Jeremiah 39
1 In the ninth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, in the tenth month, came Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon and all his army against Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
Tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, na sanza ya zomi, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso, ayaki kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe azingelaki yango.
2 [And] in the eleventh year of Zedekiah, in the fourth month, the ninth [day] of the month, the city was broken up.
Tango Sedesiasi akokisaki mibu zomi na moko na bokonzi, na mokolo ya libwa ya sanza ya minei, lidusu moko efungwamaki kati na mir ya engumba.
3 And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate, [even] Nergal-sharezer, Samgar-nebo, Sarsechim, Rab-saris, Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, with all the residue of the princes of the king of Babylon.
Bakalaka nyonso ya mokonzi ya Babiloni bakotaki kati na engumba mpe bayaki kovanda na Ekuke ya kati-kati. Ezalaki Nerigali-Saretseri, Samigari-Nebu; Sarisekimi, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu; Nerigali-Saretseri, mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga, mpe bakonzi mosusu ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Babiloni.
4 And it came to pass, [that] when Zedekiah the king of Judah saw them, and all the men of war, then they fled, and went forth out of the city by night, by the way of the king’s garden, by the gate betwixt the two walls: and he went out the way of the plain.
Tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe basoda nyonso bamonaki bongo, bakimaki, babimaki na engumba butu-butu, na nzela ya elanga ya mokonzi, na Ekuke oyo ezali na kati-kati ya bamir mibale; bakendeki na nzela ya lubwaku ya Yordani.
5 But the Chaldeans’ army pursued after them, and overtook Zedekiah in the plains of Jericho: and when they had taken him, they brought him up to Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon to Riblah in the land of Hamath, where he gave judgment upon him.
Kasi basoda ya Babiloni balandaki bango mpe bakangaki Sedesiasi, na etando ya Jeriko; bazwaki ye mpe bamemaki ye na Ribila, kati na mokili ya Amati, epai ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo akatelaki ye etumbu.
6 Then the king of Babylon slew the sons of Zedekiah in Riblah before his eyes: also the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Judah.
Kuna na Ribila, mokonzi ya Babiloni apesaki mitindo ete bakata, na miso na ye, mito ya bana mibali ya Sedesiasi mpe ya bankumu nyonso ya Yuda.
7 Moreover he put out Zedekiah’s eyes, and bound him with chains, to carry him to Babylon.
Apesaki lisusu mitindo ete batobola miso ya Sedesiasi, bakanga ye minyololo ya bibende ya bronze mpo na komema ye na Babiloni.
8 And the Chaldeans burned the king’s house, and the houses of the people, with fire, and brake down the walls of Jerusalem.
Basoda ya Babiloni batumbaki ndako ya mokonzi mpe bandako ya bato, mpe babukaki bamir ya Yelusalemi.
9 Then Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard carried away captive into Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and those that fell away, that fell to him, with the rest of the people that remained.
Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, amemaki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, bato oyo batikalaki kati na engumba elongo na bato oyo bayaki komitika bango moko epai na ye, mpe bato mosusu.
10 But Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard left of the poor of the people, which had nothing, in the land of Judah, and gave them vineyards and fields at the same time.
Kasi Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, atikaki kati na mokili ya Yuda, babola oyo bazalaki ata na eloko moko te; apesaki bango bilanga ya vino mpe bilanga.
11 Now Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon gave charge concerning Jeremiah to Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard, saying,
Nzokande, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, na tina na mosakoli Jeremi:
12 Take him, and look well to him, and do him no harm; but do unto him even as he shall say unto thee.
« Kamata ye, batela ye, kosala ye mabe te; kasi salela ye makambo nyonso oyo akosenga yo. »
13 So Nebuzar-adan the captain of the guard sent, and Nebushasban, Rab-saris, and Nergal-sharezer, Rab-mag, and all the king of Babylon’s princes;
Boye, Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi; Nebutsasibani, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu; Nerigali-Saretseri, mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Babiloni
14 Even they sent, and took Jeremiah out of the court of the prison, and committed him unto Gedaliah the son of Ahikam the son of Shaphan, that he should carry him home: so he dwelt among the people.
batindaki ete bazwa Jeremi kati na lopango ya mokonzi mpe bapesaki ye na maboko ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, mpo ete azongisa ye na ndako na ye. Boye Jeremi awumelaki kati na bato na ye.
15 Now the word of the LORD came unto Jeremiah, while he was shut up in the court of the prison, saying,
Wana Jeremi azalaki ya kokangama kati na lopango ya bakengeli, Yawe alobaki na ye:
16 Go and speak to Ebed-melech the Ethiopian, saying, Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will bring my words upon this city for evil, and not for good; and they shall be [accomplished] in that day before thee.
— Kende koyebisa Ebedi-Meleki, moto ya Kushi: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakomi pene ya kokokisa makambo oyo nalakaki mpo na engumba oyo, makambo ya pasi kasi ya esengo te; tango makambo yango ekokokisama, ekosalema na miso na yo.
17 But I will deliver thee in that day, saith the LORD: and thou shalt not be given into the hand of the men of whom thou [art] afraid.
Kasi na mokolo wana, nakobatela yo, › elobi Yawe, ‹ okokabama te na maboko ya bato oyo yo ozali kobanga.
18 For I will surely deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword, but thy life shall be for a prey unto thee: because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the LORD.
Solo, nakobikisa yo, mpe okokufa na mopanga te; kasi bomoi na yo ekozala bomengo na yo ya bitumba, pamba te otielaka Ngai elikya, elobi Yawe. › »
