< Jeremiah 44 >

1 The word that came to Jeremias, concerning all the Jews that dwelt in the land of Egypt, dwelling in Magdal, and in Taphnis, and in Memphis, and in the land of Phatures, saying:
Tala liloba oyo Jeremi azwaki na tina na Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ejipito, na se ya bingumba ya Migidoli, na Dafine, na Mefisi mpe na Patrosi:
2 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: You have seen all this evil that I have brought upon Jerusalem, and upon all the cities of Juda: and behold they are desolate this day, and there is not an inhabitant in them:
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bomonaki pasi makasi oyo natindaki na Yelusalemi mpe na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda. Na mokolo ya lelo, etikali pamba mpe ebebisami makasi
3 Because of the wickedness which they have committed, to provoke me to wrath, and to go and offer sacrifice, and worship other gods, which neither they, nor you, nor your fathers knew.
likolo ya mabe oyo basalaki. Bapesaki Ngai kanda tango bakomaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosalela banzambe mosusu oyo batikalaki koyeba te, ezala bango to bino to batata na bino.
4 And I sent to you all my servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and saying: Do not commit this abominable thing, which I hate.
Nzokande, nazalaki tango na tango kotinda basali na Ngai, basakoli, mpo na koloba na bino: ‹ Bosala te makambo ya nkele oyo nayinaka. ›
5 But they heard not, nor inclined their ear to turn from their evil ways, and not to sacrifice to strange gods.
Kasi batikalaki koyoka te mpe batosaki te; batikaki mabe na bango te mpe bakobaki kaka kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu.
6 Wherefore my indignation and my fury was poured forth, and was kindled in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and they are turned to desolation and waste, as at this day.
Yango wana, kanda makasi na Ngai epelaki mpe ebebisaki bingumba ya Yuda mpe babalabala ya Yelusalemi; mpe lisusu ebukaki-bukaki yango ndenge ezali komonana lelo.
7 And now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Why do you commit this great evil against your own souls, that there should die of you man and woman, child and suckling out of the midst of Juda, and no remnant should be left you:
Sik’oyo tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Mpo na nini bozali komimemela pasi ya makasi boye kino mokili ya Yuda ezangela mibali, basi, babebe mpe etikala lisusu ata na moto moko te?
8 In that you provoke me to wrath with the works of your hands, by sacrificing to other gods in the land of Egypt, into which you are come to dwell there: and that you should perish, and be a curse, and a reproach to all the nations of the earth?
Mpo na nini bozali kopelisa kanda na Ngai na nzela ya misala na bino ya mabe, na kotumbaka malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu ya Ejipito epai wapi bokeyi kovanda? Bino moko nde bozali komibebisa mpe komikomisa bato ya libabe mpe eloko ya kotiola kati ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili.
9 Have you forgotten the evils of your fathers, and the evils of the kings of Juda, and the evils of their wives, and your evils, and the evils of your wives, that they have done in the land of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem?
Bobosani mabe oyo batata na bino, bakonzi mpe basi ya bakonzi ya Yuda basalaki? Bobosani mabe oyo bino mpe basi na bino bosalaki kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?
10 They are not cleansed even to this day: neither have they feared, nor walked in the law of the Lord, nor in my commandments, which I set before you and your fathers.
Kino lelo, bamikitisi te, batosi Ngai te, batosi mibeko mpe malako na Ngai te, oyo napesaki bino mpe batata na bino.
11 Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will set my face upon you for evil: and I will destroy all Juda.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nazwi mokano ya komemela bino pasi mpe ya kobebisa mokili nyonso ya Yuda.
12 And I will take the remnant of Juda that have set their faces to go into the land of Egypt, and to dwell there: and they shall be all consumed in the land of Egypt: they shall fall by the sword, and by the famine: and they shall be consumed from the least even to the greatest, by the sword, and by the famine shall they die: and they shall be for an execration, and for a wonder, and for a curse, and for a reproach.
Nakokanga batikali ya Yuda, ba-oyo batingamaki koya kovanda awa na Ejipito; bango nyonso bakokufa kati na Ejipito, na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, kobanda na ye oyo aleki moke kino na ye oyo aleki monene; bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, mpe bakobanda kotangaka kombo na bango mpo na kolakela bato mabe; bakokoma eloko ya koyoka somo, eloko ya lisuma mpe eloko ya kotiola.
13 And I will visit them that dwell in the land of Egypt, as I have visited Jerusalem by the sword, and by famine, and by pestilence.
Nakopesa bavandi ya Ejipito etumbu na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka, ndenge napesaki Yelusalemi etumbu.
14 And there shall be none that shall escape, and remain of the remnant of the Jews that are gone to sojourn in the land of Egypt: and that shall return into the land of Juda, to which they have a desire to return to dwell there: there shall none return but they that shall flee.
Kati na batikali ya Yuda oyo bayaki kovanda na Ejipito, moko te akobika to akotikala na bomoi, ata soki ayoki posa ya kozonga mpo na kovanda na mokili ya Yuda, bato moke kaka nde bakozonga. »
15 Then all the men that knew that their wives sacrificed to other gods: and all the women of whom there stood by a great multitude, and all the people of them that dwelt in the land of Egypt in Phatures, answered Jeremias, saying:
Mibali nyonso oyo bayebaki ete basi na bango bazalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, elongo na basi nyonso oyo bazalaki wana kati na lisanga monene mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ejipito ya se mpe ya likolo balobaki na Jeremi:
16 As for the word which thou hast spoken to us in the name of the Lord, we will not hearken to thee:
— Te! Tokoyoka te makambo oyo ozali koyebisa biso na kombo ya Yawe.
