Amos 7
1 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me. Look, he formed a locust swarm when the spring crop began to come up, and, look, it was the late crop 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 When they finished eating the vegetation of the land, then I said, “Lord Yahweh, please forgive; how will Jacob survive? For he is so 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 Yahweh relented concerning this. “It will not happen,” he said.
Boye, Yawe abongolaki makanisi na Ye mpe alobaki: — Makambo yango ekosalema te.
4 This is what the Lord Yahweh showed me: Look, the Lord Yahweh called on fire to judge. It dried the vast, deep water under the earth and would have devoured the land, also.
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 But I said, “Lord Yahweh, please stop; how will Jacob survive? For he is so small.”
Boye, nagangaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, nabondeli Yo, kosala boye te! Ndenge nini Jakobi oyo azali penza moke akoki solo kobika?
6 Yahweh relented concerning this, “This also will not happen,” said the Lord Yahweh.
Boye Yawe abongolaki makanisi na Ye. Mpe Nkolo Yawe alobaki: — Makambo yango ekosalema lisusu te.
7 This is what he showed me: Look, the Lord stood beside a wall, 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 Yahweh said to me, “Amos, what do you see?” I said, “A plumb line.” Then the Lord said, “Look, I will put a plumb line among my people Israel. I will spare them no longer.
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 destroyed, the sanctuaries of Israel will be ruined, 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 a message to Jeroboam, king of Israel: “Amos has conspired against you in the middle of the house of Israel. The land cannot 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 this is what Amos said, 'Jeroboam will die by the sword, and Israel will surely go into exile away from 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 said to Amos, “Seer, go, run back to the land of Judah, and there eat bread and prophesy.
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 anymore here at Bethel, for it is the king's sanctuary and a royal house.”
Kosakola lisusu na Beteli te, pamba te Beteli ezali Esika ya bule ya mokonzi mpe tempelo ya bokonzi.
14 Then Amos said to Amaziah, “I am not a prophet nor a prophet's son. I am a herdsman, and I take care of sycamore fig trees.
Amosi azongiselaki Amatsia: — Nazalaki mosakoli te to mwana ya mosakoli te, kasi nazalaki nde mobateli bibwele mpe moloni ya basikomori.
15 But Yahweh took me from tending the flock and 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 hear the word of Yahweh. You say, 'Do not prophesy against Israel, and do not speak 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 this is what Yahweh says, 'Your wife will be a prostitute in the city; your sons and your daughters will fall by the sword; your land will be measured and divided up; you will die in an unclean land, and Israel will surely go into exile from 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. »
