Jeremiah 46
1 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the nations,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na bikolo ya bapaya:
2 For Egypt, concerning the force of Pharaoh-Necho king of Egypt, that hath been by the river Phrat, in Carchemish, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten, in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah:
Na tina ya Ejipito: Tala maloba ya kosambisa mampinga ya Faraon Neko, mokonzi ya Ejipito, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, alongaki pene ya ebale Efrate, na Karikemishi, tango Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu minei na bokonzi:
3 'Set ye in array shield and buckler, And draw nigh to battle.
« Bobongisa banguba na bino: ya minene mpe ya mike, mpe bokende bitumba!
4 Gird the horses, and go up, ye horsemen, And station yourselves with helmets, Polish the javelins, put on the coats of mail.
Bobongisa bampunda mpe bomata na bashar! Bomitanda na milongo mpe bolata bikoti ya bitumba! Bopelisa basonge ya makonga na bino mpe bolata bibundeli!
5 Wherefore have I seen them dismayed — They are turned backward, And their mighty ones are beaten down, And [to] a refuge they have fled, and not turned the face? Fear [is] round about — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Nazali komona nini? Bazali kolenga na somo mpe kozonga sima; balongi basoda na bango ya mpiko, bazali kopota mbangu makasi mpe bazali ata kotala sima te: somo ekangi bango na bangambo nyonso, » elobi Yawe.
6 The swift do not flee, nor do the mighty escape, Northward, by the side of the river Phrat, They have stumbled and fallen.
« Bato ya mbangu bazali kokoka lisusu kokima te, mpe basoda ya mpiko bazali kokoka lisusu kobika te! Bazali nde kobeta mabaku mpe kokweya pembeni ya ebale Efrate, kati na etuka ya nor.
7 Who is this? as a flood he cometh up, As rivers do his waters shake themselves!
Nani oyo azali koya lokola ebale Nili, lokola mayi ya bibale oyo etomboki?
8 Egypt, as a flood cometh up, And as rivers the waters shake themselves. And he saith, I go up; I cover the land, I destroy the city and the inhabitants in it.
Mokili ya Ejipito ezali koya lokola ebale Nili, lokola mayi ya bibale oyo etomboki. Ejipito ezali koloba: ‹ Nakoya mpe nakotondisa mokili, nakobebisa bingumba mpe bato na yango. ›
9 Go up, ye horses; and boast yourselves, ye chariots, And go forth, ye mighty, Cush and Phut handling the shield, And Lud handling — treading the bow.
Bino bampunda, bokende! Bino basoda oyo botambolaka likolo ya bashar, botambolisa mbangu! Bino basoda, bato ya Kushi mpe ya Puti, oyo bomemaka banguba, mpe bino bato ya Ludi oyo bobundaka na matolotolo, bokende liboso!
10 And that day [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts A day of vengeance, To be avenged of His adversaries, And the sword hath devoured, and been satisfied, And it hath been watered from their blood, For a sacrifice [is] to the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, In the land of the north, by the river Phrat.
Ezali mokolo ya Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, mpo na kozongisela banguna na yo mabe. Mopanga ekoboma kino ekotonda, kino ekosilisa posa na yango ya makila; pamba te ezali nde mbeka mpo na Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, pene ya ebale Efrate, kati na etuka ya nor.
11 Go up to Gilead, and take balm, O virgin daughter of Egypt, In vain thou hast multiplied medicines, Healing there is none for thee.
Oh moseka Ejipito, kende kozwa malasi kati na Galadi! Ozali kobakisa na pamba bakisi likolo ya bakisi, okobika na yo te!
12 Nations have heard of thy shame, And thy cry hath filled the land, For the mighty on the mighty did stumble, Together they have fallen — both of them!'
Bikolo ya bapaya ekoyoka sango ya soni na yo, makelele ya koganga na yo ekotondisa mabele. Soda moko akotutana na soda mosusu, mpe bango mibale bakokweya nzela moko. »
13 The word that Jehovah hath spoken unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning the coming in of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, to smite the land of Egypt:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na koya ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpo na kobundisa Ejipito:
14 'Declare ye in Egypt, and sound in Migdol, Yea, sound in Noph, and in Tahpanhes say: Station thyself, yea, prepare for thee, For a sword hath devoured around thee,
« Loba makambo oyo na Ejipito mpe tatola yango na Migidoli; tatola yango lisusu na Mefisi mpe na Takipenesi: ‹ Bomitanda na milongo mpe bobongama, pamba te mopanga ezali koboma bato oyo bazali zingazinga na yo. ›
15 Wherefore hath thy bull been swept away? He hath not stood, because Jehovah thrust him away.
Mpo na nini bamemi basoda na yo ya mpiko? Bakokaki kopika te, pamba te Yawe akweyisaki bango.
