Jeremiah 49
1 Of the sons of Ammon-Thus saith Yahweh: Hath Israel no, sons? Hath he no, heir? Why hath, Malkam, taken possession of Gad, Or have, his people, in the cities thereof, made their dwelling?
Na tina na bato ya Amoni: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boni, Isalaele atikali lisusu na bana mibali te? Atikali lisusu na bakitani ya libula te? Bongo mpo na nini Moloki, nzambe ya bato ya Amoni, abotoli bingumba ya Gadi? Mpo na nini bato na ye bayei kovanda na Gadi?
2 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh When I will cause to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, an alarm of war, So shall she become a mound of desolation, And, her villages, with fire, shall blaze, —Then shall Israel, inherit them who inherited him, Saith Yahweh.
Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala ete lokito ya bitumba eyokana mpo na kobundisa Raba, engumba ya bato ya Amoni; ekokoma esika ya mabe mpe bamboka mike na yango ekozikisama na moto. Bongo Isalaele akobengana bato oyo babenganaki ye, » elobi Yawe.
3 Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is spoiled Make outcry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird you with sackcloth, Lament ye and run to and fro among the fences, —For, Malkam, into captivity, shall go, His priests and his princes, together.
« Eshiboni, lela mpo ete Ayi ebebisami! Bino bavandi ya Raba, boganga! Bolata basaki mpe bosala matanga, bokima na bangambo nyonso ya mir, pamba te Moloki akokende na bowumbu elongo na banganga-nzambe mpe bakambi na ye.
4 Why shouldst thou glory in the vales, The flowing of thy vale O apostate daughter? She who is trusting in her treasures, [saying, ] Who shall invade, me?
Mpo na nini ozali komikumisa na tina na mabwaku na yo, mabwaku oyo ebotaka bambuma ebele? Oh elenge mwasi oyo otambolaka na bosembo te, ozali solo kotia motema na bomengo na yo mpe ozali koloba: ‹ Nani akobundisa ngai? ›
5 Behold me! bringing upon thee, terror Declareth My Lord, Yahweh of hosts, From all who are round about thee, —And ye shall be driven out every man before it, And there shall be none to bring home the wanderer;
Nakomemela yo pasi, wuta na zingazinga na yo, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Bakomema moko na moko kati na bino na bowumbu, mpe moto ata moko te akokoka kosangisa bato oyo bakokima.
6 But afterwards, will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, Declareth Yahweh.
Kasi sima na mikolo, nakozongisa lisusu lokumu ya bato ya Amoni, » elobi Yawe.
7 Of Edom—Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Is there no longer wisdom in Teman? Hath counsel perished from the discerning? Is their wisdom corrupt?
Na tina na Edomi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Boni, engumba ya Temani etikali lisusu na bato ya bwanya te? Bato ya mayele batikali lisusu na bososoli te? Boni, bwanya na bango esili penza?
8 Flee ye turn go down deep to dwell, O inhabitant of Dedan, —For the doom of Esau, have I brought in upon him The time of his visitation.
Bobaluka mpe bokima, bokende kobombama na madusu ya mabanga, bino bavandi ya engumba Dedani! Pamba te nakotindela Ezawu pasi tango nakopesa ye etumbu.
9 If, grape-gatherers, came to thee, Would they not leave, gleanings? If, thieves in the night, Would they not have taken away what sufficed them?
Soki bato oyo babukaka bambuma ya vino bayei epai na yo, bakotika ata mbuma moko te ya vino. Soki miyibi bayei epai na yo na butu, bakobebisa ndenge balingi.
10 But, I, have stripped Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to conceal himself, shall he not be able! Spoiled, are his seed, and his brethren, and his neighbours, and he is not.
Kasi nakotika Ezawu bolumbu, mpe nakobimisa polele ebombamelo na ye, bongo akokoka lisusu komibomba te. Bana na ye ya mibali to bandeko na ye to mpe bazalani na ye bakosila kokufa; moko te akotikala na bomoi.
11 Leave thy fatherless children I, will preserve them alive, —And thy widows, In me, let them trust.
Tika bana bitike na yo, nakobatela bomoi na bango; mpe basi na yo, oyo bakufisa mibali bakotiela Ngai motema. »
12 For, thus saith Yahweh—Lo! they who had not been adjudged to drink the cup, shall surely drink, And art thou, the one to go unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished, but shalt surely drink.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Soki bato oyo basengeli komela kopo te bameli yango, bongo mpo na nini yo ozanga kozwa etumbu? Te, okozanga te kozwa etumbu, mpe osengeli komela kopo yango!
