Amos 6
1 Woe to you who have been wealthy in Zion, and to you who have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: aristocrats, heads of the people, who advance with a retinue into the house of Israel.
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 Cross over to Calneh and see, and go from there into Hamath the great, and descend into Gath of the Philistines, and to the best kingdoms of these, if their limits are wider than your limits.
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 have been set aside for the day of disaster, and you approach the throne of iniquity.
Bozali kozongisa mokolo ya pasi sima mpe komibendela bokonzi ya somo.
4 You sleep on beds of ivory, and you are lustful on your couches. You devour lambs from the flock and calves from the midst of the herd.
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 You sing to the sound of stringed instruments; they consider themselves to have the musical abilities of David.
Bozali kobeta mandanda na bino lokola Davidi mpe kokotisa bibetelo mindule kati na banzembo na bino.
6 You drink wine in bowls, and you anoint with the best ointments; and they suffer nothing over the grief 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 Because of this, now they will depart at the head of those who go into captivity; and the faction of the lustful will be removed.
Yango wana bokozala bato ya liboso mpo na kokende na bowumbu, mpe bafeti ya bato oyo bamivandisaka na bakiti ya kitoko ekosila.
8 The Lord God has sworn by his own soul, the Lord God of hosts says: I detest the arrogance of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will hand over the city with its inhabitants.
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 For if there were ten men remaining in one house, even they will die.
Soki bato zomi batikali na bomoi kati na ndako moko, bango mpe bakokufa.
10 And his closest relative will steal him away and will burn him, so that he may carry the bones out of the house. And he will say to him that is in the inner most rooms of the house, “Now is there any left that still belongs to you?” And he will answer, “It is finished.” And he will say to him, “Be silent and do not call to mind 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 has commanded, and he will strike the greater house with catastrophes, and the lesser house with divisions.
Pamba te Yawe apesi mitindo, boye akobuka-buka na biteni ndako monene mpe akobuka-buka na biteni ya mike-mike ndako moke.
12 Can horses gallop across rocks, or is anyone able to plough with gazelles? For you have turned judgment into bitterness and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
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 rejoice in emptiness. You say, “Have we not, by our own strength, taken horns for ourselves?”
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, house of Israel, I will raise up a people over you, says the Lord God of hosts, and they will crush you from the entrance of Hamath all the way to the burning of the desert.
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. »
