Jeremiah 8
1 “At that time,” declares the LORD, “the bones of the kings of Judah, the bones of the officials, the bones of the priests, the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the people of Jerusalem will be removed from their graves.
Na tango wana, elobi Yawe, bakobimisa mikuwa ya bakonzi mpe ya bakalaka ya Yuda, mikuwa ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya basakoli elongo na mikuwa ya bato ya Yelusalemi, wuta na malita na bango.
2 They will be exposed to the sun and moon, and to all the host of heaven which they have loved, served, followed, consulted, and worshiped. Their bones will not be gathered up or buried, but will become like dung lying on the ground.
Bakotanda yango na se ya moyi, na se ya sanza mpe na se ya mampinga nyonso ya likolo, oyo balingaki, basalelaki na esengo, balandaki, batunaki makambo mpe bafukamelaki. Bakosangisa lisusu mikuwa yango te mpo na kokunda yango, kasi ekokoma lokola matiti ya kopola, na mabele.
3 And wherever I have banished them, the remnant of this evil family will choose death over life,” declares the LORD of Hosts.
Na bisika nyonso oyo nakopanza bango, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, bato nyonso oyo bakotikala na bomoi kati na ekolo oyo ya mabe bakoluka kufa na esika ya bomoi. ›
4 So you are to tell them this is what the LORD says: “Do men fall and not get up again? Does one turn away and not return?
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Boni, soki moto akweyi, atelemaka te? Soki moto abungi nzela, azongaka lisusu na nzela te?
5 Why then have these people turned away? Why does Jerusalem always turn away? They cling to deceit; they refuse to return.
Mpo na nini bato ya Yelusalemi babungi nzela? Mpo na nini bazali kokangama kaka na nzela na bango ya mabe? Bamipesi makasi na makambo ya lokuta mpe baboyi kozongela Ngai.
6 I have listened and heard; they do not speak what is right. No one repents of his wickedness, asking, ‘What have I done?’ Everyone has pursued his own course like a horse charging into battle.
Nayokaka na bokebi makambo nyonso oyo balobaka, kasi balobaka makambo ya solo te. Moko te kati na bango ayokaka motema pasi mpo na mabe oyo asalaka, alobaka: ‘Nasali nini?’ Moto na moto akangamaka kaka na nzela na ye lokola mpunda oyo ezali kokende na bitumba.
7 Even the stork in the sky knows her appointed seasons. The turtledove, the swift, and the thrush keep their time of migration, but My people do not know the requirements of the LORD.
Ezala kutu nkongi, kati na likolo, eyebaka bileko ya kokende na bisika mosusu; ebenga, ndeke ya mayi mpe mbilambila eyebaka ata tango ya kozonga, kasi bato na Ngai bayebi mibeko ya Yawe te.
8 How can you say, ‘We are wise, and the Law of the LORD is with us,’ when in fact the lying pen of the scribes has produced a deception?
Ndenge nini bokoki koloba: ‘Tozali bato ya bwanya, pamba te toyebi Mobeko ya Yawe,’ tango sik’oyo ekomeli ya balakisi ya Mobeko ebongoli yango lokuta?
9 The wise will be put to shame; they will be dismayed and trapped. Since they have rejected the word of the LORD, what wisdom do they really have?
Bato ya bwanya bakoyokisama soni, bakoyoka somo mpe bakokende na bowumbu, pamba te batiolaki Liloba na Yawe. Bazali na bwanya ya ndenge nini?
10 Therefore I will give their wives to other men and their fields to new owners. For from the least of them to the greatest, all are greedy for gain; from prophet to priest, all practice deceit.
Yango wana, nakokaba basi na bango epai ya mibali mosusu, mpe bilanga na bango epai ya bato mosusu; pamba te bango nyonso, ezala mikolo to bana mike, batondi na lokoso ya mbongo; basakoli mpe Banganga-Nzambe nyonso bakomi se kotambola na lokuta;
11 They dress the wound of the daughter of My people with very little care, saying, ‘Peace, peace,’ when there is no peace at all.
bazali kosalisa bapota ya bato na Ngai likolo-likolo mpe bazali koloba: ‘Makambo nyonso ezali malamu, nyonso ezali kotambola malamu!’ Nzokande, ata likambo moko ya malamu ezali te.
