Ezayi 33
1 Oh mobebisi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu obebisama te! Oh mofundi, mawa na yo, yo oyo nanu bafunda te! Tango okosilisa kobebisa, yo mpe bakobebisa yo, tango okosilisa kofunda, yo mpe bakofunda yo.
Woe to thee that spoylest, and wast not spoyled: and doest wickedly, and they did not wickedly against thee: when thou shalt cease to spoyle, thou shalt be spoyled: when thou shalt make an ende of doing wickedly, they shall doe wickedly against thee.
2 Oh Yawe, yokela biso mawa, tozali kotalela Yo! Tongo nyonso, zala makasi na biso, zala lobiko na biso na tango ya pasi!
O Lord, haue mercie vpon vs, wee haue waited for thee: be thou, which waste their arme in the morning, our helpe also in time of trouble.
3 Kaka na lokito ya mongongo na Yo, bato bakimaka; soki otelemi, bikolo epalanganaka.
At the noise of the tumult, the people fled: at thine exalting the nations were scattered.
4 Oh bikolo, bakolokota bomengo na bino ya bitumba ndenge balokotaka mankoko; bakosopanela yango na elulu ndenge mabanki esalaka.
And your spoyle shall be gathered like the gathering of caterpillers: and he shall go against him like the leaping of grashoppers.
5 Yawe anetolami mpo ete avandaka na likolo, akotondisa Siona na bosembo mpe na solo.
The Lord is exalted: for hee dwelleth on hie: he hath filled Zion with iudgement and iustice.
6 Mikolo ya bomoi na yo ekozala na kimia; bwanya mpe boyebi ekozala bomengo ya lobiko na yo; kotosa Yawe, yango nde bozwi na yo.
And there shall be stabilitie of thy times, strength, saluation, wisdome and knowledge: for the feare of the Lord shalbe his treasure.
7 Tala, basoda na bango ya mpiko bazali koganga makasi na balabala; bamemi sango ya kimia, azali kolela makasi.
Behold, their messengers shall cry without, and ye ambassadours of peace shall weepe bitterly.
8 Nzela ya minene esili kokawuka, ata moto moko te ya mobembo azali koleka. Mobebisi abuki boyokani, asambwisi bingumba mpe azali na botosi ya moto ata moko te.
The pathes are waste: the wayfaring man ceaseth: hee hath broken the couenant: hee hath contemned the cities: he regarded no man.
9 Mokili ezali na matanga, esili kolemba nzoto, Libani esambwe na soni mpe elembi-lembi lokola fololo, Saroni ekomi lokola esobe mpe Bashani mpe Karimeli ekweyisi makasa na yango.
The earth mourneth and fainteth: Lebanon is ashamed, and hewen downe: Sharon is like a wildernes, and Bashan is shaken and Carmel.
10 « Sik’oyo nakotelema, » elobi Yawe. « Sik’oyo nakonetolama, sik’oyo nakotombolama.
Now will I arise, saith the Lord: now will I be exalted, now will I lift vp my selfe.
11 Mabongisi ya mitema na bino ezali kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka mpe soki ekokisami, ezalaka kaka lokola matiti ya kokawuka, pema na bino moko ekozikisa bino lokola moto.
Ye shall conceiue chaffe, and bring forth stubble: the fire of your breath shall deuoure you.
12 Bato bakozika na libanga ya moto, ndenge nzube oyo bakata ezikaka na moto. »
And the people shall be as the burning of lime: and as the thornes cut vp, shall they be burnt in the fire.
13 Bino bato oyo bozali mosika, boyoka makambo oyo nazali kosala, bino bato oyo bozali pene, bososola nguya na ngai!
Heare, yee that are farre off, what I haue done, and ye that are neere, know my power.
