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, O priests, and attend, O house of Israel, And, O house of the king, give ear, For the judgment [is] for you, For you have been a snare on Mizpah, And a net spread out on Tabor.
2 Batomboki batimolaki libulu ya mozindo; mpe Ngai nakopesa bango nyonso etumbu.
And to slaughter sinners have gone deep, And I [am] a chain to 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 have known Ephraim, And Israel has not been hid from Me, For now you have gone whoring, Ephraim, Israel is defiled.
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 do not give up their habitual doings, To turn back to their God, For a spirit of whoredoms [is] in their midst, And YHWH they have not known.
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 humbled has been the excellence of Israel to his face, And Israel and Ephraim stumble by their iniquity, Judah has also stumbled with them.
6 Tango bakokende koluka Yawe, elongo na bangombe mpe bameme na bango, bakomona Ye te, pamba te akabwanaki na bango.
With their flock and with their herd, They go to seek YHWH, and do not find, He has withdrawn from them.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.
Against YHWH they dealt treacherously, For they have begotten strange sons, Now a month consumes them [with] their portions.
8 Bobeta kelelo, na Gibea, mpe liseke, kuna na Rama! Bobeta lolaka ya bitumba na Beti-Aveni! Oh Benjame, keba!
Blow a horn in Gibeah, a trumpet in Ramah, Shout, O Beth-Aven, after you, O Benjamin.
9 Efrayimi akobebisama na mokolo ya etumbu na ye. Nazali koloba makambo ya solo kati na bikolo ya Isalaele.
Ephraim is for a desolation in a day of reproof, I have made known a sure thing among the tribes of Israel.
10 Bakambi ya Yuda bazali lokola bato oyo bapusaka bandelo. Nakopelisela bango kanda na Ngai lokola mpela.
Princes of Judah have been as those removing a border, I pour out My wrath as water on them.
11 Efrayimi azali konyokwama, anyatami na etumbu, pamba te akangamaki na kolanda kaka banzambe ya bikeko.
Ephraim is oppressed, broken in judgment, When he pleased he went after the command.
12 Mpe Ngai, nakomi lokola nseka na miso ya Efrayimi, lokola eloko ya kopola na miso ya bato ya Yuda.
And I [am] as a moth to Ephraim, And as a rotten thing 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 sees his sickness, and Judah his wound, And Ephraim goes to Asshur, And sends to a warlike king, And he is not able to give healing to you, Nor does he remove a scar from you.
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 [am] as a lion to Ephraim, And as a young lion to the house of Judah, I tear and go, I carry away, and there is no deliverer.
15 Nakozonga epai na Ngai kino tango bakososola mabe na bango mpe bakoluka elongi na Ngai; kati na pasi, bakoluka Ngai makasi.
I go—I return to My place, Until they are desolate, and have sought My face. In their distress they seek Me speedily!”
