< Jeremias 7 >
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
2 Hear you the word of the Lord, all Judea.
« Telema na ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe tatola maloba oyo: ‹ Boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bokotaka na bikuke oyo mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
3 Thus says the Lord God of Israel, Correct your ways and your devices, and I will cause you to dwell in this place.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bobongola bizaleli mpe misala na bino, mpe Ngai nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo.
4 Trust not in yourselves with lying words, for they shall not profit you at all, saying, It is the temple of the Lord, the temple of the Lord.
Botia motema te na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali kolobama: ‘Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe! Yawe azali awa.’
5 For if you thoroughly correct your ways and your practices, and do indeed execute judgement between a man and his neighbour;
Soki solo bobongoli bizaleli mpe misala na bino mpe bokomi kokata bino na bino makambo na bosembo;
6 and oppress not the stranger, and the orphan, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, and go not after strange gods to your hurt:
soki botiki konyokola bapaya, bana bitike to basi bakufisa mibali, mpe botiki kosopa makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te, soki botiki kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo na nzela na yango bomibendelaka pasi,
7 then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land which I gave to your fathers of old and for ever.
nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo, kati na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bakoko na bino wuta kala mpe mpo na libela.
8 But whereas you have trusted in lying words, whereby you shall not be profited;
Kasi botala ndenge bozali kotia motema na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali ata na litomba moko te.
9 and you murder, and commit adultery, and steal, and swear falsely, and burn incense to Baal, and are gone after strange gods whom you know not,
Bozali koyiba, koboma bato, kosala ekobo, kolapa bandayi ya lokuta, kotumba malasi ya ansa mpo na Bala mpe kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo boyebaki te;
10 so that it is evil with you; yet have you come, and stood before me in the house, whereon my name is called, and you have said, We have refrained from doing all these abominations.
bongo bozali koya liboso na Ngai kati na Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai, mpe bozali koloba: ‘Tobiki na biso!’ Bobiki na bino solo mpo na kosala makambo oyo nyonso ya nkele?
11 Is my house, whereon my name is called, a den of robbers in your eyes? And, behold, I have seen [it], says the Lord.
Boni, bokomisi Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai ekimelo ya miyibi? Ngai nazali komona ete bozali kozwa yango bongo, elobi Yawe.
12 For go you to my place with is in Selo, where I caused my name to dwell before, and see what I did to it because of the wickedness of my people Israel.
Eleki malamu bokende nanu na Silo epai wapi natiaki liboso Esika na Ngai ya bule mpe botala makambo oyo nasalaki kuna mpo na mabe ya bana ya Isalaele.
13 And now, because you have done all these deeds, and I spoke to you, but you listened not to me; and I called you, but you answered not;
Lokola nazalaki kokebisa bino mbala na mbala tango bozalaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso, elobi Yawe, kasi botikalaki koyokela Ngai te; lokola nabengaki bino, kasi boyanolaki Ngai te,
14 therefore I also will do to the house whereon my name is called, wherein you trust, and to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I did to Selo.
makambo oyo nasalaki na Silo, nakosala yango mpe sik’oyo na Ndako na Ngai, na Tempelo oyo bozali kotiela motema, esika oyo napesaki bino elongo na batata na bino.
15 And I will cast you out of my sight, as I cast away your brethren, all the seed of Ephraim.
Nakobwaka bino mosika na Ngai ndenge nabwakaki bandeko na bino nyonso ya Efrayimi. ›
16 Therefore pray not you for this people, and intercede not for them to be pitied, yes, pray not, and approach me not for them: for I will not listen [to you].
Bongo yo Jeremi, komeka kobondela mpo na bato oyo te, kolobela Ngai na tina na bango ata moke te, komeka kutu te kosengela bango eloko: kotungisa Ngai te, pamba te nakotikala koyokela yo te.
17 Seest you not what they do in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Boni, ozali komona te makambo oyo bazali kosala kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?
18 Their children gather wood, and their fathers kindle a fire, and their women knead dough, to make cakes to the host of heaven; and they have poured out drink-offerings to strange gods, that they might provoke me to anger.
Bana bazali kolokota bakoni, batata bazali kopelisa moto, mpe basi bazali kosangisa farine mpo na kosala mapa mpo na Ishitari; bazali kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya banzambe mosusu, bongo ezali kopesa Ngai kanda.
19 Do they provoke me to anger? says the Lord: do they not [provoke] themselves, that their faces may be ashamed?
Boni, bakanisi ete bazali kosala Ngai mabe, etuni Yawe? Te! Bazali nde komisala bango moko mabe, mpo na soni na bango moko.
