Jeremiah 22
1 Thus saith the Lord: Go down to the house of the king of Juda, and there thou shalt speak this word,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na Jeremi: « Kende na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe tatola maloba oyo:
2 And thou shalt say: Hear the word of the Lord, O king of Juda, that sittest upon the throne of David: thou and thy servants, and thy people, who enter in by these gates.
‹ Mokonzi ya Yuda, yo oyo ovandi na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi, yoka Liloba na Yawe! Yo, bakalaka na yo mpe bato na yo: bino nyonso oyo bolekelaka na nzela ya bikuke oyo,
3 Thus saith the Lord: Execute judgement and justice, and deliver him that is oppressed out of the hand of the oppressor: and afflict not the stranger, the fatherless, nor the widow, nor oppress them unjustly: and shed not innocent blood in this place.
tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bosalela bosembo mpe bosolo; bokangola wuta na maboko ya monyokoli moto oyo bazali konyokola! Bonyokola te bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali; bosala mpe bango mabe te. Bosopa te na esika oyo, makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te.
4 For if you will do this thing indeed, then shall there enter in by the gates of this house, kings of the race of David sitting upon his throne, and riding in chariots and on horses, they and their servants, and their people.
Pamba te soki bosaleli na bokebi mibeko oyo, bakonzi oyo bakovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi bakolekela na bikuke ya ndako oyo, na likolo ya bashar mpe ya mpunda, elongo na bakalaka mpe bato na bango.
5 But if you will not hearken to these words: I swear by myself, saith the Lord, that this house shall become a desolation.
Kasi soki botosi mibeko oyo te, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai ete ndako oyo ekobebisama. › »
6 For thus saith the Lord to the house of the king of Juda: Thou art to me Galaad the head of Libanus: yet surely I will make thee a wilderness, and cities not habitable.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda: « Ata soki ozali lokola Galadi na miso na Ngai, lokola songe ya ngomba ya Libani; solo, nakokomisa yo lokola esobe, lokola engumba oyo bato bavandaka te.
7 And I will prepare against thee the destroyer and his weapons: and they shall cut down thy chosen cedars, and shall cast them headlong into the fire.
Nakotinda bato ete baya kobebisa yo, moto na moto na bibundeli na ye; bongo bakokata banzete na yo ya sedele oyo ya kitoko mpe bakobwaka yango na moto.
8 And many nations shall pass by this city: and they shall say every man to his neighbor: Why hath the Lord done so to this great city?
Bato bakowuta na bikolo ya ndenge na ndenge bakolekela na engumba oyo mpe bakotunana: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe asali makambo ya boye na engumba monene oyo? ›
9 And they shall answer: Because they have forsaken the covenant of the Lord their God, and have adored strange gods, and served them.
Mpe eyano ekozala: ‹ Ezali mpo ete babebisi boyokani oyo basalaki elongo na Yawe, Nzambe na bango, bafukamelaki mpe basalelaki banzambe ya bapaya. › »
10 Weep not for him that is dead, nor bemoan him with your tears: lament him that goeth away, for he shall return no more, nor see his native country.
Bolela te mpo na kufa ya mokonzi to bosala matanga te mpo na kufa na ye! Bolela, bolela nde makasi mpo na ye oyo akei na bowumbu, mpo ete akozonga lisusu te mpe akomona lisusu te mboka epai babota ye.
11 For thus saith the Lord to Sellum the son of Josias the king of Juda, who reigned instead of his father, who went forth out of this place: He shall return hither no more:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na Shalumi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, oyo akitanaki na Joziasi, tata na ye, lokola mokonzi ya Yuda, kasi atikaki mboka na ye: « Akozonga lisusu te.
12 But in the place, to which I have removed him, there shall he die, and he shall not see this land any more.
Akokufa na esika oyo bakomema ye na bowumbu, akomona lisusu mokili oyo te. »
13 Woe to him that buildeth up his house by injustice, and his chambers not in judgement: that will oppress his friend without cause, and will not pay him his wages.
« Mawa na moto oyo atongaka ndako na ye na nzela ya bosembo te, mpe bashambre na ye ya etaje, na nzela ya lokuta; oyo asalisaka bandeko na ye mosala ya pamba mpe afutaka bango eloko te;
14 Who saith: I will build me a wide house and large chambers: who openeth to himself windows, and maketh roofs of cedar, and painteth them with vermilion.
oyo alobaka: ‹ Nakotongisa ndako monene oyo ekozala na bashambre minene, na etaje! › Boye atiaka yango maninisa minene, mabaya ya sedele na bamir na yango ya kati mpe akopakolaka yango langi ya motane.
15 Shalt thou reign, because thou comparest thyself to the cedar? did not thy father eat and drink, and do judgment and justice, and it was then well with him?
