Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captaines of the hoste, and Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and Iezaniah the sonne of Hoshaaiah, and all the people from the least vnto the most came,
Bongo, bakonzi nyonso ya basoda mpe Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea; Yezania, mwana mobali Oshaya, mpe bato nyonso, kobanda na ye oyo aleki moke kino na ye oyo aleki monene, bapusanaki
2 And saide vnto Ieremiah the Prophete, Heare our prayer, we beseeche thee, and pray for vs vnto the Lord thy God, euen for all this remnant (for we are left, but a fewe of many, as thine eyes doe beholde)
pene ya mosakoli Jeremi mpe balobaki na ye: — Tosengi na yo, tika ete libondeli na biso ekoma liboso na yo: « Sambela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo na biso bato oyo totikali; pamba te ndenge ozali komona yango, tozalaki ebele, kasi sik’oyo totikali kaka moke.
3 That the Lord thy God may shewe vs the way wherein wee may walke, and the thing that we may doe.
Bondela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo ete ayebisa biso esika nini tosengeli kokende mpe makambo nini tosengeli kosala. »
4 Then Ieremiah the Prophet said vnto them, I haue heard you: behold, I will pray vnto ye Lord your God according to your wordes, and whatsoeuer thing the Lord shall answere you, I will declare it vnto you: I will keepe nothing backe from you.
Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na bango: — Nayoki bino! Nakobondela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, ndenge ezali bosenga na bino; mpe nakoyebisa bino makambo nyonso oyo Yawe akoloba, nakobombela bino ata likambo moko te.
5 Then they said to Ieremiah, The Lord be a witnesse of trueth, and faith betweene vs, if we doe not, euen according to all things for ye which the Lord thy God shall send thee to vs.
Balobaki na Jeremi: — Tika ete Yawe azala motatoli ya solo mpe ya sembo mpo na kopesa biso etumbu soki toboyi kotosa makambo nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na yo, akopesa yo mokumba ya koyebisa biso.
6 Whether it be good or euill, we will obey the voyce of the Lord God, to whom we sende thee that it may be well with vs, when wee obey the voyce of the Lord our God.
Ezala esepelisi biso to te, tokotosa kaka Yawe, Nzambe na biso, oyo topesi yo mokumba ya kotuna. Na bongo, makambo nyonso ekotambola malamu mpo na biso, pamba te tokotosa Yawe, Nzambe na biso.
7 And so after ten dayes came the word of the Lord vnto Ieremiah.
Sima na mikolo zomi, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi;
8 Then called he Iohanan the sonne of Kareah, and all the captaines of the hoste, which were with him, and all ye people from ye least to the most,
mpe Jeremi abengaki Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea; bakonzi nyonso ya basoda oyo bazalaki elongo na ye mpe bato nyonso, kobanda na ye oyo aleki moke kino na ye oyo aleki monene.
9 And saide vnto them, Thus saith the Lord God of Israel, vnto whom ye sent me to present your prayers before him,
Alobaki na bango: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi, Ye oyo epai ya nani botindaki ngai mpo na kokomisa libondeli na bino:
10 If ye will dwell in this land, then I wil build you, and not destroy you, and I will plant you, and not roote you out: for I repent me of the euill that I haue done vnto you.
« Soki botikali kati na mokili oyo, nakobikisa bino mpe nakobebisa bino te; nakolona bino mpe nakopikola bino te, pamba te etumbu ya pasi oyo natindeli bino esali Ngai pasi na motema.
11 Feare not for the King of Babel, of whom ye are afraide: be not afraid of him, saith the Lord: for I am with you, to saue you, and to deliuer you from his hand,
Bobanga lisusu te mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo bozali kobanga lelo; bobanga ye te, » elobi Yawe, « pamba te nazali elongo na bino mpo na kobikisa bino mpe mpo na kokangola bino na maboko na ye.
12 And I will graunt you mercie that he may haue compassion vpon you, and he shall cause you to dwell in your owne land.
Nakotalisa bino ngolu mpo ete ayokela bino mawa mpe azongisa bino na mokili na bino. »
13 But if ye say, We will not dwell in this land, neither heare the voyce of the Lord your God,
Nzokande, soki bolobi: « Tokovanda na biso kati na mokili oyo te, » soki botosi te Yawe, Nzambe na bino,
14 Saying, Nay, but we will goe into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no warre, nor heare the sounde of the trumpet, nor haue hunger of bread, and there will we dwell,
mpe soki bolobi: « Te! Tokokende nde kovanda na Ejipito epai wapi tokomona lisusu bitumba te, tokoyoka lisusu lolaka ya kelelo te mpe tokokufa lisusu nzala te; »
15 (And nowe therefore heare the worde of the Lord, ye remnant of Iudah: thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, If ye set your faces to enter into Egypt, and goe to dwell there)
wana bino batikali ya Yuda, boyoka malamu Liloba na Yawe: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Soki botingami kaka kokende na Ejipito mpe soki bokeyi kovanda kuna,
16 Then the sworde that ye feared, shall take you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, for the which ye care, shall there hang vpon you in Egypt, and there shall ye die.
mopanga oyo bozali kobanga ekokweyela bino kuna, na Ejipito; nzala oyo bozali kobanga ekolanda bino kuna, na Ejipito, mpe ezali kuna nde bokokufa.
17 And all the men that set their faces to enter into Egypt to dwell there, shall die by ye sword, by the famine and by the pestilence, and none of them shall remaine nor escape from the plague, that I will bring vpon them.
Solo, bato nyonso oyo bakotingama kokende kaka kovanda na Ejipito bakokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka; moko te kati na bango akotikala na bomoi mpe akobika na pasi oyo nakotindela bango. ›
18 For thus saith the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, As mine anger and my wrath hath bene powred foorth vpon the inhabitants of Ierusalem: so shall my wrath be powred foorth vpon you, when ye shall enter into Egypt, and ye shall be a detestation, and an astonishment, and a curse and a reproche, and ye shall see this place no more.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Ndenge kanda mpe kotomboka na Ngai epelelaki bavandi ya Yelusalemi, ndenge wana mpe nakopelisela bino kanda na Ngai tango bokokende na Ejipito. Bokokoma ndakisa mpo na koloba maloba ya bosoloka, eloko ya koyoka somo, eloko ya lisuma mpe ya kotiola; mpe bokotikala komona lisusu esika oyo te. ›
19 O ye remnant of Iudah, the Lord hath said concerning you, Goe not into Egypt: knowe certeinely that I haue admonished you this day.
Oh bino batikali ya Yuda, Yawe azali koloba na bino: ‹ Bokende na Ejipito te! › Bososola malamu likambo oyo: ngai nazali nde kokebisa bino lelo
20 Surely ye dissembled in your hearts When ye sent me vnto the Lord your God, saying, Pray for vs vnto the Lord our God, and declare vnto vs euen according vnto al that the Lord our God shall say, and we will doe it.
ete bozali kosala libunga monene tango bozali kotinda ngai epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na maloba oyo: ‹ Bondela mpo na biso Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe yebisa biso makambo nyonso oyo Yawe akoloba; tokosalela yango. ›
21 Therefore I haue this day declared it you, but you haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord your God, nor any thing for the which he hath sent me vnto you.
Na mokolo kaka ya lelo, nayebisi bino yango, kasi boboyi lisusu kotosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino, na nyonso oyo atindi ngai koyebisa bino.
22 Nowe therefore, knowe certeinely that ye shall die by the sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place whither ye desire to goe and dwell.
Boye, boyeba sik’oyo malamu likambo oyo: bokokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka na esika oyo bolingi kokende mpo na kovanda. »
