Ezayi 6
1 Na mobu oyo mokonzi Oziasi akufaki, namonaki Yawe avandi na Kiti moko ya bokonzi, etombwama makasi, bongo basonge ya nzambala na Ye etondisaki Tempelo.
And it came to pass in the year in which king Ozias died, [that] I saw the Lord sitting on a high and exalted throne, and the house was full of his glory.
2 Ba-anjelu oyo babengaka baserafe batelemaki na likolo na Ye; moko na moko azalaki na mapapu motoba: mapapu mibale mpo na kozipa elongi, mibale mpo na kozipa makolo mpe mibale mpo na kopumbwa.
And seraphs stood round about him: each one had six wings: and with two they covered [their] face, and with two they covered [their] feet, and with two they flew.
3 Serafe moko na moko azalaki koganga na mosusu: « Bule, Bule, Bule, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! Mokili mobimba etondi na nkembo na Ye! »
And one cried to the other, and they said, Holy, holy, holy [is the] Lord of hosts: the whole earth is full of his glory.
4 Na makelele ya mingongo na bango, mabaya oyo esimbaka bikuke ekomaki koningana, mpe Tempelo etondaki na milinga.
And the lintel shook at the voice they uttered, and the house was filled with smoke.
5 Nalobaki: « Mawa na ngai! Nabebi na ngai, pamba te nazali moto ya bibebu ya mbindo, navandaka kati na bato oyo bazali na bibebu ya mbindo, mpe miso na ngai emoni Mokonzi, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga! »
And I said, Woe is me, for I am pricked to the heart; for being a man, and having unclean lips, I dwell in the midst of a people having unclean lips; and I have seen with mine eyes the King, the Lord of hosts.
6 Moko kati na baserafe asimbaki, na loboko na ye, likala ya moto oyo azwaki na etumbelo na bisimbelo, apumbwaki mpe ayaki epai na ngai;
And there was sent to me one of the seraphs, and he had in his hand a coal, which he had taken off the altar with the tongs:
7 atutisaki likala yango na monoko na ngai mpe alobaki: « Tala, lokola likala oyo etuti bibebu na yo, mabe na yo esili kolongwa, masumu na yo esili kolimbisama. »
and he touched my mouth, and said, Behold, this has touched your lips, and will take away your iniquities, and will purge off your sins.
8 Bongo, nayokaki mongongo na Nkolo koloba: — Nakotinda nani? Nani akokende mpo na biso? Nazongisaki: — Ngai oyo, tinda ngai!
And I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go to this people? And I said, behold, I am [here], send me. And he said, Go, and say to this people,
9 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Kende koloba na bato oyo: « Boyoka na bino, kasi bokososola te; botala na bino, kasi bokomona te!
You shall hear indeed, but you shall not understand; and you shall see indeed, but you shall not perceive.
10 Komisa bato oyo mitema makasi, kanga matoyi na bango mpe zipa miso na bango mpo ete bamona te na miso na bango, bayoka te na matoyi na bango, basosola te na mitema na bango, babongwana te mpe babika te! »
For the heart of this people has become gross, and their ears are dull of hearing, and their eyes have they closed; lest they should see with their eyes, and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and I should heal them.
11 Boye nalobaki: — Oh Nkolo, kino tango nini? Azongisaki: — Kino bingumba ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te, kino tango bato bakotikala lisusu na bandako te, mpe bilanga ekobebisama mpe bakosakanela yango;
And I said, How long, O Lord? And he said, Until cities be deserted by reason of their not being inhabited, and the houses by reason of there being no men, and the land shall be left desolate.
12 kino tango Yawe akotinda bato mosika, kino tango bakobosana penza mokili libela.
And after this God shall remove the men far off, and they that are left upon the land shall be multiplied.
13 Soki ndambo moko kati na bandambo zomi ya bato ekotikala na mokili, bakobebisama na moto. Kasi ndenge terebente mpe nzete oyo babengaka sheni etikaka misisa na yango soki bakati yango, ndenge wana mpe nkona ya bule ekotika misisa na mokili.
And yet there shall be a tenth upon it, and again it shall be for a spoil, as a turpentine tree, and as an acorn when it falls out of its husk.
