Ezayi 56
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Botambola na alima mpe bosala kolanda bosembo, pamba te lobiko na Ngai ekomi pene mpe bosembo na Ngai ekomi pene ya komonisama.
Thus saith the Lord, Keepe iudgement and doe iustice: for my saluation is at hand to come, and my righteousnes to be reueiled.
2 Esengo na moto oyo asalaka bongo, oyo akangamaka na yango, oyo abatelaka mokolo ya Saba mpe abebisaka te bosantu na yango, mpe oyo abatelaka loboko na ye ete esala mabe te! »
Blessed is the man that doeth this, and the sonne of man which layeth holde on it: hee that keepeth the Sabbath and polluteth it not, and keepeth his hand from doing any euill.
3 Tika ete mopaya oyo akangami na Yawe aloba te: « Yawe akokabola ngai solo na bato na Ye! » Mpe tika ete soda oyo baboma mokongo aloba te: « Nazali na ngai kaka nzete ya kokawuka! »
And let not the sonne of the stranger, which is ioyned to the Lord, speake and say, The Lord hath surely separate me from his people: neither let the Eunuch say, Beholde, I am a drye tree.
4 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mpo na basoda oyo baboma bango mikongo, oyo babatelaka mokolo na Ngai ya Saba, oyo baponaka makambo oyo esepelisaka Ngai, mpe bakangamaka na boyokani na Ngai:
For thus saith the Lord vnto the Eunuches, that keepe my Sabbaths, and chuse the thing that pleaseth me, and take holde of my couenant,
5 nakopesa bango, kati na Tempelo na Ngai mpe na bamir na yango, ekaniseli oyo ezali na kombo: ekozala malamu koleka kozala na bana mibali mpe bana basi. Nakopesa bango kombo ya libela, oyo bakoki kolongola te.
Euen vnto them wil I giue in mine House and within my walles, a place and a name better then of the sonnes and of the daughters: I will giue them an euerlasting name, that shall not be put out.
6 Bapaya oyo bakangami na Yawe mpo na kosalela Ye, mpo na kolinga Kombo na Ye mpe kogumbamela Ye, bato nyonso oyo bakobatela mokolo ya Saba mpe bakobebisa te bosantu na yango, mpe bato oyo bakokangama na boyokani na Ngai;
Also the strangers that cleaue vnto the Lord, to serue him, and to loue the Name of the Lord, and to be his seruants: euery one that keepeth the Sabbath, and polluteth it not and imbraceth my couenant,
7 nakomema bango na ngomba na Ngai ya bule mpe nakopesa bango esengo kati na Ndako epai wapi basambelaka Ngai. Bambeka na bango ya kotumba mpe makabo na bango ekondimama na etumbelo na Ngai, pamba te Ndako na Ngai ekobengama Ndako ya losambo mpo na bikolo nyonso. »
Them wil I bring also to mine holy mountaine, and make them ioyfull in mine House of prayer: their burnt offerings and their sacrifices shall be accepted vpon mine altar: for mine House shall be called an house of prayer for all people.
8 Nkolo Yawe oyo asangisi bawumbu ya Isalaele alobi: « Nakosangisa lisusu bato mosusu elongo na bango, esika moko na bato oyo nasilaki kosangisa. »
The Lord God sayth, which gathereth the scattered of Israel, Yet wil I gather to them those that are to be gathered to them.
9 Bino banyama nyonso ya esobe, boya; bino banyama nyonso ya zamba, boya kolia!
All ye beastes of the fielde, come to deuoure, euen all ye beastes of the forest.
10 Bakengeli ya Isalaele bazali bakufi miso, bango nyonso bazangi mayele; bango nyonso bazali lokola bambwa oyo egangaka te, bakokaka koganga te, mosala na bango kolala mpe kolota bandoto, balingi pongi makasi.
Their watchmen are all blinde: they haue no knowledge: they are all dumme dogs: they can not barke: they lie and sleepe and delite in sleeping.
11 Bazali lokola bambwa ya lokoso, batondaka te. Bazali babateli oyo bazangi bososoli, moko na moko kati na bango alandaka kaka nzela na ye moko mpe alukaka kaka bolamu na ye moko.
And these griedy dogs can neuer haue ynough: and these shepheards cannot vnderstand: for they all looke to their owne way, euery one for his aduantage, and for his owne purpose.
12 Moko na moko alobaka: « Yaka! Tika ete nakamata vino mpo ete tomela mpe tolangwa na biso masanga! Lobi mpe ekozala kaka ndenge moko na lelo, masanga ya komela ezali nanu ebele! »
Come, I wil bring wine, and we wil fill our selues with strong drinke, and to morowe shalbe as this day, and much more abundant.
