Jeremiah 15
1 Then said the LORD to me, Though Moses and Samuel stood before me, [yet] my mind [could] not [be] towards this people: cast [them] out of my sight, and let them go forth.
Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Ata soki Moyize mpe Samuele batelemi liboso na Ngai mpo na koloba na tina na bato oyo, nakotikala koyokela bato oyo mawa te. Bengana bato oyo liboso na ngai! Tika ete bakende mosika na Ngai!
2 And it shall come to pass, if they say to thee, Whither shall we go forth? then thou shalt tell them, Thus saith the LORD; Such as [are] for death, to death; and such as [are] for the sword, to the sword; and such as [are] for the famine, to the famine; and such as [are] for the captivity, to the captivity.
Bongo soki batuni yo: ‹ Tokende wapi? › Zongisela bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokufa bakufa! Tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokufa na mopanga bakufa na mopanga! Tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokufa na nzala makasi bakufa na nzala makasi! Mpe tika ete bato oyo basengeli kokende na bowumbu bakende na bowumbu! ›
3 And I will appoint over them four kinds, saith the LORD: the sword to slay, and the dogs to tear, and the fowls of the heaven, and the beasts of the earth, to devour and destroy.
Nakotindela bango babomi ya lolenge minei, » elobi Yawe: « mopanga, mpo na koboma bango; mbwa mpo na koswa mpe kobenda bango; banyama ya zamba mpe bandeke oyo eliaka misuni mpo na kolia mpe kopanza bango.
4 And I will cause them to be removed into all kingdoms of the earth, because of Manasseh the son of Hezekiah king of Judah, for [that] which he did in Jerusalem.
Nakokomisa bango eloko ya koyoka somo, na miso ya bato ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili mpo na makambo nyonso oyo Manase, mwana mobali ya Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, asalaki kati na Yelusalemi.
5 For who shall have pity upon thee, O Jerusalem? or who shall bemoan thee? or who shall go aside to ask concerning thy welfare?
Oh Yelusalemi, nani akoyokela yo mawa? Nani akolela yo? Nani akotelema mpo na kotuna basango na yo?
6 Thou hast forsaken me, saith the LORD, thou art gone backward: therefore will I stretch out my hand against thee, and destroy thee; I am weary with repenting.
Osundolaki Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « opesaki Ngai mokongo. Yango wana, loboko na Ngai ekobeta yo, mpe nakobebisa yo; nakoyokela yo lisusu mawa te.
7 And I will fan them with a fan in the gates of the land; I will bereave [them] of children, I will destroy my people, [since] they return not from their ways.
Nakoyungola bango na nzela ya bipepelo na bikuke ya engumba, nakobotola bango bana na bango mpe nakoboma bato na Ngai, pamba te babongoli bizaleli na bango te.
8 Their widows are multiplied to me above the sand of the seas: I have brought upon them against the mother of the young men a spoiler at noon-day: I have caused [him] to fall upon it suddenly, and terrors upon the city.
Basi na bango oyo bakufisa mibali, nakokomisa bango ebele koleka zelo ya ebale monene. Na ngonga ya midi, nakoyeisa mobebisi mpo na koboma bamama ya bana na bango; nakokweyisela bango somo mpe pasi na mbalakata.
9 She that hath borne seven languisheth: she hath resigned her breath; her sun is gone down while [it was] yet day: she hath been ashamed and confounded: and the residue of them will I deliver to the sword before their enemies, saith the LORD.
Mama ya bana sambo akolemba nzoto mpe akopema na pasi makasi. Moyi na ye ekolala wana mokolo ezali nanu kowumela: akoyokisama soni mpe akosambwa. Nakoboma na mopanga, bato oyo bakotikala na bomoi liboso ya banguna na bango, » elobi Yawe.
10 Woe is me, my mother, that thou hast borne me a man of strife and a man of contention to the whole earth! I have neither lent on usury, nor have men lent to me on usury; [yet] every one of them doth curse me.
Oh mama na ngai, mawa na ngai! Mpo na nini obotaki ngai! Nazali moto oyo mokili mobimba eswanisaka mpe etelemelaka. Nadefisa moto moko te eloko mpe nadefa eloko ya moto moko te, kasi bato nyonso balakelaka ngai kaka mabe.
