Hosea 7
1 When I woulde haue healed Israel, then the iniquitie of Ephraim was discouered, and the wickednesse of Samaria: for they haue dealt falsly: and the theefe commeth in, and the robber spoyleth without.
Tango kaka nalingaki kobikisa Isalaele, masumu ya Efrayimi mpe mabe ya Samari ebimaki na pwasa, mpo ete batambolaki na lokuta; miyibi babukaki bandako mpe bato mabe babotolaki bato biloko kati na babalabala.
2 And they consider not in their hearts, that I remember all their wickednes: now their owne inuentions haue beset them about: they are in my sight.
Bamilobelaka te, kati na mitema na bango, ete Ngai nabosanaka te mabe nyonso oyo basalaka; sik’oyo, misala na bango ya mabe ezingeli bango, ezali tango nyonso liboso na Ngai.
3 They make the King glad with their wickednesse, and the princes with their lies.
Basepelisaka mokonzi na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe; basepelisaka mpe bakambi na nzela ya lokuta na bango.
4 They are all adulterers, and as a very ouen heated by ye baker, which ceaseth from raysing vp, and from kneading ye dough vntill it be leauened.
Bango nyonso bazali bandumba, bapelaka na posa lokola moto ya fulu ya mapa, oyo molambi mapa akobaka te kobakisa koni, wuta na tango asangisaki farine kino mapa evimba.
5 This is the day of our King: the princes haue made him sicke with flagons of wine: he stretcheth out his hand to scorners.
Na mokolo ya feti ya mokonzi na biso, bakambi balangwaka masanga mpe mokonzi asanganaka na batioli.
6 For they haue made ready their heart like an ouen whiles they lie in waite: their baker sleepeth all the night: in the morning it burneth as a flame of fire.
Wana mitema na bango epelaka lokola moto ya fulu, bapusanaka pene na ye na mayele mabe. Butu mobimba, balalaka na kanda; mpe na tongo, kanda yango ekomaka kopela lokola moto.
7 They are all hote as an ouen, and haue deuoured their iudges: all their Kings are fallen: there is none among them that calleth vnto me.
Bango nyonso bapelaka lokola moto ya fulu, batumbaka bakambi na bango; mpe bakonzi na bango nyonso bakweyaka, moko te kati na bango abelelaka Ngai.
8 Ephraim hath mixt himselfe among the people. Ephraim is as a cake on the hearth not turned.
Efrayimi asangani na bikolo mosusu, akomi lokola galeti oyo ebela malamu te.
9 Strangers haue deuoured his strength, and he knoweth it not: yea, gray heares are here and there vpon him, yet he knoweth not.
Bapaya bazali kosilisa ye makasi, kasi ye azali kososola yango te. Azali kokoma mobange, kasi azali kososola yango te.
10 And the pride of Israel testifieth to his face, and they doe not returne to the Lord their God, nor seeke him for all this.
Lolendo ya Isalaele ezali kofunda ye, kasi azali komona nyonso wana pamba: azongeli te Yawe, Nzambe na ye; mpe atako bongo, azali kaka koluka Ye te!
11 Ephraim also is like a doue deceiued, without heart: they call to Egypt: they go to Asshur.
Efrayimi akomi lokola ebenga oyo ekosamaka na bopete mpe ezangi mayele: azali kosenga lisungi epai ya Ejipito, kasi azali mpe kokende na Asiri.
12 But when they shall go, I will spred my net vpon them, and drawe them downe as the foules of the heauen: I will chastice them as their congregation hath heard.
Tango akendaka, nabwakelaka ye monyama mpe nakangaka ye ndenge bakangaka ndeke na likolo. Nakopesa ye etumbu oyo ekoki kolanda ndenge nakebisaki ye na tina na yango kati na lisanga.
13 Wo vnto them: for they haue fled away from me: destruction shalbe vnto them, because they haue transgressed against me: though I haue redeemed them, yet they haue spoken lyes against me.
Mawa na bango mpo ete bakimi mosika na Ngai! Tika ete babebisama mpo ete batombokeli Ngai! Wana nazalaki na Ngai kokangola bango, kasi bango, basepelaki kokosela Ngai makambo!
14 And they haue not cryed vnto me with their hearts, when they houled vpon their beds: they assembled themselues for corne, and wine, and they rebell against me.
Babelelaka Ngai te wuta na mozindo ya mitema na bango, kasi balelaka na bambeto na bango. Tango bamikataka banzoloko mpo na kozwa ble mpe vino ya sika, bakomaka nde mosika na Ngai.
15 Though I haue boud and strengthened their arme, yet doe they imagine mischiefe against me.
Ezali Ngai nde nateyaki mpe nakomisaki bango makasi, kasi bango bazalaka kaka na mabongisi ya kosala Ngai mabe.
16 They returne, but not to the most high: they are like a deceitfull bowe: their princes shall fall by the sword, for the rage of their tongues: this shall be their derision in the land of Egypt.
Bazongelaka te Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bazali lokola tolotolo ebeba; bakambi na bango bakokufa na mopanga likolo ya maloba na bango ezanga limemia. Mpo na yango, bakosambwa kati na Ejipito.
