Jeremiah 23
1 Woe to the pastors, that destroy and tear the sheep of my pasture, saith the Lord.
« Mawa na babateli bibwele oyo bazali koboma mpe kobungisa bibwele na Ngai, » elobi Yawe.
2 Therefore thus saith the Lord the God of Israel to the pastors that feed my people: You have scattered my flock, and driven them away, and have not visited them: behold I will visit upon you for the evil of your doings, saith the Lord.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na babateli bibwele oyo bazali kobatela bato na Ngai: « Lokola bosili kopanza bibwele na Ngai, bobungisi bango nzela mpe bobateli bango malamu te, nakopesa bino etumbu mpo na mabe oyo bosili kosala, » elobi Yawe,
3 And I will gather together the remnant of my flock, out of all the lands into which I have cast them out: and I will make them return to their own fields, and they shall increase and be multiplied.
« Ngai moko nakosangisa ndambo ya bibwele na Ngai, oyo batikali wuta na bikolo nyonso epai wapi nabenganelaki bango; mpe nakozongisa bango na lopango na bango, esika oyo bakobotana mpe bakokoma ebele.
4 And I will set up pastors over them, and they shall feed them: they shall fear no more, and they shall not be dismayed: and none shall be wanting of their number, saith the Lord.
Nakopesa bango na maboko ya babateli mosusu ya bibwele mpo ete babatela bango malamu. Boye, bakobanga lisusu te, bakozala lisusu na somo te mpe moko te kati na bango akozanga lisusu, » elobi Yawe.
5 Behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will raise up to David a just branch: and a king shall reign, and shall be wise, and shall execute judgement and justice in the earth.
« Na mikolo oyo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakobimisa Moto ya nzete mpo na Davidi, mokonzi oyo akokamba na bwanya, oyo akosala kolanda bosembo mpe bosolo.
6 In those days shall Juda be saved, and Israel shall dwell confidently: and this is the name that they shall call him: the Lord our just one.
Na eleko ya mokonzi wana, mokili ya Yuda ekobikisama, mpe mokili ya Isalaele ekozala na kimia. Tala kombo oyo bakobengela ye: Yawe azali Bosembo na biso.
7 Therefore behold the days to come, saith the Lord, and they shall say no more: The Lord liveth, who brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt:
Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « bato bakoloba lisusu te: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe oyo abimisaki bana ya Isalaele na Ejipito; ›
8 But the Lord liveth, who hath brought out, and brought hither the seed of the house of Israel from the land of the north, and out of all the lands, to which I had cast them forth: and they shall dwell in their own land.
kasi bakoloba: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe oyo abimisaki bakitani ya Isalaele na mokili ya nor mpe na bikolo nyonso epai wapi abenganaki bango. › Bongo, bakovanda na mokili na bango moko. »
9 To the prophets: My heart is broken within me, all my bones tremble: I am become as a drunken man, and as a man full of wine, at the presence of the Lord, and at the presence of his holy words.
Na tina na basakoli: Motema na ngai ebukani kati na ngai, mikuwa na ngai nyonso ezali kolenga. Nakomi lokola moto oyo alangwe masanga, lokola moto oyo masanga ya vino ebeti ye, likolo na Yawe mpe maloba na Ye ya bule.
10 Because the land is full of adulterers, because the land hath mourned by reason of cursing, the fields of the desert are dried up: and their course is become evil, and their strength unlike.
Pamba te mokili etondi na kindumba, mokili ekomi na matanga. Likolo ya bilakeli mabe, matiti oyo bibwele eliaka na esobe ekawuki, basakoli bakomi kolanda nzela mabe mpe bakomi na molende ya kosala kaka makambo oyo esengeli te.
11 For the prophet and the priest are defiled: and in my house I have found their wickedness, saith the Lord.
« Basakoli mpe Banganga-Nzambe, basundoli Nzambe; ezala kati na Tempelo na Ngai, nazali komona misala na bango ya mabe, » elobi Yawe.
12 Therefore their way shall be as a slippery way in the dark: for they shall be driven on, and fall therein: for I will bring evils upon them, the year of their visitation, saith the Lord.
« Yango wana, nzela na bango ekokoma moselu mpe molili; bakobengana bango kino na mboka ya molili mpe kuna bakokweya. Nakotindela bango pasi, tango oyo nakopesa bango etumbu, » elobi Yawe.
