Jeremiah 8
1 "At that time," says YHWH, "they shall bring out the bones of the kings of Judah, and the bones of his officials, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the prophets, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves;
Na tango wana, elobi Yawe, bakobimisa mikuwa ya bakonzi mpe ya bakalaka ya Yuda, mikuwa ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya basakoli elongo na mikuwa ya bato ya Yelusalemi, wuta na malita na bango.
2 and they shall spread them before the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, which they have loved, and which they have served, and after which they have walked, and which they have sought, and which they have worshiped: they shall not be gathered, nor be buried, they shall be for dung on the surface of the earth.
Bakotanda yango na se ya moyi, na se ya sanza mpe na se ya mampinga nyonso ya likolo, oyo balingaki, basalelaki na esengo, balandaki, batunaki makambo mpe bafukamelaki. Bakosangisa lisusu mikuwa yango te mpo na kokunda yango, kasi ekokoma lokola matiti ya kopola, na mabele.
3 Death shall be chosen rather than life by all the residue that remain of this evil family, that remain in all the places where I have driven them," says YHWH of hosts.
Na bisika nyonso oyo nakopanza bango, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, bato nyonso oyo bakotikala na bomoi kati na ekolo oyo ya mabe bakoluka kufa na esika ya bomoi. ›
4 "Moreover you shall tell them, 'Thus says YHWH: Shall men fall, and not rise up again? Shall one turn away, and not return?
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Boni, soki moto akweyi, atelemaka te? Soki moto abungi nzela, azongaka lisusu na nzela te?
5 Why then do these people of Jerusalem turn away in perpetual backsliding? They hold fast deceit; they refuse to return.
Mpo na nini bato ya Yelusalemi babungi nzela? Mpo na nini bazali kokangama kaka na nzela na bango ya mabe? Bamipesi makasi na makambo ya lokuta mpe baboyi kozongela Ngai.
6 I listened and heard, but they did not speak what is right: no man repents him of his wickedness, saying, "What have I done?" Everyone turns to his course, as a horse that rushes headlong in the battle.
Nayokaka na bokebi makambo nyonso oyo balobaka, kasi balobaka makambo ya solo te. Moko te kati na bango ayokaka motema pasi mpo na mabe oyo asalaka, alobaka: ‘Nasali nini?’ Moto na moto akangamaka kaka na nzela na ye lokola mpunda oyo ezali kokende na bitumba.
7 Yes, the stork in the sky knows her appointed times; and the turtledove and the swallow and the crane observe the time of their coming; but my people do not know YHWH's law.
Ezala kutu nkongi, kati na likolo, eyebaka bileko ya kokende na bisika mosusu; ebenga, ndeke ya mayi mpe mbilambila eyebaka ata tango ya kozonga, kasi bato na Ngai bayebi mibeko ya Yawe te.
8 How can you say, "We are wise, and the law of YHWH is with us?" But, look, the lying pen of the scribes has worked falsehood.
Ndenge nini bokoki koloba: ‘Tozali bato ya bwanya, pamba te toyebi Mobeko ya Yawe,’ tango sik’oyo ekomeli ya balakisi ya Mobeko ebongoli yango lokuta?
9 The wise men are disappointed, they are dismayed and taken: look, they have rejected the word of YHWH; and what kind of wisdom is in them?
Bato ya bwanya bakoyokisama soni, bakoyoka somo mpe bakokende na bowumbu, pamba te batiolaki Liloba na Yawe. Bazali na bwanya ya ndenge nini?
10 therefore I will give their wives to others, and their fields to those who shall possess them: for everyone from the least even to the greatest is given to covetousness; from the prophet even to the priest every one deals falsely.
Yango wana, nakokaba basi na bango epai ya mibali mosusu, mpe bilanga na bango epai ya bato mosusu; pamba te bango nyonso, ezala mikolo to bana mike, batondi na lokoso ya mbongo; basakoli mpe Banganga-Nzambe nyonso bakomi se kotambola na lokuta;
11 They have healed the hurt of the daughter of my people superficially, saying, "Peace, peace;" when there is no peace.
bazali kosalisa bapota ya bato na Ngai likolo-likolo mpe bazali koloba: ‘Makambo nyonso ezali malamu, nyonso ezali kotambola malamu!’ Nzokande, ata likambo moko ya malamu ezali te.
