< Jeremiah 19 >

1 This is what the LORD says: “Go and buy a clay jar from a potter. Take some of the elders of the people and leaders of the priests,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: — Kende kosomba mbeki epai ya mosali mbeki. Kende nzela moko na bakambi ya bato mpe bakambi ya Banganga-Nzambe;
2 and go out to the Valley of Ben-hinnom near the entrance of the Potsherd Gate. Proclaim there the words I speak to you,
bimela na nzela ya Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, na liboso ya ekuke ya ndako epai wapi basalaka mbeki; mpe kuna, okosakola maloba oyo nakoyebisa yo.
3 saying, ‘Hear the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah and residents of Jerusalem. This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: I am going to bring such disaster on this place that the ears of all who hear of it will ring,
Loba: « Bino bakonzi ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi, boyoka Liloba na Yawe! Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Boyoka! Nakoyeisa pasi makasi na esika oyo; mpe moto nyonso oyo akoyoka sango na yango, akozala na somo.
4 because they have abandoned Me and made this a foreign place. They have burned incense in this place to other gods that neither they nor their fathers nor the kings of Judah have ever known. They have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
Lokola bato oyo basundoli Ngai mpe bakomisi esika oyo esika ya banzambe ya bapaya, lokola bakomi kotumba mbeka na esika oyo mpo na banzambe oyo; ezala bango, batata na bango to bakonzi ya Yuda, batikalaki koyeba te, batondisi esika oyo na makila ya bato oyo basali mabe ata moko te,
5 They have built high places to Baal on which to burn their children in the fire as offerings to Baal—something I never commanded or mentioned, nor did it even enter My mind.
batongi bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na Bala, mpo na kotumba bana na bango na moto lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai ya Bala; nzokande Ngai natikala kotinda bango likambo ya boye te to mpe likambo ya boye etikala ata komata na makanisi na Ngai te;
6 So behold, the days are coming, declares the LORD, when this place will no longer be called Topheth or the Valley of Ben-hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
yango wana, na mikolo ekoya, elobi Yawe, bakobenga lisusu te esika oyo: ‹ Tofeti to Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, › kasi bakokoma kobenga yango: ‹ Lubwaku oyo babomelaka bato. ›
7 And in this place I will ruin the plans of Judah and Jerusalem. I will make them fall by the sword before their enemies, by the hands of those who seek their lives, and I will give their carcasses as food to the birds of the air and the beasts of the earth.
Kaka na esika oyo, nakobebisa mabongisi ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi; nakosala ete bakweya na mopanga ya banguna na bango mpe na maboko ya bato oyo bazali na posa ya kosala bango mabe. Nakokomisa bibembe na bango bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba.
8 I will make this city a desolation and an object of scorn. All who pass by will be appalled and will scoff at all her wounds.
Nakobebisa engumba oyo mpe nakokomisa yango eloko ya kotiola. Bato nyonso oyo bakolekela awa bakokamwa mpe bakoyoka somo wana bakomona kobeba na yango nyonso.
9 I will make them eat the flesh of their sons and daughters, and they will eat one another’s flesh in the siege and distress inflicted on them by their enemies who seek their lives.’
Nakoleisa bango misuni ya bana na bango ya basi mpe ya mibali, bakoliana bango na bango tango bato oyo bazali na posa ya kosala bango mabe bakozingela bango.
10 Then you are to shatter the jar in the presence of the men who accompany you,
Boye, buka mbeki na miso ya bato oyo bozali kokende na bango nzela moko
11 and you are to proclaim to them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: I will shatter this nation and this city, like one shatters a potter’s jar that can never again be repaired. They will bury the dead in Topheth until there is no more room to bury them.
mpe loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Nakobebisa ekolo mpe engumba oyo, kaka ndenge bapanzaka mbeki oyo mosali mbeki asali, mpe bakokoka lisusu kobongisa yango te. Bakokunda bibembe na Tofeti kino esika ya kokunda ekotikala lisusu te.
12 This is what I will do to this place and to its residents, declares the LORD. I will make this city like Topheth.
Yango ezali makambo oyo nakosala na esika oyo mpe epai ya bavandi ya esika oyo, elobi Yawe, nakokomisa engumba oyo lokola Tofeti.
13 The houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be defiled like that place, Topheth—all the houses on whose rooftops they burned incense to all the host of heaven and poured out drink offerings to other gods.”
Bandako ya Yelusalemi mpe bandako ya bakonzi ya Yuda ekokoma mbindo lokola esika oyo na kombo Tofeti, bandako nyonso oyo, na likolo ya manzanza na yango, bazalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa mpo na mampinga nyonso ya likolo mpe bazalaki kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino mpo na banzambe mosusu. › »
14 Then Jeremiah returned from Topheth, where the LORD had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the courtyard of the house of the LORD and proclaimed to all the people,
Jeremi azongaki wuta na Tofeti epai wapi Yawe atindaki ye mpo na kosakola, atelemaki na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe alobaki na bato nyonso:
15 “This is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Behold, I am about to bring on this city and on all the villages around it every disaster I have pronounced against them, because they have stiffened their necks so as not to heed My words.’”
— Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Boyoka! Nakoyeisa na engumba oyo mpe na mboka oyo ezali zingazinga na yango pasi nyonso oyo nasakolaki na tina na yango, pamba te batosaki Ngai te mpe bayokaki maloba na ngai te. »
