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 those who plan iniquity, to those who plan on their beds to do evil. In the morning light they do it because they have power.
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.
They desire fields and seize them; they desire houses and take them. They oppress a man and his house, a man and his inheritance.
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 Yahweh says this, “Look, I am about to bring disaster against this clan, from which you will not remove your necks. You will not walk arrogantly, for it will be an evil time.
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 men will sing a song about you, and lament with a wailing lamentation. They will sing, 'We Israelites are completely ruined; Yahweh changes the territory of my people. How can he remove it from me? He portions out our fields to traitors!'”
5 Yango wana, moko te kati na bino akotikala na lisanga ya Yawe mpo na kokabola mabele na zeke.
Therefore, you rich people will have no descendants to divide up the territory by lot in the assembly of Yahweh.
6 Basakoli na bango bazalaki koloba: « Kosakola te, kosakola makambo ya boye te! Pasi ekokomela biso te. »
“Do not prophesy,” they say. “They must not prophesy these things; reproaches must not come.”
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? »
Should it really be said, house of Jacob, “Is the Spirit of Yahweh angry? Are these really his deeds?” Do not my words do good to anyone who walks 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;
Lately my people have risen up like an enemy. You strip the robe, the garment, from those who pass by unsuspectingly, as soldiers return from war to what they think is safety.
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.
You drive the women belonging to my people from their pleasant houses; you take my blessing from their young children forever.
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.
Get up and leave, for this is not a place where you can stay, because of its uncleanness; it is destroyed with complete 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 someone comes to you in a spirit of falsehood and lies and says, “I will prophesy to you about wine and strong drink,” he would be considered to be a prophet for 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 all of you, Jacob. I will surely gather the remnant of Israel. I will bring them together like sheep in a fold, like a flock in the midst of their pasture. There will be a loud noise because of the multitude of people.
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.
Someone who breaks open their way for them will go ahead of them. They break through the gate and go out; their king will pass on before them. Yahweh will be at their head.
