Jeremiah 42
1 And all the leaders of the warriors, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and the rest of the common people, from the least even to the greatest, drew near.
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 And they said to Jeremiah the prophet: “Let our supplication fall before your sight. And pray for us to the Lord your God, on behalf of this entire remnant. For few out of many have been left behind, just as your eyes behold us.
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 And so, may the Lord your God announce to us the way that we must travel, and the word that we must accomplish.”
Bondela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo ete ayebisa biso esika nini tosengeli kokende mpe makambo nini tosengeli kosala. »
4 Then Jeremiah, the prophet, said to them: “I have listened. Behold, I will pray to the Lord your God according to your words. And whatever word he will respond to me, I will declare to you. And I will conceal nothing from you.”
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 they said to Jeremiah: “May the Lord be the witness between us of truth and fidelity, if we do not act according to whatever word the Lord your God will send by you to us.
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 Whether it is for good or for harm, we will obey the voice of the Lord our God, to whom we are sending you. So may it be well with us, when we heed the voice of the Lord our God.”
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 Then, when ten days had been completed, the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah.
Sima na mikolo zomi, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi;
8 And he called Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the leaders of warriors who were with him, and all the people, from the least even to the greatest.
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 he said to them: “Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to whom you have sent me, so that I may present your petitions in his sight:
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 If you dwell quietly in this land, I will build you up, and I will not tear you down. I will plant you, and I will not uproot you. For now I have been appeased by the harm that I have done to you.
« 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 Do not be afraid before the face of the king of Babylon, whom you have dreaded with great fear. Do not dread him, says the Lord. For I am with you, so that I may accomplish your salvation, and so that I may rescue you from his hand.
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 I will give you mercies, and I will take pity on you, and I will cause you to live in your own land.
Nakotalisa bino ngolu mpo ete ayokela bino mawa mpe azongisa bino na mokili na bino. »
13 But if you say: ‘We will not live in this land, nor will we heed the voice of the Lord our God,’
Nzokande, soki bolobi: « Tokovanda na biso kati na mokili oyo te, » soki botosi te Yawe, Nzambe na bino,
14 saying: ‘Never! Instead, we will travel to the land of Egypt, where we will not see war, and we will not hear the blast of the trumpet, and we will not endure famine. And there we shall live.’
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 Because of this, hear now the word of the Lord, O remnant of Judah: Thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: If you set your faces so as to advance into Egypt, and if you enter so that you may live there,
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 the sword which you dread will overtake you there, in the land of Egypt, and the famine, about which you are anxious, will cling to you in Egypt, and there you shall die.
mopanga oyo bozali kobanga ekokweyela bino kuna, na Ejipito; nzala oyo bozali kobanga ekolanda bino kuna, na Ejipito, mpe ezali kuna nde bokokufa.
17 And all the men, who have set their faces so that they may advance to Egypt in order to live there, will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence. None of them will remain, nor will they escape from the face of the evil that I will bring over 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 For thus says the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel: Just as my fury and my indignation has been enflamed over the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so will my indignation be enflamed over you, when you will have entered into Egypt. And so you will be an oath, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a disgrace. And you will never see this place again.
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 This is the word of the Lord concerning you, O remnant of Judah: Do not choose to enter into Egypt, for certainly you understand what I have sworn to you this day.
Oh bino batikali ya Yuda, Yawe azali koloba na bino: ‹ Bokende na Ejipito te! › Bososola malamu likambo oyo: ngai nazali nde kokebisa bino lelo
20 For you have deceived your own souls. For you have sent me to the Lord our God, saying: ‘Pray on our behalf to the Lord our God. And in accord with anything whatsoever that the Lord our God will tell you, announce this to us, and we will do it.’
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. ›
21 And I have announced it to you this day, and you have not heeded the voice of the Lord your God, concerning everything about which he has sent me to you.
Na mokolo kaka ya lelo, nayebisi bino yango, kasi boboyi lisusu kotosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na nyonso oyo atindi ngai koyebisa bino.
22 Therefore, know with certainty now, that you will die by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence, in the place which you wish to enter so that you may live there.”
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. »
