Jeremiah 10
1 Hear ye the word which the LORD speaketh unto you, O house of Israel:
Eh libota ya Isalaele, yoka liloba oyo Yawe azali koloba na yo!
2 Thus saith the LORD, Learn not the way of the heathen, and be not dismayed at the signs of heaven; for the heathen are dismayed at them.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Kolanda bizaleli ya bikolo ya bapaya te mpe kobanga bilembo ya likolo te ata soki ezali kobangisa bato ya bikolo.
3 For the customs of the people [are] vain: for [one] cutteth a tree out of the forest, the work of the hands of the workman, with the axe.
Pamba te bizaleli ya bikolo ya bapaya ezali se pamba, banzambe na bango ezali se banzete ya pamba oyo bakataka kati na zamba, bongo moto ya misala ya maboko nde abongisaka yango na bambeli na ye.
4 They deck it with silver and with gold; they fasten it with nails and with hammers, that it move not.
Bapakolaka yango palata mpe wolo, babetaka yango basete na marto mpo ete eningana te.
5 They [are] upright as the palm tree, but speak not: they must needs be borne, because they cannot go. Be not afraid of them; for they cannot do evil, neither also [is it] in them to do good.
Banzambe yango ya bikeko ezali lokola bikeko oyo batiaka na elanga ya bapasiteki mpo na kokimisa bandeke: elobaka te, bamemaka yango mpo ete etambolaka te. Kobanga yango te, pamba te ekokaka kosala bato mabe to malamu te. »
6 Forasmuch as [there is] none like unto thee, O LORD; thou [art] great, and thy name [is] great in might.
Eh Yawe, moko te akokani na Yo! Ozali monene, mpe Kombo na Yo ezali na nguya monene.
7 Who would not fear thee, O King of nations? for to thee doth it appertain: forasmuch as among all the wise [men] of the nations, and in all their kingdoms, [there is] none like unto thee.
Oh Mokonzi ya bikolo, nani akoki koboya kotosa Yo? Obongi na lokumu, pamba te moko te azali lokola Yo kati na bato nyonso ya bwanya ya bikolo mpe kati na mikili na bango nyonso.
8 But they are altogether brutish and foolish: the stock [is] a doctrine of vanities.
Bango nyonso bazangi mayele mpe bazali bazoba; mateya na bango ezalaka ya pamba, mpe banzambe na bango ezalaka se banzete ya pamba!
9 Silver spread into plates is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz, the work of the workman, and of the hands of the founder: blue and purple [is] their clothing: they [are] all the work of cunning [men].
Bapakola yango palata balekisa na moto, oyo ewuta na Tarsisi, mpe wolo oyo ewuta na Ufazi; bato oyo basalaka bililingi na banzete mpe ba-oyo balambaka bibende na moto nde basalaka yango: balatisaka yango bilamba ya langi ya ble mpe ya motane; ezali misala ya bato oyo basalaka misala ya maboko, oyo bayebi penza mosala malamu.
10 But the LORD [is] the true God, he [is] the living God, and an everlasting king: at his wrath the earth shall tremble, and the nations shall not be able to abide his indignation.
Kasi Yawe azali Nzambe ya solo, Nzambe na bomoi mpe Mokonzi ya seko. Soki asiliki, mokili eninganaka, bikolo ekokoka te kotelema liboso ya kanda na Ye.
11 Thus shall ye say unto them, The gods that have not made the heavens and the earth, [even] they shall perish from the earth, and from under these heavens.
Tala maloba oyo bokoloba na bango: « Banzambe oyo esala te likolo mpe mabele ekolimwa na mabele mpe na se ya likolo. »
12 He hath made the earth by his power, he hath established the world by his wisdom, and hath stretched out the heavens by his discretion.
Kasi Yawe asala mabele na nguya na Ye, alendisa mokili na bwanya na Ye mpe atanda likolo na mayele na Ye.
