Amos 7
1 Thus has the Lord God showed me; and, behold, a swarm of locusts coming from the east; and, behold, one caterpillar, king Gog.
Tala makambo oyo Nkolo Yawe alakisaki ngai: Tango matiti ebandaki kobota, ebimisaki mabanki ebele. Esalemaki sima na kobuka milona ya mokonzi.
2 And it came to pass when he had finished devouring the grass of the land, that I said, Lord God, be merciful; who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number.
Tango mabanki yango esilisaki kolia matiti nyonso ya mokili, nagangaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, limbisa bato na Yo! Ndenge nini Jakobi oyo azali penza moke akoki solo kobika?
3 Repent, O Lord, for this. And this shall not be, says the Lord.
Boye, Yawe abongolaki makanisi na Ye mpe alobaki: — Makambo yango ekosalema te.
4 Thus has the Lord showed me; and, behold, the Lord called for judgment by fire, and it devoured the great deep, and devoured the Lord's portion.
Tala makambo oyo Nkolo Yawe alakisaki ngai. Nkolo Yawe asalelaki moto mpo na kopesa etumbu, bongo moto yango ekawusaki mayi minene mpe ezikisaki mokili.
5 Then I said, O Lord, cease, I pray you: who shall raise up Jacob? for he is small in number. Repent, O Lord, for this.
Boye, nagangaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, nabondeli Yo, kosala boye te! Ndenge nini Jakobi oyo azali penza moke akoki solo kobika?
6 This also shall not be, says the Lord.
Boye Yawe abongolaki makanisi na Ye. Mpe Nkolo Yawe alobaki: — Makambo yango ekosalema lisusu te.
7 Thus the Lord showed me; and behold, he stood upon a wall of adamant, and in his hand [was] an adamant.
Tala makambo oyo alakisaki ngai: Nkolo azalaki ya kotelema na likolo ya mir moko batonga na mbodi mpe, na loboko na Ye, asimbaki nivo oyo batongi ndako basalelaka.
8 And the Lord said to me, What see you, Amos? And I said, An adamant. And the Lord said to me, Behold, I appoint an adamant in the midst of my people Israel: I will not pass by them any more.
Yawe atunaki ngai: — Amosi, ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona nivo oyo batongi ndako basalelaka. Nkolo alobaki na ngai: — Tala, nakotia nivo oyo batongi ndako basalelaka na likolo ya Isalaele, bato na Ngai. Nakolimbisa bango lisusu te.
9 And the joyful altars shall be abolished, and the sacrifices of Israel shall be set aside; and I will rise up against the house of Jeroboam with the sword.
Tango nakotelemela libota ya Jeroboami na nzela ya mopanga na Ngai, nakobebisa bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ya Izaki mpe bisika ya bule ya Isalaele.
10 Then Amasias the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, Amos is forming conspiracies against you in the midst of the house of Israel: the land will be utterly unable to bear all his words.
Amatsia, Nganga-Nzambe ya Beteli, atindelaki Jeroboami, mokonzi ya Isalaele, maloba oyo: « Amosi azali kosalela yo likita mpo na kosala yo mabe kati na mokili ya Isalaele. Mokili ekoki te kondima koyokaka tango nyonso maloba na ye.
11 For thus says Amos, Jeroboam shall die by the sword, and Israel shall be led away captive from his land.
Pamba te, tala maloba oyo Amosi azali koloba: ‹ Jeroboami akokufa na mopanga, mpe Isalaele akokende na bowumbu, mosika ya mabele na ye. › »
12 And Amasias said to Amos, Go, seer, remove you into the land of Juda, and live there, and you shall prophesy there:
Amatsia alobaki na Amosi: — Yo, momoni makambo, bima na mokili na biso! Zonga na mokili ya Yuda. Kuna, okosala mbongo na masakoli na yo.
13 but you shall no longer prophesy at Bethel: for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is the royal house.
Kosakola lisusu na Beteli te, pamba te Beteli ezali Esika ya bule ya mokonzi mpe tempelo ya bokonzi.
14 And Amos answered, and said to Amasias, I was not a prophet, nor the son of a prophet; but I was a herdman, and a gatherer of sycamore fruits.
Amosi azongiselaki Amatsia: — Nazalaki mosakoli te to mwana ya mosakoli te, kasi nazalaki nde mobateli bibwele mpe moloni ya basikomori.
15 And the Lord took me from the sheep, and the Lord said to me, Go, and prophesy to my people Israel.
Kasi Yawe alongolaki ngai na mosala ya kobatela bibwele mpe alobaki na ngai: « Kende kosakola epai ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. »
16 And now hear the word of the Lord: You say, Prophesy not to Israel, and raise not a tumult against the house of Jacob.
Yoka sik’oyo Liloba na Yawe, yo oyo ozali koloba na ngai: « Tika kosakola mpo na kotelemela libota ya Isalaele mpe tika koloba mabe mpo na ndako ya Izaki! »
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Your wife shall be a harlot in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be measured with the line; and you shall die in an unclean land; and Israel shall be led captive out of his land. Thus has the Lord God showed me.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mwasi na yo akosala kindumba kati na engumba, bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi bakokufa na mopanga, bakokabola mabele na yo na biteni. Yo moko, okokufa na mabele ya mbindo, mpe Isalaele akokende solo na bowumbu, mosika ya mokili na ye ya mbotama. »
