Micah 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Moreshethite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw about Samaria and Jerusalem.
Yawe alobaki na Mishe, moto ya mboka Moresheti, na tango Yotami, Akazi mpe Ezekiasi bazalaki, moko sima na mosusu, bakonzi ya Yuda: ezalaki emoniseli oyo Mishe azwaki na tina na Samari mpe Yelusalemi.
2 All peoples, listen. And may the earth and its fullness pay attention. And may the Lord God be a witness to you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Bino nyonso, bikolo, boyoka! Mabele elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yo, botia matoyi mpe boyoka! Nkolo Yawe azwi bino na likambo; Yawe akosambisa bino wuta na Ndako na Ye ya bule!
3 For behold, the Lord will go forth from his place. And he will descend, and he will trample over the high places of the earth.
Tala, Yawe azali koya wuta na Ndako na Ye, azali kokita, azali kotambola na likolo ya bangomba ya mabele.
4 And the mountains will be consumed under him, and the valleys will be torn apart, like wax before the face of fire, and like waters that rush swiftly downward.
Na se ya matambe na Ye, bangomba ezali kopasuka, mabwaku ezali kopanzana ndenge mafuta eyandukaka na moto, ndenge mayi ya mvula etiolaka na lombangu na mipanzi ya bangomba.
5 All this is for the wickedness of Jacob and for the sins of the house of Israel. What is the wickedness of Jacob? Is it not Samaria? And what is the loftiness of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
Mpo na nini nyonso wana? Ezali mpo na mabe ya Jakobi, mpo na masumu ya libota ya Isalaele. Nani atindikaki Jakobi na kosala mabe? Boni, ezali Samari te? Nani asalaki ete bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ezala kati na Yuda? Boni, ezali Yelusalemi te?
6 And I will place Samaria like a pile of stones in the field, when a vineyard is planted. And I will pull down its stones into the valley, and I will reveal her foundations.
« Nakokomisa Samari mopiku ya mabanga; bakokoma kosala bilanga ya vino kuna. Nakobwaka mabanga na yango na lubwaku, nakosala ete miboko na yango etikala polele.
7 And all her graven images will be cut to pieces, and all her rewards will be burned with fire, and I will place all her idols in perdition. For they have been gathered together from the pay of a kept woman, and even to the pay of a kept woman, they will return.
Banzambe na bango nyonso ya bikeko ekopanzana, makabo nyonso ya mbindo oyo bapesaka epai ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko ekobwakama na moto. Nakobebisa banzambe nyonso ya bikeko ya Samari mpo ete esalemaki na lifuti ya mbindo ya ekobo ya bule, mpe mpo ete basalela yango lisusu te lokola lifuti ya ekobo mosusu ya bule. »
8 I will lament and wail about this. I will go out despoiled and naked. I will make a howl like the dragons, and a mourning like the ostriches.
Yango wana, nakolela mpe nakosala matanga, nakotambola makolo ngulu mpe bolumbu, nakoganga lokola mbwa ya zamba mpe nakolela lokola maligbanga.
9 For her wound has been in despair. For it has come even to Judah. It has touched the gate of my people, even to Jerusalem.
Pamba te bokono ya Samari esilaka te; pota na yango ezwi mpe mokili ya Yuda, ezali kopusana kino na ekuke ya bato na ngai, kino kutu na yango moko Yelusalemi.
10 Do not be willing to announce it in Gath; may you not lament with tears. In the house of Dust, besprinkle yourselves with dust.
Boloba yango te kati na engumba Gati, bolela te! Bato ya Beti-Leafra, bomipakola putulu!
11 And cross over to your dwelling place, Beauty, bewildered by disgrace. She did not depart, who dwells at the place of departure. The House nearby, which remained firm by herself, will receive mourning from you.
Bato ya engumba Shafiri, botambola bolumbu mpe boyoka soni! Bato ya mboka Tsanani bakobima lisusu na engumba na bango te, bato ya Beti-Atseli bazali na matanga; boye balongoli lisungi na bango epai na yo.
12 For she has been weakened in goodness, who dwells in bitterness. For disaster has descended from the Lord to the gate of Jerusalem.
Bato ya etuka ya Meroti bazali kolenga na somo mpo na bolamu na bango, pamba te Yawe atindi pasi ya makasi kino na ekuke ya Yelusalemi.
13 A tumult of four-horse chariots has stupefied the inhabitants of Lachish. The beginning has been sin for the daughter of Zion, because in you have been found the evil deeds of Israel.
Bino bavandi ya engumba Lakishi, bokangisa bampunda mpe bashar na bino! Bino nde bomemisaki Siona, mboka kitoko, masumu; pamba te bamonaki masumu ya Isalaele kati na bino!
14 Because of this, she will send emissaries to the inheritance of Gath: the house of Lying in order to deceive the kings of Israel.
Yango wana, bokopesa na Moresheti mokanda oyo elakisi ete bokabwani na ye na libala. Engumba Akizibi ezali kokosa bakonzi ya Isalaele.
15 Nevertheless, I will lead an heir to you, who dwell in Mareshah: the glory of Israel will reach all the way to Adullam.
Bino bavandi ya Maresha, nakotindela bino monguna moko mpo ete aya kobundisa bino; lokumu ya Isalaele ekokima na engumba Adulami.
16 Become bald and shaved for your delicate sons. Increase your baldness like the eagle. For they have been carried into captivity from you.
Bomikokola suki na mito mpo na bana na bino ya mibali oyo bolingaka, ndenge esalemaka na matanga. Bomikokola suki na mito mpe botikala mabandi lokola mpongo, pamba te bakomema bango na bowumbu mosika na bino.
