< Jeremiah 9 >

1 Who? will he give head my [was] water and eye my [was] a fountain of tear[s] so I may bewail by day and night [those] slain of [the] daughter of people my.
Ah! Soki moto na ngai ezalaki etima, mpe soki miso na ngai ezalaki liziba ya mpinzoli, nalingaki kolela butu mpe moyi mpo na bato na ngai, oyo basili koboma.
2 Who? will he give me in the wilderness a lodging place of travelers and I will leave people my and I will go from with them for all of them [are] adulterers an assembly of treacherous [people].
Ah! Soki nazalaki ata na ndako ya bapaya kati na esobe, nalingaki ata kokima bato na ngai mpe kozala mosika na bango, pamba te bango nyonso bazali bandumba, bazali lisanga ya bakosi!
3 And they have bent tongue their bow of their falsehood and not to faithfulness they are strong in the land for from evil to evil - they have gone out and me not they know [the] utterance of Yahweh.
« Babongisaka lolemo na bango lokola tolotolo mpo na kokosa; balongaka kati na mokili na nzela ya solo te, pamba te basalaka se mabe likolo ya mabe mpe batosaka Ngai te, » elobi Yawe.
4 Each from neighbor his take heed and on any brother may not you rely for every brother certainly he cheats and every neighbor a slanderer he goes about.
« Tika ete moto na moto asala keba na moninga na ye mpe atia motema te na ndeko na ye, pamba te ndeko nyonso azali moto ya lokuta, mpe moninga nyonso azali moto ya matongi.
5 And each neighbor his they deceive and truth not they speak they have taught tongue their to speak falsehood to iniquire they are weary.
Moninga azali kokosa moninga na ye, mpe moto moko te azali koloba solo. Bamibongisaka mpo na koloba lokuta, babimisaka motoki na bango mpo na kosala masumu.
6 Dwelling you in among deceit on deceit they have refused to know me [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Mosala na bango se kokosa na kokosa; mpe na lokuta na bango, baboyaka kotosa Ngai, » elobi Yawe.
7 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts here I [am] about to refine them and I will test them for how? will I act because of [the] daughter of people my.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala, nakopetola mpe nakomeka bango na moto, pamba te nasala lisusu nini mpo na masumu ya bato na Ngai?
8 [is] an arrow (Beaten *Q(K)*) tongue their deceit it speaks with mouth his peace with neighbor his someone speaks and in inner being his he sets ambush his.
Lolemo na bango ezali lokola likonga oyo ebomaka, ebimisaka kaka maloba ya lokuta. Moto na moto alobaka na moninga na ye na esengo na monoko; kasi na se ya motema, atielaka ye motambo.
9 ¿ On these [things] not will I visit them [the] utterance of Yahweh or? on a nation which [is] like this [one] not will it avenge itself self my.
Bongo na makambo ya boye, napesa bango etumbu te, » elobi Yawe? « Nazongisa mabe na mabe te na ekolo ya boye? »
10 On the mountains I will take up weeping and wailing and on [the] pastures of [the] wilderness lamentation for they are left desolate because not anyone [who] passes through and not people hear [the] sound of livestock from [the] bird[s] of the heavens and unto animal[s] they have fled they have gone.
Nakosala matanga mpe nakolela mpo na bangomba mpe matiti ya esobe. Nyonso esili kokawuka mpe moto moko te azali lisusu kolekela wana; ezala makelele ya bibwele to ya bandeke ezali lisusu koyokana te; bandeke ya likolo ekimi mpe banyama ya zamba esili kokende.
11 And I will make Jerusalem into heaps of stones a habitation of jackals and [the] cities of Judah I will make a waste because not inhabitant.
« Nakokomisa Yelusalemi liboke ya mabanga oyo ebukana-bukana, ndako ya mbwa ya zamba; nakobebisa bingumba ya Yuda, bongo moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna.
12 Who? [is] the person wise and he may understand this and whom it has spoken [the] mouth of Yahweh to him so he may declare it concerning what? has it been destroyed the land has it become desolate? like wilderness because not [one who] passes by.
Nani azali penza na bwanya mpo na kososola makambo ya boye? Nani Yawe ateyaki mpo ete alimbola yango? Mpo na nini mokili ebebisami, etikali pamba lokola esobe epai wapi moto alekaka te? »
13 And he said Yahweh because have forsaken they law my which I set before them and not they have listened to voice my and not they have walked in it.
Yawe alobi: « Makambo oyo nyonso ekomeli bango mpo ete basundoli Mobeko na Ngai oyo natiaki liboso na bango, batosi Ngai te mpe basaleli malako na Ngai te.
