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 [is] an empty vine, He makes fruit like to himself, According to the abundance of his fruit, He has multiplied for the altars, According to the goodness of his land, They have made good standing-pillars.
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 has been divided, now they are guilty, He breaks down their altars, He destroys their standing-pillars.
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 say: We have no king, Because we have not feared YHWH, And the king—what does he do for 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.
They have spoken words, To swear falsehood in making a covenant, And flourished as a poisonous herb has judgment, on the furrows of a 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.
For the inhabitants of Samaria fear the calves of Beth-Aven, Surely its people have mourned on account of it, And its priests leap about on account of it, Because of its glory, for it has removed 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.
Also, it is carried to Asshur, a present to a warlike king, Ephraim receives shame, And Israel is ashamed of its own counsel.
7 Mokili ya Samari mpe mokonzi na yango bakotiola likolo ya mayi lokola mwa eteni ya nzete ya kokawuka.
Samaria is cut off! Its king [is] as wrath on the face of the waters.
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 high places of Aven have been destroyed, the sin of Israel. Thorn and bramble go up on their altars, And they have said to hills, Cover us, And to heights, Fall on 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 Gibeah you have sinned, O Israel, There they have stood, Battle does not overtake them in Gibeah, Because of sons of perverseness.
10 Nakopesa bango etumbu ndenge nalingi; bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bakosalela bango likita mpe bakokanga bango minyololo likolo ya masumu mibale oyo basalaki.
When I desire, then I bind them, And peoples have gathered against them, When they bind themselves to 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.
And Ephraim [is] a trained heifer—loving to thresh, And I have passed over on the goodness of its neck, I cause [one] to ride Ephraim, Judah plows, Jacob harrows for him.
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 righteousness, Reap according to loving-kindness, Till for yourselves tillage of knowledge, To seek YHWH, Until He comes and shows righteousness to you.
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 plowed wickedness, Perversity you have reaped, You have eaten the fruit of lying, For you have trusted in your way, In the abundance of your might.
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.
And a tumult rises among your people, And all your fortresses are spoiled, As the spoiling of Shalman of Beth-Arbel, In a day of battle, Mother against sons dashed in pieces.
15 Beteli, makambo oyo ekokomela yo mpo ete mabe na yo eleki ndelo. Tango mokolo yango ekokoka, mokonzi ya Isalaele akozala lisusu te.
Thus has Beth-El done to you, Because of the evil of your wickedness, In the dawn a king of Israel is utterly cut off!”
