Ezayi 7
1 Tango Akazi, mwana mobali ya Yotami, mwana mobali ya Oziasi, akomaki mokonzi ya Yuda, Retsini, mokonzi ya Siri, mpe Peka, mwana mobali ya Remalia, mokonzi ya Isalaele, bakendeki kobundisa Yelusalemi, kasi bakokaki kolonga yango te.
And it came to pass in the days of Ahaz the son of Jotham, the son of Uzziah, king of Judah, [that] Rezin the king of Syria, and Pekah the son of Remaliah, king of Israel, went up toward Jerusalem to war against it, but could not prevail against it.
2 Boye, bapesaki sango na ndako ya Davidi: « Bato ya Siri basali boyokani elongo na bato ya Efrayimi. » Motema ya Akazi mpe mitema ya bato na ye nyonso eninganaki makasi ndenge kaka banzete ya zamba eninganaka na tango ya mopepe.
And it was told the house of David, saying, Syria is confederate with Ephraim. And his heart was moved, and the heart of his people, as the trees of the wood are moved with the wind.
3 Boye, Yawe alobaki na Ezayi: « Kende, yo elongo na Sheari-Yashubi, mwana na yo ya mobali, kokutana na Akazi na suka ya nzela ya mayi oyo ekenda kino na liziba monene, na nzela ya bilanga ya moto oyo atiaka balangi na bilamba;
Then said the LORD unto Isaiah, Go forth now to meet Ahaz, thou, and Shear-jashub thy son, at the end of the conduit of the upper pool in the highway of the fuller’s field;
4 loba na ye: ‹ Kitisa motema, zala na kimia, kobanga te; tika ete motema na yo etungisama te mpo na bakoni mibale oyo ezali kopela: kanda makasi ya Retsini, moto ya Siri, mpe ya mwana mobali ya Remalia!
And say unto him, Take heed, and be quiet; fear not, neither be fainthearted for the two tails of these smoking firebrands, for the fierce anger of Rezin with Syria, and of the son of Remaliah.
5 Siri, Efrayimi mpe mwana mobali ya Remalia, basaleli yo likita mpo na kobebisa yo; bazali koloba:
Because Syria, Ephraim, and the son of Remaliah, have taken evil counsel against thee, saying,
6 ‘Tika ete tobundisa Yuda, tokata yango na biteni, tokabola yango biso na biso mpe totia mwana mobali ya Tabeli lokola mokonzi na yango.’
Let us go up against Judah, and vex it, and let us make a breach therein for us, and set a king in the midst of it, [even] the son of Tabeal:
7 Nzokande, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Ekotikala kosalema te, ekotikala kokokisama te!
Thus saith the Lord GOD, It shall not stand, neither shall it come to pass.
8 Pamba te moto ya Siri ezali Damasi, mpe moto ya Damasi ezali na yango kaka Retsini. Etikali kaka mibu tuku motoba na mitano, Efrayimi ekobebisama mpe ekozala lisusu na molongo ya mabota te.
For the head of Syria [is] Damascus, and the head of Damascus [is] Rezin; and within threescore and five years shall Ephraim be broken, that it be not a people.
9 Moto ya Efrayimi ezali Samari, mpe moto ya Samari ezali kaka mwana mobali ya Remalia. Soki botelemi ngwi te na kondima na bino, bokolonga te kotelema liboso na bango! › »
And the head of Ephraim [is] Samaria, and the head of Samaria [is] Remaliah’s son. If ye will not believe, surely ye shall not be established.
10 Yawe alobaki lisusu na Akazi:
Moreover the LORD spake again unto Ahaz, saying,
11 — Senga elembo moko epai na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ezala kati na mokili oyo eleki na bozindo to oyo eleki likolo. (Sheol h7585)
Ask thee a sign of the LORD thy God; ask it either in the depth, or in the height above. (Sheol h7585)
12 Kasi Akazi alobaki: — Nakosenga te, nakoki komeka Yawe te.
But Ahaz said, I will not ask, neither will I tempt the LORD.
