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 vnto your brethren, Ammi, and to your sisters, Ruhamah,
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.
Plead with your mother: plead with her: for she is not my wife, neither am I her husband: but let her take away her fornications out of her sight, and her adulteries from betweene 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 strippe her naked, and set her as in the day that shee was borne, and make her as a wildernes, and leaue her like a drie land, and slaie her for thirst.
4 Nakolinga bana na ye te, pamba te bazali bana oyo babotami na nzela ya kindumba.
And I wil haue no pitie vpon her children: for they be 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 plaied the harlot: she that conceiued them, hath done shamefully: for shee said, I will goe after my louers that giue me my bread and my water, my wooll and my flaxe, mine oyle and my drinke.
6 Yango wana, nakokangela ye nzela na banzube, nakotongela ye mir mpo ete akoka lisusu komona nzela te.
Therefore beholde, I will stoope thy way with thornes, and make an hedge, that shee shall not finde her pathes.
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! »
Though shee follow after her louers, yet shall shee not come at them: though shee seeke them, yet shall shee not finde them: then shall she say, I will goe and returne to my first husband: for at that time was I better then nowe.
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.
Nowe she did not knowe that I gaue her corne, and wine, and oyle, and multiplied her siluer and golde, which they bestowed vpon 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 wil I returne, and take away my corne in the time thereof, and my wine in the season thereof, and will recouer my wool and my flaxe lent, to couer her shame.
10 Boye, nakosambwisa ye na miso ya bamakangu na ye, mpe moto moko te akobikisa ye na maboko na ngai.
And now will I discouer her lewdnes in the sight of her louers, and no man shall deliuer her out of mine 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.
I will also cause all her mirth to cease, her feast daies, her newe moones, and her Sabbathes, and all her solemne feasts.
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 wil destroy her vines and her figtrees, whereof she hath said, These are my rewards that my louers haue giuen mee: and I will make them as a forest, and the wilde beasts shall eate them.
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 wil visit vpon her the daies of Baalim, wherein shee burnt incense to them: and shee decked her selfe with her earings and her iewels, and shee folowed her louers, and forgate 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 beholde, I will allure her, and bring her into the wildernesse, and speake friendly vnto her.
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 giue her her vineyardes from thence, and the valley of Achor for the doore of hope, and shee shall sing there as in the daies of her youth, and as in the daies when shee came vp 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 at that day, sayeth the Lord, thou shalt call me Ishi, and shalt call me no more Baali.
17 Nakolongola na bibebu na ye bakombo ya banzambe ya Bala; bakobelela lisusu bakombo na yango te.
For I will take away the names of Baalim out of her mouth, and they shall be no more remembred by their names.
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 wil I make a couenant for them, with the wilde beasts, and with the foules of the heauen, and with that that creepeth vpon the earth: and I will breake the bowe, and the sworde and the battell out of the earth, and will make them to sleepe safely.
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 wil marry thee vnto me for euer: yea, I will marry thee vnto me in righteousnes, and in iudgement, and in mercy and in compassion.
20 Nakolinga yo lokola mwasi na ngai na solo; mpe na bongo, okoyeba Yawe malamu.
I will euen marry thee vnto me in faithfulnes, and thou shalt knowe the Lord.
21 Na mokolo wana, nakoyanola, elobi Yawe, nakoyanola Lola, mpe Lola ekoyanola mabele.
And in that day I wil heare, saith the Lord, I will euen heare the heauens, and they shall heare the earth,
22 Mabele ekoyanola ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta. Bongo, yango nyonso ekoyanola Jizireyeli.
And the earth shall heare the corne, and the wine, and the oyle, and they shall heare Izreel.
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 sowe her vnto me in the earth, and I will haue mercie vpon her, that was not pitied, and I will say to them which were not my people, Thou art my people. And they shall say, Thou art my God.
