< Isaiah 2 >

1 The word that Isaiah the son of Amoz saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem.
Tala makambo oyo Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Amotsi, amonaki na tina na Yuda mpe Yelusalemi:
2 And it shall come to pass in the latter days, that the mountain of the LORD’S house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.
Na mikolo oyo ekoya, ngomba ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekolendisama ngwi na songe ya bangomba, ekoleka bangomba mikuse nyonso na molayi, mpe bikolo nyonso ekokende kotondana kuna.
3 And many peoples shall go and say, come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.
Bato ya bikolo ebele bakokende kuna mpe bakoloba: « Boya, tomata na ngomba ya Yawe, na Tempelo ya Nzambe ya Jakobi. Akoteya biso banzela na Ye mpo ete tolanda banzela mike na Ye. » Pamba te Mobeko ekowuta na Siona, mpe Liloba na Yawe ekowuta na Yelusalemi.
4 And he shall judge between the nations, and shall reprove many peoples: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more.
Akozala Mosambisi kati na bikolo, akokata makambo ya kowelana kati na bato ebele. Bakotumba mipanga na bango na moto mpo na kosala bakongo, mpe makonga na bango mpo na kosala bambeli. Ekolo moko te ekotombola lisusu mopanga mpo na kobundisa ekolo mosusu; bato bakoyekola lisusu te kobunda bitumba.
5 O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.
Oh ndako ya Jakobi, yaka, tika ete totambola na pole ya Yawe!
6 For thou hast forsaken thy people the house of Jacob, because they be filled [with customs] from the east, and [are] soothsayers like the Philistines, and they strike hands with the children of strangers.
Solo, osundolaki bato na Yo, libota ya Jakobi, mpo ete batondisami na bizaleli ya soloka oyo ewuti na Este; bazali kosalela maji lokola bato ya Filisitia, bazali kosala boyokani elongo na bapagano.
7 Their land also is full of silver and gold, neither is there any end of their treasures; their land also is full of horses, neither is there any end of their chariots.
Mokili na bango etondi na palata mpe wolo, bomengo na bango ezali na suka te. Mokili na bango etondi na bampunda mpe bakoki ata moke te kotanga bashar na bango ya bitumba.
8 Their land also is full of idols; they worship the work of their own hands, that which their own fingers have made.
Mokili na bango etondi na banzambe ya bikeko, bato bakomi kofukamela biloko oyo esalemi na maboko na bango, oyo misapi na bango esili kosala.
9 And the mean man is bowed down, and the great man is brought low; therefore forgive them not.
Yango wana, bato bakokitisa mito, mpe bato ya lokumu bakotonda na soni; kolimbisa bango te!
10 Enter into the rock, and hide thee in the dust, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty.
Kimela na madusu ya mabanga, bombama na putulu ya mabele liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye!
11 The lofty looks of man shall be brought low, and the haughtiness of men shall be bowed down, and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Na mokolo wana, moto ya lolendo akokitisa elongi, bato ya lofundu bakokitisama; Yawe kaka nde akonetolama.
12 For there shall be a day of the LORD of hosts upon all that is proud and haughty, and upon all that is lifted up; and it shall be brought low:
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abongisa mokolo moko mpo na kokitisa bato nyonso ya lolendo mpe ya lofundu, bato nyonso oyo bamimatisaka,
13 and upon all the cedars of Lebanon, that are high and lifted up, and upon all the oaks of Bashan;
banzete nyonso ya sedele ya Libani, oyo eleki na molayi mpe na kotombwama, mpe banzete nyonso ya sheni ya Bashani;
14 and upon all the high mountains, and upon all the hills that are lifted up;
bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe bangomba nyonso ya mikuse,
15 and upon every lofty tower, and upon every fenced wall;
bandako nyonso ya milayi, bamir nyonso ya milayi oyo batonga makasi;
16 and upon all the ships of Tarshish; and upon all pleasant imagery.
bamasuwa nyonso ya Tarsisi mpe bomengo na yango nyonso ya kitoko.
17 And the loftiness of man shall be bowed down, and the haughtiness of men shall be brought low: and the LORD alone shall be exalted in that day.
Lolendo ya moto ekosila mpe lofundu ya bato ekosuka; Yawe kaka nde akonetolama na mokolo wana.
18 And the idols shall utterly pass away.
Banzambe nyonso ya bikeko bakobebisama nye.
19 And men shall go into the caves of the rocks, and into the holes of the earth, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
Bato bakokimela na madusu ya mabanga mpe na putulu ya mabele liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye, tango akotelema mpo na koningisa mokili.
20 In that day a man shall cast away his idols of silver, and his idols of gold, which they made for him to worship, to the moles and to the bats;
Na mokolo wana, bato bakobwaka epai ya bampuku mpe bangembo banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya palata mpe banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya wolo, oyo basalaki mpo ete bafukamela bango.
21 to go into the caverns of the rocks, and into the clefts of the ragged rocks, from before the terror of the LORD, and from the glory of his majesty, when he ariseth to shake mightily the earth.
Bakokima na madusu ya mabanga mpe kati na mabanga liboso ya nguya ya kanda ya Yawe, liboso ya nkembo ya lokumu na Ye, tango akotelema mpo na koningisa mokili.
22 Cease ye from man, whose breath is in his nostrils: for wherein is he to be accounted of?
Botika kotia elikya na moto oyo bomoi na ye ezali lokola pema kati na zolo na ye. Motuya nini azali na yango?
