Amos 6
1 Woe to you that are wealthy in Sion, and to you that have confidence in the mountain of Samaria: ye great men, heads of the people, that go in with state into the house of Israel.
Mawa na bino oyo bomimonaka ete bokoka kati na Siona, mpe na bino oyo bokanisaka ete bozali na kimia na likolo ya ngomba Samari, bino bato ya lokumu ya ekolo oyo ekenda sango koleka bikolo mosusu epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bayaka!
2 Pass ye over to Chalane, and see, and go from thence into Emath the great: and go down into Geth of the Philistines, and to all the best kingdoms of these: if their border be larger than your border.
Bokende na Kaline mpo na kotala makambo oyo elekaki kuna! Bongo longwa kuna, bokende na Amati, engumba monene, mpe bokende lisusu na Gati kati na Filisitia! Boni, bingumba oyo eleki penza bingumba ya mikili ya bokonzi oyo na malamu? Mpe etando na yango eleki ya bino na monene?
3 You that are separated unto the evil day: and that approach to the throne of iniquity;
Bozali kozongisa mokolo ya pasi sima mpe komibendela bokonzi ya somo.
4 You that sleep upon beds of ivory, and are wanton on your couches: that eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves out of the midst of the herd;
Bozali kolala na bambeto oyo batia pembe ya nzoko, bozali komivandisa na bakiti ya divan ya kitoko, bozali kolia misuni ya bameme ya kitoko kati na bibwele mpe ya bana ngombe ya mibali ya mafuta kati na etonga.
5 You that sing to the sound of the psaltery: they have thought themselves to have instruments of music like David;
Bozali kobeta mandanda na bino lokola Davidi mpe kokotisa bibetelo mindule kati na banzembo na bino.
6 That drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the best ointments: and they are not concerned for the affliction of Joseph.
Bozali komela bakopo etonda na masanga ya vino mpe bozali kopakola mafuta ya talo na banzoto na bino, kasi kobebisama ya ndako ya Jozefi ezali kosala bino pasi na mitema te.
7 Wherefore now they shall go captive at the head of them that go into captivity: and the faction of the luxurious ones shall be taken away.
Yango wana bokozala bato ya liboso mpo na kokende na bowumbu, mpe bafeti ya bato oyo bamivandisaka na bakiti ya kitoko ekosila.
8 The Lord God hath sworn by his own soul, saith the Lord the God of hosts: I detest the pride of Jacob, and I hate his houses, and I will deliver up the city with the inhabitants thereof.
Nkolo Yawe alapi ndayi na Kombo na Ye moko; Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Nazali na somo ya lolendo ya Jakobi, nayini bandako na ye, oyo batonga makasi; nakokaba engumba elongo na biloko na yango nyonso. »
9 And if there remain ten men in one house, they also shall die.
Soki bato zomi batikali na bomoi kati na ndako moko, bango mpe bakokufa.
10 And a man’s kinsman shall take him up, and shall burn him, that he may carry the bones out of the house; and he shall say to him that is in the inner rooms of the house: Is there yet any with thee? And he shall answer: There is an end. And he shall any to him: Hold thy peace, and mention not the name of the Lord.
Soki noko moko oyo asengeli kotumba bibembe ayei kobimisa yango na ndako mpe atuni na moto nyonso oyo abombami kuna: — Boni, ozali elongo na moto mosusu kuna? Akozongisa: — Te, moto mosusu azali te! Bongo akoloba lisusu: — Esili! Bakolobela lisusu Kombo ya Yawe te.
11 For behold the Lord hath commanded, and he will strike the greater house with breaches, and the lesser house with clefts.
Pamba te Yawe apesi mitindo, boye akobuka-buka na biteni ndako monene mpe akobuka-buka na biteni ya mike-mike ndako moke.
12 Can horses run upon the rocks, or can any one plough with buffles? for you have turned judgment into bitterness, and the fruit of justice into wormwood.
Boni, bampunda ekimaka penza mbangu na nzela oyo etonda na mabanga? Ngombe ebalolaka penza mabele na bisika ya ndenge wana? Kasi bino bokomisi bosembo ngenge, mpe mbuma ya bosembo bololo.
13 You that rejoice in a thing of nought: you that say: Have we not taken unto us horns by our own strength?
Bozali kosepela mpo ete bozwi Lo-Debari mpe bozali komikumisa na koloba: « Boni, tobotoli engumba Karinayimi na makasi na biso moko te? »
14 But behold, I will raise up a nation against you, O house of Israel, saith the Lord the God of hosts; and they shall destroy you from the entrance of Emath, even to the torrent of the desert.
Mpo na yango, Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Oh libota ya Isalaele, nakobimisa ekolo moko oyo ekobundisa mpe ekonyokola yo tango nyonso wuta na Lebo-Amati kino na lubwaku ya Araba. »
