Amos 2
1 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Moabi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te batumbaki mikuwa ya mokonzi ya Edomi mpe bakomisaki yango putulu.
2 And I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerijoth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, [and] with the sound of the trumpet.
Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Moabi, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba ya Kerioti, oyo batonga makasi. Moabi ekokufa kati na lokito ya makasi, na makelele ya bitumba mpe ya kelelo.
3 And I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof with him, saith Jehovah.
Nakobebisa mokonzi na yango mpe nakoboma ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.
4 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have despised the law of Jehovah, and have not kept his statutes; and their lies have caused them to err, after which their fathers walked.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Yuda, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te babwakaki Mobeko na Ngai, babatelaki te bikateli na Ngai mpe babungaki nzela mpo na kolanda banzambe ya lokuta oyo bakoko na bango balandaki na tango ya kala.
5 And I will send a fire upon Judah, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Yuda, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba Yelusalemi, oyo batonga makasi. »
6 Thus saith Jehovah: For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, I will not revoke its sentence; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Isalaele, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te batekaki bato ya sembo mpo na kozwa kaka palata, mpe bato bakelela mpo na kozwa kaka mapapa mibale.
7 panting after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turning aside the way of the meek; and a man and his father will go in unto the [same] maid, to profane my holy name.
Bazali konyata mito ya babola ndenge banyataka putulu ya mabele, mpe bazali kokata na bosembo te makambo ya bato bakelela. Tata mpe mwana na ye ya mobali bazali kosangisa nzoto na mwasi moko ya makangu; mpe na bongo, bazali kotiola bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai.
8 And they lay [themselves] down by every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and they drink [in] the house of their God the wine of the condemned.
Pene ya bitumbelo, bazali kolalela bilamba oyo bazwi na ndanga; mpe kati na ndako ya nzambe na bango, bazali komela vino oyo epesami lokola lomande.
9 But I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was as the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Nzokande, Ngai, nabebisaki bato ya Amori liboso na bango, atako bazali milayi lokola banzete ya sedele mpe makasi lokola banzete ya sheni. Nabebisaki bambuma na yango na likolo, mpe misisa na yango na se.
10 And I brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Nabimisaki bino na Ejipito mpe natambolisaki bino mibu tuku minei kati na esobe mpo na kopesa bino mokili ya bato ya Amori.
11 And I raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazarites. Is it not even thus, ye children of Israel? saith Jehovah.
Kati na bana na bino ya mibali, nabimisaki basakoli; mpe kati na bilenge mibali na bino, nabimisaki banaziri. Oh bana ya Isalaele, boni, ezali solo te? » elobi Yawe.
12 And ye gave the Nazarites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.
« Kasi bino, bolangwisi banaziri masanga mpe bopekisi basakoli ete basakola lisusu te.
13 Behold, I will press upon you, as a cart presseth that is full of sheaves.
Sik’oyo, nakonyata bino ndenge shar oyo etonda na maboke ya bambuma enyataka biloko.
14 And flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver his soul.
Moto oyo aleki na mbangu akobika te, moto oyo aleki makasi akokoka kobimisa makasi na ye te, mpe soda ya mpiko akokoka kobikisa bomoi na ye te.
15 Neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and the swift of foot shall not escape, and he that rideth the horse shall not deliver his soul;
Mobeti tolotolo akolonga te, soda ya mpiko akokoka kokima te, mpe soda oyo atambolaka likolo ya mpunda akobikisa bomoi na ye te;
16 and he that is stout-hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith Jehovah.
ezala basoda oyo baleki makasi, bakokima bolumbu na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe.
