< Micah 7 >

1 Woe is me, for I am as the sommer gatherings, and as the grapes of the vintage: there is no cluster to eate: my soule desired the first ripe fruites.
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 The good man is perished out of the earth, and there is none righteous among men: they all lye in wayte for blood: euery man hunteth his brother with a net.
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 To make good for the euil of their hands, the prince asked, and the iudge iudgeth for a reward: therefore the great man he speaketh out the corruption of his soule: so they wrapt it vp.
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 The best of them is as a brier, and the most righteous of them is sharper then a thorne hedge: the day of thy watchmen and thy visitation commeth: then shalbe their 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 Trust ye not in a friend, neither put ye confidence in a counseller: keepe the doores of thy mouth from her that lyeth in thy bosome.
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 the sonne reuileth the father: ye daughter riseth vp against her mother: the daughter in lawe against her mother in lawe, and a mans enemies are the men of his owne house.
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 Therefore I will looke vnto the Lord: I will waite for God my Sauiour: my God will heare me.
Kasi mpo na ngai, nakotia elikya na ngai epai na Yawe, nakotalela Nzambe, Mobikisi na ngai; Nzambe na ngai akoyoka ngai.
8 Reioyce not against me, O mine enemie: though I fall, I shall arise: when I shall sit in darkenesse, the Lord shalbe a light vnto me.
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 beare the wrath of the Lord because I haue sinned against him, vntill he pleade my cause, and execute iudgement for me: then will he bring me foorth to the light, and I shall see his righteousnesse.
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 she that is mine enemie, shall looke vpon it, and shame shall couer her, which said vnto me, Where is the Lord thy God? Mine eyes shall behold her: now shall she be troden downe as the myre of the streetes.
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 This is ye day, that thy walles shalbe built: this day shall driue farre away the decree.
Mokolo ya kotonga lisusu bamir na yo ekoya; ezali mokolo wana nde bandelo ya mokili na yo ekopusama lisusu mosika.
12 In this day also they shall come vnto thee from Asshur, and from the strong cities, and from the strong holdes euen vnto the riuer, and from Sea to Sea, and from mountaine to mountaine.
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 Notwithstanding, the lande shall be desolate because of them that dwell therein, and for the fruites of their inuentions.
Mokili ekobebisama likolo ya bato wana, likolo ya bizaleli na bango ya mabe.
14 Feed thy people with thy rod, the flocke of thine heritage (which dwell solitarie in the wood) as in the middes of Carmel: let them feede in Bashan and Gilead, as in olde time.
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 According to the dayes of thy comming out of the lande of Egypt, will I shewe vnto him marueilous things.
Nakomonisa yo makambo ya kokamwa lokola na tango obimaki na Ejipito.
16 The nations shall see, and be confounded for all their power: they shall lay their hande vpon their mouth: their eares shall be deafe.
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 shall licke the dust like a serpent: they shall mooue out of their holes like wormes: they shalbe afraide of the Lord our God, and shall feare because of thee.
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 vnto thee, that taketh away iniquitie, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of his heritage! He reteineth not his wrath for euer, because mercie pleaseth him.
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 He will turne againe, and haue compassion vpon vs: he will subdue our iniquities, and cast all their sinnes into the bottome 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 Thou wilt perfourme thy trueth to Iaakob, and mercie to Abraham, as thou hast sworne vnto our fathers in olde time.
Okomonisa Jakobi bosembo na Yo, mpe Abrayami, bolamu na Yo, ndenge olapaki ndayi epai ya batata na biso na tango ya kala.
