Hosea 5
1 "Listen to this, you priests. Listen, house of Israel, and give ear, house of the king. For the judgment is against you; for you have been a snare at Mizpah, and a net spread on Tabor.
Bino Banganga-Nzambe, boyoka! Bino bana ya Isalaele, bofungola matoyi! Bino mpe bato oyo bosalaka na ndako ya mokonzi, boyoka! Ezali bino nde bosengelaki kosambisa, kasi bozalaki lokola motambo, na Mitsipa, mpe lokola monyama batanda, na Tabori.
2 The rebels are deep in slaughter; but I discipline all of them.
Batomboki batimolaki libulu ya mozindo; mpe Ngai nakopesa bango nyonso etumbu.
3 I know Ephraim, and Israel is not hidden from me; for now, Ephraim, you have played the prostitute. Israel is defiled.
Nayebi Efrayimi malamu penza; mpe Isalaele azali ya kobombama te na miso na Ngai. Efrayimi, awa omipesaki na kindumba, Isalaele mobimba akomi mbindo mpo na yango.
4 Their deeds won't allow them to turn to their God; for the spirit of prostitution is within them, and they do not know the LORD.
Misala na bango ezali kopekisa bango kozonga epai ya Nzambe na bango, mpo ete molimo ya kindumba evandi kati na mitema na bango, bazali koyeba Yawe te.
5 The pride of Israel testifies to his face. Therefore Israel and Ephraim will stumble in their iniquity. Judah also will stumble with them.
Lolendo ya Isalaele ezali kofunda bango; ezala bato ya Efrayimi to ya Isalaele bakokweya mpo na masumu na bango; bato ya Yuda mpe bakokweya elongo na bango.
6 They will go with their flocks and with their herds to seek the LORD; but they won't find him. He has withdrawn himself from them.
Tango bakokende koluka Yawe, elongo na bangombe mpe bameme na bango, bakomona Ye te, pamba te akabwanaki na bango.
7 They are unfaithful to the LORD; for they have borne illegitimate children. Now the new moon will devour them with their fields.
Bazali sembo te liboso ya Yawe, baboti bana makangu; sik’oyo, bafeti na bango ya ebandeli ya sanza ekoboma bango nzela moko na bomengo na bango.
8 "Blow the cornet in Gibeah, and the trumpet in Ramah. Sound a battle cry at Beth Aven, behind you, Benjamin.
Bobeta kelelo, na Gibea, mpe liseke, kuna na Rama! Bobeta lolaka ya bitumba na Beti-Aveni! Oh Benjame, keba!
9 Ephraim will become a desolation in the day of rebuke. Among the tribes of Israel, I have made known that which will surely be.
Efrayimi akobebisama na mokolo ya etumbu na ye. Nazali koloba makambo ya solo kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
10 The princes of Judah are like those who remove a landmark. I will pour out my wrath on them like water.
Bakambi ya Yuda bazali lokola bato oyo bapusaka bandelo. Nakopelisela bango kanda na Ngai lokola mpela.
11 Ephraim is oppressed, he is crushed in judgment; Because he is intent in his pursuit of idols.
Efrayimi azali konyokwama, anyatami na etumbu, pamba te akangamaki na kolanda kaka banzambe ya bikeko.
12 Therefore I am to Ephraim like a moth, and to the house of Judah like rottenness.
Mpe Ngai, nakomi lokola nseka na miso ya Efrayimi, lokola eloko ya kopola na miso ya bato ya Yuda.
13 "When Ephraim saw his sickness, and Judah his wound, Then Ephraim went to Assyria, and sent to king Jareb: but he is not able to heal you, neither will he cure you of your wound.
Tango Efrayimi amonaki bokono na ye, mpe Yuda amonaki bapota na ye, Efrayimi abalukaki na ngambo ya Asiri mpe atindaki sango epai ya mokonzi monene mpo na kozwa lisungi, kasi ye akokoka kobikisa mpe kosilisa bapota na yo te.
14 For I will be to Ephraim like a lion, and like a young lion to the house of Judah. I myself will tear in pieces and go away. I will carry off, and there will be no one to deliver.
Pamba te nakozala lokola nkosi liboso ya Efrayimi, mpe lokola mwana nkosi liboso ya Yuda. Nakokata-kata bango na biteni mpe nakokende, nakomema bango, mpe moto akobikisa bango akozala te.
15 I will go and return to my place, until they acknowledge their offense, and seek my face. In their affliction they will seek me earnestly."
Nakozonga epai na Ngai kino tango bakososola mabe na bango mpe bakoluka elongi na Ngai; kati na pasi, bakoluka Ngai makasi.