13 And I have seen folly in the prophets of Samaria: they prophesied in Baal, and deceived my people Israel.
« Namoni makambo ya nkele kati na basakoli ya Samari: bazali kosakola na kombo ya nzambe Bala mpe bazali kobungisa Isalaele, bato na Ngai, nzela.
14 And I have seen the likeness of adulterers, and the way of lying in the prophets of Jerusalem: and they strengthened the hand of the wicked, that no man should return from his evil doings: that are all become unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrha.
Namoni lisusu makambo ya nkele kati na basakoli ya Yelusalemi: bazali kosala kindumba mpe kowumela na lokuta, bazali kolendisa bato oyo basalaka mabe mpo ete batika te misala na bango ya mabe. Bango nyonso bazali liboso na Ngai lokola Sodome, bato ya Yelusalemi bazali lokola bato ya Gomore. »
15 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts to the prophets: Behold I will feed them with wormwood, and I will give them gall to drink: for from the prophets of Jerusalem corruption has gone forth into all the land.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi na tina na basakoli: « Nakoleisa bango bilei ya bololo mpe nakomelisa bango mayi ya ngenge, pamba te ezali na nzela ya basakoli ya Yelusalemi nde bato ya mokili mobimba bobosani Nzambe. »
16 Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, and deceive you: they speak a vision of their own heart, and not out of the mouth of the Lord.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Boyoka te makambo oyo basakoli bazali kosakola epai na bino!
17 They say to them that blaspheme me: The Lord hath said: You shall have peace: and to every one that walketh in the perverseness of his own heart, they have said: No evil shall come to you.
Bazali koloba na bato oyo batiolaka Ngai: ‹ Yawe alobi: Bokozala malamu! › Mpe na bato oyo balandaka makanisi mabe ya mitema na bango: ‹ Mabe moko te ekokomela bino! ›
18 For who hath stood in the counsel of the Lord, and hath seen and heard his word? Who hath considered his word and heard it?
Kasi nani kati na basakoli wana akotaki na mayangani ya Yawe mpo ete amona to mpe ayoka Liloba na Yawe? Nani apesaki litoyi mpo na koyoka liloba na Ye?
19 Behold the whirlwind of the Lord’s indignation shall come forth, and a tempest shall break out and come upon the head of the wicked.
Tala, mopepe makasi ya Yawe etomboki! Kanda na Ye epeli lokola moto, bakake ezali konguluma mpe kokweyela bato mabe.
20 The wrath of the Lord shall not return till he execute it, and till he accomplish the thought of his heart: in the latter days you shall understand his counsel.
Kanda ya Yawe ekokita te kino ekokokisa malamu-malamu penza mabongisi ya motema na Ye! Bokozwa mayele ya kososola yango malamu na mikolo oyo ekoya.
21 I did not send prophets, yet they ran: I have not spoken to them, yet they prophesied.
Natindaki basakoli wana te, kasi tala ndenge bapoti mbangu mpo na kokende; nalobaki na bango likambo moko te, kasi tala bango wana bazali kosakola!
22 If they stood in my counsel, and had made my words known to my people, I should have turned them from their evil way and from their wicked doings.
Soki solo bazalaki na mayangani na Ngai, balingaki nde koloba maloba na Ngai epai ya bato na Ngai, mpe bato na Ngai balingaki kotika banzela mpe misala na bango ya mabe!
23 Am I, think ye, a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off?
Boni, bokanisi ete Ngai Nzambe namonaka kaka pene, kasi namonaka mosika te? » elobi Yawe.
24 Shall a man be hid in secret places, and I not see him, saith the Lord? do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord?
« Boni, moto akoki solo kobombama na esika ya nkuku, bongo Ngai nazanga komona ye? » elobi Yawe. « Boni, natondisa likolo mpe mabele te? » elobi Yawe.
25 I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, and say: I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
« Nayoki makambo oyo basakoli ya lokuta bazali kosakola na Kombo na Ngai; bazali koloba: ‹ Tala, naloti ndoto! Naloti ndoto! ›
26 How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart?
Kino tango nini penza basakoli oyo bakokoba kosakola makambo ya lokuta, makanisi ya pamba ya mitema na bango?
27 Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbor: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
Bakanisi ete bakoki kosala ete bato na Ngai babosana Kombo na Ngai na nzela ya ndoto oyo bazali koloba bango na bango, ndenge batata na bango babosanaki Kombo na Ngai mpo na kosalela nzambe Bala?
