Isaiah 18
1 Woe to the land shadowing with wings, which is beyond the rivers of Cush:
Mawa na mokili oyo ezali na bamasuwa oyo ezalaka na bavwale lokola mabanki, bongo enanaka na ebale ya Kushi!
2 That sendeth ambassadors by the sea, even in vessels of bulrushes upon the waters, saying, Go, ye swift messengers, to a nation scattered and stripped, to a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled!
Mawa na yo oyo otindaka bantoma na nzela ya ebale kati na bamasuwa oyo basala na papirisi, na likolo ya ebale monene! Bino bapanzi sango ya mbangu, bokende epai ya bato ya ekolo oyo bazalaka milayi mpe baposo ya nzoto na bango engengaka, epai ya bato ya ekolo oyo babangisaka na mosika, bato ya makasi oyo banyataka banguna na bango, mpe oyo bibale eleka kati na mokili na bango.
3 All ye inhabitants of the world, and dwellers on the earth, see ye, when he lifteth up an ensign on the mountains; and when he bloweth a trumpet, hear ye.
Bino nyonso, bavandi ya mokili, bino oyo botondisi mabele, tango bakotombola bendele na likolo ya bangomba, bokomona; tango bakobeta kelelo, bokoyoka!
4 For so the LORD said to me, I will take my rest, and I will consider in my dwelling place like a clear heat upon herbs, and like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na ngai: « Nakovanda kimia mpe nakotala wuta na ndako na Ngai, lokola kongala ya moyi to lokola mapata na tango ya molunge. »
5 For before the harvest, when the bud is perfect, and the sour grape is ripening in the flower, he shall both cut off the sprigs with pruning hooks, and take away and cut down the branches.
Mpo ete liboso ya kobuka bambuma, tango bafololo ya mike etikaka kobima mpe ekomaka bambuma mibesu oyo ekomi pene ya kotela, bakataka bitape na likwangola, babwakaka mpe batiaka pembeni bitape.
6 They shall be left together to the fowls of the mountains, and to the beasts of the earth: and the fowls shall summer upon them, and all the beasts of the earth shall winter upon them.
Bakosundola yango epai ya bandeke oyo eliaka misuni na likolo ya bangomba mpe epai ya banyama ya zamba. Bandeke minene ekolia yango na tango ya molunge mpe banyama ya zamba ekolia yango na tango ya malili.
7 In that time shall the present be brought to the LORD of hosts of a people scattered and stripped, and from a people terrible from their beginning to this time; a nation powerful and oppressive, whose land the rivers have spoiled, to the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, the mount Zion.
Na tango wana, bakomema bakado epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, wuta epai ya ekolo ya bato milayi oyo poso ya nzoto na bango engengaka, wuta epai ya ekolo ya bato oyo babangisaka na mosika, bato ya makasi oyo banyataka banguna na bango, mpe oyo bibale eleka kati na mokili na bango, bakomema bakado yango na ngomba Siona, esika oyo Kombo ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ezalaka.
