Jeremiah 16
1 The word of YHWH came also unto me, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 Thou shalt not take thee a wife, neither shalt thou have sons or daughters in this place.
« Okobala te mpe okotikala kobota bana mibali to bana basi na esika oyo te. »
3 For thus saith YHWH concerning the sons and concerning the daughters that are born in this place, and concerning their mothers that bare them, and concerning their fathers that begat them in this land;
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na bana mibali mpe bana basi oyo bakobotama na mboka oyo, mpe na tina na basi oyo bazali bamama na bango mpe mibali oyo bazali batata na bango:
4 They shall die of grievous deaths; they shall not be lamented; neither shall they be buried; but they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth: and they shall be consumed by the sword, and by famine; and their carcases shall be meat for the fowls of heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
« Bakokufa na kufa ya somo, bakolela bango te mpe bakokunda bango te, kasi bakozala lokola matiti ya kopola na mabele. Bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, bongo bibembe na bango ekokoma bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba. »
5 For thus saith YHWH, Enter not into the house of mourning, neither go to lament nor bemoan them: for I have taken away my peace from this people, saith YHWH, even lovingkindness and mercies.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Kokota na ndako oyo ezali na matanga te, kokende na matanga te mpe koyokela bato oyo bazali na matanga mawa te, pamba te nalongoli kimia na Ngai, bolingo na Ngai mpe mawa na Ngai epai ya bato oyo, » elobi Yawe,
6 Both the great and the small shall die in this land: they shall not be buried, neither shall men lament for them, nor cut themselves, nor make themselves bald for them:
« ezala mikolo to bana mike, bango nyonso bakosila kokufa kati na mokili oyo. Bakokunda bango te mpe bakosalela bango matanga te, bongo moto moko te akomikata banzoloko to kokokola suki ya moto mpo na bango.
7 Neither shall men tear themselves for them in mourning, to comfort them for the dead; neither shall men give them the cup of consolation to drink for their father or for their mother.
Moto moko te akopesa bilei mpo na kobondisa bato oyo bazali na matanga sima na kufa, mpe moto moko te akopesa bango masanga mpo na kobondisa bango, ezala ata mpo na kufa ya batata to ya bamama na bango.
8 Thou shalt not also go into the house of feasting, to sit with them to eat and to drink.
Mpe kokota te na ndako oyo bazali kosala feti mpo na kovanda mpe komela,
9 For thus saith YHWH of hosts, the Elohim of Israel; Behold, I will cause to cease out of this place in your eyes, and in your days, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride.
pamba te tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nakosilisa kati na esika oyo, na miso na bino mpe na tango na bino, makelele ya esengo mpe makelele ya kosepela, mingongo ya babalani mpe ya babandami na libala.
10 And it shall come to pass, when thou shalt shew this people all these words, and they shall say unto thee, Wherefore hath YHWH pronounced all this great evil against us? or what is our iniquity? or what is our sin that we have committed against YHWH our Elohim?
Tango okotatola maloba oyo nyonso na bato oyo, soki batuni yo: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe akateli biso etumbu ya pasi makasi boye? Mabe nini tosalaki Ye? Masumu nini tosalaki liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso? ›
11 Then shalt thou say unto them, Because your fathers have forsaken me, saith YHWH, and have walked after other elohim, and have served them, and have worshipped them, and have forsaken me, and have not kept my law;
Okoloba na bango: ‹ Ezali mpo ete batata na bino basundolaki Ngai, › elobi Yawe, ‹ basalaki banzambe ya bapaya, basalelaki yango mpe bafukamelaki yango. Batikaki Ngai mpe babatelaki Mobeko na Ngai te.
12 And ye have done worse than your fathers; for, behold, ye walk every one after the imagination of his evil heart, that they may not hearken unto me:
Bongo bino, bozali mpe kotambola na ezaleli mabe koleka ata ezaleli mabe ya batata na bino. Botala ndenge nini moko na moko kati na bino azali kolanda makanisi mabe ya motema na ye, na esika ya kotosa Ngai.
13 Therefore will I cast you out of this land into a land that ye know not, neither ye nor your fathers; and there shall ye serve other elohim day and night; where I will not shew you favour.
Yango wana, nakobwaka bino libanda ya mokili oyo mpe nakomema bino na mokili oyo, ezala bino to batata na bino, botikala koyeba te; mpe kuna, bokosalela banzambe ya bapaya, butu mpe moyi; pamba te nakoyokela bino mawa te. ›
14 Therefore, behold, the days come, saith YHWH, that it shall no more be said, YHWH liveth, that brought up the children of Israel out of the land of Egypt;
Yango wana, na mikolo oyo ezali koya, » elobi Yawe, « bato bakotika koloba: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe oyo abimisaki bana ya Isalaele na Ejipito; ›
15 But, YHWH liveth, that brought up the children of Israel from the land of the north, and from all the lands whither he had driven them: and I will bring them again into their land that I gave unto their fathers.
kasi bakokoma koloba: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe oyo abimisaki bana ya Isalaele na mokili ya nor mpe na mikili nyonso epai wapi abenganaki bango. › Nakozongisa bango na mokili na bango, mokili oyo napesaki bakoko na bango.
16 Behold, I will send for many fishers, saith YHWH, and they shall fish them; and after will I send for many hunters, and they shall hunt them from every mountain, and from every hill, and out of the holes of the rocks.
Solo, nakotinda balobi mbisi ebele, » elobi Yawe, « mpe bakoboma mbisi ebele; bato ya bokila ebele mpe bakoboma banyama ebele na likolo ya bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe ya mikuse kino kati na madusu ya mabanga.
17 For mine eyes are upon all their ways: they are not hid from my face, neither is their iniquity hid from mine eyes.
Nazali kotala malamu banzela na bango nyonso; moto moko te akoki kobombama na miso na Ngai, mpe masumu na bango ekoki ata moke te kobombama na miso na Ngai.
18 And first I will recompense their iniquity and their sin double; because they have defiled my land, they have filled mine inheritance with the carcases of their detestable and abominable things.
Nakofutisa bango mbala mibale lifuti ya mabe na bango mpe ya masumu na bango, pamba te bakomisi mokili na Ngai mbindo na nzela ya bililingi mpe ya bikeko na bango oyo ezanga bomoi, mpe batondisi libula na Ngai na banzambe na bango ya bikeko mpe ya nkele. »
19 O YHWH, my strength, and my fortress, and my refuge in the day of affliction, the Gentiles shall come unto thee from the ends of the earth, and shall say, Surely our fathers have inherited lies, vanity, and things wherein there is no profit.
Oh Yawe, Makasi na ngai mpe Ndako na ngai batonga makasi, Ekimelo na ngai na tango ya pasi, bato ya bikolo nyonso bakoya epai na Yo wuta na basuka ya mokili mpe bakoloba: « Batata na biso bazalaki kaka na banzambe ya lokuta, banzambe ya pamba oyo etikalaki kosalela bango bolamu ata moko te.
20 Shall a man make elohim unto himself, and they are no elohim?
Boni, bato bakoki solo komisalela banzambe, tango bango moko bazali banzambe te?
21 Therefore, behold, I will this once cause them to know, I will cause them to know mine hand and my might; and they shall know that my name is YHWH.
Yango wana, nakolakisa bango, nakolakisa bango nguya mpe makasi na ngai; bongo bakoyeba penza ete Kombo na Ngai ezali Yawe. »
