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 Zions sake I will not holde my tongue, and for Ierusalems sake I wil not rest, vntil the righteousnes thereof breake foorth as the light, and saluation thereof as a burning lampe.
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 shall see thy righteousnesse, and all Kings thy glory: and thou shalt be called by a new name, which the mouth of the Lord shall name.
3 Okozala motole ya nkembo kati na loboko ya Yawe mpe ekoti ya bokonzi kati na loboko ya Nzambe na yo.
Thou shalt also be a crowne of glory in the hand of the Lord, and a royall diademe in the hand of thy 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.
It shall no more be sayd vnto thee, Forsaken, neither shall it be said any more to thy land, Desolate, but thou shalt be called Hephzi-bah, and thy land Beulah: for the Lord deliteth in thee, and thy land shall haue an husband.
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 as a yong man marieth a virgine, so shall thy sonnes marry thee: and as a bridegrome is glad of the bride, so shall thy God reioyce ouer thee.
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;
I haue set watchmen vpon thy walles, O Ierusalem, which all the day and all the night continually shall not cease: ye that are mindfull of the Lord, keepe not silence,
7 mpe botikela Ye te tango ya kopema kino tango akozongisa kimia na Yelusalemi mpe akokomisa yango mboka ya lokumu kati na mokili!
And giue him no rest, till hee repaire and vntill hee set vp Ierusalem the prayse of the worlde.
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 hath sworne by his right hand and by his strong arme, Surely I wil no more giue thy corne to be meate for thine enemies, and surely the sonnes of the strangers shall not drinke thy wine, for the which thou hast laboured.
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. »
But they that haue gathered it, shall eate it, and prayse the Lord, and the gatherers thereof shall drinke it in the courtes of my Sanctuarie.
10 Boleka, boleka na bikuke! Bobongisela bato nzela, bopasola nzela, bopasola nzela ya monene! Bolongola mabanga, botombola bendele liboso na bato ya bikolo.
Go through, go through the gates: prepare you the way for the people: cast vp, cast vp the way, and gather out the stones and set vp a standart 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. › »
Beholde, the Lord hath proclaimed vnto the endes of the world: tell the daughter Zion, Beholde, thy Sauiour commeth: beholde, his wages is with him, and his worke is before him.
12 Bakobenga bango Libota mosantu, basikolami na Yawe; mpe bakobenga yo Engumba oyo alingaka, engumba oyo basundola te.
And they shall call them, The holy people, the redeemed of the Lord, and thou shalt be named, A citie sought out and not forsaken.
