< Jeremiah 22 >

1 Thus said YHWH: “Go down [to] the house of the king of Judah, and you have spoken this word there, and have said,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na Jeremi: « Kende na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe tatola maloba oyo:
2 Hear a word of YHWH, O king of Judah, who are sitting on the throne of David, you, and your servants, and your people, who are coming in at these gates,”
‹ Mokonzi ya Yuda, yo oyo ovandi na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi, yoka Liloba na Yawe! Yo, bakalaka na yo mpe bato na yo: bino nyonso oyo bolekelaka na nzela ya bikuke oyo,
3 Thus said YHWH: “Do judgment and righteousness, And deliver the plundered from the hand of the oppressor, And sojourner, orphan, and widow, you do not oppress nor wrong, And innocent blood you do not shed in this place.
tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Bosalela bosembo mpe bosolo; bokangola wuta na maboko ya monyokoli moto oyo bazali konyokola! Bonyokola te bapaya, bana bitike mpe basi bakufisa mibali; bosala mpe bango mabe te. Bosopa te na esika oyo, makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te.
4 For if you certainly do this thing, Then kings sitting for David on his throne Have come in by the gates of this house, Riding on chariot, and on horses, He, and his servants, and his people.
Pamba te soki bosaleli na bokebi mibeko oyo, bakonzi oyo bakovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi bakolekela na bikuke ya ndako oyo, na likolo ya bashar mpe ya mpunda, elongo na bakalaka mpe bato na bango.
5 And if you do not hear these words, I have sworn by Myself,” A declaration of YHWH, “That this house is for a desolation.”
Kasi soki botosi mibeko oyo te, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai ete ndako oyo ekobebisama. › »
6 For thus said YHWH concerning the house of the king of Judah: “You [are] Gilead to Me—head of Lebanon, If not—I make you a wilderness, Cities [that] are not inhabited.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda: « Ata soki ozali lokola Galadi na miso na Ngai, lokola songe ya ngomba ya Libani; solo, nakokomisa yo lokola esobe, lokola engumba oyo bato bavandaka te.
7 And I have separated destroyers for you, Each with his weapons, And they have cut down the choice of your cedars, And have cast them on the fire.”
Nakotinda bato ete baya kobebisa yo, moto na moto na bibundeli na ye; bongo bakokata banzete na yo ya sedele oyo ya kitoko mpe bakobwaka yango na moto.
8 And many nations have passed by this city, And they have each said to his neighbor, “Why has YHWH done thus to this great city?”
Bato bakowuta na bikolo ya ndenge na ndenge bakolekela na engumba oyo mpe bakotunana: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe asali makambo ya boye na engumba monene oyo? ›
9 And they have said, “Because that they have forsaken The covenant of their God YHWH, And bow themselves to other gods, and serve them.”
Mpe eyano ekozala: ‹ Ezali mpo ete babebisi boyokani oyo basalaki elongo na Yawe, Nzambe na bango, bafukamelaki mpe basalelaki banzambe ya bapaya. › »
10 You do not weep for the dead, nor bemoan for him, Weep severely for the traveler, For he does not return again, Nor has he seen the land of his birth.
Bolela te mpo na kufa ya mokonzi to bosala matanga te mpo na kufa na ye! Bolela, bolela nde makasi mpo na ye oyo akei na bowumbu, mpo ete akozonga lisusu te mpe akomona lisusu te mboka epai babota ye.
11 For thus said YHWH concerning Shallum son of Josiah king of Judah, who is reigning instead of his father Josiah, who has gone forth from this place: “He does not return here again;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na Shalumi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, oyo akitanaki na Joziasi, tata na ye, lokola mokonzi ya Yuda, kasi atikaki mboka na ye: « Akozonga lisusu te.
12 For he dies in the place to where they have removed him, And he does not see this land again.
Akokufa na esika oyo bakomema ye na bowumbu, akomona lisusu mokili oyo te. »
13 Woe to him who is building his house by unrighteousness, And his upper chambers by injustice, He lays service on his neighbor for nothing, And he does not give his wage to him.
« Mawa na moto oyo atongaka ndako na ye na nzela ya bosembo te, mpe bashambre na ye ya etaje, na nzela ya lokuta; oyo asalisaka bandeko na ye mosala ya pamba mpe afutaka bango eloko te;
14 Who is saying, I build a large house for myself, And airy upper chambers, And he has cut out its windows for himself, Covered with cedar, and painted with vermillion.
oyo alobaka: ‹ Nakotongisa ndako monene oyo ekozala na bashambre minene, na etaje! › Boye atiaka yango maninisa minene, mabaya ya sedele na bamir na yango ya kati mpe akopakolaka yango langi ya motane.
15 Do you reign, because you are fretting yourself in cedar? Your father—did he not eat and drink? Indeed, he did judgment and righteousness, Then [it is] well with him.
