Jeremiah 3
1 “Saying, Behold, one sends his wife away, And she has gone from him, And she has been to another man, Does he return to her again? Is that land not greatly defiled? And you have committed whoredom with many lovers, And turn to Me again,” A declaration of YHWH.
« Soki mobali abomi libala na mwasi na ye, mpe mwasi yango akei kobala mobali mosusu; boni, mobali yango akoki lisusu kozongela ye? Bomoni te ete mokili mobimba ekokoma penza mbindo? Nzokande yo, osalaki kindumba na mibali ebele, bongo olingi sik’oyo kozongela Ngai, » elobi Yawe.
2 “Lift your eyes to the high places, and see, Where have you not been lain with? You have sat for them on the ways, As an Arab in a wilderness, And you defile the land, By your fornications, and by your wickedness.
« Tombola miso na yo na likolo ya bangomba mpe tala: Boni, ezali penza na esika epai wapi ozangaki kosala ekobo? Ovandaki na nzela mpo na kozela bamakangu, ovandaki wana lokola moto ya Arabi kati na esobe. Boye, okomisaki mokili mbindo na nzela ya ekobo na yo mpe ya misala na yo ya mabe.
3 And showers are withheld, and there has been no spring rain. You have the forehead of a whorish woman, You have refused to be ashamed.
Yango wana, mvula ekangamaki, mpe mvula ya sima enokaki lisusu te. Kasi atako bongo, okangami kaka na kosala kindumba na yo mpe oboyi koyoka soni.
4 Have you not from now on called to Me, My Father, You [are] the leader of my youth?
Boni, obengaka Ngai te: ‹ Tata na ngai, moninga na ngai ya bomwana! ›
5 Does He keep for all time? Watch forever? Behold, you have spoken these things, And you do evil, and prevail.”
Ozali kutu kotuna Ngai: ‹ Boni, kino tango nini okokanga kanda? Kotomboka na yo ekosila te? › Yango nde makambo ozali koloba, kasi ozali mpe kaka kokoba na misala na yo ya mabe. »
6 And YHWH says to me, in the days of Josiah the king, “Have you seen that which backsliding Israel has done? She is going on every high mountain, and to the place of every green tree, and commits fornication there.
Tango Joziasi azalaki mokonzi, Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Omoni makambo Isalaele oyo apengwi nzela na Ngai azali kosala? Amataki likolo ya bangomba nyonso mpe atambolaki na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu mpo na kosala kindumba.
7 And I say, after her doing all these, Return to Me, and she has not returned, and her treacherous sister Judah sees it.
Nakanisaki ete akozongela Ngai soki asilisi kosala makambo nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa; kasi azongeli Ngai te, mpe ndeko na ye ya mwasi, mopengwi Yuda, amonaki yango.
8 And I see that for all the causes whereby backsliding Israel committed adultery, I have sent her away, and I give the bill of her divorce to her; and her treacherous sister Judah has not feared, and goes and commits fornication—she also.
Napesaki mopengwi Isalaele mokanda na ye ya koboma libala mpe nabenganaki ye likolo ya kindumba na ye; kasi namonaki ete ndeko na ye ya mwasi, mopengwi Yuda, abangaki te; ye mpe abimaki mpo na kosala kindumba.
9 And it has come to pass, from the vileness of her fornication, that the land is defiled, and she commits fornication with stone and with wood.
Lokola ezalaki likambo ya pamba mpo na Isalaele kosala kindumba, akomisaki mokili mbindo mpe asalaki kindumba na banzambe ya bikeko oyo basala na mabanga mpe na banzete.
10 And even in all this her treacherous sister Judah has not turned back to Me with all her heart, but with falsehood,” a declaration of YHWH.
Atako bongo, ndeko na ye ya mwasi, mopengwi Yuda, azongaki epai na Ngai te na motema na ye mobimba; azongaki na ye kaka likolo-likolo, » elobi Yawe.
11 And YHWH says to me: “Backsliding Israel has justified herself, More than treacherous Judah.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Mopengwi Isalaele azali sembo koleka mopengwi Yuda.
12 Go, and you have proclaimed these words toward the north, and have said, Return, O backsliding Israel,” A declaration of YHWH! “I do not cause My anger to fall on you, for I [am] kind,” A declaration of YHWH, “I do not watch for all time.
Kende kosakola sango oyo na nor: ‹ Oh mopengwi Isalaele, zonga, › elobi Yawe, ‹ Nakokangela yo lisusu elongi te, pamba te nazali Moyengebene, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Nakokangela yo lisusu kanda te mpo na libela.
13 Only, know your iniquity, For you have transgressed against your God YHWH, And you scatter your ways to strangers, Under every green tree, And you have not listened to My voice,” A declaration of YHWH.
