Hosea 9
1 Rejoice not, O Israel, for gladness, as other people; for thou art gone astray, unfaithful to thy God: thou hast loved the wages of sin upon every corn-filled threshing-floor.
Isalaele, kosepela te; kozala na esengo te lokola bikolo mosusu; pamba te otikaki Nzambe na yo mpe okendeki kosala kindumba; osepelaki na lifuti ya kindumba na bitando nyonso oyo batutelaka ble.
2 The threshing-floor and the wine-press shall not feed them, and the new wine shall deceive them.
Etando oyo batutelaka ble mpe ekamolelo masanga ya vino ekopesa bango bilei te, mpe bakozanga vino ya sika.
3 They shall not dwell in the land of the Lord; but Ephraim shall return to Egypt, and in Assyria will they eat unclean things.
Bakovanda lisusu te na mboka na Yawe; Efrayimi akozonga na Ejipito, mpe bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na Asiri.
4 They shall not pour out wine to the Lord, and [their offerings] shall not be pleasing unto him; their sacrifices shall be unto them as the bread of mourners; all that eat thereof shall be polluted: for this their food can only be for themselves, it shall not come into the house of the Lord.
Bakobonzela lisusu Yawe makabo ya masanga ya vino te, mpe bambeka na bango ekosepelisa lisusu Yawe te. Ekozala mpo na bango lokola bilei ya matanga: bato nyonso oyo bakolia yango bakokoma mbindo; pamba te bilei na bango ekozala kaka mpo na mabumu na bango, kasi ekokota te na Tempelo ya Yawe.
5 What will ye do on the day of the appointed festival, and on the day of the feast of the Lord?
Boye, bokosala nini na mikolo ya bafeti oyo ekatama, na mikolo ya bafeti ya Yawe?
6 For, lo, they are gone forth because of the desolation: Egypt will gather them up, Moph will bury them: the pleasant chambers for their silver, —these shall nettles take possession of; thorns shall [grow] in their tents.
Ata soki bakimi, bakobebisama; Ejipito ekoyamba bango, Mefisi ekozala kunda na bango; matiti mabe ekotonda na bibombelo palata na bango, banzube ekotonda kati na bandako na bango.
7 Come are the days of the visitation, come are the days of thy recompense; this shall Israel experience: a fool was the prophet, mad the inspired man, because of the greatness of thy iniquity, and the great hatefulness.
Mikolo ya etumbu ezali koya, mikolo ya kofuta masumu esili koya. Isalaele, yeba yango! Mosakoli akomi zoba, moto ya Molimo abeli liboma! Pamba te masumu na yo ekomi ebele penza, mpe mabe na yo ekomi mingi liboso na ngai.
8 The watchman of Ephraim with my God, the prophet, was a snare of the fowler on all his ways, a hateful thing in the house of his god.
Mokengeli ya Efrayimi azali elongo na Nzambe na ngai, azali mosakoli; Nzokande bazali kotiela ye mitambo na banzela na ye nyonso mpe bazali kotelemela ye kino na Ndako ya Nzambe na ye.
9 They are deeply corrupt, as in the days of Gib'ah: he will remember their iniquity, he will visit their sins.
Bamikotisi penza kati na mabe ndenge basalaki na mikolo ya Gibea. Nzambe akobosana mabe na bango te mpe akopesa bango etumbu mpo na masumu na bango.
10 Like grapes in the wilderness had I found Israel; as the first ripe fruit on the fig-tree in the first of the season had I seen your fathers; but they too went to Ba'al-pe'or: and devoted themselves unto that shameful idol, and became abominations as those they loved.
Tango namonaki Isalaele, azalaki lokola bambuma ya vino kati na esobe. Tango namonaki bakoko na bino, bazalaki lokola bambuma ya liboso ya nzete ya figi. Kasi tango bakomaki na Bala Peori, bamipesaki na nzambe oyo ya ekeko ya soni mpe bakomaki nkele lokola eloko oyo bango balingaki.
11 As for Ephraim, their glory shall fly away like a bird: there is no more birth, and no pregnancy, and no conception.
Nkembo ya Efrayimi ekokima lokola ndeke, wuta na mbotama, wuta na zemi, wuta na ebandeli ya zemi.
12 But though they were to bring up their children, yet would I bereave them, that there should be no man: yea, woe also to themselves, when I depart from them!
Ezala soki babokoli bana, nakobotola bango liboso ete bakola. Solo, mawa na bango tango nakopesa bango mokongo!
13 Ephraim, as I have seen him like Tyre, planted in a pleasant meadow, —yet this Ephraim shall lead forth to the murderer his children.
Nazali komona Efrayimi lokola engumba Tiri oyo etongama na likolo ya mabele ya kitoko; nzokande, Efrayimi akokaba bana na ye na mobomi.
14 Give them, O Lord, what thou wilt give! give them a miscarrying womb and dried-up breasts.
Oh Yawe, pesa bango… Okopesa bango nini? Pesa bango mabumu oyo esopaka bazemi, mpe mabele oyo ekawuka.
15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal; for there I [learnt to] hate them; for the wickedness of their doings will I drive them out of my house: I will love them no farther; all their princes are rebels.
Nayinaki bango mpo na mabe na bango nyonso oyo basalaki na Giligali; Nakobengana bango na Ndako na Ngai mpo na misala na bango ya mabe. Nakolinga bango lisusu te, pamba te bakonzi na bango nyonso bazali batomboki.
16 Smitten is Ephraim, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit; yea, though they should bring forth, yet would I slay the beloved fruit of their body.
Efrayimi alembi, misisa na ye ekawuki; akobota lisusu bambuma te; ata soki baboti bana, nakoboma bana na bango oyo balingaka mingi.
17 My God will reject them, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
Nzambe na ngai akobwaka bango, pamba te batosaki Ye te, mpe bakokoma koyengayenga kati na bikolo.
