Jeremiah 9
1 Oh, that mine head were full of water and mine eyes a fountaine of teares, that I might weepe day and night for the slayne of the daughter of my people.
Ah! Soki moto na ngai ezalaki etima, mpe soki miso na ngai ezalaki liziba ya mpinzoli, nalingaki kolela butu mpe moyi mpo na bato na ngai, oyo basili koboma.
2 Oh, that I had in the wildernes a cottage of wayfaring men, that I might leaue my people, and go from them: for they be all adulterers and an assembly of rebels,
Ah! Soki nazalaki ata na ndako ya bapaya kati na esobe, nalingaki ata kokima bato na ngai mpe kozala mosika na bango, pamba te bango nyonso bazali bandumba, bazali lisanga ya bakosi!
3 And they bende their tongues like their bowes for lyes: but they haue no courage for the trueth vpon the earth: for they proceede from euill to worse, and they haue not knowen mee, sayth the Lord.
« Babongisaka lolemo na bango lokola tolotolo mpo na kokosa; balongaka kati na mokili na nzela ya solo te, pamba te basalaka se mabe likolo ya mabe mpe batosaka Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
4 Let euery one take heede of his neighbour, and trust you not in any brother: for euery brother will vse deceite, and euery friend will deale deceitfully,
« Tika ete moto na moto asala keba na moninga na ye mpe atia motema te na ndeko na ye, pamba te ndeko nyonso azali moto ya lokuta, mpe moninga nyonso azali moto ya matongi.
5 And euery one wil deceiue his friende, and wil not speake the trueth: for they haue taught their tongues to speake lies, and take great paynes to do wickedly.
Moninga azali kokosa moninga na ye, mpe moto moko te azali koloba solo. Bamibongisaka mpo na koloba lokuta, babimisaka motoki na bango mpo na kosala masumu.
6 Thine habitation is in the middes of deceiuers: because of their deceit they refuse to know me, sayth the Lord.
Mosala na bango se kokosa na kokosa; mpe na lokuta na bango, baboyaka kotosa Ngai, » elobi Yawe.
7 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, Behold, I wil melt them, and trie them: for what should I els do for the daughter of my people?
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala, nakopetola mpe nakomeka bango na moto, pamba te nasala lisusu nini mpo na masumu ya bato na Ngai?
8 Their tongue is as an arow shot out, and speaketh deceite: one speaketh peaceably to his neighbour with his mouth, but in his heart hee layeth waite for him.
Lolemo na bango ezali lokola likonga oyo ebomaka, ebimisaka kaka maloba ya lokuta. Moto na moto alobaka na moninga na ye na esengo na monoko; kasi na se ya motema, atielaka ye motambo.
9 Shal I not visit them for these things, saith the Lord? or shall not my soule be auenged on such a nation as this?
Bongo na makambo ya boye, napesa bango etumbu te, » elobi Yawe? « Nazongisa mabe na mabe te na ekolo ya boye? »
10 Vpon the mountaines will I take vp a weeping and a lamentation, and vpon the fayre places of the wildernes a mourning, because they are burnt vp: so that none can passe through them, neyther can men heare the voyce of the flocke: both the foule of the aire, and the beast are fled away and gone.
Nakosala matanga mpe nakolela mpo na bangomba mpe matiti ya esobe. Nyonso esili kokawuka mpe moto moko te azali lisusu kolekela wana; ezala makelele ya bibwele to ya bandeke ezali lisusu koyokana te; bandeke ya likolo ekimi mpe banyama ya zamba esili kokende.
11 And I wil make Ierusalem an heape, and a den of dragons, and I will make the cities of Iudah waste, without an inhabitant.
« Nakokomisa Yelusalemi liboke ya mabanga oyo ebukana-bukana, ndako ya mbwa ya zamba; nakobebisa bingumba ya Yuda, bongo moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna.
12 Who is wise, to vnderstande this? and to whome the mouth of the Lord hath spoken, euen he shall declare it. Why doth the land perish, and is burnt vp like a wildernesse, that none passeth through?
Nani azali penza na bwanya mpo na kososola makambo ya boye? Nani Yawe ateyaki mpo ete alimbola yango? Mpo na nini mokili ebebisami, etikali pamba lokola esobe epai wapi moto alekaka te? »
13 And the Lord sayeth, Because they haue forsaken my Lawe, which I set before them, and haue not obeyed my voice, neither walked thereafter,
Yawe alobi: « Makambo oyo nyonso ekomeli bango mpo ete basundoli Mobeko na Ngai oyo natiaki liboso na bango, batosi Ngai te mpe basaleli malako na Ngai te.
