< Micah 6 >

1 Hearken ye nowe what the Lord sayth, Arise thou, and contende before the mountaines, and let the hilles heare thy voyce.
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 Heare ye, O mountaynes, the Lordes quarel, and ye mightie foundations of the earth: for the Lord hath a quarell against his people, and he will pleade with 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 O my people, what haue I done vnto thee? or wherin haue I grieued thee? testifie against me.
Bino bato na Ngai, nasali bino penza nini? Boyanola Ngai nanu, nalembisi bino na likambo nini?
4 Surely I brought thee vp out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed thee out of the house of seruants, and I haue sent before thee, Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
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 O my people, remember nowe what Balak King of Moab had deuised, and what Balaam the sonne of Beor answered him, from Shittim vnto Gilgal, that ye may knowe the righteousnes of the Lord.
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 Wherewith shall I come before the Lord, and bowe my selfe before the hie God? Shall I come before him with burnt offrings, and with calues of a yeere olde?
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 with ten thousand riuers of oyle? shall I giue my first borne for my transgression, euen the fruite of my bodie, for the sinne of my soule?
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 He hath shewed thee, O man, what is good, and what the Lord requireth of thee: surely to doe iustly, and to loue mercie, and to humble thy selfe, to walke with thy 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 Lordes voyce cryeth vnto the citie, and the man of wisedome shall see thy name: Heare the rodde, and who hath appoynted 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 yet the treasures of wickednes in the house of the wicked, and the scant measure, that is abominable?
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 Shall I iustifie the wicked balances, and the bag of deceitfull weightes?
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 For the rich men thereof are full of crueltie, and the inhabitants thereof haue spoken lyes, and their tongue is deceitfull in their mouth.
Bazwi ya libota oyo batondi na kanza, bato ya libota oyo batondi na lokuta, mpe mosala ya bibebu na bango ezali kaka kokosa.
13 Therefore also will I make thee sicke in smiting thee, and in making thee desolate, because of thy sinnes.
Yango wana, Ngai nakobeta yo na nzela ya pasi mpe nakobebisa yo mpo na masumu na yo.
14 Thou shalt eate and not be satisfied, and thy casting downe shall be in the mids of thee, and thou shalt take holde, but shalt not deliuer: and that which thou deliuerest, will I giue vp to the sworde.
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 Thou shalt sowe, but not reape: thou shalt treade the oliues, but thou shalt not anoint thee with oyle, and make sweete wine, but shalt not drinke wine.
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 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the maner of the house of Ahab, and ye walke in their counsels, that I should make thee waste, and the inhabitants thereof an hissing: therefore ye shall beare the reproche 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.
