Ezayi 62
1 Mpo na likambo ya Siona, nakokanga monoko na Ngai te; mpo na likambo ya Yelusalemi, nakovanda kimia te, kino bosembo na ye emonana lokola kongenga ya pole, mpe lobiko na ye emonana lokola mwinda.
For the sake of Zion, I will not be silent, and for the sake of Jerusalem, I will not rest, until her Just One advances in splendor, and her Savior is kindled like a lamp.
2 Bongo bikolo ekomona bosembo na yo, mpe bakonzi nyonso bakomona nkembo na yo. Bakobenga yo na kombo ya sika oyo monoko na Yawe ekopesa.
And the Gentiles will see your Just One, and all the kings will see your Renowned One. And you shall be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord will choose.
3 Okozala motole ya nkembo kati na loboko ya Yawe mpe ekoti ya bokonzi kati na loboko ya Nzambe na yo.
And you shall be a crown of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
4 Bakobenga yo lisusu te Engumba basundola, bakobenga lisusu mokili na yo te Mokili ebeba; kasi bakobenga yo « Esengo ya Yawe, » mpe bakobenga mokili na yo « Mwasi ya libala, » pamba te Yawe akozwa esengo kati na yo, mpe mabele na yo ekozwa mobali ya libala.
You will no longer be called Forsaken. And your land will no longer be called Desolate. Instead, you shall be called My Will within it, and your land shall be called Inhabited. For the Lord has been well pleased with you, and your land will be inhabited.
5 Lokola elenge mobali abalaka moseka, bana na yo ya mibali mpe bakobala yo; lokola elenge mobali asepelaka na mobandami na ye ya mwasi, Nzambe na yo mpe akosepela na yo.
For the young man will live with the virgin, and your children will live with you. And the groom will rejoice over the bride, and your God will rejoice over you.
6 Oh Yelusalemi, natelemisi basenzeli na likolo ya bamir na yo; bakovanda nye te, ezala na moyi to na butu. Bino bato oyo bosalaka ete Yawe akanisa lisusu Yelusalemi, bovanda kimia te;
Upon your walls, O Jerusalem, I have stationed watchmen all day and all night unceasingly; they will not be silent. You who are mindful of the Lord, you should not be silent,
7 mpe botikela Ye te tango ya kopema kino tango akozongisa kimia na Yelusalemi mpe akokomisa yango mboka ya lokumu kati na mokili!
and you should not grant silence to him, until he makes firm and establishes Jerusalem as a praise upon the earth.
8 Yawe atomboli loboko na Ye ya mobali, loboko na Ye ya nguya, mpe alapi ndayi: « Nakopesa lisusu ble na yo te lokola bilei epai ya banguna na yo; bapaya bakomela lisusu te vino na yo ya sika oyo omonelaki pasi;
The Lord has sworn with his right hand and with the arm of his strength: “Certainly, I will no longer permit your grain to be the food of your enemies. And the sons of foreigners will not drink your wine, for which you have labored.”
9 kasi bato oyo bakobuka ble bakolia yango mpe bakokumisa Yawe, mpe ba-oyo bakokamola vino bakomela yango kati na lopango ya Esika na Ngai ya bule. »
For those who gather it will eat it, and they will praise the Lord. And those who bring it together will drink it in my holy courts.
10 Boleka, boleka na bikuke! Bobongisela bato nzela, bopasola nzela, bopasola nzela ya monene! Bolongola mabanga, botombola bendele liboso na bato ya bikolo.
Pass through, pass through the gates! Prepare a way for the people! Make the road level, remove the stones, and lift up a sign for the people!
11 Tala makambo oyo Yawe atatoli kino na basuka ya mabele: « Boloba na Siona, mboka kitoko: ‹ Tala, Mobikisi na yo azali koya! Tala, lifuti na ye ezali elongo na ye, mpe azali kotambola elongo na litomba na ye. › »
Behold, the Lord has caused it to be heard to the ends of the earth. Tell the daughter of Zion: “Behold, your Savior approaches! Behold, his reward is with him, and his work before him.”
12 Bakobenga bango Libota mosantu, basikolami na Yawe; mpe bakobenga yo Engumba oyo alingaka, engumba oyo basundola te.
And they will call them: The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord. Then you will be called: A city sought, and not forsaken.
