Jeremiah 17
1 The sin of Judah is written with a style of iron, with the point of a diamond, engraven upon the tablet of their heart, and upon the horns of your altars;
« Masumu ya Yuda ezali lokola makomi oyo bakoma na ekomeli ya ebende oyo ezali na songe ya diama; bakoma yango na bitando ya mitema na bango mpe na maseke ya bitumbelo na bango.
2 whilst their children remember their altars and their Asherahs, by the green trees, upon the high hills.
Ndenge bakanisaka bana na bango ya mibali, ndenge wana mpe bakanisaka bitumbelo na bango mpe makonzi ya Ashera, nzambe mwasi, pembeni ya banzete ya mibesu na likolo ya bangomba.
3 My mountain in the field, thy substance, all thy treasures will I give for a spoil, — thy high places, because of sin throughout thy borders.
Oh ngomba na Ngai kati na mokili, nakokaba lokola bomengo ya bitumba: biloko na yo, bozwi na yo nyonso mpe bisambelo na yo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na masumu oyo osalaki kati na mokili na yo.
4 And of thyself thou shalt let go thine inheritance which I gave thee; and I will cause thee to serve thine enemies in a land that thou knowest not; for ye have kindled a fire in mine anger, — it shall burn for ever.
Likolo ya mabe na yo, okobungisa libula oyo napesaki yo, nakokomisa yo mowumbu ya banguna na yo kati na mokili oyo oyebi te; pamba te opelisi kanda na Ngai, mpe ekopela mpo na libela. »
5 Thus saith Jehovah: Cursed is the man that confideth in man, and maketh flesh his arm, and whose heart departeth from Jehovah.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tika ete moto oyo atiaka elikya na moto, oyo ayekamelaka eloko ya pete mpe atalelaka Yawe te, alakelama mabe!
6 And he shall be like the heath in the desert, and shall not see when good cometh; but he shall inhabit the parched places in the wilderness, a salt land and not inhabited.
Akozala lokola mwa nzete ekawuka kati na esobe; akomona bolamu te tango ekoya, akovanda na bisika ya kokawuka ya esobe, na mokili ya mungwa epai wapi bato bazalaka te.
7 Blessed is the man that confideth in Jehovah, and whose confidence Jehovah is.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo atiaka elikya na Yawe mpe atalelaka Ye apambolama!
8 For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, and that spreadeth out its roots by the stream, and he shall not see when heat cometh, but his leaf shall be green; and in the year of drought he shall not be careful, neither shall he cease to yield fruit.
Akozala lokola nzete oyo balona pembeni ya mayi, oyo epanzaka misisa na yango kino na mayi: ezalaka na somo ya moyi makasi te; makasa na yango ezalaka kaka mibesu tango nyonso. Ezalaka na somo ya koya ya mobu ya bokawuki te mpe ebotaka mbuma tango nyonso. »
9 The heart is deceitful above all things, and incurable; who can know it?
Motema eleki biloko nyonso na lokuta mpe ekoki kobika te; nani akoki koyeba yango?
10 I Jehovah search the heart, I try the reins, even to give each one according to his ways, according to the fruit of his doings.
« Ngai Yawe, nayebi motema mpe nasosolaka malamu makanisi na yango, mpo na kofuta moto na moto kolanda etamboli mpe misala na ye. »
11 [As] the partridge sitteth on [eggs] it hath not laid, [so] is he that getteth riches and not by right: in the midst of his days shall he leave them, and at his end shall be a fool.
Moto oyo azwaka bomengo na nzela ya sembo te azali lokola ndeke oyo evandeli maki ya ndeke mosusu. Boye, bomengo yango ekokima na kati-kati ya bomoi na ye mpe ekomonisa bozoba na ye na suka ya bomoi na ye.
12 A throne of glory, [set] on high from the beginning, is the place of our sanctuary.
Kiti ya Bokonzi ya nkembo, oyo enetolama wuta na ebandeli ezali nde Esika na biso ya bule.
13 Thou hope of Israel, Jehovah! all that forsake thee shall be ashamed. They that depart from me shall be written in the earth; because they have forsaken Jehovah, the fountain of living waters.
Oh Yawe, Elikya ya Isalaele, bato nyonso oyo basundolaka Yo bakufaka soni, bato oyo bapesaka yo mokongo bakufaka, pamba te basundoli Yawe, Etima ya mayi na bomoi.
14 Heal me, Jehovah, and I shall be healed; save me, and I shall be saved: for thou art my praise.
Oh Yawe, bikisa ngai mpe nakobika; Oh Yawe, kangola ngai mpe nakokangolama, mpo ete nakumisaka nde Yo!
