Jeremiah 10
1 Hear the word that the LORD speaks to you, O house of Israel.
Eh libota ya Isalaele, yoka liloba oyo Yawe azali koloba na yo!
2 This is what the LORD says: “Do not learn the ways of the nations or be terrified by the signs in the heavens, though the nations themselves are terrified by them.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Kolanda bizaleli ya bikolo ya bapaya te mpe kobanga bilembo ya likolo te ata soki ezali kobangisa bato ya bikolo.
3 For the customs of the peoples are worthless; they cut down a tree from the forest; it is shaped with a chisel by the hands of a craftsman.
Pamba te bizaleli ya bikolo ya bapaya ezali se pamba, banzambe na bango ezali se banzete ya pamba oyo bakataka kati na zamba, bongo moto ya misala ya maboko nde abongisaka yango na bambeli na ye.
4 They adorn it with silver and gold and fasten it with hammer and nails, so that it will not totter.
Bapakolaka yango palata mpe wolo, babetaka yango basete na marto mpo ete eningana te.
5 Like scarecrows in a cucumber patch, their idols cannot speak. They must be carried because they cannot walk. Do not fear them, for they can do no harm, and neither can they do any good.”
Banzambe yango ya bikeko ezali lokola bikeko oyo batiaka na elanga ya bapasiteki mpo na kokimisa bandeke: elobaka te, bamemaka yango mpo ete etambolaka te. Kobanga yango te, pamba te ekokaka kosala bato mabe to malamu te. »
6 There is none like You, O LORD. You are great, and Your name is mighty in power.
Eh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo! Ozali monene, mpe Kombo na Yo ezali na nguya monene.
7 Who would not fear You, O King of nations? This is Your due. For among all the wise men of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, there is none like You.
Oh Mokonzi ya bikolo, nani akoki koboya kotosa Yo? Obongi na lokumu, pamba te moko te azali lokola Yo kati na bato nyonso ya bwanya ya bikolo mpe kati na mikili na bango nyonso.
8 But they are altogether senseless and foolish, instructed by worthless idols made of wood!
Bango nyonso bazangi mayele mpe bazali bazoba; mateya na bango ezalaka ya pamba, mpe banzambe na bango ezalaka se banzete ya pamba!
9 Hammered silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz— the work of a craftsman from the hands of a goldsmith. Their clothes are blue and purple, all fashioned by skilled workers.
Bapakola yango palata balekisa na moto, oyo ewuta na Tarsisi, mpe wolo oyo ewuta na Ufazi; bato oyo basalaka bililingi na banzete mpe ba-oyo balambaka bibende na moto nde basalaka yango: balatisaka yango bilamba ya langi ya ble mpe ya motane; ezali misala ya bato oyo basalaka misala ya maboko, oyo bayebi penza mosala malamu.
10 But the LORD is the true God; He is the living God and eternal King. The earth quakes at His wrath, and the nations cannot endure His indignation.
Kasi Yawe azali Nzambe ya solo, Nzambe na bomoi mpe Mokonzi ya seko. Soki asiliki, mokili eninganaka, bikolo ekokoka te kotelema liboso ya kanda na Ye.
11 Thus you are to tell them: “These gods, who have made neither the heavens nor the earth, will perish from this earth and from under these heavens.”
Tala maloba oyo bokoloba na bango: « Banzambe oyo esala te likolo mpe mabele ekolimwa na mabele mpe na se ya likolo. »
12 The LORD made the earth by His power; He established the world by His wisdom and stretched out the heavens by His understanding.
Kasi Yawe asala mabele na nguya na Ye, alendisa mokili na bwanya na Ye mpe atanda likolo na mayele na Ye.
13 When He thunders, the waters in the heavens roar; He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth. He generates the lightning with the rain and brings forth the wind from His storehouses.
Tango agangaka, mayi etiaka makelele makasi kuna na likolo, asangisaka mapata wuta na basuka ya mokili, apelisaka mikalikali, anokisaka mvula mpe abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na Ye.
14 Every man is senseless and devoid of knowledge; every goldsmith is put to shame by his idols. For his molten images are a fraud, and there is no breath in them.
Bato nyonso bakomaka lokola bazoba, lokola bato oyo basili mayele; monyangwisi bibende na moto atikalaka na soni likolo na bikeko na ye, pamba te bikeko na ye ezalaka na yango biloko ya lokuta, ezalaka na pema te kati na yango.
15 They are worthless, a work to be mocked. In the time of their punishment they will perish.
Ezali biloko ya pamba, biloko ya kotiola; ekolimwa na tango ya kosambisama.
16 The Portion of Jacob is not like these, for He is the Maker of all things, and Israel is the tribe of His inheritance— the LORD of Hosts is His name.
Kasi Ye oyo azali libula ya Jakobi akokani na bikeko wana te, pamba te azali Mokeli ya biloko nyonso, ezala ata Isalaele, ekolo oyo ezali libula na Ye; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
17 Gather up your belongings from this land, you who live under siege.
Yo ekolo oyo bazingeli, kamata bisaka na yo mpe bima na mokili!
18 For this is what the LORD says: “Behold, at this time I will sling out the inhabitants of the land and bring distress upon them so that they may be captured.”
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ya mbala oyo, nakobengana bavandi ya mokili oyo mpe nakotindela bango pasi mpo ete bakanga bango. »
19 Woe to me because of my brokenness; my wound is grievous! But I said, “This is truly my sickness, and I must bear it.”
Mawa na ngai, pamba te nazoki makasi na motema! Pota na ngai ezali kosila te! Namilobelaki: « Ezali pasi na ngai moko, esengeli na ngai kokanga motema. »
20 My tent is destroyed, and all its ropes are snapped. My sons have departed from me and are no more. I have no one left to pitch my tent or set up my curtains.
Ndako na ngai ya kapo ebebisami, basinga na yango nyonso ekatani, bamemi bana na ngai ya mibali, natikali lisusu ata na mwana moko te. Nazali lisusu na moto ata moko te oyo akotelemisela ngai ndako ya kapo to akobongisela ngai esika ya kovanda.
21 For the shepherds have become senseless; they do not seek the LORD. Therefore they have not prospered, and all their flock is scattered.
Pamba te bakambi bazangaki mayele, balukaki Yawe te; yango wana, balongaki te, mpe bato nyonso oyo bango bazalaki kokamba bapanzanaki.
22 Listen! The sound of a report is coming— a great commotion from the land to the north. The cities of Judah will be made a desolation, a haunt for jackals.
Boyoka! Makelele moko ezali koya, lokito moko ya makasi ewuti na mokili ya nor, ekosilisa bato kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe ekokomisa yango bandako ya mbwa ya zamba.
23 I know, O LORD, that a man’s way is not his own; no one who walks directs his own steps.
Oh Yawe, nayebi ete moto moko te azali mokonzi ya bomoi na ye; moto oyo azali kotambola azali na bokonzi te ya kokamba matambe na ye.
24 Correct me, O LORD, but only with justice— not in Your anger, or You will bring me to nothing.
Oh Yawe, pesa biso etumbu oyo ekoki na biso; kasi kopesa yango na kanda te, noki te okosilisa koboma biso.
25 Pour out Your wrath on the nations that do not acknowledge You, and on the families that do not call on Your name. For they have devoured Jacob; they have consumed him and finished him off; they have devastated his homeland.
Sopa kanda na Yo likolo ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo endimaka Yo te, likolo ya bato oyo babelelaka Kombo na Yo te, pamba te babebisi Jakobi, babebisi ye mobimba mpe bapanzi mokili na ye.
