Isaiah 46
1 Bel has been broken. Nebo has been crushed. Their idols have been placed upon beasts and cattle, your grievous heavy burdens, even unto exhaustion.
Tala banzambe ya Babiloni: Beli esili ngala, Nebo ekweyi; bikeko na yango etiami likolo ya banyama, likolo ya bibwele! Bikeko oyo bomemaka ezali kilo makasi, ezali mokumba oyo elembisaka banyama.
2 They have been melted down, or have been smashed together. They were not able to save the one who carried them, and their life will go into captivity.
Banzambe yango ya bikeko egumbami mpe ekweyi nzela moko, ezali na makoki te ya kobikisa mokumba na yango, pamba te ekeyi na bowumbu.
3 Listen to me, house of Jacob, all the remnant of the house of Israel, who are carried in my bosom, who were born from my womb.
Oh ndako ya Jakobi, boyoka Ngai, mpe bino nyonso, batikali ya libota ya Isalaele, bino oyo nandima kobatela wuta na libumu ya mama mpe nandima komema mokumba wuta mbotama na bino.
4 Even to your old age, I am the same. And even with your grey hairs, I will carry you. I have made you, and I will sustain you. I will carry you, and I will save you.
Ezala tango bokotonda na suki ya pembe mpe bokokoma mibange, Ngai nakobongwana te, nakosunga bino kaka; Ngai nde nasalaki bino, nakomema mokumba na bino, nakosunga bino mpe nakobikisa bino.
5 To whom would you liken me, or equate me, or compare me, or consider me to be similar?
Bolingi kokokanisa Ngai to kotia Ngai esika moko na nani? Bolingi solo kokokanisa Ngai na nani mpo ete amekana na Ngai?
6 You take gold from a bag, and you weigh silver on a scale, so as to hire a goldsmith to make a god. And they fall prostrate and adore.
Bazali bato oyo babimisaka wolo na mabenga na bango mpe bamekaka kilo ya palata na emekelo; bafutaka mosolo epai ya mosali bikeko na bibende mpo ete asalela bango nzambe ya ekeko ya wolo mpe ya palata, mpo ete bafukamela mpe bagumbamela yango.
7 They carry him on their shoulders, supporting him, and they set him in his place. And he will stand still and will not move from his place. But even when they will cry out to him, he will not hear. He will not save them from tribulation.
Batiaka yango na mapeka mpe bamemaka yango, batelemisaka yango na esika na yango mpe etikalaka ya kotelema kaka wana. Wuta na esika na yango, ekoningana te. Ata soki moto moko abeleli yango, ekoyanola te, ekobikisa ye te na tango ya pasi.
8 Remember this, and be confounded. Return, you transgressors, to the heart.
Bokanisa yango lisusu, mpo bososola malamu; bino batomboki, bozongisa yango lisusu na mitema na bino!
9 Remember the past ages. For I am God, and there is no other god. There is no one like me.
Bokanisa lisusu makambo ya liboso, makambo oyo ya kala penza; solo, Ngai nazali Nzambe, mpe mosusu azali te, nazali Nzambe, moko te akokani na Ngai.
10 From the beginning, I announce the last things, and from the start, the things that have not yet been done, saying: My plan will stand firm, and my entire will shall be done.
Nasakolaki makambo ya suka na ebandeli; wuta kala penza, nasakolaki makambo oyo ekoya. Nalobaki: « Mabongisi na Ngai ekolongisama, mpe nakosala nyonso oyo nasepeli kosala. »
11 I call a bird from the east, and from a far away land, the man of my will. And I have spoken it, and I will carry it out. I have created, and I will act.
Wuta na este, nabengi ndeke oyo eliaka misuni; longwa na mokili ya mosika, moto oyo akokokisa mabongisi na Ngai. Makambo oyo nalobaki, yango nde ekokokisama; oyo nabongisaki, yango nde ekosalema.
12 Hear me, you who are hard of heart, who are far from justice!
Boyoka Ngai, bino bato ya mitema makasi, bino bato oyo bozali mosika ya bosembo!
13 I have brought my justice near. It will not be far away, and my salvation will not be delayed. I will grant salvation in Zion, and my glory in Israel.
Bosembo na Ngai ekomi pene, ezali lisusu mosika te; mpe lobiko na Ngai ekowumela te. Nakopesa lobiko epai na Siona, mpe nkembo na Ngai, epai na Isalaele.