13 When he uttereth his voice, [there is] a multitude of waters in the heavens, and he causeth the vapours to ascend from the ends of the earth; he maketh lightnings with rain, and bringeth forth the wind out of his treasures.
Tango agangaka, mayi etiaka makelele makasi kuna na likolo, asangisaka mapata wuta na basuka ya mokili, apelisaka mikalikali, anokisaka mvula mpe abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na Ye.
14 Every man is brutish in [his] knowledge: every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image [is] falsehood, and [there is] no breath in them.
Bato nyonso bakomaka lokola bazoba, lokola bato oyo basili mayele; monyangwisi bibende na moto atikalaka na soni likolo na bikeko na ye, pamba te bikeko na ye ezalaka na yango biloko ya lokuta, ezalaka na pema te kati na yango.
15 They [are] vanity, [and] the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
Ezali biloko ya pamba, biloko ya kotiola; ekolimwa na tango ya kosambisama.
16 The portion of Jacob [is] not like them: for he [is] the former of all [things; ] and Israel [is] the rod of his inheritance: The LORD of hosts [is] his name.
Kasi Ye oyo azali libula ya Jakobi akokani na bikeko wana te, pamba te azali Mokeli ya biloko nyonso, ezala ata Isalaele, ekolo oyo ezali libula na Ye; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
17 Gather up thy wares out of the land, O inhabitant of the fortress.
Yo ekolo oyo bazingeli, kamata bisaka na yo mpe bima na mokili!
18 For thus saith the LORD, Behold, I will sling out the inhabitants of the land at this once, and will distress them, that they may find [it so].
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Ya mbala oyo, nakobengana bavandi ya mokili oyo mpe nakotindela bango pasi mpo ete bakanga bango. »
19 Woe is me for my hurt! my wound is grievous: but I said, Truly this [is] a grief, and I must bear it.
Mawa na ngai, pamba te nazoki makasi na motema! Pota na ngai ezali kosila te! Namilobelaki: « Ezali pasi na ngai moko, esengeli na ngai kokanga motema. »
20 My tabernacle is spoiled, and all my cords are broken: my children are gone forth of me, and they [are] not: [there is] none to stretch forth my tent any more, and to set up my curtains.
Ndako na ngai ya kapo ebebisami, basinga na yango nyonso ekatani, bamemi bana na ngai ya mibali, natikali lisusu ata na mwana moko te. Nazali lisusu na moto ata moko te oyo akotelemisela ngai ndako ya kapo to akobongisela ngai esika ya kovanda.
21 For the pastors are become brutish, and have not sought the LORD: therefore they shall not prosper, and all their flocks shall be scattered.
Pamba te bakambi bazangaki mayele, balukaki Yawe te; yango wana, balongaki te, mpe bato nyonso oyo bango bazalaki kokamba bapanzanaki.
22 Behold, the noise of the bruit is come, and a great commotion out of the north country, to make the cities of Judah desolate, [and] a den of dragons.
Boyoka! Makelele moko ezali koya, lokito moko ya makasi ewuti na mokili ya nor, ekosilisa bato kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe ekokomisa yango bandako ya mbwa ya zamba.
23 O LORD, I know that the way of man [is] not in himself: [it is] not in man that walketh to direct his steps.
Oh Yawe, nayebi ete moto moko te azali mokonzi ya bomoi na ye; moto oyo azali kotambola azali na bokonzi te ya kokamba matambe na ye.
24 O LORD, correct me, but with judgment; not in thine anger, lest thou bring me to nothing.
Oh Yawe, pesa biso etumbu oyo ekoki na biso; kasi kopesa yango na kanda te, noki te okosilisa koboma biso.
25 Pour out thy fury upon the heathen that know thee not, and upon the families that call not on thy name: for they have eaten up Jacob, and devoured him, and consumed him, and have made his habitation desolate.
Sopa kanda na Yo likolo ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo endimaka Yo te, likolo ya bato oyo babelelaka Kombo na Yo te, pamba te babebisi Jakobi, babebisi ye mobimba mpe bapanzi mokili na ye.
