Habakkuk 1
1 The burden, which Habakkuk the Prophet did see.
Tala liloba oyo mosakoli Abakuki azwaki na emoniseli:
2 O Lord, howe long shall I crye, and thou wilt not heare! euen crye out vnto thee for violence, and thou wilt not helpe!
Oh Yawe, kino tango nini nasengeli kobelela Yo mpo ete osunga, kasi ozali koyoka te? Nazali koganga epai na Yo: « Minyoko eleki! » kasi ozali kaka kobikisa te!
3 Why doest thou shewe mee iniquitie, and cause me to beholde sorowe? for spoyling, and violence are before me: and there are that rayse vp strife and contention.
Mpo na nini ozali kolakisa ngai makambo mabe ya boye? Mpo na nini ozali kosala eloko moko te? Liboso na ngai, nazali kaka komona libebi mpe makambo mabe, bato bazali kaka koswana mpe kofundana.
4 Therefore the Lawe is dissolued, and iudgement doeth neuer go forth: for the wicked doeth compasse about the righteous: therefore wrong iudgement proceedeth.
Yango wana bato bazali kotosa lisusu mibeko te, bazali kokata lisusu makambo na bosembo te. Bato mabe bazali kolonga liboso ya bato ya sembo, makambo ezali lisusu kokatama na bosembo te.
5 Beholde among the heathen, and regarde, and wonder, and maruaile: for I will worke a worke in your dayes: yee will not beleeue it, though it be tolde you.
Botala nanu malamu bikolo mosusu mpe bokokamwa penza, pamba te nakosala likambo moko na tango na bino, likambo oyo bokondima te soki bayebisi bino yango.
6 For lo, I raise vp the Caldeans, that bitter and furious nation, which shall goe vpon the breadth of the lande to possesse the dwelling places, that are not theirs.
Nakotindela bino bato ya Babiloni, bato ya mitema mabe, oyo bayokelaka bato mawa te: batambolaka mokili mobimba mpo na kobotola bato bisika na bango ya losambo na makasi.
7 They are terrible and fearefull: their iudgement and their dignitie shall proceede of theselues.
Bazali bato ya somo mpe bato oyo babangisaka, basalaka makambo nyonso oyo bazali na yango posa, mpe moto moko te amekaka kotelemela bango.
8 Their horses also are swifter then the leopards, and are more fierce then the wolues in the euening: and their horsemen are many: and their horsemen shall come from farre: they shall flie as the eagle hasting to meate.
Bampunda na bango ekimaka mbangu koleka ata nkoyi, ezalaka na kanda makasi koleka ata mbwa ya zamba oyo ebimaka na pokwa mpo na koluka nyama ya kolia. Basoda na bango oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda batambolaka mbangu makasi mpe bawutaka mosika penza, bapumbwaka lokola mpongo soki ezali kokita na elulu mpo na kokanga nyama ya kolia.
9 They come all to spoyle: before their faces shalbe an Eastwinde, and they shall gather the captiuitie, as the sand.
Bango nyonso bayaka nzela moko mpo na kotia mobulu, bakendaka kaka liboso lokola mopepe ya este, bazwaka bakangami ebele ndenge balokotaka mbuma ya zelo.
10 And they shall mocke the Kings, and the princes shalbe a skorne vnto them: they shall deride euery strong holde: for they shall gather dust, and take it.
Batiolaka bakonzi mpe basekaka bakambi, basekaka bingumba batonga makasi, batondisaka mabele pembeni ya bamir mpo ete bamata likolo na yango mpe bakota na engumba mpo na kobotola yango,
11 Then shall they take a courage, and transgresse and doe wickedly, imputing this their power vnto their god.
balekaka lokola mopepe mpe bakobaka nzela na bango, basepelaka kosala mabe, mpe makasi na bango nde ezali nzambe na bango.
12 Art thou not of olde, O Lord my God, mine holy one? we shall not die: O Lord, thou hast ordeined them for iudgement, and O God, thou hast established them for correction.
Boni, ozali Yawe te wuta na ebandeli? Ozali Nzambe na ngai, Mosantu na ngai, okufaka te. Oh Yawe, oponaki bango mpo na kosambisa biso; mpe Yo Libanga na ngai, olendisaki bango mpo na kopesa biso etumbu.
13 Thou art of pure eyes, and canst not see euill: thou canst not behold wickednesse: wherefore doest thou looke vpon the transgressors, and holdest thy tongue when the wicked deuoureth the man, that is more righteous then he?
Miso na Yo ezali peto koleka, okoki kotala mabe te. Mpo na nini ozali kotala makambo mabe? Mpo na nini ozali kotala bato mabe na miso? Mpo na nini ovandi kimia wana bato mabe bazali konyokola bato oyo baleki bango na bosembo?
14 And makest men as the fishes of the sea, and as the creeping things, that haue no ruler ouer them.
Okomisi bato lokola bambisi ya ebale, lokola banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu mpe ezanga mokonzi.
15 They take vp all with the angle: they catch it in their net, and gather it in their yarne, whereof they reioyce and are glad.
Moto mabe azwaka yango nyonso na ndobo, akangaka yango na monyama mpe atiaka yango na kitunga. Yango wana asepelaka mpe atondaka na esengo.
16 Therefore they sacrifice vnto their net, and burne incense vnto their yarne, because by them their portion is fat and their meat plenteous.
Bongo abonzelaka monyama na ye mbeka, atumbelaka kitunga na ye ansa; pamba te na nzela ya monyama mpe ya kitunga na ye, azwaka bambisi ebele mpe bilei ya kitoko.
17 Shall they therefore stretch out their net and not spare continually to slay the nations?
Boni, akosepela solo kotika ete monyama na ye ezanga mbisi na kokoba koboma bato na mawa te?
