Hosea 2
1 Say ye unto your brethren, Ammi; and to your sisters, Ruhamah.
— Loba na bandeko na yo ya mibali: « Bozali bato na ngai, » mpe na bandeko na yo ya basi: « Bozali balingami na ngai. »
2 Plead with your mother, plead; for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: and let her put away her whoredoms from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts;
Bopamela mama na bino, bopamela ye; pamba te azali lisusu mwasi na ngai te, mpe ngai nazali lisusu mobali na ye te. Tika ete alongola bilembo ya kindumba na elongi na ye mpe bilembo ya ekobo na mabele na ye.
3 lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born, and make her as a wilderness, and set her like a dry land, and slay her with thirst;
Soki te, nakolongola ye bilamba mpe nakotika ye bolumbu ndenge babotela ye, nakokomisa ye lokola esobe, lokola mokili oyo ekawuka; mpe akokufa na posa ya mayi.
4 Yea, upon her children will I have no mercy; for they be children of whoredom.
Nakolinga bana na ye te, pamba te bazali bana oyo babotami na nzela ya kindumba.
5 for their mother hath played the harlot: she that conceived them hath done shamefully: for she said, I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread and my water, my wool and my flax, mine oil and my drink.
Mama na bango atambolaki na kindumba, mpe ye oyo abotaki bango azali mwasi ya lokumu te. Alobaki: « Nakolanda bamakangu na ngai, oyo bapesaka ngai bilei mpe mayi, bilamba ya lino mpe bilamba basala na bapwale ya meme, mafuta mpe masanga. »
6 Therefore, behold, I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will make a fence against her, that she shall not find her paths.
Yango wana, nakokangela ye nzela na banzube, nakotongela ye mir mpo ete akoka lisusu komona nzela te.
7 And she shall follow after her lovers, but she shall not overtake them; and she shall seek them, but shall not find them: then shall she say, I will go and return to my first husband; for then was it better with me than now.
Akolanda bamakangu na ye, kasi akozwa bango te; akoluka bango, kasi akomona bango te. Bongo akoloba: « Tika nazongela mobali na ngai ya liboso; pamba te elongo na mobali ya liboso, nazalaki na esengo koleka sik’oyo! »
8 For she did not know that I gave her the corn, and the wine, and the oil, and multiplied unto her silver and gold, which they used for Baal.
Asosolaki te ete ngai nde nazalaki kopesa ye ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta; ete ngai nde nasopelaki ye palata mpe wolo oyo basaleli bikeko ya Bala.
9 Therefore will I take back my corn in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will pluck away my wool and my flax which should have covered her nakedness.
Yango wana, nakobotola ble na ngai na tango ya kobuka, vino na ngai ya sika na tango ya kokamola yango; nakobotola bilamba na ngai oyo basala na bapwale ya meme, mpe bilamba na ngai ya lino oyo azalaki kozipa na yango bolumbu na ye.
10 And now will I discover her lewdness in the sight of her lovers, and none shall deliver her out of mine hand.
Boye, nakosambwisa ye na miso ya bamakangu na ye, mpe moto moko te akobikisa ye na maboko na ngai.
11 I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feasts, her new moons, and her sabbaths, and all her solemn assemblies.
Nakosukisa bisengo na ye nyonso: bafeti na ye ya mobu na mobu mpe ya ebandeli ya sanza, mikolo na ye ya Saba mpe bafeti nyonso oyo ekatama.
12 And I will lay waste her vines and her fig trees, whereof she hath said, These are my hire that my lovers have given me: and I will make them a forest, and the beasts of the field shall eat them.
Nakobebisa bilanga na ye ya vino mpe banzete na ye ya figi oyo azalaki koloba na tina na yango: « Ezali bakado oyo bamakangu na ngai bapesaki ngai; » nakokomisa yango matiti ya zamba, mpe banyama ya zamba ekolia yango.
13 And I will visit upon her the days of the Baalim, unto which she burned incense; when she decked herself with her earrings and her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgat me, saith the LORD.
Nakopesa ye etumbu mpo na mikolo nyonso oyo atumbelaki nzambe ya Bala malasi ya ansa. Azalaki kolata babiju mpe mayaka ya talo mpo na kokende epai ya bamakangu na ye; kasi ngai, abosanaki Ngai, elobi Yawe.
14 Therefore, behold, I will allure her, and bring her into the wilderness, and speak comfortably unto her.
Yango wana, nakobuka ye motema, nakomema ye na esobe; mpe kuna, nakoloba na motema na ye maloba na bolingo.
15 And I will give her her vineyards from thence, and the valley of Achor for a door of hope: and she shall make answer there, as in the days of her youth, and as in the day when she came up out of the land of Egypt.
Kuna nde nakozongisela ye bilanga na ye ya vino mpe nakokomisa Lubwaku ya Akori ekuke ya elikya. Kuna, akoyanola na esengo lokola na tango ya bolenge na ye, lokola na mokolo oyo abimaki na Ejipito.
16 And it shall be at that day, saith the LORD, that thou shalt call me Ishi; and shalt call me no more Baali.
Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, okobenga ngai: « Mobali na ngai ya libala; » okobenga ngai lisusu te: « Nkolo na ngai. »
17 For I will take away the names of the Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall no more be mentioned by their name.
Nakolongola na bibebu na ye bakombo ya banzambe ya Bala; bakobelela lisusu bakombo na yango te.
18 And in that day will I make a covenant for them with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of heaven, and with the creeping things of the ground: and I will break the bow and the sword and the battle out of the land, and will make them to lie down safely.
Na mokolo wana, nakosala boyokani mpo na bango elongo na banyama ya zamba, bandeke ya likolo, mpe bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu. Nakobuka tolotolo mpe mopanga, mpe nakosilisa bitumba: nyonso wana ekosila na mokili mpo ete bato nyonso bavanda na kimia.
19 And I will betroth thee unto me for ever; yea, I will betroth thee unto me in righteousness, and in judgment, and in lovingkindness, and in mercies.
Nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai mpo na libela, nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai na solo mpe na bosembo, na bolingo mpe na esengo.
20 I will even betroth thee unto me in faithfulness: and thou shalt know the LORD.
Nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai na solo; mpe na bongo, okoyeba Yawe malamu.
21 And it shall come to pass in that day, I will answer, saith the LORD, I will answer the heavens, and they shall answer the earth;
Na mokolo wana, nakoyanola, elobi Yawe, nakoyanola Lola, mpe Lola ekoyanola mabele.
22 and the earth shall answer the corn, and the wine, and the oil; and they shall answer Jezreel.
Mabele ekoyanola ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta. Bongo, yango nyonso ekoyanola Jizireyeli.
23 And I wilt sow her unto me in the earth; and I will have mercy upon her that had not obtained mercy; and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people; and they shall say, [Thou art] my God.
Nakolona ye mpo na Ngai moko kati na mokili mpo ete azala lokola nzete ya elanga na Ngai; nakotalisa bolingo na Ngai epai na ye oyo nazalaki kobenga Lo-Rukama. Nakoloba na bato oyo nazalaki kobenga Lo-Ami: « Bozali bato na Ngai, » mpe bango bakoloba: « Ozali Nzambe na biso. »
