Jeremiah 15
1 Then the LORD said to me: “Even if Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My heart would not go out to this people. Send them from My presence, and let them go.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Ata soki Moyize mpe Samuele batelemi liboso na Ngai mpo na koloba na tina na bato oyo, nakotikala koyokela bato oyo mawa te. Bengana bato oyo liboso na ngai! Tika ete bakende mosika na Ngai!
2 If they ask you, ‘Where shall we go?’ you are to tell them that this is what the LORD says: ‘Those destined for death, to death; those destined for the sword, to the sword; those destined for famine, to famine; and those destined for captivity, to captivity.’
Bongo soki batuni yo: ‹ Tokende wapi? › Zongisela bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokufa bakufa! Tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokufa na mopanga bakufa na mopanga! Tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokufa na nzala makasi bakufa na nzala makasi! Mpe tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokende na bowumbu bakende na bowumbu! ›
3 I will appoint over them four kinds of destroyers, declares the LORD: the sword to kill, the dogs to drag away, and the birds of the air and beasts of the earth to devour and destroy.
Nakotindela bango babomi ya lolenge minei, » elobi Yawe: « mopanga, mpo na koboma bango; mbwa mpo na koswa mpe kobenda bango; banyama ya zamba mpe bandeke oyo eliaka misuni mpo na kolia mpe kopanza bango.
4 I will make them a horror to all the kingdoms of the earth because of what Manasseh son of Hezekiah king of Judah did in Jerusalem.
Nakokomisa bango eloko ya koyoka somo, na miso ya bato ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili mpo na makambo nyonso oyo Manase, mwana mobali ya Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, asalaki kati na Yelusalemi.
5 Who will have pity on you, O Jerusalem? Who will mourn for you? Who will turn aside to ask about your welfare?
Oh Yelusalemi, nani akoyokela yo mawa? Nani akolela yo? Nani akotelema mpo na kotuna basango na yo?
6 You have forsaken Me, declares the LORD. You have turned your back. So I will stretch out My hand against you and I will destroy you; I am weary of showing compassion.
Osundolaki Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « opesaki Ngai mokongo. Yango wana, loboko na Ngai ekobeta yo, mpe nakobebisa yo; nakoyokela yo lisusu mawa te.
7 I will scatter them with a winnowing fork at the gates of the land. I will bereave and destroy My people who have not turned from their ways.
Nakoyungola bango na nzela ya bipepelo na bikuke ya engumba, nakobotola bango bana na bango mpe nakoboma bato na Ngai, pamba te babongoli bizaleli na bango te.
8 I will make their widows more numerous than the sand of the sea. I will bring a destroyer at noon against the mothers of young men. I will suddenly bring upon them anguish and dismay.
Basi na bango oyo bakufisa mibali, nakokomisa bango ebele koleka zelo ya ebale monene. Na ngonga ya midi, nakoyeisa mobebisi mpo na koboma bamama ya bana na bango; nakokweyisela bango somo mpe pasi na mbalakata.
9 The mother of seven will grow faint; she will breathe her last breath. Her sun will set while it is still day; she will be disgraced and humiliated. And the rest I will put to the sword in the presence of their enemies,”
Mama ya bana sambo akolemba nzoto mpe akopema na pasi makasi. Moyi na ye ekolala wana mokolo ezali nanu kowumela: akoyokisama soni mpe akosambwa. Nakoboma na mopanga, bato oyo bakotikala na bomoi liboso ya banguna na bango, » elobi Yawe.
10 Woe to me, my mother, that you have borne me, a man of strife and conflict in all the land. I have neither lent nor borrowed, yet everyone curses me.
Oh mama na ngai, mawa na ngai! Mpo na nini obotaki ngai! Nazali moto oyo mokili mobimba eswanisaka mpe etelemelaka. Nadefisa moto moko te eloko mpe nadefa eloko ya moto moko te, kasi bato nyonso balakelaka ngai kaka mabe.
11 The LORD said: “Surely I will deliver you for a good purpose; surely I will intercede with your enemy in your time of trouble, in your time of distress.
Yawe alobaki: « Solo, nakokangola yo mpo na bolamu na yo; solo, nakosala ete banguna na yo babondela yo na tango ya pasi mpe ya minyoko.
12 Can anyone smash iron— iron from the north—or bronze?
Boni, moto akoki penza kobuka ebende? Ebende oyo ewuta penza na nor to ebende ya bronze?
13 Your wealth and your treasures I will give up as plunder, without charge for all your sins within all your borders.
Nakosala ete babotola bino biloko mpe bomengo na bino; bongo bakofuta bino yango te mpo na masumu na bino nyonso oyo bosalaki kati na mokili na bino mobimba.
14 Then I will enslave you to your enemies in a land you do not know, for My anger will kindle a fire that will burn against you.”
Nakokomisa bino bawumbu ya banguna na bino kati na mokili oyo botikala ata koyeba te, pamba te kanda na Ngai ekopela lokola moto oyo ekotumba bino. »
15 You understand, O LORD; remember me and attend to me. Avenge me against my persecutors. In Your patience, do not take me away. Know that I endure reproach for Your honor.
Oh Yawe, oyebi makambo nyonso, kanisa ngai mpe batela ngai. Zongisa mabe na mabe ya banyokoli na ngai. Yo oyo osilikaka noki te, kosundola ngai te! Tala ndenge nazali kondima koyoka soni kino sik’oyo mpo na Kombo na Yo!
16 Your words were found, and I ate them. Your words became my joy and my heart’s delight. For I bear Your name, O LORD God of Hosts.
Tango kaka nayokaki maloba na Yo, nayambaki yango na esengo; maloba yango esepelisaki ngai mpe etondisaki motema na ngai na esengo; pamba te babengaka ngai na Kombo na Yo, Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
17 I never sat with the band of revelers, nor did I celebrate with them. Because Your hand was on me, I sat alone, for You have filled me with indignation.
Natikala kovanda te kati na batioli to mpe kosepela elongo na bango. Natikalaki kaka ngai moko, pamba te loboko na yo ezalaki likolo na ngai mpe otondisaki ngai na kanda.
18 Why is my pain unending, and my wound incurable, refusing to be healed? You have indeed become like a mirage to me— water that is not there.
Mpo na nini pasi na ngai esilaka te mpe pota na ngai ya monene esilaka te? Solo, namoni ete ozali mpo na ngai lokola etima ya lokuta, lokola mayi oyo bakoki kotiela motema te.
19 Therefore this is what the LORD says: “If you return, I will restore you; you will stand in My presence. And if you speak words that are noble instead of worthless, you will be My spokesman. It is they who must turn to you, but you must not turn to them.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Soki ozongi epai na Ngai, nakondima yo liboso na Ngai mpo ete osalela Ngai; soki monoko na yo ezali kobimisa maloba ya tina, kasi maloba ya pamba-pamba te, okozala molobeli na Ngai. Tika ete bato oyo balanda yo; kasi yo, kolanda bango te.
20 Then I will make you a wall to this people, a fortified wall of bronze; they will fight against you but will not overcome you, for I am with you to save and deliver you, declares the LORD.
Nakokomisa yo lokola mir liboso ya bato oyo, mir moko ya makasi penza, mir ya bronze; bakobundisa yo kasi bakolonga yo te, pamba te nazali elongo na yo mpo na kobikisa mpe kokangola yo, » elobi Yawe.
21 I will deliver you from the hand of the wicked and redeem you from the grasp of the ruthless.”
« Nakobikisa yo na maboko ya bato mabe mpe nakokangola yo na maboko ya bato oyo banyokolaka yo. »
