1. 1TAPMwe Baizraeli, twilizie totu twebo twa lwimbo lwa malilo lundimukumimbila.BSBBSB: Hear this word, O house of Israel, this lamentation I take up against you:
2. 2TAP“Kinundue Izraeli aponene, takikabuuka, waasiilue waleele pansi, tekuli wa kumukwasia kubuuka.”BSBBSB: “Fallen is Virgin Israel, never to rise again. She lies abandoned on her land, with no one to raise her up.”
3. 3TAPYawe Kabezia Mpungu wa-ana Baizraeli nangue, “Muzi waakatuma balukale 1,000 ku bului, kwaakabwela sie balukale 100. Muzi waakatuma balukale 100 ku bului, kwaakabwela sie balukale lyanondo.”BSBBSB: This is what the Lord GOD says: “The city that marches out a thousand strong will have but a hundred left, and the one that marches out a hundred strong will have but ten left in the house of Israel.”
4. 4TAPYawe wabaana Baizraeli nangue, “Nkebe mube ni bukose.BSBBSB: For this is what the LORD says to the house of Israel: “Seek Me and live!
5. 5TAPTekunkebe ku Beteli, tekuye ku Gilgali, tekwabuke kuya ku Bersheba. Pantu Gilgali, kisinka waakaya mu buzia. Ni Beteli waaka-alulua kuba mpuni.”BSBBSB: Do not seek Bethel or go to Gilgal; do not journey to Beersheba, for Gilgal will surely go into exile, and Bethel will come to nothing.
6. 6TAPMukebe Yawe mube ni bukose, kine te evio, Yawe waakapyanga bantu ba mu nghanda yakua Yusufu nga mulilo. Ozo mulilo waakazizia Beteli, tekuli muntu waakauzimia.BSBBSB: Seek the LORD and live, or He will sweep like fire through the house of Joseph; it will devour everything, with no one at Bethel to extinguish it.
7. 7TAPLisyamo lyenu mwe baliba-alulula nsambu kuba bwimba bululile, ni kupooza nsambu pansi.BSBBSB: There are those who turn justice into wormwood and cast righteousness to the ground.
8. 8TAPOlia waakitile Bulimina ni Kipindabusiku pamo ni Orioni, olia aliwa-alulula nfinzi kuba lukeelekeele, ni musita wa koba kuba busiku, olia aliwakuuta menda a lyezi ni ku-etila pa kyalo, Liina lyakue i Yawe.BSBBSB: He who made the Pleiades and Orion, who turns darkness into dawn and darkens day into night, who summons the waters of the sea and pours them over the face of the earth—the LORD is His name—
9. 9TAPAliwainoona nghanda lubilo lubilo, ni kutuuta byubo bya mizi.BSBBSB: He flashes destruction on the strong, so that fury comes upon the stronghold.
10. 10TAPBasuulile olia aliwasasililana mu kilie, baleebwile olia aliwalanda kisinka.BSBBSB: There are those who hate the one who reproves in the gate and despise him who speaks with integrity.
11. 11TAPMulimwaabiibikizia bapabi, ni kubeebila buzombozi mu kusonkia musonko. Ni pakako, anzia kine mwaakuulile nghanda ya mabue, temukeekalamo. Anzia kine mwaalimine bukaba bwa mizabibu, temukamina divai ya mizabibu.BSBBSB: Therefore, because you trample on the poor and exact from him a tax of grain, you will never live in the stone houses you have built; you will never drink the wine from the lush vineyards you have planted.
12. 12TAPPantu n'manine vivulile bilubo byenu ni vitanine bibalo byenu. Mulimwaemia bantu basili na kilubo ni kupoka bituulilo, kabili mulimwatana bapabi nsambu mu kilie.BSBBSB: For I know that your transgressions are many and your sins are numerous. You oppress the righteous by taking bribes; you deprive the poor of justice in the gate.
13. 13TAPNi pakako, olia akengeele aliwatalala pa musita nga ozo, pantu musita ubiipile.BSBBSB: Therefore, the prudent keep silent in such times, for the days are evil.
14. 14TAPKite biweme, tekuba bibiipile, evi mube ni bukose. Ni Yawe Leza wa Maka onse waakaba pamo nenu nga vimulimwalanda nangue pa-ali.BSBBSB: Seek good, not evil, so that you may live. And the LORD, the God of Hosts, will be with you, as you have claimed.