12 Were they ashamed when they had committed abomination? No. They were not at all ashamed, neither could they blush: therefore shall they fall among those who fall; in the time of their visitation they shall be cast down, says YHWH.
Boni, bazali koyokela makambo na bango ya nkele soni? Te! Bazali koyoka ata soni te; bayebi kutu te ndenge bayokaka soni! Yango wana, bakokufa lokola bato nyonso, bakokweyisama tango bakozwa etumbu, elobi Yawe.
13 I will utterly consume them, says YHWH: no grapes shall be on the vine, nor figs on the fig tree, and the leaf shall fade; and the things that I have given them shall pass away from them.'"
Nakobebisa milona na bango, elobi Yawe. Bambuma ya vino ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya vino, mbuma ya figi ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya figi, mpe makasa ya banzete yango ekokawuka. Bakobotola bango biloko oyo napesaki bango. › »
14 "Why do we sit still? Assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fortified cities, and let us be silent there; for YHWH our God has put us to silence, and given us water of gall to drink, because we have sinned against YHWH.
Mpo na nini tozali kovanda awa? Tosangana esika moko! Tika ete tokima kati na bingumba batonga makasi mpo ete tokufela kuna! Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, afungoleli biso ekuke ya kufa mpe apesi biso mayi oyo ezali na ngenge mpo ete tomela, pamba te tosalaki masumu liboso na Ye.
15 We looked for peace, but no good came; and for a time of healing, and look, dismay.
Tozalaki na elikya ete tokozala na kimia, kasi tomoni likambo moko te ya malamu; tozalaki na elikya ete tokobika, kasi pasi na pasi nde ezali kolanda biso!
16 The snorting of his horses is heard from Dan: at the sound of the neighing of his strong ones the whole land trembles; for they have come, and have devoured the land and all that is in it; the city and those who dwell in it.
Lokito ya bampunda ya banguna mpe makelele ya makolo na yango ezali koyokana wuta na Dani, ezali koya mpo na kobebisa mokili mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, engumba mpe bavandi na yango nyonso, bongo mokili mobimba eningani.
17 For, look, I will send serpents, adders, among you, which will not be charmed; and they shall bite you," says YHWH.
« Botala, nakotindela bino banyoka oyo ebomaka, bitupa oyo moto akoki kosakana na yango te, mpo ete eswa bino, » elobi Yawe.
18 "My joy for me is sorrow. My heart is faint within me.
Pasi na ngai ezangeli kisi mpo na kosilisa yango, motema na ngai elembi kati na ngai.
19 Look, the voice of the cry of the daughter of my people from a land that is very far off: 'Isn't YHWH in Zion? Isn't her King in her?'" "Why have they provoked me to anger with their engraved images, and with foreign vanities?"
Yoka koganga ya bato na ngai wuta na mokili ya mosika: « Boni, Yawe azali lisusu te, kati na Siona? Mokonzi na yango azali lisusu kuna te? » « Mpo na nini batumbolaki kanda na Ngai na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, na nzela ya banzambe ya bapaya oyo ezanga ata tina? »
20 "'The harvest is past, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.'
« Tango ya kobuka mbuma esili koleka, elanga mpe esili kokoma na suka, kasi biso tobikisami te. »
21 For the hurt of the daughter of my people am I hurt: I mourn; dismay has taken hold on me.
Ndenge bato na ngai bazali koyoka pasi, ndenge wana mpe ngai nazali koyoka pasi, nazali kolela, mpe somo ekangi ngai makasi.
22 Is there no balm in Gilead? Is there no physician there? Why then isn't the health of the daughter of my people recovered?
Boni, kisi ezali te kati na Galadi? Minganga bazali kuna te? Bongo mpo na nini bato na ngai bazali kobika te?
