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 am inquired of by those who didn’t ask. I am found by those who didn’t seek me. I said, ‘See me, see me,’ to 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 day to a rebellious people, who 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 who provoke me to my face continually, sacrificing in gardens, and burning incense on 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;
who sit among the graves, and spend nights in secret places; who eat pig’s meat, 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.
who say, ‘Stay by yourself, don’t come near to me, for I am holier than you.’ These are smoke in my nose, a fire that burns all 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, but will repay, yes, I will repay 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”, says the LORD, “who have burned incense on the mountains, and blasphemed me on the hills. Therefore I will first measure their work 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.
The LORD says, “As the new wine is found in the cluster, and one says, ‘Don’t destroy it, for a blessing is in it:’ so I will do for my servants’ sake, that I may not destroy them 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.
I will bring offspring out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my mountains. My chosen will inherit it, and my servants will 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.
Sharon will be a fold of flocks, and the valley of Achor a place for herds to lie down in, for my people who 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 you who forsake the LORD, who forget my holy mountain, who prepare a table for Fortune, and who fill up mixed wine to 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 you will all bow down to the slaughter; because when I called, you didn’t answer. When I spoke, you didn’t listen; but you did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I didn’t delight.”
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 the Lord GOD says, “Behold, my servants will eat, but you will be hungry; behold, my servants will drink, but you will be thirsty. Behold, my servants will rejoice, but you will be disappointed.
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 will sing for joy of heart, but you will cry for sorrow of heart, and will wail for anguish 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.
You will leave your name for a curse to my chosen, and the Lord GOD will kill you. He will 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 blesses himself in the earth will bless himself in the God of truth; and he who swears in the earth will swear by the God of truth; because the former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hidden from my 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 will 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 glad and rejoice forever in that which I create; for, behold, I create Jerusalem to be a delight, 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.
I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and delight in my people; and the voice of weeping and the voice of crying will be heard in her no more.
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.
“No more will there be an infant who only lives a few days, nor an old man who has not filled his days; for the child will die one hundred years old, and the sinner being one hundred years old will be accursed.
21 Bakotonga bandako mpe bakovanda kati na bandako yango, bakolona bilanga ya vino mpe bakolia bambuma na yango.
They will build houses and inhabit them. They will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.
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 will not build and another inhabit. They will not plant and another eat; for the days of my people will be like the days of a tree, and my chosen will 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 will not labor in vain nor give birth for calamity; for they are the offspring of the LORD’s blessed and their descendants with them.
24 Liboso ete babelela Ngai, nakoyanola bango; mpe wana basilisi nanu koloba te, nakoyoka bango.
It will happen 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 will feed together. The lion will eat straw like the ox. Dust will be the serpent’s food. They will not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain,” says the LORD.
