1 Wo to the citee of bloodis, al of leesyng, ful of to-reendyng; raueyn shal not go awei fro thee.
Mawa na engumba oyo mosala na yango kosopa makila ya bato, engumba oyo etonda na makambo ya lokuta mpe na moyibi, engumba oyo ezangaka te koboma bato!
2 Vois of scourge, and vois of bire of wheel, and of hors makynge noise, and of foure horsid carte brennynge, and of kniyt stiynge vp,
Tango nyonso, kaka makelele ya bafimbu, makelele ya bapine: bampunda ezali kopumbwa, mpe bashar ezali koningana.
3 and of schynynge swerd, and glesenynge spere, and of slayn multitude, and of greuouse fallyng, nether ther is eende of careyns. And thei schulen falle togidere in her bodies,
Basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda bazali kotambola-tambola, mipanga ezali kongenga, makonga ezali koleka-leka lokola mikalikali! Bato bazali kozoka, kokufa ebele penza! Bongo bibembe elali-lali bisika nyonso, mpe makolo ya bato ekomi kotuta bibembe tango bazali kotambola.
4 for the multitude of fornicaciouns of the hoore fair and plesaunt, and hauynge witchecraftis; which seelde folkis in her fornicaciouns, and meynees in her enchauntementis, ether sorceries.
Makambo oyo nyonso esalemi likolo ya makambo ya nkele ya engumba oyo etonda na kindumba, engumba ya kitoko makasi kasi etonda na misala ya soloka, engumba oyo epengwisaka bikolo na nzela ya kindumba na yango mpe epengwisaka bato na nzela ya misala na yango ya soloka.
5 Lo! Y to thee, seith the Lord God of oostis; and Y schal schewe thi schameful thingis in thi face; and Y schal schewe to folkis thi nakidnesse, and to rewmes thin yuel fame.
« Natombokeli yo, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; « nakotombola yo elamba kino na elongi, nakolakisa bolumbu na yo na miso ya bikolo mosusu mpe nakoyokisa yo soni na miso ya bamboka nyonso.
6 And Y schal cast out on thee thin abhomynaciouns, and Y schal punysche thee with dispitis, and Y schal putte thee in to ensaumple.
Nakobwakela yo bosoto, nakosambwisa yo mpe nakokomisa yo eloko ya maseki.
7 And it schal be, ech man that schal se thee, schal skippe awei fro thee, and schal seie, Nynyue is distried. Who schal moue heed on thee? wherof schal Y seke to thee a coumfortour?
Bato nyonso oyo bakomona yo bakokima mpe bakoganga: ‹ Engumba Ninive ebebisami boye! Nani akoyokela yango mawa? › »
8 Whether thou art betere than Alisaundre of puplis, that dwellith in floodis? Watris ben in cumpas therof, whos richessis is the see, watris ben wallis therof.
Boni, okanisi ete ozali kitoko koleka engumba Tebesi oyo ezalaka pembeni ya ebale Nili mpe ezingelama na mayi, bongo ebale ebatelaka yango mpe mayi ezalaka lokola mir oyo ebombaka yango?
9 Ethiope is strengthe therof, and Egipt, and there is noon ende; Affrik and Libie weren in help therof.
Makasi na yango ezalaki kowuta na Kushi mpe na Ejipito; bato ya Puti mpe ya Libi bazalaki kosunga yango.
10 But and it in `passyng ouer is led in to caitifte; the litle children therof ben hurtlid doun in the heed of alle weies. And on the noble men therof thei kesten lot, and alle grete men therof ben set togidere in gyues.
Nzokande, yango mpe ekweyaki, mpe bamemaki bato na yango na bowumbu. Bakataki-kataki na biteni bana na bango na babalabala nyonso, babetaki zeke mpo na kopona bato na yango ya lokumu mpo ete bamema bango na bowumbu, mpe bakangaki bakambi na yango minyololo.
11 And thou therfor schalt be drunkun, and schalt be dispisid, and thou schalt seke helpe of enemye.
Yo mpe okokoma lokola moto oyo alangwe masanga, yo mpe okoluka ekimelo mpo na kokima banguna na yo.
12 Al thi strengthis as a fige tree, with hise figis vnripe; if thei schulen be schakun, thei schulen falle in to the mouth of the etere.
Bandako na yo nyonso, oyo batonga makasi ezali lokola banzete ya figi etonda na bambuma ya liboso ekomela; soki kaka bameki koningisa yango, bambuma ekweyaka kino na monoko ya moto ya lokoso.
13 Lo! thi puple ben wymmen in the myddil of thee; the yatis of thi lond schulen be schewid to openyng to thin enemyes; fier schal deuoure thin herris.
Tala malamu mampinga na yo, balemba lokola basi; bikuke ya mokili na yo ezali polele liboso ya banguna na yo, pamba te moto ezikisi bikangelo na yango.
14 Drawe vp to thee water for asegyng, bilde thi strengthis; entre in fen, and trede, thou vndurgoynge holde a tiel stoon.
Bino bato ya engumba oyo, bomitokela libela mayi mpo ete bakozingela bino; bolendisa libela bamir oyo ebatelaka engumba na bino; bokamata mabele oyo batongelaka bandako, bosangisa yango mpo ete ekoma potopoto, bongo bobeta babiliki mpe botumba yango.
15 There fier schal ete thee, thou schalt perische bi swerd, it schal deuoure thee, as bruke doith; be thou gaderid togidere as a bruke, be thou multiplied as a locuste.
Kuna nde moto ekoya kozikisa yo, mopanga ekoya koboma yo mpe kosilisa yo lokola mabanki. Tika ete bato na yo bakoma ebele lokola mabanki, bakoma lisusu ebele makasi lokola mankoko.
16 Thou madist thi marchaundises mo than ben sterris of heuene; a bruke is spred abrood, and flei awei.
Okomisi motango ya bato na yo ya mombongo ebele koleka ata minzoto ya likolo, kasi babebisi mokili nyonso mpe bapumbwe na bango ndenge kaka mankoko esalaka.
17 Thi keperis ben as locustis, and thi litle children ben as locustis of locustis, whiche sitten togidere in heggis in the dai of coold; the sun is risun, and thei fledden awei, and the place of hem is not knowun, where thei weren.
Bakengeli na yo bazali lokola mankoko, bakonzi ya basoda na yo bazali lokola maboke ya mabanki oyo eyaka kovanda na bamir ya lopango na tango ya malili; kasi soki kaka moyi ebimi, yango nyonso epanzani, mpe moto moko te ayebaka esika yango ekendaka.
18 Thi scheepherdis napten, thou kyng Assur, thi princes schulen be biried; thi puple ofte was hid in hillis, and ther is not that schal gadere.
Oh mokonzi ya Asiri, bakambi na yo bazali kolala pongi, basoda na yo ya mpiko balali pongi ya makasi, mampinga na yo bapalangani na bangomba mpe moto akosangisa bango azali komonana te.
19 Thi sorewe is not priuy, thi wounde is worst; alle men that herden thin heryng, pressiden togidere hond on thee, for on whom passide not thi malice euermore?
Ezali ata na kisi moko te oyo ekoki kobikisa pota na yo; pota na yo ezali monene makasi! Moto nyonso oyo akoyoka sango ya makambo oyo ekomeli yo akobeta maboko mpo na kokweyisama na yo. Pamba te nani oyo ozangaki kosala mabe?
