Isaiah 5
1 Let me sing, I pray you, for my beloved, A song of my beloved as to his vineyard: My beloved hath a vineyard in a fruitful hill,
Nakoyemba loyembo mpo na molingami na ngai, loyembo ya molingami na ngai mpo na elanga na ye ya vino. Molingami na ngai azalaki na elanga moko ya vino kati na mabele kitoko oyo ezalaka na mopanzi ya ngomba;
2 And he fenceth it, and casteth out its stones, And planteth it [with] a choice vine, And buildeth a tower in its midst, And also a wine press hath hewn out in it, And he waiteth for the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
abalolaki mabele, alongolaki mabanga, mpe alonaki vino ya kitoko koleka; atongaki kuna ndako molayi ya bakengeli mpe atimolaki ekamolelo ya vino. Akanisaki ete akobuka bambuma ya vino ya kitoko, kasi ebotelaki ye bambuma ya mabe!
3 And now, O inhabitant of Jerusalem, and man of Judah, Judge, I pray you, between me and my vineyard.
Sik’oyo, bino bavandi ya Yelusalemi, bato ya Yuda, bokata makambo kati na ngai mpe elanga na ngai ya vino!
4 What — to do still to my vineyard, That I have not done in it! Wherefore, I waited to the yielding of grapes, And it yieldeth bad ones!
Nasala penza eloko nini, mpo na elanga na ngai ya vino, oyo natikala nanu kosalela yango te? Mpo na nini eboteli ngai bambuma ya mabe, tango ngai nakanisaki ete ekobotela ngai bambuma ya malamu?
5 And now, pray, let me cause you to know, That which I am doing to my vineyard, To turn aside its hedge, And it hath been for consumption, To break down its wall, And it hath been for a treading-place.
Sik’oyo, nakoloba na bino makambo oyo nakosala na elanga na ngai ya vino: Nakokweyisa lopango na yango, mpe ekobebisama; nakotobola madusu kati na bamir na yango, mpe baleki nzela bakokoma konyata-nyata yango.
6 And I make it a waste, It is not pruned, nor arranged, And gone up have brier and thorn, And on the thick clouds I lay a charge, From raining upon it rain.
Nakokomisa yango esobe: kati na yango, bakolongola lisusu te, ezala mabanga to matiti; bongo banzube mpe basende ekokola kuna. Nakopesa mitindo na mapata ete enokisela yango lisusu mvula te.
7 Because the vineyard of Jehovah of Hosts [Is] the house of Israel, And the man of Judah His pleasant plant, And He waiteth for judgment, and lo, oppression, For righteousness, and lo, a cry.
Nzokande, elanga ya vino ya Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ezali nde libota ya Isalaele, mpe bato ya Yuda bazali elanga oyo ezalaki kosepelisa Ye. Azalaki kozela bosembo, kasi amonaki nde makila; makambo ya alima, kasi ayokaki nde kolela ya pasi.
8 Woe [to] those joining house to house, Field to field they bring near, till there is no place, And ye have been settled by yourselves In the midst of the land!
Mawa na bino bato oyo bobakisaka ndako likolo ya ndako, elanga pembeni ya elanga, kino bokangaka bisika nyonso mpe botikalaka kaka bino moko na mokili!
9 By the weapons of Jehovah of Hosts Do not many houses a desolation become? Great and good without inhabitant!
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobaki na ngai: « Solo, bandako minene ekotikala pamba, bandako kitoko ekozanga bato ya kovanda kati na yango.
10 For ten acres of vineyard do yield one bath, And an homer of seed yieldeth an ephah.
Pamba te elanga ya vino ya ba-ekitare mibale ekobimisa kaka bisangala minei ya vino, bakilo nkama mibale na tuku mibale ya milona ya ble ekobimisa kaka bakilo tuku mibale na mibale. »
11 Woe [to] those rising early in the morning, Strong drink they pursue! Tarrying in twilight, wine inflameth them!
Mawa na bato oyo balamukaka na tongo-tongo mpo na kowumela liboso ya masanga ya vino kino na butu, kino tango bakolangwa masanga!
12 And harp, and psaltery, tabret, and pipe, And wine, have been their banquets, And the work of Jehovah they behold not, Yea, the work of His hands they have not seen.
Bazali na mandanda, banzenze, masanga ya vino, bambunda mike mpe baflite mpo na kosepelisa bafeti na bango, kasi bakanisaka te mosala na Yawe mpe bazalaka na limemia te mpo na misala ya maboko na Ye.
13 Therefore my people removed without knowledge, And its honourable ones are famished, And its multitude dried up of thirst.
Yango wana, bato na Ngai bakokende na bowumbu mpo na kozanga boyebi; bato na bango ya lokumu bakokufa na nzala, mpe bato pamba bakokufa na posa ya mayi.
14 Therefore hath Sheol enlarged herself, And hath opened her mouth without limit. And gone down hath its honour, and its multitude, And its noise, and its exulting one — into her. (Sheol h7585)
Boye, mboka ya bakufi ekoyoka nzala makasi mpe ekofungola monoko na yango makasi; bato ya lokumu elongo na bato pamba ya engumba bakokita kuna nzela moko mpe na loyenge na bango. (Sheol h7585)
15 And bowed down is the low, and humbled the high, And the eyes of the haughty become low,
Moto akokitisama, bato ya mokili bakoyokisama soni, mpe bilongi ya bato ya lolendo ekotala na se.
