Jeremiah 51
1 Thus, saith Yahweh—Behold me! stirring up against Babylon, And against the inhabitants of the centre of them who rise up against me, —A wind that destroyeth;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala, nakotinda mopepe ya makasi mpo na kobebisa mokili ya Babiloni mpe bato ya Lebi-Kamayi.
2 And I will send to Babylon winnowers, And they shall winnow her, And shall empty her land, —For they are against her round about in the day of calamity.
Nakotinda bapaya na Babiloni mpo na koyungola mpe kobebisa yango: bakobundisa yango na bangambo nyonso na mokolo na yango ya kosambisama.
3 Let not the archer tread his bow, Nor lift himself up in his coat of mail, —And do not spare her young men, Devote to destruction all her host.
Basoda oyo babundaka na matolotolo bakozwa tango te ya kobeta makonga na bango; bakozwa tango te ya kolata bibombelo ya tolo, bakobikisa te basoda na bango ya bilenge mpe bakoboma mampinga na bango nyonso.
4 So shall they fall wounded in the land of Chaldea, —Yea thrust through, in her streets,
Bato oyo bakokweya na mopanga bakotondisa mokili ya Babiloni mpe babalabala na yango ekotonda na bato bazoka bapota.
5 For Israel and Judah have not been widowed Of their God, Of Yahweh of hosts, —But, their land, hath been filled with punishment for guilt from the Holy One of Israel
Ata soki mokili na bango etondaki na masumu liboso ya Mosantu ya Isalaele, Nzambe na bango, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abosanaki Isalaele na Yuda te.
6 Flee out of the midst of Babylon And deliver ye every man his own life, Be not cut off in her punishment, —For it is Yahweh’s, time of avenging, A recompense, is he repaying unto her.
Bobima na Babiloni, bobikisa bomoi na bino! Soki te, bokokufa likolo ya masumu na bango. Ezali tango oyo Yawe alingi kozongisela bango mabe na mabe mpe kofuta bango ndenge ezali misala na bango.
7 A cup of gold, was Babylon in the hand of Yahweh, Making drunk all the earth, —Of her wine, have the nations drunk, For this cause have the nations been acting as men who are mad.
Babiloni ezali lokola kopo ya wolo na loboko ya Yawe; ezalaki kolangwisa mokili mobimba. Bongo bato ya bikolo bameli masanga na yango mpe bakomi lokola bazoba.
8 Suddenly, hath Babylon fallen and been broken, —Howl ye over her Fetch balsam for her pain, Peradventure she shall be healed!
Babiloni ekokweya na mbalakata mpe ekobukana! Bosala matanga mpo na yango mpe botia kisi na pota na yango, tango mosusu akobika.
9 We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed, Leave her and let us go every one to his own land, —For her judgment, reacheth unto the heavens, And mounteth as far as the skies.
‹ Tozalaki na posa ya kobikisa Babiloni, kasi akobika te; yango wana, tobima kati na yango mpe tokende, moto na moto na engumba na ye; pamba te esambiselo na ye ekomi kino na Lola, emati likolo lokola mapata. ›
10 Yahweh hath brought forth our righteousnesses, —Come and let us relate in Zion the work of Yahweh our God.
‹ Yawe apesi biso etumbu! Boya totatola na Siona makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asali. ›
11 Polish the arrows, Lay hold of the shields, —Yahweh hath roused the spirit of the kings of the Medes, For against Babylon, his purpose is, to destroy her, —For it is, The avenging of Yahweh, The avenging of his temple.
Bopelisa basonge ya makonga, bokamata banguba na bino; pamba te Yawe atindi bakonzi ya Medi mpo ete mokano na Ye ezali ya kobebisa Babiloni. Yawe akozongisa mabe na mabe, akosala yango mpo na Tempelo na Ye.
12 Against the walls of Babylon, Lift ye up a standard, Strengthen ye the watch, Station the watchmen, Make ready the ambuscades, —For Yahweh hath both planned and also performed that which he had spoken against the inhabitants of Babylon.
Botelemisa bendele na bino liboso ya bamir ya Babiloni! Bobakisa motango ya bakengeli mpe ya basinzili, botia mitambo! Yawe akokokisa mabongisi na Ye mpe ekateli ya etumbu na Ye mpo na bato ya Babiloni.
13 O thou who dwellest upon many waters, Who aboundest in treasures, —Come hath thine end! The measure of thine unrighteous gain!
