Ezayi 66
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ezali Kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi, mpe mabele ezali enyatelo makolo na Ngai. Ndako ya ndenge nini penza bokoki kotongela Ngai? Esika ya bopemi ya ndenge nini penza bokoki kobongisela Ngai?
Thus saith the Lord, The heauen is my throne, and the earth is my footestoole: where is that house that ye will builde vnto me? and where is that place of my rest?
2 Boni, loboko na Ngai te nde esalaki biloko oyo nyonso, mpe yango te nde ezalisaki yango nyonso? » elobi Yawe. « Tala moto oyo Ngai nakotala: moto ya mawa, oyo molimo na ye etutami, mpe oyo alengaka liboso ya liloba na Ngai.
For all these things hath mine hand made, and all these things haue bene, sayth the Lord: and to him will I looke, euen to him, that is poore, and of a contrite spirite and trembleth at my wordes.
3 Moto oyo atumbi mbeka ya ngombe azali lokola ye oyo abomi moto, moto oyo atumbi mbeka ya mwana meme azali lokola ye oyo abuki kingo ya mbwa, moto oyo apesi makabo ya mbuma azali lokola ye oyo abonzi makila ya ngulu, moto oyo atumbi ekaniseli ya malasi ya ansa azali lokola ye oyo apamboli nzambe ya ekeko. Solo, baponi kolanda banzela na bango moko mpe kosepela na makambo na bango ya nkele.
He that killeth a bullocke, is as if he slewe a man: he that sacrificeth a sheepe, as if he cut off a dogges necke: he that offereth an oblation, as if he offered swines blood: he that remembreth incense, as if he blessed an idole: yea, they haue chosen their owne wayes, and their soule deliteth in their abominations.
4 Boye, Ngai mpe nakotindela bango pasi mpe nakotindela bango pasi oyo babangaka. Pamba te tango nabelelaki, moto moko te ayanolaki; tango nalobaki, moto moko te ayokaki; kasi basalaki makambo mabe na miso na Ngai mpe baponaki makambo oyo esepelisaka Ngai te. »
Therefore will I chuse out their delusions, and I will bring their feare vpon them, because I called, and none woulde answere: I spake and they woulde not heare: but they did euill in my sight, and chose the things which I would not.
5 Boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bato oyo bolengaka liboso ya liloba na Ye: « Bandeko na bino oyo bayina bino mpe baboya bino likolo ya Kombo na Ngai balobi: ‹ Tika ete Yawe amonisa nkembo na Ye mpo ete tokoka komona esengo na bino! › Kasi bango nde bakosambwa solo.
Heare the worde of the Lord, all ye that tremble at his worde, Your brethren that hated you, and cast you out for my Names sake, said, Let the Lord be glorified: but he shall appeare to your ioy, and they shall be ashamed.
6 Boyoka makelele kobima longwa na engumba, boyoka makelele kobima longwa na Tempelo! Ezali nde mongongo na Yawe oyo azali kofuta banguna na Ye kolanda oyo ekoki na misala na bango.
A voyce soundeth from the citie, euen a voyce from the Temple, the voyce of the Lord, that recompenseth his enemies fully.
7 Liboso ete ayoka pasi ya kobota, abotaki; liboso ete pasi ya kobota ekomela ye, abotaki mwana mobali.
Before she trauailed, she brought foorth: and before her paine came, she was deliuered of a man childe.
8 Nani ayoka likambo ya boye? Nani amona makambo ya boye? Boni, mokili ekoki kobotama na mokolo moko to ekolo ekoki solo kosalema na mbala moko? Nzokande, kaka tango Siona ayoki pasi ya kobota, tala ye wana asili kobota bana na ye.
Who hath heard such a thing? who hath seene such things? shall ye earth be brought forth in one day? or shall a nation be borne at once? for assoone as Zion trauailed, she brought foorth her children.
9 Nakoki solo koyeisa pasi ya kobota mpe kozanga makoki ya kobotisa? » Elobi Yawe. « Nakoki solo kokanga mabota soki nazali kopesa mabota? » elobi Nzambe na yo.
Shall I cause to trauaile, and not bring forth? shall I cause to bring forth, and shall be baren, saith thy God?
10 « Bosepela elongo na Yelusalemi mpe botonda na esengo mpo na ye, bino nyonso oyo bolingaka ye; bosepela makasi elongo na ye, bino nyonso oyo bosalelaki ye matanga.
Reioyce ye with Ierusalem, and be gladde with her, all ye that loue her: reioyce for ioy with her, all ye that mourne for her,
11 Pamba te bokomela miliki mpe bokotonda mabele na ye, oyo ebondisaka; bokomela penza ndenge esengeli mpe bokozwa esengo kati na bomengo na ye. »
That ye may sucke and be satisfied with the brestes of her consolation: that ye may milke out and be delited with ye brightnes of her glorie.
12 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakosopela ye kimia lokola ebale, mpe bozwi ya bikolo lokola ebale na tango ya mpela; bokobatelama, bokomemama na maboko na ye mpe akobondela bino na mabolongo na ye.
