< Micah 3 >
1 Then I said, “Please listen, leaders of the descendants of Jacob, people of Israel. You are meant to know the difference between right and wrong,
Boye, nalobaki: « Boyoka, bino bakambi ya libota ya Jakobi, bino batambolisi ya libota ya Isalaele! Ezali bino te bato bosengeli koyeba malamu mibeko?
2 you who hate good and love evil! You tear off their skin, and rip the flesh from their bones.
Nzokande, ezali bino bato bozali koboya bolamu mpe bozali kolinga mabe. Bozali kolongola poso ya nzoto ya bato ya libota na ngai, bozali kolongola misuni na bango mpe kobuka mikuwa na bango.
3 You eat the flesh of my people, you strip off their skin, you break their bones. You chop them up like meat for the saucepan, like flesh for the cooking pot.”
Bozali kodunda misuni ya bato ya libota na ngai, bozali kolongola bango poso ya nzoto mpe kobuka mikuwa na bango. Bozali kokata bango mike-mike lokola misuni oyo bakalingaka to oyo batokisaka na nzungu. »
4 Then they'll cry out to the Lord, but he won't answer them. He will turn away from them at that time because of the evil things they have done.
Yango wana, tango bakobelela Yawe, akoyanola bango te. Na tango wana, akobombela bango elongi na Ye likolo ya mabe na bango nyonso oyo basalaki.
5 This is what the Lord says about the prophets who deceive my people. To those who feed them they prophesy peace to them, while to those who do not they prophesy war against them.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na kotelemela basakoli ya lokuta oyo babungisaka bato na ngai nzela: « Soki bapesi bango eloko ya kolia, basakolaka kimia; soki bapesi bango te eloko ya kolia, basakolaka bitumba.
6 Therefore it will be like night for you, with no visions; dark, with no predictions. The sun will set on these prophets; their day will end in darkness.
Na butu, bokozwa lisusu bimoniseli te. Soki bapesi bango te eloko ya kolia, molili ekozingela bino mpe bokokoka lisusu kosakola te! Moyi ekobimela lisusu basakoli yango te, mpe mokolo ekokoma molili mpo na bango.
7 The seers will be disgraced, the fortune-tellers put to shame, and they will cover their faces because none of them receive any answer from God.
Bamoni makambo bakotonda na soni, mpe bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya bakosambwa. Bango nyonso bakobomba bilongi na bango, pamba te Nzambe akoyanola bango te. »
8 But as for me, I am filled with power, with the spirit of the Lord. I am filled with justice and strength to make clear to the descendants of Jacob their rebellion, and to the people of Israel their sin.
Kasi ngai, na nzela ya Molimo na Yawe, natondisami na nguya, na bosembo mpe na mpiko mpo na kobimisa polele mabe ya Jakobi mpe lisumu ya Isalaele.
9 Listen to me, leaders of the descendants of Jacob and the people of Israel, you who hate justice and distort all that is right.
Boyoka maloba oyo, bakambi ya Jakobi mpe batambolisi ya Isalaele, bino oyo bolingaka makambo ya sembo te mpe bobongolaka makambo ya alima,
10 You are building Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with evil.
bino oyo botongaka Siona na kosopa makila, mpe Yelusalemi na kosalaka makambo mabe.
11 Your leaders judge for a bribe, and your priests teach for a price, and your prophets only prophesy for pay. Yet they all lean on the Lord saying, “Isn't the Lord here with us? Nothing bad can happen to us!”
Bakambi na yango basengaka kanyaka liboso ya kokata makambo, Banganga-Nzambe na yango basengaka misolo liboso ya koteya, mpe basakoli na yango basengaka mbongo liboso ya kosakola. Nzokande, babombamaka na sima ya Kombo ya Yawe tango balobaka: « Boni, Yawe azali kati na biso te? Pasi ekoki kokomela biso te! »
12 Therefore because of you Zion will become a ploughed field and Jerusalem a heap of rubble, and the Temple mount will be overgrown.
Yango wana, likolo na bino, bakobalola Siona ndenge babalolaka mabele ya bilanga. Yelusalemi ekokoma liboke ya mabanga, mpe ngomba epai wapi batongaki Tempelo ekokoma ngomba moke oyo ezipami na matiti.
