Ba-Ebre 1
1 Na tango ya kala, Nzambe azalaki koloba, mbala mingi mpe na lolenge ebele, epai ya bakoko na biso, na nzela ya basakoli.
God, having in the past spoken to the fathers through the prophets at many times and in various ways,
2 Kasi sik’oyo, na mikolo oyo ezali ya suka, Nzambe azali koloba na biso na nzela ya Mwana na Ye, oyo Ye moko Nzambe akomisaki Mokitani ya biloko nyonso. Ezali mpe na nzela na Ye nde Nzambe asalaki mokili. (aiōn g165)
has at the end of these days spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed heir of all things, through whom also he made the worlds. (aiōn g165)
3 Mwana yango amonisaka kongenga ya nkembo ya Nzambe, azali elilingi oyo etalisaka mobimba ya Nzambe mpe asimbi biloko nyonso na nguya ya Liloba na Ye. Sima na Ye kopetola masumu ya bato, avandi kati na Likolo, na ngambo ya loboko ya mobali ya Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso,
His Son is the radiance of his glory, the very image of his substance, and upholding all things by the word of his power, who, when he had by himself purified us of our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high,
4 mpe azwi esika ya lokumu penza koleka ba-anjelu mpo ete azwi Kombo oyo eleki bakombo ya ba-anjelu.
having become as much better than the angels as the more excellent name he has inherited is better than theirs.
5 Epai ya anjelu nini penza Nzambe aloba: « Ozali mwana na ngai; na mokolo ya lelo, nakomi Tata na yo? » To mpe: « Ngai nakozala Tata mpo na ye, mpe ye akozala mwana mpo na Ngai? »
For to which of the angels did he say at any time, “You are my Son. Today I have become your father?” and again, “I will be to him a Father, and he will be to me a Son?”
6 Mpe lisusu, tango Nzambe atindaki Mwana na Ye ya liboso kati na mokili, epai ya nani aloba: « Tika ete ba-anjelu nyonso ya Nzambe bagumbamelaka Yo? »
When he again brings in the firstborn into the world he says, “Let all the angels of God worship him.”
7 Nzokande, tala makambo oyo Nzambe aloba na tina na ba-anjelu: « Akomisaka ba-anjelu na Ye mipepe, mpe basali na Ye, ndemo ya moto. »
Of the angels he says, “He makes his angels winds, and his servants a flame of fire.”
8 Mpe tala makambo oyo aloba na tina na Mwana: « Oh Nzambe, Kiti ya Bokonzi na Yo ekowumela seko na seko, lingenda ya bokonzi na Yo ezali mpo na bosembo. (aiōn g165)
But of the Son he says, “Your throne, O God, is forever and ever. The scepter of uprightness is the scepter of your Kingdom. (aiōn g165)
9 Olingaka bosembo mpe oyinaka mabe; yango wana, oh Nzambe, Nzambe na Yo apakoli Yo mafuta ya esengo, asepeli na Yo koleka baninga na Yo! »
You have loved righteousness and hated iniquity; therefore God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of gladness above your fellows.”
10 Kaka na tina na mwana, alobaki lisusu: « Na ebandeli, oh Nkolo, Yo nde otiaki miboko ya mokili, mpe maboko na Yo nde esalaki Likolo.
And, “You, Lord, in the beginning, laid the foundation of the earth. The heavens are the works of your hands.
11 Nyonso wana ekobeba, ekonzuluka lokola elamba; kasi Yo, okotikala seko na seko.
They will perish, but you continue. They all will grow old like a garment does.
12 Okolinga yango lokola kazaka, mpe bakolongola yango lokola elamba mpo na kotia elamba mosusu. Kasi Yo, ozali ndenge moko, mibu na Yo ekotikala kosuka te! »
You will roll them up like a mantle, and they will be changed; but you are the same. Your years won’t fail.”
13 Mpe lisusu, epai ya anjelu nini Nzambe aloba: « Vanda na ngambo ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali kino nakomisa banguna na yo enyatelo makolo na yo? »
But which of the angels has he told at any time, “Sit at my right hand, until I make your enemies the footstool of your feet?”
14 Nzokande, ba-anjelu nyonso bazali milimo oyo esalaka mpo na Nzambe, mpe Nzambe atindaka bango kokokisa lotomo na bango mpo na bolamu ya bato oyo bakozwa lobiko.
Aren’t they all serving spirits, sent out to do service for the sake of those who will inherit salvation?
