo na nini obotaki ngai? ›
Woe to him that says to his father, What beget you? or to the woman, What have you brought forth?
11 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele mpe Mokeli na ye, alobi: Boni, bino nde bato bokotuna Ngai soki nakosala nini mpo na bana na Ngai na mikolo oyo ekoya to bino nde bato bokopesa Ngai mitindo mpo na mosala oyo maboko na Ngai esali?
Thus says the LORD, the Holy One of Israel, and his Maker, Ask me of things to come concerning my sons, and concerning the work of my hands command you me.
12 Ngai nde nasala mabele mpe nakela bato kati na yango; loboko na Ngai moko nde etandaki likolo lokola liputa mpe etiaki mampinga na yango nyonso na molongo.
I have made the earth, and created man on it: I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens, and all their host have I commanded.
13 Nakobimisa Sirisi na bosembo na Ngai; nakokomisa nzela na ye nyonso alima. Akotonga lisusu engumba na Ngai mpe akopesa bonsomi na bakangami na Ngai; ekozala na motuya ya mbongo to ya biloko te, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. »
I have raised him up in righteousness, and I will direct all his ways: he shall build my city, and he shall let go my captives, not for price nor reward, says the LORD of hosts.
14 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mosala ya Ejipito, mombongo ya Kushi mpe bato milayi ya Seba, bakoleka epai na yo mpe bakozala ya yo. Bakotambola ya kokangama na minyololo, sima na yo; bakofukama liboso na yo mpe bakobondela yo na maloba oyo: ‹ Solo, Nzambe azali penza epai na yo, nzambe mosusu azali te! › »
Thus says the LORD, The labor of Egypt, and merchandise of Ethiopia and of the Sabeans, men of stature, shall come over to you, and they shall be yours: they shall come after you; in chains they shall come over, and they shall fall down to you, they shall make supplication to you, saying, Surely God is in you; and there is none else, there is no God.
15 Solo, ozali Nzambe oyo amibombaka, Nzambe, Mobikisi ya Isalaele!
Truly you are a God that hide yourself, O God of Israel, the Savior.
16 Bato nyonso oyo basalaka banzambe ya bikeko bakoyoka soni mpe bakosambwa; bango nyonso, bakokende na soni.
They shall be ashamed, and also confounded, all of them: they shall go to confusion together that are makers of idols.
17 Kasi Yawe akobikisa Isalaele na lobiko ya seko na seko. Bokotikalaka lisusu koyoka soni te mpe kosambwa te, libela na libela.
But Israel shall be saved in the LORD with an everlasting salvation: you shall not be ashamed nor confounded world without end.
18 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi, Ye oyo akela likolo, Ye oyo azali Nzambe oyo asala mpe abongisa mabele, mpe atelemisa yango ngwi; Ye akelaki yango te mpo ete ezala pamba, kasi asalaki yango mpo ete bato bavanda: « Nazali Yawe, mpe mosusu azali te.
For thus says the LORD that created the heavens; God himself that formed the earth and made it; he has established it, he created it not in vain, he formed it to be inhabited: I am the LORD; and there is none else.
19 Nalobaki na nkuku te, kati na esika moko te ya molili ya mokili; nalobaki te na bakitani ya Jakobi: ‹ Boluka Ngai kati na pamba! › Nazali Yawe, nalobaka oyo ezali sembo, nasakolaka oyo ezali alima.
I have not spoken in secret, in a dark place of the earth: I said not to the seed of Jacob, Seek you me in vain: I the LORD speak righteousness, I declare things that are right.
20 Bosangana elongo mpe boya, bopusana elongo bino nyonso, bino bato oyo bobiki kati na bikolo! Bato oyo bamemaka banzambe ya bikeko basala na nzete mpe babelelaka nzambe oyo ebikisaka te; bazangi boyebi.
Assemble yourselves and come; draw near together, you that are escaped of the nations: they have no knowledge that set up the wood of their graven image, and pray to a god that cannot save.
21 Botelema mpe bopesa sango, boloba makambo na bino mpe tosamba elongo! Nani asakolaki yango wuta kala mpe atatolaki yango wuta na tango oyo eleka? Ezali Ngai Yawe te? Ezali na Nzambe mosusu te, soki Ngai te. Nazali Nzambe ya sembo mpe Mobikisi; mosusu azali te, soki Ngai te.
Tell you, and bring them near; yes, let them take counsel together: who has declared this from ancient time? who has told it from that time? have not I the LORD? and there is no God else beside me; a just God and a Savior; there is none beside me.
22 Bozonga epai na Ngai mpo ete bobika, bino nyonso oyo bozali na basuka ya mokili; pamba te Ngai, nazali Nzambe, mpe mosusu azali te.
Look to me, and be you saved, all the ends of the earth: for I am God, and there is none else.
23 Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai; oyo ezali sembo ebimaka na monoko na Ngai, liloba oyo bakoki koboya te: mabolongo nyonso ekofukama liboso na Ngai, mpe minoko nyonso ekolapa ndayi na Kombo na Ngai.
I have sworn by myself, the word is gone out of my mouth in righteousness, and shall not return, That to me every knee shall bow, every tongue shall swear.
24 Bakoloba na tina na Ngai: ‹ Makasi mpe bosembo ezali kati na Yawe kaka. › » Bato nyonso oyo batombokelaki Ye bakoya epai na Ye mpe bakoyoka soni.
Surely, shall one say, in the LORD have I righteousness and strength: even to him shall men come; and all that are incensed against him shall be ashamed.
25 Ezali kati na Yawe nde bato nyonso oyo bazali bakitani ya Isalaele bakokoma bato ya sembo mpe bakozwa lokumu.
In the LORD shall all the seed of Israel be justified, and shall glory.
