Jeremiah 17
1 “The sin of Judah is written with an iron stylus, engraved with a diamond point on the tablets of their hearts and on the horns of their altars.
« Masumu ya Yuda ezali lokola makomi oyo bakoma na ekomeli ya ebende oyo ezali na songe ya diama; bakoma yango na bitando ya mitema na bango mpe na maseke ya bitumbelo na bango.
2 Even their children remember their altars and Asherah poles by the green trees and on the high hills.
Ndenge bakanisaka bana na bango ya mibali, ndenge wana mpe bakanisaka bitumbelo na bango mpe makonzi ya Ashera, nzambe mwasi, pembeni ya banzete ya mibesu na likolo ya bangomba.
3 O My mountain in the countryside, I will give over your wealth and all your treasures as plunder, because of the sin of your high places, within all your borders.
Oh ngomba na Ngai kati na mokili, nakokaba lokola bomengo ya bitumba: biloko na yo, bozwi na yo nyonso mpe bisambelo na yo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na masumu oyo osalaki kati na mokili na yo.
4 And you yourself will relinquish the inheritance that I gave you. I will enslave you to your enemies in a land that you do not know, for you have kindled My anger; it will burn forever.”
Likolo ya mabe na yo, okobungisa libula oyo napesaki yo, nakokomisa yo mowumbu ya banguna na yo kati na mokili oyo oyebi te; pamba te opelisi kanda na Ngai, mpe ekopela mpo na libela. »
5 This is what the LORD says: “Cursed is the man who trusts in mankind, who makes the flesh his strength and turns his heart from the LORD.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tika ete moto oyo atiaka elikya na moto, oyo ayekamelaka eloko ya pete mpe atalelaka Yawe te, alakelama mabe!
6 He will be like a shrub in the desert; he will not see when prosperity comes. He will dwell in the parched places of the desert, in a salt land where no one lives.
Akozala lokola mwa nzete ekawuka kati na esobe; akomona bolamu te tango ekoya, akovanda na bisika ya kokawuka ya esobe, na mokili ya mungwa epai wapi bato bazalaka te.
7 But blessed is the man who trusts in the LORD, whose confidence is in Him.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo atiaka elikya na Yawe mpe atalelaka Ye apambolama!
8 He is like a tree planted by the waters that sends out its roots toward the stream. It does not fear when the heat comes, and its leaves are always green. It does not worry in a year of drought, nor does it cease to produce fruit.
Akozala lokola nzete oyo balona pembeni ya mayi, oyo epanzaka misisa na yango kino na mayi: ezalaka na somo ya moyi makasi te; makasa na yango ezalaka kaka mibesu tango nyonso. Ezalaka na somo ya koya ya mobu ya bokawuki te mpe ebotaka mbuma tango nyonso. »
9 The heart is deceitful above all things and beyond cure. Who can understand it?
Motema eleki biloko nyonso na lokuta mpe ekoki kobika te; nani akoki koyeba yango?
10 I, the LORD, search the heart; I examine the mind to reward a man according to his way, by what his deeds deserve.
« Ngai Yawe, nayebi motema mpe nasosolaka malamu makanisi na yango, mpo na kofuta moto na moto kolanda etamboli mpe misala na ye. »
11 Like a partridge hatching eggs it did not lay is the man who makes a fortune unjustly. In the middle of his days his riches will desert him, and in the end he will be the fool.”
Moto oyo azwaka bomengo na nzela ya sembo te azali lokola ndeke oyo evandeli maki ya ndeke mosusu. Boye, bomengo yango ekokima na kati-kati ya bomoi na ye mpe ekomonisa bozoba na ye na suka ya bomoi na ye.
12 A glorious throne, exalted from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Kiti ya Bokonzi ya nkembo, oyo enetolama wuta na ebandeli ezali nde Esika na biso ya bule.
13 O LORD, the hope of Israel, all who abandon You will be put to shame. All who turn away will be written in the dust, for they have abandoned the LORD, the fountain of living water.
Oh Yawe, Elikya ya Isalaele, bato nyonso oyo basundolaka Yo bakufaka soni, bato oyo bapesaka yo mokongo bakufaka, pamba te basundoli Yawe, Etima ya mayi na bomoi.
14 Heal me, O LORD, and I will be healed; save me, and I will be saved, for You are my praise.
Oh Yawe, bikisa ngai mpe nakobika; Oh Yawe, kangola ngai mpe nakokangolama, mpo ete nakumisaka nde Yo!
