Jeremias 42
1 THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS from the Lord in the days of Joakim, king of Juda, saying,
Bongo, bakonzi nyonso ya basoda mpe Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea; Yezania, mwana mobali Oshaya, mpe bato nyonso, kobanda na ye oyo aleki moke kino na ye oyo aleki monene, bapusanaki
2 Go to the house of the Archabin, and you shall bring them to the house of the Lord, into one of the courts, and give them wine to drink.
pene ya mosakoli Jeremi mpe balobaki na ye: — Tosengi na yo, tika ete libondeli na biso ekoma liboso na yo: « Sambela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo na biso bato oyo totikali; pamba te ndenge ozali komona yango, tozalaki ebele, kasi sik’oyo totikali kaka moke.
3 So I brought forth Jechonias the son of Jeremin the son of Chabasin, and his brethren, and his sons, and all the family of the Archabin;
Bondela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo ete ayebisa biso esika nini tosengeli kokende mpe makambo nini tosengeli kosala. »
4 and I brought them into the house of the Lord, into the chamber of the sons of Joanan, the son of Ananias, the son of Godolias, a man of God, who dwells near the house of the princes that are over the house of Maasaeas the son of Selom, who kept the court.
Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na bango: — Nayoki bino! Nakobondela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ndenge ezali bosenga na bino; mpe nakoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo Yawe akoloba, nakobombela bino ata likambo moko te.
5 And I set before them a jar of wine, and cups, and I said, Drink you wine.
Balobaki na Jeremi: — Tika ete Yawe azala motatoli ya solo mpe ya sembo mpo na kopesa biso etumbu soki toboyi kotosa makambo nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo mokumba ya koyebisa biso.
6 But they said, We will on no account drink wine, for our father Jonadab the son of Rechab commanded us, saying, You shall on no account drink wine, [neither] you, nor your sons for ever:
Ezala esepelisi biso to te, tokotosa kaka Yawe, Nzambe na biso, oyo topesi yo mokumba ya kotuna. Na bongo, makambo nyonso ekotambola malamu mpo na biso, pamba te tokotosa Yawe, Nzambe na biso.
7 nor shall you at all build houses, nor sow any seed, nor shall you have a vineyard: for you shall dwell in tents all your days; that you may live many days upon the land, in which you sojourn.
Sima na mikolo zomi, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi;
8 And we listened to the voice of Jonadab our father, so as to drink no wine all our days, we, and our wives, and our sons, and our daughters;
mpe Jeremi abengaki Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea; bakonzi nyonso ya basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye mpe bato nyonso, kobanda na ye oyo aleki moke kino na ye oyo aleki monene.
9 and so as to build no houses to dwell in: and we have had no vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
Alobaki na bango: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi, Ye oyo epai ya nani botindaki ngai mpo na kokomisa libondeli na bino:
10 but we have lived in tents, and have listened, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
« Soki botikali kati na mokili oyo, nakobikisa bino mpe nakobebisa bino te; nakolona bino mpe nakopikola bino te, pamba te etumbu ya pasi oyo natindeli bino esali Ngai pasi na motema.
11 And it came to pass, when Nabuchodonosor came up against the land, that we said we would come in; and we entered into Jerusalem, for fear of the host of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the host of the Assyrians: and we lived there.
Bobanga lisusu te mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo bozali kobanga lelo; bobanga ye te, » elobi Yawe, « pamba te nazali elongo na bino mpo na kobikisa bino mpe mpo na kokangola bino na maboko na ye.
12 And the word of the Lord came to me, saying,
Nakotalisa bino ngolu mpo ete ayokela bino mawa mpe azongisa bino na mokili na bino. »
13 Thus says the Lord, Go, and say to the men of Juda, and to them that dwell in Jerusalem, Will you not receive correction to listen to my words?
Nzokande, soki bolobi: « Tokovanda na biso kati na mokili oyo te, » soki botosi te Yawe, Nzambe na bino,
14 The sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the word which he commanded his children, that they should drink no wine; and they have not drunk [it]: but I spoke to you early, and you listened not.
mpe soki bolobi: « Te! Tokokende nde kovanda na Ejipito epai wapi tokomona lisusu bitumba te, tokoyoka lisusu lolaka ya kelelo te mpe tokokufa lisusu nzala te; »
15 And I sent to you my servants the prophets, saying, Turn you every one from his evil way, and amend your practices, and go not after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell upon the land which I gave to you and to your fathers: but you inclined not your ears, and listened not.
wana bino batikali ya Yuda, boyoka malamu Liloba na Yawe: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Soki botingami kaka kokende na Ejipito mpe soki bokeyi kovanda kuna,
16 But the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have kept the command of their father; but this people has not listened to me.
mopanga oyo bozali kobanga ekokweyela bino kuna, na Ejipito; nzala oyo bozali kobanga ekolanda bino kuna, na Ejipito, mpe ezali kuna nde bokokufa.
17 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, I [will] bring upon Juda and upon the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the evils which I pronounced against them.
Solo, bato nyonso oyo bakotingama kokende kaka kovanda na Ejipito bakokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka; moko te kati na bango akotikala na bomoi mpe akobika na pasi oyo nakotindela bango. ›
18 Therefore thus says the Lord; Since the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have listened to the command of their father, to do as their father commanded them:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Ndenge kanda mpe kotomboka na Ngai epelelaki bavandi ya Yelusalemi, ndenge wana mpe nakopelisela bino kanda na Ngai tango bokokende na Ejipito. Bokokoma ndakisa mpo na koloba maloba ya bosoloka, eloko ya koyoka somo, eloko ya lisuma mpe ya kotiola; mpe bokotikala komona lisusu esika oyo te. ›
19 there shall never be lacking a man of the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab to stand before my face while the earth remains.
Oh bino batikali ya Yuda, Yawe azali koloba na bino: ‹ Bokende na Ejipito te! › Bososola malamu likambo oyo: ngai nazali nde kokebisa bino lelo
ete bozali kosala libunga monene tango bozali kotinda ngai epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na maloba oyo: ‹ Bondela mpo na biso Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe yebisa biso makambo nyonso oyo Yawe akoloba; tokosalela yango. ›
Na mokolo kaka ya lelo, nayebisi bino yango, kasi boboyi lisusu kotosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na nyonso oyo atindi ngai koyebisa bino.
Boye, boyeba sik’oyo malamu likambo oyo: bokokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka na esika oyo bolingi kokende mpo na kovanda. »