Yo oyo ovandaka pembeni ya bibale minene, yo oyo otonda na bomengo mingi, suka na yo ebelemi, tango na yo ya kobebisama ekoki!
14 Yahweh of hosts hath sworn, by his own soul: Surely I have filled thee with men as with locusts, And they have answered against thee with a shout.
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alapi ndayi na Kombo na Ye moko: Solo, nakotondisa yo na bato lokola liboke ya mabanki, bongo bakobeta milolo ya elonga likolo na yo.
15 He that Made the earth in his might, Established the world in his wisdom, —And in his understanding, stretched out the heavens
Asala mabele na nguya na Ye, alendisa mokili na bwanya na Ye mpe atanda likolo na mayele na Ye.
16 By the voice that he uttered, there was a tumult of waters in the heavens, And he caused vapours to ascend from the end of the earth, —Lightnings for the rain, made he, And brought forth wind out of his treasures.
Tango agangaka, mayi etiaka makelele makasi kuna na likolo, asangisaka mapata wuta na basuka ya mokili, apelisaka mikalikali, anokisaka mvula mpe abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na Ye.
17 Every son of earth had become too brutish to know, —Every goldsmith, hath been put to shame, by a graven image, —For a falsehood, is his molten image Seeing there is no breath in them:
Bato nyonso bakomaka lokola bazoba, lokola bato oyo basili mayele; monyangwisi bibende na moto atikalaka na soni likolo na bikeko na ye, pamba te bikeko na ye ezalaka na yango biloko ya lokuta, ezalaka na pema te kati na yango.
18 Vanity, they are, A handiwork of mockeries, —In the time of their visitation, shall they perish.
Ezali biloko ya pamba, biloko ya kotiola; ekolimwa na tango ya kosambisama.
19 Not like these, is the portion of Jacob, For the fashioner of all things, is he! And the portion of his inheritance, —Yahweh of hosts, is his name.
Ye oyo azali libula ya Jakobi akokani na bikeko wana te, pamba te azali Mokeli ya biloko nyonso, ezala ata ekolo oyo ezali libula na Ye; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
20 A war-club, art thou for me, Weapons of war; Therefore will I Beat down with thee—nations, and Destroy with thee—kingdoms;
Ozalaki solo marto, ebundeli na Ngai ya bitumba: elongo na yo, napanzaki bikolo; elongo na yo, nabebisaki mikili;
21 and Beat down with thee—the horse and his rider, —and Beat down with thee—the chariot and its rider;
elongo na yo, napanzaki mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango; elongo na yo, napanzaki shar mpe motambolisi na yango;
22 and Beat down with thee—man and woman, and Beat down with thee—elder and youth, and Beat down with thee—young man and virgin;
elongo na yo, napanzaki mwasi mpe mobali; elongo na yo, napanzaki mibange mpe bilenge; elongo na yo, napanzaki bilenge mibali mpe bilenge basi;
23 and Beat down with thee—the shepherd and his flock, and Beat down with thee—the plowman and his yoke; —and Beat down with thee—governors and deputies:
elongo na yo, napanzaki babateli bibwele mpe bibwele na bango; elongo na yo, napanzaki mosali bilanga mpe bangombe na ye; elongo na yo, napanzaki bayangeli mpe bakalaka.
24 So will I recompense to Babylon, And to all the inhabitants of Chaldea, All their wickedness which they have committed against Zion before your eyes, —Declareth Yahweh.
Nakozongisela Babiloni mpe bavandi na yango nyonso mabe nyonso oyo basalaki Siona, » elobi Yawe.
25 Behold me! against thee, O destroying mountain Declareth Yahweh, That destroyest all the earth, —Therefore will I stretch out my hand over thee, And roll thee down from the crags, And make of thee a burning mountain:
« Yo ngomba oyo obebisaka, yo oyo obebisaka mokili, nakotelemela yo, » elobi Yawe, « nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kotelemela yo, nakokitisa yo wuta na likolo ya mabanga, mpe nakokomisa yo ngomba ezika na moto.
26 So shall they not fetch from thee A stone for a corner nor A stone for a foundation, —For desolations age-abiding, shalt thou become Declareth Yahweh.
Bakotikala lisusu te kozwa epai na yo libanga oyo batongelaka basonge ya bamir to libanga oyo batongelaka miboko; pamba te okobebisama mpo na libela, » elobi Yawe.