11 The LORD said, Verily it shall be well with thy remnant; verily I will cause the enemy to treat thee [well] in the time of evil and in the time of affliction.
Yawe alobaki: « Solo, nakokangola yo mpo na bolamu na yo; solo, nakosala ete banguna na yo babondela yo na tango ya pasi mpe ya minyoko.
12 Shall iron break the northern iron and the steel?
Boni, moto akoki penza kobuka ebende? Ebende oyo ewuta penza na nor to ebende ya bronze?
13 Thy substance and thy treasures will I give to the spoil without price, and [that] for all thy sins, even in all thy borders.
Nakosala ete babotola bino biloko mpe bomengo na bino; bongo bakofuta bino yango te mpo na masumu na bino nyonso oyo bosalaki kati na mokili na bino mobimba.
14 And I will make [thee] to pass with thy enemies into a land [which] thou knowest not: for a fire is kindled in my anger, [which] shall burn upon you.
Nakokomisa bino bawumbu ya banguna na bino kati na mokili oyo botikala ata koyeba te, pamba te kanda na Ngai ekopela lokola moto oyo ekotumba bino. »
15 O LORD, thou knowest: remember me, and visit me, and avenge me of my persecutors; take me not away in thy long-suffering: know that for thy sake I have suffered rebuke.
Oh Yawe, oyebi makambo nyonso, kanisa ngai mpe batela ngai. Zongisa mabe na mabe ya banyokoli na ngai. Yo oyo osilikaka noki te, kosundola ngai te! Tala ndenge nazali kondima koyoka soni kino sik’oyo mpo na Kombo na Yo!
16 Thy words were found, and I did eat them; and thy word was to me the joy and rejoicing of my heart: for I am called by thy name, O LORD God of hosts.
Tango kaka nayokaki maloba na Yo, nayambaki yango na esengo; maloba yango esepelisaki ngai mpe etondisaki motema na ngai na esengo; pamba te babengaka ngai na Kombo na Yo, Yawe, Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso.
17 I sat not in the assembly of the mockers, nor rejoiced; I sat alone because of thy hand: for thou hast filled me with indignation.
Natikala kovanda te kati na batioli to mpe kosepela elongo na bango. Natikalaki kaka ngai moko, pamba te loboko na yo ezalaki likolo na ngai mpe otondisaki ngai na kanda.
18 Why is my pain perpetual, and my wound incurable, [which] refuseth to be healed? wilt thou be altogether to me as a liar, [and as] waters [that] fail?
Mpo na nini pasi na ngai esilaka te mpe pota na ngai ya monene esilaka te? Solo, namoni ete ozali mpo na ngai lokola etima ya lokuta, lokola mayi oyo bakoki kotiela motema te.
19 Therefore thus saith the LORD, If thou shalt return, then will I bring thee again, [and] thou shalt stand before me: and if thou shalt separate the precious from the vile, thou shalt be as my mouth: let them return to thee; but return not thou to them.
Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Soki ozongi epai na Ngai, nakondima yo liboso na Ngai mpo ete osalela Ngai; soki monoko na yo ezali kobimisa maloba ya tina, kasi maloba ya pamba-pamba te, okozala molobeli na Ngai. Tika ete bato oyo balanda yo; kasi yo, kolanda bango te.
20 And I will make thee to this people a fortified brazen wall: and they shall fight against thee, but they shall not prevail against thee: for I [am] with thee to save thee and to deliver thee, saith the LORD.
Nakokomisa yo lokola mir liboso ya bato oyo, mir moko ya makasi penza, mir ya bronze; bakobundisa yo kasi bakolonga yo te, pamba te nazali elongo na yo mpo na kobikisa mpe kokangola yo, » elobi Yawe.
21 And I will deliver thee from the hand of the wicked, and I will redeem thee from the hand of the terrible.
« Nakobikisa yo na maboko ya bato mabe mpe nakokangola yo na maboko ya bato oyo banyokolaka yo. »