16 And Jehovah of Hosts is high in judgment, And the Holy God sanctified in righteousness,
Kasi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, akonetolama na nzela ya bosembo na Ye, mpe Nzambe Mosantu akolakisa bosantu na Ye na nzela ya boyengebene na Ye.
17 And fed have lambs according to their leading, And waste places of the fat ones Do sojourners consume.
Bameme ekokoma kolia matiti lokola nde ezali kati na elanga na yango moko, bapaya bakozwa bomengo oyo bazwi bakotika.
18 Woe [to] those drawing out iniquity with cords of vanity, And as [with] thick ropes of the cart — sin.
Mawa na bato oyo babendaka masumu na basinga ya makambo ya lokuta, mpe mabe lokola nde bazali kobenda shario na basheni!
19 Who are saying, 'Let Him hurry, Let Him hasten His work, that we may see, And let the counsel of the Holy One of Israel Draw near and come, and we know.'
Mawa na bato oyo balobaka: « Tika ete Nzambe asala noki, tika ete asala na lombangu mosala na Ye mpo ete tomona yango! Tika ete mabongisi ya Mosantu ya Isalaele ebelema mpe ekokisama mpo ete tokoka koyeba yango! »
20 Woe [to] those saying to evil 'good,' And to good 'evil,' Putting darkness for light, and light for darkness, Putting bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter.
Mawa na bato oyo babengaka mabe malamu mpe malamu mabe, oyo bamonaka molili lokola pole mpe pole lokola molili, oyo bamonaka bololo lokola elengi mpe elengi lokola bololo!
21 Woe [to] the wise in their own eyes, And — before their own faces — intelligent!
Mawa na bato oyo bamimonaka lokola bato ya bwanya na miso na bango moko, mpe na bato oyo bamimonaka lokola bato ya mayele na miso na bango moko!
22 Woe [to] the mighty to drink wine, And men of strength to mingle strong drink.
Mawa na bato oyo bakenda sango ya komela vino mpe ya kosangisa masanga ya makasi:
23 Declaring righteous the wicked for a bribe, And the righteousness of the righteous They turn aside from him.
bazwaka kanyaka mpo na kolongisa moto mabe mpe bazangisaka na moto ya sembo bosembo na ye!
24 Therefore, as a tongue of fire devoureth stubble, And flaming hay falleth, Their root is as muck, And their flower as dust goeth up. Because they have rejected the law of Jehovah of Hosts, And the saying of the Holy One of Israel despised.
Yango wana, ndenge ndemo ya moto ezikisaka matiti, mpe ndenge matiti ya kokawuka esilaka na moto, ndenge wana mpe misisa na bango ekopola mpe bafololo na bango ekopumbwa lokola putulu, pamba te babwakaki Mobeko na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpe batiolaki liloba ya Mosantu ya Isalaele.
25 Therefore hath the anger of Jehovah burned among His people, And He stretcheth out His hand against it, And smiteth it, and the mountains tremble, And their carcase is as filth in the midst of the out-places. With all this His anger did not turn back, And still His hand is stretched out!
Yango wana, Yawe atombokeli bato na Ye, asemboli loboko na Ye mpe abeti bango; bangomba eningani, bibembe na bango etondi lokola bafulu na balabala. Kasi ata bongo, kanda na Ye ekiti kaka te, loboko na Ye etikali kaka ya kosembolama.
26 And He lifted up an ensign to nations afar off, And hissed to it from the end of the earth, And lo, with haste, swift it cometh.
Yawe atomboli bendele mpo na bikolo oyo ezali mosika, azali kobeta piololo mpo na kobenga bato oyo bazali na suka ya mokili: tala bango wana, bazali koya na lombangu mpe noki!
27 There is none weary, nor stumbling in it, It doth not slumber, nor sleep, Nor opened hath been the girdle of its loins, Nor drawn away the latchet of its sandals.
Moko te kati na bango asili kolemba nzoto to abeti libaku, moko te azali konimba to kolala pongi. Moko te alongoli mokaba na ye na loketo, singa moko te ya basapato na bango etikali kokatana.
28 Whose arrows [are] sharp, and all its bows bent, Hoofs of its horses as flint have been reckoned, And its wheels as a hurricane!
Bambanzi na bango ezali songe, batolotolo na bango nyonso ebendana makasi; makolo ya bampunda na bango ezali lokola mabanga, bapine ya bashar na bango ezali lokola mopepe makasi.
29 Its roaring [is] like a lioness, It roareth like young lions, And it howleth, and seizeth prey, And carrieth away safely, and there is none delivering.
Koganga na bango ezali lokola koganga ya bankosi: bagangaka lokola bana nkosi, bagangaka soki bakangi nyama na bango, bamemaka yango na esika ya kimia, mpe moto moko te akokaka kobotola bango yango.
30 And it howleth against it in that day as the howling of a sea, And it hath looked attentively to the land, And lo, darkness — distress, And light hath been darkened by its abundance!
Na mokolo wana, bakoganga likolo na bango lokola makelele ya ebale monene. Mpe soki moto atali kati na mokili, akomona molili mpe minyoko: pole ekozipama na se ya mapata.