20 Therefore thus says the Lord; Behold, my anger and wrath shall be poured out upon this place, and upon the men, and upon the cattle, and upon every tree of their field, and upon the fruits of the land; and it shall burn, and not be quenched.
‹ Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakopelisa kanda na Ngai ya makasi na esika oyo, likolo ya bato, ya banyama, ya banzete ya zamba mpe ya mbuma ya mabele: kanda yango ekopela lokola moto, bongo ekokufa te.
21 Thus says the Lord, Gather your whole burnt offerings with your meat-offerings, and eat flesh.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bokoba kaka na makambo oyo bozali kosala, bobakisa mbeka na bino ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu, mpe bolia misuni yango bino moko!
22 For I spoke not to your fathers, and commanded them not in the day wherein I brought them up out of the land of Egypt, concerning whole burnt offerings and sacrifice:
Pamba te, tango nabimisaki bakoko na bino na Ejipito, nalobaki na bango likambo moko te na oyo etali mbeka ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu.
23 but I commanded them this thing, saying, Hear you my voice, and I will be to you a God, and you shall be to me a people: and walk you in all my ways which I shall command you, that it may be well with you.
Nzokande, napesaki bango kaka mobeko oyo: Botosa Ngai, bongo Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bino mpe bino bokozala bato na Ngai; botambola na nzela nyonso oyo nakolakisa bino mpo ete bozala bato ya esengo.
24 But they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed, but they walked in the imaginations of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward;
Kasi batiaki matoyi te mpo na koyoka Ngai; balandaki kaka makanisi mabe ya mitema na bango. Boye, na esika ete babonga, babebaki lisusu koleka.
25 from the day that their fathers went forth out of the land of Egypt, even until this day. And I sent to you all my servants, the prophets, by day and early in the morning: yes, I sent [them],
Wuta tango batata na bino babimaki na Ejipito kino na mokolo ya lelo, natindelaka bino basali na Ngai, basakoli, tango nyonso mpe mikolo nyonso.
26 but they listened not to me, and their ear gave no heed; and they made their neck harder than their fathers.
Kasi bayokaki Ngai te mpe bapesaki Ngai matoyi na bango te; bazalaki kaka mito makasi mpe basalaki lisusu mabe koleka bakoko na bango. ›
27 Therefore you shall speak this word to them;
Ata oyebisi bango makambo oyo nyonso, bakotikala koyoka yo te; ata mpe obengi bango, bakoyanola te.
28 This is the nation which has not listened to the voice of the Lord, nor received correction: truth has failed from their mouth.
Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala ekolo oyo eyokaka te maloba ya Yawe, Nzambe na yango, mpe eyokaka pamela te; solo ezali lisusu te na minoko na bango mpe elimwe penza na bibebu na bango.
29 Cut off your hair, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on your lips; for the Lord has reprobated and rejected the generation that does these things.
Kata suki na yo ya Naziri mpe bwaka yango, yemba nzembo ya mawa na likolo ya bangomba ekawuka, pamba te Yawe abwaki mpe asundoli bato oyo bazali na se ya kanda na Ye.
30 For the children of Juda have wrought evil before me, says the Lord; they have set their abominations in the house on which my name is called, to defile it.
Bato ya Yuda basali mabe na miso na Ngai, elobi Yawe, batie banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya mbindo kati na Ndako na Ngai mpe bakomisi Ndako na Ngai mbindo.
31 And they have built the altar of Taphes, which is in the valley of the son of Ennom, to burn their sons and their daughters with fire; which I did not command them [to do], neither did I design it in my heart.
Batongi bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, ya Tofeti, kati na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, mpo ete batumba bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi mpo na kobonza bango lokola mbeka: nzokande wana ezali likambo oyo Ngai natindaki bango te mpe natikalaki ata kokanisa yango te.
32 Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when they shall no more say, The altar of Taphes, and the valley of the son of Ennom, but, The valley of the slain; and they shall bury in Taphes, for lack of room.
Yango wana, bosala keba, elobi Yawe: na mikolo ekoya, bato bakobenga lisusu te esika oyo Tofeti to Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, kasi bakobenga yango lubwaku oyo babomelaka bato, pamba te bakokunda bato na Tofeti kino tango esika ekotikala lisusu te.
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall be for food to the birds of the sky, and to the wild beasts of the earth; and there shall be none to drive [them] away.
Bongo bibembe ya bato oyo ekokoma bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba; mpe moto moko te akobengana yango.
34 And I will destroy out of the cities of Juda, and the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of them that make merry, and the voice of them that rejoice, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride; for the whole land shall become a desolation.
Kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, nakosilisa koganga ya esengo mpe ya kosepela, mongongo ya mobali ya libala mpe ya mwasi ya libala, pamba te mokili ekobeba.
