Jeremiah 51
1 The Lord has said: See, I will make a wind of destruction come up against Babylon and against those who are living in Chaldaea;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala, nakotinda mopepe ya makasi mpo na kobebisa mokili ya Babiloni mpe bato ya Lebi-Kamayi.
2 And I will send men to Babylon to make her clean and get her land cleared: for in the day of trouble they will put up their tents against her on every side.
Nakotinda bapaya na Babiloni mpo na koyungola mpe kobebisa yango: bakobundisa yango na bangambo nyonso na mokolo na yango ya kosambisama.
3 Against her the bow of the archer is bent, and he puts on his coat of metal: have no mercy on her young men, give all her army up to the curse.
Basoda oyo babundaka na matolotolo bakozwa tango te ya kobeta makonga na bango; bakozwa tango te ya kolata bibombelo ya tolo, bakobikisa te basoda na bango ya bilenge mpe bakoboma mampinga na bango nyonso.
4 And the dead will be stretched out in the land of the Chaldaeans, and the wounded in her streets.
Bato oyo bakokweya na mopanga bakotondisa mokili ya Babiloni mpe babalabala na yango ekotonda na bato bazoka bapota.
5 For Israel has not been given up, or Judah, by his God, by the Lord of armies; for their land is full of sin against the Holy One of Israel.
Ata soki mokili na bango etondaki na masumu liboso ya Mosantu ya Isalaele, Nzambe na bango, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abosanaki Isalaele na Yuda te.
6 Go in flight out of Babylon, so that every man may keep his life; do not be cut off in her evil-doing: for it is the time of the Lord's punishment; he will give her her reward.
Bobima na Babiloni, bobikisa bomoi na bino! Soki te, bokokufa likolo ya masumu na bango. Ezali tango oyo Yawe alingi kozongisela bango mabe na mabe mpe kofuta bango ndenge ezali misala na bango.
7 Babylon has been a gold cup in the hand of the Lord, which has made all the earth overcome with wine: the nations have taken of her wine, and for this cause the nations have gone off their heads.
Babiloni ezali lokola kopo ya wolo na loboko ya Yawe; ezalaki kolangwisa mokili mobimba. Bongo bato ya bikolo bameli masanga na yango mpe bakomi lokola bazoba.
8 Sudden is the downfall of Babylon and her destruction: make cries of grief for her; take sweet oil for her pain, if it is possible for her to be made well.
Babiloni ekokweya na mbalakata mpe ekobukana! Bosala matanga mpo na yango mpe botia kisi na pota na yango, tango mosusu akobika.
9 We would have made Babylon well, but she is not made well: give her up, and let us go everyone to his country: for her punishment is stretching up to heaven, and lifted up even to the skies.
‹ Tozalaki na posa ya kobikisa Babiloni, kasi akobika te; yango wana, tobima kati na yango mpe tokende, moto na moto na engumba na ye; pamba te esambiselo na ye ekomi kino na Lola, emati likolo lokola mapata. ›
10 The Lord has made clear our righteousness: come, and let us give an account in Zion of the work of the Lord our God.
‹ Yawe apesi biso etumbu! Boya totatola na Siona makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asali. ›
11 Make bright the arrows; take up the body-covers: the Lord has been moving the spirit of the king of the Medes; because his design against Babylon is its destruction: for it is the punishment from the Lord, the payment for his Temple.
Bopelisa basonge ya makonga, bokamata banguba na bino; pamba te Yawe atindi bakonzi ya Medi mpo ete mokano na Ye ezali ya kobebisa Babiloni. Yawe akozongisa mabe na mabe, akosala yango mpo na Tempelo na Ye.
12 Let the flag be lifted up against the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, put the watchmen in their places, make ready a surprise attack: for it is the Lord's purpose, and he has done what he said about the people of Babylon.
Botelemisa bendele na bino liboso ya bamir ya Babiloni! Bobakisa motango ya bakengeli mpe ya basinzili, botia mitambo! Yawe akokokisa mabongisi na Ye mpe ekateli ya etumbu na Ye mpo na bato ya Babiloni.
13 O you whose living-place is by the wide waters, whose stores are great, your end is come, your evil profit is ended.
Yo oyo ovandaka pembeni ya bibale minene, yo oyo otonda na bomengo mingi, suka na yo ebelemi, tango na yo ya kobebisama ekoki!
