< Jeremiah 2 >

1 And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
Yawe alobaki na ngai:
2 and seide, Go thou, and crye in the eeris of Jerusalem, and seie, The Lord seith these thingis, Y hadde mynde on thee, and Y hadde merci on thee in thi yong wexynge age, and on the charite of thi spousyng, whanne thou suedist me in desert, in the lond which is not sowun.
« Kende kotatola na matoyi ya Yelusalemi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Nakanisi lisusu bolingo oyo ozalaki na yango epai na Ngai tango ozalaki elenge; ozalaki kolinga Ngai makasi ndenge kaka mwasi mpe mobali balinganaka, mpe ozalaki kolanda Ngai na esobe, kati na mokili oyo ekawuka.
3 Israel was hooli to the Lord, the firste of fruytis of hym; alle men that deuouren that Israel, trespassen; yuelis schulen come on hem, seith the Lord.
Isalaele abulisamaki mpo na Yawe lokola mbuma ya liboso ya milona na Ye: moto nyonso oyo azalaki kolia yango azalaki komema ngambo, mpe pasi ezalaki kokomela ye, › » elobi Yawe.
4 The hous of Jacob, and alle the lynagis of the hous of Israel, here ye the word of the Lord.
Oh libota ya Jakobi, bino bituka nyonso ya Isalaele, boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
5 The Lord seith these thingis, What of wickidnesse foundun youre fadris in me, for thei yeden fer awey fro me, and yeden after vanyte, and weren maad veyn?
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mabe nini batata na bino bazwaki Ngai mpo ete basundola Ngai? Basepelaki kolanda banzambe ya bikeko oyo ezanga tina, mpe bango moko bakomaki bato pamba.
6 And thei seiden not, Where is the Lord, that made vs to stie fro the lond of Egipt, that ledde vs ouer thorou desert, bi the lond vnabitable and with out weie, bi the lond of thirst, and bi the ymage of deeth, bi the lond in whiche a man yede not, nether a man dwellide.
Bamitunaki te: ‹ Wapi Yawe oyo abimisaki biso na Ejipito mpe amemaki biso kati na esobe? Wapi Yawe oyo atambolisaki biso na mokili oyo ekawuka mpe ya mabulu, mokili ya molili mpe ya kufa, mokili oyo baleki nzela balekelaka te mpe mokili oyo bato bavandaka soki moke te? ›
7 And Y brouyte you in to the lond of Carmele, that ye schulden ete the fruyt therof, and the goodis therof; and ye entriden, and defouliden my lond, and settiden myn eritage in to abhomynacioun.
Namemaki bino na mokili oyo mabele na yango ebotaka malamu mpo ete bolia mbuma na yango ya kitoko; kasi boyaki nde kokomisa mokili na Ngai mbindo mpe kokomisa libula na Ngai eloko ya nkele.
8 Preestis seiden not, Where is the Lord? and thei that helden the lawe, knewen not me; and scheepherdis trespassiden ayens me, and profetis profesieden in Baal, and sueden idols.
Banganga-Nzambe bamitunaki te mpo na koluka koyeba: ‹ Yawe azali wapi? › Balakisi ya Mobeko balukaki koyeba Ngai te, bakambi batombokelaki Ngai; basakoli bazalaki kosakola na kombo ya Bala mpe balandaki banzambe ya bikeko oyo ezanga tina.
9 Therfor yit Y schal stryue with you in doom, seith the Lord, and Y schal dispute with youre sones.
Yango wana, nakosambisa bino, » elobi Yawe. « Nakosambisa bino elongo na bakitani na bino,
10 Go ye to the ilis of Cethym, and se ye; and sende ye in to Cedar, and biholde ye greetli; and se ye,
Bokatisa na ngambo ya bisanga ya kitimi mpe botala malamu, botinda bato na Kedari mpe botala malamu; botala malamu penza soki likambo ya boye esila kosalema.
11 if siche a thing is doon, if a folk chaungide hise goddis; and certeynli thei ben no goddis; but my puple chaungide hise glorie in to an ydol.
Boni, ezali na ekolo oyo etikaka banzambe na yango mpo na kosambela banzambe mosusu? Nzokande, banzambe yango ezalaka kutu banzambe ya solo te. Kasi bato na Ngai basundoli Ye oyo azali Nkembo na bango mpo na kolanda banzambe ya bikeko oyo ezanga tina.
12 Heuenes, be ye astonyed on this thing, and, ye yatis of heuene, be ye desolat greetli, seith the Lord.
Oh likolo, tika ete likambo oyo ekamwisa yo mpe epesa yo somo makasi, » elobi Yawe.
13 For whi my puple hath don tweyne yuels; thei han forsake me, the welle of quyke watir, and han diggid to hem cisternes, `that weren distried, that moun not holde watris.
