Micah 7
1 I'm totally miserable! I've become like someone trying to glean summer fruit after the grape harvest is over. I can't find any grapes to eat, and there are no early figs that I love.
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 All the good people in the country are gone, there's no one who does right left anywhere. Everyone is looking to murder others; they try to trap even their own brothers.
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 They are experts at evil; both officials and judges ask for bribes; the powerful demand their evil desires; and they scheme together to get what they want.
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 Even the best of them is like a thorny bush, the most honest like a thorn hedge. Your day of judgment that was announced by the prophets, your time of punishment, has arrived. You'rethrown into complete confusion.
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 Don't trust a neighbor, don't rely on a friend. Watch what you say even to the one who lies in your arms.
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 a son treats his father with contempt; a daughter opposes her mother, and a daughter-in-law her mother-in-law. Your enemies are members of your own family.
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 as for me, I look to the Lord. I will wait for the God who saves me. 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 Don't gloat over me, my enemies! Even though I fall, I will rise again. Though 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 endure the Lord's anger because I have sinned against him. But after that he will argue my case and give me justice. He will bring me into the light and I will see his integrity.
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 Then my enemies will see it and cover their faces in shame for taunting me, asking, “Where is the Lord your God?” With my own eyes I will see what happens to them; they will be trodden down like mud in 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 On that day it will be time to build your walls. On that day your boundaries will be extended.
Mokolo ya kotonga lisusu bamir na yo ekoya; ezali mokolo wana nde bandelo ya mokili na yo ekopusama lisusu mosika.
12 On that day people will come from Assyria and the cities of Egypt, from Egypt to the Euphrates River, from sea to sea, 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 But the rest of the earth will become desolate because of what those who live there have done.
Mokili ekobebisama likolo ya bato wana, likolo ya bizaleli na bango ya mabe.
14 Protect your people with your shepherd's rod. Take care of your flock, your special people, who live alone in the wilderness and in cultivated land. Let them feed in Basham and Gilead as they did long ago.
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 Like the time when you left the land of Egypt, I will do miracles for you.
Nakomonisa yo makambo ya kokamwa lokola na tango obimaki na Ejipito.
16 The nations will see, and they will be humiliated despite their strength. They will cover their mouths with their hands, and their ears shall become 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 will lick the dust like snakes; they will be like the creepy-crawlies of the earth. They will come trembling from their fortresses to meet the Lord our God, fearful and afraid before him.
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 you who forgives sin and passes over the rebellion of those who are left of his special people? You do not remain angry forever because you delight in showing faithful love.
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 You will have compassion on us again. You will tread our sins under your feet, and you will throw our sins into the depths 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 You will give your trustworthy truth to the people of Jacob, your faithful love to the people of Abraham, as you promised our forefathers long ago.
Okomonisa Jakobi bosembo na Yo, mpe Abrayami, bolamu na Yo, ndenge olapaki ndayi epai ya batata na biso na tango ya kala.
