Hosea 7
1 When I was willing to heal Israel, the iniquity of Ephraim was discovered, and the malice of Samaria, for they had been manufacturing lies. And the thief steals from inside, the robber from 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, so that they may not say in their hearts that I am the one who has called to mind all of their wickedness: now their own inventions have encircled them. These things have happened in my presence.
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 The king has rejoiced at their wickedness, and the leaders have rejoiced in 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; like an oven heating up before baking, the city rested a little before the leaven was mixed in, until the whole was 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 leaders began to be mad with wine; he extended his hand with those who fabricate illusions.
Na mokolo ya feti ya mokonzi na biso, bakambi balangwaka masanga mpe mokonzi asanganaka na batioli.
6 For they have used their heart like an oven, while he laid snares for them; he slept through the night baking them, and by morning he himself was heated like a burning 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 have all become hot like an oven, and they have devoured their judges. All their kings have fallen. There is no one who calls to me among them.
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 himself has been mingled with the nations. Ephraim has become like bread, baked under ashes, that has not been turned over.
Efrayimi asangani na bikolo mosusu, akomi lokola galeti oyo ebela malamu te.
9 Strangers have devoured his strength, and he did not know it. And grey hairs also have spread across him, and he is ignorant of it.
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 will be brought low before his face, for they have not returned to the Lord their God, nor have they sought him in all of 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 has become like a pigeon that has been led astray, not having a heart; for they called upon Egypt, they went to the Assyrians.
Efrayimi akomi lokola ebenga oyo ekosamaka na bopete mpe ezangi mayele: azali kosenga lisungi epai ya Ejipito, kasi azali mpe kokende na Asiri.
12 And when they will set out, I will spread my net over them. I will pull them down like the birds of the sky; I will cut them down in accordance with the reports of their meetings.
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 withdrawn from me. They will waste away because they have been dishonest with me. And I redeemed them, and 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 out to me in their heart, but they howled on their beds. They have obsessed about wheat and wine; they have withdrawn from 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 And I have educated them, and I have reinforced their arms; and they have imagined evil against me.
Ezali Ngai nde nateyaki mpe nakomisaki bango makasi, kasi bango bazalaka kaka na mabongisi ya kosala Ngai mabe.
16 They returned so that they might be without a yoke. They have become like a deceitful bow. Their leaders will fall by the sword because of the madness of their words. This is 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.
