< Jeremiah 26 >
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, this word came from Yahweh, saying,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
2 “Yahweh says this: Stand in the courtyard of my house and speak about all the cities of Judah who come to worship at my house. Proclaim all the words that I have commanded you to say to them. Do not cut short any word!
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Telema kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe loba na bato nyonso ya bingumba ya Yuda, oyo bayaka kogumbamela Yawe kati na Tempelo. Yebisa bango maloba nyonso oyo nasili kotinda yo; kolongola ata liloba moko te.
3 It may be that they will listen, that each man will turn from his wicked ways, so I will relent concerning the disaster that I am planning to bring on them because of the wickedness of their practices.
Tango mosusu bakoyoka, mpe moko na moko kati na bango akotika nzela na ye ya mabe; bongo Ngai nakobongola mokano oyo nasilaki kozwa ya kotindela bango pasi likolo ya misala na bango ya mabe.
4 So you must say to them, 'Yahweh says this: If you do not listen to me so as to walk in my law that I have placed before you—
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Soki boyokeli Ngai te, soki boboyi kotosa malakisi oyo napesaki bino
5 if you do not listen to the words of my servants the prophets whom I am persistently sending to you—but you have not listened!—
mpe boboyi kotosa maloba ya basali na Ngai, basakoli, oyo nazalaki kotindela bino tango na tango atako boboyaki koyokela bango,
6 then I will make this house like Shiloh; I will turn this city into a curse in the sight of all the nations on earth.'”
nakosala na Ndako oyo, makambo oyo nasalaki na Silo; mpe bikolo nyonso ya mokili ekobanda kotangaka kombo ya engumba oyo mpo na kolakela mabe. › »
7 The priests, the prophets, and all the people heard Jeremiah announcing these words in Yahweh's house.
Banganga-Nzambe, basakoli mpe bato nyonso bazalaki koyoka Jeremi koloba maloba oyo kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
8 So it happened that when Jeremiah had finished announcing all that Yahweh commanded him to say to all the people, the priests, prophets, and all the people seized him and said, “You will certainly die!
Kasi tango Jeremi asilisaki koloba na bato nyonso maloba oyo Yawe atindaki ye, Banganga-Nzambe, basakoli mpe bato nyonso bakangaki ye mpe balobaki: « Okokufa!
9 Why have you prophesied in Yahweh's name and said that this house will become like Shiloh and this city will become desolate, with no inhabitant?” For all the people had formed a mob against Jeremiah in Yahweh's house.
Mpo na nini ozali kosakola na Kombo na Yawe ete Ndako oyo ekokoma lokola Silo; engumba oyo ekobebisama, ekotikala lisusu na bato te? » Ebele ya bato nyonso bazingelaki Jeremi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
10 Then the officials of Judah heard these words and went up from the king's house to Yahweh's house. They sat in the gateway at the New Gate of Yahweh's house.
Tango bakalaka ya Yuda bayokaki makambo oyo nyonso, balongwaki na ndako ya mokonzi, bakendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bavandaki liboso ya Ekuke ya Sika ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
11 The priests and the prophets spoke to the officials and to all the people. They said, “It is right for this man to die, for he prophesied against this city, just as you heard with your own ears!”
Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli balobaki na bakambi mpe na bato nyonso: « Moto oyo asengeli kokufa, pamba te asakoli mabe mpo na engumba oyo. Bino moko boyoki yango na matoyi na bino! »
12 So Jeremiah spoke to all the officials and all the people and said, “Yahweh has sent me out to prophesy against this house and this city, to say all the words that you have heard.
Jeremi alobaki na bakambi mpe na bato nyonso: « Yawe atindi ngai kosakola mpo na Ndako mpe engumba oyo, makambo nyonso oyo bosili koyoka.
13 So now, improve your ways and your practices, and listen to the voice of Yahweh your God so that he will relent concerning the disaster that he has proclaimed against you.
Bobongola sik’oyo bizaleli mpe misala na bino, mpe botosa Yawe, Nzambe na bino; mpe Yawe akobongola mokano oyo asilaki kozwa, mpe akotindela bino lisusu te pasi oyo alakaki bino.
