Amos 6
1 Woe to them that set at nothing Sion, and that trust in the mountain of Samaria: they have gathered [the harvest of] the heads of the nations, and they have gone in themselves.
Mawa na bino oyo bomimonaka ete bokoka kati na Siona, mpe na bino oyo bokanisaka ete bozali na kimia na likolo ya ngomba Samari, bino bato ya lokumu ya ekolo oyo ekenda sango koleka bikolo mosusu epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bayaka!
2 O house of Israel, pass by all [of you], and see; and pass by thence to Ematrabba; and thence descend to Geth of the Philistines, the chief of all these kingdoms, [see] if their coasts are greater than your coasts.
Bokende na Kaline mpo na kotala makambo oyo elekaki kuna! Bongo longwa kuna, bokende na Amati, engumba monene, mpe bokende lisusu na Gati kati na Filisitia! Boni, bingumba oyo eleki penza bingumba ya mikili ya bokonzi oyo na malamu? Mpe etando na yango eleki ya bino na monene?
3 You who are approaching the evil day, who are drawing near and adopting false sabbaths;
Bozali kozongisa mokolo ya pasi sima mpe komibendela bokonzi ya somo.
4 who sleep upon beds of ivory, and live delicately on their couches, and eat kids out of the flocks, and sucking calves out of the midst of the stalls;
Bozali kolala na bambeto oyo batia pembe ya nzoko, bozali komivandisa na bakiti ya divan ya kitoko, bozali kolia misuni ya bameme ya kitoko kati na bibwele mpe ya bana ngombe ya mibali ya mafuta kati na etonga.
5 who excel in the sound of musical instruments; they have regarded them as dwelling, not as fleeting [pleasures];
Bozali kobeta mandanda na bino lokola Davidi mpe kokotisa bibetelo mindule kati na banzembo na bino.
6 who drink strained wine, and anoint themselves with the best ointment; and have suffered nothing on occasion of the calamity of Joseph.
Bozali komela bakopo etonda na masanga ya vino mpe bozali kopakola mafuta ya talo na banzoto na bino, kasi kobebisama ya ndako ya Jozefi ezali kosala bino pasi na mitema te.
7 Therefore now shall they depart into captivity from the dominion of princes, and the neighing of horses shall be cut off from Ephraim.
Yango wana bokozala bato ya liboso mpo na kokende na bowumbu, mpe bafeti ya bato oyo bamivandisaka na bakiti ya kitoko ekosila.
8 For the Lord has sworn by himself, [saying], Because I abhor all the pride of Jacob, I do also hate his countries, and I will cut off [his] city with all who inhabit it.
Nkolo Yawe alapi ndayi na Kombo na Ye moko; Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Nazali na somo ya lolendo ya Jakobi, nayini bandako na ye, oyo batonga makasi; nakokaba engumba elongo na biloko na yango nyonso. »
9 And it shall come to pass, if there be ten men left in one house, that they shall die.
Soki bato zomi batikali na bomoi kati na ndako moko, bango mpe bakokufa.
10 But a remnant shall be left behind, and their relations shall take them, and shall strenuously endeavour to carry forth their bones from the house: and one shall say to the heads of the house, Is there yet [any one] else with you? And he shall say, No [one] else. And [the other] shall say, Be silent, that you name not the name of the Lord.
Soki noko moko oyo asengeli kotumba bibembe ayei kobimisa yango na ndako mpe atuni na moto nyonso oyo abombami kuna: — Boni, ozali elongo na moto mosusu kuna? Akozongisa: — Te, moto mosusu azali te! Bongo akoloba lisusu: — Esili! Bakolobela lisusu Kombo ya Yawe te.
11 For, behold, the Lord commands, and he will strike the great house with breaches, and the little house with rents.
Pamba te Yawe apesi mitindo, boye akobuka-buka na biteni ndako monene mpe akobuka-buka na biteni ya mike-mike ndako moke.
12 Will horses run upon rocks? will they refrain from neighing at mares? for you have turned judgement into poison, and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness:
Boni, bampunda ekimaka penza mbangu na nzela oyo etonda na mabanga? Ngombe ebalolaka penza mabele na bisika ya ndenge wana? Kasi bino bokomisi bosembo ngenge, mpe mbuma ya bosembo bololo.
13 you who rejoice at vanity, who say, Have we not possessed horns by our own strength?
Bozali kosepela mpo ete bozwi Lo-Debari mpe bozali komikumisa na koloba: « Boni, tobotoli engumba Karinayimi na makasi na biso moko te? »
14 For behold, O house of Israel, I will raise up against you a nation, says the Lord of hosts; and they shall afflict you so that you shall not enter into Aemath, and as it were [from] the river of the wilderness.
Mpo na yango, Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Oh libota ya Isalaele, nakobimisa ekolo moko oyo ekobundisa mpe ekonyokola yo tango nyonso wuta na Lebo-Amati kino na lubwaku ya Araba. »
