< Isaiah 61 >

1 The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me. He has sent me to bring good news to the meek, so as to heal the contrite of heart, to preach leniency to captives and release to the confined,
Molimo ya Nkolo Yawe azali likolo na ngai, pamba te Yawe apakoli ngai mafuta mpo na kosakola sango malamu epai ya babola, kobikisa bato oyo mitema na bango esili kozoka, kosakola bonsomi epai ya bawumbu mpe kobimisa bakangami na boloko;
2 and so to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord and the day of vindication of our God: to console all who are mourning,
mpo na kosakola mpo na Yawe mobu ya ngolu, kosakola mpo na Nzambe na biso mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, kobondisa bato oyo bazali kolela,
3 to take up the mourners of Zion and to give them a crown in place of ashes, an oil of joy in place of mourning, a cloak of praise in place of a spirit of grief. And there, they shall be called the strong ones of justice, the planting of the Lord, unto glorification.
komema epai na bato ya Siona, oyo bazali na matanga mitole na esika ya putulu, mafuta ya esengo na esika ya matanga, mpe kopesa elamba ya lokumu na esika ya molimo oyo etutami. Bakobengama terebente ya bosembo, elanga ya Yawe, mpo na komonisa nkembo na Ye.
4 And they will rebuild the deserted places of past ages, and they will raise up the ruins of antiquity, and they will repair the desolate cities, which had been dissipated for generation after generation.
Bakotonga lisusu bisika oyo ekoma mabanga-mabanga wuta kala, bisika oyo ebukana-bukana wuta na tango ya kala; bakokomisa sika bingumba oyo ekweya, oyo ebeba wuta bileko ya kala.
5 And foreigners will stand up and will pasture your flocks. And the sons of sojourners will be your farmers and the workers of your vineyards.
Bapaya bakoleisa bibwele na yo, bana ya bapaya bakosalela yo bilanga mpe bakolonela yo bilanga ya vino.
6 But you yourselves will be called the priests of the Lord. It will be said to you, “You are the ministers of our God.” You will eat from the strength of the Gentiles, and you will pride yourself on their glory.
Kasi bino, bokobengama Banganga-Nzambe ya Yawe, bakopesa bino kombo bawumbu ya Nzambe na biso; bokolia mpe bokotonda na bozwi ya bikolo mpe bokozwa lokumu na bomengo na bango.
7 Instead of your double confusion and shame, they will praise their portion. Because of this, they will possess double in their land. Everlasting joy will be for them.
Na esika ya soni na bino, bokozwa litomba mbala mibale, mpe na esika ya kosambwa, bokosepela na libula na bino. Boye, bokozwa litomba mbala mibale kati na mokili na bino mpe bokosepela mpo na libela.
8 For I am the Lord, who loves judgment and who holds hatred for robbery within a burnt offering. And I will turn their work into truth, and I will forge a perpetual covenant with them.
Pamba te Ngai Yawe, nalingaka bosembo, nayinaka moyibi mpe masumu; nakofuta bino na bolingo na Ngai mpe nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na bino.
9 And they will know their offspring among the nations, and their progeny in the midst of the peoples. All who see them will recognize them: that these are the offspring whom the Lord has blessed.
Bakitani na bino bakoyebana kati na mabota, mpe bana na bino bakoyebana kati na bikolo; moto nyonso oyo akomona bino akondima ete bozali bato oyo Yawe apamboli.
10 I will rejoice greatly in the Lord, and my soul will exult in my God. For he has clothed me with the vestments of salvation, and he has wrapped me in the clothing of justice, like a groom arrayed with a crown, and like a bride adorned with her jewels.
Nakosepela makasi kati na Yawe, molimo na ngai ekosepela kati na Nzambe na ngai, pamba te alatisi ngai bilamba ya lobiko mpe azipi ngai na elamba ya bosembo, ndenge mobandami ya mobali alataka motole na ye ya kitoko lokola Nganga-Nzambe to ndenge mobandami ya mwasi alataka mayaka na ye ya talo.
11 For as the earth brings forth its seedlings and the garden produces its seeds, so will the Lord God bring forth justice and praise in the sight of all the nations.
Pamba te ndenge mabele ebimisaka matiti mpe elanga ebimisaka nkona na yango, Nkolo Yawe mpe akoyeisa bosembo elongo na masanzoli liboso ya bikolo nyonso.