« Bato na Ngai basali masumu mibale: Basundoli Ngai oyo nazali etima ya bomoi, mpe batimoli bango moko mabulu ya mayi, mabulu oyo ekawukaka noki.
14 Whether Israel is a boond man, ether is borun boonde?
Boni, Isalaele azali solo mowumbu to abotama kati na ndako ya bowumbu? Mpo na nini akomi lokola eloko pamba na miso ya bikolo mosusu?
15 Whi therfor is he maad in to prey? Liouns roriden on hym, and yauen her vois; thei han set the londe of hym in to wildernesse, the citees of him ben brent, and noon is that dwellith in tho.
Bankosi engalaki na koganga mpo na kolengisa ye, ekomisaki mokili na ye lokola esobe; batumbaki bingumba na ye mpe etikalaki lisusu na bato te.
16 Also the sones of Menfis and of Tafnys han defoulid thee, `til to the cop of the heed.
Mpe lisusu, bato ya Mefisi mpe ya Dafine babuki moto na yo.
17 Whether this is not don to thee, for thou forsokist thi Lord God, in that tyme in which he ledde thee bi the weie?
Mpo na nini makambo oyo nyonso ezali kokomela yo? Boni, ezali te mpo ete osundulaki Yawe, Nzambe na yo, tango azalaki nanu kotambolisa yo na nzela?
18 And now what wolt thou to thee in the weie of Egipt, that thou drynke troblid watir? And what is to thee with the weie of Assiriens, that thou drynke water of the flood?
Bongo sik’oyo, mpo na nini ozali kokende komela mayi ya ebale Nili kati na Ejipito? Mpo na nini ozali kokende komela mayi ya ebale Efrate kati na Asiri?
19 Thi malice schal repreue thee, and thi turnyng awei schal blame thee; wite thou and se, that it is yuel and bittir that thou hast forsake thi Lord God, and that his drede is not at thee, seith the Lord God of oostis.
Mabe na yo ekomemela yo etumbu, kotomboka na yo ekomemela yo pamela. Tala malamu mpe sosola ete ezali penza mabe mpe bololo mpo na yo kosundola Yawe, Nzambe na yo, mpe kozanga kotosa Ngai, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
20 Fro the world thou hast broke my yok, thou hast broke my bondis, and seidist, Y schal not serue. For thou hoore didist hordom in ech hiy litil hil, and vndur ech tree ful of bowis.
« Wuta kala, ozalaki kobuka ekangiseli na yo mpe kokata minyololo na yo. Ozalaki koloba: ‹ Nakozala lisusu mowumbu na yo te. › Yango wana, okomaki komilalisa na bangomba nyonso ya milayi mpe na se ya banzete nyonso ya mibesu lokola mwasi ya ndumba.
21 Forsothe Y plauntide thee a chosun vyner, al trewe seed; hou therfor art thou, alien vyner, turned to me in to a schrewid thing?
Nzokande, Ngai nalonaki yo lokola nzete kitoko ya vino mpo ete obotaka mbuma ya malamu na tembe te. Bongo, ndenge nini sik’oyo obalukeli Ngai mpe okomi nzete oyo nayebi te, nzete oyo ebotaka mbuma mabe?
22 Thouy thou waischist thee with fulleris clei, and multypliest to thee the erbe borith, thou art defoulid in thi wickidnesse bifore me, seith the Lord God.
Ata soki omisukoli na kisi oyo basalelaka sabuni to omipakoli sabuni ndenge nini, masumu na yo ekolongwa te liboso na Ngai, » elobi Nkolo Yawe.
23 Hou seist thou, Y am not defoulid, Y yede not aftir Baalym? Se thi weies in the greet valei, wite thou what thou hast do; a swifte rennere ordeynynge hise weies.
« Ndenge nini okoki penza koloba: ‹ Namikomisi na ngai mbindo te, nazali kolanda banzambe ya Bala te? › Tala nanu ndenge ozalaki kotambola kati na lubwaku mpe kanisa malamu makambo oyo ozalaki kosala. Okomaki lokola shamo ya mwasi oyo eyengaka-yengaka bisika nyonso;
24 A wielde asse customable in wildirnesse drow the wynd of his loue in the desire of his soule; no man schal turne awei it. Alle that seken it, schulen not faile; thei schulen fynde it in the flux of vncleene blood therof.
lokola ane ya zamba oyo emesana na esobe, oyo ebendaka mopepe na zolo soki ekomi na posa ya kosangisa nzoto. Bongo, nani akoki kokanga posa na yango ya kosangisa nzoto na mpunda ya mobali? Mpunda nyonso ya mobali oyo ekolanda yango ekomona pasi te, pamba te ekozwa yango na tango ya posa ya kosangisa nzoto na mpunda ya mobali.
25 Forbede thi foot fro nakidnesse, and thi throte fro thirst; and thou seidist, Y dispeiride, Y schal not do; for Y louede brennyngli alien goddis, and Y schal go aftir hem.
