< Jeremiah 19 >

1 Thus said the LORD, Go, and buy a potter’s earthen bottle, and [take] of the elders of the people, and of the elders of the priests;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: — Kende kosomba mbeki epai ya mosali mbeki. Kende nzela moko na bakambi ya bato mpe bakambi ya Banganga-Nzambe;
2 and go forth unto the valley of the son of Hinnom, which is by the entry of the gate Harsith, and proclaim there the words that I shall tell thee:
bimela na nzela ya Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, na liboso ya ekuke ya ndako epai wapi basalaka mbeki; mpe kuna, okosakola maloba oyo nakoyebisa yo.
3 and say, Hear ye the word of the LORD, O kings of Judah, and inhabitants of Jerusalem; thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring evil upon this place, the which whosoever heareth, his ears shall tingle.
Loba: « Bino bakonzi ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi, boyoka Liloba na Yawe! Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Boyoka! Nakoyeisa pasi makasi na esika oyo; mpe moto nyonso oyo akoyoka sango na yango, akozala na somo.
4 Because they have forsaken me, and have estranged this place, and have burned incense in it unto other gods, whom they knew not, they and their fathers and the kings of Judah; and have filled this place with the blood of innocents;
Lokola bato oyo basundoli Ngai mpe bakomisi esika oyo esika ya banzambe ya bapaya, lokola bakomi kotumba mbeka na esika oyo mpo na banzambe oyo; ezala bango, batata na bango to bakonzi ya Yuda, batikalaki koyeba te, batondisi esika oyo na makila ya bato oyo basali mabe ata moko te,
5 and have built the high places of Baal, to burn their sons in the fire for burnt offerings unto Baal; which I commanded not, nor spake it, neither came it into my mind:
batongi bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na Bala, mpo na kotumba bana na bango na moto lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai ya Bala; nzokande Ngai natikala kotinda bango likambo ya boye te to mpe likambo ya boye etikala ata komata na makanisi na Ngai te;
6 therefore, behold, the days come, saith the LORD, that this place shall no more be called Topheth, nor The valley of the son of Hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter.
yango wana, na mikolo ekoya, elobi Yawe, bakobenga lisusu te esika oyo: ‹ Tofeti to Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, › kasi bakokoma kobenga yango: ‹ Lubwaku oyo babomelaka bato. ›
7 And I will make void the counsel of Judah and Jerusalem in this place; and I will cause them to fall by the sword before their enemies, and by the hand of them that seek their life: and their carcases will I give to be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth.
Kaka na esika oyo, nakobebisa mabongisi ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi; nakosala ete bakweya na mopanga ya banguna na bango mpe na maboko ya bato oyo bazali na posa ya kosala bango mabe. Nakokomisa bibembe na bango bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba.
8 And I will make this city an astonishment, and an hissing; every one that passeth thereby shall be astonished and hiss because of all the plagues thereof.
Nakobebisa engumba oyo mpe nakokomisa yango eloko ya kotiola. Bato nyonso oyo bakolekela awa bakokamwa mpe bakoyoka somo wana bakomona kobeba na yango nyonso.
9 And I will cause them to eat the flesh of their sons and the flesh of their daughters, and they shall eat every one the flesh of his friend, in the siege and in the straitness, wherewith their enemies, and they that seek their life, shall straiten them.
Nakoleisa bango misuni ya bana na bango ya basi mpe ya mibali, bakoliana bango na bango tango bato oyo bazali na posa ya kosala bango mabe bakozingela bango.
10 Then shalt thou break the bottle in the sight of the men that go with thee,
Boye, buka mbeki na miso ya bato oyo bozali kokende na bango nzela moko
11 and shalt say unto them, Thus saith the LORD of hosts: Even so will I break this people and this city, as one breaketh a potter’s vessel, that cannot be made whole again: and they shall bury in Topheth, till there be no place to bury.
mpe loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Nakobebisa ekolo mpe engumba oyo, kaka ndenge bapanzaka mbeki oyo mosali mbeki asali, mpe bakokoka lisusu kobongisa yango te. Bakokunda bibembe na Tofeti kino esika ya kokunda ekotikala lisusu te.
12 Thus will I do unto this place, saith the LORD, and to the inhabitants thereof, even making this city as Topheth:
Yango ezali makambo oyo nakosala na esika oyo mpe epai ya bavandi ya esika oyo, elobi Yawe, nakokomisa engumba oyo lokola Tofeti.
13 and the houses of Jerusalem, and the houses of the kings of Judah, which are defiled, shall be as the place of Topheth, even all the houses upon whose roofs they have burned incense unto all the host of heaven, and have poured out drink offerings unto other gods.
Bandako ya Yelusalemi mpe bandako ya bakonzi ya Yuda ekokoma mbindo lokola esika oyo na kombo Tofeti, bandako nyonso oyo, na likolo ya manzanza na yango, bazalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa mpo na mampinga nyonso ya likolo mpe bazalaki kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino mpo na banzambe mosusu. › »
14 Then came Jeremiah from Topheth, whither the LORD had sent him to prophesy; and he stood in the court of the LORD’S house, and said to all the people:
Jeremi azongaki wuta na Tofeti epai wapi Yawe atindaki ye mpo na kosakola, atelemaki na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe alobaki na bato nyonso:
15 Thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will bring upon this city and upon all her towns all the evil that I have pronounced against it; because they have made their neck stiff, that they might not hear my words.
— Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Boyoka! Nakoyeisa na engumba oyo mpe na mboka oyo ezali zingazinga na yango pasi nyonso oyo nasakolaki na tina na yango, pamba te batosaki Ngai te mpe bayokaki maloba na ngai te. »
