Ezayi 65
1 « Namimonisaki, Ngai moko, epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kotuna Ngai kutu toli te, namilakisaki epai ya bato oyo bazalaki koluka Ngai te. Epai ya ekolo oyo ezalaki kobelela Kombo na Ngai te, nalobaki: ‹ Ngai oyo, Ngai oyo! ›
I gave access to them that asked not for Me, I was at hand to them that sought Me not; I said: 'Behold Me, behold Me', unto a nation that was not called by My name.
2 Mikolo nyonso, natandaki maboko na Ngai epai ya bato ya mito makasi, oyo balandaka nzela ya mabe, oyo batambolaka kolanda makanisi na bango;
I have spread out My hands all the day unto a rebellious people, that walk in a way that is not good, after their own thoughts;
3 bato oyo bapesaka Ngai kanda tango nyonso na nko, babonzaka mbeka kati na bilanga mpe babonzaka malasi ya ansa na bitumbelo basala na babiliki;
A people that provoke Me to My face continually, that sacrifice in gardens, and burn incense upon bricks;
4 bato oyo bavandaka kati na bakunda mpe balekisaka babutu na bango kati na madusu ya mabanga; bato oyo baliaka misuni ya ngulu mpe basani na bango etonda na bilei ya mbindo;
That sit among the graves, and lodge in the vaults; that eat swine's flesh, and broth of abominable things is in their vessels;
5 bato oyo balobaka: ‹ Zala mosika na Ngai, kopusana pene na Ngai te, pamba te nazali bule makasi na miso na yo! › Bato ya lolenge oyo bazali lokola milinga na zolo na Ngai, lokola moto oyo epelaka mikolo nyonso.
That say: 'Stand by thyself, come not near to me, for I am holier than thou'; these are a smoke in My nose, a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Tala, etikali ya kokomama liboso na Ngai: nakovanda nye te kino nakozongisela bango mabe na bango; solo, nakozongisela bango penza mabe na bango koleka.
Behold, it is written before Me; I will not keep silence, except I have requited, yea, I will requite into their bosom,
7 Ezala mpo na masumu na bino to mpo na masumu ya batata na bino, » elobi Yawe, « pamba te babonzaki malasi ya ansa na likolo ya bangomba milayi mpe basambwisaki Ngai na likolo ya bangomba mikuse; solo penza, nakozongisela bango mabe, nakofuta bango kolanda misala na bango oyo eleka! »
Your own iniquities, and the iniquities of your fathers together, saith the LORD, that have offered upon the mountains, and blasphemed Me upon the hills; therefore will I first measure their wage into their bosom.
8 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ndenge kaka balobaka soki bamoni liboke ya bambuma kitoko ya vino: ‹ Kobebisa te, pamba te lipamboli moko ezali wana, › ndenge mpe kaka nakosala mpo na basali na Ngai: nakoboma bango nyonso te.
Thus saith the LORD: As, when wine is found in the cluster, one saith: 'Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it'; so will I do for My servants' sakes, that I may not destroy all.
9 Nakobimisa libota moko kati na Jakobi; mpe kati na Yuda, nakobimisa mokitani oyo akozwa bangomba na Ngai lokola libula; bato na Ngai, ba-oyo naponi bakokamata yango lokola libula, mpe bawumbu na Ngai nde bakovanda kuna.
And I will bring forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of My mountains; and Mine elect shall inherit it, and My servants shall dwell there.
10 Etando ya Saroni ekokoma esika ya koleisa bibwele, mpe Lubwaku ya Akori ekokoma esika ya kopema mpo na bangombe. Nyonso wana ekosalema mpo na bato na Ngai, oyo balukaka Ngai.
And Sharon shall be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for My people that have sought Me;
11 Kasi mpo na bino bato oyo bosundoli Yawe mpe bobosani ngomba na Ngai ya bule, bino oyo botandaka mesa mpo na Gadi mpe botondisaka kopo ya vino mpo na Meni,
But ye that forsake the LORD, that forget My holy mountain, that prepare a table for Fortune, and that offer mingled wine in full measure unto Destiny,
12 nakobongisa bino ete bokufa na mopanga, mpe bino nyonso bokofukama mpo ete bakata bino bakingo, pamba te nabengaki, kasi boyanolaki te; nalobaki, kasi boyokaki te: bosalaki kaka makambo mabe na miso na Ngai mpe boponaki makambo oyo esepelisaka Ngai te. »
I will destine you to the sword, and ye shall all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, ye did not answer, when I spoke, ye did not hear; but ye did that which was evil in Mine eyes, and chose that wherein I delighted not.
