Ezayi 65
1 « Namimonisaki, Ngai moko, epai ya bato oyo bazalaki kotuna Ngai kutu toli te, namilakisaki epai ya bato oyo bazalaki koluka Ngai te. Epai ya ekolo oyo ezalaki kobelela Kombo na Ngai te, nalobaki: ‹ Ngai oyo, Ngai oyo! ›
I have bene sought of them that asked not: I was found of them that sought me not: I sayd, Beholde me, beholde me, vnto a nation that called not vpon my Name.
2 Mikolo nyonso, natandaki maboko na Ngai epai ya bato ya mito makasi, oyo balandaka nzela ya mabe, oyo batambolaka kolanda makanisi na bango;
I haue spred out mine handes all the day vnto a rebellious people, which walked in a way that was not good, euen after their owne imaginations:
3 bato oyo bapesaka Ngai kanda tango nyonso na nko, babonzaka mbeka kati na bilanga mpe babonzaka malasi ya ansa na bitumbelo basala na babiliki;
A people that prouoked me euer vnto my face: that sacrificeth in gardens, and burneth incense vpon brickes.
4 bato oyo bavandaka kati na bakunda mpe balekisaka babutu na bango kati na madusu ya mabanga; bato oyo baliaka misuni ya ngulu mpe basani na bango etonda na bilei ya mbindo;
Which remaine among the graues, and lodge in the desarts, which eate swines flesh, and the broth of things polluted are in their vessels.
5 bato oyo balobaka: ‹ Zala mosika na Ngai, kopusana pene na Ngai te, pamba te nazali bule makasi na miso na yo! › Bato ya lolenge oyo bazali lokola milinga na zolo na Ngai, lokola moto oyo epelaka mikolo nyonso.
Which say, Stand apart, come not neere to me: for I am holier then thou: these are a smoke in my wrath and a fire that burneth all the day.
6 Tala, etikali ya kokomama liboso na Ngai: nakovanda nye te kino nakozongisela bango mabe na bango; solo, nakozongisela bango penza mabe na bango koleka.
Beholde, it is written before me: I wil not keepe silence, but will render it and recompense it into their bosome.
7 Ezala mpo na masumu na bino to mpo na masumu ya batata na bino, » elobi Yawe, « pamba te babonzaki malasi ya ansa na likolo ya bangomba milayi mpe basambwisaki Ngai na likolo ya bangomba mikuse; solo penza, nakozongisela bango mabe, nakofuta bango kolanda misala na bango oyo eleka! »
Your iniquities and the iniquities of your fathers shalbe together (sayth the Lord) which haue burnt incense vpon the mountaines, and blasphemed me vpon the hilles: therefore wil I measure their olde worke into their bosome.
8 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ndenge kaka balobaka soki bamoni liboke ya bambuma kitoko ya vino: ‹ Kobebisa te, pamba te lipamboli moko ezali wana, › ndenge mpe kaka nakosala mpo na basali na Ngai: nakoboma bango nyonso te.
Thus sayth the Lord, As the wine is found in the cluster, and one sayth, Destroy it not, for a blessing is in it, so will I doe for my seruants sakes, that I may not destroy them whole.
9 Nakobimisa libota moko kati na Jakobi; mpe kati na Yuda, nakobimisa mokitani oyo akozwa bangomba na Ngai lokola libula; bato na Ngai, ba-oyo naponi bakokamata yango lokola libula, mpe bawumbu na Ngai nde bakovanda kuna.
But I will bring a seede out of Iaakob, and out of Iudah, that shall inherit my mountaine: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my seruants shall dwell there.
10 Etando ya Saroni ekokoma esika ya koleisa bibwele, mpe Lubwaku ya Akori ekokoma esika ya kopema mpo na bangombe. Nyonso wana ekosalema mpo na bato na Ngai, oyo balukaka Ngai.
And Sharon shalbe a sheepefolde, and the valley of Achor shalbe a resting place for the cattell of my people, that haue sought me.
11 Kasi mpo na bino bato oyo bosundoli Yawe mpe bobosani ngomba na Ngai ya bule, bino oyo botandaka mesa mpo na Gadi mpe botondisaka kopo ya vino mpo na Meni,
But ye are they that haue forsaken the Lord and forgotten mine holy Mountaine, and haue prepared a table for the multitude, and furnish the drinke offerings vnto the number.
12 nakobongisa bino ete bokufa na mopanga, mpe bino nyonso bokofukama mpo ete bakata bino bakingo, pamba te nabengaki, kasi boyanolaki te; nalobaki, kasi boyokaki te: bosalaki kaka makambo mabe na miso na Ngai mpe boponaki makambo oyo esepelisaka Ngai te. »
Therefore wil I number you to the sword, and all you shall bowe downe to the slaughter, because I called, and ye did not answere: I spake, and ye heard not, but did euil in my sight, and did chuse that thing which I would not.