14 The Lord of armies has taken an oath by himself, saying, Truly, I will make you full with men as with locusts, and their voices will be loud against you.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alapi ndayi na Kombo na Ye moko: Solo, nakotondisa yo na bato lokola liboke ya mabanki, bongo bakobeta milolo ya elonga likolo na yo.
15 He has made the earth by his power, he has made the world strong in its place by his wisdom, and by his wise design the heavens have been stretched out:
Asala mabele na nguya na Ye, alendisa mokili na bwanya na Ye mpe atanda likolo na mayele na Ye.
16 At the sound of his voice there is a massing of the waters in the heavens, and he makes the mists go up from the ends of the earth; he makes the thunder-flames for the rain and sends out the wind from his store-houses.
Tango agangaka, mayi etiaka makelele makasi kuna na likolo, asangisaka mapata wuta na basuka ya mokili, apelisaka mikalikali, anokisaka mvula mpe abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na Ye.
17 Then every man becomes like a beast without knowledge; every gold-worker is put to shame by the image he has made: for his metal image is deceit, and there is no breath in them.
Bato nyonso bakomaka lokola bazoba, lokola bato oyo basili mayele; monyangwisi bibende na moto atikalaka na soni likolo na bikeko na ye, pamba te bikeko na ye ezalaka na yango biloko ya lokuta, ezalaka na pema te kati na yango.
18 They are nothing, a work of error: in the time of their punishment, destruction will overtake them.
Ezali biloko ya pamba, biloko ya kotiola; ekolimwa na tango ya kosambisama.
19 The heritage of Jacob is not like these; for the maker of all things is his heritage: the Lord of armies is his name.
Ye oyo azali libula ya Jakobi akokani na bikeko wana te, pamba te azali Mokeli ya biloko nyonso, ezala ata ekolo oyo ezali libula na Ye; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
20 You are my fighting axe and my instrument of war: with you the nations will be broken; with you kingdoms will be broken;
Ozalaki solo marto, ebundeli na Ngai ya bitumba: elongo na yo, napanzaki bikolo; elongo na yo, nabebisaki mikili;
21 With you the horse and the horseman will be broken; with you the war-carriage and he who goes in it will be broken;
elongo na yo, napanzaki mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango; elongo na yo, napanzaki shar mpe motambolisi na yango;
22 With you man and woman will be broken; with you the old man and the boy will be broken; with you the young man and the virgin will be broken;
elongo na yo, napanzaki mwasi mpe mobali; elongo na yo, napanzaki mibange mpe bilenge; elongo na yo, napanzaki bilenge mibali mpe bilenge basi;
23 With you the keeper of sheep with his flock will be broken, and with you the farmer and his oxen will be broken, and with you captains and rulers will be broken.
elongo na yo, napanzaki babateli bibwele mpe bibwele na bango; elongo na yo, napanzaki mosali bilanga mpe bangombe na ye; elongo na yo, napanzaki bayangeli mpe bakalaka.
24 And I will give to Babylon, and to all the people of Chaldaea, their reward for all the evil they have done in Zion before your eyes, says the Lord.
Nakozongisela Babiloni mpe bavandi na yango nyonso mabe nyonso oyo basalaki Siona, » elobi Yawe.
25 See, I am against you, says the Lord, O mountain of destruction, causing the destruction of all the earth: and my hand will be stretched out on you, rolling you down from the rocks, and making you a burned mountain.
« Yo ngomba oyo obebisaka, yo oyo obebisaka mokili, nakotelemela yo, » elobi Yawe, « nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kotelemela yo, nakokitisa yo wuta na likolo ya mabanga, mpe nakokomisa yo ngomba ezika na moto.
26 And they will not take from you a stone for the angle of a wall or the base of a building; but you will be a waste place for ever, says the Lord.
Bakotikala lisusu te kozwa epai na yo libanga oyo batongelaka basonge ya bamir to libanga oyo batongelaka miboko; pamba te okobebisama mpo na libela, » elobi Yawe.
27 Let a flag be lifted up in the land, let the horn be sounded among the nations, make the nations ready against her; get the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashkenaz together against her, make ready a scribe against her; let the horses come up against her like massed locusts.
