Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, Declareth Yahweh, Shall they bring forth, The bones of the kings of Judah, and The bones of his princes, and The bones of the priests, and The bones of the prophets, and The bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, Out of their graves,
Na tango wana, elobi Yawe, bakobimisa mikuwa ya bakonzi mpe ya bakalaka ya Yuda, mikuwa ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya basakoli elongo na mikuwa ya bato ya Yelusalemi, wuta na malita na bango.
2 And shall spread them out—To the sun, and To the moon, and To all the host of the heavens, Whom they have loved, And whom they have served, And after whom they have walked, And whom they have sought, And to whom they have bowed themselves down, —They shall not be gathered, Neither shall they be buried, As heaps of dung on the face of the ground, shall they be.
Bakotanda yango na se ya moyi, na se ya sanza mpe na se ya mampinga nyonso ya likolo, oyo balingaki, basalelaki na esengo, balandaki, batunaki makambo mpe bafukamelaki. Bakosangisa lisusu mikuwa yango te mpo na kokunda yango, kasi ekokoma lokola matiti ya kopola, na mabele.
3 Then shall, death, be chosen rather than life, by all the remnant of them that remain, of this wicked family, —in all the places, whither I have driven them, Declareth Yahweh of hosts.
Na bisika nyonso oyo nakopanza bango, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, bato nyonso oyo bakotikala na bomoi kati na ekolo oyo ya mabe bakoluka kufa na esika ya bomoi. ›
4 Therefore shalt thou say unto them—Thus, saith Yahweh, Will men fall and not arise? Will one turn away, and not come back?
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Boni, soki moto akweyi, atelemaka te? Soki moto abungi nzela, azongaka lisusu na nzela te?
5 Wherefore hath this people of Jerusalem apostatized with an enduring apostacy, —Taken fast hold of deceit, Refused to come back?
Mpo na nini bato ya Yelusalemi babungi nzela? Mpo na nini bazali kokangama kaka na nzela na bango ya mabe? Bamipesi makasi na makambo ya lokuta mpe baboyi kozongela Ngai.
6 I hearkened and heard—Not aright, did they speak, —Not a man, repented him of his wickedness, saying, What have I done! They have every one, turned to their course again, Like a horse sweeping on through the battle.
Nayokaka na bokebi makambo nyonso oyo balobaka, kasi balobaka makambo ya solo te. Moko te kati na bango ayokaka motema pasi mpo na mabe oyo asalaka, alobaka: ‘Nasali nini?’ Moto na moto akangamaka kaka na nzela na ye lokola mpunda oyo ezali kokende na bitumba.
7 Even the stork in the heavens knoweth her appointed times, And the turtle and the swallow and the crane, observe the season for coming; But my people know not the just sentence of Yahweh.
Ezala kutu nkongi, kati na likolo, eyebaka bileko ya kokende na bisika mosusu; ebenga, ndeke ya mayi mpe mbilambila eyebaka ata tango ya kozonga, kasi bato na Ngai bayebi mibeko ya Yawe te.
8 How can ye say, Wise, are, we, And the law of Yahweh, is with us? But indeed lo! falsely, hath dealt the false pen of the scribes!
Ndenge nini bokoki koloba: ‘Tozali bato ya bwanya, pamba te toyebi Mobeko ya Yawe,’ tango sik’oyo ekomeli ya balakisi ya Mobeko ebongoli yango lokuta?
9 Ashamed are the wise, dismayed and captured! Lo! the word of Yahweh, have they rejected, And, what wisdom, have, they?
Bato ya bwanya bakoyokisama soni, bakoyoka somo mpe bakokende na bowumbu, pamba te batiolaki Liloba na Yawe. Bazali na bwanya ya ndenge nini?
10 Therefore, will I give—Their wives to others, Their fields to such as shall take possession of them, For from the least, even unto the greatest, Every one, is, wholly given to extortion: From the prophet even unto the priest, Every one, dealeth, falsely.
Yango wana, nakokaba basi na bango epai ya mibali mosusu, mpe bilanga na bango epai ya bato mosusu; pamba te bango nyonso, ezala mikolo to bana mike, batondi na lokoso ya mbongo; basakoli mpe Banganga-Nzambe nyonso bakomi se kotambola na lokuta;
11 And so they have healed the grievous wound of the daughter of my people, slightly, —Saying, Peace! peace! when there was no peace!
bazali kosalisa bapota ya bato na Ngai likolo-likolo mpe bazali koloba: ‘Makambo nyonso ezali malamu, nyonso ezali kotambola malamu!’ Nzokande, ata likambo moko ya malamu ezali te.