Sala keba! Noki te okotikala makolo ngulu mpe okokawuka mongongo likolo ya bitambola-tambola! Kasi ozali koloba: ‹ Tika na yo! Ngai nalingaka banzambe ya bapaya mpe nakolanda kaka bango. ›
26 As a theef is schent, whanne he is takun, so the hous of Israel ben schent; thei, and kyngis of hem, the princes, and prestis, and the prophetis of hem,
Ndenge basambwisaka moyibi soki bakangi ye, ndenge wana mpe ekosalema mpo na libota ya Isalaele: bakonzi mpe bakambi na bango, Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli na bango bakosambwa.
27 that seien to a tree, Thou art my fadir; and to a stoon, Thou hast gendrid me. Thei turneden to me the bak, and not the face; and in the tyme of her turment thei schulen seie, Ryse thou, and delyuere vs.
Balobaka na nzete: ‹ Ozali tata na ngai, › mpe na libanga: ‹ Yo nde obotaki ngai. › Bapesaki Ngai mikongo, kasi bilongi na bango te. Nzokande soki bakomi na pasi, babelelaka: ‹ Yaka kobikisa biso! ›
28 Where ben thi goddis, whiche thou madist to thee? Rise thei, and delyuere thee in the tyme of thi turment; for aftir the noumbre of thi citees weren thi goddis, thou Juda.
Wapi sik’oyo banzambe na bino, banzambe oyo bosalaki na maboko na bino? Tika ete eya kobikisa bino na tango ya pasi, soki penza ekokoka! Pamba te, oh bato na Yuda, ndenge motango ya bingumba na bino ezali, ndenge wana mpe motango ya banzambe na bino ezali.
29 What wolen ye stryue with me in doom? Alle ye han forsake me, seith the Lord.
Mpo na nini bozali kosambisa Ngai? Nzokande, ezali bino nyonso nde botombokelaki Ngai, » elobi Yawe.
30 In veyn Y smoot youre sones, thei resseyueden not chastisyng; youre swerd deuouride youre prophetis, youre generacioun is distried as a lioun.
« Napesaki bato na yo etumbu ya pamba; pamba te bazwaki na bango kaka mayele te. Mopanga na yo ebomi basakoli na yo ndenge nkosi ebomaka bato.
31 Se ye the word of the Lord, whether Y am maad a wildirnesse to Israel, ether a lond late bryngynge forth fruyt? Whi therfor seide my puple, We han go awei, we schulen no more come to thee?
Bino bato ya tango oyo, boyoka Liloba na Yawe: Boni, nazali lokola esobe to mokili ya molili makasi mpo na mokili ya Isalaele? Mpo na nini bato na Ngai bazali koloba: ‹ Tozali na bonsomi ya kokende epai tolingi mpe tokoya lisusu epai na yo te? ›
32 Whethir a virgyn schal foryete hir ournement? and a spousesse `schal foryete hir brest girdil? But mi puple hath foryete me bi daies with out noumbre.
Boni, elenge mwasi abosanaka penza biloko na ye ya monzele? Boni, mobandami ya libala abosanaka solo mayaka na ye? Nzokande, bato na Ngai babosani Ngai mikolo ebele.
33 What enforsist thou to schewe thi weie good to seke loue, which ferthermore bothe hast tauyt thi malices thi weies,
Oh, tala ndenge otondi na mayele ya koluka bolingo! Na etamboli na yo, okoki ata kopesa mayele yango ezala na basi oyo baleki mabe!
34 and the blood of pore men and innocentis is foundun in thi wyngis? Y fond not hem in dichis, but in alle thingis whiche Y remembride bifore.
Kino na bilamba na yo, bato bamonaka makila ya babola, ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te mpe okangi bango na mabe te.
35 And thou seidist, Y am with out synne and innocent; and therfor thi stronge veniaunce be turned awei fro me. Lo! Y schal stryue with thee in doom; for thou seidist, Y synnede not.
Kati na makambo oyo nyonso, ozali koloba: ‹ Nayebi ata likambo moko te, kanda ya Nzambe ekokweyela ngai te. › Kasi Ngai nakopesa yo etumbu mpo ete ozali koloba: ‹ Nasali masumu te. ›
36 Hou vijl art thou maad, rehersynge thi weies? and thou schalt be schent of Egipt, as thou were schent of Assur.
Mpo na nini omipesi na koyengayenga na nzela nyonso? Okosambwa mpo na Ejipito ndenge osambwaki mpo na Asiri.
37 For whi and thou schalt go out of this lond, and thin hondis schulen be on thin heed; for whi the Lord hath al to-broke thi trist, and thou schalt haue no thing to prosperite.
Okotika lisusu esika yango, maboko na moto, pamba te Yawe asundoli bato oyo ozalaki kotiela motema; mpe bango bakosunga yo te. »
