Hosea 2
1 “On that day you will call your brothers Ammi, and you will call your sisters Ruhamah.
— Loba na bandeko na yo ya mibali: « Bozali bato na ngai, » mpe na bandeko na yo ya basi: « Bozali balingami na ngai. »
2 Condemn your mother, condemn her because she is not my wife and I am not her husband. Tell her to stop looking like a prostitute—get rid of the makeup and the provocative clothing.
Bopamela mama na bino, bopamela ye; pamba te azali lisusu mwasi na ngai te, mpe ngai nazali lisusu mobali na ye te. Tika ete alongola bilembo ya kindumba na elongi na ye mpe bilembo ya ekobo na mabele na ye.
3 Otherwise I will strip her naked as the day she was born, and make her like a desert, a barren land, and let her die of thirst.
Soki te, nakolongola ye bilamba mpe nakotika ye bolumbu ndenge babotela ye, nakokomisa ye lokola esobe, lokola mokili oyo ekawuka; mpe akokufa na posa ya mayi.
4 I will have no pity on her children because they are children of prostitution.
Nakolinga bana na ye te, pamba te bazali bana oyo babotami na nzela ya kindumba.
5 For their mother was a prostitute who conceived them in a shameful way. She said, ‘I'll run after my lovers who give me my food and water, my wool and flax and olive oil, and my drink.’
Mama na bango atambolaki na kindumba, mpe ye oyo abotaki bango azali mwasi ya lokumu te. Alobaki: « Nakolanda bamakangu na ngai, oyo bapesaka ngai bilei mpe mayi, bilamba ya lino mpe bilamba basala na bapwale ya meme, mafuta mpe masanga. »
6 That is why I am going to block her path with thorn bushes, and build a stone wall to stop her so she won't find her way.
Yango wana, nakokangela ye nzela na banzube, nakotongela ye mir mpo ete akoka lisusu komona nzela te.
7 When she runs after her lovers she won't catch up with them; she'll look for them but she won't find them. Then she'll say, ‘Let me go back to my former husband, because it was better for me then than now.’
Akolanda bamakangu na ye, kasi akozwa bango te; akoluka bango, kasi akomona bango te. Bongo akoloba: « Tika nazongela mobali na ngai ya liboso; pamba te elongo na mobali ya liboso, nazalaki na esengo koleka sik’oyo! »
8 She doesn't consider that it was me who gave her grain, new wine, and olive oil; the silver and the gold which I gave her abundantly that they made into an idol of Baal.
Asosolaki te ete ngai nde nazalaki kopesa ye ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta; ete ngai nde nasopelaki ye palata mpe wolo oyo basaleli bikeko ya Bala.
9 So I will take back my ripened grain and my new wine I gave at harvest time. I will take back my wool and my flax I provided to cover her nakedness.
Yango wana, nakobotola ble na ngai na tango ya kobuka, vino na ngai ya sika na tango ya kokamola yango; nakobotola bilamba na ngai oyo basala na bapwale ya meme, mpe bilamba na ngai ya lino oyo azalaki kozipa na yango bolumbu na ye.
10 I will strip her naked while her lovers watch; no one will be able to rescue her from me.
Boye, nakosambwisa ye na miso ya bamakangu na ye, mpe moto moko te akobikisa ye na maboko na ngai.
11 I will put a stop to all her festivities: her feasts, new moon celebrations, special Sabbaths—all her festivals.
Nakosukisa bisengo na ye nyonso: bafeti na ye ya mobu na mobu mpe ya ebandeli ya sanza, mikolo na ye ya Saba mpe bafeti nyonso oyo ekatama.
12 I will destroy her vines and fig trees that she said were given to her as payment for being a prostitute. I will turn them into scrub-land; only wild animals will eat the remaining fruit.
Nakobebisa bilanga na ye ya vino mpe banzete na ye ya figi oyo azalaki koloba na tina na yango: « Ezali bakado oyo bamakangu na ngai bapesaki ngai; » nakokomisa yango matiti ya zamba, mpe banyama ya zamba ekolia yango.
13 I will punish her for all the times she offered incense to Baal, dressing herself up, putting on rings and jewelry, going after her lovers, but forgetting about me, declares the Lord.
Nakopesa ye etumbu mpo na mikolo nyonso oyo atumbelaki nzambe ya Bala malasi ya ansa. Azalaki kolata babiju mpe mayaka ya talo mpo na kokende epai ya bamakangu na ye; kasi ngai, abosanaki Ngai, elobi Yawe.
14 See what I'm going to do! I will win her back, taking her into the desert where I will speak to her heart-to-heart.
Yango wana, nakobuka ye motema, nakomema ye na esobe; mpe kuna, nakoloba na motema na ye maloba na bolingo.
15 There I will return her vineyards to her and make the Valley of Achor a door of hope. There she will respond to me as she did when she was young, as in the time when she left the land of Egypt.
Kuna nde nakozongisela ye bilanga na ye ya vino mpe nakokomisa Lubwaku ya Akori ekuke ya elikya. Kuna, akoyanola na esengo lokola na tango ya bolenge na ye, lokola na mokolo oyo abimaki na Ejipito.
16 Then on that day, says the Lord, you will call me ‘my husband’ and not ‘my Baal.’
Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, okobenga ngai: « Mobali na ngai ya libala; » okobenga ngai lisusu te: « Nkolo na ngai. »
17 I will stop her appealing to the Baals—their names won't be mentioned ever again.
Nakolongola na bibebu na ye bakombo ya banzambe ya Bala; bakobelela lisusu bakombo na yango te.
18 At that time I will make a solemn agreement with the wild animals and the birds of the sky and the creeping things of the ground. I will do away with the bow and the sword; I will abolish war from the land so you can lie down in safety.
Na mokolo wana, nakosala boyokani mpo na bango elongo na banyama ya zamba, bandeke ya likolo, mpe bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu. Nakobuka tolotolo mpe mopanga, mpe nakosilisa bitumba: nyonso wana ekosila na mokili mpo ete bato nyonso bavanda na kimia.
19 I will make you my wife forever; I will make you my wife in goodness and justice and love and mercy.
Nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai mpo na libela, nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai na solo mpe na bosembo, na bolingo mpe na esengo.
20 I will be faithful to you, my wife, and you will know me as the Lord.
Nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai na solo; mpe na bongo, okoyeba Yawe malamu.
21 On that day, declares the Lord, I will answer the heavens and they will answer the earth.
Na mokolo wana, nakoyanola, elobi Yawe, nakoyanola Lola, mpe Lola ekoyanola mabele.
22 The earth will answer the grain, and the new wine, and the olive oil, and they shall answer, ‘Jezreel’ (God sows).
Mabele ekoyanola ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta. Bongo, yango nyonso ekoyanola Jizireyeli.
23 I will ‘sow’ her for myself in the earth. I will love Lo-ruhamah (unloved) and I will say ‘you are my people’ to Lo-ammi (not my people), and they will say ‘You are my God.’”
Nakolona ye mpo na Ngai moko kati na mokili mpo ete azala lokola nzete ya elanga na Ngai; nakotalisa bolingo na Ngai epai na ye oyo nazalaki kobenga Lo-Rukama. Nakoloba na bato oyo nazalaki kobenga Lo-Ami: « Bozali bato na Ngai, » mpe bango bakoloba: « Ozali Nzambe na biso. »
