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 says the LORD, "Heaven is my throne, and earth is the footstool of my feet. Where then is the house you could build for me? And where then is the 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 has my hand made, and so all these things came to be," says the LORD: "but to this man will I look, to him who is humble and of a contrite spirit, and who trembles at my word.
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 who slaughters an ox is like one who strikes down a man; he who sacrifices a lamb, as he who breaks a dog's neck; he who offers an offering, as he who offers pig's blood; he who burns frankincense, as he who blesses an idol. Yes, they have chosen their own ways, and their soul delights 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. »
I also will choose their delusions, and will bring their fears on them; because when I called, no one answered; when I spoke, they did not listen; but they did that which was evil in my eyes, and chose that in which I did not delight."
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.
Hear the word of the LORD, you who tremble at his word: "Your brothers who hate you, who cast you out for my name's sake, have said, 'Let the LORD be glorified, that we may see your joy;' but it is those who shall be disappointed.
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 voice of tumult from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that renders recompense to his enemies.
7 Liboso ete ayoka pasi ya kobota, abotaki; liboso ete pasi ya kobota ekomela ye, abotaki mwana mobali.
"Before she travailed, she brought forth; before her pain came, she delivered a son.
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 has heard such a thing? Who has seen such things? Shall a land be born in one day? Shall a nation be brought forth at once? For as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth 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 bring to the birth, and not cause to bring forth?" says the LORD: "shall I who cause to bring forth shut the womb?" says your 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.
"Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad for her, all you who love her: rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn over 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 you may nurse and be satisfied at the comforting breasts; that you may drink deeply, and be delighted with the abundance of her glory."
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 says the LORD, "Look, I will extend peace to her like a river, and the glory of the nations like an overflowing stream: and you will nurse. You will be carried on her side, and will be dandled on 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 comforts, so will I comfort you; and you will be comforted in Jerusalem."
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.
You will see it, and your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish like the tender grass: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his servants; and he will have 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, look, the LORD will come with fire, and his chariots shall be like the whirlwind; to render his anger with fierceness, and his rebuke with flames 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 by fire will the LORD execute judgment, and by his sword, on all flesh; and the slain 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.
"Those who sanctify themselves and purify themselves to go to the gardens, behind one in the midst, eating pig's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse, they shall come to an end together," says 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 know their works and their thoughts. I am coming to gather all nations and languages; and they will come and see my glory.
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.
"I will set a sign among them, and I will send such as escape of them to the nations, to Tarshish, Pul, and Lud, who draw the bow, to Tubal and Javan, to the islands afar off, who have not heard my fame, neither have seen my glory; and they shall declare my glory among the nations.
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.
They shall bring all your brothers out of all the nations for an offering to the LORD, on horses, and in chariots, and in litters, and on mules, and on dromedaries, to my holy mountain Jerusalem, says the LORD, as the children of Israel bring their offering in a clean vessel into 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 also take some of them for myself as priests and Levites," says 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 new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before me," says the LORD, "so your descendants and your name shall remain.
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,
It shall happen, that from one new moon to another, and from one Sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before me," says 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. »
"They shall go forth, and look on the dead bodies of the men who have transgressed against me: for their worm shall not die, neither shall their fire be quenched; and they will be loathsome to all humankind."