28 The prophet that hath a dream, let him tell a dream: and he that hath my word, let him speak my word with truth: what hath the chaff to do with the wheat, saith the Lord?
Tika ete mosakoli oyo aloti ndoto aloba yango, mpe tika ete moto oyo azali na liloba na Ngai aloba liloba na Ngai kolanda solo, ndenge yango ezali. Mpo na nini kosangisa matiti ya kokawuka na ble? » elobi Yawe;
29 Are not my words as a fire, saith the Lord: and as a hammer that breaketh the rock in pieces?
« boni, maloba na Ngai ezali lokola moto te? To lokola marto te oyo ebukaka mabanga biteni-biteni? » elobi Yawe.
30 Therefore behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who steal my words every one from his neighbor.
« Yango wana, nakotelemela basakoli oyo bawelaka bango na bango maloba na Ngai, » elobi Yawe;
31 Behold I am against the prophets, saith the Lord: who use their tongues, and say: The Lord saith it.
« solo, nakotelemela basakoli oyo bafungolaka minoko na bango mpo na kokomisa maloba na bango maloba na Ngai, » elobi Yawe,
32 Behold I am against the prophets that have lying dreams, saith the Lord: and tell them, and cause my people to err by their lying, and by their wonders: when I sent them not, nor commanded them, who have not profited this people at all, saith the Lord.
« nakotelemela basakoli oyo basakolaka bandoto ya lokuta, » elobi Yawe, « basakoli oyo bapengwisaka bato na Ngai na nzela ya maloba na bango ya lokuta tango balobaka bandoto yango ya lokuta; nzokande Ngai natindaki bango te mpe napesaki bango ndingisa te; ezali na tina ata moko te mpo na bato na Ngai, » elobi Yawe.
33 If therefore this people, or the prophet, or the priest shall ask thee, saying: What is the burden of the Lord? thou shalt say to them: You are the burden: for I will cast you away, saith the Lord.
« Soki moko kati na bato oyo to mosakoli to Nganga-Nzambe atuni yo: ‹ Yawe alobi nini? › Loba na ye: ‹ Yawe alobi nini? Nakosundola bino, elobi Yawe. ›
34 And as for the prophet, and the priest, and the people that shall say: The burden of the Lord: I will visit upon that man, and upon his house.
Soki mosakoli to Nganga-Nzambe to moto mosusu alobi: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi, › nakopesa ye elongo na libota na ye etumbu.
35 Thus shall you say every one to his neighbor, and to his brother: What hath the Lord answered? and what hath the Lord spoken?
Nzokande, tala maloba oyo moko na moko kati na bino asengeli koyebisa moninga to ndeko na ye: ‹ Eyano nini Yawe apesi? Yawe alobi nini? ›
36 And the burden of the Lord shall be mentioned no more, for every man’s word shall be his burden: for you have perverted the words of the living God, of the Lord of hosts our God.
Kasi bosengeli lisusu te koloba: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi, › noki te liloba yango ekokoma etumbu mpo na moto oyo alobi yango, pamba te bobongoli maloba na Nzambe na bomoi, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe na biso!
37 Thus shalt thou say to the prophet: What hath the Lord answered thee? and what hath the Lord spoken?
Tala maloba oyo osengeli koloba na mosakoli wana: ‹ Eyano nini Yawe apesi yo? › to ‹ Yawe alobi nini? ›
38 But if you shall say: The burden of the Lord: therefore thus saith the Lord: Because you have said this word: The burden of the Lord: and I have sent to you saying: Say not, The burden of the Lord:
Nzokande, soki bolobi lisusu: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi, › wana tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Lokola bosalelaka maloba oyo: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi, › ata tango Ngai nayebisaki bino: ‹ Boloba te: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi! ›
39 Therefore behold I will take you away carrying you, and will forsake you, and the city which I gave to you, and to your fathers, out of my presence.
mpo na yango, nakobosana bino solo mpe nakobengana bino mosika ya elongi na Ngai, bino elongo na engumba oyo napesaki na bino mpe na batata na bino;
40 And I will bring an everlasting reproach upon you, and a perpetual shame which shall never be forgotten.
nakoyokisa bino soni ya libela, soni oyo bokotikala kobosana te. »