« Botelemisa bendele kati na mokili! Bobeta kelelo kati na bikolo! Bobongisa bikolo mpo na kobundisa Babiloni, bobenga bakonzi ya basoda ya mikili ya Ararati, ya Mini mpe ya Ashikenazi mpo ete babundisa yango. Bopona mokonzi moko ya basoda mpo ete atambolisa bitumba, botinda bampunda lokola liboke ya mabanki.
28 Make the nations ready for war against her, the king of the Medes and his rulers and all his captains, and all the land under his rule.
Bobongisa bikolo mpo na kobundisa yango: bakonzi ya Medi, bayangeli na bango mpe bakalaka na bango nyonso mpe bamboka nyonso oyo bazali kokamba.
29 And the land is shaking and in pain: for the purposes of the Lord are fixed, to make the land of Babylon an unpeopled waste.
Mikili ezali koningana mpe kotepatepa, pamba te mikano ya Yawe mpo na Babiloni ezali kokokisama mpo na kobebisa yango mpo ete, ata moto moko te atikala kovanda lisusu kuna.
30 Babylon's men of war have kept back from the fight, waiting in their strong places; their strength has given way, they have become like women: her houses have been put on fire, her locks are broken.
Basoda ya Babiloni batiki kobunda, babombami kati na bandako batonga makasi. Makasi na bango esili, bakomi lokola basi. Bandako ya Babiloni etumbami mpe babuki bikangelo bikuke na yango.
31 One man, running, will give word to another, and one who goes with news will be handing it on to another, to give word to the king of Babylon that his town has been taken from every quarter:
Bato oyo bamemaka mikanda bazali kolandana mbangu, mpe bamemi sango bazali kolandana mbangu mpo na koyebisa mokonzi ya Babiloni ete babotoli engumba mobimba,
32 And the ways across the river have been taken, and the water-holes ... burned with fire, and the men of war are in the grip of fear.
bakangi bapon mpe bibale; banzete oyo ebotaka na mayi esili na kozika moto mpe basoda bakomi na somo. »
33 For these are the words of the Lord of armies, the God of Israel: The daughter of Babylon is like a grain-floor when it is stamped down; before long, the time of her grain-cutting will come.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Elenge mwasi Babiloni azali lokola etando ya ble na tango banyataka-nyataka yango; mpe etikali moke, tango ya kokata ble ekokoka mpo na yango.
34 Nebuchadrezzar, king of Babylon, has made a meal of me, violently crushing me, he has made me a vessel with nothing in it, he has taken me in his mouth like a dragon, he has made his stomach full with my delicate flesh, crushing me with his teeth.
Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abomaki biso; solo, atiaki biso na mobulu, akomisaki biso lokola mbeki ya pamba; amelaki biso ndenge nguma emelaka nyama, atondisaki libumu na ye na biloko na biso ya kitoko; mpe sima, asanzaki biso.
35 May the violent things done to me, and my downfall, come on Babylon, the daughter of Zion will say; and, May my blood be on the people of Chaldaea, Jerusalem will say.
Tika ete mabe oyo basali biso mpe bana na biso ekweyela Babiloni, » elobi bavandi ya Siona! « Tika ete makila na biso etangama na mito ya bavandi ya Babiloni, elobi bavandi ya Yelusalemi! »
36 For this reason the Lord has said: See, I will give support to your cause, and take payment for what you have undergone; I will make her sea dry, and her fountain without water.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala, nakozwa likambo na yo na maboko mpe nakozongisa mabe na bato oyo basalaki yo mabe, nakokawusa ebale na yango ya monene mpe nakokawusa maziba na yango.
37 And Babylon will become a mass of broken walls, a hole for jackals, a cause of wonder and surprise, without a living man in it.
Mokili ya Babiloni ekokoma liboke ya mabanga, ndako ya mbwa ya zamba, eloko ya somo mpe ya kotiola; bongo, bato bakovanda lisusu kuna te.
38 They will be crying out together like lions, their voices will be like the voices of young lions.
Bato na yango nyonso bakokoma koganga lokola nkosi ya mike mpe kolela lokola bana ya nkosi.
