< Micah 2 >

1 Woe to those who devise iniquity and work evil on their beds! When the morning is light, they practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.
Mawa na bato oyo babongisaka kosala mabe, oyo bakanisaka kosala bato mabe na bambeto na bango! Bakokisaka yango na tongo, pamba te bazali na makoki ya kosala yango.
2 They covet fields and seize them, and houses, then take them away. They oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
Soki baluli bilanga ya moto, bazwaka yango na makasi; soki baluli ndako ya moto, babotolaka yango; bakangaka mokolo ndako mpe biloko na ye ya ndako mpe babotolaka moto libula na ye.
3 Therefore Yahweh says: “Behold, I am planning against these people a disaster, from which you will not remove your necks, neither will you walk haughtily, for it is an evil time.
Mpo na yango, Yawe alobi: « Nazali kobongisa mabe mpo na ekolo ya lolenge oyo: ekozala pasi moko oyo bakokoka komibikisa na yango te. Bakokoka lisusu kotambola na lolendo te, pamba te ekozala tango ya pasi makasi.
4 In that day they will take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, saying, ‘We are utterly ruined! My people’s possession is divided up. Indeed he takes it from me and assigns our fields to traitors!’”
Na mokolo wana, bakosambwisa bino; mpo na kotiola bino, bakobanda koyembela bino banzembo oyo: ‹ Tobebisami penza mobimba! Libula ya bato na ngai ekabwani! Abotoli yango na maboko na ngai mpe akabi bilanga na biso epai ya banguna na biso. › »
5 Therefore you will have no one who divides the land by lot in Yahweh’s assembly.
Yango wana, moko te kati na bino akotikala na lisanga ya Yawe mpo na kokabola mabele na zeke.
6 “Don’t prophesy!”—they prophesy— “Don’t prophesy about these things. Disgrace won’t overtake us.”
Basakoli na bango bazalaki koloba: « Kosakola te, kosakola makambo ya boye te! Pasi ekokomela biso te. »
7 Shall it be said, O house of Jacob, “Is Yahweh’s Spirit angry? Are these his doings? Don’t my words do good to him who walks blamelessly?”
Oh libota ya Jakobi, makambo ya boye esengeli solo kolobama? « Boni, Molimo na Yawe atomboki mpo ete asala makambo ya boye? Maloba na Ye ezali ya boboto te mpo na moto oyo atambolaka alima? »
8 But lately my people have risen up as an enemy. You strip the robe and clothing from those who pass by without a care, returning from battle.
Na mikolo eleki, bozalaki komona bato na ngai lokola banguna. Bolongolaki bato oyo bazalaki koleka na kimia bilamba ya talo na mawa te, lokola bato oyo bawuti bitumba;
9 You drive the women of my people out from their pleasant houses; from their young children you take away my blessing forever.
bobenganaki basi ya bato na ngai longwa na bandako na bango ya kitoko, bolongolaki mpo na libela mapamboli na ngai kati na bana na bango.
10 Arise, and depart! For this is not your resting place, because of uncleanness that destroys, even with a grievous destruction.
Botelema mpe bokende! Awa ezali esika na bino ya kopema te, pamba te ezali mbindo, ebebisami makasi penza, mpe elikya ya kobonga ezali lisusu te.
11 If a man walking in a spirit of falsehood lies, saying, “I will prophesy to you of wine and of strong drink,” he would be the prophet of this people.
Soki mokosi moko to moto moko ya lokuta ayei koloba: « Nakosakola mpo na yo; » bongo moto yango azali na se ya milangwa ya vino to ya masanga mosusu ya makasi, moto ya boye asengeli kaka kozala mosakoli ya bato ya lolenge na ye.
12 I will surely assemble all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as a flock in the middle of their pasture. They will swarm with people.
Oh bakitani ya Jakobi, nakosangisa bino nyonso, nakosangisa batikali nyonso ya Isalaele. Nakosangisa bango lokola bameme kati na lopango, lokola bibwele kati na etando na yango ya kolia matiti. Makelele oyo ekoyokana kuna ekozala makelele ya bato ebele.
13 He who breaks open the way goes up before them. They break through the gate, and go out. Their king passes on before them, with Yahweh at their head.
Moto oyo apasolaka nzela akotambola liboso na bango. Bakolekela na nzela oyo bapasoli, bakolekela na nzela ya ekuke mpe bakobimela na nzela yango. Mokonzi na bango akotambola liboso na bango, Yawe akozala liboso na bango.
