< Micah 3 >
1 And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of Israel; [Is it] not for you to know judgment?
Boye, nalobaki: « Boyoka, bino bakambi ya libota ya Jakobi, bino batambolisi ya libota ya Isalaele! Ezali bino te bato bosengeli koyeba malamu mibeko?
2 Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them, and their flesh from off their bones;
Nzokande, ezali bino bato bozali koboya bolamu mpe bozali kolinga mabe. Bozali kolongola poso ya nzoto ya bato ya libota na ngai, bozali kolongola misuni na bango mpe kobuka mikuwa na bango.
3 Who also eat the flesh of my people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
Bozali kodunda misuni ya bato ya libota na ngai, bozali kolongola bango poso ya nzoto mpe kobuka mikuwa na bango. Bozali kokata bango mike-mike lokola misuni oyo bakalingaka to oyo batokisaka na nzungu. »
4 Then shall they cry unto the LORD, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their doings.
Yango wana, tango bakobelela Yawe, akoyanola bango te. Na tango wana, akobombela bango elongi na Ye likolo ya mabe na bango nyonso oyo basalaki.
5 Thus saith the LORD concerning the prophets that make my people err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war against him.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na kotelemela basakoli ya lokuta oyo babungisaka bato na ngai nzela: « Soki bapesi bango eloko ya kolia, basakolaka kimia; soki bapesi bango te eloko ya kolia, basakolaka bitumba.
6 Therefore night [shall be] unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
Na butu, bokozwa lisusu bimoniseli te. Soki bapesi bango te eloko ya kolia, molili ekozingela bino mpe bokokoka lisusu kosakola te! Moyi ekobimela lisusu basakoli yango te, mpe mokolo ekokoma molili mpo na bango.
7 Then shall the seers be ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for [there is] no answer of God.
Bamoni makambo bakotonda na soni, mpe bato oyo balobaka makambo oyo ekoya bakosambwa. Bango nyonso bakobomba bilongi na bango, pamba te Nzambe akoyanola bango te. »
8 But truly I am full of power by the spirit of the LORD, and of judgment, and of might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
Kasi ngai, na nzela ya Molimo na Yawe, natondisami na nguya, na bosembo mpe na mpiko mpo na kobimisa polele mabe ya Jakobi mpe lisumu ya Isalaele.
9 Hear this, I pray you, ye heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor judgment, and pervert all equity.
Boyoka maloba oyo, bakambi ya Jakobi mpe batambolisi ya Isalaele, bino oyo bolingaka makambo ya sembo te mpe bobongolaka makambo ya alima,
10 They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
bino oyo botongaka Siona na kosopa makila, mpe Yelusalemi na kosalaka makambo mabe.
11 The heads thereof judge for reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon the LORD, and say, [Is] not the LORD among us? none evil can come upon us.
Bakambi na yango basengaka kanyaka liboso ya kokata makambo, Banganga-Nzambe na yango basengaka misolo liboso ya koteya, mpe basakoli na yango basengaka mbongo liboso ya kosakola. Nzokande, babombamaka na sima ya Kombo ya Yawe tango balobaka: « Boni, Yawe azali kati na biso te? Pasi ekoki kokomela biso te! »
12 Therefore shall Zion for your sake be plowed [as] a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Yango wana, likolo na bino, bakobalola Siona ndenge babalolaka mabele ya bilanga. Yelusalemi ekokoma liboke ya mabanga, mpe ngomba epai wapi batongaki Tempelo ekokoma ngomba moke oyo ezipami na matiti.
