Jeremiah 32
1 This is the Lord's message that came to Jeremiah in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah's reign, which was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadnezzar's reign.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na bokonzi mpe Nabukodonozori akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi.
2 This was when the army of the king of Babylon was besieging Jerusalem. Jeremiah the prophet was imprisoned in the guard's courtyard, part of the king of Judah's palace.
Ezalaki na tango oyo mampinga ya mokonzi ya Babiloni ezingelaki Yelusalemi, mpe mosakoli Jeremi azalaki ya kokangama kati na boloko oyo ezalaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli ya ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda.
3 Zedekiah king of Judah had put him in prison, telling him: “Why do you have to prophesy like this? You say the Lord is saying, ‘Look, I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon, and he will capture it.
Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, abwakaki ye kuna na koloba: « Mpo na nini ozali kosakola na maloba oyo: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakokaba engumba oyo na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe akobotola yango;
4 Zedekiah king of Judah won't escape from the Babylonians. He will be captured and taken to the king of Babylon to speak with him personally and see him face to face.
Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akolonga te kokima liboso ya bato ya Babiloni, kasi nakokaba ye solo na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni oyo akolobana na ye mpe akotalana na ye na elongi;
5 He will take Zedekiah to Babylon, where he'll remain until I deal with him, declares the Lord. You won't be successful if you fight against the Babylonians.’”
akomema Sedesiasi na Babiloni, akowumela kuna kino tango nakotala likambo na ye, elobi Yawe, soki bomeki kobundisa bato ya Babiloni, bokolonga te. › »
6 Jeremiah answered, “The Lord gave me a message, saying:
Jeremi alobaki: « Yawe alobaki na ngai:
7 Your cousin Hanamel, son of Shallum, is coming to tell you, ‘Why don't you buy my field in Anathoth because you have the right to redeem it and buy it?’
Anameyeli, mwana mobali ya Shalumi, noko na yo, azali koya epai na yo mpe akoloba: ‹ Somba elanga na ngai, oyo ezali na Anatoti, pamba te yo nde ozali na makoki mpe na mokumba ya kosikola yango. ›
8 Just as the Lord had said, my cousin Hanamel arrived to see me in the guard's courtyard and asked me, ‘Please buy my field in Anathoth in the land of Benjamin because you have the right of family ownership to redeem it. You should buy it for yourself.’” This convinced me that this was a message from the Lord.
Bongo, kaka ndenge Yawe alobaki, Anameyeli, mwana ya noko na ngai, ayaki kotala ngai kati na lopango ya bakengeli mpe alobaki: ‹ Somba elanga na ngai, oyo ezali na Anatoti kati na etuka ya Benjame, pamba te yo nde ozali na makoki ya kosikola yango mpe ya kozwa yango; somba na yo yango. › Nasosolaki ete ezali Liloba na Yawe;
9 So I bought the field in Anathoth from my cousin Hanamel. I weighed out seventeen shekels of silver to pay him.
boye nasombaki elanga oyo ezali na Anatoti, na maboko ya Anameyeli, mwana mobali ya noko na ngai, mpe nafutaki ye mbongo ya bibende ya palata, zomi na sambo.
10 I signed the deed and sealed it, had it witnessed, and weighed out the silver using the scales.
Nakomaki mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga mpe nabetaki yango kashe; namekaki kilo ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata na miso ya batatoli, na emekelo kilo.
11 Then I took the deed of sale, both the sealed original containing the terms and conditions, and the unsealed copy,
Nakamataki mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga, oyo nabetaki kashe, oyo kati na yango bakoma malako ya mibeko mpe mabongisi; mpe nazwaki lisusu mokanda oyo babeta kashe te;
12 and handed them to Baruch son of Neriah, son of Mahseiah. I did this in the presence of my cousin Hanamel, the witnesses who had signed the deed of sale, and all the people of Judah who were sitting there in the guard's courtyard.
mpe napesaki mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga epai ya Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, na miso ya Anameyeli, mwana ya noko na ngai, mpe ya batatoli oyo batiaki mikoloto na bango kati na mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga, mpe na miso ya Bayuda nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli.
13 I gave Baruch these instructions in front of them,
Napesaki Baruki mitindo oyo na miso na bango nyonso:
14 “This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: Put these deeds of sale, the sealed original and the open copy, in a clay jar so they can be kept safe for a long time.
‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Kamata mikanda oyo nasombelaki elanga, ezala oyo babeta kashe to oyo babeta kashe te; tia yango kati na mbeki oyo basala na mabele ya bikeko mpo ete ebeba te.
15 For this is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says: The time will come when once again houses, fields, and vineyards will be bought in this country.”
