Jeremias 16
1 And you shall not take a wife, says the Lord God of Israel:
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 and there shall be no son born to you, nor daughter in this place.
« Okobala te mpe okotikala kobota bana mibali to bana basi na esika oyo te. »
3 For thus says the Lord concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that have born them, and concerning their fathers that have begotten them in this land;
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na bana mibali mpe bana basi oyo bakobotama na mboka oyo, mpe na tina na basi oyo bazali bamama na bango mpe mibali oyo bazali batata na bango:
4 They shall die of grievous death; they shall not be lamented, nor buried; they shall be for an example on the face of the earth; and they shall be for the wild beasts of the land, and for the birds of the sky: they shall fall by the sword, and shall be consumed with famine.
« Bakokufa na kufa ya somo, bakolela bango te mpe bakokunda bango te, kasi bakozala lokola matiti ya kopola na mabele. Bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, bongo bibembe na bango ekokoma bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba. »
5 Thus says the Lord, Enter not into their mourning feast, and go not to lament, and mourn not for them: for I have removed my peace from this people.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Kokota na ndako oyo ezali na matanga te, kokende na matanga te mpe koyokela bato oyo bazali na matanga mawa te, pamba te nalongoli kimia na Ngai, bolingo na Ngai mpe mawa na Ngai epai ya bato oyo, » elobi Yawe,
6 They shall not bewail them, nor make cuttings for them, and they shall not shave themselves [for them]:
« ezala mikolo to bana mike, bango nyonso bakosila kokufa kati na mokili oyo. Bakokunda bango te mpe bakosalela bango matanga te, bongo moto moko te akomikata banzoloko to kokokola suki ya moto mpo na bango.
7 and there shall be no bread broken in mourning for them for consolation over the dead: they shall not give one to drink a cup for consolation over his father or his mother.
Moto moko te akopesa bilei mpo na kobondisa bato oyo bazali na matanga sima na kufa, mpe moto moko te akopesa bango masanga mpo na kobondisa bango, ezala ata mpo na kufa ya batata to ya bamama na bango.
8 You shall not enter into the banquet-house, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
Mpe kokota te na ndako oyo bazali kosala feti mpo na kovanda mpe komela,
9 For thus says the Lord God of Israel; Behold, I [will] make to cease out of this place before your eyes, and in your days, the voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
pamba te tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nakosilisa kati na esika oyo, na miso na bino mpe na tango na bino, makelele ya esengo mpe makelele ya kosepela, mingongo ya babalani mpe ya babandami na libala.
10 And it shall come to pass, when you shall report to this people all these words, and they shall say to you, Therefore has the Lord pronounced against us all these evils? what is our unrighteousness? and what is our sin which we have sinned before the Lord our God?
Tango okotatola maloba oyo nyonso na bato oyo, soki batuni yo: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe akateli biso etumbu ya pasi makasi boye? Mabe nini tosalaki Ye? Masumu nini tosalaki liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso? ›
11 Then you shall say to them, Because your fathers forsook me, says the Lord, and went after strange gods and served them, and worshipped them, and forsook me, and kept not my law;
Okoloba na bango: ‹ Ezali mpo ete batata na bino basundolaki Ngai, › elobi Yawe, ‹ basalaki banzambe ya bapaya, basalelaki yango mpe bafukamelaki yango. Batikaki Ngai mpe babatelaki Mobeko na Ngai te.
12 (and you sinned worse than your fathers; for, behold, you walk every one after the lusts of your own evil heart, so as not to listen to me);
Bongo bino, bozali mpe kotambola na ezaleli mabe koleka ata ezaleli mabe ya batata na bino. Botala ndenge nini moko na moko kati na bino azali kolanda makanisi mabe ya motema na ye, na esika ya kotosa Ngai.
13 therefore I will cast you off from this good land into a land which neither you nor your fathers have known; and you shall serve their other gods, who shall have no mercy upon you.
Yango wana, nakobwaka bino libanda ya mokili oyo mpe nakomema bino na mokili oyo, ezala bino to batata na bino, botikala koyeba te; mpe kuna, bokosalela banzambe ya bapaya, butu mpe moyi; pamba te nakoyokela bino mawa te. ›
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The Lord lives, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Yango wana, na mikolo oyo ezali koya, » elobi Yawe, « bato bakotika koloba: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe oyo abimisaki bana ya Isalaele na Ejipito; ›
15 but, The Lord lives, who brought up the house of Israel from the land of the north, and from all countries whither they were thrust out: and I will restore them to their own land, which I gave to their fathers.
kasi bakokoma koloba: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe oyo abimisaki bana ya Isalaele na mokili ya nor mpe na mikili nyonso epai wapi abenganaki bango. › Nakozongisa bango na mokili na bango, mokili oyo napesaki bakoko na bango.
16 Behold, I [will] send many fishers, says the Lord, and they shall fish them; and afterward I will send many hunters, and they shall hunt them upon every mountain, and upon every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Solo, nakotinda balobi mbisi ebele, » elobi Yawe, « mpe bakoboma mbisi ebele; bato ya bokila ebele mpe bakoboma banyama ebele na likolo ya bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse kino kati na madusu ya mabanga.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways; and their iniquities have not been hidden from mine eyes.
Nazali kotala malamu banzela na bango nyonso; moto moko te akoki kobombama na miso na Ngai, mpe masumu na bango ekoki ata moke te kobombama na miso na Ngai.
18 And I will recompense their mischiefs doubly, and their sins, whereby they have profaned my land with the carcases of their abominations, and with their iniquities, whereby they have trespassed against mine inheritance.
Nakofutisa bango mbala mibale lifuti ya mabe na bango mpe ya masumu na bango, pamba te bakomisi mokili na Ngai mbindo na nzela ya bililingi mpe ya bikeko na bango oyo ezanga bomoi, mpe batondisi libula na Ngai na banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe ya nkele. »
19 O Lord, you are my strength, and mine help, and my refuge in days of evil: to you the Gentiles shall come from the end of the earth, and shall say, How vain [were the] idols [which] our fathers procured to themselves, and there is no help in them.
Oh Yawe, Makasi na ngai mpe Ndako na ngai batonga makasi, Ekimelo na ngai na tango ya pasi, bato ya bikolo nyonso bakoya epai na Yo wuta na basuka ya mokili mpe bakoloba: « Batata na biso bazalaki kaka na banzambe ya lokuta, banzambe ya pamba oyo etikalaki kosalela bango bolamu ata moko te.
20 Will a man make gods for himself, whereas these are no gods?
Boni, bato bakoki solo komisalela banzambe, tango bango moko bazali banzambe te?
21 Therefore, behold, I will at this time manifest my hand to them, and will make known to them my power; and they shall know that my name is the Lord.
Yango wana, nakolakisa bango, nakolakisa bango nguya mpe makasi na ngai; bongo bakoyeba penza ete Kombo na Ngai ezali Yawe. »