13 Mpo na yango, Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Bawumbu na Ngai bakolia, kasi bino bokozala na nzala; bawumbu na Ngai bakomela, kasi bino bokotikala kaka na posa ya komela; bawumbu na Ngai bakosepela, kasi bino bokoyoka soni;
Therefore thus saith the Lord GOD: Behold, My servants shall eat, but ye shall be hungry; Behold, My servants shall drink, but ye shall be thirsty; Behold, My servants shall rejoice, but ye shall be ashamed;
14 bawumbu na Ngai bakoyemba na esengo, esengo oyo ekowuta solo na mitema na bango, kasi bino bokoganga mpo na pasi ya mitema na bino mpe bokolelalela mpo na milimo na bino oyo ebukani.
Behold, My servants shall sing for joy of heart, but ye shall cry for sorrow of heart, and shall wail for vexation of spirit.
15 Bokotika kombo na bino epai ya baponami na Ngai lokola lisuma; Nkolo Yawe akoboma bino; kasi epai ya baponami na Ye, akopesa kombo mosusu.
And ye shall leave your name for a curse unto Mine elect: 'So may the Lord GOD slay thee'; but He shall call His servants by another name;
16 Moto nyonso oyo akobelela lipamboli kati na mokili akosala bongo na Kombo ya Nzambe ya solo, mpe moto oyo akolapa ndayi kati na mokili, akolapa yango na Kombo ya Nzambe ya solo. Pamba te pasi ya kala ekomonana lisusu te, ekobombama na miso na Ngai.
So that he who blesseth himself in the earth shall bless himself by the God of truth; and he that sweareth in the earth shall swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from Mine eyes.
17 Solo, nakokela likolo mpe mabele ya sika; makambo ya liboso, bakokanisa yango lisusu te, ekomata ata lisusu na motema te.
For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth; and the former things shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.
18 Kasi bosepela mpe bozala tango nyonso na esengo mpo na misala oyo nakokela, pamba te nakokela Yelusalemi mpo ete ezala na esengo, mpe bato na yango basepela.
But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem a rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19 Bongo nakosepela mpo na Yelusalemi mpe mpo na bato na Ngai; makelele ya kolela mpe ya koganga ekoyokana lisusu kuna te.
And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in My people; and the voice of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.
20 Kuna, ekozala lisusu na mwana moke te oyo akokufa na bomwana na ye to ekozala lisusu na mobange te oyo akotonda te na mikolo ya bomoi na ye; pamba te moto oyo akokufa elenge akozala na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama, mpe oyo akokokisa mibu wana te, akomonana lokola moto alakelami mabe.
There shall be no more thence an infant of days, nor an old man, that hath not filled his days; for the youngest shall die a hundred years old, and the sinner being a hundred years old shall be accursed.
21 Bakotonga bandako mpe bakovanda kati na bandako yango, bakolona bilanga ya vino mpe bakolia bambuma na yango.
And they shall build houses, and inhabit them; and they shall plant vineyards, and eat the fruit of them.
22 Bakotonga bandako te mpo ete bato mosusu bavanda kati na bandako yango, mpe bakolona bilanga te mpo ete bato mosusu balia bambuma na yango; pamba te mikolo ya mbotama ya bato na Ngai ekozala lokola mikolo ya nzete, mpe baponami na Ngai bakosepela na bambuma ya misala ya maboko na bango.
They shall not build, and another inhabit, they shall not plant, and another eat; for as the days of a tree shall be the days of My people, and Mine elect shall long enjoy the work of their hands.
23 Bakosala mosala na pamba te to bakobota bana te mpo ete bakufa; pamba te bakozala bato oyo bapambolama na Yawe, bango elongo na bana na bango.
They shall not labour in vain, nor bring forth for terror; for they are the seed blessed of the LORD, and their offspring with them.
24 Liboso ete babelela Ngai, nakoyanola bango; mpe wana basilisi nanu koloba te, nakoyoka bango.
And it shall come to pass that, before they call, I will answer, and while they are yet speaking, I will hear.
25 Mbwa ya zamba mpe mwana meme ekolia esika moko; mpe nkosi ekolia matiti lokola ngombe, kasi bilei ya nyoka ekozala nde putulu. Bakoyoka lisusu pasi te, mpe bakobebisama lisusu te na ngomba na Ngai ya bule, » elobi Yawe.
The wolf and the lamb shall feed together, and the lion shall eat straw like the ox; and dust shall be the serpent's food. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all My holy mountain, saith the LORD.
