< Jeremias 29 >
1 THUS SAITH THE LORD AGAINST THE PHILISTINES;
Tala makomi ya mokanda oyo mosakoli Jeremi atindaki, wuta na Yelusalemi, epai ya bakambi oyo batikalaki kati na bato oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, epai ya Banganga-Nzambe, epai ya basakoli mpe epai ya bato nyonso oyo Nabukodonozori amemaki na bowumbu, na Babiloni wuta na Yelusalemi.
2 Behold, waters come up from the north, and shall become a sweeping torrent, and it shall sweep away the land, and its fulness; the city, and them that dwell in it: and men shall cry and all that dwell in the land shall howl,
Mokanda yango etindamaki sima na bato oyo kokende na bawumbu longwa na Yelusalemi: mokonzi Yekonia, mama ya mokonzi, bakalaka na ye ya lokumu, bakambi ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi, bato oyo balambaka bibende na moto mpe bato ya misala ya maboko.
3 at the sound of his rushing, at [the sound of] his hoofs, and at the rattling of his chariots, at the noise of his wheels: the fathers turned not to their children because of the weakness of their hands,
Apesaki mokanda yango na maboko ya Eleasa, mwana mobali ya Shafani; mpe na maboko ya Gemaria, mwana mobali ya Ilikia. Ezali bango nde Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, atindaki na Babiloni epai ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni. Mokanda yango elobaki boye:
4 in the day that is coming to destroy all the Philistines: and I will utterly destroy Tyre and Sidon and all the rest of their allies: for the Lord will destroy the remaining [inhabitants] of the islands.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi epai ya bato nyonso oyo namemaki na bowumbu, na Babiloni wuta na Yelusalemi:
5 Baldness is come upon Gaza; Ascalon is cast away, and the remnant of the Enakim.
« Botonga bandako mpe bovanda kuna; bolona banzete mpe bolia mbuma na yango;
6 How long will you strike, O sword of the Lord? how long will it be ere you are quiet? return into your sheath, rest, and be removed.
bobalana, bobota bana mibali mpe bana basi, bolukela bana na bino ya mibali basi mpe bobalisa bana na bino ya basi, mpo ete bango mpe babota bana mibali mpe bana basi. Bobotana kuna mpe bokoma ebele, mpe botika te ete motango na bino ekita.
7 How shall it be quiet, whereas the Lord has given it a commission against Ascalon, and against the regions on the sea-coast, to awake against the remaining [countries]! CONCERNING IDUMEA, thus says the Lord; There is no longer wisdom in Thaeman, counsel has perished from the wise ones, their wisdom is gone,
Boluka kimia mpe bolamu ya engumba epai wapi namemaki bino na bowumbu; bobondela Yawe mpo na yango, pamba te soki yango ebongi, bino mpe bokozala malamu. »
8 their place has been deceived. Dig deep for a dwelling, you that inhabit Daedam, for he has wrought grievously: I brought trouble upon him in the time at which I visited him.
Solo, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Bomitika te ete basakoli mpe bato ya soloka oyo bazali kati na bino bakosa bino: bondimela te bato oyo bazali kolimbolela bino bandoto.
9 For grape gatherers are come, who shall not leave you a remnant; as thieves by night, they shall lay their hand upon [your possessions].
Pamba te bazali nde kosakola makambo ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai; natindi bango te, » elobi Yawe.
10 For I have stripped Esau, I have uncovered their secret places; they shall have no power to hide themselves, they have perished [each] by the hand of his brother, my neighbour, and it is impossible
Kasi tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tango mibu tuku sambo ekokoka mpo na Babiloni, nakoya epai na bino mpe nakokokisa elaka na Ngai ya ngolu mpo na kozongisa bino na esika oyo.
11 for your fatherless one to be left to live, but I shall live, and the widows trust in me.
Pamba te nayebi malamu mabongisi oyo nasalaki mpo na bino, » elobi Yawe, « mabongisi ya kosalela bino bolamu, kasi ya konyokola bino te, mabongisi mpo na kopesa bino elikya mpe bomoi malamu.
12 For thus says the Lord; They who were not appointed to drink the cup have drunk [it]; and you shall by no means be cleared:
Boye bokobelela Ngai, bokoya epai na Ngai mpe bokobondela Ngai; mpe Ngai nakoyoka bino.
13 for by myself I have sworn, says the Lord, that you shall be in the midst of her an impassable [land], and a reproach, and a curse; and all her cities shall be desert for ever.
Bokoluka Ngai mpe bokomona Ngai, soki boluki Ngai na motema na bino mobimba.
14 I have heard a report from the Lord, and he has sent messengers to the nations, [saying, ]Assemble yourselves, and come against her; rise you up to war.
