Micah 2
1 A curse on the designers of evil, working on their beds! in the morning light they do it, because it is in their power.
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.
2 They have a desire for fields and take them by force; and for houses and take them away: they are cruel to a man and his family, even to a man and his heritage.
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.
3 For this cause the Lord has said, See, against this family I am purposing an evil from which you will not be able to take your necks away, and you will be weighted down by it; for it is an evil time.
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.
4 In that day this saying will be said about you, and this song of grief will be made: The heritage of my people is measured out, and there is no one to give it back; those who have made us prisoners have taken our fields from us, and complete destruction has come to us.
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. › »
5 For this cause you will have no one to make the decision by the measuring line in the meeting of the Lord.
Yango wana, moko te kati na bino akotikala na lisanga ya Yawe mpo na kokabola mabele na zeke.
6 Let not words like these be dropped, they say: Shame and the curse will not come to the family of Jacob!
Basakoli na bango bazalaki koloba: « Kosakola te, kosakola makambo ya boye te! Pasi ekokomela biso te. »
7 Is the Lord quickly made angry? are these his doings? do not his words do good to his people Israel?
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? »
8 As for you, you have become haters of those who were at peace with you: you take the clothing of those who go by without fear, and make them prisoners of war.
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;
9 The women of my people you have been driving away from their dearly loved children; from their young ones you are taking my glory for ever.
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.
10 Up! and go; for this is not your rest: because it has been made unclean, the destruction ordered will come on you.
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.
11 If a man came with a false spirit of deceit, saying, I will be a prophet to you of wine and strong drink: he would be the sort of prophet for this people.
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.
12 I will certainly make all of you, O Jacob, come together; I will get together the rest of Israel; I will put them together like the sheep in their circle: like a flock in their green field; they will be full of the noise of men.
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.
13 The opener of the way will go up before them: forcing their way out they will go on to the doorway and out through it: their king will go on before them, and the Lord at their head.
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.
