Micah 6
1 Hear now what the LORD says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear your voice.
Boyoka makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Telema mpe samba likambo na yo liboso ya bangomba, mpe tika ete bangomba mikuse eyoka makambo oyo ozali koloba!
2 Hear, O mountains, the LORD’s indictment, you enduring foundations of the earth. For the LORD has a case against His people, and He will argue it against Israel:
Bino bangomba mpe bino miboko oyo eninganaka te, boyoka likambo oyo Yawe afundeli bato na Ye, pamba te azwi bango na likambo mpe alingi kosamba na Isalaele.
3 ‘My people, what have I done to you? Testify against Me how I have wearied you!
Bino bato na Ngai, nasali bino penza nini? Boyanola Ngai nanu, nalembisi bino na likambo nini?
4 For I brought you up from the land of Egypt and redeemed you from the house of slavery. I sent Moses before you, as well as Aaron and Miriam.
Ezali te mpo ete nabimisaki bino na Ejipito to mpo ete nakangolaki bino na ndako ya bowumbu? Boni, ezali te mpo ete natindelaki bino Moyize, Aron mpe Miriami mpo ete bakamba bino?
5 My people, remember what Balak king of Moab counseled and what Balaam son of Beor answered. Remember your journey from Shittim to Gilgal, so that you may acknowledge the righteousness of the LORD.’”
Bato na Ngai, bokanisa nanu makambo oyo Balaki, mokonzi ya Moabi, akanaki kosala bino, mpe makambo oyo Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, azongiselaki ye. Bokanisa nanu nzela oyo botambolaki longwa na Sitimi kino na Giligali mpo ete bokoka kondima ata misala ya bosembo ya Yawe. »
6 With what shall I come before the LORD when I bow before the God on high? Should I come to Him with burnt offerings, with year-old calves?
Eloko nini penza tokoki komema epai na Yawe mpo na kofukama liboso ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo? Boni, tomema bambeka ya kotumba to bana ngombe ya mibali ya mobu moko?
7 Would the LORD be pleased with thousands of rams, with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I present my firstborn for my transgression, the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Yawe akosepela solo soki tomemeli Ye minkoko ya bameme ya mibali to soki topesi Ye mafuta ebele lokola mayi ya ebale? Boni, topesa solo bana na biso ya liboso mpo ete tozwa bolimbisi masumu na biso? Boni, topesa bana na biso ya mibali oyo bawuti na mikongo na biso mpo ete akoka kolongola masumu na biso?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does the LORD require of you but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Oh moto, bateyaki yo makambo oyo ezali malamu. Mpe tala makambo oyo Yawe azali kosenga epai na yo: Tambola na bosembo, linga boboto mpe tambola elongo na Nzambe na yo na komikitisa.
9 The voice of the LORD calls out to the city (and it is sound wisdom to fear Your name): “Heed the rod and the One who ordained it.
Boyoka! Yawe azali kobelela na engumba! Kotosa Kombo na Ye, yango nde kozala na bwanya. Boyoka sango ya etumbu na bino na monoko na Ye oyo atindi yango!
10 Can I forget any longer, O house of the wicked, the treasures of wickedness and the short ephah, which is accursed?
Oh libota ya mobulu, boni, nasepela penza komona bomengo na bino, oyo bosili kozwa na nzela ya mabe, Efa ekoka te oyo elakelama mabe?
11 Can I excuse dishonest scales or bags of false weights?
Boni, nazanga penza kopesa etumbu epai ya moto oyo asalelaka kilo ya lokuta, mpe oyo azali na libenga etonda na bimekelo kilo ya lokuta?
12 For the wealthy of the city are full of violence, and its residents speak lies; their tongues are deceitful in their mouths.
Bazwi ya libota oyo batondi na kanza, bato ya libota oyo batondi na lokuta, mpe mosala ya bibebu na bango ezali kaka kokosa.
13 Therefore I am striking you severely, to ruin you because of your sins.
Yango wana, Ngai nakobeta yo na nzela ya pasi mpe nakobebisa yo mpo na masumu na yo.
14 You will eat but not be satisfied, and your hunger will remain with you. What you acquire, you will not preserve; and what you save, I will give to the sword.
Okolia, kasi okotonda te, pamba te nzala makasi ekokota na ndako na yo. Okosala ekonzo, kasi okobatela eloko moko te, pamba te nakokaba yango na mopanga.
15 You will sow but not reap; you will press olives but not anoint yourselves with oil; you will tread grapes but not drink the wine.
Okolona bilanga, kasi okobuka bambuma te; okokamola bambuma ya olive, kasi okomipakola mafuta na yango te; okokamola bambuma ya vino, kasi okomela masanga na yango te.
16 You have kept the statutes of Omri and all the practices of Ahab’s house; you have followed their counsel. Therefore I will make you a desolation, and your inhabitants an object of contempt; you will bear the scorn of the nations.”
Lokola obatelaki malako ya Omiri mpe osalaki misala nyonso ya mabe ya ndako ya Akabi, nakokaba yo mpo ete obebisama, nakokaba bato na yo mpo ete batiolama; bongo bokolata soni ya libota na Ngai.
