Micah 7

1 Woe is me! for I am as the last of the summer fruits, as the grape gleanings of the vintage; there is no cluster to eat; nor first-ripe fig which my soul desireth.

Tala, mawa na ngai! Nakomi lokola moto oyo azali koluka kobuka bambuma na eleko ya elanga, na tango oyo bazongelaka kobuka bambuma ya vino oyo etikalaka. Kasi ezali ata na liboke moko te ya bambuma ya vino ya kolia to mbuma ata moko te ya figi ya sika oyo nasepelaka kolia.

2 The godly man is perished out of the earth, and the upright among men is no more; they all lie in wait for blood; they hunt every man his brother with a net.

Bayengebene batikali lisusu te na mokili, moto ya sembo azali lisusu te; bato nyonso bakomi kaka koluka nzela ya kosopa makila, mpe moto na moto azali kotiela ndeko na ye motambo.

3 Their hands are upon that which is evil to do it diligently; the prince asketh, and the judge is ready for a reward; and the great man, he uttereth the evil desire of his soul; thus they weave it together.

Maboko na bango eyebi penza kosala makambo mabe, bakambi mpe basambisi na bango bakomi koluka kanyaka; bongo bato ya makasi bazali kosala makambo nyonso oyo balingi, bayokanaka mpo na kosala bato mabe.

4 The best of them is as a brier; the most upright is worse than a thorn hedge; the day of thy watchmen, even thy visitation, is come; now shall be their perplexity.

Moto oyo aleki malamu kati na bango azali lokola nzube, moto oyo aleki sembo azali mabe koleka liboke ya basende. Mokolo oyo bakengeli na yo basakolaki ekokisami, mokolo oyo Yawe ayei kopesa yo etumbu. Sik’oyo, ekomi tango na bango ya koyoka soni.

5 Trust ye not in a friend, put ye not confidence in a familiar friend; keep the doors of thy mouth from her that lieth in thy bosom.

Botia motema te epai ya bazalani na bino, botia elikya te epai ya baninga na bino ya motema. Ezala liboso ya mwasi oyo alalaka na tolo na yo, keba na maloba oyo ezali kobima na monoko na yo.

6 For the son dishonoureth the father, the daughter riseth up against her mother, the daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law; a man's enemies are the men of his own house.

Pamba te mwana mobali azali koyokisa tata na ye soni, elenge mwasi azali kotelemela mama na ye, mwasi ya libala azali kotelemela mama-bokilo na ye; bongo monguna ya moto, ezali kaka moto ya libota na ye.

7 'But as for me, I will look unto the LORD; I will wait for the God of my salvation; my God will hear me.

Kasi mpo na ngai, nakotia elikya na ngai epai na Yawe, nakotalela Nzambe, Mobikisi na ngai; Nzambe na ngai akoyoka ngai.

8 Rejoice not against me, O mine enemy; though I am fallen, I shall arise; though I sit in darkness, the LORD is a light unto me.

Oh banguna na ngai, boseka ngai te! Ata soki nakweyi, nakotelema kaka. Ata soki navandi kati na molili, Yawe azali pole na ngai.

9 I will bear the indignation of the LORD, because I have sinned against Him; until He plead my cause, and execute judgment for me; He will bring me forth to the light, and I shall behold His righteousness.

Lokola nasalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, nakomema mokumba ya kanda na Ye kino tango akozwa likambo na ngai na maboko mpe akolongisa ngai. Akobimisa ngai na pole, mpe nakomona bosembo na Ye.

10 Then mine enemy shall see it, and shame shall cover her; who said unto me: Where is the LORD thy God? Mine eyes shall gaze upon her; now shall she be trodden down as the mire of the streets.'

Bongo monguna na ngai akomona yango mpe akoyoka soni makasi, ye oyo azalaki koloba na ngai: « Wapi Yawe, Nzambe na yo? » Miso na ngai ekomona ndenge akokweya mpe ndenge bakonyata ye lokola potopoto ya nzela.

11 'The day for building thy walls, even that day, shall be far removed.'

Mokolo ya kotonga lisusu bamir na yo ekoya; ezali mokolo wana nde bandelo ya mokili na yo ekopusama lisusu mosika.

12 There shall be a day when they shall come unto thee, from Assyria even to the cities of Egypt, and from Egypt even to the River, and from sea to sea, and from mountain to mountain.

Na mokolo wana, bato ebele bakoya epai na yo longwa na mokili ya Asiri mpe na bingumba ya Ejipito, ata longwa na mokili ya Ejipito kino na ebale Efrate, longwa na ebale monene moko kino na mosusu, longwa na ngomba moko kino na mosusu.

13 And the land shall be desolate for them that dwell therein, because of the fruit of their doings.

Mokili ekobebisama likolo ya bato wana, likolo ya bizaleli na bango ya mabe.

14 Tend Thy people with Thy staff, the flock of Thy heritage, that dwell solitarily, as a forest in the midst of the fruitful field; let them feed in Bashan and Gilead, as in the days of old.

Kamba bato na Yo na lingenda na Yo ndenge mobateli bibwele asalaka! Pamba te bazali bameme ya libula na Yo, oyo ezali lokola kotelengana yango moko kati na zamba, na etando moko ya kitoko. Tika ete elia na bilanga ya Bashani mpe ya Galadi ndenge ezalaki kolia na tango ya kala.

15 'As in the days of thy coming forth out of the land of Egypt will I show unto him marvellous things.'

Nakomonisa yo makambo ya kokamwa lokola na tango obimaki na Ejipito.

16 The nations shall see and be put to shame for all their might; they shall lay their hand upon their mouth, their ears shall be deaf.

Bato ya bikolo ya bapaya bakomona yango mpe bakoyoka soni; ata soki bazali na nguya ya ndenge nini, bakozanga maloba, mpe matoyi na bango ekokangama.

17 They shall lick the dust like a serpent; like crawling things of the earth they shall come trembling out of their close places; they shall come with fear unto the LORD our God, and shall be afraid because of Thee.

Bakolia mabele lokola nyoka, mpe lokola banyama oyo etambolaka na libumu; bakobima na somo wuta na madusu epai wapi bazalaki kobombama, bakoya epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, na kolenga.

18 Who is a God like unto Thee, that pardoneth the iniquity, and passeth by the transgression of the remnant of His heritage? He retaineth not His anger for ever, because He delighteth in mercy.

Nzambe nini akokani na Yo, Yo oyo olimbisaka masumu ya bato mpe obosanaka mabe ya batikali kati na libula na Yo? Okangelaka bato kanda mpo na libela te, kasi osepelaka kotalisa bango ngolu.

19 He will again have compassion upon us; He will subdue our iniquities; and Thou wilt cast all their sins into the depths of the sea.

Solo, okoyokela biso lisusu mawa, matambe na Yo ekonyata masumu na biso, mpe okobwaka mabunga na biso nyonso kati na bozindo ya ebale monene.

20 Thou wilt show faithfulness to Jacob, mercy to Abraham, as Thou hast sworn unto our fathers from the days of old.

Okomonisa Jakobi bosembo na Yo, mpe Abrayami, bolamu na Yo, ndenge olapaki ndayi epai ya batata na biso na tango ya kala.
