Micah 1
1 The word of Jehovah that came to Micah the Morasthite in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, [and] Hezekiah, kings of Judah, which he saw concerning 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 Hear, ye peoples, all of you; hearken, O earth, and all that is therein: and let the Lord Jehovah be witness against 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, Jehovah cometh forth out of his place, and will come down, and tread upon 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 shall be melted under him, and the valleys shall be cleft, as wax before the fire, as waters poured down a steep place.
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 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Whence is the transgression of Jacob? is it not [from] Samaria? And whence are the high places of Judah? are they not [from] 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 Therefore will I make Samaria as a heap of the field, as plantings of a vineyard; and I will pour down the stones thereof into the valley, and I will lay bare the foundations thereof.
« 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 shall be beaten to pieces, and all her harlot-gifts shall be burned with fire, and all her idols will I make a desolation; for of the hire of a harlot hath she gathered [them], and to a harlot's hire shall they 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 For this will I lament, and I will howl; I will go stripped and naked: I will make a wailing like the jackals, and 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 wounds are incurable; for it is come even unto Judah, it reacheth unto 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 Tell it not in Gath, weep not at all; at Beth-le-aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Boloba yango te kati na engumba Gati, bolela te! Bato ya Beti-Leafra, bomipakola putulu!
11 Pass away, inhabitress of Shaphir, in nakedness [and] shame. The inhabitress of Zaanan is not come forth for the lamentation of Beth-ezel: he will take from you its shelter.
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 the inhabitress of Maroth waited anxiously for good; but evil hath come down from Jehovah unto 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 Bind the chariot to the swift steed, O inhabitress of Lachish: she was the beginning of sin to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions 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 Therefore shalt thou give parting-gifts to Moresheth-Gath: the houses of Achzib shall be a lie to 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 I will yet bring unto thee an heir, O inhabitress of Mareshah; the glory of Israel shall come even unto Adullam.
Bino bavandi ya Maresha, nakotindela bino monguna moko mpo ete aya kobundisa bino; lokumu ya Isalaele ekokima na engumba Adulami.
16 Make thee bald, and poll thee for the children of thy delights; enlarge thy baldness as the eagle, for they are gone into captivity from thee.
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.
