Jeremiah 42
1 Then all the captains of the forces, and Johanan the son of Kareah, and Jezaniah the son of Hoshaiah, and all the people from the least even to the greatest, came near,
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 said to Jeremiah the prophet, Let, we beseech you, our supplication be accepted before you, and pray for us to the LORD your God, even for all this remnant; (for we are left but a few of many, as your eyes do behold us: )
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 your God may show us the way wherein we may walk, and the thing that we may do.
Bondela Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpo ete ayebisa biso esika nini tosengeli kokende mpe makambo nini tosengeli kosala. »
4 Then Jeremiah the prophet said to them, I have heard you; behold, I will pray to the LORD your God according to your words; and it shall come to pass, that whatever thing the LORD shall answer you, I will declare it to you; I will keep nothing back 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 Jeremiah, The LORD be a true and faithful witness between us, if we do not even according to all things for the which the LORD your God shall send you to us.
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 whether it be evil, we will obey the voice of the LORD our God, to whom we send you; that it may be well with us, when we obey the voice 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 it came to pass after ten days, that the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah.
Sima na mikolo zomi, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi;
8 Then called he Johanan the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces which were with him, and all the people from the least even to the greatest,
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 said to them, Thus says the LORD, the God of Israel, to whom you sent me to present your supplication 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 you will still abide in this land, then will I build you, and not pull you down, and I will plant you, and not pluck you up: for I repent me of the evil that I have done to 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 Be not afraid of the king of Babylon, of whom you are afraid; be not afraid of him, says the LORD: for I am with you to save you, and to deliver 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 show mercies to you, that he may have mercy on you, and cause you to return to your own land.
Nakotalisa bino ngolu mpo ete ayokela bino mawa mpe azongisa bino na mokili na bino. »
13 But if you say, We will not dwell in this land, neither obey the voice 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, No; but we will go into the land of Egypt, where we shall see no war, nor hear the sound of the trumpet, nor have 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 now therefore hear the word of the LORD, you remnant of Judah; Thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; If you wholly set your faces to enter into Egypt, and go to sojourn 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 it shall come to pass, that the sword, which you feared, shall overtake you there in the land of Egypt, and the famine, whereof you were afraid, shall follow close after you there in Egypt; and there you shall 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 So shall it be with all the men that set their faces to go into Egypt to sojourn there; they shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence: and none of them shall remain or escape from the evil that I will bring on 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As my anger and my fury has been poured forth on the inhabitants of Jerusalem; so shall my fury be poured forth on you, when you shall enter into Egypt: and you shall be an execration, and an astonishment, and a curse, and a reproach; and you 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 The LORD has said concerning you, O you remnant of Judah; Go you not into Egypt: know certainly that I have 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 For you dissembled in your hearts, when you sent me to the LORD your God, saying, Pray for us to the LORD our God; and according to all that the LORD our God shall say, so declare to us, and we will do 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 And now I have this day declared it to you; but you have not obeyed the voice of the LORD your God, nor any thing for the which he has sent me to 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 Now therefore know certainly that you shall die by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, in the place where you desire to go and to sojourn.
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. »