13 Mpo na yango, Nkolo Yawe alobi: « Bawumbu na Ngai bakolia, kasi bino bokozala na nzala; bawumbu na Ngai bakomela, kasi bino bokotikala kaka na posa ya komela; bawumbu na Ngai bakosepela, kasi bino bokoyoka soni;
Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Beholde, my seruants shall eate, and ye shalbe hungrie: beholde, my seruants shall drinke, and ye shall be thirstie: beholde, my seruants shall reioyce, and ye shalbe ashamed.
14 bawumbu na Ngai bakoyemba na esengo, esengo oyo ekowuta solo na mitema na bango, kasi bino bokoganga mpo na pasi ya mitema na bino mpe bokolelalela mpo na milimo na bino oyo ebukani.
Beholde, my seruants shall sing for ioye of heart, and ye shall crye for sorow of heart, and shall howle for vexation of minde.
15 Bokotika kombo na bino epai ya baponami na Ngai lokola lisuma; Nkolo Yawe akoboma bino; kasi epai ya baponami na Ye, akopesa kombo mosusu.
And ye shall leaue your name as a curse vnto my chosen: for the Lord God shall slay you and call his seruants by another name.
16 Moto nyonso oyo akobelela lipamboli kati na mokili akosala bongo na Kombo ya Nzambe ya solo, mpe moto oyo akolapa ndayi kati na mokili, akolapa yango na Kombo ya Nzambe ya solo. Pamba te pasi ya kala ekomonana lisusu te, ekobombama na miso na Ngai.
He that shall blesse in the earth, shall blesse himselfe in the true God, and he that sweareth in the earth, shall sweare by the true God: for the former troubles are forgotten, and shall surely hide themselues from mine eyes.
17 Solo, nakokela likolo mpe mabele ya sika; makambo ya liboso, bakokanisa yango lisusu te, ekomata ata lisusu na motema te.
For lo, I will create newe heauens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembred nor come into minde.
18 Kasi bosepela mpe bozala tango nyonso na esengo mpo na misala oyo nakokela, pamba te nakokela Yelusalemi mpo ete ezala na esengo, mpe bato na yango basepela.
But be you glad and reioyce for euer in the things that I shall create: for beholde, I will create Ierusalem, as a reioycing and her people as a ioye,
19 Bongo nakosepela mpo na Yelusalemi mpe mpo na bato na Ngai; makelele ya kolela mpe ya koganga ekoyokana lisusu kuna te.
And I wil reioyce in Ierusalem, and ioye in my people, and the voyce of weeping shall be no more heard in her, nor the voyce of crying.
20 Kuna, ekozala lisusu na mwana moke te oyo akokufa na bomwana na ye to ekozala lisusu na mobange te oyo akotonda te na mikolo ya bomoi na ye; pamba te moto oyo akokufa elenge akozala na mibu nkama moko ya mbotama, mpe oyo akokokisa mibu wana te, akomonana lokola moto alakelami mabe.
There shall be no more there a childe of yeeres, nor an olde man that hath not filled his dayes: for he that shall be an hundreth yeeres old, shall dye as a yong man: but the sinner being an hundreth yeeres olde shall be accursed.
21 Bakotonga bandako mpe bakovanda kati na bandako yango, bakolona bilanga ya vino mpe bakolia bambuma na yango.
And they shall build houses and inhabite them, and they shall plant vineyards, and eate the fruite of them.
22 Bakotonga bandako te mpo ete bato mosusu bavanda kati na bandako yango, mpe bakolona bilanga te mpo ete bato mosusu balia bambuma na yango; pamba te mikolo ya mbotama ya bato na Ngai ekozala lokola mikolo ya nzete, mpe baponami na Ngai bakosepela na bambuma ya misala ya maboko na bango.
They shall not build, and another inhabite: they shall not plant, and another eate: for as the dayes of the tree are the dayes of my people, and mine elect shall inioye in olde age the worke of their handes.
23 Bakosala mosala na pamba te to bakobota bana te mpo ete bakufa; pamba te bakozala bato oyo bapambolama na Yawe, bango elongo na bana na bango.
They shall not labour in vaine, nor bring forth in feare: for they are the seede of the blessed of the Lord, and their buds with them.
24 Liboso ete babelela Ngai, nakoyanola bango; mpe wana basilisi nanu koloba te, nakoyoka bango.
Yea, before they call, I will answere, and whiles they speake, I will heare.
25 Mbwa ya zamba mpe mwana meme ekolia esika moko; mpe nkosi ekolia matiti lokola ngombe, kasi bilei ya nyoka ekozala nde putulu. Bakoyoka lisusu pasi te, mpe bakobebisama lisusu te na ngomba na Ngai ya bule, » elobi Yawe.
The wolfe and the lambe shall feede together, and the lyon shall eate strawe like the bullocke: and to the serpent dust shall be his meate. They shall no more hurt nor destroy in all mine holy Mountaine, saith the Lord.
