Jeremiah 7
1 The word that has been to Jeremiah from YHWH, saying,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
2 “Stand in the gate of the house of YHWH, and you have proclaimed this word there, and have said, Hear a word of YHWH, all you of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before YHWH.”
« Telema na ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe tatola maloba oyo: ‹ Boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bokotaka na bikuke oyo mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
3 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to dwell in this place.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bobongola bizaleli mpe misala na bino, mpe Ngai nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo.
4 Do not trust for yourselves To the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of YHWH! The temple of YHWH! These [are] the temple of YHWH!
Botia motema te na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali kolobama: ‘Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe! Yawe azali awa.’
5 For if you thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If you thoroughly do judgment Between a man and his neighbor,
Soki solo bobongoli bizaleli mpe misala na bino mpe bokomi kokata bino na bino makambo na bosembo;
6 You do not oppress sojourner, fatherless, and widow, And innocent blood is not shed in this place, And [you] do not walk after other gods, for evil to yourselves,
soki botiki konyokola bapaya, bana bitike to basi bakufisa mibali, mpe botiki kosopa makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te, soki botiki kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo na nzela na yango bomibendelaka pasi,
7 Then I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even to age.
nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo, kati na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bakoko na bino wuta kala mpe mpo na libela.
8 Behold, you are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
Kasi botala ndenge bozali kotia motema na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali ata na litomba moko te.
9 Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving incense to Ba‘al, And going after other gods whom you did not know.
Bozali koyiba, koboma bato, kosala ekobo, kolapa bandayi ya lokuta, kotumba malasi ya ansa mpo na Bala mpe kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo boyebaki te;
10 And you have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My Name is called, And have said, We have been delivered, In order to do all these abominations.
bongo bozali koya liboso na Ngai kati na Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai, mpe bozali koloba: ‘Tobiki na biso!’ Bobiki na bino solo mpo na kosala makambo oyo nyonso ya nkele?
11 Has this house, On which My Name is called, Been a den of burglars in your eyes? Even I, behold, have seen,” A declaration of YHWH.
Boni, bokomisi Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai ekimelo ya miyibi? Ngai nazali komona ete bozali kozwa yango bongo, elobi Yawe.
12 “But go now to My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My Name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedess of My people Israel.
Eleki malamu bokende nanu na Silo epai wapi natiaki liboso Esika na Ngai ya bule mpe botala makambo oyo nasalaki kuna mpo na mabe ya bana ya Isalaele.
13 And now, because of your doing all these works,” A declaration of YHWH, “And I speak to you, rising early and speaking, And you have not listened, And I call you, and you have not answered,
Lokola nazalaki kokebisa bino mbala na mbala tango bozalaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso, elobi Yawe, kasi botikalaki koyokela Ngai te; lokola nabengaki bino, kasi boyanolaki Ngai te,
14 I also have done to the house on which My Name is called, In which you are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, As I have done to Shiloh.
makambo oyo nasalaki na Silo, nakosala yango mpe sik’oyo na Ndako na Ngai, na Tempelo oyo bozali kotiela motema, esika oyo napesaki bino elongo na batata na bino.
15 And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brothers, The whole seed of Ephraim.
Nakobwaka bino mosika na Ngai ndenge nabwakaki bandeko na bino nyonso ya Efrayimi. ›
16 And you do not pray for this people, Nor lift up crying and prayer for them, Nor intercede with Me, for I do not hear you.
Bongo yo Jeremi, komeka kobondela mpo na bato oyo te, kolobela Ngai na tina na bango ata moke te, komeka kutu te kosengela bango eloko: kotungisa Ngai te, pamba te nakotikala koyokela yo te.
17 Are you not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
Boni, ozali komona te makambo oyo bazali kosala kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?
18 The sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
Bana bazali kolokota bakoni, batata bazali kopelisa moto, mpe basi bazali kosangisa farine mpo na kosala mapa mpo na Ishitari; bazali kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya banzambe mosusu, bongo ezali kopesa Ngai kanda.
19 Are they provoking Me to anger?” A declaration of YHWH, “Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own faces?”
Boni, bakanisi ete bazali kosala Ngai mabe, etuni Yawe? Te! Bazali nde komisala bango moko mabe, mpo na soni na bango moko.