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bato bakosomba lisusu bandako, bilanga mpe bilanga ya vino kati na mokili oyo. ›
16 After I had given the deed of sale to Baruch son of Neriah, I prayed to the Lord:
Sima na ngai kopesa mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga epai ya Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, nabondelaki Yawe:
17 “Ah, Lord God! You created the heavens and the earth by your great strength and power. Nothing is too hard for you!
Oh Nkolo Yawe! Yo nde osala likolo mpe mabele na nguya monene na Yo, otanda yango na makasi ya loboko na Yo: olembanaka likambo moko te.
18 You give your trustworthy love to thousands, but you punish the sins of the fathers the consequences affect their children too., Great and powerful God whose name is the Lord Almighty,
Otalisaka bolingo na Yo epai ya bato kino na molongo ya nkoto, kasi opesaka etumbu mpo na masumu ya batata epai ya bana mpe bakitani na bango. Oh Nzambe monene mpe ya nguya, Kombo na Yo ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga;
19 you are the one who is supremely wise and who does incredible things. You watch what everyone does, and you reward them according to the way they live and what their actions deserve.
mabongisi na Yo ezali minene mpe misala minene na Yo ezali ya kokamwa; miso na Yo ezalaka ya kofungwama mpo na kotala banzela nyonso ya bato, mpo na kopesa na moto nyonso kolanda etamboli mpe misala na ye.
20 You carried out signs and miracles in Egypt, and you still do so today, both here in Israel and among all people everywhere. As a result you gained a great reputation, and this is still true today.
Osalaki bilembo minene mpe bikamwa kati na Ejipito mpe ozali kokoba kosala yango kino lelo kati na Isalaele mpe kati na bato nyonso, mpe osalaki ete Kombo na Yo ekende sango ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.
21 You led your people Israel out of Egypt with signs and miracles, with your great power and strength that terrified people.
Obimisaki bato na Yo, Isalaele, na Ejipito na nzela ya bilembo minene mpe bikamwa wana osalelaki nguya na Yo mpe osembolaki loboko na Yo ya nguya mpo na koyeisa somo kati na bato ya Ejipito.
22 You gave them this land that you had promised to give their forefathers, a land flowing with milk and honey.
Opesaki bango mokili oyo, na nzela ya ndayi, olakaki kopesa na batata na bango, mokili oyo ebimisaka miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
23 They came and took it over, but they didn't do what you said or follow your laws. They didn't do everything you ordered them to do, which is why you've brought all this disaster down on them.
Bakotaki kati na yango mpe babotolaki yango; kasi batosaki Yo te, basalelaki Mobeko na Yo te, basalaki te nyonso oyo otindaki bango. Yango wana omemelaki bango pasi oyo nyonso.
24 Look at the siege ramps piled up against the city to capture it! Through war and famine and disease, the city will be taken by the Babylonians who are attacking it. You can see that everything you said would happen has happened.
Tala, banguna basili kobongama mpo na kobotola engumba! Likolo ya mopanga, ya nzala makasi mpe ya bokono oyo ebomaka, engumba oyo ekokweya na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni, oyo bazali kobundisa yango. Makambo oyo olobaki ekokisami, ndenge ozali komona yango na mokolo ya lelo.
25 Yet, Lord God, you have told me, ‘Buy yourself the field with silver in front of witnesses, even though the city has been handed over to the Babylonians!’”
Mpe atako engumba oyo ekokweya na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni, Yo, Nkolo Yawe, olobi na ngai: ‹ Somba elanga na mbongo ya bibende ya palata na miso ya batatoli. › »
26 Then Lord gave Jeremiah this message:
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
27 Look! I am the Lord, the God of everyone. Is anything too hard for me to do?
« Nazali Yawe, Nzambe ya moto nyonso. Boni, ezali na likambo oyo Ngai nakoki kolembana?
28 So this is what the Lord says: Listen! I'm going to hand over this city to the king of Babylon and the Babylonians, and they will capture it.
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakokaba engumba oyo na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni mpe ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpo ete azwa yango.
29 The Babylonians who are attacking the city are going to come and set fire to it. They will burn it down, including the houses belonging to the people who made me angry by burning incense to Baal on their rooftops, and by pouring out drink offerings in worship of other gods.
Bato ya Babiloni oyo bazali kobundisa engumba oyo, bakokota kati na yango mpe bakotumba yango; bakotumba yango elongo na bandako oyo, na likolo ya manzanza na yango, bato bazalaki kotumbola Ngai na kobonza bambeka ya malasi ya ansa epai ya nzambe Bala mpe kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya banzambe ya bapaya.
30 From their earliest days all the people of Israel and of Judah have ever done has been evil in my sight. In fact all they've even done is to make me angry through their actions, declares the Lord.
Bana ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda, wuta bolenge na bango, bazalaki kosala eloko mosusu te na miso na Ngai, soki kaka mabe te; solo, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kosala eloko mosusu te, soki kaka te kopesa Ngai kanda na nzela ya biloko oyo maboko na bango esalaki, elobi Yawe.