13 For by myself, have I sworn, Declareth Yahweh, That, Bozrah shall become, an astonishment: a reproach and a desolation, and a contempt, —And all her cities shall become age-abiding desolations.
Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « Botsira ekobebisama mpe ekokoma eloko ya somo, eloko ya kotiola mpe ya lisuma; mpe bingumba na yango nyonso ekobebisama mpo na libela. »
14 A report, have I heard from Yahweh, Yea, an envoy, throughout the nations, hath been sent, —Gather yourselves together and come against her, And arise to the battle.
Nayoki sango kowuta na Yawe; mpe batindaki ntoma moko epai ya bikolo mpo na koloba: « Bosangana mpo na kobundisa yango! Botelema mpo na bitumba!
15 For lo! Small, have I made thee among the nations, —Despised among men!
Nakokomisa yo moke kati na bikolo, ekolo ya kotiola kati na bato.
16 Thy monstrous thing, hath deceived thee, The insolence of thy heart, O thou that inhabitest the hidden recesses of the cliff, That holdest fast the height of the hill, —Though thou set high as an eagle, thy nest, From thence, will I bring thee down, Declareth Yahweh;
Somo oyo bato bazali koyoka yo mpe lolendo ya motema na yo ezali kokosa yo. Yo movandi ya madusu ya mabanga, yo oyo otonga ndako na yo na basonge ya bangomba; ata soki otongi zala na yo likolo lokola mpongo, nakokweyisa yo longwa kuna kino na se, » elobi Yawe.
17 So shall, Edom, become an astonishment, —Every one passing by her, will be astonished and hiss, over all her plagues:
« Mokili ya Edomi ekokoma eloko ya somo; moto nyonso oyo akolekela wana akokamwa mpe akoyoka somo wana akomona kobeba na yango nyonso.
18 Like the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah and her neighbours, Saith Yahweh, —There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—any son of the earth-born.
Ndenge Sodome mpe Gomore ebebisamaki elongo na bingumba na yango ya zingazinga, » elobi Yawe, « moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna, moko te akowumela kati na yango.
19 Lo! like a lion, will he come up from the majesty of the Jordan, unto the pasture perennial, But I will wink—I will make him run away therefrom, Who then shall be the Chosen One whom over it, I may set in charge? For who shall be like unto, me? And who shall appoint me, a time? And who is the Shepherd that shall stand before, me?
Ndenge nkosi eyaka wuta na bazamba ya Yordani mpo na kokende na mapango epai wapi babokolaka bibwele, ndenge wana mpe nakobengana Edomi na mokili na yango na mbala moko; Ngai moko nakopona moto oyo akokoma mokonzi ya Edomi. Nani akokani na Ngai? Nani akoki kobeta tembe na Ngai? Mobateli bibwele nani akoki kotelema liboso na Ngai?
20 Wherefore, hear ye The counsel of Yahweh which he hath counseled against Edom, And his devices which he hath devised against the inhabitants of Teman, —Surely the little ones of the flock shall drag them away, Surely he will cause their fold to be astounded over them.
Yango wana, boyoka mabongisi oyo Yawe asili kosala mpo na kotelemela Edomi, mokano oyo asili kozwa mpo na kotelemela bavandi ya Temani: ‹ Bakobengana bango na lopango lokola bana mike ya etonga, akobebisa etando na bango.
21 At the noise of their fall, hath trembled the earth, At the outcry, in the Red Sea, was heard its noise.
Mabele ekoningana na lokito ya kokweya na bango, makelele na yango ekoyokana kino na ebale monene ya Barozo.
22 Lo! as an eagle, he shall mount and dart, and spread his wings over Bozrah, —So shall the heart of the heroes of Edom, in that day, become as the heart of a woman in her pain.
Tala, mpongo moko ekopumbwa mpe ekokita na elulu, etanda mapapu na yango likolo ya Botsira! Na mokolo wana, mitema ya basoda ya Edomi ekokoma lokola motema ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota. › »
23 Of Damascus. Turned pale have Hamath and Arpad, For, a calamitous report, have they heard—they tremble, —In the sea, is anxiety, it cannot, rest.
Na tina ya Damasi: « Amati mpe Aripadi batondisami na soni, pamba te bayoki sango ya mabe. Mitema na bango ekomi likolo-likolo mpe bakomi komitungisa lokola ebale oyo etomboki.
24 Enfeebled is Damascus She hath turned to flee But terror, hath seized her, —Anguish and pangs, have seized her as a woman in childbirth.