15 Behold, these say unto me, Where is the word of Jehovah? let it then come!
Tala, bato oyo bazali koloba na ngai: « Wapi Liloba na Yawe? Tika ete ekokisama sik’oyo! »
16 But as for me, I have not hastened from being a shepherd in following thee, neither have I desired the fatal day, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips was before thy face.
Nzokande, naboyaki te kozala mobateli bibwele oyo alandaka nzela na Yo. Oyebi malamu ete nazalaki na posa ya komona mokolo ya pasi te. Maloba oyo ebimaka na monoko na ngai ebimaka nde liboso na Yo.
17 Be not a terror unto me: thou art my refuge in the day of evil.
Kobangisa ngai te, pamba te ozali Ekimelo na ngai na tango ya pasi!
18 Let them be ashamed that persecute me, but let not me be ashamed; let them be dismayed, but let not me be dismayed; bring upon them the day of evil, and break them with a double breaking.
Tika ete banyokoli na ngai bayokisama soni, kasi batela ngai ete nayokisama soni te! Tika ete bango balenga na somo, kasi ngai nalenga na somo te. Tindela bango mokolo ya pasi, bebisa bango malamu mbala mibale.
19 Thus hath Jehovah said unto me: Go and stand in the gate of the children of the people, by which the kings of Judah come in, and by which they go out, and in all the gates of Jerusalem;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kende kotelema na ekuke ya bato, na ekuke oyo bakonzi ya Yuda bakotelaka mpe babimelaka. Kende mpe lisusu kotelema na bikuke nyonso ya Yelusalemi.
20 and say unto them, Hear the word of Jehovah, ye kings of Judah, and all Judah, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, that enter in by these gates;
Loba na bango: ‹ Oh bino bakonzi mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda elongo na bino nyonso bavandi ya Yelusalemi, bino oyo bokotelaka na bikuke oyo, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
21 thus saith Jehovah: Take heed to your souls, and bear no burden on the sabbath day, and bring nothing in through the gates of Jerusalem;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bosala keba ete moko te kati na bino amema mikumba na mokolo ya Saba to alekisa yango na bikuke ya Yelusalemi;
22 and carry forth no burden out of your houses on the sabbath day, neither do any work; but hallow ye the sabbath day, as I commanded your fathers,
moko te kati na bino abimisa mokumba na ndako na ye to asala mosala songolo na mokolo ya Saba. Kasi bozwa mokolo yango lokola mokolo ya bule ndenge natindaki bakoko na bino.
23 but they hearkened not, neither inclined their ear, but hardened their neck, that they might not hear nor receive instruction.
Nzokande, baboyaki koyoka, bayeisaki mito na bango makasi mpo na koboya kaka koyoka mpe kolanda mitindo na Ngai.
24 And it shall come to pass, if ye diligently hearken unto me, saith Jehovah, to bring in no burden through the gates of this city on the sabbath day, and to hallow the sabbath day, to do no work therein;
Kasi soki penza boyoki Ngai, elobi Yawe, soki bomemi mikumba te, soki bolekisi te mikumba na bikuke ya engumba oyo mpe soki bobulisi mokolo ya Saba, soki bosali ata mosala moko te na mokolo wana ya Saba,
25 then shall there enter in, through the gates of this city, kings and princes sitting upon the throne of David, riding in chariots and on horses, they and their princes, the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem: and this city shall be inhabited for ever.
bakonzi oyo bavandaka na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi bakokotela na bikuke ya engumba oyo elongo na bakalaka na bango; bongo bango elongo na bakalaka na bango bakoya na likolo ya bashar mpe mpunda elongo na bato ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi; bongo, bato bakovanda libela na libela na engumba oyo.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Judah, and from the places around Jerusalem, and from the land of Benjamin, and from the lowland, and from the hill-country, and from the south, bringing burnt-offerings, and sacrifices, and oblations, and incense, and bringing thanksgiving unto the house of Jehovah.
Bato bakowuta na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na mboka oyo ezali pene ya Yelusalemi, na etuka ya Benjame mpe na ngambo ya weste ya bangomba mikuse, na etuka ya bangomba mpe ya Negevi; mpo na koya kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe bambeka ya kotumba, bambeka mosusu, makabo ya bambuma mpe malasi ya ansa, mpo na kobonza makabo ya kozongisa matondi, kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
27 But if ye will not hearken unto me, to hallow the sabbath day and not to bear a burden and enter in through the gates of Jerusalem on the sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall devour the palaces of Jerusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Kasi soki botosi Ngai te mpe bobulisi te mokolo ya Saba, bongo bomemi mpe bolekisi mikumba na bino na bikuke ya Yelusalemi na mokolo ya Saba, nakopelisa moto oyo ekufaka te na bikuke ya Yelusalemi mpe ekozikisa bandako na yango nyonso oyo batonga makasi. › »
