Amosi 6
1 Mawa na bino oyo bomimonaka ete bokoka kati na Siona, mpe na bino oyo bokanisaka ete bozali na kimia na likolo ya ngomba Samari, bino bato ya lokumu ya ekolo oyo ekenda sango koleka bikolo mosusu epai wapi bana ya Isalaele bayaka!
Woe to them that are at ease in Zion and that are secure in the mountain of Samaria, the renowned of the first of the nations, to whom the house of Israel come.
2 Bokende na Kaline mpo na kotala makambo oyo elekaki kuna! Bongo longwa kuna, bokende na Amati, engumba monene, mpe bokende lisusu na Gati kati na Filisitia! Boni, bingumba oyo eleki penza bingumba ya mikili ya bokonzi oyo na malamu? Mpe etando na yango eleki ya bino na monene?
Pass unto Calneh, and see; and from thence go to Hamath the great; and go down to Gath of the Philistines: are they better than these kingdoms? or their border greater than your border?
3 Bozali kozongisa mokolo ya pasi sima mpe komibendela bokonzi ya somo.
Ye that put far away the evil day, and cause the seat of violence to come near;
4 Bozali kolala na bambeto oyo batia pembe ya nzoko, bozali komivandisa na bakiti ya divan ya kitoko, bozali kolia misuni ya bameme ya kitoko kati na bibwele mpe ya bana ngombe ya mibali ya mafuta kati na etonga.
that lie upon beds of ivory, and stretch themselves upon their couches, and eat the lambs out of the flock, and the calves from the midst of the stall;
5 Bozali kobeta mandanda na bino lokola Davidi mpe kokotisa bibetelo mindule kati na banzembo na bino.
that chant to the sound of the lute, [and] invent them instruments of music, like David;
6 Bozali komela bakopo etonda na masanga ya vino mpe bozali kopakola mafuta ya talo na banzoto na bino, kasi kobebisama ya ndako ya Jozefi ezali kosala bino pasi na mitema te.
that drink wine in bowls, and anoint themselves with the chief ointments; but are not grieved for the breach of Joseph.
7 Yango wana bokozala bato ya liboso mpo na kokende na bowumbu, mpe bafeti ya bato oyo bamivandisaka na bakiti ya kitoko ekosila.
Therefore shall they now go captive, with the first that go captive, and the revelry of them that stretched themselves shall pass away.
8 Nkolo Yawe alapi ndayi na Kombo na Ye moko; Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Nazali na somo ya lolendo ya Jakobi, nayini bandako na ye, oyo batonga makasi; nakokaba engumba elongo na biloko na yango nyonso. »
The Lord Jehovah hath sworn by himself, saith Jehovah, the God of hosts, I abhor the pride of Jacob, and hate his palaces; and I will deliver up the city with all that is therein.
9 Soki bato zomi batikali na bomoi kati na ndako moko, bango mpe bakokufa.
And it shall come to pass, if there remain ten men in one house, that they shall die.
10 Soki noko moko oyo asengeli kotumba bibembe ayei kobimisa yango na ndako mpe atuni na moto nyonso oyo abombami kuna: — Boni, ozali elongo na moto mosusu kuna? Akozongisa: — Te, moto mosusu azali te! Bongo akoloba lisusu: — Esili! Bakolobela lisusu Kombo ya Yawe te.
And a man's uncle, and he that should burn him, shall take him up to bring out the bones from the house, and shall say unto him that is in the inner parts of the house, Is there yet [any] with thee? and he shall say, None. And he will say, Silence! for we may not make mention of Jehovah's name.
11 Pamba te Yawe apesi mitindo, boye akobuka-buka na biteni ndako monene mpe akobuka-buka na biteni ya mike-mike ndako moke.
For behold, Jehovah commandeth, and he will smite the great house with breaches, and the little house with clefts.
12 Boni, bampunda ekimaka penza mbangu na nzela oyo etonda na mabanga? Ngombe ebalolaka penza mabele na bisika ya ndenge wana? Kasi bino bokomisi bosembo ngenge, mpe mbuma ya bosembo bololo.
Shall horses run upon the rock? will [men] plough [thereon] with oxen? For ye have turned judgment into gall, and the fruit of righteousness into wormwood,
13 Bozali kosepela mpo ete bozwi Lo-Debari mpe bozali komikumisa na koloba: « Boni, tobotoli engumba Karinayimi na makasi na biso moko te? »
— ye that rejoice in a thing of nought, that say, Have we not taken to us power by our own strength?
14 Mpo na yango, Yawe, Nzambe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Oh libota ya Isalaele, nakobimisa ekolo moko oyo ekobundisa mpe ekonyokola yo tango nyonso wuta na Lebo-Amati kino na lubwaku ya Araba. »
For behold, O house of Israel, saith Jehovah the God of hosts, I will raise up against you a nation; and they shall afflict you from the entering in of Hamath unto the torrent of the Arabah.