For thus saith the Lord, Beholde, I will extend peace ouer her like a flood, and the glorie of the Gentiles like a flowing streame: then shall ye sucke, ye shall be borne vpon her sides, and be ioyfull vpon her knees.
13 Ndenge mama abondelaka mwana na ye, ndenge wana mpe Ngai nakobondela bino; mpe bokobondisama mpo na Yelusalemi. »
As one whom his mother comforteth, so will I comfort you, and ye shall be comforted in Ierusalem.
14 Tango bokomona yango, mitema na bino ekosepela mpe mikuwa na bino ekozwa makasi ya sika lokola matiti ya mobesu; loboko na Yawe ekoyebana kati na bawumbu na Ye mpe kanda na Ye ekokitela banguna na Ye.
And when ye see this, your hearts shall reioyce, and your bones shall flourish like an herbe: and the hand of the Lord shall be knowen among his seruants, and his indignation against his enemies.
15 Tala, Yawe azali koya na moto, mpe bashar na Ye ezali lokola mopepe ya kayina; akokitisa kanda na Ye na somo penza mpe akopamela na nzela ya moto.
For beholde, the Lord will come with fire, and his charets like a whirlewinde, that he may recompence his anger with wrath, and his indignation with the flame of fire.
16 Yawe akosambisa bato nyonso na nzela ya moto mpe ya mopanga; bongo, bato ebele bakokufa na mopanga, na maboko na Yawe.
For the Lord will iudge with fire, and with his sworde all flesh, and the slaine of the Lord shall be many.
17 « Bato oyo bamibulisaka mpe bamipetolaka mpo na kokende na bilanga mpe kolanda moto moko oyo azali na kati-kati ya bato oyo baliaka misuni ya bangulu, ya bampuku mpe biloko mosusu ya mbindo, bakokufa bango nyonso elongo, » elobi Yawe.
They that sanctifie themselues, and purifie themselues in the gardens behinde one tree in the middes eating swines flesh, and such abomination, euen the mouse, shall be consumed together, sayeth the Lord.
18 « Mpe Ngai, likolo ya misala mpe makanisi na bango, nakomi pene ya kosangisa bato ya bikolo mpe nkota nyonso; bongo bakoya mpo na komona nkembo na Ngai.
For I will visite their workes, and their imaginations: for it shall come that I will gather all nations, and tongues, and they shall come, and see my glorie.
19 Nakotia elembo kati na bango mpe nakotinda, wuta na bikolo, ndambo ya bato oyo bakobika: na Tarsisi, na Puli mpe na Ludi (bato oyo bayebi kosalela tolotolo malamu), na Tubali mpe na Yavani, na bisanga oyo ezalaka mosika, oyo etikala nanu koyoka sango na Ngai te mpe komona nkembo na Ngai te. Bakotatola nkembo na Ngai kati na bikolo.
And I will set a signe among them, and will send those that escape of them, vnto the nations of Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, and to them that drawe the bowe, to Tubal and Tauan, yles afarre off, that haue not heard my fame, neither haue seene my glorie, and they shall declare my glorie among the Gentiles.
20 Bakomema bandeko na bino nyonso wuta na bikolo nyonso, lokola likabo epai na Yawe, na ngomba na Ngai ya bule, na Yelusalemi, na likolo ya bampunda, ya bashar mpe ya bashareti oyo ekangama, ya mikongo ya bamile mpe ya bashamo, » elobi Yawe. « Bakomema bango ndenge bana ya Isalaele bamemaka makabo na bango ya bambuma, kati na basani ya bule, na Tempelo ya Yawe.
And they shall bring all your brethren for an offering vnto the Lord out of all nations, vpon horses, and in charets, and in horse litters, and vpon mules, and swift beastes, to Ierusalem mine holy Mountaine, saith the Lord, as the children of Israel, offer in a cleane vessell in the House of the Lord.
21 Mpe nakopona kati na bango, ndambo ya bato mpo ete bazala Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, » elobi Yawe.
And I will take of them for Priestes, and for Leuites, saith the Lord.
22 « Ndenge likolo mpe mabele ya sika oyo nasili kosala ekowumela liboso na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « ndenge wana mpe bakitani na bino mpe kombo na bino ekowumela.
For as the newe heauens, and the newe earth which I will make, shall remaine before me, saith the Lord, so shall your seede and your name continue.
23 Bato ya mokili mobimba bakoya kofukama liboso na Ngai, longwa na feti moko ya ebandeli ya sanza kino na feti mosusu, longwa na Saba moko kino na mosusu, » elobi Yawe,
And from moneth to moneth, and from Sabbath to Sabbath shall all flesh come to worship before me, saith the Lord.
24 « bakobima mpe bakomona bibembe ya bato oyo batombokelaki Ngai, pamba te bankusu na bango ekokufa te mpe moto na bango ekokufa te; bakopesa moto nyonso somo. »
And they shall goe forth, and looke vpon the carkases of the men that haue transgressed against me: for their worme shall not dye, neither shall their fire be quenched, and they shalbe an abhorring vnto all flesh.
