Jeremiah 19
1 Thus says the Lord: “Go, and take a potter’s earthen bottle from the elders of the people and from the elders of the priests.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: — Kende kosomba mbeki epai ya mosali mbeki. Kende nzela moko na bakambi ya bato mpe bakambi ya Banganga-Nzambe;
2 And go out to the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is near the entrance to the earthen gate, and there you shall proclaim the words that I will speak to you.
bimela na nzela ya Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, na liboso ya ekuke ya ndako epai wapi basalaka mbeki; mpe kuna, okosakola maloba oyo nakoyebisa yo.
3 And you shall say: Listen to the word of the Lord, O kings of Judah, and you inhabitants of Jerusalem. Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead an affliction over this place, so much so that it will ring in the ears of all who hear about it.
Loba: « Bino bakonzi ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi, boyoka Liloba na Yawe! Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Boyoka! Nakoyeisa pasi makasi na esika oyo; mpe moto nyonso oyo akoyoka sango na yango, akozala na somo.
4 For they have abandoned me, and they have made this place foreign, and they have offered libations in it to foreign gods, whom neither they, nor their fathers, nor the kings of Judah have known. And they have filled this place with the blood of the innocent.
Lokola bato oyo basundoli Ngai mpe bakomisi esika oyo esika ya banzambe ya bapaya, lokola bakomi kotumba mbeka na esika oyo mpo na banzambe oyo; ezala bango, batata na bango to bakonzi ya Yuda, batikalaki koyeba te, batondisi esika oyo na makila ya bato oyo basali mabe ata moko te,
5 And they have built the exalted places of Baal, in order to burn their children with fire as a holocaust to Baal, something that I did not instruct or speak of, nor did it enter into my heart.
batongi bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na Bala, mpo na kotumba bana na bango na moto lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai ya Bala; nzokande Ngai natikala kotinda bango likambo ya boye te to mpe likambo ya boye etikala ata komata na makanisi na Ngai te;
6 Because of this, behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when this place will no longer be called Topheth, or the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the Valley of Slaughter.
yango wana, na mikolo ekoya, elobi Yawe, bakobenga lisusu te esika oyo: ‹ Tofeti to Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, › kasi bakokoma kobenga yango: ‹ Lubwaku oyo babomelaka bato. ›
7 And I will scatter the counsel of Judah and of Jerusalem in this place. And I will overthrow them with the sword, in the sight of their enemies and by the hand of those who seek their lives. And I will give their carcasses to the birds of the air and to the beasts of the land as food.
Kaka na esika oyo, nakobebisa mabongisi ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi; nakosala ete bakweya na mopanga ya banguna na bango mpe na maboko ya bato oyo bazali na posa ya kosala bango mabe. Nakokomisa bibembe na bango bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba.
8 And I will set this city amid stupor and hissing. Everyone who passes by it will be stupefied, and they will hiss over all its wounds.
Nakobebisa engumba oyo mpe nakokomisa yango eloko ya kotiola. Bato nyonso oyo bakolekela awa bakokamwa mpe bakoyoka somo wana bakomona kobeba na yango nyonso.
9 And I will feed them with the flesh of their sons and with the flesh of their daughters. And each one of them will eat the flesh of his friend during the blockade and the embargo by which their enemies, and those who seek their lives, will enclose them.
Nakoleisa bango misuni ya bana na bango ya basi mpe ya mibali, bakoliana bango na bango tango bato oyo bazali na posa ya kosala bango mabe bakozingela bango.
10 And you shall crush the bottle in the sight of the men who will go with you.
Boye, buka mbeki na miso ya bato oyo bozali kokende na bango nzela moko
11 And you shall say to them: Thus says the Lord of hosts: In the same way, I will crush this people and this city, just as the potter’s vessel was crushed and cannot be made whole again. And they will be buried at Topheth, because there will be no other place for burial.
mpe loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Nakobebisa ekolo mpe engumba oyo, kaka ndenge bapanzaka mbeki oyo mosali mbeki asali, mpe bakokoka lisusu kobongisa yango te. Bakokunda bibembe na Tofeti kino esika ya kokunda ekotikala lisusu te.
12 So will I do to this place and to its inhabitants, says the Lord. And I will make this city to be like Topheth.
Yango ezali makambo oyo nakosala na esika oyo mpe epai ya bavandi ya esika oyo, elobi Yawe, nakokomisa engumba oyo lokola Tofeti.
13 And the houses of Jerusalem and the houses of the kings of Judah will be unclean, just like the place of Topheth: all the houses on whose roofs they sacrificed to all the armies of heaven and poured out libations to strange gods.”
Bandako ya Yelusalemi mpe bandako ya bakonzi ya Yuda ekokoma mbindo lokola esika oyo na kombo Tofeti, bandako nyonso oyo, na likolo ya manzanza na yango, bazalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa mpo na mampinga nyonso ya likolo mpe bazalaki kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino mpo na banzambe mosusu. › »
14 Then Jeremiah arrived from Topheth, where the Lord had sent him to prophesy, and he stood in the atrium of the house of the Lord, and he said to all the people:
Jeremi azongaki wuta na Tofeti epai wapi Yawe atindaki ye mpo na kosakola, atelemaki na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe alobaki na bato nyonso:
15 “Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will lead over this community, and over all its cities, all the evils that I have spoken against it. For they have hardened their necks, so that they would not heed my words.”
— Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Boyoka! Nakoyeisa na engumba oyo mpe na mboka oyo ezali zingazinga na yango pasi nyonso oyo nasakolaki na tina na yango, pamba te batosaki Ngai te mpe bayokaki maloba na ngai te. »
