Hosea 7
1 When I would heal Israel, then the iniquity of Ephraim is uncovered, and the wickedness of Samaria. For they commit falsehood, and the thief enters in, and the troop of robbers ravages outside.
Tango kaka nalingaki kobikisa Isalaele, masumu ya Efrayimi mpe mabe ya Samari ebimaki na pwasa, mpo ete batambolaki na lokuta; miyibi babukaki bandako mpe bato mabe babotolaki bato biloko kati na babalabala.
2 And they do not consider in their hearts that I remember all their wickedness. Now their own doings have surrounded them; they are before my face.
Bamilobelaka te, kati na mitema na bango, ete Ngai nabosanaka te mabe nyonso oyo basalaka; sik’oyo, misala na bango ya mabe ezingeli bango, ezali tango nyonso liboso na Ngai.
3 They make the king glad with their wickedness, and the rulers with their lies.
Basepelisaka mokonzi na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe; basepelisaka mpe bakambi na nzela ya lokuta na bango.
4 They are all adulterers. They are as an oven heated by the baker. He ceases to stir the fire, from the kneading of the dough, until it is leavened.
Bango nyonso bazali bandumba, bapelaka na posa lokola moto ya fulu ya mapa, oyo molambi mapa akobaka te kobakisa koni, wuta na tango asangisaki farine kino mapa evimba.
5 On the day of our king the rulers made themselves sick with the heat of wine. He stretched out his hand with scoffers.
Na mokolo ya feti ya mokonzi na biso, bakambi balangwaka masanga mpe mokonzi asanganaka na batioli.
6 For they have made their heart ready like an oven, while they lie in wait. Their baker sleeps all the night. In the morning it burns as a flaming fire.
Wana mitema na bango epelaka lokola moto ya fulu, bapusanaka pene na ye na mayele mabe. Butu mobimba, balalaka na kanda; mpe na tongo, kanda yango ekomaka kopela lokola moto.
7 They are all hot as an oven, and devour their judges. All their kings are fallen. There is none among those who call to me.
Bango nyonso bapelaka lokola moto ya fulu, batumbaka bakambi na bango; mpe bakonzi na bango nyonso bakweyaka, moko te kati na bango abelelaka Ngai.
8 Ephraim, he mixes himself among the peoples. Ephraim is a cake not turned.
Efrayimi asangani na bikolo mosusu, akomi lokola galeti oyo ebela malamu te.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he does not know. Yea, gray hairs are here and there upon him, and he does not know.
Bapaya bazali kosilisa ye makasi, kasi ye azali kososola yango te. Azali kokoma mobange, kasi azali kososola yango te.
10 And the pride of Israel testifies to his face. Yet they have not returned to Jehovah their God, nor sought him for all this.
Lolendo ya Isalaele ezali kofunda ye, kasi azali komona nyonso wana pamba: azongeli te Yawe, Nzambe na ye; mpe atako bongo, azali kaka koluka Ye te!
11 And Ephraim is like a silly dove, without understanding. They call to Egypt. They go to Assyria.
Efrayimi akomi lokola ebenga oyo ekosamaka na bopete mpe ezangi mayele: azali kosenga lisungi epai ya Ejipito, kasi azali mpe kokende na Asiri.
12 When they shall go, I will spread my net upon them. I will bring them down as the birds of the heavens. I will chastise them, as their congregation has heard.
Tango akendaka, nabwakelaka ye monyama mpe nakangaka ye ndenge bakangaka ndeke na likolo. Nakopesa ye etumbu oyo ekoki kolanda ndenge nakebisaki ye na tina na yango kati na lisanga.
13 Woe to them! For they have wandered from me. Destruction to them! For they have trespassed against me. Though I would redeem them, yet they have spoken lies against me.
Mawa na bango mpo ete bakimi mosika na Ngai! Tika ete babebisama mpo ete batombokeli Ngai! Wana nazalaki na Ngai kokangola bango, kasi bango, basepelaki kokosela Ngai makambo!
14 And they have not cried to me with their heart, but they howl upon their beds. They assemble themselves for grain and new wine. They rebel against me.
Babelelaka Ngai te wuta na mozindo ya mitema na bango, kasi balelaka na bambeto na bango. Tango bamikataka banzoloko mpo na kozwa ble mpe vino ya sika, bakomaka nde mosika na Ngai.
15 Though I have taught and strengthened their arms, yet they devise mischief against me.
Ezali Ngai nde nateyaki mpe nakomisaki bango makasi, kasi bango bazalaka kaka na mabongisi ya kosala Ngai mabe.
16 They return, but not to him on high. They are like a deceitful bow. Their rulers shall fall by the sword for the rage of their tongue. This shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Bazongelaka te Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bazali lokola tolotolo ebeba; bakambi na bango bakokufa na mopanga likolo ya maloba na bango ezanga limemia. Mpo na yango, bakosambwa kati na Ejipito.
