Hosea 9
1 “Do not rejoice, O Israel, do not be joyful like the peoples, For you have gone whoring from your God, You have loved a wage near all floors of grain.
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 Floor and winepress do not feed them, And new wine fails in her,
Etando oyo batutelaka ble mpe ekamolelo masanga ya vino ekopesa bango bilei te, mpe bakozanga vino ya sika.
3 They do not abide in the land of YHWH, And Ephraim has turned back [to] Egypt, And they eat an unclean thing in Asshur.
Bakovanda lisusu te na mboka na Yawe; Efrayimi akozonga na Ejipito, mpe bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na Asiri.
4 They do not pour out wine to YHWH, Nor are they sweet to Him, Their sacrifices [are] as bread of mourners to them, All eating it are unclean: For their bread [is] for themselves, It does not come into the house of YHWH.
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 do you do at the day appointed? And at the day of YHWH’s festival?
Boye, bokosala nini na mikolo ya bafeti oyo ekatama, na mikolo ya bafeti ya Yawe?
6 For behold, they have gone because of destruction, Egypt gathers them, Moph buries them, The desirable things of their silver, Nettles possess them—a thorn [is] 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 The days of inspection have come in, The days of repayment have come in, Israel knows! The prophet [is] a fool, Mad [is] the man of the spirit, Because of the abundance of your iniquity, And great [is] the hatred.
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 Ephraim is looking [away] from My God, The prophet! A snare of a fowler [is] over all his ways, Hatred [is] 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 have gone deep—have done corruptly, As [in] the days of Gibeah, He remembers their iniquity, He inspects 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 As grapes in a wilderness I found Israel, As the first-fruit in a fig tree, at its beginning, I have seen your fathers, They have gone in [to] Ba‘al-Peor, And are separated to a shameful thing, And have become abominable like their love.
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 Ephraim [is] as a bird, their glory flies away, without birth, and without womb, and without conception.
Nkembo ya Efrayimi ekokima lokola ndeke, wuta na mbotama, wuta na zemi, wuta na ebandeli ya zemi.
12 For though they nourish their sons, I have made them childless—without man, Surely also, woe to them when I turn aside from them.
Ezala soki babokoli bana, nakobotola bango liboso ete bakola. Solo, mawa na bango tango nakopesa bango mokongo!
13 Ephraim! When I have looked to the rock, Is planted in comeliness, And Ephraim [is] to bring out his sons to a slayer.
Nazali komona Efrayimi lokola engumba Tiri oyo etongama na likolo ya mabele ya kitoko; nzokande, Efrayimi akokaba bana na ye na mobomi.
14 Give to them, YHWH—what do You give? Give to them miscarrying womb, and dry breasts.
Oh Yawe, pesa bango… Okopesa bango nini? Pesa bango mabumu oyo esopaka bazemi, mpe mabele oyo ekawuka.
15 All their evil [is] in Gilgal, Surely there I have hated them, Because of the evil of their doings, Out of My house I drive them, I no longer love them, All their heads [are] apostates.
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 Ephraim has been struck, Their root has dried up, they do not yield fruit, Indeed, though they bring forth, I have put to death the desired of their womb.
Efrayimi alembi, misisa na ye ekawuki; akobota lisusu bambuma te; ata soki baboti bana, nakoboma bana na bango oyo balingaka mingi.
17 My God rejects them, Because they have not listened to Him, And they are wanderers among nations!”
Nzambe na ngai akobwaka bango, pamba te batosaki Ye te, mpe bakokoma koyengayenga kati na bikolo.
