Jeremiah 12
1 O Lord, if I dispute with thee, thou art righteous: yet let mee talke with thee of thy iudgements: wherefore doeth the way of the wicked prosper? why are all they in wealth that rebelliously transgresse?
Oh Yawe, ozalaka tango nyonso sembo; mpe ngai nakokoka kosamba na Yo te. Nzokande nalingi kotuna Yo mwa mituna na tina na oyo etali bosembo na Yo. Mpo na nini misala ya bato mabe ekendaka liboso? Mpo na nini bato oyo batosaka Yo te bazalaka na bomoi ya kimia?
2 Thou hast planted them, and they haue taken roote: they grow, and bring forth fruite: thou art neere in their mouth, and farre from their reines.
Olonaki bango mpe bazwi misisa; bazali kokola mpe kobota mbuma. Ozali tango nyonso pene ya minoko na bango, kasi mosika ya mitema na bango.
3 But thou, Lord, knowest me: thou hast seene me, and tried mine heart towarde thee: pull them out like sheepe for the slaughter, and prepare them for the day of slaughter.
Nzokande, oh Yawe, oyebi ngai, omonaka ngai mpe oyebi makanisi ya motema na ngai mpo na Yo. Tindika bango lokola bameme oyo babongisi mpo na koboma! Bongisa bango mpo na mokolo ya kufa.
4 Howe long shall the lande mourne, and the herbes of euery fielde wither, for the wickednesse of them that dwell therein? the beastes are consumed and the birdes, because they sayd, He wil not see our last ende.
Kino tango nini mokili ekowumela na kolela mpe matiti ya bilanga nyonso ekowumela ya kokawuka? Banyama mpe bandeke esili kokufa mpo ete bavandi ya mokili bazali mabe. Balobaka: « Yawe akoyeba te makambo oyo ekokomela biso. »
5 If thou hast runne with the footemen and they haue wearied thee, then howe canst thou match thy selfe with horses? and if thou thoughtest thy selfe safe in a peaceable lande, what wilt thou do in the swelling of Iorden?
Soki ozali kosala momekano ya kokima mbangu elongo na bato oyo bazali kotambola na makolo, mpe bango bazali komelisa yo pema, ndenge nini okoki komekana na bato oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda? Soki ozali komitungisa na mokili oyo ezali na kimia, ekozala boni liboso ya mpela ya ebale Yordani?
6 For euen thy brethren, and the house of thy father, euen they haue delt vnfaithfully with thee, and they haue cryed out altogether vpon thee: but beleeue them not, though they speake faire to thee.
Pamba te ezala bandeko na yo mpe bato ya libota na yo moko bateki yo, bazali koganga makasi mpo na kotelemela yo. Kotiela bango motema te, ata tango bazali kobimisa maloba kitoko mpo na yo.
7 I haue forsaken mine house: I haue left mine heritage: I haue giuen the dearely beloued of my soule into the hands of her enemies.
Nakobosana libota na ngai, nakosundola libula na ngai, nakokaba molingami na ngai na maboko ya banguna na ye.
8 Mine heritage is vnto mee, as a lion in the forest: it crieth out against mee, therefore haue I hated it.
Libula na ngai ekomi na miso na ngai lokola nkosi ya zamba: ezali kogangela ngai; yango wana nayini yango.
9 Shall mine heritage bee vnto mee, as a bird of diuers colours? are not the birdes about her, saying, Come, assemble all ye beastes of the fielde, come to eate her?
Boni, libula na ngai ekomi na miso na ngai lokola ndeke oyo eliaka misuni, bongo ebebi na makila, mpo ete bandeke mosusu oyo eliaka misuni eya kozingela mpe kobundisa yango? Bokende kosangisa banyama nyonso ya zamba mpe bobengisa yango mpo ete eya kolia nyama!
10 Many pastors haue destroyed my vineyarde, and troden my portion vnder foote: of my pleasant portion they haue made a desolate wildernesse.
Babateli ebele ya bibwele babebisi elanga na ngai ya vino, banyati-nyati elanga na ngai, babongoli elanga na ngai ya kitoko mabele ya kokawuka.
11 They haue layde it waste, and it, being waste, mourneth vnto me: and the whole lande lyeth waste, because no man setteth his minde on it.
Bakomisi yango esobe, etikali pamba na miso na ngai, ekomi eloko ya mawa. Mokili mobimba ebebisami, pamba te moto moko te azali lisusu komema yango na motema.
12 The destroyers are come vpon all the high places in the wildernesse: for the sworde of the Lord shall deuoure from the one end of the land, euen to the other ende of the lande: no flesh shall haue peace.
Babebisi bakobimela na likolo ya bangomba nyonso ya esobe, pamba te mopanga ya Yawe ekoboma mokili mobimba; moto moko te akozala na kimia.
13 They haue sowen wheate, and reaped thornes: they were sicke, and had no profite: and they were ashamed of your fruites, because of the fierce wrath of the Lord.
Bakolona ble, kasi bakobuka banzube; bakobimisa mitoki na mosala, kasi bakozwa litomba ya malonga te. Boye, boyokela mbuma ya bilanga na bino soni, mpo na kanda makasi ya Yawe.
14 Thus sayeth the Lord against all mine euill neighbours, that touch the inheritance, which I haue caused my people Israel to inherite, Beholde, I will plucke them out of their lande, and plucke out the house of Iudah from among them.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakobengana bato mabe oyo bavandaka zingazinga ya ekolo na Ngai, oyo bazali kobundisa libula oyo napesaki bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe nakolongola ekolo ya Yuda kati na bango.
15 And after that I haue plucked them out, I will returne, and haue compassion on them, and will bring againe euery man to his heritage, and euery man to his land.
Kasi sima na Ngai kobengana bango, nakoyokela bango lisusu mawa mpe nakozongisa moko na moko kati na libula na ye mpe kati na mokili na ye.
16 And if they will learne the wayes of my people, to sweare by my Name, (The Lord liueth, as they taught my people to sweare by Baal) then shall they be built in the middes of my people.
Mpe soki bayekoli malamu bizaleli ya bato na Ngai mpe balapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, na maloba oyo: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe, › ndenge balakisaki bato na Ngai kolapa ndayi na kombo ya Bala, nakopesa bango esika kati na bato na Ngai.
17 But if they will not obey, then will I vtterly plucke vp, and destroy that nation, sayeth the Lord.
Kasi ekolo oyo ekoyoka te, nakobengana bango nyonso mpe nakobebisa bango, » elobi Yawe.