13 Boye Ezayi alobaki: — Boyoka sik’oyo, bino libota ya Davidi! Ekoki kaka te mpo na bino kolembisa mitema ya bato? Boni, bolingi lisusu kolembisa motema ya Nzambe na ngai?
And he said, Hear ye now, O house of David; [Is it] a small thing for you to weary men, but will ye weary my God also?
14 Ye moko Nkolo akopesa bino elembo: moseka akokoma na zemi mpe akobota mwana mobali, akopesa Ye Kombo « Emanwele. »
Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign; Behold, a virgin shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel.
15 Mwana yango akomela kaka miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi kino tango akoyeba koboya mabe mpe kopona bolamu.
Butter and honey shall he eat, that he may know to refuse the evil, and choose the good.
16 Kasi liboso ete mwana yango ayeba koboya mabe mpe kopona bolamu, mikili ya bakonzi mibale oyo ozali kobanga ekobebisama.
For before the child shall know to refuse the evil, and choose the good, the land that thou abhorrest shall be forsaken of both her kings.
17 Yawe akoyeisela yo, bato na yo mpe libota ya tata na yo mikolo oyo etikala nanu kozala te wuta Efrayimi ekabwana na Yuda: ezali nde mokonzi ya Asiri.
The LORD shall bring upon thee, and upon thy people, and upon thy father’s house, days that have not come, from the day that Ephraim departed from Judah; [even] the king of Assyria.
18 Na mokolo wana, Yawe akobeta piololo mpo na kobenga nzinzi wuta na miluka ya Ejipito mpe banzoyi oyo ezalaka na mokili ya Asiri;
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] the LORD shall hiss for the fly that [is] in the uttermost part of the rivers of Egypt, and for the bee that [is] in the land of Assyria.
19 ekoya mpe ekovanda kati na mabwaku ya mozindo mpe na madusu ya mabanga, na banzete nyonso ya mike-mike mpe na matiti nyonso.
And they shall come, and shall rest all of them in the desolate valleys, and in the holes of the rocks, and upon all thorns, and upon all bushes.
20 Na mokolo wana, Yawe akosalela jileti oyo akodefa na ngambo mosusu ya Efrate, elingi koloba mokonzi ya Asiri, mpo na kokokola suki ya moto na yo, suki ya makolo na yo mpe mandefu na yo.
In the same day shall the Lord shave with a razor that is hired, [namely], by them beyond the river, by the king of Assyria, the head, and the hair of the feet: and it shall also consume the beard.
21 Na mokolo wana, moko na moko akobokola mwana ngombe ya mwasi mpe bameme to bantaba mibale ya basi.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] a man shall nourish a young cow, and two sheep;
22 Lokola bibwele wana ekopesaka miliki ebele, akolia manteka; mpe bato nyonso oyo bakotikala na mokili bakolia mafuta ya nzoyi.
And it shall come to pass, for the abundance of milk [that] they shall give he shall eat butter: for butter and honey shall every one eat that is left in the land.
23 Na mokolo wana, esika nyonso oyo ezalaki na banzete ya vino nkoto moko oyo ezalaki na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata, nkoto moko ekotonda na basende mpe na banzube.
And it shall come to pass in that day, [that] every place shall be, where there were a thousand vines at a thousand silverlings, it shall [even] be for briers and thorns.
24 Bato bakokota kuna na matolotolo mpe na bambanzi, pamba te mokili ekotonda na basende mpe na banzube.
With arrows and with bows shall [men] come thither; because all the land shall become briers and thorns.
25 Bato bakoleka lisusu te na bangambo nyonso oyo bazalaki kosala bilanga na kongo, pamba te bakokoma kobanga basende mpe banzube; ngombe ekokoma kolia kuna, mpe meme ekonyata-nyata mabele na yango.
And [on] all hills that shall be digged with the mattock, there shall not come thither the fear of briers and thorns: but it shall be for the sending forth of oxen, and for the treading of lesser cattle.
