< Jeremiah 27 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, came this word unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh, saying:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
2 Thus, said Yahweh unto me, Make thee, bonds and bars, and put them upon thine own neck.
Tala liloba oyo Ngai Yawe nalobi: « Sala ekangiseli na basinga mpe banzete mpe kanga yango na kingo na yo.
3 Then shalt thou send them unto the king of Edom and unto the king of Moab and unto the king of the sons of Ammon, and unto the king of Tyre and unto the king of Zidon, —by the hand of messengers coming into Jerusalem, unto Zedekiah king of Judah.
Bongo tinda maloba epai ya bakonzi ya Edomi, ya Moabi, ya Amoni, ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni na nzela ya batindami oyo bayei na Yelusalemi mpo na kokutana na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda.
4 And thou shall give them charge unto their lords saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Thus shall ye say unto your lords: —
Pesa bango sango oyo bakomemela bakonzi na bango mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‘Boyebisa bakonzi na bino maloba oyo:
5 I, made The earth—The man and the beast that are on the face of the earth—By my great power, And by mine outstretched arm, —And gave it to whomsoever was right in mine own eyes.
Ngai nde nasalaki mabele, nasalaki bato mpe banyama nyonso oyo bazali kati na yango, na nguya monene na Ngai mpe na loboko na Ngai oyo esembolama. Napesaka mabele yango epai ya moto nyonso oyo Ngai nalingi.
6 Now, therefore, I, have given all these lands, into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon my servant, —Moreover also, the wild beast of the field, have I given him, to serve him.
Sik’oyo, Ngai, nakabi mikili oyo nyonso na maboko ya mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni; nakabi mpe na maboko na ye ata banyama ya zamba mpo ete etosa ye.
7 Therefore shall all the nations serve him, and his son, and his son’s son, —until the time even of his own land, itself arrive, when many nations and great kings, shall use him as a slave.
Bikolo nyonso ekotosa ye, mwana na ye ya mobali mpe koko na ye, kino tango ya mokili na ye mpe ekokoka; bongo bikolo ebele mpe bakonzi ya nguya bakokonza ye.
8 And it shall come to pass that, the nation or kingdom which will not serve him, even Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, —with sword and with famine, and with pestilence, will I bring punishment upon that nation, Declareth Yahweh, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Soki ekolo moko to mokili moko eboyi kosalela Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, to eboyi komema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, nakopesa ekolo yango etumbu na nzela mopanga, ya nzala makasi mpe ya bokono oyo ebomaka, elobi Yawe, kino nakobebisa yango na nzela ya loboko na ye.
9 Ye, therefore do not ye hearken unto your prophets, nor unto your diviners, nor unto your dreams, nor unto your users of hidden arts nor unto your mutterers of incantations, —in that, they, are speaking unto you saying, Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon;
Boye, boyokela te basakoli na bino, bato na bino ya soloka, bato na bino oyo balimbolaka bandoto, bato na bino oyo basololaka na bakufi, oyo bazali koloba na bino ete bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni te.
10 for falsehood, are they prophesying unto you, that ye may be far removed from off your own soil, and I drive you out, and ye be destroyed
Bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta, kaka mpo na komema bino mosika ya mokili na bino. Ngai nakobengana bino solo mpe bokokufa.
11 But the nation that shall bring its neck into the yoke of the king of Babylon and serve him, I will let them remain in quietness upon their own soil, Declareth Yahweh, and they shall till it, and dwell therein.
Kasi soki ekolo moko endimi komema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe endimi kosalela ye, nakotika ekolo yango na kimia kati na mokili na bango mpo ete basala bilanga mpe bawumela kuna, elobi Yawe.’ › »
12 Also unto Zedekiah king of Judah, spake I, according to all these words saying, -Bring your necks into the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people and live!
Bongo napesaki sango kaka wana epai ya Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: « Bomema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bosalela ye elongo na bato na ye, bongo bokobika!
13 Wherefore, should ye die, thou, and thy people, by sword, by famine, and by pestilence, —as Yahweh hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Mpo na nini bino elongo na bato na bino bokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka ndenge Yawe akataki mpo na ekolo nyonso oyo ekoboya kosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni?
14 Do not, then hearken unto the words of the prophets who are speaking unto you, saying—Ye shall not serve the king of Babylon, —for falsehood, are they prophesying unto you.
Boyoka te maloba ya basakoli oyo bazali koloba na bino: ‹ Bokosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni te! › Bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta.
15 For I have not sent them, Declareth Yahweh, but they are prophesying in my name, falsely, —to the end I may drive you out and ye be destroyed, ye and the prophets who are prophesying unto you.
Natindaki bango te, » elobi Yawe, « bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai. Nakobengana bino mpe bokokufa, bino mpe basakoli oyo bazali kosakola epai na bino. »
16 Also unto the priests, and unto all this people, spake I, saying, Thus! saith Yahweh, Do not hearken unto the words of your prophets, who are prophesying unto you saying, Lo! the vessels of the house of Yahweh, are to be brought back out of Babylon now, quickly; for falsehood, are they prophesying unto you.
Bongo nalobaki na Banganga-Nzambe mpe na bato nyonso: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Boyoka te basakoli na bino, oyo bazali koloba: ‹ Tala, bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekozonga noki wuta na Babiloni. › Bazali koloba na bino makambo ya lokuta!
17 Do not hearken unto them, serve the king of Babylon land live! wherefore, should this city become a desolation?
Boyoka bango te! Bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni, bongo bokobika! Mpo na nini engumba oyo ebebisama?
18 But, if prophets, they are, and if the word of Yahweh is with them, let them intercede, I pray you, with Yahweh of hosts, that the vessels which are left remaining in the house of Yahweh and the house of the king of Judah and in Jerusalem, come not into Babylon.
Soki bazali solo basakoli mpe Liloba na Yawe ezali kati na bango, tika ete basambela Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpo ete bisalelo oyo etikalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi ekende na Babiloni te.
19 For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—Concerning the pillars, and concerning the sea, and concerning the stands, —and concerning the residue of the vessels that remain in this city
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi na tina na makonzi, nzungu ya monene ya bronze, bivandelo na yango mpe bisalelo mosusu oyo etikalaki kati na engumba wana,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon took not when he carried away captive Jeconiah son of Jehoiakim king of Judah from Jerusalem to Babylon, —with all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem,
bisalelo oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atikaki tango amemaki Yekonia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na bowumbu longwa na Yelusalemi kino na Babiloni, elongo na bankumu nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi;
21 Yea—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel Concerning the vessels that are left in thee house of Yahweh and the house of the king of Judah, and Jerusalem,
tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na biloko oyo etikalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi:
22 Into Babylon, shall they be taken And there, shall they remain, Until the day that I visit them, Declareth Yahweh, When I will bring them up, and restore them unto this place.
‹ Bakomema yango na Babiloni, mpe ekotikala kuna kino na mokolo oyo nakolandela yango, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nakolongola yango mpe nakozongisa yango na esika oyo, elobi Yawe. › »
