< Jeremiah 43 >

1 And it came to pass, that when Jeremias had made an end of speaking to the people all the words of the Lord their God, for which the Lord their God had sent him to them, all these words:
Tango Jeremi asilisaki koloba na bato maloba nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, maloba nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bango, atindaki ye koyebisa bango,
2 Azarias the son of Osaias, and Johanan the son of Caree, and all the proud men, made answer, saying to Jeremias: Thou tellest a lie: the Lord our God hath not sent thee, saying: Go not into Egypt, to dwell there.
Azaria, mwana mobali ya Oshaya; Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bato oyo nyonso ya lolendo balobaki na Jeremi: — Ozali koloba makambo ya lokuta! Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atindi yo te koloba na biso ete tokende te kovanda na Ejipito.
3 But Baruch the son of Nerias setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hands of the Chaldeans, to kill us, and to cause us to be carried away captives to Babylon.
Ezali Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, moto atindi yo ete okosa biso, pamba te alingi ete towumela na se ya bokonzi ya bato ya Babiloni mpo ete baboma biso to bamema biso na bowumbu na Babiloni.
4 So Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of the Lord, to remain in the land of Juda.
Boye, Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, bakonzi nyonso ya basoda mpe bato nyonso baboyaki kotosa Yawe oyo azali kosenga bango kovanda kati na mokili ya Yuda.
5 But Johanan the son of Caree, and all the captains of the soldiers took all the remnant of Juda, that were returned out of all nations, to which they had before been scattered, to dwell in the land of Juda:
Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda bakamataki batikali nyonso ya Yuda, oyo bazongaki wuta na bikolo nyonso epai wapi bazalaki ya kopanzana, mpo na kovanda na mokili ya Yuda;
6 Men, and women, and children, and the king’s daughters, and every soul, which Nabuzardan the general had left with Godolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, and Jeremias the prophet, and Baruch the son of Nerias.
bamemaki lisusu mibali, basi, bana mpe bana basi ya mokonzi oyo Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, apesaki na maboko ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani. Bamemaki mpe mosakoli Jeremi mpe Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya.
7 And they went Into the land of Egypt, for they obeyed not the voice of the Lord: and they came as far as Taphnis.
Boye, mpo ete batosaki Yawe te, bakendeki na Ejipito mpe bakomaki kino na Dafine.
8 And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias in Taphnis, saying:
Wuta na Dafine, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
9 Take great stones in thy hand, and thou shalt hide them in the vault that is under the brick wall at the gate of Pharao’s house in Taphnis: in the sight of the men of Juda.
— Kamata mabanga minene mpe, na miso ya Bayuda, kunda yango na se ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, mabele ya pavema oyo batonga na babiliki, na ekotelo ya ndako ya Faraon, na Dafine.
10 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will send, and take Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will set his throne over these stones which I have hid, and he shall set his throne over them.
Loba na bango: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakobengisa mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe nakotelemisa kiti na ye ya bokonzi na likolo ya mabanga oyo nasili kokunda na esika oyo; akotanda ndako na ye ya kapo ya bokonzi na likolo na yango.
11 And he shall come and strike the land of Egypt: such as are for death, to death: and such as are for captivity, to captivity: and such as are for the sword, to the sword.
Akoya kobundisa Ejipito mpe akoboma bato oyo basengeli kokufa, akomema na bowumbu ba-oyo basengeli kokende na bowumbu mpe akoboma na mopanga ba-oyo basengeli kokufa na mopanga.
12 And he shall kindle a fire in the temples of the gods of Egypt, and he shall burn them, and he shall carry them away captives: and he shall array himself with the land of Egypt, as a shepherd putteth on his garment: and he shall go forth from thence in peace.
Akotia moto kati na batempelo ya banzambe ya bato ya Ejipito, akotumba batempelo yango mpe akomema banzambe na bango ya bikeko na bowumbu. Akolongola bato ya Ejipito ndenge mobateli bibwele alongolaka basili na kazaka na ye, mpe akobima na kimia.
13 And he shall break the statues of the house of the sun, that are in the land of Egypt; and the temples of the gods of Egypt he shall burn with fire.
Kuna, kati na tempelo ya Eliopolisi, akobuka makonzi ya bule mpe akobebisa na moto batempelo ya banzambe ya bato ya Ejipito. › »