14 And they have walked after [the] stubbornness of own heart their and after the Baals which they taught them ancestors their.
Nzokande, batiaki kaka mito makasi mpe bakobaki kolanda banzambe ya Bala oyo batata na bango balakisaki bango. »
15 Therefore thus he says Yahweh of hosts [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to feed them the people this wormwood and I will give to drink them water of poison.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Tala, nakoleisa bato oyo matiti ya bololo mpe nakomelisa bango mayi ya ngenge.
16 And I will scatter them among the nations which not they knew they and ancestors their and I will send forth after them the sword until have made an end of I them.
Nakopanza bango kati na bikolo oyo, ezala bango to bakoko na bango, batikalaki koyeba te; nakolanda bango na mopanga kino nakosilisa koboma bango. »
17 Thus he says Yahweh of hosts consider and summon the wailing [women] and they may come and to the skillful [women] send so they may come.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Botala malamu makambo oyo! Bobengisa basi oyo balelaka bibembe, bobengisa penza ba-oyo bayebi kolela malamu!
18 And they may hasten and they may take up on us wailing so they may run down eyes our tear[s] and eyelids our they may flow water.
Tika ete baya noki mpo ete bayembela biso banzembo ya mawa kino tango mpinzoli ekobima biso mpe ekotondisa miso na biso.
19 For a sound of wailing it has been heard from Zion how! we have been devastated we have been put to shame exceedingly for we have left [the] land for people have cast down dwellings our.
Kolela ya mawa ezali koyokana wuta na Siona: ‹ Ah! Tala ndenge nini tosili kobebisama! Tala ndenge nini tosambwe! Tika ete tokima mokili na biso, pamba te bandako na biso ebebisami. › »
20 For hear O women [the] word of Yahweh so it may receive ear your [the] word of mouth his and teach daughters your a mourning song and every woman neighbor her a lamentation.
Eh basi, boyoka Liloba na Yawe! Bofungola matoyi mpo na koyoka maloba ya monoko na Ye. Bolakisa bana na bino ya basi banzembo ya mawa mpe tika ete moko na moko ayekolisa moninga na ye nzembo ya mawa.
21 For it has come up death in windows our it has come in fortresses our to cut off child[ren] from [the] street young men from [the] open places.
Kufa emati mpe ekoti na nzela ya maninisa na biso, ekoti kino na bandako na biso, oyo batonga makasi; eyei kosilisa koboma bana na babalabala, mpe bilenge mibali na bisika oyo bato ebele bokutanaka.
22 Speak thus [the] utterance of Yahweh and it will fall [the] corpse[s] of people like dung on [the] surface of the field[s] and like cut grain from behind the reaper and there not [will be one who] gathers.
Loba: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bibembe ya bato ekolala na mabele mpe ekotikala wana lokola fimie ya bilanga, lokola liboke ya bambuma oyo mobuki bambuma atiki na sima na ye mpe moto oyo akolokota yango azali te. › »
23 Thus - he says Yahweh may not he boast a wise [person] in wisdom his and may not he boast the mighty [person] in might his may not he boast a rich [person] in rich[es] his.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tika ete moto ya bwanya amikumisa te mpo na bwanya na ye to moto ya makasi mpo na makasi na ye to moto ya bozwi mpo na bozwi na ye.
24 That except in this let him boast who [-ever] boasts he has insight and he knows me that I [am] Yahweh [who] does covenant loyalty justice and righteousness on the earth for in these things I delight [the] utterance of Yahweh.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo alingi komikumisa amikumisa mpo ete azali na bososoli mpe ayebi Ngai, mpo ete ayebi ete nazali Yawe oyo atalisaka bolamu, bosembo mpe boyengebene na mokili; pamba te nasepelaka nde na makambo wana, » elobi Yawe.
25 Here! days [are] coming [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will visit [judgment] on every [man] circumcised in a foreskin.
« Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakopesa etumbu na bato nyonso oyo bakatama ngenga kaka na nzoto, kasi na mitema te:
26 On Egypt and on Judah and on Edom and on [the] people of Ammon and on Moab and on all [those who] are cut off of [the] corner who dwell in the wilderness for all the nations [are] uncircumcised and all [the] house of Israel [are] uncircumcised of heart.
bato ya Ejipito, ya Yuda, ya Edomi, ya Amoni, ya Moabi mpe bavandi nyonso ya esobe oyo bamikataka mandefu; pamba te bato ya bikolo oyo nyonso bakatama ngenga te. Mpe ezala bana nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bakatama ngenga, bakatama yango kaka na bonzoto, kasi na mitema te. »
