Oze 8
1 Tia kelelo na monoko na yo! Lokola mpongo, pasi ekokitela Ndako ya Yawe, mpo ete babebisi boyokani na Ngai mpe batombokeli Mobeko na Ngai.
Set the trumpet to thy mouth: he shall come as an eagle against the House of the Lord, because they haue transgressed my couenant, and trespassed against my Lawe.
2 Isalaele azali kobelela Ngai: « Oh Nzambe na biso, toyebi Yo! »
Israel shall crie vnto me, My God, we know thee.
3 Kasi Isalaele abwaki makambo malamu; yango wana, monguna akolanda ye.
Israel hath cast off ye thing that is good: the enemie shall pursue him.
4 Batunaki Ngai te tango batiaki bakonzi mpe baponaki bakambi. Bamisalelaki banzambe ya bikeko na palata mpe na wolo na bango mpo na libebi na bango moko.
They haue set vp a King, but not by me: they haue made princes, and I knew it not: of their siluer and their gold haue they made them idoles: therefore shall they be destroyed.
5 Oh Samari, nzambe na yo ya ekeko ya mwana ngombe ya mobali ezali nkele! Kanda na Ngai epeli mpo na kobebisa bango. Kino tango nini bakokoka te kotambola na bopeto?
Thy calfe, O Samaria, hath cast thee off: mine anger is kindled against them: howe long will they be without innocencie!
6 Ewuti na Isalaele! Ekeko wana ya mwana ngombe ya mobali, ezali monyangwisi bibende na moto nde asala yango; ezali Nzambe te. Bakobuka yango biteni-biteni, mwana ngombe wana ya Samari.
For it came euen from Israel: the workeman made it, therefore it is not God: but the calfe of Samaria shall be broken in pieces.
7 « Lokola baloni mopepe, bakobuka mopepe ya makasi. Nzete ya ble oyo ezanga moto ebimisaka farine te. Ezala soki ebimisi mito, ezali bapaya nde bakolia yango.
For they haue sowne the winde, and they shall reape the whirlewind: it hath no stalke: the budde shall bring foorth no meale: if so be it bring forth, the strangers shall deuoure it.
8 Isalaele abebisami; tala bango wana kati na bikolo, bazali komonana lokola biloko pamba!
Israel is deuoured, now shall they be among the Gentiles as a vessell wherein is no pleasure.
9 Pamba te bakendeki na Asiri lokola ane ya zamba oyo ezali kotelengana yango moko. Efrayimi apesaki bakado epai ya bamakangu na ye.
For they are gone vp to Asshur: they are as a wilde asse alone by himselfe: Ephraim hath hired louers.
10 Ata apesaki bakado kati na bikolo, sik’oyo Ngai nakosangisa bango esika moko mpe bakobanda kosila kokufa na se ya minyoko ya mokonzi moko ya nguya.
Yet though they haue hired among the nations, nowe will I gather them, and they shall sorowe a litle, for the burden of the King and the princes.
11 Ata Efrayimi atongi bitumbelo ebele mpo na kolongola masumu na ye, kasi bitumbelo yango ekomemisa ye kaka masumu.
Because Ephraim hath made many altars to sinne, his altars shalbe to sinne.
12 Nakomelaki bango makambo ebele ya Mobeko na Ngai, kasi bamonaki yango lokola eloko moko ya mopaya.
I haue written to them the great things of my Lawe: but they were counted as a strange thing.
13 Bazali kobonza bambeka lokola likabo mpo na Ngai, mpe bazali kolia misuni; kasi Yawe azali kosepela na bango te. Sik’oyo, akokanisa mabe na bango mpe akopesa bango etumbu mpo na masumu na bango: bakozonga na Ejipito.
They sacrifice flesh for ye sacrifices of mine offerings, and eate it: but the Lord accepteth them not: now will he remember their iniquitie, and visite their sinnes: they shall returne to Egypt.
14 Isalaele abosani Mokeli na ye mpe atongi bandako ya kitoko; Yuda atongi bingumba ebele batonga makasi; kasi Ngai nakotinda moto kati na bingumba na bango, mpe ekotumba bandako na bango ya kitoko. »
For Israel hath forgotten his maker, and buildeth Temples, and Iudah hath increased strong cities: but I will sende a fire vpon his cities, and it shall deuoure the palaces thereof.
