Hosea 7
1 'When I give healing to Israel, Then revealed is the iniquity of Ephraim, And the wickedness of Samaria, For they have wrought falsehood, And a thief doth come in, Stript off hath a troop in the street,
Tango kaka nalingaki kobikisa Isalaele, masumu ya Efrayimi mpe mabe ya Samari ebimaki na pwasa, mpo ete batambolaki na lokuta; miyibi babukaki bandako mpe bato mabe babotolaki bato biloko kati na babalabala.
2 And they do not say to their heart, [That] all their evil I have remembered, Now compassed them have their doings, Over-against My face they have been.
Bamilobelaka te, kati na mitema na bango, ete Ngai nabosanaka te mabe nyonso oyo basalaka; sik’oyo, misala na bango ya mabe ezingeli bango, ezali tango nyonso liboso na Ngai.
3 With their wickedness they make glad a king, And with their lies — princes.
Basepelisaka mokonzi na nzela ya misala na bango ya mabe; basepelisaka mpe bakambi na nzela ya lokuta na bango.
4 All of them [are] adulterers, Like a burning oven of a baker, He ceaseth from stirring up after kneading the dough, till its leavening.
Bango nyonso bazali bandumba, bapelaka na posa lokola moto ya fulu ya mapa, oyo molambi mapa akobaka te kobakisa koni, wuta na tango asangisaki farine kino mapa evimba.
5 A day of our king! Princes have polluted themselves [with] the poison of wine, He hath drawn out his hand with scorners.
Na mokolo ya feti ya mokonzi na biso, bakambi balangwaka masanga mpe mokonzi asanganaka na batioli.
6 For they have drawn near, As an oven [is] their heart, In their lying in wait all the night sleep doth their baker, Morning! he is burning as a flaming fire.
Wana mitema na bango epelaka lokola moto ya fulu, bapusanaka pene na ye na mayele mabe. Butu mobimba, balalaka na kanda; mpe na tongo, kanda yango ekomaka kopela lokola moto.
7 All of them are warm as an oven, And they have devoured their judges, All their kings have fallen, There is none calling unto Me among them.
Bango nyonso bapelaka lokola moto ya fulu, batumbaka bakambi na bango; mpe bakonzi na bango nyonso bakweyaka, moko te kati na bango abelelaka Ngai.
8 Ephraim! among peoples he mixeth himself, Ephraim hath been a cake unturned.
Efrayimi asangani na bikolo mosusu, akomi lokola galeti oyo ebela malamu te.
9 Devoured have strangers his power, And he hath not known, Also old age hath sprinkled [itself] on him, And he hath not known.
Bapaya bazali kosilisa ye makasi, kasi ye azali kososola yango te. Azali kokoma mobange, kasi azali kososola yango te.
10 And humbled hath been the excellency of Israel to his face, And they have not turned back unto Jehovah their God, Nor have they sought Him for all this.
Lolendo ya Isalaele ezali kofunda ye, kasi azali komona nyonso wana pamba: azongeli te Yawe, Nzambe na ye; mpe atako bongo, azali kaka koluka Ye te!
11 And Ephraim is as a simple dove without heart, Egypt they called on — [to] Asshur they have gone.
Efrayimi akomi lokola ebenga oyo ekosamaka na bopete mpe ezangi mayele: azali kosenga lisungi epai ya Ejipito, kasi azali mpe kokende na Asiri.
12 When they go I spread over them My net, As the fowl of the heavens I bring them down, I chastise them as their company hath heard.
Tango akendaka, nabwakelaka ye monyama mpe nakangaka ye ndenge bakangaka ndeke na likolo. Nakopesa ye etumbu oyo ekoki kolanda ndenge nakebisaki ye na tina na yango kati na lisanga.
13 Woe to them, for they wandered from Me, Destruction to them, for they transgressed against Me, And I — I ransom them, and they have spoken lies against Me,
Mawa na bango mpo ete bakimi mosika na Ngai! Tika ete babebisama mpo ete batombokeli Ngai! Wana nazalaki na Ngai kokangola bango, kasi bango, basepelaki kokosela Ngai makambo!
14 And have not cried unto Me with their heart, but howl on their beds, For corn and new wine they assemble themselves, They turn aside against Me.
Babelelaka Ngai te wuta na mozindo ya mitema na bango, kasi balelaka na bambeto na bango. Tango bamikataka banzoloko mpo na kozwa ble mpe vino ya sika, bakomaka nde mosika na Ngai.
15 And I instructed — I strengthened their arms, And concerning Me they think evil!
Ezali Ngai nde nateyaki mpe nakomisaki bango makasi, kasi bango bazalaka kaka na mabongisi ya kosala Ngai mabe.
16 They turn back — not to the Most High, They have been as a deceitful bow, Fall by sword do their princes, From the insolence of their tongue, This [is] their derision in the land of Egypt!
Bazongelaka te Ye-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo, bazali lokola tolotolo ebeba; bakambi na bango bakokufa na mopanga likolo ya maloba na bango ezanga limemia. Mpo na yango, bakosambwa kati na Ejipito.