17 But we will certainly do every word that shall proceed out of our own mouth, to sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, as we and our fathers have done, our kings, and our princes in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem: and we were filled with bread, and it was well with us, and we saw no evil.
Tokosala nde makambo nyonso oyo biso tokanaki kosala: tokotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpo na Ishitari mpe tokosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino mpo na ye ndenge biso, batata na biso, bakonzi na biso mpe bakalaka na biso tosalaki kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi; mpe na tango wana, tozalaki na bilei ebele, tozalaki malamu mpe tozalaki komona pasi te.
18 But since we left off to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her, we have wanted all things, and have been consumed by the sword, and by famine.
Kasi wuta kaka tango totikaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, tozangela nyonso mpe tokoma kokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi.
19 And if we offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and pour out drink offerings to her: did we make cakes to worship her, to pour out drink offerings to her, without our husbands?
Basi babakisaki: — Kutu, tango tozalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, boni, mibali na biso bayebaki te ete tozali kosala bagato na elilingi na ye mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai na ye?
20 And Jeremias spoke to all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had given him that answer, saying:
Bongo Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso, mibali mpe basi, oyo bapesaki ye eyano wana:
21 Was it not the sacrifice that you offered in the cities of Juda, and in the streets of Jerusalem, you and Sour fathers, your kings, and your princes, and the people of the land, which the Lord hath remembered, and hath it not entered into his heart?
— Boni, bokanisi ete Yawe abosani mpe azali kokanisa lisusu te malasi ya ansa oyo botumbaki kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, bino, batata na bino, bakonzi na bino, bakalaka na bino mpe bato nyonso ya mokili?
22 So that the Lord could no longer bear, because of the evil of your doings, and because of the abominations which you have committed: therefore your land is become a desolation, and an astonishment, and a curse, without an inhabitant, as at this day.
Yawe akokaki lisusu te kokanga motema liboso ya misala na bino ya mabe mpe ya nkele; ezali mpo na yango nde mokili na bino ekomi elanga ya libebi, etando ebebisama, eloko ya lisuma mpe etikali lisusu na bato te, ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.
23 Because you have sacrificed to idols, and have sinned against the Lord: and have not obeyed the voice of the Lord, and have not walked in his law, and in his commandments, and in his testimonies: therefore are these evils come upon you, as at this day.
Mpo ete botumbaki malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe bosalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, mpo ete botosaki Yawe te mpe bolandaki te Mobeko na Ye, bikateli na Ye mpe malako na Ye, yango wana pasi oyo ekomeli bino ndenge bozali komona yango lelo.
24 And Jeremias said to all the people, and to all the women: Hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt:
Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso mpe epai ya basi nyonso: — Bino bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bozali kati na Ejipito, boyoka Liloba na Yawe:
25 Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, saying: You and your wives have spoken with your mouth, and fulfilled with your hands, saying: Let us perform our vows which we have made, to offer sacrifice to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings to her: you have fulfilled your vows, and have performed them indeed.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bino mpe basi na bino, bomonisi na nzela ya misala na bino elaka oyo bopesaki tango bolobaki: « Tokokokisa solo ndayi oyo tolapaki ete tokotumba malasi ya ansa mpe tokosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, nzambe mwasi ya bato ya Babiloni. » Bokende! Bosala ndenge bolobi mpe bokokisa ndayi na bino!
26 Therefore hear ye the word of the Lord, all Juda, you that dwell in the land of Egypt: Behold I have sworn by my great name, saith the Lord: that my name shall no more be named in the mouth of any man of Juda, in the land of Egypt, saying: The Lord God liveth.
Kasi mpo na yango, boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino Bayuda nyonso oyo bozali kovanda kati na Ejipito: « Tala, nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai ya monene, » elobi Yawe, « moto moko te oyo awuta na mokili ya Yuda, bongo avandi na esika songolo ya Ejipito, akobelela to mpe akolapa ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, na koloba: ‹ Lokola Nkolo Yawe azali na bomoi! ›
27 Behold I will watch over them for evil, and not for good: and all the men of Juda that are in the land of Egypt, shall be consumed, by the sword, and by famine, till there be an end of them.
Pamba te nazali kolandela bango malamu mpo ete bamona pasi kasi bolamu te. Bato nyonso ya Yuda kati na Ejipito bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi kino tango bango nyonso bakosila kobebisama.
28 And a few men that shall flee from the sword, shall return out of the land of Egypt into the land of Juda: and all the remnant of Juda that are gone into the land of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose word shall stand, mine, or theirs.
Kaka ndambo moke ya bato nde ekobika na mopanga mpe ekozonga na mokili ya Yuda, wuta na Ejipito. Boye, batikali nyonso ya Yuda, ba-oyo nyonso bayaki kovanda na Ejipito, bakoyeba soki liloba ya nani nde ekokokisama: ya Ngai to ya bango.
29 And this shall be a sign to you, saith the Lord, that I will punish you in this place: that you may know that my words shall be accomplished indeed against you for evil.
Ekozala elembo ete nakopesa bino etumbu na esika oyo, » elobi Yawe, « mpo ete boyeba solo ete pasi oyo nalakaki bino ekokokisama kaka. »
30 Thus saith the Lord: Behold I will deliver Pharao Ephree king of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seek his life: as I delivered Sedecias king of Juda into the hand of Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon his enemy, and that sought his life.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakokaba Faraon Ofira, mokonzi ya Ejipito, na maboko ya banguna na ye oyo bazali koluka bomoi na ye, ndenge kaka nakabaki Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo azalaki koluka bomoi na ye. »
