Oze 2
1 — Loba na bandeko na yo ya mibali: « Bozali bato na ngai, » mpe na bandeko na yo ya basi: « Bozali balingami na ngai. »
Say ye to your brethren: You are my people, and to your sister: Thou hast obtained mercy.
2 Bopamela mama na bino, bopamela ye; pamba te azali lisusu mwasi na ngai te, mpe ngai nazali lisusu mobali na ye te. Tika ete alongola bilembo ya kindumba na elongi na ye mpe bilembo ya ekobo na mabele na ye.
Judge your mother, judge her: because she is not my wife, and I am not her husband. Let her put away her fornications from her face, and her adulteries from between her breasts.
3 Soki te, nakolongola ye bilamba mpe nakotika ye bolumbu ndenge babotela ye, nakokomisa ye lokola esobe, lokola mokili oyo ekawuka; mpe akokufa na posa ya mayi.
Lest I strip her naked, and set her as in the day that she was born: and I will make her as a wilderness, and will set her as a land that none can pass through, and will kill her with drought.
4 Nakolinga bana na ye te, pamba te bazali bana oyo babotami na nzela ya kindumba.
And I will not have mercy on her children: for they are the children of fornications.
5 Mama na bango atambolaki na kindumba, mpe ye oyo abotaki bango azali mwasi ya lokumu te. Alobaki: « Nakolanda bamakangu na ngai, oyo bapesaka ngai bilei mpe mayi, bilamba ya lino mpe bilamba basala na bapwale ya meme, mafuta mpe masanga. »
For their mother hath committed fornication, she that conceived them is covered with shame: for she said: I will go after my lovers, that give me my bread, and my water, my wool, and my flax, my oil, and my drink.
6 Yango wana, nakokangela ye nzela na banzube, nakotongela ye mir mpo ete akoka lisusu komona nzela te.
Wherefore behold I will hedge up thy way with thorns, and I will stop it up with a wall, and she shall not find her paths.
7 Akolanda bamakangu na ye, kasi akozwa bango te; akoluka bango, kasi akomona bango te. Bongo akoloba: « Tika nazongela mobali na ngai ya liboso; pamba te elongo na mobali ya liboso, nazalaki na esengo koleka sik’oyo! »
And she shall follow after her lovers, and shall not overtake them: and she shall seek them, and shall not find, and she shall say: I will go, and return to my first husband, because it was better with me then, than now.
8 Asosolaki te ete ngai nde nazalaki kopesa ye ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta; ete ngai nde nasopelaki ye palata mpe wolo oyo basaleli bikeko ya Bala.
And she did not know that I gave her corn and wine, and oil, and multiplied her silver, and gold, which they have used in the service of Baal.
9 Yango wana, nakobotola ble na ngai na tango ya kobuka, vino na ngai ya sika na tango ya kokamola yango; nakobotola bilamba na ngai oyo basala na bapwale ya meme, mpe bilamba na ngai ya lino oyo azalaki kozipa na yango bolumbu na ye.
Therefore will I return, and take away my corn in its season, and my wine in its season, and I will set at liberty my wool, and my flax, which covered her disgrace.
10 Boye, nakosambwisa ye na miso ya bamakangu na ye, mpe moto moko te akobikisa ye na maboko na ngai.
And now I will lay open her folly in the eyes of her lovers: and no man shall deliver her out of my hand:
11 Nakosukisa bisengo na ye nyonso: bafeti na ye ya mobu na mobu mpe ya ebandeli ya sanza, mikolo na ye ya Saba mpe bafeti nyonso oyo ekatama.
And I will cause all her mirth to cease, her solemnities, her new moons, her sabbaths, and all her festival times.
12 Nakobebisa bilanga na ye ya vino mpe banzete na ye ya figi oyo azalaki koloba na tina na yango: « Ezali bakado oyo bamakangu na ngai bapesaki ngai; » nakokomisa yango matiti ya zamba, mpe banyama ya zamba ekolia yango.
And I will destroy her vines, and her fig trees, of which she said: These are my rewards, which my lovers have given me: and I will make her as a forest, and the beasts of the field shall devour her.
13 Nakopesa ye etumbu mpo na mikolo nyonso oyo atumbelaki nzambe ya Bala malasi ya ansa. Azalaki kolata babiju mpe mayaka ya talo mpo na kokende epai ya bamakangu na ye; kasi ngai, abosanaki Ngai, elobi Yawe.
And I will visit upon her the days of Baalim, to whom she burnt incense, and decked herself out with her earrings, and with her jewels, and went after her lovers, and forgot me, saith the Lord.
14 Yango wana, nakobuka ye motema, nakomema ye na esobe; mpe kuna, nakoloba na motema na ye maloba na bolingo.
Therefore, behold I will allure her, and will lead her into the wilderness: and I will speak to her heart.
15 Kuna nde nakozongisela ye bilanga na ye ya vino mpe nakokomisa Lubwaku ya Akori ekuke ya elikya. Kuna, akoyanola na esengo lokola na tango ya bolenge na ye, lokola na mokolo oyo abimaki na Ejipito.
And I will give her vinedressers out of the same place, and the valley of Achor for an opening of hope: and she shall sing there according to the days of her youth, and according to the days of her coming up out of the land of Egypt.
16 Na mokolo wana, elobi Yawe, okobenga ngai: « Mobali na ngai ya libala; » okobenga ngai lisusu te: « Nkolo na ngai. »
And it shall be in that day, saith the Lord, That she shall call me: My husband, and she shall call me no more Baali.
17 Nakolongola na bibebu na ye bakombo ya banzambe ya Bala; bakobelela lisusu bakombo na yango te.
And I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and she shall no more remember their name.
18 Na mokolo wana, nakosala boyokani mpo na bango elongo na banyama ya zamba, bandeke ya likolo, mpe bikelamu oyo etambolaka na libumu. Nakobuka tolotolo mpe mopanga, mpe nakosilisa bitumba: nyonso wana ekosila na mokili mpo ete bato nyonso bavanda na kimia.
And in that day I will make a covenant with them, with the beasts of the field, and with the fowls of the air, and with the creeping things of the earth: and I will destroy the bow, and the sword, and war out of the land: and I will make them sleep secure.
19 Nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai mpo na libela, nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai na solo mpe na bosembo, na bolingo mpe na esengo.
And I will espouse thee to me for ever: and I will espouse thee to me in justice, and judgment, and in mercy, and in commiserations.
20 Nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai na solo; mpe na bongo, okoyeba Yawe malamu.
And I will espouse thee to me in faith: and thou shalt know that I am the Lord.
21 Na mokolo wana, nakoyanola, elobi Yawe, nakoyanola Lola, mpe Lola ekoyanola mabele.
And it shall come to pass in that day: I will hear, saith the Lord, I will hear the heavens, and they shall hear the earth.
22 Mabele ekoyanola ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta. Bongo, yango nyonso ekoyanola Jizireyeli.
And the earth shall hear the core, and the wine, and the oil, and these shall hear Jezrahel.
23 Nakolona ye mpo na Ngai moko kati na mokili mpo ete azala lokola nzete ya elanga na Ngai; nakotalisa bolingo na Ngai epai na ye oyo nazalaki kobenga Lo-Rukama. Nakoloba na bato oyo nazalaki kobenga Lo-Ami: « Bozali bato na Ngai, » mpe bango bakoloba: « Ozali Nzambe na biso. »
And I will sow her unto me in the earth, and I will have mercy on her that was without mercy. And I will say to that which was not my people: Thou art my people: and they shall say: Thou art my God.
