Jeremiah 15
1 And Jehovah saith unto me: Though Moses and Samuel should stand before Me, My soul is not toward this people, Send from before My face, and they go out.
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 hath come to pass, when they say to thee, Whither do we go out? that thou hast said unto them, Thus said Jehovah: Those who [are] for death — to death, And those who are for the sword, to the sword, And those who are for famine, to famine, And those who are for captivity, to 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 have appointed over them four kinds, an affirmation of Jehovah, The sword to slay, and the dogs to drag, And the fowl of the heavens, And the beast of the earth, to consume and to devour.
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 have given them for a trembling To all kingdoms of the earth, Because of Manasseh 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 hath pity on thee, O Jerusalem? And who doth bemoan for thee? And who turneth aside to ask of thy welfare?
Oh Yelusalemi, nani akoyokela yo mawa? Nani akolela yo? Nani akotelema mpo na kotuna basango na yo?
6 Thou — thou hast left Me — an affirmation of Jehovah, Backward thou goest, And I stretch out My hand against thee, And I destroy thee, I have been weary of 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 scatter them with a fan, in the gates the land, I bereaved, I have destroyed My people, From their ways they turned not back.
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 Its widows have been more to Me than the sand of the seas, I brought in to them — against the mother — A young man — a spoiler — at noon. I caused to fall upon her suddenly, wrath and trouble.
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 Languished hath the bearer of seven, She hath breathed out her spirit, Gone in hath her sun while yet day, It hath been ashamed and confounded, And their residue to the sword I give up before their enemies, An affirmation of Jehovah.
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 to me, my mother, For thou hast borne me a man of strife, And a man of contention to all the land, I have not lent on usury, Nor have they lent on usury to me — All of them are reviling 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 Jehovah said, Did I not direct thee for good? Did not I intercede for thee in a time of evil, And in a time of adversity, with the enemy?
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 Doth one break iron — northern iron, and brass?
Boni, moto akoki penza kobuka ebende? Ebende oyo ewuta penza na nor to ebende ya bronze?
13 Thy strength and thy treasures For a prey I do give — not for price, Even for all thy sins, and 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 have caused thine enemies To pass over into the land — Thou hast not known, For a fire hath been kindled in Mine anger, Against you it doth burn.
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 Thou, Thou hast known, O Jehovah, Remember me, and inspect me, And take vengeance for me of my pursuers, In Thy long-suffering take me not away, Know — I have borne for Thee reproach.
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 have been found, and I eat them, And Thy word is to me for a joy, And for the rejoicing of my heart, For Thy name is called on me, O Jehovah, 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 have not sat in an assembly of deriders, Nor do I exult, because of thy hand, — Alone I have sat, For [with] indignation Thou hast filled me.
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 hath my pain been perpetual? And my wound incurable? It hath refused to be healed, Thou art surely to me as a failing stream, Waters not stedfast.
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 said Jehovah: If thou turnest back, then I bring thee back, Before Me thou dost stand, And if thou bringest out the precious from the vile, As My mouth thou art! They — they turn back unto thee, And thou dost not turn back unto 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 have made thee to this people For a wall — brazen — fenced, And they have fought against thee, And they do not prevail against thee, For with thee [am] I to save thee, And to deliver thee — an affirmation of Jehovah,
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 have delivered thee from the hand of evil doers, And I have ransomed thee From the hand of the terrible!
« Nakobikisa yo na maboko ya bato mabe mpe nakokangola yo na maboko ya bato oyo banyokolaka yo. »
