Jeremiah 12
1 You [are] righteous, O YHWH, When I plead toward You, Only, let me speak judgments with You, Why did the way of the wicked prosper? All treacherous dealers have been at rest.
Oh Yawe, ozalaka tango nyonso sembo; mpe ngai nakokoka kosamba na Yo te. Nzokande nalingi kotuna Yo mwa mituna na tina na oyo etali bosembo na Yo. Mpo na nini misala ya bato mabe ekendaka liboso? Mpo na nini bato oyo batosaka Yo te bazalaka na bomoi ya kimia?
2 You have planted them, Indeed, they have taken root, They go on, indeed, they have made fruit, You [are] near in their mouth, And far off from their reins.
Olonaki bango mpe bazwi misisa; bazali kokola mpe kobota mbuma. Ozali tango nyonso pene ya minoko na bango, kasi mosika ya mitema na bango.
3 And You, O YHWH, You have known me, You see me, and have tried my heart with You, Draw them away as sheep to slaughter, And separate them for a day of slaughter.
Nzokande, oh Yawe, oyebi ngai, omonaka ngai mpe oyebi makanisi ya motema na ngai mpo na Yo. Tindika bango lokola bameme oyo babongisi mpo na koboma! Bongisa bango mpo na mokolo ya kufa.
4 Until when does the earth mourn, And the herb of the whole field wither? For the wickedness of those dwelling in it, Beast and bird have been consumed, Because they said, “He does not see our latter end.”
Kino tango nini mokili ekowumela na kolela mpe matiti ya bilanga nyonso ekowumela ya kokawuka? Banyama mpe bandeke esili kokufa mpo ete bavandi ya mokili bazali mabe. Balobaka: « Yawe akoyeba te makambo oyo ekokomela biso. »
5 “For you have run with footmen, And they weary you, And how you fret yourself with horses! Even in the land of peace, [In which] you are confident—And how will you do in the rising of Jordan?
Soki ozali kosala momekano ya kokima mbangu elongo na bato oyo bazali kotambola na makolo, mpe bango bazali komelisa yo pema, ndenge nini okoki komekana na bato oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda? Soki ozali komitungisa na mokili oyo ezali na kimia, ekozala boni liboso ya mpela ya ebale Yordani?
6 For even your brothers and the house of your father, Even they dealt treacherously against you, Even they called after you fully, Do not trust in them when they speak good things to you.
Pamba te ezala bandeko na yo mpe bato ya libota na yo moko bateki yo, bazali koganga makasi mpo na kotelemela yo. Kotiela bango motema te, ata tango bazali kobimisa maloba kitoko mpo na yo.
7 I have forsaken My house, I have left My inheritance, I have given the beloved of My soul Into the hand of her enemies.
Nakobosana libota na ngai, nakosundola libula na ngai, nakokaba molingami na ngai na maboko ya banguna na ye.
8 My inheritance has been to Me as a lion in a forest, She gave forth against Me with her voice, Therefore I have hated her.
Libula na ngai ekomi na miso na ngai lokola nkosi ya zamba: ezali kogangela ngai; yango wana nayini yango.
9 [Is] My inheritance a speckled bird to Me? Is the bird around against her? Come, assemble, every beast of the field, Come for food.
Boni, libula na ngai ekomi na miso na ngai lokola ndeke oyo eliaka misuni, bongo ebebi na makila, mpo ete bandeke mosusu oyo eliaka misuni eya kozingela mpe kobundisa yango? Bokende kosangisa banyama nyonso ya zamba mpe bobengisa yango mpo ete eya kolia nyama!
10 Many shepherds destroyed My vineyard, They have trodden down My portion, They have made My desirable portion Become a wilderness—a desolation.
Babateli ebele ya bibwele babebisi elanga na ngai ya vino, banyati-nyati elanga na ngai, babongoli elanga na ngai ya kitoko mabele ya kokawuka.
11 He has made it become a desolation, The desolation has mourned to Me, All the land has been desolated, But there is no one laying it to heart.
Bakomisi yango esobe, etikali pamba na miso na ngai, ekomi eloko ya mawa. Mokili mobimba ebebisami, pamba te moto moko te azali lisusu komema yango na motema.
12 Spoilers have come in on all high places in the plain, For the sword of YHWH is consuming, From the end of the land even to the end of the land, There is no peace to any flesh.
Babebisi bakobimela na likolo ya bangomba nyonso ya esobe, pamba te mopanga ya Yawe ekoboma mokili mobimba; moto moko te akozala na kimia.
13 They sowed wheat, and have reaped thorns, They have become sick—they do not profit, And they have been ashamed of your increases, Because of the fierceness of the anger of YHWH.”
Bakolona ble, kasi bakobuka banzube; bakobimisa mitoki na mosala, kasi bakozwa litomba ya malonga te. Boye, boyokela mbuma ya bilanga na bino soni, mpo na kanda makasi ya Yawe.
14 Thus said YHWH: “Concerning all My evil neighbors, who are striking against the inheritance that I caused My people—Israel—to inherit: Behold, I am plucking them from off their ground, And I pluck the house of Judah out of their midst.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakobengana bato mabe oyo bavandaka zingazinga ya ekolo na Ngai, oyo bazali kobundisa libula oyo napesaki bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe nakolongola ekolo ya Yuda kati na bango.
15 And it has been, after My plucking them out, I turn back, and have pitied them, And I have brought them back, Each to his inheritance, and each to his land.
Kasi sima na Ngai kobengana bango, nakoyokela bango lisusu mawa mpe nakozongisa moko na moko kati na libula na ye mpe kati na mokili na ye.
16 And it has come to pass, If they learn the ways of My people well, To swear by My Name, YHWH lives, As they taught My people to swear by Ba‘al, Then they have been built up in the midst of My people.
Mpe soki bayekoli malamu bizaleli ya bato na Ngai mpe balapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, na maloba oyo: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe, › ndenge balakisaki bato na Ngai kolapa ndayi na kombo ya Bala, nakopesa bango esika kati na bato na Ngai.
17 And if they do not listen, Then I have plucked up that nation, Plucking up and destroying,” A declaration of YHWH!
Kasi ekolo oyo ekoyoka te, nakobengana bango nyonso mpe nakobebisa bango, » elobi Yawe.
