Jeremiah 48
1 This is what the Lord Almighty, the God of Israel, says about Moab: Disaster is coming to the town of Nebo, because it will be destroyed. The town of Kiriathaim will be captured and humiliated; the fortress will be torn down and its people shamed.
Na tina ya Moabi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Mawa na engumba Nebo, pamba te ekobebisama! Kiriatayimi ekoyokisama soni mpe bakobotola yango, ndako makasi ekoyokisama soni mpe ekobukana.
2 No one praises Moab anymore. People in Heshbon are plotting, “We will destroy Moab as a nation. People of the town of Madmen, we will silence you too—you will be attacked by swords and chased down.”
Moabi ekozala lisusu na lokumu te, bato bakosalela yango likita kati na Eshiboni mpo na kokweyisa yango: ‹ Boya, tokweyisa ekolo oyo! › Yo mpe, engumba Madimeni, okokanga monoko; mopanga ekolanda yo.
3 Listen to the cries from Horonaim: “Violence and terrible destruction!”
Yoka makelele oyo ezali kobima kuna na Oronayimi: ezali lokito ya bitumba mpe ya kobebisama!
4 Moab will be smashed. Hear the little ones crying for help.
Moabi ebebisami makasi penza mpe bana na yango bazali kolela.
5 People weep as they go up to Luhith; and as they come down to Horonaim their sad cries at the destruction echo around.
Bazali komata na kolela, nzela-nzela mpo na kokende na Luyiti; mpe tango bazali kokita na Oronayimi, koganga ya mawa ezali koyokana mpo ete Moabi esili kobebisama.
6 Run away! Save yourselves! Be like a scrawny tamarisk tree in the desert!
Bokima! Bopota mbangu mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bino; bokoma lokola nzete ya kokawuka kati na esobe!
7 It's because you put your confidence in what you do and what you own that you too will be captured. Your god Chemosh will be taken into exile along with his priests and leaders.
Lokola bozali kotia mitema na misala na bino mpe na bomengo na bino, bino mpe bokokende na bowumbu; boye Kemoshi mpe akokende na bowumbu elongo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi na ye.
8 The invaders will attack every town; not a single one will escape destruction. The valley will be ruined, and the plain will be destroyed, for the Lord has spoken.
Mobebisi akoya koboma bingumba nyonso mpe ata engumba moko te ekobika; lubwaku ekobebisama, mpe etando ya likolo ya bangomba ekobebisama, pamba te Yawe alobi.
9 Put up gravestones in Moab, because the country will become a wasteland. Its towns will be turned into ruins where no one lives.
Bobongisa kunda mpo na Moabi mpo ete ekobebisama solo; bingumba na yango ekotikala pamba, mpe bato bakovanda lisusu kuna te.
10 A curse on those who don't do the Lord's work properly. A curse on those who don't use their swords to kill.
Tika ete moto oyo asalelaka Yawe na kozanga komipesa alakelama mabe! Tika ete moto oyo apelisaka mopanga na ye mpo ete etangisa makila alakelama mabe!
11 The people of Moab have been living comfortably since the country was founded. They're like wine that hasn't been disturbed, not poured from one container to another. So the taste and fragrance remains the same. They haven't experienced exile.
Moabi ezalaki na kimia wuta bolenge na yango lokola masanga ya vino oyo baningisi te, oyo babongoli na mbeki mosusu te, mpo ete etikala nanu kokende na bowumbu te. Boye, elengi na yango ebongwana te mpe solo na yango etikala kaka ndenge ya kala.
12 But watch out, the time is coming, declares the Lord, when I will send them “winemakers” who will pour them out like wine. They will empty out the Moabites, and smash them like jars.
Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakotindela Moabi bato oyo bakobongola yango lokola masanga ya vino na mbeki mosusu: bakosopa yango, bakosilisa yango na mbeki mpe bakobuka mbeki na yango.
13 Then the Moabites will feel let down by Chemosh, just as the people of Israel felt let down when they trusted in the golden calf idol at Bethel.
Boye, Moabi ekoyoka soni likolo ya Kemoshi ndenge bato ya Isalaele bayokaki soni tango batiaki mitema na Beteli.
14 How on earth can you Moabites say, “We're heroes, strong men ready to fight in battle”?
Ndenge nini bokoki koloba: ‹ Tozali basoda ya mpiko, bato ya makasi, bilombe ya bitumba? ›
15 Moab is going to be destroyed and its towns conquered. Its finest young men will be killed, declares the King, whose name is the Lord Almighty.
Mokili ya Moabi ekobebisama, mpe bakobotola bingumba na yango na makasi; bilenge mibali oyo Moabi etielaka motema bakokufa na mopanga, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
16 Moab's doom is about to happen; destruction is rushing down on them.
« Kobebisama ya Moabi ezali na nzela, pasi na yango ekoya na lombangu penza.