31 This city has been such a source of anger and frustration from the time it was built right up till now. So I'm going to get rid of it,
Wuta batonga engumba oyo kino na mokolo ya lelo, mosala na yango kaka kotumbola Ngai mpe kopesa Ngai kanda; yango wana, nakolongola yango liboso na Ngai.
32 because of all the evil things the people of Israel and Judah did that made me angry—their kings, and officials, their priests and prophets, all of those living in Judah and Jerusalem, everyone
Bato ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda bapesaki Ngai kanda na nzela ya mabe nyonso oyo basalaki: ezala bango, bakonzi na bango, bakalaka na bango, Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli na bango, bato ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
33 They have turned their backs on me. They wouldn't even look at me. Even though I kept on trying to teach them, they refused to listen or accept instruction.
Bapesaki Ngai mokongo na esika ya kotala Ngai. Atako nazalaki tango na tango koteya bango, kasi batikalaki koyoka Ngai te mpe baboyaki kozwa mayele.
34 They have put their disgusting idols in my Temple, making it unclean.
Batiaki kutu banzambe na bango ya bikeko kati na Ndako epai wapi babelaka Kombo na Ngai, mpe na bongo, bakomisaki yango mbindo.
35 They have built pagan shrines to Baal in the Valley of Hinnom so they could sacrifice their sons and daughters by burning them in the fire. This is something I never commanded. I never even thought of such a thing—doing something so awful and making the people of Judah guilty of sin.
Bakomaki kotonga bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na Bala, na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, mpo na kobonza bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi epai ya Moloki; ezali likambo oyo Ngai natikalaki kotinda bango te, mpe natikala kokanisa te ete bakoki kosala makambo ya nkele boye mpo na komemisa Yuda masumu.
36 Now about this city. You are correctly saying, “It's going be handed over to the king of Babylon through war and famine and disease.” However, this is what the Lord, the God of Israel, says:
Mpo na yango, tala sik’oyo liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na engumba oyo bino bozali koloba ete ekabami na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni na nzela ya mopanga, ya nzala makasi mpe ya bokono oyo ebomaka:
37 I promise to gather my people from all the lands where I exiled them because they made me so very angry. I will bring them back here and they will live in safety.
‹ Solo, nakosangisa bango wuta na mikili nyonso epai wapi nabenganaki bango tango natombokelaki bango, nakozongisa bango na esika oyo mpe nakovandisa bango na kimia.
38 They will be my people, and I will be their God.
Bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango.
39 I will make sure they think the same way and act in harmony, so that they will always honor me so all will be good for them and their descendants.
Nakopesa bango motema se moko mpe etamboli se moko mpo ete batosaka Ngai tango nyonso mpo na bolamu na bango mpe mpo na bolamu ya bakitani na bango.
40 I will make an everlasting agreement with them: I'm never going to stop doing them good and I will help them to respect me so that they won't ever abandon me.
Nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na bango, nakotika te kosalela bango bolamu mpe nakosala ete batosa Ngai mpe bapesa Ngai lisusu mokongo te.
41 I will be delighted to treat them well, and I will commit myself with the whole of my being to helping them to grow as a nation in this land.
Nakosepela kosalela bango bolamu mpe nakolona bango penza kati na mokili oyo, na motema mpe na molimo na Ngai mobimba. ›
42 This is what the Lord says: Just as certainly as I have brought this whole disaster down on my people, so I'm going to give to them all the good things I have promised.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Ndenge natindelaki bato oyo pasi oyo nyonso, ndenge wana mpe nakotindela bango bomengo nyonso oyo nalakaki bango.
43 Fields will once again be bought in this country that you're describing, saying, “It's been completely destroyed—no people or animals are left. It's been handed over to the Babylonians.”
Bato bakosomba lisusu bilanga kati na mokili oyo bino bozali koloba na tina na yango: ‹ Mokili oyo ebeba, etikala lisusu na bato mpe na banyama te; pamba te ekabama na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni. ›
44 People will buy fields with silver again, deeds will be signed, sealed, and witnessed. This will happen here in the land of Benjamin, in the areas surrounding Jerusalem, and in all the towns of Judah—including the towns of the hill country, the foothills, and the Negev—because I will bring the people back from exile, declares the Lord.
Solo, bakosomba lisusu bilanga na motuya ya palata, bakotia mikoloto mpe bakashe na mikanda oyo bakosombela bilanga yango, na miso ya batatoli, kati na mboka ya Benjame, kati na bamboka mike-mike oyo ezali zingazinga ya Yelusalemi, kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe kati na bingumba ya mokili ya bangomba, kati na bingumba ya bitando mpe kati na bingumba ya Negevi; pamba te nakozongisa bato na bango oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, elobi Yawe. »