12 Were they led to turn pale because an abominable thing, they had done? Nay! they did not, at all turn pale Nay! they did not so much as know how to exhibit shame! Therefore, shall they fall among them who are falling, In the time when they are punished, shall they be overthrown, Saith Yahweh:
Boni, bazali koyokela makambo na bango ya nkele soni? Te! Bazali koyoka ata soni te; bayebi kutu te ndenge bayokaka soni! Yango wana, bakokufa lokola bato nyonso, bakokweyisama tango bakozwa etumbu, elobi Yawe.
13 I will, surely remove, them, declareth Yahweh: There shall be no grapes on the vine Nor figs on the fig-tree, Even the leaf, hath faded, Though I have given them these things, they shall pass away from them.
Nakobebisa milona na bango, elobi Yawe. Bambuma ya vino ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya vino, mbuma ya figi ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya figi, mpe makasa ya banzete yango ekokawuka. Bakobotola bango biloko oyo napesaki bango. › »
14 Why are, we, sitting still? Gather yourselves together and let us enter the defenced cities And let us be silent there, —For, Yahweh our God, hath put us to silence And made us drink poisoned water, Because we have sinned against Yahweh.
Mpo na nini tozali kovanda awa? Tosangana esika moko! Tika ete tokima kati na bingumba batonga makasi mpo ete tokufela kuna! Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, afungoleli biso ekuke ya kufa mpe apesi biso mayi oyo ezali na ngenge mpo ete tomela, pamba te tosalaki masumu liboso na Ye.
15 A waiting For prosperity, but no welfare, —For a time of healing, but lo! terror.
Tozalaki na elikya ete tokozala na kimia, kasi tomoni likambo moko te ya malamu; tozalaki na elikya ete tokobika, kasi pasi na pasi nde ezali kolanda biso!
16 From Dan, was heard the snorting of his horses At the sound of the neighing of his chargers, the whole land trembled, —Yea they came in and did sat up The land and the fulness thereof, The city, and them who were dwelling therein.
Lokito ya bampunda ya banguna mpe makelele ya makolo na yango ezali koyokana wuta na Dani, ezali koya mpo na kobebisa mokili mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, engumba mpe bavandi na yango nyonso, bongo mokili mobimba eningani.
17 For behold me! sending among you serpents—vipers which there is no charming, —And they shall fatally bite you declareth Yahweh.
« Botala, nakotindela bino banyoka oyo ebomaka, bitupa oyo moto akoki kosakana na yango te, mpo ete eswa bino, » elobi Yawe.
18 When I would have cheered myself against sorrow, Against me, mine own heart sickened: —
Pasi na ngai ezangeli kisi mpo na kosilisa yango, motema na ngai elembi kati na ngai.
19 Lo! the voice of the cry for help of the daughter of my people from a land far away, Is, Yahweh, not in Zion? Is, her King, not within her? Why, have they provoked me with their carved images, with their foreign vanities?
Yoka koganga ya bato na ngai wuta na mokili ya mosika: « Boni, Yawe azali lisusu te, kati na Siona? Mokonzi na yango azali lisusu kuna te? » « Mpo na nini batumbolaki kanda na Ngai na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, na nzela ya banzambe ya bapaya oyo ezanga ata tina? »
20 The harvest is passed, The fruit-gathering, is ended; And we are not saved!
« Tango ya kobuka mbuma esili koleka, elanga mpe esili kokoma na suka, kasi biso tobikisami te. »
21 For the grievous injury of the daughter of my people, I am grievously injured, —I am enshrouded in gloom, Horror, hath seized me: —
Ndenge bato na ngai bazali koyoka pasi, ndenge wana mpe ngai nazali koyoka pasi, nazali kolela, mpe somo ekangi ngai makasi.
22 Balsam, is there none, in Gilead? Is there no physician, there? Why hath not appeared the healing of the daughter of my people?
Boni, kisi ezali te kati na Galadi? Minganga bazali kuna te? Bongo mpo na nini bato na ngai bazali kobika te?