17 Mourn for them, all you surrounding nations, everyone who knows them! Let others know how the great scepter has been smashed, the rod that once proudly ruled!
Bino bazalani nyonso ya Moabi, bosalela ye matanga; bino bato oyo boyebi sango ya lokumu na ye, boloba: ‹ Ah, tala ndenge lingenda ya nguya, lingenda ya bokonzi ya nkembo, ebukani! ›
18 Come down from your glory and sit on the dusty ground, you who live in Dibon, for Moab's destroyer will come and attack you, destroying your fortresses.
Oh bato ya elenge mwasi Diboni, botika nkembo na bino mpe bovanda na esobe; pamba te moto oyo akoya kobundisa Moabi akoya mpe kobundisa bino mpe kobebisa bingumba na bino oyo batonga makasi!
19 Stand at the roadside and watch, you who live in Aroer. Ask the men and women who are running away to escape, “What's happened?”
Bino bavandi ya Aroeri, botelema na nzela mpe botala malamu, botuna mobali oyo azali kokima mpe mwasi oyo asili kobikisa bomoi na ye soki makambo nini esili kosalema!
20 Moab has been humiliated because it has been defeated. Weep and wail! Shout out beside the River Arnon that Moab has been destroyed!
Moabi ezali na soni mpo ete esili kokweya. Bolela mpe boganga, bobelela na Arinoni ete mokili ya Moabi ebebisami!
21 Punishment has arrived on the towns of the high plain—on Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
Kosambisama ekweyi na mokili ya etando ya likolo ya bangomba: na Oloni, na Yakatsi mpe na Mefati,
22 on Dibon, Nebo, and Beth-diblathaim,
na Diboni, na Nebo mpe na Beti-Diblatayimi,
23 on Kiriathaim, Beth-gamul, and Beth-meon,
na Kiriatayimi, na Beti-Gamuli mpe na Beti-Meoni,
24 on Kerioth, Bozrah, and on all the towns of Moab, whether far away or nearby.
na Kerioti mpe na Botsira, na bingumba nyonso ya Moabi, ezala oyo ezali mosika to oyo ezali pene.
25 Moab's strength is gone; their power has been broken, declares the Lord.
Liseke ya Moabi ebukani mpe loboko na ye ekatani, » elobi Yawe.
26 Make the people of Moab drunk, because they defied the Lord. Then they will roll around in their own vomit, as people laugh at them.
« Bolangwisa ye masanga, pamba te abetaki tembe na Yawe! Tala ye Moabi ndenge azali kobaluka kati na bisanza na ye! Tika ete, ye mpe, akoma eloko ya maseki!
27 Didn't you Moabites used to ridicule the Israelites? But they weren't ever found to be thieves, were they? Yet whenever you talk about them, you shake your heads in contempt.
Boni, Isalaele azalaki eloko ya maseki te na miso na bino? Bokangaki ye kati na miyibi mpo ete bokoma koseka ye tango nyonso bokolobela kombo na ye?
28 You people living in Moab, run from your towns, go and live among the rocks. Be like a dove nesting on the cliffs at the entrance to a ravine.
Bino bavandi ya Moabi, bosundola bingumba na bino mpe bokende kovanda kati na mabanga! Bozala lokola ebenga oyo etongaka zala na yango kati na mabanga.
29 We know all about how pompous Moabites are, how extremely proud and conceited they are, arrogantly thinking so highly of themselves.
Toyokaki sango ya lolendo ya Moabi, lolendo oyo eleka penza ndelo! Tala ndenge amatisaka mapeka! Atondi na lofundu, azali na monoko makasi, mpe motema na ye emikitisaka te.
30 I'm well aware of how disrespectful they are, declares the Lord, but it doesn't matter. They make empty boasts, and what they do is just as empty.
Nayebi ete monoko makasi na ye ezali kaka pamba, » elobi Yawe, « mpe lolendo na ye esalaka eloko moko te.
31 So I will weep for Moab; I will cry out for all the Moabites; I will mourn for the people of Kir-heres.
Yango wana nazali kolela mpo na Moabi, nazali kolela mpo na Moabi nyonso; nazali kosala matanga mpo na bato ya Kiri-Eresheti.
32 will weep for you, people of the town of Sibmah with its vineyards, more than I weep for the town of Jazer. Your vines have spread to the sea, and all the way to Jazer. But the destroyer has stolen your harvest of summer fruit and grapes.
Oh elanga ya vino ya Sibima, nazali kolela mpo na yo ndenge engumba Yaezeri ezali kolela! Bitape na yo epanzani kino koleka mayi monene, ekomi kino na mayi monene Yaezeri. Mobebisi akweyeli mbuma ya bilanga na yo mpe mbuma ya vino na yo.
