Jeremiah 17
1 The sinne of Iudah is written with a pen of yron, and with the poynt of a diamonde, and grauen vpon the table of their heart, and vpon the hornes of your altars.
« Masumu ya Yuda ezali lokola makomi oyo bakoma na ekomeli ya ebende oyo ezali na songe ya diama; bakoma yango na bitando ya mitema na bango mpe na maseke ya bitumbelo na bango.
2 They remember their altars as their children, with their groues by the greene trees vpon the hilles.
Ndenge bakanisaka bana na bango ya mibali, ndenge wana mpe bakanisaka bitumbelo na bango mpe makonzi ya Ashera, nzambe mwasi, pembeni ya banzete ya mibesu na likolo ya bangomba.
3 O my mountaine in the fielde, I will giue thy substance, and all thy treasures to be spoyled, for the sinne of thy high places throughout all thy borders.
Oh ngomba na Ngai kati na mokili, nakokaba lokola bomengo ya bitumba: biloko na yo, bozwi na yo nyonso mpe bisambelo na yo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na masumu oyo osalaki kati na mokili na yo.
4 And thou shalt rest, and in thee shall be a rest from thine heritage that I gaue thee, and I will cause thee to serue thine enemies in the land, which thou knowest not: for yee haue kindled a fire in mine anger, which shall burne for euer.
Likolo ya mabe na yo, okobungisa libula oyo napesaki yo, nakokomisa yo mowumbu ya banguna na yo kati na mokili oyo oyebi te; pamba te opelisi kanda na Ngai, mpe ekopela mpo na libela. »
5 Thus saith the Lord, Cursed be the man that trusteth in man, and maketh flesh his arme, and withdraweth his heart from the Lord.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tika ete moto oyo atiaka elikya na moto, oyo ayekamelaka eloko ya pete mpe atalelaka Yawe te, alakelama mabe!
6 For he shall be like the heath in the wildernesse, and shall not see when any good commeth, but shall inhabite the parched places in the wildernesse, in a salt land, and not inhabited.
Akozala lokola mwa nzete ekawuka kati na esobe; akomona bolamu te tango ekoya, akovanda na bisika ya kokawuka ya esobe, na mokili ya mungwa epai wapi bato bazalaka te.
7 Blessed be the man, that trusteth in ye Lord, and whose hope the Lord is.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo atiaka elikya na Yawe mpe atalelaka Ye apambolama!
8 For he shall be as a tree that is planted by the water, which spreadeth out her rootes by the riuer, and shall not feele when the heate commeth, but her leafe shall be greene, and shall not care for the yeere of drought, neyther shall cease from yeelding fruit.
Akozala lokola nzete oyo balona pembeni ya mayi, oyo epanzaka misisa na yango kino na mayi: ezalaka na somo ya moyi makasi te; makasa na yango ezalaka kaka mibesu tango nyonso. Ezalaka na somo ya koya ya mobu ya bokawuki te mpe ebotaka mbuma tango nyonso. »
9 The heart is deceitfull and wicked aboue all things, who can knowe it?
Motema eleki biloko nyonso na lokuta mpe ekoki kobika te; nani akoki koyeba yango?
10 I the Lord search the heart, and try ye reines, euen to giue euery man according to his wayes, and according to the fruite of his workes.
« Ngai Yawe, nayebi motema mpe nasosolaka malamu makanisi na yango, mpo na kofuta moto na moto kolanda etamboli mpe misala na ye. »
11 As the partryche gathereth the yong, which she hath not brought forth: so he that getteth riches, and not by right, shall leaue them in the middes of his dayes, and at his ende shall bee a foole.
Moto oyo azwaka bomengo na nzela ya sembo te azali lokola ndeke oyo evandeli maki ya ndeke mosusu. Boye, bomengo yango ekokima na kati-kati ya bomoi na ye mpe ekomonisa bozoba na ye na suka ya bomoi na ye.
12 As a glorious throne exalted from the beginning, so is the place of our Sanctuarie.
Kiti ya Bokonzi ya nkembo, oyo enetolama wuta na ebandeli ezali nde Esika na biso ya bule.
13 O Lord, the hope of Israel, all that forsake thee, shall be confounded: they that depart from thee, shalbe written in the earth, because they haue forsaken the Lord, the fountaine of liuing waters.
Oh Yawe, Elikya ya Isalaele, bato nyonso oyo basundolaka Yo bakufaka soni, bato oyo bapesaka yo mokongo bakufaka, pamba te basundoli Yawe, Etima ya mayi na bomoi.
14 Heale me, O Lord, and I shall bee whole: saue me, and I shall bee saued: for thou art my prayse.
Oh Yawe, bikisa ngai mpe nakobika; Oh Yawe, kangola ngai mpe nakokangolama, mpo ete nakumisaka nde Yo!
15 Behold, they say vnto me, Where is the word of the Lord? let it come nowe.
Tala, bato oyo bazali koloba na ngai: « Wapi Liloba na Yawe? Tika ete ekokisama sik’oyo! »
16 But I haue not thrust in my selfe for a pastour after thee, neither haue I desired the day of miserie, thou knowest: that which came out of my lips, was right before thee.
