< Jeremiah 26 >

1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim son of Josiah, king of Judah, hath this word been from Jehovah, saying:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
2 'Thus said Jehovah, Stand thou in the court of the house of Jehovah, and thou hast spoken unto all [those of] the cities of Judah who are coming in to bow themselves in the house of Jehovah, all the words that I have commanded thee to speak unto them, thou dost not diminish a 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 If so be they hearken, and turn back each from his evil way, then I have repented concerning the evil that I am thinking of doing to them, because of the evil of their doings.
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 'And thou hast said unto them: Thus said Jehovah, If ye do not hearken unto Me, to walk in My law, that I set before you,
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Soki boyokeli Ngai te, soki boboyi kotosa malakisi oyo napesaki bino
5 To hearken to the words of My servants the prophets, whom I am sending unto you, yea, rising early and sending, and ye have not hearkened,
mpe boboyi kotosa maloba ya basali na Ngai, basakoli, oyo nazalaki kotindela bino tango na tango atako boboyaki koyokela bango,
6 Then I have given up this house as Shiloh, and this city I give up for a reviling to all nations of the 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 And the priests, and the prophets, and all the people, hear Jeremiah speaking these words in the house of Jehovah,
Banganga-Nzambe, basakoli mpe bato nyonso bazalaki koyoka Jeremi koloba maloba oyo kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
8 And it cometh to pass, at the completion of Jeremiah's speaking all that Jehovah hath commanded him to speak unto all the people, that the priests, and the prophets, and all the people catch him, saying, Thou dost surely 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 Wherefore hast thou prophesied in the name of Jehovah, saying, 'As Shiloh this house shall be, and this city is wasted, without inhabitant?' and all the people are assembled unto Jeremiah in the house of Jehovah.
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 And the heads of Judah hear these things, and they go up from the house of the king [to] the house of Jehovah, and sit in the opening of the new gate of Jehovah.
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 And the priests and the prophets speak unto the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Judgment of death [is] for this man, for he hath prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your 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 And Jeremiah speaketh unto all the heads, and unto all the people, saying, 'Jehovah sent me to prophesy concerning this house, and concerning this city, all the words that ye 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 And now, amend your ways, and your doings, and hearken to the voice of Jehovah your God, and Jehovah doth repent concerning the evil that He hath spoken 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 'And I, lo, I [am] in your hand, do to me as is good and as is 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 Only, know ye certainly, that if ye are putting me to death, surely innocent blood ye are putting on yourselves, and on this city, and on its inhabitants; for truly hath Jehovah sent me unto you to speak in your ears all these words.'
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 And the heads and all the people say unto the priests and unto the prophets, 'There is not for this man a judgment of death, for in the name of Jehovah our God he hath spoken unto us.'
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 And certain of the elders of the land rise up, and speak unto all the assembly of the people, saying,
Ndambo ya bakambi ya mokili batelemaki mpe balobaki na lisanga mobimba ya bato:
18 'Micah the Morashtite hath been prophesying in the days of Hezekiah king of Judah, and he saith unto all the people of Judah, saying: Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Zion is a plowed field, and Jerusalem is heaps, And the mountain of the house is for high places of a forest.
« 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 'Put him at all to death did Hezekiah king of Judah, and all Judah? Did he not fear Jehovah? yea, he appeaseth the face of Jehovah, and Jehovah repenteth concerning the evil that He spake against them; and we are doing great evil against our souls.
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 'And also there hath been a man prophesying in the name of Jehovah, Urijah son of Shemaiah, of Kirjath-Jearim, and he prophesieth against this city, and against this land according to all the words of Jeremiah,
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 And the king Jehoiakim, and all his mighty ones, and all the heads, hear his words, and the king seeketh to put him to death, and Urijah heareth, and feareth, and fleeth, and goeth in 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 And the king Jehoiakim sendeth men to Egypt — Elnathan son of Achbor, and men with him unto Egypt —
Mokonzi Yeoyakimi atindaki Elinatani, mwana mobali ya Akibori, na Ejipito elongo na bato mosusu.
23 And they bring out Urijah from Egypt, and bring him in unto the king Jehoiakim, and he smiteth him with a sword, and casteth his corpse unto the graves of the sons of the 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 Only, the hand of Ahikam son of Shaphan hath been with Jeremiah so as not to give him up into the hand of the people to put him to death.
Nzokande Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, abatelaki Jeremi; boye akabamaki te na maboko ya bato mpo ete baboma ye.
