< Jeremiah 26 >
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word from Jehovah came, saying,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
2 Thus says Jehovah: Stand in the court of Jehovah's house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, which come to worship in Jehovah's house, all the words that I command thee to speak to them, diminish not a word.
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Telema kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe loba na bato nyonso ya bingumba ya Yuda, oyo bayaka kogumbamela Yawe kati na Tempelo. Yebisa bango maloba nyonso oyo nasili kotinda yo; kolongola ata liloba moko te.
3 It may be they will hearken, and turn every man from his evil way, that I may relent of the evil which I purpose to do to them because of the evil of their doings.
Tango mosusu bakoyoka, mpe moko na moko kati na bango akotika nzela na ye ya mabe; bongo Ngai nakobongola mokano oyo nasilaki kozwa ya kotindela bango pasi likolo ya misala na bango ya mabe.
4 And thou shall say to them, Thus says Jehovah: If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my law, which I have set before you,
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Soki boyokeli Ngai te, soki boboyi kotosa malakisi oyo napesaki bino
5 to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you, even rising up early and sending them, but ye have not hearkened,
mpe boboyi kotosa maloba ya basali na Ngai, basakoli, oyo nazalaki kotindela bino tango na tango atako boboyaki koyokela bango,
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh, and will make this city a curse to all the nations of the earth.
nakosala na Ndako oyo, makambo oyo nasalaki na Silo; mpe bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekobanda kotangaka kombo ya engumba oyo mpo na kolakela mabe. › »
7 And the priests and the prophets and all the people heard Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah.
Banganga-Nzambe, basakoli mpe bato nyonso bazalaki koyoka Jeremi koloba maloba oyo kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
8 And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking all that Jehovah had commanded him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the prophets and all the people laid hold on him, saying, Thou shall surely die.
Kasi tango Jeremi asilisaki koloba na bato nyonso maloba oyo Yawe atindaki ye, Banganga-Nzambe, basakoli mpe bato nyonso bakangaki ye mpe balobaki: « Okokufa!
9 Why have thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, This house shall be like Shiloh, and this city shall be desolate, without inhabitant? And all the people were gathered to Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
Mpo na nini ozali kosakola na Kombo na Yawe ete Ndako oyo ekokoma lokola Silo; engumba oyo ekobebisama, ekotikala lisusu na bato te? » Ebele ya bato nyonso bazingelaki Jeremi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
10 And when the rulers of Judah heard these things, they came up from the king's house to the house of Jehovah, and they sat in the entry of the new gate of Jehovah's house.
Tango bakalaka ya Yuda bayokaki makambo oyo nyonso, balongwaki na ndako ya mokonzi, bakendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bavandaki liboso ya Ekuke ya Sika ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
11 Then the priests and the prophets spoke to the rulers and to all the people, saying, This man is worthy of death, for he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.
Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli balobaki na bakambi mpe na bato nyonso: « Moto oyo asengeli kokufa, pamba te asakoli mabe mpo na engumba oyo. Bino moko boyoki yango na matoyi na bino! »
12 Then Jeremiah spoke to all the rulers and to all the people, saying, Jehovah sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city all the words that ye have heard.
Jeremi alobaki na bakambi mpe na bato nyonso: « Yawe atindi ngai kosakola mpo na Ndako mpe engumba oyo, makambo nyonso oyo bosili koyoka.
13 Now therefore amend your ways and your doings, and obey the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah will relent of the evil that he has pronounced against you.
Bobongola sik’oyo bizaleli mpe misala na bino, mpe botosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino; mpe Yawe akobongola mokano oyo asilaki kozwa, mpe akotindela bino lisusu te pasi oyo alakaki bino.
14 But as for me, behold, I am in your hand. Do with me as is good and right in your eyes.
Bongo mpo na ngai, nazali na maboko na bino, bosala ngai makambo nyonso oyo bomoni ete ezali malamu mpe sembo.
15 Only know ye for certain that, if ye put me to death, ye will bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon the inhabitants of it. For of a truth Jehovah has sent me to you to speak all these words in your ears.
Kasi boyeba ete soki bobomi ngai, bokomema ngambo ya pamba na bomoi na bino mpe na engumba oyo elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso, likolo ya makila ya moto oyo ayebi likambo te; pamba te, solo penza, Yawe nde atindaki ngai epai na bino mpo na koyebisa bino maloba nyonso oyo, mpo ete boyoka yango. »
16 Then the rulers and all the people said to the priests and to the prophets. This man is not worthy of death, for he has spoken to us in the name of Jehovah our God.
Bakambi mpe bato nyonso balobaki epai ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli: « Esengeli te koboma moto oyo! Azali solo koloba na biso na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso. »
17 Then certain of the elders of the land rose up, and spoke to all the assembly of the people, saying,
Ndambo ya bakambi ya mokili batelemaki mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya bato:
18 Micah the Morashtite prophesied in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he spoke to all the people of Judah, saying, Thus says Jehovah of hosts: Zion shall be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps, and the mountain of the house as the high places of a forest.
« Mosakoli Mishe, moto ya Moresheti, asakolaki na tango ya Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda; alobaki na bato nyonso ya Yuda: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Bakobalola Siona ndenge babalolaka mabele ya bilanga, Yelusalemi ekokoma liboke ya mabanga, mpe ngomba epai wapi batongaki Tempelo ekokoma ngomba moke oyo ezipami na matiti. ›
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Jehovah, and entreat the favor of Jehovah. And Jehovah relented of the evil which he had pronounced against them? Thus might we commit great evil against our own souls.
Boni, Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, to moto mosusu kati na Yuda abomaki ye? Ezekiasi atosaki Yawe te mpe asalelaki mosakoli Mishe ngolu te? Yawe abongolaki mokano na Ye te ya kotindela bango pasi oyo alakaki? Tokomibendela biso moko pasi ya makasi na pamba. »
20 And there was also a man who prophesied in the name of Jehovah, Uriah the son of Shemaiah of Kiriath-jearim. And he prophesied against this city and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah.
Nzokande, Iri, mwana mobali ya Shemaya, moto ya Kiriati-Yearimi, azalaki mpe kosakola na Kombo na Yawe. Azalaki kaka kosakola makambo moko na Jeremi na tina na engumba mpe mokili oyo.
21 And when Jehoiakim the king, with all his mighty men, and all the rulers, heard his words, the king sought to put him to death, but when Uriah heard it, he was afraid, and fled, and went into Egypt.
Tango mokonzi Yeoyakimi elongo na bakalaka na ye nyonso mpe bakambi bayokaki maloba ya Iri, balukaki koboma ye. Kasi tango Iri ayokaki yango, abangaki makasi mpe akimaki na Ejipito.
22 And Jehoiakim the king sent men into Egypt, namely, Elnathan the son of Achbor, and certain men with him, into Egypt,
Mokonzi Yeoyakimi atindaki Elinatani, mwana mobali ya Akibori, na Ejipito elongo na bato mosusu.
23 and they fetched forth Uriah out of Egypt, and brought him to Jehoiakim the king, who killed him with the sword, and cast his dead body into the graves of the common people.
Babimisaki Iri na Ejipito mpe bamemaki ye epai ya mokonzi Yeoyakimi oyo abomaki ye na mopanga mpe apesaki mitindo ete babwaka ebembe na ye kati na kunda oyo bakundaka bato pamba.
24 But the hand of Ahikam the son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, that they should not give him into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Nzokande Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, abatelaki Jeremi; boye akabamaki te na maboko ya bato mpo ete baboma ye.
