Oze 5
1 Bino Banganga-Nzambe, boyoka! Bino bana ya Isalaele, bofungola matoyi! Bino mpe bato oyo bosalaka na ndako ya mokonzi, boyoka! Ezali bino nde bosengelaki kosambisa, kasi bozalaki lokola motambo, na Mitsipa, mpe lokola monyama batanda, na Tabori.
Hear this, priests, and pay attention, house of Israel, and listen closely, house of the king. For there is a judgment against you, because you have become a trap for those you watched over, and a net stretched out over Tabor.
2 Batomboki batimolaki libulu ya mozindo; mpe Ngai nakopesa bango nyonso etumbu.
And you have led astray victims into the depths, though I am the teacher of them all.
3 Nayebi Efrayimi malamu penza; mpe Isalaele azali ya kobombama te na miso na Ngai. Efrayimi, awa omipesaki na kindumba, Isalaele mobimba akomi mbindo mpo na yango.
I know Ephraim, and Israel has not been hidden from me, yet now Ephraim has committed fornication, and Israel has been contaminated.
4 Misala na bango ezali kopekisa bango kozonga epai ya Nzambe na bango, mpo ete molimo ya kindumba evandi kati na mitema na bango, bazali koyeba Yawe te.
They will not set their thoughts to return to their God, for the spirit of fornication is in the midst of them, and they have not known the Lord.
5 Lolendo ya Isalaele ezali kofunda bango; ezala bato ya Efrayimi to ya Isalaele bakokweya mpo na masumu na bango; bato ya Yuda mpe bakokweya elongo na bango.
And the arrogance of Israel will answer to his face. And Israel and Ephraim will fall in their iniquity, and even Judah will fall with them.
6 Tango bakokende koluka Yawe, elongo na bangombe mpe bameme na bango, bakomona Ye te, pamba te akabwanaki na bango.
With their flocks and their herds, they will go to seek the Lord, and they will not find him. He has taken himself away from them.
7 Bazali sembo te liboso ya Yawe, baboti bana makangu; sik’oyo, bafeti na bango ya ebandeli ya sanza ekoboma bango nzela moko na bomengo na bango.
They have sinned against the Lord. For they have conceived sons that are strangers. Now one month will devour them with all their own.
8 Bobeta kelelo, na Gibea, mpe liseke, kuna na Rama! Bobeta lolaka ya bitumba na Beti-Aveni! Oh Benjame, keba!
Sound the bugle in Gibeah, the trumpet in Ramah. Shout in Bethaven, behind your back, O Benjamin.
9 Efrayimi akobebisama na mokolo ya etumbu na ye. Nazali koloba makambo ya solo kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
Ephraim will be in desolation on the day of correction, for within the tribes of Israel, I have revealed faith.
10 Bakambi ya Yuda bazali lokola bato oyo bapusaka bandelo. Nakopelisela bango kanda na Ngai lokola mpela.
The leaders of Judah have become like those who assume the end. I will pour my wrath over them like water.
11 Efrayimi azali konyokwama, anyatami na etumbu, pamba te akangamaki na kolanda kaka banzambe ya bikeko.
Ephraim has been enduring malicious slander and broken judgment, because he began to go after filth.
12 Mpe Ngai, nakomi lokola nseka na miso ya Efrayimi, lokola eloko ya kopola na miso ya bato ya Yuda.
And I will be like a moth to Ephraim, and like decay to the house of Judah.
13 Tango Efrayimi amonaki bokono na ye, mpe Yuda amonaki bapota na ye, Efrayimi abalukaki na ngambo ya Asiri mpe atindaki sango epai ya mokonzi monene mpo na kozwa lisungi, kasi ye akokoka kobikisa mpe kosilisa bapota na yo te.
And Ephraim saw his own weakness, and Judah his chains. And Ephraim went to Assur, and he sent to the Avenging king. But he will not be able to heal you, nor is he able to release you from your chains.
14 Pamba te nakozala lokola nkosi liboso ya Efrayimi, mpe lokola mwana nkosi liboso ya Yuda. Nakokata-kata bango na biteni mpe nakokende, nakomema bango, mpe moto akobikisa bango akozala te.
For I will be like a lioness to Ephraim, and like a lion’s offspring to the house of Judah. I myself will seize and go forth. I will take away, and there is no one who can rescue.
15 Nakozonga epai na Ngai kino tango bakososola mabe na bango mpe bakoluka elongi na Ngai; kati na pasi, bakoluka Ngai makasi.
I will go and return to my place, until you shall grow faint and seek my face.
