Jeremiah 25
1 The word which came upon Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, —the same, was the first year of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi na tina na bato nyonso ya Yuda, tango Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu minei na bokonzi, mpe Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, akokisaki mobu moko na bokonzi.
2 which word Jeremiah the prophet spake concerning all the people of Judah, and against all the inhabitants of Jerusalem saying: —
Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe na bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi:
3 From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah even until this day, the which is the twenty-third year, hath the word of Yahweh come unto me; and I have spoken unto you, betimes, speaking, yet have ye not hearkened.
« Wuta tango Joziasi, mwana mobali ya Amoni, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na misato na bokonzi kino na mokolo ya lelo, ekokisi mibu tuku mibale na misato oyo nayebisaka bino tango na tango liloba oyo Yawe azalaki koloba na ngai, kasi boyokaki ngai te.
4 And Yahweh sent unto you all, his servants the prophets, betimes sending, though ye hearkened not, neither inclined ye your ear to hear:
Mpe atako Yawe azalaki kotindela bino tango na tango basakoli, basali na Ye, kasi bosalaki kaka keba te mpo na koyoka liloba na Ye.
5 saying, —Return I pray you every one from his wicked way and from the wickedness of your doings, So shall ye remain on the soil which Yahweh hath given to you and to your fathers, —even from age to age;
Bazalaki koloba na bino: ‹ Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino abongola motema, atika nzela mpe misala na ye ya mabe; pamba te ezali na nzela wana nde bokoki kowumela na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bino mpe batata na bino, wuta kala, mpo na libela.
6 But do not go away after other gods to serve them and to bow down to them, —So shall ye not provoke me to anger with the work of your hands, and I will not bring calamity upon you;
Bolanda banzambe mosusu te, bosalela mpe bofukamela yango te; bopelisa kanda na Ngai te na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko oyo maboko na bino esali, mpe Ngai nakomonisa bino pasi te.
7 Howbeit ye hearkened not unto me, Declareth Yahweh, —that ye might provoke me to anger with the work of your hands unto your own hurt.
Kasi boyokaki Ngai te, › elobi Yawe, ‹ botumbolaki Ngai kutu na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko, oyo maboko na bino esalaki, mpe bomibendelaki bino moko pasi. › »
8 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, —Because ye have not heard my words,
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Lokola boyokaki maloba na Ngai te,
9 Behold me! sending and fetching all the families of the North, Declareth Yahweh and Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon my servant, And I will bring them in against this land and against its inhabitants, and against all these nations, round about, —And I will devote them to destruction, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and age-abiding desolations.
nakobengisa bato nyonso ya bikolo ya nor mpe mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala ete babundisa mokili oyo, bavandi na yango mpe bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga. Nakobebisa bango penza mpe nakokomisa bango eloko ya somo mpe ya kotiola; boye bakotikala seko na seko libebi.
10 And I will banish from among them—The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, —The sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp:
Nakolongola kati na bango pole ya mwinda, banzembo ya esengo mpe kosepela, makelele ya bisengo ya libala ya sika mpe ya libanga oyo banikelaka ble.
11 So shall all this land become a desolation, an astonishment, And these nations shall serve the king of Babylon, seventy years.
Mokili oyo mobimba ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te; mpe bikolo oyo ekosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni mibu tuku sambo.
12 And it shall some to pass—When the seventy years are fulfilled, I will visit upon the king of Babylon and upon that nation, Declareth Yahweh their iniquity, and upon the land of the Chaldeans, —and I will turn it into age-abiding desolations.
Kasi soki mibu tuku sambo ekoki, nakopesa mokonzi ya Babiloni elongo na ekolo na ye mpe mokili ya bato ya Babiloni etumbu mpo na mabe oyo basalaki, » elobi Yawe, « mpe nakobebisa yango mpo na libela.
13 So will I bring upon that land, All my words which I have spoken against it, —Even all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah hath prophesied against all the nations.