Okanisi ete kotondisa ndako na mabaya ya sedele nde ekolendisa bokonzi na yo? Tata na yo azangaki bilei mpe masanga te, kasi atambolaki na bosembo mpe na boyengebene; boye alongaki na makambo nyonso.
16 He judged the cause of the poor and needy for his own good: was it not therefore because he knew me, saith the Lord?
Alongisaki babola mpe bato bakelela, mpe alongaki na makambo nyonso. Boni, yango te koyeba Ngai, » elobi Yawe?
17 But thy eyes and thy heart are set upon covetousness, and upon shedding innocent blood, and upon oppression, and running after evil works.
« Kasi yo, miso mpe motema na yo elukaka kaka bomengo mpo na bolamu na yo moko kaka, na nzela ya kosopa makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te, na nzela ya konyokola bato mpe na nzela ya kobotola bango biloko. »
18 Therefore thus saith the Lord concerning Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda: They shall not mourn for him, Alas, my brother, and Alas, sister: they shall not lament for him, Alas, my Lord, or, Alas, the noble one.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: « Bakosalela ye matanga te na koloba: ‹ Mawa, ndeko na ngai ya mobali! Mawa, ndeko na ngai ya mwasi! › Bakosalela ye matanga te na koloba: ‹ Mawa, nkolo na ngai! Mawa, mokonzi na ngai! ›
19 He shall be buried with the burial of an ass, rotten and cast forth without the gates of Jerusalem.
Bakokunda ye ndenge bakundaka ane, bakobenda ye mpe bakobwaka ye libanda ya bikuke ya Yelusalemi. »
20 Go up to Libanus, and cry: and lift up thy voice in Basan, and cry to them that pass by, for all thy lovers are destroyed.
« Mata na Libani mpe ganga makasi! Tika ete mongongo na yo eyokana kino na Bashani! Ganga wuta na Abarimi, pamba te baninga na yo nyonso basili kokufa!
21 I spoke to thee in thy properity: and thou saidst: I will not hear: this hath been thy way from thy youth, because thou hast not heard my voice.
Nakebisaki yo tango ozalaki na kimia kasi olobaki: ‹ Nakoyoka te! › Ezaleli na yo ezalaka kaka boye wuta bolenge na yo, otosaka na yo Ngai te!
22 The wind shall feed all thy pastors, and thy lovers shall go into captivity: and then shalt thou be confounded, and ashamed of all thy wickedness.
Mopepe ekomema bakambi na yo nyonso mpe baninga na yo bakokende na bowumbu. Okoyoka soni mpe okosambwa likolo ya mabe na yo nyonso.
23 Thou that sittest in Libanus, and makest thy nest in the cedars, how hast thou mourned when sorrows came upon thee, as the pains of a woman in labour?
Yo oyo ovandaka na Libani, yo oyo otongaki zala na yo kati na bandako ya sedele, yeba ete okolela tango pasi ekokomela yo, pasi oyo ekokani na pasi ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota!
24 As I live, saith the Lord, if Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda were a ring on my right hand, I would pluck him thence.
Na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « ata soki yo Konia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, ozalaki lokola lopete na mosapi ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali, nakolongola yo kaka.
25 And I will give thee into the hand of them that seek thy life, and into the hand of them whose face thou fearest, and into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Nakokaba yo na maboko ya bato oyo bazali na posa ya koboma yo, mpe na maboko ya bato oyo obangaka, epai ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na bato ya Babiloni.
26 And I will send thee, and thy mother that bore thee, into a strange country, in which you were not born, and there you shall die:
Nakobengana yo elongo na mama oyo abota yo na mokili mosusu epai wapi moko te kati na bino abotama, mpe ekozala kuna nde bino mibale bokokufa.
27 And they shall not return into the land, whereunto they lift up their mind to return thither.
Bokotikala kozonga lisusu te na mokili oyo bozalaka na posa makasi ya kozonga. »
28 Is this man Jechonias an earthen and a broken vessel? is he a vessel wherein there is no pleasure? why are they cast out, he and his seed, and are cast into a land which they know not?
Boni, moto oyo, Konia, azali te mbeki ya kopasuka oyo etiolama to eloko oyo ezanga tina? Mpo na nini babengana ye elongo na bana na ye mpe babwaka bango na mokili oyo bayebi te?
29 O earth, earth, earth, hear the word of the Lord.
Oh mokili na ngai, mokili na ngai, mokili na ngai! Yoka Liloba na Yawe!
30 Thus saith the Lord: Write this man barren, a man that shall not prosper in his days: for there shall not be a man of his seed that shall sit upon the throne of David, and have power any more in Juda.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Koma kombo ya moto oyo lokola moto oyo abota te, lokola moto oyo akolonga te na bomoi na ye, pamba te moko te kati na bana na ye akolonga, moko te akovanda lisusu na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi to akozala lisusu mokonzi ya Yuda. »
