Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, Israel, exultingly, as the peoples; for thou hast gone a whoring from thy God, thou hast loved harlot's hire upon every corn-floor.
Isalaele, kosepela te; kozala na esengo te lokola bikolo mosusu; pamba te otikaki Nzambe na yo mpe okendeki kosala kindumba; osepelaki na lifuti ya kindumba na bitando nyonso oyo batutelaka ble.
2 The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the new wine shall fail her.
Etando oyo batutelaka ble mpe ekamolelo masanga ya vino ekopesa bango bilei te, mpe bakozanga vino ya sika.
3 They shall not dwell in Jehovah's land; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria shall they eat that which is unclean.
Bakovanda lisusu te na mboka na Yawe; Efrayimi akozonga na Ejipito, mpe bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na Asiri.
4 They shall pour out no [offerings of] wine to Jehovah, neither shall their sacrifices be pleasing unto him: they shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be defiled: for their bread shall be for themselves; it shall not come into the house of Jehovah.
Bakobonzela lisusu Yawe makabo ya masanga ya vino te, mpe bambeka na bango ekosepelisa lisusu Yawe te. Ekozala mpo na bango lokola bilei ya matanga: bato nyonso oyo bakolia yango bakokoma mbindo; pamba te bilei na bango ekozala kaka mpo na mabumu na bango, kasi ekokota te na Tempelo ya Yawe.
5 What will ye do in the day of assembly, and in the day of the feast of Jehovah?
Boye, bokosala nini na mikolo ya bafeti oyo ekatama, na mikolo ya bafeti ya Yawe?
6 For behold, they are gone away because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them up, Moph shall bury them: their pleasant things of silver, nettles shall possess them; thorns shall be in their tents.
Ata soki bakimi, bakobebisama; Ejipito ekoyamba bango, Mefisi ekozala kunda na bango; matiti mabe ekotonda na bibombelo palata na bango, banzube ekotonda kati na bandako na bango.
7 The days of visitation are come; the days of recompence are come: Israel shall know [it]: the prophet is a fool, the inspired man is mad, because of the greatness of thine iniquity, and the great enmity.
Mikolo ya etumbu ezali koya, mikolo ya kofuta masumu esili koya. Isalaele, yeba yango! Mosakoli akomi zoba, moto ya Molimo abeli liboma! Pamba te masumu na yo ekomi ebele penza, mpe mabe na yo ekomi mingi liboso na ngai.
8 Is Ephraim a watchman with my God? [nay] the prophet is a fowler's snare on all his ways, enmity in the house of his God.
Mokengeli ya Efrayimi azali elongo na Nzambe na ngai, azali mosakoli; Nzokande bazali kotiela ye mitambo na banzela na ye nyonso mpe bazali kotelemela ye kino na Ndako ya Nzambe na ye.
9 They have deeply corrupted themselves as in the days of Gibeah. He will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Bamikotisi penza kati na mabe ndenge basalaki na mikolo ya Gibea. Nzambe akobosana mabe na bango te mpe akopesa bango etumbu mpo na masumu na bango.
10 I found Israel as grapes in the wilderness; as first-ripe fruit on the fig-tree, I saw your fathers at the beginning: they went to Baal-Peor, and separated themselves unto that shame, and became abominations like their lover.
Tango namonaki Isalaele, azalaki lokola bambuma ya vino kati na esobe. Tango namonaki bakoko na bino, bazalaki lokola bambuma ya liboso ya nzete ya figi. Kasi tango bakomaki na Bala Peori, bamipesaki na nzambe oyo ya ekeko ya soni mpe bakomaki nkele lokola eloko oyo bango balingaki.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away as a bird, — no birth, no pregnancy, no conception!
Nkembo ya Efrayimi ekokima lokola ndeke, wuta na mbotama, wuta na zemi, wuta na ebandeli ya zemi.
12 For even should they bring up their children, yet will I bereave them, [that] not a man [remain]: for woe also to them when I shall have departed from them!
Ezala soki babokoli bana, nakobotola bango liboso ete bakola. Solo, mawa na bango tango nakopesa bango mokongo!
13 Ephraim, as I saw [him], was a Tyre planted in a beautiful place; but Ephraim shall bring forth his children to the slayer.
Nazali komona Efrayimi lokola engumba Tiri oyo etongama na likolo ya mabele ya kitoko; nzokande, Efrayimi akokaba bana na ye na mobomi.
14 Give them, Jehovah — what wilt thou give? — give them a miscarrying womb and dry breasts.
Oh Yawe, pesa bango… Okopesa bango nini? Pesa bango mabumu oyo esopaka bazemi, mpe mabele oyo ekawuka.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I hated them: because of the wickedness of their doings, I will drive them out of my house, I will love them no more: all their princes are rebellious.
Nayinaki bango mpo na mabe na bango nyonso oyo basalaki na Giligali; Nakobengana bango na Ndako na Ngai mpo na misala na bango ya mabe. Nakolinga bango lisusu te, pamba te bakonzi na bango nyonso bazali batomboki.
16 Ephraim is smitten: their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet will I slay the beloved [fruit] of their womb.
Efrayimi alembi, misisa na ye ekawuki; akobota lisusu bambuma te; ata soki baboti bana, nakoboma bana na bango oyo balingaka mingi.
17 My God hath rejected them, because they hearkened not unto him; and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Nzambe na ngai akobwaka bango, pamba te batosaki Ye te, mpe bakokoma koyengayenga kati na bikolo.