Okanisi ete kotondisa ndako na mabaya ya sedele nde ekolendisa bokonzi na yo? Tata na yo azangaki bilei mpe masanga te, kasi atambolaki na bosembo mpe na boyengebene; boye alongaki na makambo nyonso.
16 He decided the cause of the poor and needy, Then [it is] well—is it not to know Me?” A declaration of YHWH.
Alongisaki babola mpe bato bakelela, mpe alongaki na makambo nyonso. Boni, yango te koyeba Ngai, » elobi Yawe?
17 “But your eyes and your heart are not, Except on your dishonest gain, And on shedding of innocent blood, And on oppression, and on doing of violence.”
« Kasi yo, miso mpe motema na yo elukaka kaka bomengo mpo na bolamu na yo moko kaka, na nzela ya kosopa makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te, na nzela ya konyokola bato mpe na nzela ya kobotola bango biloko. »
18 Therefore, thus said YHWH concerning Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah: “They do not lament for him, Oh, my brother! And, Oh, my sister! They do not lament for him, Oh, lord! And, Oh, his splendor!
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi mpo na Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: « Bakosalela ye matanga te na koloba: ‹ Mawa, ndeko na ngai ya mobali! Mawa, ndeko na ngai ya mwasi! › Bakosalela ye matanga te na koloba: ‹ Mawa, nkolo na ngai! Mawa, mokonzi na ngai! ›
19 He is buried [with] the burial of a donkey, Dragged and cast out there to the gates of Jerusalem.
Bakokunda ye ndenge bakundaka ane, bakobenda ye mpe bakobwaka ye libanda ya bikuke ya Yelusalemi. »
20 Go up to Lebanon, and cry, And give forth your voice in Bashan, And cry from Abarim, For all loving you have been destroyed.
« Mata na Libani mpe ganga makasi! Tika ete mongongo na yo eyokana kino na Bashani! Ganga wuta na Abarimi, pamba te baninga na yo nyonso basili kokufa!
21 I have spoken to you in your ease, You have said, I do not listen, This [is] your way from your youth, For you have not listened to My voice.
Nakebisaki yo tango ozalaki na kimia kasi olobaki: ‹ Nakoyoka te! › Ezaleli na yo ezalaka kaka boye wuta bolenge na yo, otosaka na yo Ngai te!
22 Wind consumes all your friends, And your lovers go into captivity, Surely then you are ashamed, And have blushed for all your wickedness.
Mopepe ekomema bakambi na yo nyonso mpe baninga na yo bakokende na bowumbu. Okoyoka soni mpe okosambwa likolo ya mabe na yo nyonso.
23 O dweller in Lebanon, making a nest among cedars, How gracious have you been when pangs come to you, Pain—as of a travailing woman.”
Yo oyo ovandaka na Libani, yo oyo otongaki zala na yo kati na bandako ya sedele, yeba ete okolela tango pasi ekokomela yo, pasi oyo ekokani na pasi ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota!
24 “[As] I live,” A declaration of YHWH, “Though Coniah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah was a seal on My right hand, surely there I draw you away,
Na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « ata soki yo Konia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, ozalaki lokola lopete na mosapi ya loboko na Ngai ya mobali, nakolongola yo kaka.
25 And I have given you into the hand of those seeking your life, And into hands of which you are afraid, Into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of the Chaldeans.
Nakokaba yo na maboko ya bato oyo bazali na posa ya koboma yo, mpe na maboko ya bato oyo obangaka, epai ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na bato ya Babiloni.
26 And I have cast you, And your mother who bore you, to another country, Where you were not born, and you die there.
Nakobengana yo elongo na mama oyo abota yo na mokili mosusu epai wapi moko te kati na bino abotama, mpe ekozala kuna nde bino mibale bokokufa.
27 And to the land to where they are lifting up their soul to return, They do not return there.”
Bokotikala kozonga lisusu te na mokili oyo bozalaka na posa makasi ya kozonga. »
28 A grief—a despised broken thing—is this man Coniah? A vessel in which there is no pleasure? Why have they been cast up and down, He and his seed, Indeed, were they cast on to a land that they did not know?
Boni, moto oyo, Konia, azali te mbeki ya kopasuka oyo etiolama to eloko oyo ezanga tina? Mpo na nini babengana ye elongo na bana na ye mpe babwaka bango na mokili oyo bayebi te?
29 Earth, earth, earth, hear a word of YHWH!
Oh mokili na ngai, mokili na ngai, mokili na ngai! Yoka Liloba na Yawe!
30 Thus said YHWH: “Write this man down [as] childless, A man—he does not prosper in his days, For none of his seed prospers, Sitting on the throne of David, And ruling in Judah again!”
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Koma kombo ya moto oyo lokola moto oyo abota te, lokola moto oyo akolonga te na bomoi na ye, pamba te moko te kati na bana na ye akolonga, moko te akovanda lisusu na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi to akozala lisusu mokonzi ya Yuda. »
