< Ezayi 61 >

1 Molimo ya Nkolo Yawe azali likolo na ngai, pamba te Yawe apakoli ngai mafuta mpo na kosakola sango malamu epai ya babola, kobikisa bato oyo mitema na bango esili kozoka, kosakola bonsomi epai ya bawumbu mpe kobimisa bakangami na boloko;
The Spirit of the Lord GOD is on me; because the LORD has anointed me to preach good tidings to the meek; he has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound;
2 mpo na kosakola mpo na Yawe mobu ya ngolu, kosakola mpo na Nzambe na biso mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, kobondisa bato oyo bazali kolela,
To proclaim the acceptable year of the LORD, and the day of vengeance of our God; to comfort all that mourn;
3 komema epai na bato ya Siona, oyo bazali na matanga mitole na esika ya putulu, mafuta ya esengo na esika ya matanga, mpe kopesa elamba ya lokumu na esika ya molimo oyo etutami. Bakobengama terebente ya bosembo, elanga ya Yawe, mpo na komonisa nkembo na Ye.
To appoint to them that mourn in Zion, to give to them beauty for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the LORD, that he might be glorified.
4 Bakotonga lisusu bisika oyo ekoma mabanga-mabanga wuta kala, bisika oyo ebukana-bukana wuta na tango ya kala; bakokomisa sika bingumba oyo ekweya, oyo ebeba wuta bileko ya kala.
And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.
5 Bapaya bakoleisa bibwele na yo, bana ya bapaya bakosalela yo bilanga mpe bakolonela yo bilanga ya vino.
And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks, and the sons of the alien shall be your plowmen and your vinedressers.
6 Kasi bino, bokobengama Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, bakopesa bino kombo bawumbu ya Nzambe na biso; bokolia mpe bokotonda na bozwi ya bikolo mpe bokozwa lokumu na bomengo na bango.
But you shall be named the Priests of the LORD: men shall call you the Ministers of our God: you shall eat the riches of the Gentiles, and in their glory shall you boast yourselves.
7 Na esika ya soni na bino, bokozwa litomba mbala mibale, mpe na esika ya kosambwa, bokosepela na libula na bino. Boye, bokozwa litomba mbala mibale kati na mokili na bino mpe bokosepela mpo na libela.
For your shame you shall have double; and for confusion they shall rejoice in their portion: therefore in their land they shall possess the double: everlasting joy shall be to them.
8 Pamba te Ngai Yawe, nalingaka bosembo, nayinaka moyibi mpe masumu; nakofuta bino na bolingo na Ngai mpe nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na bino.
For I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
9 Bakitani na bino bakoyebana kati na mabota, mpe bana na bino bakoyebana kati na bikolo; moto nyonso oyo akomona bino akondima ete bozali bato oyo Yawe apamboli.
And their seed shall be known among the Gentiles, and their offspring among the people: all that see them shall acknowledge them, that they are the seed which the LORD has blessed.
10 Nakosepela makasi kati na Yawe, molimo na ngai ekosepela kati na Nzambe na ngai, pamba te alatisi ngai bilamba ya lobiko mpe azipi ngai na elamba ya bosembo, ndenge mobandami ya mobali alataka motole na ye ya kitoko lokola Nganga-Nzambe to ndenge mobandami ya mwasi alataka mayaka na ye ya talo.
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my soul shall be joyful in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with ornaments, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels.
11 Pamba te ndenge mabele ebimisaka matiti mpe elanga ebimisaka nkona na yango, Nkolo Yawe mpe akoyeisa bosembo elongo na masanzoli liboso ya bikolo nyonso.
For as the earth brings forth her bud, and as the garden causes the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations.
