Amos 6
1 Woe to those who are at ease in Zion, and to those who are secure in the hill country of Samaria, the notable men of the best of the nations, to whom the house of Israel comes for help!
Mawa na bino oyo bomimonaka ete bokoka kati na Siona, mpe na bino oyo bokanisaka ete bozali na kimia na likolo ya ngomba Samari, bino bato ya lokumu ya ekolo oyo ekenda sango koleka bikolo mosusu epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bayaka!
2 Your leaders say, “Go to Kalneh and look; from there go to Hamath, the great city; then go down to Gath of the Philistines. Are they better than your two kingdoms? Is their border larger than your border?”
Bokende na Kaline mpo na kotala makambo oyo elekaki kuna! Bongo longwa kuna, bokende na Amati, engumba monene, mpe bokende lisusu na Gati kati na Filisitia! Boni, bingumba oyo eleki penza bingumba ya mikili ya bokonzi oyo na malamu? Mpe etando na yango eleki ya bino na monene?
3 Woe to those who put off the day of disaster and make the throne of violence come near.
Bozali kozongisa mokolo ya pasi sima mpe komibendela bokonzi ya somo.
4 They lie on beds of ivory and lounge on their couches. They eat lambs from the flock and calves from the stall.
Bozali kolala na bambeto oyo batia pembe ya nzoko, bozali komivandisa na bakiti ya divan ya kitoko, bozali kolia misuni ya bameme ya kitoko kati na bibwele mpe ya bana ngombe ya mibali ya mafuta kati na etonga.
5 They sing foolish songs to the music of the harp; they improvise on instruments as David did.
Bozali kobeta mandanda na bino lokola Davidi mpe kokotisa bibetelo mindule kati na banzembo na bino.
6 They drink wine from bowls and anoint themselves with the finest oils, but they do not grieve over the ruin of Joseph.
Bozali komela bakopo etonda na masanga ya vino mpe bozali kopakola mafuta ya talo na banzoto na bino, kasi kobebisama ya ndako ya Jozefi ezali kosala bino pasi na mitema te.
7 So they will now go into exile with the first exiles, and the feasts of those who lounge about will pass away.
Yango wana bokozala bato ya liboso mpo na kokende na bowumbu, mpe bafeti ya bato oyo bamivandisaka na bakiti ya kitoko ekosila.
8 “I, the Lord Yahweh, have sworn by myself —this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts, I detest the pride of Jacob; I hate his fortresses. Therefore I will deliver up the city with all that is in it.”
Nkolo Yawe alapi ndayi na Kombo na Ye moko; Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Nazali na somo ya lolendo ya Jakobi, nayini bandako na ye, oyo batonga makasi; nakokaba engumba elongo na biloko na yango nyonso. »
9 It will come about that if there are ten men left in one house, they will all die.
Soki bato zomi batikali na bomoi kati na ndako moko, bango mpe bakokufa.
10 When a man's relative comes to take their bodies up—the one who is to cremate them after bringing the corpses out of the house—if he says to the person in the house, “Is there anyone with you?” What if that person says, “No.” Then he will say, “Be quiet, for we must not mention Yahweh's name.”
Soki noko moko oyo asengeli kotumba bibembe ayei kobimisa yango na ndako mpe atuni na moto nyonso oyo abombami kuna: — Boni, ozali elongo na moto mosusu kuna? Akozongisa: — Te, moto mosusu azali te! Bongo akoloba lisusu: — Esili! Bakolobela lisusu Kombo ya Yawe te.
11 For, look, Yahweh will give a command, and the big house will be smashed to pieces, and the little house to bits.
Pamba te Yawe apesi mitindo, boye akobuka-buka na biteni ndako monene mpe akobuka-buka na biteni ya mike-mike ndako moke.
12 Do horses run on the rocky cliffs? Does one plow there with oxen? Yet you have turned justice into poison and the fruit of righteousness into bitterness.
Boni, bampunda ekimaka penza mbangu na nzela oyo etonda na mabanga? Ngombe ebalolaka penza mabele na bisika ya ndenge wana? Kasi bino bokomisi bosembo ngenge, mpe mbuma ya bosembo bololo.
13 You who rejoice over Lo Debar, who say, “Have we not taken Karnaim by our own strength?”
Bozali kosepela mpo ete bozwi Lo-Debari mpe bozali komikumisa na koloba: « Boni, tobotoli engumba Karinayimi na makasi na biso moko te? »
14 “But look, I will raise up against you a nation, house of Israel—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh, the God of hosts. They will afflict you from Lebo Hamath to the brook of the Arabah.”
Mpo na yango, Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Oh libota ya Isalaele, nakobimisa ekolo moko oyo ekobundisa mpe ekonyokola yo tango nyonso wuta na Lebo-Amati kino na lubwaku ya Araba. »
