MKW
Beno bantu ya Isayeli, beno kuwa mambu ya Yave. Yave ke na kubokila na lufundusu bantu yina ke zingaka na yinsi, yandi ke na kutuba: «Butsyelika kele ve, luzolo ya mpangi kele ve, luzabu ya Nzambi kele ve na yinsi.
BSB
BSB:
Hear the word of the LORD, O children of Israel, for the LORD has a case against the people of the land: “There is no truth, no loving devotion, and no knowledge of God in the land!
2
MKW
Bisika nyonso ba ke na kusinga, kuvuna, kufwa bantu, kulaba, kusadila kinsuza, mpe menga ke na kumwanganaka kaka.
BSB
BSB:
Cursing and lying, murder and stealing, and adultery are rampant; one act of bloodshed follows another.
3
MKW
Ni yawu yina, yinsi ke vwanda na kati ya kyadi, bayina nyonso ke zingaka kuna ke manisa na kufwa. Ya vwanda bibulu ya mfinda, bandeke ya mazulu, bambisi ya mubu mpe, ke zimbana.»
BSB
BSB:
Therefore the land mourns, and all who dwell in it will waste away with the beasts of the field and the birds of the air; even the fish of the sea disappear.
4
MKW
«Ata muntu kufunda nge, ata muntu kusemba nge, samu ti, bantu ya nge kele mutindu bayina ke fundaka banganga-Nzambi.
BSB
BSB:
But let no man contend; let no man offer reproof; for your people are like those who contend with a priest.
5
MKW
Nge ke bula dibaku na ntangu, mimbikudi ya nge mpe ke bula mabaku na mpimpa, Mu ke kufwa mama ya nge.
BSB
BSB:
You will stumble by day, and the prophet will stumble with you by night; so I will destroy your mother—
6
MKW
Bantu ya munu ke na kufwa, samu ti, bawu kele ve na luzabu. Mutindu nge me losa luzabu, mu ke losa nge, mpe nge ke sala dyaka ve kisalu ya bunganga-Nzambi samu na munu. Mutindu nge me zimbana Musiku ya Nzambi ya nge, munu mpe, mu ke zimbana bana ya nge.»
BSB
BSB:
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge. Because you have rejected knowledge, I will also reject you as My priests. Since you have forgotten the law of your God, I will also forget your children.
7
MKW
«Mutindu bawu kumaka mingi, ni mutindu yina mpe, masumu ya bawu kumaka mingi. Mu ke kitula nkembo ya bawu na nsoni.
BSB
BSB:
The more they multiplied, the more they sinned against Me; they exchanged their Glory for a thing of disgrace.
8
MKW
Bawu ke kuzwaka madya na minkayulu yina bantu ya munu ke pesaka, samu na mulemvo ya masumu. Ni yawu yina, bawu ke zolaka ti bantu ya munu kusala masumu.
BSB
BSB:
They feed on the sins of My people and set their hearts on iniquity.
9
MKW
Kitumbu yina bantu ke kuzwa, kaka ni yawu mpe banganga-Nzambi ke kuzwa. Mu ke pesa bawu musendo na ndyatulu ya bawu.
BSB
BSB:
And it shall be like people, like priest. I will punish both of them for their ways and repay them for their deeds.
10
MKW
Bawu ke kudya, kasi bawu ke yukuta ve. Bawu ke sala kindumba, kasi bawu ke buta ve, samu ti, bawu ke na kuzitisa dyaka ve Yave.»
BSB
BSB:
They will eat but not be satisfied; they will be promiscuous but not multiply. For they have abandoned the LORD to give themselves
11
MKW
«Kindumba, vinu ya ngolo na vinu ya malu-malu ke na kupesaka bawu buzoba.
BSB
BSB:
to promiscuity, wine, and new wine, which take away understanding.
12
MKW
Bantu ya munu ke talisaka mambu ya bawu na kiteki ya yinti, mpe, ni kibuku ya mukawa ke zabisaka bawu mambu. Ya tsyelika mpeve ya kindumba ke na kuzimbisa bawu. Na kindumba yina bawu ke na kusala, bawu ke na kukabuka na Nzambi ya bawu.
BSB
BSB:
My people consult their wooden idols, and their divining rods inform them. For a spirit of prostitution leads them astray and they have played the harlot against their God.
13
MKW
Bawu ke na kifu ya kupesaka minkayulu na zulu ya myongo. Bawu ke yokaka maaka ya nsunga ya mbote na myongo ya fyoti na yisi ya bayinti yina kele na mpewo ya mbote. Ni yawu yina, bana ya beno ya bakento ke na kusala kindumba, mpe bakento ya bana ya beno ke na kusala kinsuza.
BSB
BSB:
They sacrifice on the mountaintops and burn offerings on the hills, under oak, poplar, and terebinth, because their shade is pleasant. And so your daughters turn to prostitution and your daughters-in-law to adultery.
14
MKW
Mu ke pesa ve kitumbu na bana ya beno ya bakento, yina ke na kusala kindumba, mpe bakento ya bana ya beno, yina ke na kusala kinsuza, samu ti, bawu mosi banganga-Nzambi ke basikaka na bakento yina ke salaka kindumba. Bawu ke pesaka minkayulu kintwadi na bakento yina ke salaka kindumba na nkumbu ya nzambi, mutindu ke tubaka kingana yayi: “Bantu yina kele ve na mayela ya kuswasikisa mambu, kele bantu ya kufwa.”»
BSB
BSB:
I will not punish your daughters when they prostitute themselves, nor your daughters-in-law when they commit adultery. For the men themselves go off with prostitutes and offer sacrifices with shrine prostitutes. So a people without understanding will come to ruin.
15
MKW
«Nge Isayeli, kana nge sala kindumba, bantu ya Yuda kusala yawu ve. Beno kwenda ve na Ngilengale, beno kwenda ve na Bete-Awene. Beno kudya ve ndefi na kutuba ti: “Yave kele moyo!”»
BSB
BSB:
Though you prostitute yourself, O Israel, may Judah avoid such guilt! Do not journey to Gilgal, do not go up to Beth-aven, and do not swear on oath, ‘As surely as the LORD lives!’
16
MKW
Ya tsyelika, Isayeli me kuma na yintu ngolo mutindu mwana ya ngombe ya kento yina kele na nkele. Wapi mutindu beno zola ti, Yave kudikila bawu mutindu bana ya mameme yina ba ke na kunata na kisika yina bawu ke kudyaka?
BSB
BSB:
For Israel is as obstinate as a stubborn heifer. Can the LORD now shepherd them like lambs in an open meadow?
17
MKW
Bantu ya Efalayime me kangama na biteki. Beno bika bawu.
BSB
BSB:
Ephraim is joined to idols; leave him alone!
18
MKW
Ntangu bawu ke manisaka na kunwa, bawu ke lutaka na kindumba. Bamfumu ya bawu ke zolaka mambu ya nsoni.
BSB
BSB:
When their liquor is gone, they turn to prostitution; their rulers dearly love disgrace.
19
MKW
Kitembo ya ngolo ke nata bawu, mpe bawu ke tala nsoni, samu na minkayulu ya bawu.
BSB
BSB:
The whirlwind has wrapped them in its wings, and their sacrifices will bring them shame.