Nakomimonisa epai na bino, » elobi Yawe, « mpe nakozongisa bino longwa na bowumbu. Nakosangisa bino longwa na bikolo nyonso mpe na bisika nyonso epai wapi nabenganaki bino, » elobi Yawe, « nakozongisa bino na esika oyo namemelaki bino na bowumbu. »
15 I have made you small amongst the nations, utterly contemptible amongst men.
Solo, bokoki koloba: « Yawe abimisi basakoli kati na biso awa na Babiloni! »
16 Your insolence has risen up against you, the fierceness of your heart has burst the holes of the rocks, it has seized upon the strength of a lofty hill; for as an eagle he set his nest on high: thence will I bring you down.
Kasi tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na mokonzi oyo avandi na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi, na tina na bavandi nyonso ya engumba oyo, mpe na tina na bandeko na bino oyo bakendeki te na bowumbu elongo na bino;
17 And Idumea shall be a desert: every one that passes by shall hiss at it.
tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Nakotindela bango mopanga, nzala makasi mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, mpe nakokomisa bango lokola mbuma ya figi oyo epola, oyo moto ata moko te akokoka kolia.
18 As Sodom was overthrown and Gomorrha and they that sojourned in her, says the Lord Almighty, no man shall dwell there, nor shall any son of man inhabit there.
Nakolanda bango na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka; mpe na miso ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele, nakokomisa bango eloko ya koyoka somo, ndakisa mpo na koloba maloba ya bosoloka, eloko ya lisuma, eloko ya kobanga mpe ya kotiola kati na bikolo nyonso epai wapi nakobengana bango.
19 Behold, he shall come up as a lion out of the midst of Jordan to the place of Aetham: for I will speedily drive them from it, and do you set the young men against her: for who is like me? and who will withstand me? and who [is] this shepherd, who shall confront me?
Pamba te bayokaki maloba na Ngai te, » elobi Yawe, « maloba oyo nazalaki kotindela bango tango na tango na nzela ya basali na Ngai, basakoli. Mpe bino bato oyo bokendeki na bowumbu, bino mpe boyokaki te, » elobi Yawe.
20 Therefore hear you the counsel of the Lord, which he has framed against Idumea; and his device, which he has devised against the inhabitants of Thaeman: surely the least of the sheep shall be swept off; surely their dwelling shall be made desolate for them.
Yango wana, boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bawumbu nyonso oyo natindaki na Babiloni longwa na Yelusalemi.
21 For at the sound of their fall the earth was scared, and the cry of the sea was not heard.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na Akabi, mwana mobali ya Kolaya, mpe na tina na Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, oyo bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta epai na bino, na Kombo na Ngai: « Nakokaba bango na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe akoboma bango na miso na bino.
22 Behold, he shall look [upon her] as an eagle, and spread forth [his] wings over her strongholds; and the heart of the mighty men of Idumea shall be in that day as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
Likolo na bango, bawumbu nyonso oyo bawutaki na Yuda, bongo bazali na Babiloni, bakosalela elakeli mabe oyo: ‹ Tika ete Yawe asala bino ndenge asalaki Sedesiasi mpe Akabi, oyo mokonzi ya Babiloni atumbaki na moto! ›
Pamba te basalaki kati na Isalaele ekobo elongo na basi ya baninga na bango, bapaya, mpe balobaki lokuta na Kombo na Ngai, nzokande Ngai natindaki bango te kosala bongo. Nayebi yango malamu, mpe Ngai moko nazali Motatoli na yango, » elobi Yawe.
Yebisa Shemaya, moto ya Nekelami, maloba oyo:
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Otindaki mikanda na kombo na yo moko epai ya bato nyonso ya Yelusalemi, epai ya Nganga-Nzambe Sofoni, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, mpe epai ya Banganga-Nzambe. Olobaki na Sofoni:
‹ Yawe aponaki yo Nganga-Nzambe na esika ya Yeoyada mpo ete obatela Tempelo ya Yawe. Osengelaki kobwaka na boloko mpe kokanga bibende na makolo, bato pamba oyo bazali komimona lokola basakoli.
Boye, mpo na nini opamelaki te mosakoli Jeremi, moto ya Anatoti, oyo azali komimona lokola mosakoli kati na bino?
Atindelaki biso sango oyo kati na Babiloni: Bowumbu na bino ekowumela tango molayi. Yango wana, botonga bandako mpe bovanda kuna, bolona bilanga mpe bolia mbuma na yango. › »
Nzokande, Nganga-Nzambe Sofoni atangisaki mosakoli Jeremi mokanda yango.
Boye, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
« Tinda sango oyo epai ya bawumbu nyonso: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na Shemaya, moto ya Nekelami: Lokola Shemaya asakolaki makambo ya lokuta epai na bino, nzokande natindaki ye te, mpe amemi bino na kotia motema na lokuta,
tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Solo, nakopesa Shemaya, moto ya Nekelami, etumbu elongo na bakitani na ye. Kati na bato na ye, moko te akotikala, mpe akotikala komona te bolamu oyo nakosala epai ya bato na Ngai, elobi Yawe, pamba te atindiki bato na Ngai kotombokela Ngai. › »