Nzokande, naboyaki te kozala mobateli bibwele oyo alandaka nzela na Yo. Oyebi malamu ete nazalaki na posa ya komona mokolo ya pasi te. Maloba oyo ebimaka na monoko na ngai ebimaka nde liboso na Yo.
17 Be not terrible vnto mee: thou art mine hope in the day of aduersitie.
Kobangisa ngai te, pamba te ozali Ekimelo na ngai na tango ya pasi!
18 Let them bee confounded, that persecute me, but let not me be confounded: let them be afraide, but let not me be afraide: bring vpon them the day of aduersitie, and destroy them with double destruction.
Tika ete banyokoli na ngai bayokisama soni, kasi batela ngai ete nayokisama soni te! Tika ete bango balenga na somo, kasi ngai nalenga na somo te. Tindela bango mokolo ya pasi, bebisa bango malamu mbala mibale.
19 Thus hath the Lord said vnto me, Goe and stande in the gate of the children of the people, whereby the Kings of Iudah come in, and by the which they goe out, and in all ye gates of Ierusalem,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kende kotelema na ekuke ya bato, na ekuke oyo bakonzi ya Yuda bakotelaka mpe babimelaka. Kende mpe lisusu kotelema na bikuke nyonso ya Yelusalemi.
20 And say vnto them, Heare the word of the Lord, ye Kings of Iudah, and al Iudah, and all the inhabitants of Ierusale, that enter in by these gates.
Loba na bango: ‹ Oh bino bakonzi mpe bato nyonso ya Yuda elongo na bino nyonso bavandi ya Yelusalemi, bino oyo bokotelaka na bikuke oyo, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
21 Thus sayth the Lord, Take heede to your soules, and beare no burden in the Sabbath day, nor bring it in by the gates of Ierusalem.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bosala keba ete moko te kati na bino amema mikumba na mokolo ya Saba to alekisa yango na bikuke ya Yelusalemi;
22 Neither cary foorth burdens out of your houses in the Sabbath day: neither doe yee any worke, but sanctifie the Sabbath, as I commanded your fathers.
moko te kati na bino abimisa mokumba na ndako na ye to asala mosala songolo na mokolo ya Saba. Kasi bozwa mokolo yango lokola mokolo ya bule ndenge natindaki bakoko na bino.
23 But they obeied not, neither inclined their eares, but made their neckes stiffe and would not heare, nor receiue correction.
Nzokande, baboyaki koyoka, bayeisaki mito na bango makasi mpo na koboya kaka koyoka mpe kolanda mitindo na Ngai.
24 Neuerthelesse if ye will heare me, sayth the Lord, and beare no burden through the gates of the citie in the Sabbath day, but sanctifie ye Sabbath day, so that ye do no worke therein,
Kasi soki penza boyoki Ngai, elobi Yawe, soki bomemi mikumba te, soki bolekisi te mikumba na bikuke ya engumba oyo mpe soki bobulisi mokolo ya Saba, soki bosali ata mosala moko te na mokolo wana ya Saba,
25 Then shall the Kings and the princes enter in at the gates of this citie, and shall sit vpon the throne of Dauid, and shall ride vpon charets, and vpon horses, both they and their princes, the men of Iudah, and the inhabitants of Ierusalem: and this citie shall remaine for euer.
bakonzi oyo bavandaka na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi bakokotela na bikuke ya engumba oyo elongo na bakalaka na bango; bongo bango elongo na bakalaka na bango bakoya na likolo ya bashar mpe mpunda elongo na bato ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi; bongo, bato bakovanda libela na libela na engumba oyo.
26 And they shall come from the cities of Iudah, and from about Ierusalem, and from the land of Beniamin, and from the plaine, and from the mountaines, and from the South, which shall bring burnt offrings, and sacrifices, and meate offrings, and incense, and shall bring sacrifice of prayse into the house of the Lord.
Bato bakowuta na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na mboka oyo ezali pene ya Yelusalemi, na etuka ya Benjame mpe na ngambo ya weste ya bangomba mikuse, na etuka ya bangomba mpe ya Negevi; mpo na koya kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe bambeka ya kotumba, bambeka mosusu, makabo ya bambuma mpe malasi ya ansa, mpo na kobonza makabo ya kozongisa matondi, kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
27 But if ye will not heare me to sanctifie the Sabbath day, and not to beare a burden nor to go through the gates of Ierusalem in the Sabbath day, then will I kindle a fire in the gates thereof, and it shall deuoure the palaces of Ierusalem, and it shall not be quenched.
Kasi soki botosi Ngai te mpe bobulisi te mokolo ya Saba, bongo bomemi mpe bolekisi mikumba na bino na bikuke ya Yelusalemi na mokolo ya Saba, nakopelisa moto oyo ekufaka te na bikuke ya Yelusalemi mpe ekozikisa bandako na yango nyonso oyo batonga makasi. › »
