Micah 6
1 Listen now to what Yahweh says: “Arise, plead your case before the mountains, and let the hills hear what you have to say.
Boyoka makambo oyo Yawe alobi: « Telema mpe samba likambo na yo liboso ya bangomba, mpe tika ete bangomba mikuse eyoka makambo oyo ozali koloba!
2 Hear, you mountains, Yahweh’s indictment, and you enduring foundations of the earth; for Yahweh has a case against his people, and he will contend with Israel.
Bino bangomba mpe bino miboko oyo eninganaka te, boyoka likambo oyo Yawe afundeli bato na Ye, pamba te azwi bango na likambo mpe alingi kosamba na Isalaele.
3 My people, what have I done to you? How have I burdened you? Answer me!
Bino bato na Ngai, nasali bino penza nini? Boyanola Ngai nanu, nalembisi bino na likambo nini?
4 For I brought you up out of the land of Egypt, and redeemed you out of the house of bondage. I sent before you Moses, Aaron, and Miriam.
Ezali te mpo ete nabimisaki bino na Ejipito to mpo ete nakangolaki bino na ndako ya bowumbu? Boni, ezali te mpo ete natindelaki bino Moyize, Aron mpe Miriami mpo ete bakamba bino?
5 My people, remember now what Balak king of Moab devised, and what Balaam the son of Beor answered him from Shittim to Gilgal, that you may know the righteous acts of Yahweh.”
Bato na Ngai, bokanisa nanu makambo oyo Balaki, mokonzi ya Moabi, akanaki kosala bino, mpe makambo oyo Balami, mwana mobali ya Beori, azongiselaki ye. Bokanisa nanu nzela oyo botambolaki longwa na Sitimi kino na Giligali mpo ete bokoka kondima ata misala ya bosembo ya Yawe. »
6 How shall I come before Yahweh, and bow myself before the exalted God? Shall I come before him with burnt offerings, with calves a year old?
Eloko nini penza tokoki komema epai na Yawe mpo na kofukama liboso ya Nzambe-Oyo-Aleki-Likolo? Boni, tomema bambeka ya kotumba to bana ngombe ya mibali ya mobu moko?
7 Will Yahweh be pleased with thousands of rams? With tens of thousands of rivers of oil? Shall I give my firstborn for my disobedience? The fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
Yawe akosepela solo soki tomemeli Ye minkoko ya bameme ya mibali to soki topesi Ye mafuta ebele lokola mayi ya ebale? Boni, topesa solo bana na biso ya liboso mpo ete tozwa bolimbisi masumu na biso? Boni, topesa bana na biso ya mibali oyo bawuti na mikongo na biso mpo ete akoka kolongola masumu na biso?
8 He has shown you, O man, what is good. What does Yahweh require of you, but to act justly, to love mercy, and to walk humbly with your God?
Oh moto, bateyaki yo makambo oyo ezali malamu. Mpe tala makambo oyo Yawe azali kosenga epai na yo: Tambola na bosembo, linga boboto mpe tambola elongo na Nzambe na yo na komikitisa.
9 Yahweh’s voice calls to the city— and wisdom fears your name— “Listen to the rod, and he who appointed it.
Boyoka! Yawe azali kobelela na engumba! Kotosa Kombo na Ye, yango nde kozala na bwanya. Boyoka sango ya etumbu na bino na monoko na Ye oyo atindi yango!
10 Are there yet treasures of wickedness in the house of the wicked, and a short ephah that is accursed?
Oh libota ya mobulu, boni, nasepela penza komona bomengo na bino, oyo bosili kozwa na nzela ya mabe, Efa ekoka te oyo elakelama mabe?
11 Shall I tolerate dishonest scales, and a bag of deceitful weights?
Boni, nazanga penza kopesa etumbu epai ya moto oyo asalelaka kilo ya lokuta, mpe oyo azali na libenga etonda na bimekelo kilo ya lokuta?
12 Her rich men are full of violence, her inhabitants speak lies, and their tongue is deceitful in their speech.
Bazwi ya libota oyo batondi na kanza, bato ya libota oyo batondi na lokuta, mpe mosala ya bibebu na bango ezali kaka kokosa.
13 Therefore I also have struck you with a grievous wound. I have made you desolate because of your sins.
Yango wana, Ngai nakobeta yo na nzela ya pasi mpe nakobebisa yo mpo na masumu na yo.
14 You shall eat, but not be satisfied. Your hunger will be within you. You will store up, but not save, and that which you save I will give up to the sword.
Okolia, kasi okotonda te, pamba te nzala makasi ekokota na ndako na yo. Okosala ekonzo, kasi okobatela eloko moko te, pamba te nakokaba yango na mopanga.
15 You will sow, but won’t reap. You will tread the olives, but won’t anoint yourself with oil; and crush grapes, but won’t drink the wine.
Okolona bilanga, kasi okobuka bambuma te; okokamola bambuma ya olive, kasi okomipakola mafuta na yango te; okokamola bambuma ya vino, kasi okomela masanga na yango te.
16 For the statutes of Omri are kept, and all the works of Ahab’s house. You walk in their counsels, that I may make you a ruin, and your inhabitants a hissing. You will bear the reproach of my people.”
Lokola obatelaki malako ya Omiri mpe osalaki misala nyonso ya mabe ya ndako ya Akabi, nakokaba yo mpo ete obebisama, nakokaba bato na yo mpo ete batiolama; bongo bokolata soni ya libota na Ngai.