Ndima kaka mabe na yo, mpo ete otombokelaki Yawe, Nzambe na yo; obebisaki ngolu na yo epai ya banzambe ya bapaya, na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu, mpe otosaki Ngai te, › » elobi Yawe.
14 “Return, O backsliding sons,” A declaration of YHWH. “For I have ruled over you, And taken you—one from a city, and two from a family, And have brought you to Zion,
« Bozonga epai na Ngai, bino batomboki, » elobi Yawe, « pamba te nazali mobali na bino ya libala. Kati na bino, nakozwa moto moko kati na engumba moko na moko, mpe bato mibale kati na etuka moko na moko, mpo na kozongisa bino na Siona.
15 And I have given shepherds to you According to My own heart, And they have fed you with knowledge and understanding.
Bongo nakopesa bino bakambi kolanda posa ya motema na Ngai, bakambi oyo bakotambolisa bino na bwanya mpe na mayele.
16 And it has come to pass, when you are multiplied, And have been fruitful in the land, In those days,” A declaration of YHWH, “They no longer say, The Ark of the Covenant of YHWH, Nor does it go up on the heart, Nor do they remember concerning it, Nor do they inspect, nor is it made again.
Na mikolo wana, tango bokokoma penza ebele na mokili, » elobi Yawe, « bato bakoloba lisusu te: ‹ Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe. › Bakomitungisa lisusu mpo na yango te mpe bakokanisa yango lisusu te; kozanga na yango ekolobela bato eloko moko te, mpe bakoluka lisusu te kosala Sanduku ya Boyokani.
17 At that time they cry to Jerusalem, O throne of YHWH, And all the nations have been gathered to her, For the Name of YHWH, to Jerusalem, Nor do they go after the stubbornness of their evil heart anymore.
Na tango wana, bakobenga Yelusalemi Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Yawe, mpe bikolo nyonso ekosangana na Yelusalemi mpo na kopesa lokumu na Kombo na Yawe. Boye, bakolanda lisusu te baposa mabe ya mitema na bango.
18 In those days the house of Judah Goes to the house of Israel, And they come together from the land of the south, To the land that I caused your fathers to inherit.
Na tango wana, libota ya Yuda ekosangana elongo na libota ya Isalaele; longwa na mokili ya nor, bakokende nzela moko kino na mokili oyo napesaki batata na bino lokola libula.
19 And I have said, How do I put you among the sons, And give a desirable land to you, A beautiful inheritance of the hosts of nations, And I say, You call Me—My Father, And you do not turn back from after Me.
Namilobelaki: ‹ Esengo nini penza nazalaki na yango ya kokamata bino lokola bana mpe kopesa bino mikili ya kitoko, libula oyo eleki kitoko kati na bikolo! › Nakanisaki ete bokobenga Ngai ‹ Tata › mpe bokotika te kolanda Ngai.
20 But a woman has deceived her friend, So you have dealt treacherously with Me, O house of Israel,” A declaration of YHWH.
Kasi bino lisanga ya Isalaele, bokosi Ngai lokola mwasi oyo asangisi nzoto na mobali mosusu, » elobi Yawe.
21 A voice is heard on high places—weeping, Supplications of the sons of Israel, For they have made their way perverse, They have forgotten their God YHWH.
Koganga ezali koyokana na likolo ya bangomba: ezali mayi ya miso mpe kolelalela ya bana ya Isalaele, pamba te babebisi nzela na bango mpe babosani Yawe, Nzambe na bango.
22 “Return, O backsliding sons, I cause your backslidings to cease.” “Behold us, we have come to You, For You [are] our God YHWH.
« Bino batomboki, bozonga epai na Ngai mpe nakobikisa bino na kopengwa na bino! » « Solo, tokozonga epai na Yo, pamba te Yo, Yawe, nde ozali Nzambe na biso.
23 Surely in vain—from the heights, The multitude of mountains—Surely the salvation of Israel [is] in our God YHWH.
Solo, bisala-sala oyo ezali kosalema na bangomba mikuse mpe milayi ezali kaka makelele ya pamba. Solo, Yawe, Nzambe na biso, azali Lobiko ya Isalaele.
24 And the shameful thing has devoured The labor of our fathers from our youth, Their flock and their herd, Their sons and their daughters.
Wuta bolenge na biso, banzambe ya bikeko ebebisaki mbuma ya misala ya batata na biso, bibwele na bango mpe ngombe na bango, bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi.
25 We have lain down in our shame, and our confusion covers us, For we have sinned against our God YHWH, We, and our fathers, from our youth even to this day, Nor have we listened to the voice of our God YHWH!”
Soni ekomi lokola mbeto na biso, mpe kosambwa, lokola bulangeti mpo na komizipa; pamba te biso mpe batata na biso, tosalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, totosaki Yawe te, wuta bolenge na biso. »
