Jeremiah 37
1 And Zedekiah the son of Josiah reigned as king, instead of Coniah the son of Jehoiakim, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon made king in the land of Judah.
Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, akomisaki Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda na esika ya Konia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi.
2 But neither he, nor his servants, nor the people of the land, did hearken unto the words of the LORD, which he spake by the prophet Jeremiah.
Ezala ye, bakalaka na ye ya lokumu mpe bato ya mokili, moko te ayokaki na bokebi maloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Jeremi.
3 And Zedekiah the king sent Jehucal the son of Shelemiah, and Zephaniah the son of Maaseiah the priest, to the prophet Jeremiah, saying, Pray now unto the LORD our God for us.
Mokonzi Sedesiasi atindaki Yewukali, mwana mobali ya Shelemia, mpe Nganga-Nzambe Sofoni, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, epai ya mosakoli Jeremi mpo ete bayebisa ye maloba oyo: « Nabondeli yo, bondela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpo na biso! »
4 Now Jeremiah came in and went out among the people: for they had not put him into prison.
Na tango wana, Jeremi azalaki na bonsomi ya kotambola na esika oyo alingi kati na bato, pamba te batiaki ye nanu na boloko te.
5 And Pharaoh’s army was come forth out of Egypt: and when the Chaldeans that besieged Jerusalem heard tidings of them, they brake up from Jerusalem.
Tango basoda ya Babiloni, oyo bazingelaki engumba Yelusalemi bayokaki sango ete basoda ya Faraon babimi na Ejipito, batikaki kozingela Yelusalemi.
6 Then came the word of the LORD unto the prophet Jeremiah, saying,
Bongo tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Jeremi:
7 Thus saith the LORD, the God of Israel: Thus shall ye say to the king of Judah, that sent you unto me to inquire of me; Behold, Pharaoh’s army, which is come forth to help you, shall return to Egypt into their own land.
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Yebisa mokonzi ya Yuda oyo atindi yo kotuna toli epai na Ngai: ‹ Basoda ya Faraon oyo babimaki na mokili na bango mpo na koya kosunga yo bakozonga na mokili na bango, na Ejipito;
8 And the Chaldeans shall come again, and fight against this city; and they shall take it, and burn it with fire.
mpe basoda ya Babiloni bakozonga mpe bakobundisa engumba oyo; bakobotola yango mpe bakobebisa yango na moto. ›
9 Thus saith the LORD: Deceive not yourselves, saying, The Chaldeans shall surely depart from us: for they shall not depart.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bokanisa te ete bato ya Babiloni bakolongwa na mokili na bino. Te! Bakolongwa te. ›
10 For though ye had smitten the whole army of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there remained but wounded men among them, yet should they rise up every man in his tent, and burn this city with fire.
Ezala soki bolongi basoda nyonso ya Babiloni, oyo bazali kobundisa bino mpe etikali kaka ndambo ya bato oyo bazoki-zoki bapota, bakolonga kotelema kati na bandako na bango ya kapo mpe kobima mpo na kobebisa engumba oyo na moto. »
11 And it came to pass that when the army of the Chaldeans was broken up from Jerusalem for fear of Pharaoh’s army,
Sima na basoda ya Babiloni kotika kozingela Yelusalemi likolo ya basoda ya Faraon, oyo bazalaki kopusana,
12 then Jeremiah went forth out of Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to receive his portion there, in the midst of the people.
Jeremi alingaki kobima na Yelusalemi mpo ete akende kozwa, kati na etuka ya Benjame, libula na ye ya mabele kati na bato ya kuna.
13 And when he was in the gate of Benjamin, a captain of the ward was there, whose name was Irijah, the son of Shelemiah, the son of Hananiah; and he laid hold on Jeremiah the prophet, saying, Thou fallest away to the Chaldeans.
Kasi tango akomaki na Ekuke ya Benjame, mokambi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki Iriya, mwana mobali ya Shelemia, mwana mobali ya Anania, akangaki mosakoli Jeremi mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, ozali kokende na ngambo ya bato ya Babiloni?
14 Then said Jeremiah, It is false; I fall not away to the Chaldeans; but he hearkened not to him: so Irijah laid hold on Jeremiah, and brought him to the princes.
Jeremi azongisaki: — Te! Ezali lokuta, nazali kokende na ngambo ya bato ya Babiloni te! Kasi Iriya aboyaki koyoka ye, akangaki ye kaka mpe amemaki ye epai ya bakambi.
15 And the princes were wroth with Jeremiah, and smote him, and put him in prison in the house of Jonathan the scribe; for they had made that the prison.
Bakambi batombokelaki Jeremi makasi, babetaki ye mpe batiaki ye na ndako ya Jonatan, mokomi mikanda, ndako oyo bakomisaki boloko.
16 When Jeremiah was come into the dungeon house, and into the cells, and Jeremiah had remained there many days;
Babwakaki Jeremi kati na boloko ya se ya mabele epai wapi awumelaki tango molayi.
17 Then Zedekiah the king sent, and fetched him: and the king asked him secretly in his house, and said, Is there any word from the LORD? And Jeremiah said, There is. He said also, Thou shalt be delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon.
Mokolo moko, mokonzi Sedesiasi atindaki ete bakende kozwa ye mpe bamema ye na ndako ya mokonzi epai wapi atunaki ye na nkuku: — Boni, ozali ata na liloba moko te kowuta epai na Yawe? Jeremi azongisaki: — Solo, liloba ezali! Okokweya na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni.
18 Moreover Jeremiah said unto king Zedekiah, Wherein have I sinned against thee, or against thy servants, or against this people, that ye have put me in prison?
Bongo Jeremi alobaki lisusu na mokonzi Sedesiasi: — Mabe nini penza ngai nasali yo to bakalaka na yo to mpe bato na yo mpo ete bobwaka ngai kati na boloko oyo?
19 Where now are your prophets which prophesied unto you, saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against you, nor against this land?
Wapi basakoli na bino oyo bazalaki koloba ete mokonzi ya Babiloni akoya te kobundisa bino mpe mokili na bino?
20 And now hear, I pray thee, O my lord the king: let my supplication, I pray thee, be accepted before thee; that thou cause me not to return to the house of Jonathan the scribe, lest I die there.
Kasi sik’oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, nabondeli yo: yoka ngai! Tika ete mabondeli na ngai ekoma liboso na yo: kozongisa ngai te kati na ndako ya Jonatan, mokomi mikanda, noki te nakokufa kuna!
21 Then Zedekiah the king commanded, and they committed Jeremiah into the court of the guard, and they gave him daily a loaf of bread out of the bakers’ street, until all the bread in the city was spent. Thus Jeremiah remained in the court of the guard.
Mokonzi Sedesiasi apesaki mitindo ete batia Jeremi kati na lopango ya bakengeli mpe bapesaka ye, mokolo na mokolo, lipa moko oyo ekobanda kowuta na balabala ya bato oyo basalaka mapa, kino tango mapa ekosila kati na engumba. Boye, Jeremi avandaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli.
