Amosi 2
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Moabi, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te batumbaki mikuwa ya mokonzi ya Edomi mpe bakomisaki yango putulu.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Moab, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because he burnt the bones of the king of Edom into lime;
2 Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Moabi, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba ya Kerioti, oyo batonga makasi. Moabi ekokufa kati na lokito ya makasi, na makelele ya bitumba mpe ya kelelo.
And I will send a fire against Moab, which shall devour the palaces of Keriyoth: and Moab shall die in the tumult, in the shouting, amidst the sound of the cornet;
3 Nakobebisa mokonzi na yango mpe nakoboma ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.
And I will cut off the judges from her midst, and all her princes will I slay, with him, saith the Lord.
4 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Yuda, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te babwakaki Mobeko na Ngai, babatelaki te bikateli na Ngai mpe babungaki nzela mpo na kolanda banzambe ya lokuta oyo bakoko na bango balandaki na tango ya kala.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Judah, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they have despised the law of the Lord, and did not keep his statutes, and their lying idols caused them to err, after which their fathers had walked;
5 Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Yuda, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba Yelusalemi, oyo batonga makasi. »
And I will send out a fire against Judah, which shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem.
6 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Likolo ya masumu misato to minei ya Isalaele, nakozanga te kopesa bango etumbu, pamba te batekaki bato ya sembo mpo na kozwa kaka palata, mpe bato bakelela mpo na kozwa kaka mapapa mibale.
Thus hath said the Lord, For three transgressions of Israel, and for four, will I not turn away their punishment; because they sold for silver the righteous, and the needy for a pair of shoes;
7 Bazali konyata mito ya babola ndenge banyataka putulu ya mabele, mpe bazali kokata na bosembo te makambo ya bato bakelela. Tata mpe mwana na ye ya mobali bazali kosangisa nzoto na mwasi moko ya makangu; mpe na bongo, bazali kotiola bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai.
That are eager after the dust of the earth on the head of the poor, and turn aside the way of the meek: and a man and his father will go in unto the same young woman, in order to profane my holy name.
8 Pene ya bitumbelo, bazali kolalela bilamba oyo bazwi na ndanga; mpe kati na ndako ya nzambe na bango, bazali komela vino oyo epesami lokola lomande.
And upon pledged garments they stretch themselves out by every altar, and the wine of the condemned do they drink in the house of their gods.
9 Nzokande, Ngai, nabebisaki bato ya Amori liboso na bango, atako bazali milayi lokola banzete ya sedele mpe makasi lokola banzete ya sheni. Nabebisaki bambuma na yango na likolo, mpe misisa na yango na se.
Yet have I destroyed the Emorite from before them, whose height was like the height of cedars, and who was strong as the oaks; but I destroyed his fruit from above, and his roots from beneath.
10 Nabimisaki bino na Ejipito mpe natambolisaki bino mibu tuku minei kati na esobe mpo na kopesa bino mokili ya bato ya Amori.
And it was I who have brought you up from the land of Egypt, and led you forty years through the wilderness, to take possession of the land of the Emorite.
11 Kati na bana na bino ya mibali, nabimisaki basakoli; mpe kati na bilenge mibali na bino, nabimisaki banaziri. Oh bana ya Isalaele, boni, ezali solo te? » elobi Yawe.
And I have raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for nazarites: is it not even thus, O ye children of Israel? saith the Lord.
12 « Kasi bino, bolangwisi banaziri masanga mpe bopekisi basakoli ete basakola lisusu te.
But ye have given the nazarites wine to drink; and concerning the prophets have ye commanded, saying, Ye shall not prophesy.
13 Sik’oyo, nakonyata bino ndenge shar oyo etonda na maboke ya bambuma enyataka biloko.
Behold, I press down [the ground] under you, as the wagon presseth [it] down that is full of sheaves.
14 Moto oyo aleki na mbangu akobika te, moto oyo aleki makasi akokoka kobimisa makasi na ye te, mpe soda ya mpiko akokoka kobikisa bomoi na ye te.
And refuge shall vanish from the swift, and the strong shall not make use of his force, neither shall the mighty man escape with his life.
15 Mobeti tolotolo akolonga te, soda ya mpiko akokoka kokima te, mpe soda oyo atambolaka likolo ya mpunda akobikisa bomoi na ye te;
And he that handleth the bow shall not be able to stand; and he that is swift of foot shall not escape: neither shall he that rideth the horse escape with his life.
16 ezala basoda oyo baleki makasi, bakokima bolumbu na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe.
And he that is most courageous hearted among the mighty shall flee away naked on that day, saith the Lord.