15. 15TAPSuule bibiipile, tone biweme, biike nsambu mu bilie. Pange Yawe Leza wa Maka onse waakeeleela bantu basyele bakosele ba mu luvyalo lwakua Yusufu.BSBBSB: Hate evil and love good; establish justice in the gate. Perhaps the LORD, the God of Hosts, will be gracious to the remnant of Joseph.”
16. 16TAPNi pakako, Mulopue Yawe Leza wa Maka onse walanda evi, “Kwaakaba malilo mu misebo yonse, kuloosia kwa bulanda mu kubalua kisaakaanino kya bantu. Balimi baakakuutua kwiza kulila, ni ba kuloosia bakeeza kuloosia.BSBBSB: Therefore this is what the LORD, the God of Hosts, the Lord, says: “There will be wailing in all the public squares and cries of ‘Alas! Alas!’ in all the streets. The farmer will be summoned to mourn, and the mourners to wail.
17. 17TAPMu makaba onse a mizabibu mwaakaba malilo. Pantu naakeeza kupita pakati kenu,” koku i kulanda kwakua Yawe.BSBBSB: There will be wailing in all the vineyards, for I will pass through your midst,” says the LORD.
18. 18TAPLisyamo kuli mwe balibatokamua busiku bwakua Yawe. Mulimwatokaminuaki busiku bwakua Yawe? Bobo busiku bwaakaba nfinzi, tekuba kisue.BSBBSB: Woe to you who long for the Day of the LORD! What will the Day of the LORD be for you? It will be darkness and not light.
19. 19TAPKyaakaba nga muntu wabutuka nkalamu, wasaakaana na kimbui, wapanda ku kimbui, waingila mu nghanda yakue, ni kukikilizia kuboko kwakue ku kibumba, wasumua na nzoka.BSBBSB: It will be like a man who flees from a lion, only to encounter a bear, or who enters his house and rests his hand against the wall, only to be bitten by a snake.
20. 20TAPKubako busiku bwakua Yawe tebukaba nfinzi, pasili kuba kisue? Kubako teikaba nfinzi ikata isili na minghenghe?BSBBSB: Will not the Day of the LORD be darkness and not light, even gloom with no brightness in it?
21. 21TAPYawe walanda nangue, “Nsuulile, ndeebwile nsikunkulu yenu ya mpupo, nsiwamiinue na kulonghana kwenu.BSBBSB: “I hate, I despise your feasts! I cannot stand the stench of your solemn assemblies.
22. 22TAPAnzia kili evio, mulimwandeetela ngelelo ya kuzizia ni bupe bwa bunga nsikabipokelela. Anzia kine mulimwaleeta bupe bwa mutende, nsikabukentako.BSBBSB: Even though you offer Me burnt offerings and grain offerings, I will not accept them; for your peace offerings of fattened cattle I will have no regard.
23. 23TAPLekele nsungu ya nghimbo yenu, nsikatwilizia nghimbo ya bilimba byenu.BSBBSB: Take away from Me the noise of your songs! I will not listen to the music of your harps.
24. 24TAPInzi lekele nsambu ipongoke nga mwenzi, bulunghami bube nga kaezi kasili kakama.BSBBSB: But let justice roll on like a river, and righteousness like an ever-flowing stream.
25. 25TAP“Kubako mwe Baizraeli, mwandeeteele ngelelo ni bupe mu kaseeba mu elia myaka 40?BSBBSB: Did you bring Me sacrifices and offerings forty years in the wilderness, O house of Israel?
26. 26TAPMwakilendula kitale kyakua likolo wenu, Sukoti kateeka leza wenu, ni Kiuni leza wenu wa lutanda, bamwaikitiile mwe bene.BSBBSB: You have taken along Sakkuth your king and Kaiwan your star god, the idols you made for yourselves.
27. 27TAPNi pakako, naakamitwala mu kyalo kya buzia, kule kupita ku Damaski,” koku i kulanda kwakua Yawe, ali ni Liina lya Leza wa Maka onse.BSBBSB: Therefore I will send you into exile beyond Damascus,” says the LORD, whose name is the God of Hosts.
