Jeremias 20
1 Now Paschor the son of Emmer, the priest, who also had been appointed chief of the house of the Lord, heard Jeremias prophesying these words.
Nganga-Nzambe Pashuri, mwana mobali ya Imeri, mokonzi ya Tempelo ya Yawe, ayokaki ndenge Jeremi azalaki kosakola.
2 And he struck him, and cast him into the dungeon which was by the gate of the upper house that was set apart, which was by the house of the Lord.
Nganga-Nzambe Pashuri abetisaki Mosakoli Jeremi fimbu mpe akangisaki ye na likonzi oyo ezalaki na ekuke ya likolo ya Benjame, ekuke oyo ememaka na Tempelo ya Yawe.
3 And Paschor brought Jeremias out of the dungeon: and Jeremias said to him, [The Lord] has not called your name Paschor, but Exile.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, tango Pashuri alongolaki ye na likonzi, Jeremi alobaki na ye: — Yawe akobenga yo lisusu Pashuri te, kasi Magori-Misabibe.
4 For thus says the Lord, Behold, I [will] give you up to captivity with all your friends: and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and your eyes shall see [it]: and I will give you and all Juda into the hands of the king of Babylon, and they shall carry them captives, and cut them in pieces with swords.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakotindela yo mpe balingami na yo nyonso makambo ya somo; okomona na miso na yo ndenge nini bakokweya na mopanga liboso ya banguna na bango. Nakokaba Yuda nyonso na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni oyo akomema bango na bowumbu, na Babiloni, to akoboma bango na mopanga.
5 And I will give all the strength of this city, and all the labours of it, and all the treasures of the king of Juda, into the hands of his enemies, and they shall bring them to Babylon.
Nakokaba bozwi nyonso ya engumba oyo na maboko ya banguna na bango: biloko nyonso ya engumba, biloko ya talo mpe bomengo nyonso ya mokonzi ya Yuda; bakokamata yango mpe bakomema yango na mokili ya Babiloni.
6 And you and all the dwellers in your house shall go into captivity: and you shall die in Babylon, and there you and all your friends shall be buried, to whom you have prophesied lies.
Mpo na yo Pashuri mpe bavandi nyonso ya ndako na yo, bokokende na bowumbu na mokili ya Babiloni. Bokokufa mpe bakokunda bino kuna, ezala yo to balingami na yo nyonso oyo bosakolaki makambo ya lokuta epai na bango. »
7 You have deceived me, O Lord, and I have been deceived: you have been strong, and has prevailed: I am become a laughing stock, I am continually mocked every day.
Eh Yawe, okosaki-kosaki ngai, mpe nakosamaki penza; olekaki ngai na makasi mpe olongaki ngai. Bazali kotiola ngai mikolo nyonso, bato nyonso bazali kaka koseka ngai.
8 For I will laugh with my bitter speech, I will call upon rebellion and misery: for the word of the Lord is become a reproach to me and a mockery all my days.
Na tango nyonso oyo nalobaka, nagangaka makasi mpo na kosakola kaka mobulu mpe kobebisama. Mokolo na mokolo, Liloba na Yawe ememelaka ngai kofingama mpe pamela ya mabe.
9 Then I said, I will by no means name the name of the Lord, and I will no more at all speak in his name. But it was a burning fire flaming in my bones, and I am utterly weakened on all sides, and can’t bear [up].
Kasi soki nalobi: « Nakotanga lisusu Kombo na Ye te, » Liloba na Ye kati na motema na ngai ekomaka lokola moto oyo ezali kopela kino na mikuwa na ngai; nalongaka te kokanga yango, nakokaka te!
10 For I have heard the reproach of many gathering round, [saying], Conspire you, and let us conspire together against him, [even] all his friends: watch his intentions, if perhaps he shall be deceived, and we shall prevail against him, and we shall be avenged on him.
Nazali koyoka bato ebele koloba na se se se: « Botala! Somo na bangambo nyonso! Bofunda ye! Tofunda ye! » Baninga na ngai nyonso bazali kozela kokweya na ngai, bazali koloba: « Tango mosusu akokosama, tokokanga ye kaka mpe tokozongisela ye mabe! »
11 But the Lord was with me as a mighty man of war: therefore they persecuted [me], but could not perceive [anything against me]; they were greatly confounded, for they perceived not their disgrace, which shall never be forgotten.
Kasi Yawe azali elongo na ngai lokola Elombe ya bitumba; boye, banyokoli na ngai bakokweya mpe mikano na bango ekokokisama te; bakotikala na soni mpe bakolonga te, bakobosana ata mokolo moko te soni na bango.
12 O Lord, that prove just [deeds], understanding the reins and hearts, let me see your vengeance upon them: for to you I have revealed my cause.
Eh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Yo oyo omonaka mitema ya bayengebene mpe oyebaka malamu makanisi ya mitema ya bato, tika ete namona Yo kozongisela bango mabe, pamba te napesi likambo na ngai na maboko na Yo!
13 Sing you to the Lord, sing praise to him: for he has rescued the soul of the poor from the hand of evil-doers.
Boyembela Yawe! Bokumisa Yawe! Pamba te abikisaka bomoi ya mobola na maboko ya bato mabe.
14 Cursed be the day wherein I was born: the day wherein my mother brought me forth, let it not be blessed.
Tika ete mokolo ya mbotama na ngai elakelama mabe! Tika ete mokolo oyo mama na ngai abotaki ngai epambolama te!
15 Cursed be the man who brought the glad tidings to my father, saying, A male child is born to you.
Tika ete alakelama mabe, moto oyo amemelaki tata na ngai sango oyo esepelisaki motema na ye: « Baboteli yo mwana, mwana mobali! »
16 Let that man rejoice as the cities which the Lord overthrew in wrath, and repented not: let him hear crying in the morning, and loud lamentation at noon;
Tika ete moto yango akoma lokola bingumba oyo Yawe abuki na mawa te! Tika ete ayoka bileli na tongo mpe makelele ya bitumba na midi.
17 because he killed me not in the womb, and my mother became not my tomb, and her womb always great with me.
Mpo na nini Nzambe abomaki ngai te kati na libumu ya mama na ngai, oyo alingaki kozala kunda na ngai, mpe libumu na ye elingaki kobomba ngai libela na libela?
18 Why is it that I came forth of the womb to see troubles and distresses, and my days are spent in shame?
Mpo na nini penza nabimaki na libumu ya mama na ngai? Ezali kaka mpo na komona pasi mpe mikakatano, mpe kosukisa bomoi na ngai na soni?