39 When they are heated, I will make a feast for them, and overcome them with wine, so that they may become unconscious, sleeping an eternal sleep without awaking, says the Lord.
Kasi tango bakokoma na posa makasi ya kosangisa nzoto, nakobongisela bango feti mpe nakolangwisa bango masanga mpo ete batondisama na esengo; bongo, bakolala pongi ya libela mpe bakoka lisusu kolamuka te, » elobi Yawe,
40 I will make them go down to death like lambs, like he-goats together.
« nakomema bango ndenge bamemaka bampate to bameme ya mibali to mpe bantaba ya mibali na esika oyo babomelaka bibwele.
41 How is Babylon taken! and the praise of all the earth surprised! how has Babylon become a cause of wonder among the nations!
Ndenge nini bakangi Sheshaki! Ndenge nini basukisi lolendo ya ekolo oyo ezalaki kosala lokumu ya mokili mobimba! Ndenge nini penza Babiloni ekomi penza eloko ya somo kati na bikolo!
42 The sea has come up over Babylon; she is covered with the mass of its waves.
Ebale monene ekozindisa Babiloni, makelele ya bambonge na yango ekozipa mokili ya Babiloni.
43 Her towns have become a waste, a dry and unwatered land, where no man has his living-place and no son of man goes by.
Bingumba na yango ekobebisama, ekokoma lokola mokili oyo ekawuka to lokola esobe, mokili oyo bato bavandaka te, mokili epai wapi bato bayaka na mibembo te.
44 And I will send punishment on Bel in Babylon, and take out of his mouth what went into it; no longer will the nations be flowing together to him: truly, the wall of Babylon will come down.
Nakopesa Beli etumbu kati na Babiloni, nakobimisa ye eloko oyo ameli na monoko; ekolo moko te ekoya lisusu epai na ye mpe bamir ya Babiloni ekokweya.
45 My people, go out from her, and let every man get away safe from the burning wrath of the Lord.
Oh bato na Ngai, bobima na Babiloni! Bobikisa bomoi na bino liboso ya kanda makasi ya Yawe!
46 So that your hearts may not become feeble and full of fear because of the news which will go about in the land; for a story will go about one year, and after that in another year another story, and violent acts in the land, ruler against ruler.
Bobanga te mpe bolemba nzoto te tango bokoyoka basango ya mabe kati na mokili: mobu oyo, sango ya mabe; mobu oyo elandi, sango mosusu ya mabe; kaka sango ya mobulu kati na mokili to sango ya mokonzi moko abundisi mokonzi mosusu.
47 For this cause, truly, the days are coming when I will send punishment on the images of Babylon, and all her land will be shamed, and her dead will be falling down in her.
Pamba te tango ekoya solo, tango oyo nakopesa etumbu na banzambe ya Babiloni; mpe mokili na yango nyonso ekozala na soni, mpe bato na yango nyonso oyo bazokisa makasi na mopanga bakokufa kuna.
48 And the heaven and the earth and everything in them, will make a song of joy over Babylon: for those who make her waste will come from the north, says the Lord.
Bongo likolo, mabele mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ekoganga na esengo mpo na komona kobebisama ya Babiloni, pamba te babebisi bakobimela na nor mpo na kobundisa yango, » elobi Yawe.
49 As Babylon had the dead of Israel put to the sword, so in Babylon the dead of all the land will be stretched out.
« Babiloni mpe esengeli kokweya, mpo na bana ya Isalaele oyo bakufaki, ndenge kaka bato ya mokili mobimba bakufaki mpo na Babiloni.
50 You who have got away safe from the sword, go, waiting for nothing; have the Lord in memory when you are far away, and keep Jerusalem in mind.
Bino bato oyo bobiki na mopanga, bokima, bolekisa tango te! Wuta na mokili ya mosika, bokanisa Yawe mpe Yelusalemi!
51 We are shamed because bitter words have come to our ears; our faces are covered with shame: for men from strange lands have come into the holy places of the Lord's house.
Tosambwe, pamba te totiolami; mpe bilongi na biso ezipami na soni mpo ete bapaya bakoti kino na bisika ya bule ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
52 For this reason, see, the days are coming, says the Lord, when I will send punishment on her images; and through all her land the wounded will be crying out in pain.
Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakopesa etumbu na banzambe ya Babiloni, mpe mokili mobimba ekotonda na makelele ya bato oyo bazoka bapota ya somo.
53 Even if Babylon was lifted up to heaven, even if she had the high places of her strength shut in with walls, still I would send against her those who will make her waste, says the Lord.
Ata soki mokili ya Babiloni emati kino na Lola mpe elendisi bandako na yango oyo batonga makasi, nakotindela yango bato mpo na kokweyisa yango, » elobi Yawe.
54 There is the sound of a cry from Babylon, and of a great destruction from the land of the Chaldaeans:
« Makelele ya koganga ekoyokana, wuta na mokili ya Babiloni, lokito makasi ya kobebisama ya mokili ya bato ya Babiloni.
55 For the Lord is making Babylon waste, and putting an end to the great voice coming out of her; and her waves are thundering like great waters, their voice is sounding loud:
Pamba te Yawe akobebisa Babiloni mpe akokanga yango monoko. Lokito ya banguna ekoyokana lokola makelele ya bambonge ya bibale minene; bongo mingongo ya bato ekoyokana makasi.
56 For the waster has come on her, even on Babylon, and her men of war are taken, their bows are broken: for the Lord is a rewarding God, and he will certainly give payment.
Mobebisi akoya kobundisa Babiloni; bongo bakokanga basoda na yango ya mpiko mpe bakobuka matolotolo na bango, pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe oyo afutaka: afutaka kolanda misala ya moto na moto.
57 And I will make her chiefs and her wise men, her rulers and her captains and her men of war, overcome with wine; their sleep will be an eternal sleep without awaking, says the King; the Lord of armies is his name.
Nakolangwisa masanga: bakalaka mpe bato na yango ya bwanya, bayangeli, bakonzi ya basoda mpe basoda na yango ya mpiko. Bakolala pongi ya libela mpe bakolamuka lisusu te, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali: Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
58 The Lord of armies has said: The wide walls of Babylon will be completely uncovered and her high doorways will be burned with fire; so peoples keep on working for nothing, and the weariness of nations comes to an end in the smoke.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Bamir nyonso ya milayi ya Babiloni ekokweyisama mpe bikuke na yango nyonso ya minene ekozikisama na moto; bato bazali kosala bobele mosala ya pamba mpe bato ya bikolo mosusu bazali komimonisa pasi mpo na mosala oyo ekobeba na moto. »
59 The order which Jeremiah the prophet gave to Seraiah, the son of Neriah, the son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah, the king of Judah, to Babylon in the fourth year of his rule. Now Seraiah was the chief controller of the house.
Tala sango oyo mosakoli Jeremi apesaki epai ya Seraya, mwana mobali ya Neriya, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, tango akendeki na Babiloni elongo na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi na ye. Seraya azalaki mokonzi ya molako.
60 And Jeremiah put in a book all the evil which was to come on Babylon.
Jeremi akomaki kati na buku pasi nyonso oyo esengelaki kokomela Babiloni. Makambo wana nyonso ekomamaki na tina na mokili ya Babiloni.
61 And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, see that you give them all these words;
Jeremi alobaki na Seraya: « Tango okokoma kati na Babiloni, sala ete otanga makambo oyo nyonso na mongongo makasi.
62 And after reading them, say, O Lord, you have said about this place that it is to be cut off, so that no one will be living in it, not a man or a beast, but it will be unpeopled for ever.
Bongo okoloba: ‹ Oh Yawe, Yo moko nde olobaki ete okobebisa esika oyo mpo ete bato mpe bibwele bavanda lisusu awa te, kasi etikala pamba mpo na libela. ›
63 And it will be that, when you have come to an end of reading this book, you are to have a stone fixed to it, and have it dropped into the Euphrates:
Tango okosilisa kotanga buku yango, kangisa yango na libanga, bwaka yango na ebale Efrate mpe loba:
64 And you are to say, So Babylon will go down, never to be lifted up again, because of the evil which I will send on her: and weariness will overcome them. So far, these are the words of Jeremiah.
‹ Ezali boye nde Babiloni ekozinda mpe ekomata lisusu te, likolo ya pasi oyo nakotindela yango. Mpe bato na yango bakokweya. › » Maloba ya Jeremi esuki awa.
