< Micah 1 >
1 The word of Yahweh which came unto Micah the Morashtite, in the days of Jotham, Ahaz, Hezekiah, kings of Judah, —of which he had vision concerning Samaria, and Jerusalem: —
Yawe alobaki na Mishe, moto ya mboka Moresheti, na tango Yotami, Akazi mpe Ezekiasi bazalaki, moko sima na mosusu, bakonzi ya Yuda: ezalaki emoniseli oyo Mishe azwaki na tina na Samari mpe Yelusalemi.
2 Hear ye peoples, all of you, Hearken, O earth and the fulness thereof, —and let My Lord Yahweh be among you for a witness, My Lord out of his holy temple.
Bino nyonso, bikolo, boyoka! Mabele elongo na nyonso oyo ezali kati na yo, botia matoyi mpe boyoka! Nkolo Yawe azwi bino na likambo; Yawe akosambisa bino wuta na Ndako na Ye ya bule!
3 For lo! Yahweh, coming forth out of his place, —that he may descend, and march along upon the high places of the earth.
Tala, Yawe azali koya wuta na Ndako na Ye, azali kokita, azali kotambola na likolo ya bangomba ya mabele.
4 Then shall the mountains be melted beneath him, and, the valleys, be cleft, —as wax before the fire, as waters poured out in a steep place.
Na se ya matambe na Ye, bangomba ezali kopasuka, mabwaku ezali kopanzana ndenge mafuta eyandukaka na moto, ndenge mayi ya mvula etiolaka na lombangu na mipanzi ya bangomba.
5 For the transgression of Jacob, is all this, and for the sin of the house of Israel, —Whose is the transgression of Jacob? Is it not Samaria’s? And whose is the sin of Judah? Is it not Jerusalem?
Mpo na nini nyonso wana? Ezali mpo na mabe ya Jakobi, mpo na masumu ya libota ya Isalaele. Nani atindikaki Jakobi na kosala mabe? Boni, ezali Samari te? Nani asalaki ete bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ezala kati na Yuda? Boni, ezali Yelusalemi te?
6 Therefore will I make of Samaria a heap in a field, the plantings in a vineyard, —and I will pour down, into the valley, her stones, and, her foundations, will I lay bare;
« Nakokomisa Samari mopiku ya mabanga; bakokoma kosala bilanga ya vino kuna. Nakobwaka mabanga na yango na lubwaku, nakosala ete miboko na yango etikala polele.
7 And, all her images, shall be beaten in pieces, and, all her rewards for unchastity, shall be burned in the fire, and, all her idols, will I make a desolation, —for, out of the reward of unchastity, she gathered [them], and, unto the reward of unchastity, shall they return.
Banzambe na bango nyonso ya bikeko ekopanzana, makabo nyonso ya mbindo oyo bapesaka epai ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko ekobwakama na moto. Nakobebisa banzambe nyonso ya bikeko ya Samari mpo ete esalemaki na lifuti ya mbindo ya ekobo ya bule, mpe mpo ete basalela yango lisusu te lokola lifuti ya ekobo mosusu ya bule. »
8 For this cause, will I lament and howl, I will go stript and bare, —I will make a lamentation, like the wild dogs, and a mourning, like ostriches.
Yango wana, nakolela mpe nakosala matanga, nakotambola makolo ngulu mpe bolumbu, nakoganga lokola mbwa ya zamba mpe nakolela lokola maligbanga.
9 For dangerous are her wounds, —for she hath come as far as Judah, she hath reached as far as the gate of my people, as far as Jerusalem.
Pamba te bokono ya Samari esilaka te; pota na yango ezwi mpe mokili ya Yuda, ezali kopusana kino na ekuke ya bato na ngai, kino kutu na yango moko Yelusalemi.
10 In Gath, do not tell, in Accho, do not weep, —in Beth-l’aphrah, roll yourselves in dust.
Boloba yango te kati na engumba Gati, bolela te! Bato ya Beti-Leafra, bomipakola putulu!
11 Pass thou over (for you), thou inhabitress of Shaphir, of disgraceful disclosure, —the inhabitress of Zaanan, hath not gone forth, at the lamentation of Beth-ezel, shall he take from you his station,
Bato ya engumba Shafiri, botambola bolumbu mpe boyoka soni! Bato ya mboka Tsanani bakobima lisusu na engumba na bango te, bato ya Beti-Atseli bazali na matanga; boye balongoli lisungi na bango epai na yo.
12 Though the inhabitress of Maroth waited for blessing, —yet there came down calamity from Yahweh, to the gate of Jerusalem.
Bato ya etuka ya Meroti bazali kolenga na somo mpo na bolamu na bango, pamba te Yawe atindi pasi ya makasi kino na ekuke ya Yelusalemi.
13 Bind the chariot to the steed, O inhabitress of Lachish, —the beginning of sin, was she to the daughter of Zion, for, in thee, have been found the transgressions of Israel.
Bino bavandi ya engumba Lakishi, bokangisa bampunda mpe bashar na bino! Bino nde bomemisaki Siona, mboka kitoko, masumu; pamba te bamonaki masumu ya Isalaele kati na bino!
14 Therefore, shalt thou give a dismission, against Moresheth-gath, —The houses of Achzib, served for a deception to the kings of Israel.
Yango wana, bokopesa na Moresheti mokanda oyo elakisi ete bokabwani na ye na libala. Engumba Akizibi ezali kokosa bakonzi ya Isalaele.
15 The time shall yet be when, the heir, I will bring unto thee, O inhabitress of Mareshah, —as far as Adullam, shall enter the glory of Israel.
Bino bavandi ya Maresha, nakotindela bino monguna moko mpo ete aya kobundisa bino; lokumu ya Isalaele ekokima na engumba Adulami.
16 Make thee bald, and cut off thy hair, for the children of thy pleasures, —enlarge thy baldness, like a vulture, for they are exiled from thee.
Bomikokola suki na mito mpo na bana na bino ya mibali oyo bolingaka, ndenge esalemaka na matanga. Bomikokola suki na mito mpe botikala mabandi lokola mpongo, pamba te bakomema bango na bowumbu mosika na bino.