14 Bato ya masumu bazali kolenga kati na Siona, somo ekangi bato oyo bayebi Nzambe te: « Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo ezikisaka? Nani kati na biso akoki kowumela elongo na moto oyo epelaka tango nyonso? »
The sinners in Zion are afraide: a feare is come vpon the hypocrites: who among vs shall dwel with the deuouring fire? who among vs shall dwell with the euerlasting burnings?
15 Moto oyo atambolaka na bosembo mpe alobaka solo, moto oyo abwakaka litomba oyo ezwami na nzela ya moyibi, moto oyo asembolaka maboko na ye te mpo na kozwa kanyaka, moto oyo akangaka matoyi na ye mpo na koboya koyoka masolo ya koboma bato, mpe oyo akangaka miso na ye mpo na koboya komona mabe.
Hee that walketh in iustice, and speaketh righteous things, refusing gaine of oppression, shaking his handes from taking of gifts, stopping his eares from hearing of blood, and shutting his eyes from seeing euill.
16 Moto wana akovanda na likolo: mabanga ya makasi ekozala ekimelo na ye. Akozanga te lipa ya kolia mpe mayi ya komela.
He shall dwell on hie: his defence shall be the munitions of rockes: bread shalbe giuen him, and his waters shalbe sure.
17 Miso na yo ekomona Mokonzi na kitoko na Ye nyonso mpe ekomona ndenge mokili ekenda kino na mosika.
Thine eyes shall see the King in his glory: they shall beholde the lande farre off.
18 Motema na yo ekokanisa lisusu somo oyo ozalaki koyoka: « Wapi mokonzi oyo azwaka mpako? Wapi moto oyo amekaka bakilo? Wapi moto oyo atalaka bandako na biso ya milayi? »
Thine heart shall meditate feare, Where is the scribe? where is the receiuer? where is hee that counted the towres?
19 Okomona lisusu bato ya lolendo te, bato oyo monoko na bango ezalaka pasi mpo na koyoka mpe maloba na bango, pasi mpo na kososola.
Thou shalt not see a fierce people, a people of a darke speache, that thou canst not perceiue, and of a stammering tongue that thou canst not vnderstande.
20 Tala Siona, engumba ya bafeti na biso ya minene, miso na yo ekomona Yelusalemi, ndako ya kimia, ndako ya kapo oyo ekopikama makasi; bakokoka kopikola makonzi na yango te, mpe basinga na yango ekokatana te.
Looke vpon Zion the citie of our solemne feastes: thine eyes shall see Ierusalem a quiet habitation, a Tabernacle that can not be remooued: and the stakes thereof can neuer be taken away, neither shall any of the cordes thereof be broken.
21 Kuna, Yawe akozala Elombe na biso. Ekozala etuka ya bibale minene mpe ya miluka. Masuwa moko te ekoya kuna, masuwa moko te ya lokumu ekoleka wana.
For surely there the mightie Lord will be vnto vs, as a place of floods and broade riuers, whereby shall passe no shippe with oares, neither shall great shippe passe thereby.
22 Pamba te Yawe azali Mosambisi na biso, Yawe azali Mosali mibeko na biso, Yawe azali Mokonzi na biso; Ye nde akobikisa biso.
For the Lord is our Iudge, the Lord is our lawe giuer: the Lord is our King, he will saue vs.
23 Basinga na yo esili kolemba, ezali lisusu te kosimba malamu nzete ya bendele; ezali lisusu te kofungola malamu vwale. Boye, na tango bakokabola ebele ya bomengo ya bitumba, bato ya tengu-tengu, bango moko penza, bakobotola eteni na bango ya bomengo.
Thy cordes are loosed: they could not well strengthen their maste, neither coulde they spread the saile: then shall the praye be deuided for a great spoile: yea, the lame shall take away the pray.
24 Movandi moke te ya Siona akoloba: « Nazali kobela! » Masumu ya bavandi ya kuna ekolimbisama.
And none inhabitant shall say, I am sicke: the people that dwell therein, shall haue their iniquitie forgiuen.
