Ezayi 5
1 Nakoyemba loyembo mpo na molingami na ngai, loyembo ya molingami na ngai mpo na elanga na ye ya vino. Molingami na ngai azalaki na elanga moko ya vino kati na mabele kitoko oyo ezalaka na mopanzi ya ngomba;
Now will I sing to my well-beloved a song of my beloved concerning his vineyard. My well-beloved hath a vineyard in a very fruitful hill:
2 abalolaki mabele, alongolaki mabanga, mpe alonaki vino ya kitoko koleka; atongaki kuna ndako molayi ya bakengeli mpe atimolaki ekamolelo ya vino. Akanisaki ete akobuka bambuma ya vino ya kitoko, kasi ebotelaki ye bambuma ya mabe!
And he fenced it, and gathered out the stones of it, and planted it with the choicest vine, and built a tower in the midst of it, and also made a wine-press therein: and he expected that it would bring forth grapes, and it brought forth wild grapes.
3 Sik’oyo, bino bavandi ya Yelusalemi, bato ya Yuda, bokata makambo kati na ngai mpe elanga na ngai ya vino!
And now, O inhabitants of Jerusalem, and men of Judah, judge, I pray you, betwixt me and my vineyard.
4 Nasala penza eloko nini, mpo na elanga na ngai ya vino, oyo natikala nanu kosalela yango te? Mpo na nini eboteli ngai bambuma ya mabe, tango ngai nakanisaki ete ekobotela ngai bambuma ya malamu?
What more could have been done to my vineyard, that I have not done in it? Why, when I expected that it would bring forth grapes, brought it forth wild grapes?
5 Sik’oyo, nakoloba na bino makambo oyo nakosala na elanga na ngai ya vino: Nakokweyisa lopango na yango, mpe ekobebisama; nakotobola madusu kati na bamir na yango, mpe baleki nzela bakokoma konyata-nyata yango.
And now come; I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard: I will take away its hedge, and it shall be eaten up; [and] break down the wall of it, and it shall be trodden down:
6 Nakokomisa yango esobe: kati na yango, bakolongola lisusu te, ezala mabanga to matiti; bongo banzube mpe basende ekokola kuna. Nakopesa mitindo na mapata ete enokisela yango lisusu mvula te.
And I will lay it waste: it shall not be pruned, nor digged; but there shall come up briers and thorns: I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it.
7 Nzokande, elanga ya vino ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ezali nde libota ya Isalaele, mpe bato ya Yuda bazali elanga oyo ezalaki kosepelisa Ye. Azalaki kozela bosembo, kasi amonaki nde makila; makambo ya alima, kasi ayokaki nde kolela ya pasi.
For the vineyard of the LORD of hosts [is] the house of Israel, and the men of Judah his pleasant plant: and he looked for judgment, but behold oppression; for righteousness, but behold a cry.
8 Mawa na bino bato oyo bobakisaka ndako likolo ya ndako, elanga pembeni ya elanga, kino bokangaka bisika nyonso mpe botikalaka kaka bino moko na mokili!
Woe to them that join house to house, [that] lay field to field, till [there is] no place, that they may be placed alone in the midst of the earth!
9 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobaki na ngai: « Solo, bandako minene ekotikala pamba, bandako kitoko ekozanga bato ya kovanda kati na yango.
In my ears [said] the LORD of hosts, Of a truth many houses shall be desolate, [even] great and fair, without inhabitant.
10 Pamba te elanga ya vino ya ba-ekitare mibale ekobimisa kaka bisangala minei ya vino, bakilo nkama mibale na tuku mibale ya milona ya ble ekobimisa kaka bakilo tuku mibale na mibale. »
Yes, ten acres of vineyard shall yield one bath, and the seed of a homer shall yield an ephah.
11 Mawa na bato oyo balamukaka na tongo-tongo mpo na kowumela liboso ya masanga ya vino kino na butu, kino tango bakolangwa masanga!
Woe to them that rise early in the morning, [that] they may follow strong drink; that continue until night, [till] wine inflameth them!
12 Bazali na mandanda, banzenze, masanga ya vino, bambunda mike mpe baflite mpo na kosepelisa bafeti na bango, kasi bakanisaka te mosala na Yawe mpe bazalaka na limemia te mpo na misala ya maboko na Ye.
And the harp, and the viol, the tabret, and pipe, and wine, are in their feasts: but they regard not the work of the LORD, neither consider the operation of his hands.
13 Yango wana, bato na Ngai bakokende na bowumbu mpo na kozanga boyebi; bato na bango ya lokumu bakokufa na nzala, mpe bato pamba bakokufa na posa ya mayi.
Therefore my people have gone into captivity, because [they have] no knowledge: and their honorable men [are] famished, and their multitude dried up with thirst.
14 Boye, mboka ya bakufi ekoyoka nzala makasi mpe ekofungola monoko na yango makasi; bato ya lokumu elongo na bato pamba ya engumba bakokita kuna nzela moko mpe na loyenge na bango. (Sheol h7585)
Therefore hell hath enlarged herself, and opened her mouth without measure: and their glory, and their multitude, and their pomp, and he that rejoiceth, shall descend into it. (Sheol h7585)
15 Moto akokitisama, bato ya mokili bakoyokisama soni, mpe bilongi ya bato ya lolendo ekotala na se.
And the mean man shall be brought down, and the mighty man shall be humbled, and the eyes of the lofty shall be abased.