14 But haue walked after the stubbernesse of their owne heart, and after Baalims, which their fathers taught them,
Nzokande, batiaki kaka mito makasi mpe bakobaki kolanda banzambe ya Bala oyo batata na bango balakisaki bango. »
15 Therefore thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Behold, I will feede this people with wormewood, and giue them waters of gall to drinke:
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Tala, nakoleisa bato oyo matiti ya bololo mpe nakomelisa bango mayi ya ngenge.
16 I wil scatter them also among the heathen, whom neither they nor their fathers haue knowen, and I will send a sworde after them, til I haue consumed them.
Nakopanza bango kati na bikolo oyo, ezala bango to bakoko na bango, batikalaki koyeba te; nakolanda bango na mopanga kino nakosilisa koboma bango. »
17 Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, Take heede, and call for the mourning women, that they may come, and send for skilfull women that they may come,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Botala malamu makambo oyo! Bobengisa basi oyo balelaka bibembe, bobengisa penza ba-oyo bayebi kolela malamu!
18 And let them make haste, and let them take vp a lamentation for vs, that our eyes may cast out teares and our eye liddes gush out of water.
Tika ete baya noki mpo ete bayembela biso banzembo ya mawa kino tango mpinzoli ekobima biso mpe ekotondisa miso na biso.
19 For a lamentable noyse is heard out of Zion, Howe are we destroyed, and vtterly confounded, for we haue forsaken the land, and our dwellings haue cast vs out.
Kolela ya mawa ezali koyokana wuta na Siona: ‹ Ah! Tala ndenge nini tosili kobebisama! Tala ndenge nini tosambwe! Tika ete tokima mokili na biso, pamba te bandako na biso ebebisami. › »
20 Therefore heare the worde of the Lord, O ye women, and let your eares regard the words of his mouth, and teach your daughters to mourne, and euery one her neighbour to lament.
Eh basi, boyoka Liloba na Yawe! Bofungola matoyi mpo na koyoka maloba ya monoko na Ye. Bolakisa bana na bino ya basi banzembo ya mawa mpe tika ete moko na moko ayekolisa moninga na ye nzembo ya mawa.
21 For death is come vp into our windowes, and is entred into our palaces, to destroy the children without, and the yong men in the streetes.
Kufa emati mpe ekoti na nzela ya maninisa na biso, ekoti kino na bandako na biso, oyo batonga makasi; eyei kosilisa koboma bana na babalabala, mpe bilenge mibali na bisika oyo bato ebele bokutanaka.
22 Speake, thus sayth the Lord, The carkeises of men shall lye, euen as the doung vpon the fielde, and as the handfull after the mower, and none shall gather them.
Loba: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bibembe ya bato ekolala na mabele mpe ekotikala wana lokola fimie ya bilanga, lokola liboke ya bambuma oyo mobuki bambuma atiki na sima na ye mpe moto oyo akolokota yango azali te. › »
23 Thus saith the Lord, Let not the wise man glory in his wisedome, nor the strong man glorie in his strength, neyther the riche man glorie in his riches.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tika ete moto ya bwanya amikumisa te mpo na bwanya na ye to moto ya makasi mpo na makasi na ye to moto ya bozwi mpo na bozwi na ye.
24 But let him that glorieth, glorie in this, that he vnderstandeth, and knoweth me: for I am the Lord, which shewe mercie, iudgement, and righteousnes in the earth: for in these things I delite, sayth the Lord.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo alingi komikumisa amikumisa mpo ete azali na bososoli mpe ayebi Ngai, mpo ete ayebi ete nazali Yawe oyo atalisaka bolamu, bosembo mpe boyengebene na mokili; pamba te nasepelaka nde na makambo wana, » elobi Yawe.
25 Beholde, the dayes come, sayth the Lord, that I wil visite all them, which are circumcised with the vncircumcised:
« Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakopesa etumbu na bato nyonso oyo bakatama ngenga kaka na nzoto, kasi na mitema te:
26 Egypt and Iudah, and Edom, and the children of Ammon, and Moab, and all the vtmost corners of them that dwell in the wildernesse: for all these nations are vncircumcised, and al the house of Israel are vncircumcised in the heart.
bato ya Ejipito, ya Yuda, ya Edomi, ya Amoni, ya Moabi mpe bavandi nyonso ya esobe oyo bamikataka mandefu; pamba te bato ya bikolo oyo nyonso bakatama ngenga te. Mpe ezala bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bakatama ngenga, bakatama yango kaka na bonzoto, kasi na mitema te. »
