Amos 7
1 This is what YHWH showed me: And look, he formed locusts in the beginning of the shooting up of the latter growth; and look, it was the latter growth after the king's harvest.
Tala makambo oyo Nkolo Yawe alakisaki ngai: Tango matiti ebandaki kobota, ebimisaki mabanki ebele. Esalemaki sima na kobuka milona ya mokonzi.
2 It happened that, when they made an end of eating the grass of the land, then I said, "Lord GOD, forgive, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
Tango mabanki yango esilisaki kolia matiti nyonso ya mokili, nagangaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, limbisa bato na Yo! Ndenge nini Jakobi oyo azali penza moke akoki solo kobika?
3 YHWH relented concerning this. "It shall not be," says YHWH.
Boye, Yawe abongolaki makanisi na Ye mpe alobaki: — Makambo yango ekosalema te.
4 This is what YHWH showed me: And look, YHWH called for judgment by fire; and it dried up the great deep, and would have devoured the land.
Tala makambo oyo Nkolo Yawe alakisaki ngai. Nkolo Yawe asalelaki moto mpo na kopesa etumbu, bongo moto yango ekawusaki mayi minene mpe ezikisaki mokili.
5 Then I said, "YHWH, stop, I beg you. How could Jacob stand? For he is small."
Boye, nagangaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, nabondeli Yo, kosala boye te! Ndenge nini Jakobi oyo azali penza moke akoki solo kobika?
6 YHWH relented concerning this. "This also shall not be," says YHWH.
Boye Yawe abongolaki makanisi na Ye. Mpe Nkolo Yawe alobaki: — Makambo yango ekosalema lisusu te.
7 This is what YHWH showed me: And look, he was standing beside a wall built with a plumb line, with a plumb line in his hand.
Tala makambo oyo alakisaki ngai: Nkolo azalaki ya kotelema na likolo ya mir moko batonga na mbodi mpe, na loboko na Ye, asimbaki nivo oyo batongi ndako basalelaka.
8 And YHWH said to me, "Amos, what do you see?" And I said, "A plumb line." Then YHWH said, "Look, I have set a plumb line in the midst of my people Israel. I will not again pass by them any more.
Yawe atunaki ngai: — Amosi, ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona nivo oyo batongi ndako basalelaka. Nkolo alobaki na ngai: — Tala, nakotia nivo oyo batongi ndako basalelaka na likolo ya Isalaele, bato na Ngai. Nakolimbisa bango lisusu te.
9 The high places of Isaac will be desolate, the sanctuaries of Israel will be laid waste; and I will rise against the house of Jeroboam with the sword."
Tango nakotelemela libota ya Jeroboami na nzela ya mopanga na Ngai, nakobebisa bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ya Izaki mpe bisika ya bule ya Isalaele.
10 Then Amaziah the priest of Bethel sent to Jeroboam king of Israel, saying, "Amos has conspired against you in the midst of the house of Israel. The land is not able to bear all his words.
Amatsia, Nganga-Nzambe ya Beteli, atindelaki Jeroboami, mokonzi ya Isalaele, maloba oyo: « Amosi azali kosalela yo likita mpo na kosala yo mabe kati na mokili ya Isalaele. Mokili ekoki te kondima koyokaka tango nyonso maloba na ye.
11 For Amos says, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
Pamba te, tala maloba oyo Amosi azali koloba: ‹ Jeroboami akokufa na mopanga, mpe Isalaele akokende na bowumbu, mosika ya mabele na ye. › »
12 Amaziah also said to Amos, "You seer, go, flee away into the land of Judah, and there eat bread, and prophesy there:
Amatsia alobaki na Amosi: — Yo, momoni makambo, bima na mokili na biso! Zonga na mokili ya Yuda. Kuna, okosala mbongo na masakoli na yo.
13 but do not prophesy again any more at Bethel; for it is the king's sanctuary, and it is a royal house."
Kosakola lisusu na Beteli te, pamba te Beteli ezali Esika ya bule ya mokonzi mpe tempelo ya bokonzi.
14 Then Amos answered Amaziah, "I was no prophet, neither was I a prophet's son; but I was a herdsman, and a farmer of sycamore figs;
Amosi azongiselaki Amatsia: — Nazalaki mosakoli te to mwana ya mosakoli te, kasi nazalaki nde mobateli bibwele mpe moloni ya basikomori.
15 and YHWH took me from following the flock, and YHWH said to me, 'Go, prophesy to my people Israel.'
Kasi Yawe alongolaki ngai na mosala ya kobatela bibwele mpe alobaki na ngai: « Kende kosakola epai ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele. »
16 Now therefore listen to the word of YHWH: 'You say, Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not proclaim against the house of Isaac.'
Yoka sik’oyo Liloba na Yawe, yo oyo ozali koloba na ngai: « Tika kosakola mpo na kotelemela libota ya Isalaele mpe tika koloba mabe mpo na ndako ya Izaki! »
17 Therefore thus says YHWH: 'Your wife shall be a prostitute in the city, and your sons and your daughters shall fall by the sword, and your land shall be divided by line; and you yourself shall die in a land that is unclean, and Israel shall surely be led away captive out of his land.'"
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mwasi na yo akosala kindumba kati na engumba, bana na yo ya mibali mpe ya basi bakokufa na mopanga, bakokabola mabele na yo na biteni. Yo moko, okokufa na mabele ya mbindo, mpe Isalaele akokende solo na bowumbu, mosika ya mokili na ye ya mbotama. »