15 Behold, they keep saying to me, “Where is the word of the LORD? Let it come now!”
Tala, bato oyo bazali koloba na ngai: « Wapi Liloba na Yawe? Tika ete ekokisama sik’oyo! »
16 But I have not run away from being Your shepherd; I have not desired the day of despair. You know that the utterance of my lips was spoken in Your presence.
Nzokande, naboyaki te kozala mobateli bibwele oyo alandaka nzela na Yo. Oyebi malamu ete nazalaki na posa ya komona mokolo ya pasi te. Maloba oyo ebimaka na monoko na ngai ebimaka nde liboso na Yo.
17 Do not become a terror to me; You are my refuge in the day of disaster.
Kobangisa ngai te, pamba te ozali Ekimelo na ngai na tango ya pasi!
18 Let my persecutors be put to shame, but do not let me be put to shame. Let them be terrified, but do not let me be terrified. Bring upon them the day of disaster and shatter them with double destruction.
Tika ete banyokoli na ngai bayokisama soni, kasi batela ngai ete nayokisama soni te! Tika ete bango balenga na somo, kasi ngai nalenga na somo te. Tindela bango mokolo ya pasi, bebisa bango malamu mbala mibale.
19 This is what the LORD said to me: “Go and stand at the gate of the people, through which the kings of Judah go in and out; and stand at all the other gates of Jerusalem.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kende kotelema na ekuke ya bato, na ekuke oyo bakonzi ya Yuda bakotelaka mpe babimelaka. Kende mpe lisusu kotelema na bikuke nyonso ya Yelusalemi.
20 Say to them, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, all people of Judah and Jerusalem who enter through these gates.
Loba na bango: ‹ Oh bino bakonzi mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda elongo na bino nyonso bavandi ya Yelusalemi, bino oyo bokotelaka na bikuke oyo, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
21 This is what the LORD says: Take heed for yourselves; do not carry a load or bring it through the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bosala keba ete moko te kati na bino amema mikumba na mokolo ya Saba to alekisa yango na bikuke ya Yelusalemi;
22 You must not carry a load out of your houses or do any work on the Sabbath day, but you must keep the Sabbath day holy, just as I commanded your forefathers.
moko te kati na bino abimisa mokumba na ndako na ye to asala mosala songolo na mokolo ya Saba. Kasi bozwa mokolo yango lokola mokolo ya bule ndenge natindaki bakoko na bino.
23 Yet they would not listen or incline their ear, but they stiffened their necks and would not listen or receive My discipline.
Nzokande, baboyaki koyoka, bayeisaki mito na bango makasi mpo na koboya kaka koyoka mpe kolanda mitindo na Ngai.
24 If, however, you listen carefully to Me, says the LORD, and bring no load through the gates of this city on the Sabbath day, and keep the Sabbath day holy, and do no work on it,
Kasi soki penza boyoki Ngai, elobi Yawe, soki bomemi mikumba te, soki bolekisi te mikumba na bikuke ya engumba oyo mpe soki bobulisi mokolo ya Saba, soki bosali ata mosala moko te na mokolo wana ya Saba,
25 then kings and princes will enter through the gates of this city. They will sit on the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses with their officials, along with the men of Judah and the residents of Jerusalem, and this city will be inhabited forever.
bakonzi oyo bavandaka na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi bakokotela na bikuke ya engumba oyo elongo na bakalaka na bango; bongo bango elongo na bakalaka na bango bakoya na likolo ya bashar mpe mpunda elongo na bato ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi; bongo, bato bakovanda libela na libela na engumba oyo.
26 And people will come from the cities of Judah and the places around Jerusalem, from the land of Benjamin, and from the foothills, the hill country, and the Negev, bringing burnt offerings and sacrifices, grain offerings and frankincense, and thank offerings to the house of the LORD.
Bato bakowuta na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na mboka oyo ezali pene ya Yelusalemi, na etuka ya Benjame mpe na ngambo ya weste ya bangomba mikuse, na etuka ya bangomba mpe ya Negevi; mpo na koya kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe bambeka ya kotumba, bambeka mosusu, makabo ya bambuma mpe malasi ya ansa, mpo na kobonza makabo ya kozongisa matondi, kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
27 But if you do not listen to Me to keep the Sabbath day holy by not carrying a load while entering the gates of Jerusalem on the Sabbath day, then I will kindle an unquenchable fire in its gates to consume the citadels of Jerusalem.’”
Kasi soki botosi Ngai te mpe bobulisi te mokolo ya Saba, bongo bomemi mpe bolekisi mikumba na bino na bikuke ya Yelusalemi na mokolo ya Saba, nakopelisa moto oyo ekufaka te na bikuke ya Yelusalemi mpe ekozikisa bandako na yango nyonso oyo batonga makasi. › »
