Mishe 2
1 Mawa na bato oyo babongisaka kosala mabe, oyo bakanisaka kosala bato mabe na bambeto na bango! Bakokisaka yango na tongo, pamba te bazali na makoki ya kosala yango.
Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! when the morning is light, they practise it, because it is in the power of their hand.
2 Soki baluli bilanga ya moto, bazwaka yango na makasi; soki baluli ndako ya moto, babotolaka yango; bakangaka mokolo ndako mpe biloko na ye ya ndako mpe babotolaka moto libula na ye.
And they covet fields, and take them by violence; and houses, and take them away: so they oppress a man and his house, even a man and his heritage.
3 Mpo na yango, Yawe alobi: « Nazali kobongisa mabe mpo na ekolo ya lolenge oyo: ekozala pasi moko oyo bakokoka komibikisa na yango te. Bakokoka lisusu kotambola na lolendo te, pamba te ekozala tango ya pasi makasi.
Therefore thus saith Yhwh; Behold, against this family do I devise an evil, from which ye shall not remove your necks; neither shall ye go haughtily: for this time is evil.
4 Na mokolo wana, bakosambwisa bino; mpo na kotiola bino, bakobanda koyembela bino banzembo oyo: ‹ Tobebisami penza mobimba! Libula ya bato na ngai ekabwani! Abotoli yango na maboko na ngai mpe akabi bilanga na biso epai ya banguna na biso. › »
In that day shall one take up a parable against you, and lament with a doleful lamentation, and say, We be utterly spoiled: he hath changed the portion of my people: how hath he removed it from me! turning away he hath divided our fields.
5 Yango wana, moko te kati na bino akotikala na lisanga ya Yawe mpo na kokabola mabele na zeke.
Therefore thou shalt have none that shall cast a cord by lot in the congregation of Yhwh.
6 Basakoli na bango bazalaki koloba: « Kosakola te, kosakola makambo ya boye te! Pasi ekokomela biso te. »
Prophesy ye not, say they to them that prophesy: they shall not prophesy to them, that they shall not take shame.
7 Oh libota ya Jakobi, makambo ya boye esengeli solo kolobama? « Boni, Molimo na Yawe atomboki mpo ete asala makambo ya boye? Maloba na Ye ezali ya boboto te mpo na moto oyo atambolaka alima? »
O thou that art named the house of Jacob, is the spirit of Yhwh straitened? are these his doings? do not my words do good to him that walketh uprightly?
8 Na mikolo eleki, bozalaki komona bato na ngai lokola banguna. Bolongolaki bato oyo bazalaki koleka na kimia bilamba ya talo na mawa te, lokola bato oyo bawuti bitumba;
Even of late my people is risen up as an enemy: ye pull off the robe with the garment from them that pass by securely as men averse from war.
9 bobenganaki basi ya bato na ngai longwa na bandako na bango ya kitoko, bolongolaki mpo na libela mapamboli na ngai kati na bana na bango.
The women of my people have ye cast out from their pleasant houses; from their children have ye taken away my glory for ever.
10 Botelema mpe bokende! Awa ezali esika na bino ya kopema te, pamba te ezali mbindo, ebebisami makasi penza, mpe elikya ya kobonga ezali lisusu te.
Arise ye, and depart; for this is not your rest: because it is polluted, it shall destroy you, even with a sore destruction.
11 Soki mokosi moko to moto moko ya lokuta ayei koloba: « Nakosakola mpo na yo; » bongo moto yango azali na se ya milangwa ya vino to ya masanga mosusu ya makasi, moto ya boye asengeli kaka kozala mosakoli ya bato ya lolenge na ye.
If a man walking in the spirit and falsehood do lie, saying, I will prophesy unto thee of wine and of strong drink; he shall even be the prophet of this people.
12 Oh bakitani ya Jakobi, nakosangisa bino nyonso, nakosangisa batikali nyonso ya Isalaele. Nakosangisa bango lokola bameme kati na lopango, lokola bibwele kati na etando na yango ya kolia matiti. Makelele oyo ekoyokana kuna ekozala makelele ya bato ebele.
I will surely assemble, O Jacob, all of thee; I will surely gather the remnant of Israel; I will put them together as the sheep of Bozrah, as the flock in the midst of their fold: they shall make great noise by reason of the multitude of men.
13 Moto oyo apasolaka nzela akotambola liboso na bango. Bakolekela na nzela oyo bapasoli, bakolekela na nzela ya ekuke mpe bakobimela na nzela yango. Mokonzi na bango akotambola liboso na bango, Yawe akozala liboso na bango.
The breaker is come up before them: they have broken up, and have passed through the gate, and are gone out by it: and their king shall pass before them, and Yhwh on the head of them.