33 There's no more celebration and happiness in Moab's orchards and fields. I have stopped the grape juice flowing from the winepresses. No one shouts for joy as they tread out the grapes. No, their shouts now are not because of joy!
Esengo mpe kosepela esili kolimwa na bilanga mpe na bazamba ya Moabi; nakawusi vino kati na bikamolelo na bango, mpe moto oyo akokamola yango na esengo azali te. Atako bato bazali koganga kasi ezali makelele ya esengo te.
34 Cries for help reach from Heshbon to Elealeh and all the way to Jahaz. They're shouting out from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath-shelishiyah, for even the water in the Nimrim Brook has dried up.
Makelele mpe koganga ezali komata wuta na Eshiboni kino na Eleale mpe Yakatsi, wuta na Tsoari kino koleka Oronayimi mpe Egilati-Shelishiya; pamba te, ezala mayi ya Nimirimi esili kokawuka.
35 I'm going to finish off those in Moab who sacrifice on the pagan high places and burn incense to their gods, declares the Lord.
Nakoboma bato nyonso oyo bakendaka na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe batumbaka malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe na bango, kati na mokili ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.
36 So I mourn inside like a flute playing a sad song for Moab; like a flute playing a funeral tune for the people of Kir-heres, because they've lost everything of value that they worked for.
« Mpe motema na Ngai ezali kolela Moabi ndenge flite ebetaka, ezali kolela lokola flite mpo na bato ya Kiri-Eresheti. Bomengo na bango nyonso esili kobunga.
37 As signs of their mourning, every head is shaved, every beard is trimmed, every hand has a gash, and every waist is wearing sackcloth.
Bakokoli suki ya mito ya bato nyonso, bakati moto moko na moko mandefu mpe bazokisi moto moko na moko na loboko.
38 Everyone is mourning on all the flat roofs and streets of Moab, because I have smashed the country like a jar nobody wants, declares the Lord.
Na likolo ya bandako nyonso ya Moabi mpe na bisika nyonso oyo bato balekelaka, ezali na likambo mosusu te, kaka ebembe; pamba te nabebisi Moabi lokola eloko oyo bato balingaka te, » elobi Yawe.
39 Moab is completely shattered! Listen to them cry! See how the Moabites turn away in shame! All the surrounding nations are horrified at what's happened to the country, and ridicule its people.
« Tala ndenge nini apanzani, tala ndenge nini bazali kolela! Ndenge nini Moabi apesi mokongo na soni! Moabi akomi eloko ya kotiola, eloko ya koyoka na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazingeli ye. »
40 This is what the Lord says: Watch as an enemy like an eagle swoops down, spreading its wings as it attacks Moab.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala ndenge nini mpongo ezali kokita na elulu mpe etandi mapapu na yango likolo ya Moabi.
41 Kirioth has been conquered, and the fortresses captured. At that time Moab's warriors will be as scared as a woman in labor.
Bakobotola Kerioti mpe bandako na yango oyo batonga makasi. Na mokolo wana, mitema ya basoda ya mpiko ya Moabi ekokoma lokola motema ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
42 Moab will cease to exist as a nation because they defied the Lord.
Mokili ya Moabi ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu ekolo te; pamba te ebetaki tembe na Yawe.
43 You people living in Moab, what's waiting for you are terror, traps, and snares, declares the Lord.
Somo, libulu mpe motambo ezali kozela bino bato ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.
44 You will run away in terror and fall into a trap, and when you climb out of the trap, you'll be caught in a snare. I will do this to the Moabites at the time when they're punished, declares the Lord.
« Moto nyonso oyo akokima somo akokweya na libulu, mpe moto nyonso oyo akobima na libulu akokangama na motambo, pamba te nakoyeisa mobu ya etumbu na mokili ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.
45 Those who run away will be left defenseless in Heshbon where they went for protection, because fire blazes out from Heshbon, a fire from where Sihon once reigned. It burns up the whole country of Moab and its defiant people.
« Bato oyo bazali kokima bakozanga lisungi na elili ya engumba ya Eshiboni, pamba te moto moko ewuti na Eshiboni, moto ebimi na ndako ya mokonzi Sikoni, etumbi bandako batonga makasi ya Moabi mpe mito ya bato ya lolendo.
46 What a disaster has come to you Moabites! The people of Chemosh have been wiped out. Your sons and daughters have been taken prisoner and have gone into exile.
Oh Moabi, mawa na yo! Bato ya Kemoshi babebisami, bana na yo ya mibali bakangami na bowumbu, mpe bana na yo ya basi bakokende na bowumbu!
47 But even so, later on, I will bring the people of Moab back from exile, declares the Lord. This is the end of the description of the judgment on Moab.
Nzokande, na mikolo ekoya, nakozongisa lokumu ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe. Kosambisama ya Moabi esuki awa.
