Jeremiah 7
1 The word that came unto Jeremiah, from Yahweh saying: —
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
2 Stand thou in the gate of the house of Yahweh, and thou shalt proclaim there this word, —and shalt say—Hear ye the word of Yahweh all Judah ye who are entering in at these gates, to bow down unto Yahweh:
« Telema na ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe tatola maloba oyo: ‹ Boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bokotaka na bikuke oyo mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
3 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, —That I may cause you to dwell in this place.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bobongola bizaleli mpe misala na bino, mpe Ngai nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo.
4 Do not, on your part trust in false words, saying, —The temple of Yahweh The temple of Yahweh, The temple of Yahweh they are!
Botia motema te na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali kolobama: ‘Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe! Yawe azali awa.’
5 But, if ye shall thoroughly amend, your ways, and your doings, —Shall thoroughly execute justice between a man and his neighbour;
Soki solo bobongoli bizaleli mpe misala na bino mpe bokomi kokata bino na bino makambo na bosembo;
6 The sojourner, the fatherless, and the widow, shall not oppress, And innocent blood, shall not shed in this place, —And after other gods, shall not walk to your own hurt,
soki botiki konyokola bapaya, bana bitike to basi bakufisa mibali, mpe botiki kosopa makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te, soki botiki kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo na nzela na yango bomibendelaka pasi,
7 Then will I cause you to dwell In this place, In the land which I gave to your fathers, —From one age even unto another,
nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo, kati na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bakoko na bino wuta kala mpe mpo na libela.
8 Lo! ye, on your part, are trusting in false words, —To no profit!
Kasi botala ndenge bozali kotia motema na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali ata na litomba moko te.
9 Are ye to steal, commit murder and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, —and walk after other gods whom ye have not known;
Bozali koyiba, koboma bato, kosala ekobo, kolapa bandayi ya lokuta, kotumba malasi ya ansa mpo na Bala mpe kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo boyebaki te;
10 And will ye then come in and stand before me in this house whereon my Name hath been called, and say, —We have set ourselves free, —for the purpose of committing all these abominations?
bongo bozali koya liboso na Ngai kati na Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai, mpe bozali koloba: ‘Tobiki na biso!’ Bobiki na bino solo mpo na kosala makambo oyo nyonso ya nkele?
11 A den of robbers, hath this house on which my Name hath been called become in your own eyes? I, also, —lo! I have seen it Declareth Yahweh.
Boni, bokomisi Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai ekimelo ya miyibi? Ngai nazali komona ete bozali kozwa yango bongo, elobi Yawe.
12 For go I pray you, unto my place which was in Shiloh, Where I made my Name to dwell, at first, —And see what I did to it, because of the wickedness of my people Israel!
Eleki malamu bokende nanu na Silo epai wapi natiaki liboso Esika na Ngai ya bule mpe botala makambo oyo nasalaki kuna mpo na mabe ya bana ya Isalaele.
13 Now, therefore—Because ye have done all these deeds Declareth Yahweh, —And though I spake unto you betimes speaking, Yet ye hearkened not, And though I cried unto you Yet ye answered not,
Lokola nazalaki kokebisa bino mbala na mbala tango bozalaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso, elobi Yawe, kasi botikalaki koyokela Ngai te; lokola nabengaki bino, kasi boyanolaki Ngai te,
14 Therefore will I do to the house Whereon my Name hath been called Wherein, ye, are trusting, Even to the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, —Just as I did unto Shiloh;
makambo oyo nasalaki na Silo, nakosala yango mpe sik’oyo na Ndako na Ngai, na Tempelo oyo bozali kotiela motema, esika oyo napesaki bino elongo na batata na bino.
15 And will cast you out from before me, —Just as I have cast out All your brethren, All the seed of Ephraim.
Nakobwaka bino mosika na Ngai ndenge nabwakaki bandeko na bino nyonso ya Efrayimi. ›
16 Thou, therefore—Do not pray for this people Neither lift up for them cry or prayer Neither intercede with me, —For I am not going to hear thee.
Bongo yo Jeremi, komeka kobondela mpo na bato oyo te, kolobela Ngai na tina na bango ata moke te, komeka kutu te kosengela bango eloko: kotungisa Ngai te, pamba te nakotikala koyokela yo te.
17 Dost thou not see what, they, are doing In the cities of Judah, —and In the streets of Jerusalem?
Boni, ozali komona te makambo oyo bazali kosala kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?
18 The children, gather wood, and The fathers, kindle the fire, and The women, knead dough, —To make sacrificial cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out drink-offerings to other gods, Provoking me to anger!
Bana bazali kolokota bakoni, batata bazali kopelisa moto, mpe basi bazali kosangisa farine mpo na kosala mapa mpo na Ishitari; bazali kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya banzambe mosusu, bongo ezali kopesa Ngai kanda.
19 Is it me, they are provoking? Enquireth Yahweh, —Is it not themselves, —unto the shame of their own faces?
Boni, bakanisi ete bazali kosala Ngai mabe, etuni Yawe? Te! Bazali nde komisala bango moko mabe, mpo na soni na bango moko.
