< Jeremiah 39 >
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon marched against Jerusalem with his entire army and laid siege to the city.
Tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, na sanza ya zomi, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso, ayaki kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe azingelaki yango.
2 And on the ninth day of the fourth month of Zedekiah’s eleventh year, the city was breached.
Tango Sedesiasi akokisaki mibu zomi na moko na bokonzi, na mokolo ya libwa ya sanza ya minei, lidusu moko efungwamaki kati na mir ya engumba.
3 Then all the officials of the king of Babylon entered and sat in the Middle Gate: Nergal-sharezer of Samgar, Nebo-sarsekim the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the rest of the officials of the king of Babylon.
Bakalaka nyonso ya mokonzi ya Babiloni bakotaki kati na engumba mpe bayaki kovanda na Ekuke ya kati-kati. Ezalaki Nerigali-Saretseri, Samigari-Nebu; Sarisekimi, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu; Nerigali-Saretseri, mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga, mpe bakonzi mosusu ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Babiloni.
4 When Zedekiah king of Judah and all the soldiers saw them, they fled. They left the city at night by way of the king’s garden, through the gate between the two walls, and they went out along the route to the Arabah.
Tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe basoda nyonso bamonaki bongo, bakimaki, babimaki na engumba butu-butu, na nzela ya elanga ya mokonzi, na Ekuke oyo ezali na kati-kati ya bamir mibale; bakendeki na nzela ya lubwaku ya Yordani.
5 But the army of the Chaldeans pursued them and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho. They seized him and brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon at Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he pronounced judgment on him.
Kasi basoda ya Babiloni balandaki bango mpe bakangaki Sedesiasi, na etando ya Jeriko; bazwaki ye mpe bamemaki ye na Ribila, kati na mokili ya Amati, epai ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo akatelaki ye etumbu.
6 There at Riblah the king of Babylon slaughtered the sons of Zedekiah before his eyes, and he also killed all the nobles of Judah.
Kuna na Ribila, mokonzi ya Babiloni apesaki mitindo ete bakata, na miso na ye, mito ya bana mibali ya Sedesiasi mpe ya bankumu nyonso ya Yuda.
7 Then he put out Zedekiah’s eyes and bound him with bronze chains to take him to Babylon.
Apesaki lisusu mitindo ete batobola miso ya Sedesiasi, bakanga ye minyololo ya bibende ya bronze mpo na komema ye na Babiloni.
8 The Chaldeans set fire to the palace of the king and to the houses of the people, and they broke down the walls of Jerusalem.
Basoda ya Babiloni batumbaki ndako ya mokonzi mpe bandako ya bato, mpe babukaki bamir ya Yelusalemi.
9 Then Nebuzaradan captain of the guard carried away to Babylon the remnant of the people who had remained in the city, along with the deserters who had defected to him.
Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, amemaki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, bato oyo batikalaki kati na engumba elongo na bato oyo bayaki komitika bango moko epai na ye, mpe bato mosusu.
10 But Nebuzaradan left behind in the land of Judah some of the poor people who had no property, and at that time he gave them vineyards and fields.
Kasi Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, atikaki kati na mokili ya Yuda, babola oyo bazalaki ata na eloko moko te; apesaki bango bilanga ya vino mpe bilanga.
11 Now Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon had given orders about Jeremiah through Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, saying,
Nzokande, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, na tina na mosakoli Jeremi:
12 “Take him, look after him, and do not let any harm come to him; do for him whatever he says.”
« Kamata ye, batela ye, kosala ye mabe te; kasi salela ye makambo nyonso oyo akosenga yo. »
13 So Nebuzaradan captain of the guard, Nebushazban the Rabsaris, Nergal-sharezer the Rabmag, and all the captains of the king of Babylon
Boye, Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi; Nebutsasibani, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu; Nerigali-Saretseri, mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Babiloni
14 had Jeremiah brought from the courtyard of the guard, and they turned him over to Gedaliah son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, to take him home. So Jeremiah remained among his own people.
batindaki ete bazwa Jeremi kati na lopango ya mokonzi mpe bapesaki ye na maboko ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, mpo ete azongisa ye na ndako na ye. Boye Jeremi awumelaki kati na bato na ye.
15 And while Jeremiah had been confined in the courtyard of the guard, the word of the LORD had come to him:
Wana Jeremi azalaki ya kokangama kati na lopango ya bakengeli, Yawe alobaki na ye:
16 “Go and tell Ebed-melech the Cushite that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘I am about to fulfill My words against this city for harm and not for good, and on that day they will be fulfilled before your eyes.
— Kende koyebisa Ebedi-Meleki, moto ya Kushi: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakomi pene ya kokokisa makambo oyo nalakaki mpo na engumba oyo, makambo ya pasi kasi ya esengo te; tango makambo yango ekokokisama, ekosalema na miso na yo.
17 But I will deliver you on that day, declares the LORD, and you will not be delivered into the hands of the men whom you fear.
Kasi na mokolo wana, nakobatela yo, › elobi Yawe, ‹ okokabama te na maboko ya bato oyo yo ozali kobanga.
18 For I will surely rescue you so that you do not fall by the sword. Because you have trusted in Me, you will escape with your life like a spoil of war, declares the LORD.’”
Solo, nakobikisa yo, mpe okokufa na mopanga te; kasi bomoi na yo ekozala bomengo na yo ya bitumba, pamba te otielaka Ngai elikya, elobi Yawe. › »
