Micah 6
1 Listen to what the Lord is saying. Stand up and plead your case. Let the mountains and the hills hear your voice.
Boyoka makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Telema mpe samba likambo na yo liboso ya bangomba, mpe tika ete bangomba mikuse eyoka makambo oyo ozali koloba!
2 And now, mountains, hear the Lord's argument. Listen, everlasting foundations of the earth, for the Lord has a case against his people. He will bring charges against Israel.
Bino bangomba mpe bino miboko oyo eninganaka te, boyoka likambo oyo Yawe afundeli bato na Ye, pamba te azwi bango na likambo mpe alingi kosamba na Isalaele.
3 My people, what have I done to you? What is it that I have done to make you tired of me?
Bino bato na Ngai, nasali bino penza nini? Boyanola Ngai nanu, nalembisi bino na likambo nini?
4 For I brought you out of the land of Egypt and rescued you from slavery. I sent Moses, Aaron, and Miriam to lead you.
Ezali te mpo ete nabimisaki bino na Ejipito to mpo ete nakangolaki bino na ndako ya bowumbu? Boni, ezali te mpo ete natindelaki bino Moyize, Aron mpe Miriami mpo ete bakamba bino?
5 My people, remember what Balak, king of Moab, planned to do, and what Balaam, son of Beor, told him, and what happened from Shittim to Gilgal, so you could know all the good things the Lord does.
Bato na Ngai, bokanisa nanu makambo oyo Balaki, mokonzi ya Moabi, akanaki kosala bino, mpe makambo oyo Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, azongiselaki ye. Bokanisa nanu nzela oyo botambolaki longwa na Sitimi kino na Giligali mpo ete bokoka kondima ata misala ya bosembo ya Yawe. »
6 What should I take with me when I approach the Lord, when I bow down before the God of heaven? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Eloko nini penza tokoki komema epai na Yawe mpo na kofukama liboso ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo? Boni, tomema bambeka ya kotumba to bana ngombe ya mibali ya mobu moko?
7 Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams, or ten thousand rivers of olive oil? Shall I sacrifice my firstborn child for my rebellion, my own flesh and blood for the sins I have committed?
Yawe akosepela solo soki tomemeli Ye minkoko ya bameme ya mibali to soki topesi Ye mafuta ebele lokola mayi ya ebale? Boni, topesa solo bana na biso ya liboso mpo ete tozwa bolimbisi masumu na biso? Boni, topesa bana na biso ya mibali oyo bawuti na mikongo na biso mpo ete akoka kolongola masumu na biso?
8 The Lord has told you what is good, and what the Lord asks from you: to do what is right, to love kindness, and to walk in humility with your God.
Oh moto, bateyaki yo makambo oyo ezali malamu. Mpe tala makambo oyo Yawe azali kosenga epai na yo: Tambola na bosembo, linga boboto mpe tambola elongo na Nzambe na yo na komikitisa.
9 The voice of the Lord calls to the city—to respect your name is to be wise—pay attention to the rod and who summoned it.
Boyoka! Yawe azali kobelela na engumba! Kotosa Kombo na Ye, yango nde kozala na bwanya. Boyoka sango ya etumbu na bino na monoko na Ye oyo atindi yango!
10 Are there still ill-gotten gains in the houses of the wicked? Are they still using dishonest measures in selling grain?
Oh libota ya mobulu, boni, nasepela penza komona bomengo na bino, oyo bosili kozwa na nzela ya mabe, Efa ekoka te oyo elakelama mabe?
11 How can I accept those who use unfair scales and dishonest weights?
Boni, nazanga penza kopesa etumbu epai ya moto oyo asalelaka kilo ya lokuta, mpe oyo azali na libenga etonda na bimekelo kilo ya lokuta?
12 Your rich people make money by using violence; they tell lies and practice deceit.
Bazwi ya libota oyo batondi na kanza, bato ya libota oyo batondi na lokuta, mpe mosala ya bibebu na bango ezali kaka kokosa.
13 So I will strike you to make you ill; I will ruin you because of your sins.
Yango wana, Ngai nakobeta yo na nzela ya pasi mpe nakobebisa yo mpo na masumu na yo.
14 You will eat, but never be satisfied; inside you will still feel hungry. Even though you try to save money, what you save won't be worth anything because I will give it to the sword.
Okolia, kasi okotonda te, pamba te nzala makasi ekokota na ndako na yo. Okosala ekonzo, kasi okobatela eloko moko te, pamba te nakokaba yango na mopanga.
15 You will sow, but you won't reap; you will press your olives, but not use the oil; you will make your wine, but drink none of it.
Okolona bilanga, kasi okobuka bambuma te; okokamola bambuma ya olive, kasi okomipakola mafuta na yango te; okokamola bambuma ya vino, kasi okomela masanga na yango te.
16 You have kept the laws of Omri, and adopted all the practices of the house of Ahab, you have followed their ways. So I will make your country desolate and the people who live there an object of scorn; you will bear the shame of my people.
Lokola obatelaki malako ya Omiri mpe osalaki misala nyonso ya mabe ya ndako ya Akabi, nakokaba yo mpo ete obebisama, nakokaba bato na yo mpo ete batiolama; bongo bokolata soni ya libota na Ngai.
