Oze 9
1 Isalaele, kosepela te; kozala na esengo te lokola bikolo mosusu; pamba te otikaki Nzambe na yo mpe okendeki kosala kindumba; osepelaki na lifuti ya kindumba na bitando nyonso oyo batutelaka ble.
Rejoice not, O Israel: rejoice not as the nations do: for thou hast committed fornication against thy God, thou hast loved a reward upon every cornfloor.
2 Etando oyo batutelaka ble mpe ekamolelo masanga ya vino ekopesa bango bilei te, mpe bakozanga vino ya sika.
The floor and the winepress shall not feed them, and the wine shall deceive them.
3 Bakovanda lisusu te na mboka na Yawe; Efrayimi akozonga na Ejipito, mpe bakolia bilei ya mbindo kati na Asiri.
They shall not dwell in the Lord’s land: Ephraim is returned to Egypt, and hath eaten unclean things among the Assyrians.
4 Bakobonzela lisusu Yawe makabo ya masanga ya vino te, mpe bambeka na bango ekosepelisa lisusu Yawe te. Ekozala mpo na bango lokola bilei ya matanga: bato nyonso oyo bakolia yango bakokoma mbindo; pamba te bilei na bango ekozala kaka mpo na mabumu na bango, kasi ekokota te na Tempelo ya Yawe.
They shall not offer wine to the Lord, neither shall they please him: their sacrifices shall be like the bread of mourners: all that shall eat it shall be defiled: for their bread is life for their soul, it shall not enter into the house of the Lord.
5 Boye, bokosala nini na mikolo ya bafeti oyo ekatama, na mikolo ya bafeti ya Yawe?
What will you do in the solemn day, in the day of the feast of the Lord?
6 Ata soki bakimi, bakobebisama; Ejipito ekoyamba bango, Mefisi ekozala kunda na bango; matiti mabe ekotonda na bibombelo palata na bango, banzube ekotonda kati na bandako na bango.
For behold they are gone because of destruction: Egypt shall gather them together, Memphis shall bury them: nettles shall inherit their beloved silver, the bur shall be in their tabernacles.
7 Mikolo ya etumbu ezali koya, mikolo ya kofuta masumu esili koya. Isalaele, yeba yango! Mosakoli akomi zoba, moto ya Molimo abeli liboma! Pamba te masumu na yo ekomi ebele penza, mpe mabe na yo ekomi mingi liboso na ngai.
The days of visitation are come, the days of repaying are come: know ye, O Israel, that the prophet was foolish, the spiritual man was mad, for the multitude of thy iniquity, and the multitude of thy madness.
8 Mokengeli ya Efrayimi azali elongo na Nzambe na ngai, azali mosakoli; Nzokande bazali kotiela ye mitambo na banzela na ye nyonso mpe bazali kotelemela ye kino na Ndako ya Nzambe na ye.
The watchman of Ephraim was with my God: the prophet is become a snare of ruin upon all his ways, madness is in the house of his God.
9 Bamikotisi penza kati na mabe ndenge basalaki na mikolo ya Gibea. Nzambe akobosana mabe na bango te mpe akopesa bango etumbu mpo na masumu na bango.
They have sinned deeply, as in the days of Gabaa: he will remember their iniquity, and will visit their sin.
10 Tango namonaki Isalaele, azalaki lokola bambuma ya vino kati na esobe. Tango namonaki bakoko na bino, bazalaki lokola bambuma ya liboso ya nzete ya figi. Kasi tango bakomaki na Bala Peori, bamipesaki na nzambe oyo ya ekeko ya soni mpe bakomaki nkele lokola eloko oyo bango balingaki.
I found Israel like grapes in the desert, I saw their fathers like the firstfruits of the fig tree in the top thereof: but they went in to Beelphegor, and alienated themselves to that confusion, and became abominable, as those things were, which they loved.
11 Nkembo ya Efrayimi ekokima lokola ndeke, wuta na mbotama, wuta na zemi, wuta na ebandeli ya zemi.
As for Ephraim, their glory hath flown away like a bird from the birth, and from the womb, and from the conception.
12 Ezala soki babokoli bana, nakobotola bango liboso ete bakola. Solo, mawa na bango tango nakopesa bango mokongo!
And though they should bring up their children, I will make them without children among men: yea, and woe to them, when I shall depart from them.
13 Nazali komona Efrayimi lokola engumba Tiri oyo etongama na likolo ya mabele ya kitoko; nzokande, Efrayimi akokaba bana na ye na mobomi.
Ephraim, as I saw, was a Tyre founded in beauty: and Ephraim shall bring out his children to the murderer.
14 Oh Yawe, pesa bango… Okopesa bango nini? Pesa bango mabumu oyo esopaka bazemi, mpe mabele oyo ekawuka.
Give them, O Lord. What wilt thou give them? Give them a womb without children, and dry breasts.
15 Nayinaki bango mpo na mabe na bango nyonso oyo basalaki na Giligali; Nakobengana bango na Ndako na Ngai mpo na misala na bango ya mabe. Nakolinga bango lisusu te, pamba te bakonzi na bango nyonso bazali batomboki.
All their wickedness is in Galgal, for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their devices I will cast them forth out of my house: I will love them no more, all their princes are revolters.
16 Efrayimi alembi, misisa na ye ekawuki; akobota lisusu bambuma te; ata soki baboti bana, nakoboma bana na bango oyo balingaka mingi.
Ephraim is struck, their root is dried up, they shall yield no fruit. And if they should have issue, I will slay the best beloved fruit of their womb.
17 Nzambe na ngai akobwaka bango, pamba te batosaki Ye te, mpe bakokoma koyengayenga kati na bikolo.
My God will cast them away, because they hearkened not to him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