Bato ya Damasi balembi nzoto, bakomi koluka kokima mpe somo ekangi bango; kobanga mpe pasi ezwi bango lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
25 Alas! is she not forsaken—The city so praised! The citadel I rejoiced in!
Ndenge nini bosundola engumba ya lokumu boye, engumba oyo ezalaki kosepelisa motema na Ngai?
26 Therefore shall her young men fall in her broadways, —And, all her men of war, shall be silent in that day, Declareth Yahweh of hosts;
Solo, bilenge mibali na yango bakokweya na babalabala na yango na mokolo wana, basoda na yango ya mpiko bakokanga minoko, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
27 Then will I kindle a fire in the walls of Damascus, —And it shall devour the palaces of Ben-hadad.
« Nakozikisa bamir ya Damasi na moto mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako batonga makasi ya mokonzi Beni-Adadi. »
28 Of Kedar. And of the kingdoms of Hazor Which Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote—Thus, saith Yahweh, —Arise ye go up against Kedar, So shall they spoil the sons of the East:
Na tina na Kedari mpe mikili ya Atsori, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abundisaki: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Botelema mpe bobundisa Kedari, bobebisa bato ya este.
29 Their tents and their flocks, shall they take, And their curtains and all their baggage and their camels, shall they carry off for themselves, —And shall cry out unto them, Terror round about!
Bobotola na makasi bandako na bango ya kapo mpe bibwele na bango; bomema bilamba, biloko na bango ya kitoko mpe bashamo na bango! Tika ete bato bawolola bango na bangambo nyonso: ‹ Somo ekangi bango na bangambo nyonso! ›
30 Flee remove far away, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor, Urgeth Yahweh; For Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon—hath counseled against you, a counsel, And devised against you a device.
Bino bavandi ya Atsori, bokima na lombangu, bobombama na madusu ya mabanga, » elobi Yawe. « Pamba te Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, asaleli bino likita, asali penza mabongisi ya kosala bino mabe!
31 Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease—dwelling securely, Commandeth Yahweh, —Having neither doors nor bars, Alone, do they dwell:
Botelema mpe bobundisa ekolo oyo ezali na kimia, ekolo oyo ebangaka eloko moko te, » elobi Yawe, « ekolo oyo ezanga bikuke mpe banzete oyo bakangelaka bikuke, ekolo oyo bato na yango bazalaka kaka bango moko.
32 So shall their camels, become, a prey, And the throng of their cattle, a spoil, Then will I scatter them to every wind even the clipt-beards, —And from all sides of him, will I bring in their doom Declareth Yahweh.
Tika ete bashamo na bango ekoma bomengo ya bitumba, bayiba bibwele na bango ebele. Nakopanza na mopepe bavandi ya mosika, mpe nakokweyisela bango pasi longwa na bisika nyonso, » elobi Yawe.
33 So shall Hazor become A habitation of jackals An astonishment unto times age-abiding: There shall not dwell there—a man, Nor sojourn therein—a son of the earth-born.
« Atsori ekokoma esika oyo mbwa ya zamba evandaka, esika oyo etikala pamba mpo na libela: moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna mpe moto moko te akowumela lisusu kati na yango. »
34 So much of the word of Yahweh as came unto Jeremiah the prophet, Against Elam, —in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah saying: —
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na Elami, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
35 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, Behold me! breaking the bow of Elam, —The beginning of their might;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala, nakobuka tolotolo ya Elami, ebundeli oyo esalaka makasi na ye.
36 Then will I bring in against Elam four winds from the four quarters of the heavens, And will scatter them to all these winds, —And there shall be no nation whither the outcasts of Elam, shall not come;
Nakotindela Elami mipepe minei ya makasi, wuta na basonge minei ya lola, nakopanza bango na mokili mobimba mpe akozala na ekolo moko te oyo ekozanga koyamba bato ya Elami oyo bakokima.
37 And I will cause Elam to be dismayed Before their enemies Even before them who are seeking their life, So will I bring upon them calamity, Even the glow of mine anger Declareth Yahweh, —And will send after them the sword, until I have made an end of them;
Nakosala ete bato ya Elami balenga liboso ya banguna na bango, liboso ya bato oyo bazali koluka kosala bango mabe; nakokweyisela bango pasi na kanda na Ngai, » elobi Yawe. « Nakolanda bango na mopanga kino nakosilisa koboma bango.
38 And I will set my throne in Elam, —And will destroy, from thence king and princes, Declareth Yahweh;
Nakotia Kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi kati na Elami mpe nakoboma mokonzi mpe bakalaka na yango, » elobi Yawe.
39 But it shall come to pass In the afterpart of the days, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, Declareth Yahweh.
« Nzokande, na mikolo ekolanda, nakozongisa lokumu ya Elami, » elobi Yawe.