27 Set ye up an ensign in the earth Blow ye a horn among the nations Hallow against her—nations, Summon against her the kingdoms of Ararat Minni, and Ashkenaz, —Set in charge against her a marshal, Bring up cavalry like hairy locusts:
« Botelemisa bendele kati na mokili! Bobeta kelelo kati na bikolo! Bobongisa bikolo mpo na kobundisa Babiloni, bobenga bakonzi ya basoda ya mikili ya Ararati, ya Mini mpe ya Ashikenazi mpo ete babundisa yango. Bopona mokonzi moko ya basoda mpo ete atambolisa bitumba, botinda bampunda lokola liboke ya mabanki.
28 Hallow against her—nations, With the kings of Media, With her governors and all her deputies, —And with all the land of his dominion:
Bobongisa bikolo mpo na kobundisa yango: bakonzi ya Medi, bayangeli na bango mpe bakalaka na bango nyonso mpe bamboka nyonso oyo bazali kokamba.
29 Then did the land tremble and was in pain, —For the plans of Yahweh, had been established against Babylon, To make the land of Babylon an astonishment, without inhabitant.
Mikili ezali koningana mpe kotepatepa, pamba te mikano ya Yawe mpo na Babiloni ezali kokokisama mpo na kobebisa yango mpo ete, ata moto moko te atikala kovanda lisusu kuna.
30 The heroes of Babylon have ceased to fight They have remained in the strongholds, Parched is their might, They have become women, —They have set fire to her habitations, Broken are her bars!
Basoda ya Babiloni batiki kobunda, babombami kati na bandako batonga makasi. Makasi na bango esili, bakomi lokola basi. Bandako ya Babiloni etumbami mpe babuki bikangelo bikuke na yango.
31 Runner to meet runner, shall they run, And teller to meet teller, -To tell the king of Babylon, That captured is his city at the end!
Bato oyo bamemaka mikanda bazali kolandana mbangu, mpe bamemi sango bazali kolandana mbangu mpo na koyebisa mokonzi ya Babiloni ete babotoli engumba mobimba,
32 and The fords, have been seized, and The reeds, have they burned with fire; and The men of war, are dismayed!
bakangi bapon mpe bibale; banzete oyo ebotaka na mayi esili na kozika moto mpe basoda bakomi na somo. »
33 For, thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, The daughter of Babylon, is like a threshing, floor at the time of treading her: Yet a little, and the time of harvest shall overtake her.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Elenge mwasi Babiloni azali lokola etando ya ble na tango banyataka-nyataka yango; mpe etikali moke, tango ya kokata ble ekokoka mpo na yango.
34 Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon—Hath devoured me Hath vexed me, Hath set me down as an empty vessel, He hath swallowed me like a sea-monster, He hath filled his belly with my dainties, —He hath driven me away!
Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abomaki biso; solo, atiaki biso na mobulu, akomisaki biso lokola mbeki ya pamba; amelaki biso ndenge nguma emelaka nyama, atondisaki libumu na ye na biloko na biso ya kitoko; mpe sima, asanzaki biso.
35 The violence done to me and to my flesh, be upon Babylon! Shall the inhabitress of Zion say, —Yea, my blood, be upon the inhabitant of Chaldea! Shall Jerusalem say.
Tika ete mabe oyo basali biso mpe bana na biso ekweyela Babiloni, » elobi bavandi ya Siona! « Tika ete makila na biso etangama na mito ya bavandi ya Babiloni, elobi bavandi ya Yelusalemi! »
36 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! pleading thy cause, So then I will execute the avenging of thee; And will dry up her sea, And make dry her spring:
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala, nakozwa likambo na yo na maboko mpe nakozongisa mabe na bato oyo basalaki yo mabe, nakokawusa ebale na yango ya monene mpe nakokawusa maziba na yango.
37 Thus shall Babylon become—Heaps A habitation of jackals An astonishment, and A hissing, Without inhabitant.
Mokili ya Babiloni ekokoma liboke ya mabanga, ndako ya mbwa ya zamba, eloko ya somo mpe ya kotiola; bongo, bato bakovanda lisusu kuna te.
38 Together, like wild lions, shall they roar, —They have growled like lions’ whelps.
Bato na yango nyonso bakokoma koganga lokola nkosi ya mike mpe kolela lokola bana ya nkosi.
39 When they are heated, I will spread their banquets, And let them drink that they may become uproarious, So shall they sleep an age-abiding sleep and not wake, —Declareth Yahweh.