14 I myself—look at me!—am in your hand. Do to me what is good and right in your eyes.
Bongo mpo na ngai, nazali na maboko na bino, bosala ngai makambo nyonso oyo bomoni ete ezali malamu mpe sembo.
15 But you must surely know that if you kill me, then you are bringing innocent blood on yourselves and on this city and its inhabitants, for Yahweh has truly sent me to you to proclaim all these words for your ears.”
Kasi boyeba ete soki bobomi ngai, bokomema ngambo ya pamba na bomoi na bino mpe na engumba oyo elongo na bavandi na yango nyonso, likolo ya makila ya moto oyo ayebi likambo te; pamba te, solo penza, Yawe nde atindaki ngai epai na bino mpo na koyebisa bino maloba nyonso oyo, mpo ete boyoka yango. »
16 Then the officials and all the people said to the priests and prophets, “It is not right for this man to die, for he has proclaimed things to us in the name of Yahweh our God.”
Bakambi mpe bato nyonso balobaki epai ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli: « Esengeli te koboma moto oyo! Azali solo koloba na biso na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso. »
17 Then men from the elders of the land rose up and spoke to the entire assembly of the people.
Ndambo ya bakambi ya mokili batelemaki mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya bato:
18 They said, “Micah the Morashite was prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah. He spoke to all the people of Judah and said, 'Yahweh of hosts says this: Zion will become a plowed field, Jerusalem will become a heap of rubble, and the hill of the temple will become a thicket.'
« Mosakoli Mishe, moto ya Moresheti, asakolaki na tango ya Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda; alobaki na bato nyonso ya Yuda: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Bakobalola Siona ndenge babalolaka mabele ya bilanga, Yelusalemi ekokoma liboke ya mabanga, mpe ngomba epai wapi batongaki Tempelo ekokoma ngomba moke oyo ezipami na matiti. ›
19 Did Hezekiah king of Judah and all of Judah put him to death? Did he not fear Yahweh and appease the face of Yahweh so that Yahweh would relent concerning the disaster that he proclaimed to them? So will we do greater evil against our own lives?”
Boni, Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, to moto mosusu kati na Yuda abomaki ye? Ezekiasi atosaki Yawe te mpe asalelaki mosakoli Mishe ngolu te? Yawe abongolaki mokano na Ye te ya kotindela bango pasi oyo alakaki? Tokomibendela biso moko pasi ya makasi na pamba. »
20 Meanwhile there was another man who prophesied in the name of Yahweh—Uriah son of Shemaiah from Kiriath Jearim—he also prophesied against this city and this land, agreeing with all of Jeremiah's words.
Nzokande, Iri, mwana mobali ya Shemaya, moto ya Kiriati-Yearimi, azalaki mpe kosakola na Kombo na Yawe. Azalaki kaka kosakola makambo moko na Jeremi na tina na engumba mpe mokili oyo.
21 But when King Jehoiakim and all his soldiers and officials heard his word, then the king tried to put him to death, but Uriah heard and was afraid, so he ran away and went to Egypt.
Tango mokonzi Yeoyakimi elongo na bakalaka na ye nyonso mpe bakambi bayokaki maloba ya Iri, balukaki koboma ye. Kasi tango Iri ayokaki yango, abangaki makasi mpe akimaki na Ejipito.
22 Then King Jehoiakim sent out men to go to Egypt—Elnathan son of Akbor and men to go into Egypt after Uriah.
Mokonzi Yeoyakimi atindaki Elinatani, mwana mobali ya Akibori, na Ejipito elongo na bato mosusu.
23 They took Uriah out from Egypt and brought him to King Jehoiakim. Then Jehoiakim killed him with a sword and sent his corpse out to the graves of the ordinary people.
Babimisaki Iri na Ejipito mpe bamemaki ye epai ya mokonzi Yeoyakimi oyo abomaki ye na mopanga mpe apesaki mitindo ete babwaka ebembe na ye kati na kunda oyo bakundaka bato pamba.
24 But the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan was with Jeremiah, so he was not given into the hand of the people to be put to death.
Nzokande Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, abatelaki Jeremi; boye akabamaki te na maboko ya bato mpo ete baboma ye.