20 Wherefore, Thus, saith My Lord Yahweh—Lo! mine anger and mine indignation, are about to be poured out upon this place, On man and on beast, and On the tree of the field and On the fruit of the ground, —And it shall burn and shall not be quenched.
‹ Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakopelisa kanda na Ngai ya makasi na esika oyo, likolo ya bato, ya banyama, ya banzete ya zamba mpe ya mbuma ya mabele: kanda yango ekopela lokola moto, bongo ekokufa te.
21 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts God of Israel, —Your ascending-offerings, add ye unto your peace-offerings and eat ye flesh.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bokoba kaka na makambo oyo bozali kosala, bobakisa mbeka na bino ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu, mpe bolia misuni yango bino moko!
22 For I bade not your fathers Neither commanded I them, In the day I brought them forth out of the land of Egypt, —Concerning the matter of ascending-offering and peace-offering;
Pamba te, tango nabimisaki bakoko na bino na Ejipito, nalobaki na bango likambo moko te na oyo etali mbeka ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu.
23 But, this thing, I commanded them—saying, Hearken ye unto my voice, So will I become unto you—a God, And, ye, shall become unto me—a people, —Ye shall therefore walk in all the way that I may command you, To the end it may be well with you;
Nzokande, napesaki bango kaka mobeko oyo: Botosa Ngai, bongo Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bino mpe bino bokozala bato na Ngai; botambola na nzela nyonso oyo nakolakisa bino mpo ete bozala bato ya esengo.
24 Yet they hearkened not Neither inclined their ear, But walked, In the counsels—In the stubbornness of their own wicked heart; And went backward, and not forward.
Kasi batiaki matoyi te mpo na koyoka Ngai; balandaki kaka makanisi mabe ya mitema na bango. Boye, na esika ete babonga, babebaki lisusu koleka.
25 Ever since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt, until this day, Have I sent unto you all my servants the prophets, Daily, betimes, sending them;
Wuta tango batata na bino babimaki na Ejipito kino na mokolo ya lelo, natindelaka bino basali na Ngai, basakoli, tango nyonso mpe mikolo nyonso.
26 Yet they hearkened not unto me, Neither inclined their ear, —But stiffened their neck, They did more wickedly than their fathers.
Kasi bayokaki Ngai te mpe bapesaki Ngai matoyi na bango te; bazalaki kaka mito makasi mpe basalaki lisusu mabe koleka bakoko na bango. ›
27 Therefore shalt thou speak unto them all these words, Though they do not hearken unto thee, —And thou shalt cry aloud unto them Though they do not answer thee; —
Ata oyebisi bango makambo oyo nyonso, bakotikala koyoka yo te; ata mpe obengi bango, bakoyanola te.
28 But thou shalt say unto them, —This, is the nation that hearkened not unto the voice of Yahweh its God, Neither accepted they correction, —Perished is fidelity, And is cut off out of their mouth.
Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala ekolo oyo eyokaka te maloba ya Yawe, Nzambe na yango, mpe eyokaka pamela te; solo ezali lisusu te na minoko na bango mpe elimwe penza na bibebu na bango.
29 Cut thou off thy crown of hair [O Jerusalem], and cast it away, And lift thou up on the bare heights, a dirge, —For Yahweh hath rejected and cast out the generation with which he was wroth.
Kata suki na yo ya Naziri mpe bwaka yango, yemba nzembo ya mawa na likolo ya bangomba ekawuka, pamba te Yawe abwaki mpe asundoli bato oyo bazali na se ya kanda na Ye.
30 For the sons of Judah, have done, that which was wicked in mine eyes, Declareth Yahweh, —They have set their abominations in the house whereon my Name hath been called to defile it;
Bato ya Yuda basali mabe na miso na Ngai, elobi Yawe, batie banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya mbindo kati na Ndako na Ngai mpe bakomisi Ndako na Ngai mbindo.
31 And they have built the high places of Topheth, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn up their sons and their daughters in the fire, —Which I commanded not, Neither came it up on my heart,
Batongi bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, ya Tofeti, kati na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, mpo ete batumba bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi mpo na kobonza bango lokola mbeka: nzokande wana ezali likambo oyo Ngai natindaki bango te mpe natikalaki ata kokanisa yango te.
32 Therefore, lo! days are coming, Declareth Yahweh, When it shall not be called any more—The Topheth, nor The valley of Ben-hinnom, but The valley of Slaughter, —And they shall bury in Topheth, for want of place;
Yango wana, bosala keba, elobi Yawe: na mikolo ekoya, bato bakobenga lisusu te esika oyo Tofeti to Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, kasi bakobenga yango lubwaku oyo babomelaka bato, pamba te bakokunda bato na Tofeti kino tango esika ekotikala lisusu te.
33 And the dead bodies of this people shall become food, For the bird of the heavens, and For the beast of the earth, —And there shall be none to drive them away.
Bongo bibembe ya bato oyo ekokoma bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba; mpe moto moko te akobengana yango.
34 So will I cause to cease, From the cities of Judah, and, From the streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, The voice of the bridegroom, and The voice of the bride, —For, a desolation, shall the land become.
Kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, nakosilisa koganga ya esengo mpe ya kosepela, mongongo ya mobali ya libala mpe ya mwasi ya libala, pamba te mokili ekobeba.