20 Therefore, thus said Lord YHWH: “Behold, My anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it has burned, and it is not quenched.”
‹ Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakopelisa kanda na Ngai ya makasi na esika oyo, likolo ya bato, ya banyama, ya banzete ya zamba mpe ya mbuma ya mabele: kanda yango ekopela lokola moto, bongo ekokufa te.
21 Thus said YHWH of Hosts, God of Israel: “Add your burnt-offerings to your sacrifices and eat flesh.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bokoba kaka na makambo oyo bozali kosala, bobakisa mbeka na bino ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu, mpe bolia misuni yango bino moko!
22 For I did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
Pamba te, tango nabimisaki bakoko na bino na Ejipito, nalobaki na bango likambo moko te na oyo etali mbeka ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu.
23 But this thing I commanded them, saying, Listen to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And you are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for you.
Nzokande, napesaki bango kaka mobeko oyo: Botosa Ngai, bongo Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bino mpe bino bokozala bato na Ngai; botambola na nzela nyonso oyo nakolakisa bino mpo ete bozala bato ya esengo.
24 And they have not listened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, [And] in the stubbornness, of their evil hearts, And are backward and not forward.
Kasi batiaki matoyi te mpo na koyoka Ngai; balandaki kaka makanisi mabe ya mitema na bango. Boye, na esika ete babonga, babebaki lisusu koleka.
25 Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt until this day, I send all My servants the prophets to you, Daily rising early and sending,
Wuta tango batata na bino babimaki na Ejipito kino na mokolo ya lelo, natindelaka bino basali na Ngai, basakoli, tango nyonso mpe mikolo nyonso.
26 And they have not listened to Me, Nor inclined their ear—and they harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
Kasi bayokaki Ngai te mpe bapesaki Ngai matoyi na bango te; bazalaki kaka mito makasi mpe basalaki lisusu mabe koleka bakoko na bango. ›
27 And you have spoken all these words to them, And they do not listen to you, And you have called to them, And they do not answer you.
Ata oyebisi bango makambo oyo nyonso, bakotikala koyoka yo te; ata mpe obengi bango, bakoyanola te.
28 And you have said to them: This [is] the nation that has not listened, To the voice of its God YHWH, Nor have they accepted instruction, Steadfastness has perished, Indeed, it has been cut off from their mouth.
Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala ekolo oyo eyokaka te maloba ya Yawe, Nzambe na yango, mpe eyokaka pamela te; solo ezali lisusu te na minoko na bango mpe elimwe penza na bibebu na bango.
29 Cut off your crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up lamentation on high places, For YHWH has rejected, And He leaves the generation of His wrath.
Kata suki na yo ya Naziri mpe bwaka yango, yemba nzembo ya mawa na likolo ya bangomba ekawuka, pamba te Yawe abwaki mpe asundoli bato oyo bazali na se ya kanda na Ye.
30 For the sons of Judah Have done evil in My eyes,” A declaration of YHWH, “They have set their abominations in the house On which My Name is called—to defile it,
Bato ya Yuda basali mabe na miso na Ngai, elobi Yawe, batie banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya mbindo kati na Ndako na Ngai mpe bakomisi Ndako na Ngai mbindo.
31 And have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My heart.
Batongi bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, ya Tofeti, kati na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, mpo ete batumba bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi mpo na kobonza bango lokola mbeka: nzokande wana ezali likambo oyo Ngai natindaki bango te mpe natikalaki ata kokanisa yango te.
32 Therefore, behold, days are coming,” A declaration of YHWH, “And it is no longer said, The Tophet, And, Valley of the Son of Hinnom, But, Valley of the Slaughter, And they have buried in Tophet—without place.
Yango wana, bosala keba, elobi Yawe: na mikolo ekoya, bato bakobenga lisusu te esika oyo Tofeti to Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, kasi bakobenga yango lubwaku oyo babomelaka bato, pamba te bakokunda bato na Tofeti kino tango esika ekotikala lisusu te.
33 And the carcass of this people has been for food To a bird of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
Bongo bibembe ya bato oyo ekokoma bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba; mpe moto moko te akobengana yango.
34 And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land becomes a desolation!”
Kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, nakosilisa koganga ya esengo mpe ya kosepela, mongongo ya mobali ya libala mpe ya mwasi ya libala, pamba te mokili ekobeba.
