Micah 1
1 The word of the Lord that came to Micah the Morashthite in the days of Jotham, Achaz, [and] Hezekiah, the kings of Judah, which he foresaw concerning Samaria and Jerusalem.
Yawe alobaki na Mishe, moto ya mboka Moresheti, na tango Yotami, Akazi mpe Ezekiasi bazalaki, moko sima na mosusu, bakonzi ya Yuda: ezalaki emoniseli oyo Mishe azwaki na tina na Samari mpe Yelusalemi.
2 Hear, ye people, altogether; listen, O earth, with all that filleth it: and let the Lord Eternal be witness against you, the Lord from his holy temple.
Bino nyonso, bikolo, boyoka! Mabele elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yo, botia matoyi mpe boyoka! Nkolo Yawe azwi bino na likambo; Yawe akosambisa bino wuta na Ndako na Ye ya bule!
3 For, behold, the Lord cometh forth out of his residence; and he will come down, and will step along upon the high places of the earth.
Tala, Yawe azali koya wuta na Ndako na Ye, azali kokita, azali kotambola na likolo ya bangomba ya mabele.
4 And the mountains shall melt beneath him, and the valleys shall cleave in twain, like wax [melteth] before the fire, like water poured out on a declivity.
Na se ya matambe na Ye, bangomba ezali kopasuka, mabwaku ezali kopanzana ndenge mafuta eyandukaka na moto, ndenge mayi ya mvula etiolaka na lombangu na mipanzi ya bangomba.
5 For the transgression of Jacob is all this, and for the sins of the house of Israel. Who caused the transgression of Jacob? is it not Samaria? and who caused the high-places of Judah? is it not Jerusalem?
Mpo na nini nyonso wana? Ezali mpo na mabe ya Jakobi, mpo na masumu ya libota ya Isalaele. Nani atindikaki Jakobi na kosala mabe? Boni, ezali Samari te? Nani asalaki ete bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ezala kati na Yuda? Boni, ezali Yelusalemi te?
6 Therefore will I change Samaria into stone-heaps on the field, into vineyard plantations: and I will hurl down into the valley her stones, and her foundations will I lay open.
« Nakokomisa Samari mopiku ya mabanga; bakokoma kosala bilanga ya vino kuna. Nakobwaka mabanga na yango na lubwaku, nakosala ete miboko na yango etikala polele.
7 And all her graven images shall he beaten to pieces, and all her wages of sin shall be burnt with the fire, and all her idols will I make desolate; for from harlot's wages she gathered them, and for harlot's wages shall they be used again.
Banzambe na bango nyonso ya bikeko ekopanzana, makabo nyonso ya mbindo oyo bapesaka epai ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko ekobwakama na moto. Nakobebisa banzambe nyonso ya bikeko ya Samari mpo ete esalemaki na lifuti ya mbindo ya ekobo ya bule, mpe mpo ete basalela yango lisusu te lokola lifuti ya ekobo mosusu ya bule. »
8 For this will I lament and wail; I will go confused and naked: I will make a lament like the crocodiles, and mourning like the ostriches.
Yango wana, nakolela mpe nakosala matanga, nakotambola makolo ngulu mpe bolumbu, nakoganga lokola mbwa ya zamba mpe nakolela lokola maligbanga.
9 For her wounds arc incurable; for [the evil] is come even unto Judah; [the enemy] hath reached as far as the gate of my people, even up to Jerusalem.
Pamba te bokono ya Samari esilaka te; pota na yango ezwi mpe mokili ya Yuda, ezali kopusana kino na ekuke ya bato na ngai, kino kutu na yango moko Yelusalemi.
10 Tell it not at Gath, weep ye not loudly [there]: in Bethle'aphrah roll thyself in the dust.
Boloba yango te kati na engumba Gati, bolela te! Bato ya Beti-Leafra, bomipakola putulu!
11 Pass ye away, ye inhabitants of Shaphir, having your shame laid bare: the inhabitress of Zaanan cometh not forth [any more]; the mourning of Beth-haezel taketh from you its halting place.
Bato ya engumba Shafiri, botambola bolumbu mpe boyoka soni! Bato ya mboka Tsanani bakobima lisusu na engumba na bango te, bato ya Beti-Atseli bazali na matanga; boye balongoli lisungi na bango epai na yo.
12 For the inhabitress of Maroth is grieved for the [lost] good; because evil came down from the Lord unto the gate of Jerusalem.
Bato ya etuka ya Meroti bazali kolenga na somo mpo na bolamu na bango, pamba te Yawe atindi pasi ya makasi kino na ekuke ya Yelusalemi.
13 Bind the chariot to the swift horses, O inhabitress of Lachish: the beginning of sin was she to the daughter of Zion; for in thee were found the transgressions of Israel.
Bino bavandi ya engumba Lakishi, bokangisa bampunda mpe bashar na bino! Bino nde bomemisaki Siona, mboka kitoko, masumu; pamba te bamonaki masumu ya Isalaele kati na bino!
14 Therefore shalt thou have to give presents to Moresheth-gath: the houses of Achzib shall become a deception to the kings of Israel.
Yango wana, bokopesa na Moresheti mokanda oyo elakisi ete bokabwani na ye na libala. Engumba Akizibi ezali kokosa bakonzi ya Isalaele.
15 Yet will I bring an [enemy as] heir unto thee, O inhabitant of Mareshah: as far as 'Adullam shall withdraw the glory of Israel.
Bino bavandi ya Maresha, nakotindela bino monguna moko mpo ete aya kobundisa bino; lokumu ya Isalaele ekokima na engumba Adulami.
16 Make thyself bald, and cut off thy hair for the children of thy delight; enlarge thy baldness like the eagle; because they are gone into exile from thee.
Bomikokola suki na mito mpo na bana na bino ya mibali oyo bolingaka, ndenge esalemaka na matanga. Bomikokola suki na mito mpe botikala mabandi lokola mpongo, pamba te bakomema bango na bowumbu mosika na bino.