Kasi tango bakokoma na posa makasi ya kosangisa nzoto, nakobongisela bango feti mpe nakolangwisa bango masanga mpo ete batondisama na esengo; bongo, bakolala pongi ya libela mpe bakoka lisusu kolamuka te, » elobi Yawe,
40 I will bring them down As fat lambs to slaughter, —As rams with he-goats.
« nakomema bango ndenge bamemaka bampate to bameme ya mibali to mpe bantaba ya mibali na esika oyo babomelaka bibwele.
41 How hath Sheshach, been captured! How hath the praise of all the earth been seized! How hath Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
Ndenge nini bakangi Sheshaki! Ndenge nini basukisi lolendo ya ekolo oyo ezalaki kosala lokumu ya mokili mobimba! Ndenge nini penza Babiloni ekomi penza eloko ya somo kati na bikolo!
42 The sea, hath gone up over Babylon, —With the multitude of its rolling waves, is she covered.
Ebale monene ekozindisa Babiloni, makelele ya bambonge na yango ekozipa mokili ya Babiloni.
43 Her cities have become, an astonishment, A land parched up, and a waste plain, —A land wherein shall no man dwell, Nor pass through them a son of the earth-born!
Bingumba na yango ekobebisama, ekokoma lokola mokili oyo ekawuka to lokola esobe, mokili oyo bato bavandaka te, mokili epai wapi bato bayaka na mibembo te.
44 So will I bring punishment upon Bel in Babylon, And will bring forth what he hath swallowed out of his mouth, And the nations shall stream unto him no more, —Even the wall of Babylon hath fallen!
Nakopesa Beli etumbu kati na Babiloni, nakobimisa ye eloko oyo ameli na monoko; ekolo moko te ekoya lisusu epai na ye mpe bamir ya Babiloni ekokweya.
45 Come ye forth out of her midst O my people, And deliver ye every man his own life, —Because of the glow of the anger of Yahweh.
Oh bato na Ngai, bobima na Babiloni! Bobikisa bomoi na bino liboso ya kanda makasi ya Yawe!
46 And let not your heart be timid, nor be ye afraid, Because of the report that is reported in the earth When there shall come in one year, the report And after that in another year, the report, With violence in the earth, and ruler upon ruler.
Bobanga te mpe bolemba nzoto te tango bokoyoka basango ya mabe kati na mokili: mobu oyo, sango ya mabe; mobu oyo elandi, sango mosusu ya mabe; kaka sango ya mobulu kati na mokili to sango ya mokonzi moko abundisi mokonzi mosusu.
47 Therefore, lo! days coming when I will bring punishment upon the images of Babylon, And all her land, shall turn pale, —Yea, all her wounded, shall fall in her midst.
Pamba te tango ekoya solo, tango oyo nakopesa etumbu na banzambe ya Babiloni; mpe mokili na yango nyonso ekozala na soni, mpe bato na yango nyonso oyo bazokisa makasi na mopanga bakokufa kuna.
48 Then shall shout over Babylon—heavens and earth and all who are therein, —For out of the North, shall come to her the spoilers Declareth Yahweh.
Bongo likolo, mabele mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ekoganga na esengo mpo na komona kobebisama ya Babiloni, pamba te babebisi bakobimela na nor mpo na kobundisa yango, » elobi Yawe.
49 Not only hath Babylon, caused the fall of the slain of Israel, —By Babylon, also have fallen the slain of all the earth.
« Babiloni mpe esengeli kokweya, mpo na bana ya Isalaele oyo bakufaki, ndenge kaka bato ya mokili mobimba bakufaki mpo na Babiloni.
50 Ye that have escaped the sword, depart do not stand still, —Remember, from afar Yahweh, Let, Jerusalem, come up on your heart: -
Bino bato oyo bobiki na mopanga, bokima, bolekisa tango te! Wuta na mokili ya mosika, bokanisa Yawe mpe Yelusalemi!
51 We have turned pale for we have heard a reproach, Confusion, hath covered our faces, —For aliens have entered upon the hallowed places of the house of Yahweh!
Tosambwe, pamba te totiolami; mpe bilongi na biso ezipami na soni mpo ete bapaya bakoti kino na bisika ya bule ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
52 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When I will bring punishment upon her images; And throughout all her land, shall the pierced one groan.
Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakopesa etumbu na banzambe ya Babiloni, mpe mokili mobimba ekotonda na makelele ya bato oyo bazoka bapota ya somo.
53 Though Babylon should mount the heavens, And though she should fortify her strong high-place, From me, should come spoilers unto her Declareth Yahweh.
Ata soki mokili ya Babiloni emati kino na Lola mpe elendisi bandako na yango oyo batonga makasi, nakotindela yango bato mpo na kokweyisa yango, » elobi Yawe.
54 A voice of outcry from Babylon! And a great crash from the land of the Chaldeans!
« Makelele ya koganga ekoyokana, wuta na mokili ya Babiloni, lokito makasi ya kobebisama ya mokili ya bato ya Babiloni.
55 For, Yahweh, is spoiling Babylon, And will destroy out of her the loud voice, —Though their waves have roared like many waters, Been uttered the loud boast of their voice.
Pamba te Yawe akobebisa Babiloni mpe akokanga yango monoko. Lokito ya banguna ekoyokana lokola makelele ya bambonge ya bibale minene; bongo mingongo ya bato ekoyokana makasi.
56 For there hath come upon her—upon Babylon—a spoiler, And captured are their heroes And broken are their bows, —For, a GOD of recompenses, is Yahweh, He will surely repay.
Mobebisi akoya kobundisa Babiloni; bongo bakokanga basoda na yango ya mpiko mpe bakobuka matolotolo na bango, pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe oyo afutaka: afutaka kolanda misala ya moto na moto.
57 Then will I make drunk—Her princes and her wise men, Her governors, and her deputies and her heroes, And they shall sleep an age-abiding sleep, and not wake, —Declareth the King, Yahweh of hosts, is his name.
Nakolangwisa masanga: bakalaka mpe bato na yango ya bwanya, bayangeli, bakonzi ya basoda mpe basoda na yango ya mpiko. Bakolala pongi ya libela mpe bakolamuka lisusu te, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali: Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
58 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts—The broad walls of Babylon, shall be laid utterly bare, And, her lofty gates, with fire, shall be burned, —And peoples shall labour for emptiness, And populations, for the fire, shall weary themselves.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Bamir nyonso ya milayi ya Babiloni ekokweyisama mpe bikuke na yango nyonso ya minene ekozikisama na moto; bato bazali kosala bobele mosala ya pamba mpe bato ya bikolo mosusu bazali komimonisa pasi mpo na mosala oyo ekobeba na moto. »
59 The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, when he went with Zedekiah king of Judah into Babylon, in the fourth year of his reign, —now Seraiah, was travelling-marshal.
Tala sango oyo mosakoli Jeremi apesaki epai ya Seraya, mwana mobali ya Neriya, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, tango akendeki na Babiloni elongo na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi na ye. Seraya azalaki mokonzi ya molako.
60 So Jeremiah wrote all the calamity which was to come unto Babylon in one scroll; even all these words which have been written against Babylon.
Jeremi akomaki kati na buku pasi nyonso oyo esengelaki kokomela Babiloni. Makambo wana nyonso ekomamaki na tina na mokili ya Babiloni.
61 Then said Jeremiah unto Seraiah, —When thou comest into Babylon, then shalt thou look out and read all these words;
Jeremi alobaki na Seraya: « Tango okokoma kati na Babiloni, sala ete otanga makambo oyo nyonso na mongongo makasi.
62 and thou shalt say—O Yahweh! thou, thyself, hast spoken against this place to cut it off, That there be in it no inhabitant Neither man nor beast, —But desolations age-abiding, shall it become!
Bongo okoloba: ‹ Oh Yawe, Yo moko nde olobaki ete okobebisa esika oyo mpo ete bato mpe bibwele bavanda lisusu awa te, kasi etikala pamba mpo na libela. ›
63 And it shall be when thou hast made an end of reading this scroll, that thou shalt bind thereunto a stone, and cast it in the midst of the Euphrates,
Tango okosilisa kotanga buku yango, kangisa yango na libanga, bwaka yango na ebale Efrate mpe loba:
64 Then shalt thou say, —In like manner, shall Babylon sink and not rise Because of the calamity which I am about to bring thereupon: So shall they perish. Thus far, are, the words of Jeremiah.
‹ Ezali boye nde Babiloni ekozinda mpe ekomata lisusu te, likolo ya pasi oyo nakotindela yango. Mpe bato na yango bakokweya. › » Maloba ya Jeremi esuki awa.
