Micah 7
1 Woe is me, for I am become as one that gleaneth in autumn the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eat, my soul desired the firstripe figs.
Tala, mawa na ngai! Nakomi lokola moto oyo azali koluka kobuka bambuma na eleko ya elanga, na tango oyo bazongelaka kobuka bambuma ya vino oyo etikalaka. Kasi ezali ata na liboke moko te ya bambuma ya vino ya kolia to mbuma ata moko te ya figi ya sika oyo nasepelaka kolia.
2 The holy man is perished out of the earth, and there is none upright among men: they all lie in wait for blood, every one hunteth his brother to death.
Bayengebene batikali lisusu te na mokili, moto ya sembo azali lisusu te; bato nyonso bakomi kaka koluka nzela ya kosopa makila, mpe moto na moto azali kotiela ndeko na ye motambo.
3 The evil of their hands they call good: the prince requireth, and the judge is for giving: and the great man hath uttered the desire of his soul, and they have troubled it.
Maboko na bango eyebi penza kosala makambo mabe, bakambi mpe basambisi na bango bakomi koluka kanyaka; bongo bato ya makasi bazali kosala makambo nyonso oyo balingi, bayokanaka mpo na kosala bato mabe.
4 He that is best among them, is as a brier: and he that is righteous, as the thorn of the hedge. The day of thy inspection, thy visitation cometh: now shall be their destruction.
Moto oyo aleki malamu kati na bango azali lokola nzube, moto oyo aleki sembo azali mabe koleka liboke ya basende. Mokolo oyo bakengeli na yo basakolaki ekokisami, mokolo oyo Yawe ayei kopesa yo etumbu. Sik’oyo, ekomi tango na bango ya koyoka soni.
5 Believe not a friend, and trust not in a prince: keep the doors of thy mouth from her that sleepeth in thy bosom.
Botia motema te epai ya bazalani na bino, botia elikya te epai ya baninga na bino ya motema. Ezala liboso ya mwasi oyo alalaka na tolo na yo, keba na maloba oyo ezali kobima na monoko na yo.
6 For the son dishonoureth the father, and the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter in law against her mother in law: and a man’s enemies are they of his own household.
Pamba te mwana mobali azali koyokisa tata na ye soni, elenge mwasi azali kotelemela mama na ye, mwasi ya libala azali kotelemela mama-bokilo na ye; bongo monguna ya moto, ezali kaka moto ya libota na ye.
7 But I will look towards the Lord, I will wait for God my Saviour: my God will hear me.
Kasi mpo na ngai, nakotia elikya na ngai epai na Yawe, nakotalela Nzambe, Mobikisi na ngai; Nzambe na ngai akoyoka ngai.
8 Rejoice not, thou, my enemy, over me, because I am fallen: I shall arise, when I sit in darkness, the Lord is my light.
Oh banguna na ngai, boseka ngai te! Ata soki nakweyi, nakotelema kaka. Ata soki navandi kati na molili, Yawe azali pole na ngai.
9 I will bear the wrath of the Lord, because I have sinned against him; until he judge my cause and execute judgment for me: he will bring me forth into the light, I shall behold his justice.
Lokola nasalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, nakomema mokumba ya kanda na Ye kino tango akozwa likambo na ngai na maboko mpe akolongisa ngai. Akobimisa ngai na pole, mpe nakomona bosembo na Ye.
10 And my enemy shall behold, and she shall be covered with shame, who saith to me: Where is the Lord thy God? My eyes shall look down upon her: now shall she be trodden under foot as the mire of the streets.
Bongo monguna na ngai akomona yango mpe akoyoka soni makasi, ye oyo azalaki koloba na ngai: « Wapi Yawe, Nzambe na yo? » Miso na ngai ekomona ndenge akokweya mpe ndenge bakonyata ye lokola potopoto ya nzela.
11 The day shall come, that thy walls may be built up: in that day shall the law be far removed.
Mokolo ya kotonga lisusu bamir na yo ekoya; ezali mokolo wana nde bandelo ya mokili na yo ekopusama lisusu mosika.
12 In that day they shall come even from Assyria to thee, and to the fortified cities: and from the fortified cities even to the river, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.
Na mokolo wana, bato ebele bakoya epai na yo longwa na mokili ya Asiri mpe na bingumba ya Ejipito, ata longwa na mokili ya Ejipito kino na ebale Efrate, longwa na ebale monene moko kino na mosusu, longwa na ngomba moko kino na mosusu.
13 And the land shall be made desolate, because of the inhabitants thereof, and for the fruit of their devices.
Mokili ekobebisama likolo ya bato wana, likolo ya bizaleli na bango ya mabe.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flock of thy inheritance, them that dwell alone in the forest, in the midst of Carmel: they shall feed in Basan and Galaad according to the days of old.
Kamba bato na Yo na lingenda na Yo ndenge mobateli bibwele asalaka! Pamba te bazali bameme ya libula na Yo, oyo ezali lokola kotelengana yango moko kati na zamba, na etando moko ya kitoko. Tika ete elia na bilanga ya Bashani mpe ya Galadi ndenge ezalaki kolia na tango ya kala.
15 According to the days of thy coming out of the land of Egypt I will shew him wonders.
Nakomonisa yo makambo ya kokamwa lokola na tango obimaki na Ejipito.
16 The nations shall see, and shall be confounded at all their strength: they shall put the hand upon the mouth, their ears shall be deaf.
Bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bakomona yango mpe bakoyoka soni; ata soki bazali na nguya ya ndenge nini, bakozanga maloba, mpe matoyi na bango ekokangama.
17 They shall lick the dust like serpents, as the creeping things of the earth, they shall be disturbed in their houses: they shall dread the Lord our God, and shall fear thee.
Bakolia mabele lokola nyoka, mpe lokola banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu; bakobima na somo wuta na madusu epai wapi bazalaki kobombama, bakoya epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, na kolenga.
18 Who is a God like to thee, who takest away iniquity, and passest by the sin of the remnant of thy inheritance? he will send his fury in no more, because he delighteth in mercy.
Nzambe nini akokani na Yo, Yo oyo olimbisaka masumu ya bato mpe obosanaka mabe ya batikali kati na libula na Yo? Okangelaka bato kanda mpo na libela te, kasi osepelaka kotalisa bango ngolu.
19 He will turn again, and have mercy on us: he will put away our iniquities: and he will cast all our sins into the bottom of the sea.
Solo, okoyokela biso lisusu mawa, matambe na Yo ekonyata masumu na biso, mpe okobwaka mabunga na biso nyonso kati na bozindo ya ebale monene.
20 Thou wilt perform the truth of Jacob, the mercy to Abraham: which thou hast sworn to our fathers from the days of old.
Okomonisa Jakobi bosembo na Yo, mpe Abrayami, bolamu na Yo, ndenge olapaki ndayi epai ya batata na biso na tango ya kala.