12 Are they ashamed of the abomination they have committed? No, they have no shame at all; they do not even know how to blush. So they will fall among the fallen; when I punish them, they will collapse, says the LORD.
Boni, bazali koyokela makambo na bango ya nkele soni? Te! Bazali koyoka ata soni te; bayebi kutu te ndenge bayokaka soni! Yango wana, bakokufa lokola bato nyonso, bakokweyisama tango bakozwa etumbu, elobi Yawe.
13 I will take away their harvest, declares the LORD. There will be no grapes on the vine, nor figs on the tree, and even the leaf will wither. Whatever I have given them will be lost to them.”
Nakobebisa milona na bango, elobi Yawe. Bambuma ya vino ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya vino, mbuma ya figi ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya figi, mpe makasa ya banzete yango ekokawuka. Bakobotola bango biloko oyo napesaki bango. › »
14 Why are we just sitting here? Gather together, let us flee to the fortified cities and perish there, for the LORD our God has doomed us. He has given us poisoned water to drink, because we have sinned against the LORD.
Mpo na nini tozali kovanda awa? Tosangana esika moko! Tika ete tokima kati na bingumba batonga makasi mpo ete tokufela kuna! Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, afungoleli biso ekuke ya kufa mpe apesi biso mayi oyo ezali na ngenge mpo ete tomela, pamba te tosalaki masumu liboso na Ye.
15 We hoped for peace, but no good has come, for a time of healing, but there was only terror.
Tozalaki na elikya ete tokozala na kimia, kasi tomoni likambo moko te ya malamu; tozalaki na elikya ete tokobika, kasi pasi na pasi nde ezali kolanda biso!
16 The snorting of enemy horses is heard from Dan. At the sound of the neighing of mighty steeds, the whole land quakes. They come to devour the land and everything in it, the city and all who dwell in it.
Lokito ya bampunda ya banguna mpe makelele ya makolo na yango ezali koyokana wuta na Dani, ezali koya mpo na kobebisa mokili mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, engumba mpe bavandi na yango nyonso, bongo mokili mobimba eningani.
17 “For behold, I will send snakes among you, vipers that cannot be charmed, and they will bite you,”
« Botala, nakotindela bino banyoka oyo ebomaka, bitupa oyo moto akoki kosakana na yango te, mpo ete eswa bino, » elobi Yawe.
18 My sorrow is beyond healing; my heart is faint within me.
Pasi na ngai ezangeli kisi mpo na kosilisa yango, motema na ngai elembi kati na ngai.
19 Listen to the cry of the daughter of my people from a land far away: “Is the LORD no longer in Zion? Is her King no longer there?” “Why have they provoked Me to anger with their carved images, with their worthless foreign idols?”
Yoka koganga ya bato na ngai wuta na mokili ya mosika: « Boni, Yawe azali lisusu te, kati na Siona? Mokonzi na yango azali lisusu kuna te? » « Mpo na nini batumbolaki kanda na Ngai na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, na nzela ya banzambe ya bapaya oyo ezanga ata tina? »
20 “The harvest has passed, the summer has ended, but we have not been saved.”
« Tango ya kobuka mbuma esili koleka, elanga mpe esili kokoma na suka, kasi biso tobikisami te. »
21 For the brokenness of the daughter of my people I am crushed. I mourn; horror has gripped me.
Ndenge bato na ngai bazali koyoka pasi, ndenge wana mpe ngai nazali koyoka pasi, nazali kolela, mpe somo ekangi ngai makasi.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is no physician there? Why then has the health of the daughter of my people not been restored?
Boni, kisi ezali te kati na Galadi? Minganga bazali kuna te? Bongo mpo na nini bato na ngai bazali kobika te?