Nakokokisa kati na mokili yango maloba nyonso oyo nalobaki mpo na kotelemela yango, maloba nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo, maloba oyo Jeremi asakolaki mpo na kotelemela bikolo nyonso.
14 For many nations and great kings have used, even them, as slaves, So will I recompense to them—According to their deed and According to the work of their own hands.
Bango, bato ya Babiloni, bakokoma mpe bawumbu ya bikolo ebele mpe ya bakonzi ya nguya; nakosalela bango kolanda etamboli mpe misala ya maboko na bango. »
15 For, thus, said Yahweh, God of Israel unto me, Take this cup of indignation wine out of my hand, —and cause all the nations unto whom I am sending thee, to drink it:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobaki na ngai: « Kamata na loboko na Ngai kopo etonda na vino ya kanda na Ngai mpe melisa yango bikolo nyonso epai wapi nakotinda yo.
16 Yea they shall drink and reel to and fro and act as madmen, because of the sword which I am sending between them.
Tango bakomela yango, bakolangwa mpe bakokoma kotenga-tenga liboso ya mopanga oyo nakotinda kati na bango. »
17 So I took the cup out of the hand of Yahweh, —and caused all the nations unto whom Yahweh had sent me to drink:
Boye, nakamataki kopo yango na loboko ya Yawe mpe namelisaki yango bikolo nyonso epai wapi atindaki ngai:
18 [to wit said he] —Jerusalem, and the cities of Judah, and her kings her princes, —making them a desolation, an astonishment, a hissing, and a contempt, as at this day;
Yelusalemi elongo na bingumba ya Yuda, bakonzi mpe bakalaka na yango; mpo na kobebisa yango, kokomisa yango eloko ya somo, ya maseki mpe ya lisuma, ndenge ezali komonana sik’oyo.
19 Pharaoh king of Egypt and his servants and his princes, and all his people;
Namelisaki yango Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; basali na ye, bakalaka na ye, bato na ye nyonso,
20 And all the Bedawin, and all the kings of the land of Uz, —and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, even Ashkelon, and Gaza, and Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
bapaya nyonso oyo bavandaka kuna, bakonzi nyonso ya mokili ya Utsi; bakonzi nyonso ya mokili ya Filisitia, ya Ashikeloni, ya Gaza, ya Ekroni mpe ya bato oyo batikalaki na Asidodi;
21 Edom and Moab, and the sons of Ammon;
Edomi, Moabi, bato ya Amoni;
22 And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Zidon, —and the kings of the Coastland, that is beyond the sea;
bakonzi nyonso ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni; bakonzi ya bisanga mpe ya bituka oyo ezalaka pene ya ebale monene;
23 Dedan, and Tema, and Buz, and all the clipt-beards;
Dedani, Tema, Buzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bavandaka mosika mpe batikaka mandefu te;
24 And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the Bedawin, who dwell in the desert;
bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi mpe bakonzi nyonso ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bavandaka kati na esobe;
25 And all the kings of Zimri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of the Medes;
bakonzi nyonso ya Zimiri, ya Elami mpe ya Medi;
26 And all the kings of the North, the near and the far every man with his brother, and all the kingdoms of the earth which are on the face of the ground; And the king of Sheshach, shall drink, after them.
bakonzi nyonso ya nor, oyo bazalaka pene mpe ba-oyo bazalaka mosika, moko pene na mosusu, bakonzi ya mboka nyonso oyo ezalaka na mokili. Sima na bango nyonso, mokonzi ya Sheshaki mpe akomela yango.
27 Therefore shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Drink ye and be drunken, and vomit, and fall and rise not, —because of the sword which I am sending between you.
« Boye loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bomela, bolangwa mpe bosanza, bokweya mpo na kotelema lisusu te, mpo na mopanga oyo nakotinda kati na bino. ›
28 And it shall be when they shall refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, then shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Ye shall certainly drink;
Soki baboyi kozwa mpe komela kopo oyo ezali na loboko na yo, okoloba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Bomela! Bomela!
