Amosi 4
1 Bino bangombe ya basi ya Bashani, boyoka maloba oyo; bozali lokola ngomba ya Samari, bino bato oyo bonyokolaka babola, bomonisaka bato bakelela pasi mpe bolobaka na mibali na bino: « Bomemela biso masanga mpo tomela. »
Hear this word, all of you cattle of Bashan, that are in the mountain of Samaria, which oppress the poor, which crush the needy, which say to their masters, Bring, and let us drink.
2 Nkolo Yawe alapi ndayi mpo na bosantu na Ye: « Solo, na mikolo ekoya, bakomema bino mpe bana na bino na bandobo;
The Lord GOD has sworn by his holiness, that, lo, the days shall come upon you, that he will take you away with hooks, and your posterity with fishhooks.
3 bokobimela na madusu kati na mir, moko na moko na lidusu oyo ezali liboso na ye, mpe bakobengana bino kino na ngomba Erimoni, » elobi Yawe.
And all of you shall go out at the breaches, every cow at that which is before her; and all of you shall cast them into the palace, says the LORD.
4 « Bokende na Beteli mpe bosala masumu, bokende na Giligali mpe bosala lisusu masumu koleka. Bobonza bambeka na bino tongo nyonso, mpe eteni na bino ya zomi sima na mokolo ya misato.
Come to Bethel, and transgress; at Gilgal multiply transgression; and bring your sacrifices every morning, and your tithes after three years:
5 Botumba farine oyo batia levire lokola likabo ya kozongisa matondi, mpe bobeta tolo mpo na makabo na bino, oyo bokati kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bino moko. Bino bana ya Isalaele, bolobela yango na mongongo makasi, pamba te bolingaka nde kosala bongo, elobi Nkolo Yawe.
And offer a sacrifice of thanksgiving with leaven, and proclaim and publish the free offerings: for this likes you, O all of you children of Israel, says the Lord GOD.
6 Nabomaki bino nzala kati na bingumba na bino nyonso, napimelaki bino bilei kati na bamboka na bino nyonso; kasi atako bongo, bozongelaki Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
And I also have given you cleanness of teeth in all your cities, and lack of bread in all your places: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.
7 « Napimelaki bino lisusu mvula, basanza misato mobimba liboso ete tango oyo babukaka bambuma ekoma. Natindaki mvula na engumba moko mpe nakangaki yango na engumba mosusu. Elanga moko enokelaki mvula, kasi mosusu ezangelaki yango mpe ekawukaki.
And also I have withheld the rain from you, when there were yet three months to the harvest: and I caused it to rain upon one city, and caused it not to rain upon another city: one piece was rained upon, and the piece whereupon it rained not withered.
8 Bato bazalaki kotambola-tambola longwa na engumba moko kino na engumba mosusu mpo na koluka mayi, kasi bazwaki mayi oyo ekokelaki baposa na bango te; atako bongo, bozongelaki Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
So two or three cities wandered unto one city, to drink water; but they were not satisfied: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.
9 « Mbala mingi, nazalaki kobwakela bilanga na bino bokono, banzete na bino ya ble mpe ya vino ekomaki kokawuka; bongo mabanki ekomaki kolia banzete na bino ya figi mpe ya olive. Kasi atako bongo, bozongelaki Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
I have smitten you with blasting and mildew: when your gardens and your vineyards and your fig trees and your olive trees increased, the palmerworm devoured them: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.
10 « Natindaki, kati na bino, bokono oyo ebomaka, ndenge nasalaki kati na Ejipito; nabomaki bilenge mibali na bino na mopanga mpe nasalaki ete babotola bampunda na bino; mpe natondisaki bazolo na bino na solo ya bibembe oyo ekufaki na molako na bino. Kasi atako bongo, bozongelaki Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
I have sent among you the pestilence after the manner of Egypt: your young men have I slain with the sword, and have taken away your horses; and I have made the stink of your camps to come up unto your nostrils: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.
11 « Nabebisaki bino ndenge nabebisaki Sodome mpe Gomore; bozalaki lokola koni ya moto oyo babimisi na moto. Kasi atako bongo, bozongelaki Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
I have overthrown some of you, as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah, and all of you were as a firebrand plucked out of the burning: yet have all of you not returned unto me, says the LORD.
12 « Yango wana, Isalaele, tala makambo oyo nakosala yo! Mpe lokola nakosala yo bongo, Isalaele, mibongisa mpo na kokutana na Nzambe na yo. »
Therefore thus will I do unto you, O Israel: and because I will do this unto you, prepare to meet your God, O Israel.
13 Pamba te Ye oyo asalaki bangomba, oyo akelaki mipepe, oyo alakisaka makanisi na Ye epai na moto, oyo abongolaka pole molili, oyo atambolaka likolo ya bangomba ya mokili, Kombo na Ye ezali: Yawe, Nzambe Mokonzi ya mampinga.
For, lo, he that forms the mountains, and creates the wind, and declares unto man what is his thought, that makes the morning darkness, and treads upon the high places of the earth, The LORD, The God of hosts, is his name.
