Amos 2
1 Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Moab, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because he burned the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Moabi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te batumbaki mikuwa ya mokonzi ya Edomi mpe bakomisaki yango putulu.
2 but I will send a fire on Moab, and it will devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab will die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet;
Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Moabi, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba ya Kerioti, oyo batonga makasi. Moabi ekokufa kati na lokito ya makasi, na makelele ya bitumba mpe ya kelelo.
3 and I will cut off the judge from their midst, and will kill all its officials with him," says YHWH.
Nakobebisa mokonzi na yango mpe nakoboma ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.
4 Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Judah, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have rejected YHWH's law, and have not kept his statutes. Their false idols which they made, after which their fathers walked, have led them astray.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Yuda, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te babwakaki Mobeko na Ngai, babatelaki te bikateli na Ngai mpe babungaki nzela mpo na kolanda banzambe ya lokuta oyo bakoko na bango balandaki na tango ya kala.
5 But I will send a fire on Judah, and it will devour the palaces of Jerusalem."
Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Yuda, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba Yelusalemi, oyo batonga makasi. »
6 Thus says YHWH: "For three transgressions of Israel, yes, for four, I will not turn away its punishment; because they have sold the righteous for silver, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Isalaele, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te batekaki bato ya sembo mpo na kozwa kaka palata, mpe bato bakelela mpo na kozwa kaka mapapa mibale.
7 They trample on the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and deny justice to the oppressed; and a man and his father use the same maiden, to profane my holy name;
Bazali konyata mito ya babola ndenge banyataka putulu ya mabele, mpe bazali kokata na bosembo te makambo ya bato bakelela. Tata mpe mwana na ye ya mobali bazali kosangisa nzoto na mwasi moko ya makangu; mpe na bongo, bazali kotiola bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai.
8 and they lay themselves down beside every altar on clothes taken in pledge; and in the house of their God they drink the wine of those who have been fined.
Pene ya bitumbelo, bazali kolalela bilamba oyo bazwi na ndanga; mpe kati na ndako ya nzambe na bango, bazali komela vino oyo epesami lokola lomande.
9 Yet I destroyed the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
Nzokande, Ngai, nabebisaki bato ya Amori liboso na bango, atako bazali milayi lokola banzete ya sedele mpe makasi lokola banzete ya sheni. Nabebisaki bambuma na yango na likolo, mpe misisa na yango na se.
10 Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.
Nabimisaki bino na Ejipito mpe natambolisaki bino mibu tuku minei kati na esobe mpo na kopesa bino mokili ya bato ya Amori.
11 I raised up some of your sons for prophets, and some of your young men for Nazirites. Isn't this true, you children of Israel?" says YHWH.
Kati na bana na bino ya mibali, nabimisaki basakoli; mpe kati na bilenge mibali na bino, nabimisaki banaziri. Oh bana ya Isalaele, boni, ezali solo te? » elobi Yawe.
12 "But you gave the Nazirites wine to drink, and commanded the prophets, saying, 'Do not prophesy.'
« Kasi bino, bolangwisi banaziri masanga mpe bopekisi basakoli ete basakola lisusu te.
13 Look, I will crush you in your place, as a cart crushes that is full of grain.
Sik’oyo, nakonyata bino ndenge shar oyo etonda na maboke ya bambuma enyataka biloko.
14 Flight will perish from the swift; and the strong won't strengthen his force; neither shall the mighty deliver himself;
Moto oyo aleki na mbangu akobika te, moto oyo aleki makasi akokoka kobimisa makasi na ye te, mpe soda ya mpiko akokoka kobikisa bomoi na ye te.
15 neither shall he stand who handles the bow; and he who is swift of foot won't escape; neither shall he who rides the horse deliver himself;
Mobeti tolotolo akolonga te, soda ya mpiko akokoka kokima te, mpe soda oyo atambolaka likolo ya mpunda akobikisa bomoi na ye te;
16 and he who is courageous among the mighty will flee away naked on that day," says YHWH.
ezala basoda oyo baleki makasi, bakokima bolumbu na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe.
