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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Moab, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because he burned 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.

but I will send a fire upon Moab, and it shall devour the palaces of Kerioth; and Moab shall die with tumult, with shouting, and with the sound of the trumpet:

3 Nakobebisa mokonzi na yango mpe nakoboma ye elongo na bakalaka na ye, » elobi Yawe.

and I will cut off the judge from the midst thereof, and will slay all the princes thereof 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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Judah, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have rejected the law of the LORD, and have not kept his statutes, and their lies have caused them to err, after the which their fathers did walk:

5 Nakotia moto kati na ekolo ya Yuda, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako ya engumba Yelusalemi, oyo batonga makasi. »

but I will send a fire upon Judah, and it 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 saith the LORD: For three transgressions of Israel, yea, for four, I will not turn away the punishment thereof; because they have sold the righteous for silver 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 pant 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 unto the [same] maid, 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 they lay themselves down beside every altar upon clothes taken in pledge, and in the house of their God they drink the wine of such as have been fined.

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 destroyed I the Amorite before them, whose height was like the height of the cedars, and he was strong as the oaks; yet 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.

Also I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and led you forty years in the wilderness, to possess the land of the Amorite.

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 raised up of your sons for prophets, and of your young men for Nazirites. 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 gave the Nazirites wine to drink; and commanded the prophets, saying, Prophesy not.

13 Sik’oyo, nakonyata bino ndenge shar oyo etonda na maboke ya bambuma enyataka biloko.

Behold, I will press [you] in your place, as a cart presseth 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 flight shall perish from the swift, and the strong shall not strengthen his force, neither shall the mighty deliver himself:

15 Mobeti tolotolo akolonga te, soda ya mpiko akokoka kokima te, mpe soda oyo atambolaka likolo ya mpunda akobikisa bomoi na ye te;

neither shall he stand that handleth the bow; and he that is swift of foot shall not deliver [himself]: neither shall he that rideth the horse deliver himself:

16 ezala basoda oyo baleki makasi, bakokima bolumbu na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe.

and he that is courageous among the mighty shall flee away naked in that day, saith the LORD.
