Oze 10
1 Isalaele azalaki lokola nzete ya vino ya bitape ebele, azalaki kobota mbuma mpo na ye moko. Ndenge azalaki kobota mbuma ebele, ndenge wana mpe atongaki bitumbelo ebele; ndenge mabele na ye ekomaki kitoko, ndenge wana mpe abongisaki mabanga na ye ya bule.
Israel a vine full of branches, the fruit is agreeable to it: according to the multitude of his fruit he hath multiplied altars, according to the plenty of his land he hath abounded with idols.
2 Mitema na bango etondi na mabe mpe basengeli sik’oyo kofuta masumu na bango. Ye moko Yawe akokaba bitumbelo na bango mpe akopanza mabanga na bango ya bule.
Their heart is divided: now they shall perish: he shall break down their idols, he shall destroy their altars.
3 Boye bakoloba: « Tozali na mokonzi te, pamba te totosaki Yawe te. Ata tozalaki na mokonzi, akokaki kosala nini mpo na biso? »
For now they shall say: We have no king: because we fear not the Lord: and what shall a king do to us?
4 Bapesaka bilaka ebele, balapaka ndayi ya lokuta mpe basalaka boyokani. Boye, bosembo ekomi lokola matiti ya ngenge oyo ekolaka na bisika oyo bakataka bilanga.
You speak words of an unprofitable vision, and you shall make a covenant: and judgment shall spring up as bitterness in the furrows of the field.
5 Bavandi ya Samari bazali kolenga mpo na mwana ngombe ya mwasi ya Beti-Aveni; bato na yango mpe Banganga-Nzambe oyo bagumbamelaka ekeko ya mwana ngombe bakosala matanga na tina na yango. Tika ete basepela lelo mpo ete nkembo ya mwana ngombe elongwe kati na bango.
The inhabitants of Samaria have worshipped the king of Bethaven: for the people thereof have mourned over it, and the wardens of its temple that rejoiced over it in its glory because it is departed from it.
6 Bakomema ekeko ya mwana ngombe yango na Asiri lokola likabo mpo na mokonzi monene. Efrayimi akoyoka soni, mpe Isalaele akosambwa mpo na mabongisi oyo basalaki.
For itself also is carried into Assyria, a present to the avenging king: shame shall fall upon Ephraim, and Israel shall be confounded in his own will.
7 Mokili ya Samari mpe mokonzi na yango bakotiola likolo ya mayi lokola mwa eteni ya nzete ya kokawuka.
Samaria hath made her king to pass as froth upon the face of the water.
8 Bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba ya Beti-Aveni epai wapi Isalaele azalaki kosala masumu ekobebisama. Banzube mpe basende ekobota na bitumbelo na bango mpe ekozipa yango. Bongo bakoloba na bangomba milayi: « Bozipa biso! » Mpe bakoloba na bangomba mikuse: « Bokweyela biso! »
And the high places of the idol, the sin of Israel shall be destroyed: the bur and the thistle shall grow up over their altars: and they shall say to the mountains: Cover us; and to the hills: Fall upon us.
9 Isalaele, osalaki masumu wuta na mokolo ya Gibea mpe obongwani te. Boni, bitumba ekomeli bato mabe ya Gibea te?
From the days of Gabaa, Israel hath sinned, there they stood: the battle in Gabaa against the children of iniquity shall not overtake them.
10 Nakopesa bango etumbu ndenge nalingi; bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bakosalela bango likita mpe bakokanga bango minyololo likolo ya masumu mibale oyo basalaki.
According to my desire I will chastise them: and the nations shall be gathered together against them, when they shall be chastised for their two iniquities.
11 Efrayimi azali lokola mwana ngombe ya mwasi oyo babokola malamu, alingaka kobeta ble; kasi nakotia ekangiseli na kingo na ye ya kitoko. Nakotambolisa Efrayimi lokola mpunda, Yuda akobalola mabele, Jakobi akopanza-panza yango.
Ephraim is a heifer taught to love to tread out corn, but I passed over upon the beauty of her neck: I will ride upon Ephraim, Juda shall plough, Jacob shall break the furrows for himself.
12 Bolona bosembo mpo na bino moko mpe bokobuka mbuma ya bolingo ya solo. Bomikatela bilanga ya sika, pamba te tango ya koluka Yawe ekoki kino tango akoya kosopela bino bosembo.
Sow for yourselves in justice, and reap in the mouth of mercy, break up your fallow ground: but the time to seek the Lord is, when he shall come that shall teach you justice.
13 Bolonaki makambo mabe, bobukaki mpe makambo mabe mpe boliaki mbuma ya lokuta, pamba te botiaki elikya na makasi mpe na ebele ya basoda na bino.
You have ploughed wickedness, you have reaped iniquity, you have eaten the fruit of lying: because thou hast trusted in thy ways, in the multitude of thy strong ones.
14 Yango wana, lokito ya bitumba ekoyokana kati na yo, bandako na yo nyonso oyo batonga makasi ekobebisama; ndenge Salimani abebisaki Beti-Aribeli na mokolo ya bitumba, tango bamama mpe bana na bango bakweyaki na mabele.
A tumult shall arise among thy people: and all thy fortresses shall be destroyed as Salmana was destroyed, by the house of him that judged Baal in the day of battle, the mother being dashed in pieces upon her children.
15 Beteli, makambo oyo ekokomela yo mpo ete mabe na yo eleki ndelo. Tango mokolo yango ekokoka, mokonzi ya Isalaele akozala lisusu te.
So hath Bethel done to you, because of the evil of your iniquities.