16 Kasi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akonetolama na nzela ya bosembo na Ye, mpe Nzambe Mosantu akolakisa bosantu na Ye na nzela ya boyengebene na Ye.
But the LORD of hosts shall be exalted in judgment, and God that is holy shall be sanctified in righteousness.
17 Bameme ekokoma kolia matiti lokola nde ezali kati na elanga na yango moko, bapaya bakozwa bomengo oyo bazwi bakotika.
Then shall the lambs feed after their manner, and the waste places of the fat ones shall strangers eat.
18 Mawa na bato oyo babendaka masumu na basinga ya makambo ya lokuta, mpe mabe lokola nde bazali kobenda shario na basheni!
Woe to them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart-rope:
19 Mawa na bato oyo balobaka: « Tika ete Nzambe asala noki, tika ete asala na lombangu mosala na Ye mpo ete tomona yango! Tika ete mabongisi ya Mosantu ya Isalaele ebelema mpe ekokisama mpo ete tokoka koyeba yango! »
That say, Let him make speed, [and] hasten his work, that we may see [it]: and let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel draw nigh and come, that we may know [it]!
20 Mawa na bato oyo babengaka mabe malamu mpe malamu mabe, oyo bamonaka molili lokola pole mpe pole lokola molili, oyo bamonaka bololo lokola elengi mpe elengi lokola bololo!
Woe to them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
21 Mawa na bato oyo bamimonaka lokola bato ya bwanya na miso na bango moko, mpe na bato oyo bamimonaka lokola bato ya mayele na miso na bango moko!
Woe to [them that are] wise in their own eyes, and prudent in their own sight!
22 Mawa na bato oyo bakenda sango ya komela vino mpe ya kosangisa masanga ya makasi:
Woe to [them that are] mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink:
23 bazwaka kanyaka mpo na kolongisa moto mabe mpe bazangisaka na moto ya sembo bosembo na ye!
Who justify the wicked for reward, and take away the righteousness of the righteous from him!
24 Yango wana, ndenge ndemo ya moto ezikisaka matiti, mpe ndenge matiti ya kokawuka esilaka na moto, ndenge wana mpe misisa na bango ekopola mpe bafololo na bango ekopumbwa lokola putulu, pamba te babwakaki Mobeko na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpe batiolaki liloba ya Mosantu ya Isalaele.
Therefore as the fire devoureth the stubble, and the flame consumeth the chaff, [so] their root shall be as rottenness, and their blossom shall go up as dust: because they have cast away the law of the LORD of hosts, and despised the word of the Holy One of Israel.
25 Yango wana, Yawe atombokeli bato na Ye, asemboli loboko na Ye mpe abeti bango; bangomba eningani, bibembe na bango etondi lokola bafulu na balabala. Kasi ata bongo, kanda na Ye ekiti kaka te, loboko na Ye etikali kaka ya kosembolama.
Therefore is the anger of the LORD kindled against his people, and he hath stretched forth his hand against them, and hath smitten them: and the hills trembled, and their carcasses [were] torn in the midst of the streets. For all this his anger is not turned away, but his hand [is] stretched out still.
26 Yawe atomboli bendele mpo na bikolo oyo ezali mosika, azali kobeta piololo mpo na kobenga bato oyo bazali na suka ya mokili: tala bango wana, bazali koya na lombangu mpe noki!
And he will lift up an ensign to the nations from afar, and will hiss to them from the end of the earth: and behold, they shall come with speed swiftly:
27 Moko te kati na bango asili kolemba nzoto to abeti libaku, moko te azali konimba to kolala pongi. Moko te alongoli mokaba na ye na loketo, singa moko te ya basapato na bango etikali kokatana.
None shall be weary nor stumble among them; none shall slumber nor sleep; neither shall the girdle of their loins be loosed, nor the latchet of their shoes be broken:
28 Bambanzi na bango ezali songe, batolotolo na bango nyonso ebendana makasi; makolo ya bampunda na bango ezali lokola mabanga, bapine ya bashar na bango ezali lokola mopepe makasi.
Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all their bows bent, their horses' hoofs shall be counted like flint, and their wheels like a whirlwind:
29 Koganga na bango ezali lokola koganga ya bankosi: bagangaka lokola bana nkosi, bagangaka soki bakangi nyama na bango, bamemaka yango na esika ya kimia, mpe moto moko te akokaka kobotola bango yango.
Their roaring [shall be] like a lion, they shall roar like young lions: yes, they shall roar, and lay hold of the prey, and shall carry [it] away safe, and none shall deliver [it].
30 Na mokolo wana, bakoganga likolo na bango lokola makelele ya ebale monene. Mpe soki moto atali kati na mokili, akomona molili mpe minyoko: pole ekozipama na se ya mapata.
And in that day they shall roar against them like the roaring of the sea: and if [one] looketh to the land, behold darkness [and] sorrow, and the light is darkened in its heavens.