29 For lo! with the city on which my Name hath been called, am I making a beginning of sending calamity, And shall, ye, be held, guiltless? Ye shall not be held guiltless: For a sword, am I proclaiming against all the inhabitants of the earth, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Pamba te, botala! Ezali na engumba epai wapi babelelaka Kombo na Ngai nde nabandi kotinda pasi; boni, bokanisi ete bino bokozwa etumbu te? Bokozanga te kozwa etumbu, pamba te nazali koyeisa mopanga kati na bavandi nyonso ya mokili, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. ›
30 Thou, therefore, shalt prophesy against them all these words, —and shalt say unto them—Yahweh, from on high, will roar Yea from his holy habitation, will utter his voice, He will, roar mightily over his home, With a shout as of them who tread the winepress, will he answer unto all the inhabitants of the earth.
Sakola maloba oyo nyonso mpo na kotelemela bango mpe loba na bango: ‹ Yawe azali koganga wuta na likolo, azali kotomboka lokola kake wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule, azali konguluma makasi mpo na kotelemela mokili na Ye! Akoganga lokola bato oyo bakamolaka mbuma ya vino, akogangela bavandi nyonso ya mokili oyo!
31 There hath come in a tumult as far as the end of the earth, For a controversy, hath Yahweh with the nations, Himself, hath entered into judgment with all flesh, —As for the lawless, he hath delivered them to the sword Declareth Yahweh.
Makelele ya makasi ekoyokana kino na suka ya mokili; pamba te Yawe akosambisa bikolo, akosambisa bato nyonso, akobomisa bato mabe na mopanga, › » elobi Yawe.
32 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Lo calamity! going forth from nation to nation, —And a great tempest, shall bestirred up, out of the remote parts of the earth.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala! Pasi ezali kopanzana longwa na ekolo moko kino na ekolo mosusu; mopepe makasi etelemi longwa na basuka ya mokili. »
33 Then shall the slain of Yahweh in that day, be from one end of the earth, even unto the other end of the earth, —They shall not be lamented, nor gathered together nor buried, As dung, on the face of the ground, shall they serve.
Na tango wana, bato oyo Yawe akoboma bakozala bisika nyonso, longwa na songe moko kino na songe mosusu ya mokili. Bakosalela bango matanga te, bakosangisa bango te mpo na kokunda bango.
34 Howl ye shepherds and make outcry, And roll in the dust ye illustrious of the flock, Because your days for being slaughtered, are fulfilled, —Therefore will I break you in pieces, and ye shall fall like a precious vessel!
Bino babateli bibwele, bolela mpe boganga! Bino bakambi ya bitonga, bobaluka-baluka na putulu! Pamba te tango na bino ya kokufa ekoki! Bokokweya mpe bokopanzana mike-mike lokola mbeki.
35 Then shall place of refuge vanish from the shepherds, And escape from the illustrious of the flock.
Babateli bibwele bakozanga esika ya kokimela; bakambi ya bampate bakozanga esika ya kobombama.
36 The voice of the outcry of the shepherds! Yea the howling of the illustrious of the flock!—Because Yahweh is laying waste the grounds where they fed.
Boyoka koganga ya babateli bibwele, kolela ya bakambi ya bampate, pamba te Yawe azali kobebisa bazamba epai wapi bibwele eliaka.
37 Then shall be silenced the prosperous pastures, —Because of the fierceness of the anger of Yahweh.
Bitando ya kimia ekotikala pamba likolo ya kanda ya Yawe.
38 He hath left as a lion his covert, For their land hath become a horror, Because of the fierceness of oppression and Because of the fierceness of his anger.
Lokola nkosi etikaka ndako na yango, mokili na bango mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te likolo ya mopanga ya banyokoli na bango mpe likolo ya kanda ya Yawe.