16 He hath multiplied the stumbling, Yea one hath fallen upon his neighbour, And they say: Rise, and we turn back to our people, And unto the land of our birth, Because of the oppressing sword.
Tango nyonso, bazali se kobeta mabaku, bazali kokweya moko likolo ya mosusu. Bazali koloba: ‹ Tika ete totelema mpe tozonga epai ya bato na biso moko mpe na mokili na biso, epai babota biso, mpo ete tobika na mopanga oyo ezali koboma. ›
17 They have cried there: Pharaoh king of Egypt [is] a desolation, Passed by hath the appointed time.
Kuna, bakokoma koganga: ‹ Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, atiaka kaka makelele ya pamba, akoki na ye makambo te! ›
18 I live — an affirmation of the King, Jehovah of Hosts [is] His name, Surely as Tabor [is] among mountains, And as Carmel by the sea — he cometh in,
Lokola Ngai nazali na bomoi, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; « monguna oyo azali lokola ngomba Tabori kati na bangomba, lokola ngomba Karimeli pembeni ya ebale monene, azali koya!
19 Goods for removal make for thee, O inhabitant, daughter of Egypt, For Noph becometh a desolation, And hath been burnt up, without inhabitant.
Yo movandi ya Ejipito, kanga bisaka na yo mpo na kokende na bowumbu, pamba te Mefisi ekokoma esobe, ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te!
20 A heifer very fair [is] Egypt, Rending from the north doth come into her.
Mokili ya Ejipito ezali lokola mwana ngombe ya kitoko ya mwasi, kasi nzinzi ezali koya koswa yango kowuta na nor.
21 Even her hired ones in her midst [are] as calves of the stall, For even they have turned, They have fled together, they have not stood, For the day of their calamity hath come on them, The time of their inspection.
Basoda ya bapaya bazali kati na milongo na ye, bazali lokola bana ngombe ya mibali mpe ya mafuta kati na etonga. Bango mpe bakobaluka mpe bakokima nzela moko; bakokoka kolonga te, pamba te mokolo ya pasi ezali koya kokweyela bango: ezali tango ya etumbu mpo na bango.
22 Its voice as a serpent goeth on, For with a force they go, And with axes they have come in to her, As hewers of trees.
Ejipito ezali kokima, na makelele lokola nyoka, pamba te banguna na yango bazali kopusana na nguya; bazali koya kobundisa yango na bipasola lokola bato oyo bakataka banzete.
23 They have cut down her forest, An affirmation of Jehovah — for it is not searched, For they have been more than the grasshopper, And they have no numbering.
Bakokata banzete nyonso ya zamba na yango, » elobi Yawe, « ata soki ezali na banzete ebele. Bazali ebele koleka mabanki, bakokoka kotanga motango na bango te.
24 Ashamed hath been the daughter of Egypt, She hath been given into the hand of the people of the north.
Elenge mwasi ya Ejipito akoyokisama soni, akokweya na maboko ya bato ya nor. »
25 Said hath Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel: Lo, I am seeing after Amon of No, And after Pharaoh, and after Egypt, And after her gods, and after her kings, And after Pharaoh, and after those trusting in him,
Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Nakopesa etumbu epai na Amoni, na nzambe ya Tebesi, na Faraon, na Ejipito mpe na banzambe na yango, na Faraon mpe na bato oyo batiaka mitema na bango epai na ye.
26 And I have given them into the hand of those seeking their life, And into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, And into the hand of his servants, And afterwards it is inhabited, As [in] days of old — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Nakokaba bango na maboko ya bato oyo bazali koluka kosala bango mabe, na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe na maboko ya bakonzi ya basoda na ye. Mpe na sima na tango, Ejipito ekotonda lisusu na bato oyo bakovanda kuna, ndenge ezalaki na tango ya kala, » elobi Yawe.
27 And thou, thou dost not fear, my servant Jacob, Nor [art] thou dismayed, O Israel, For lo, I am saving thee from afar, And thy seed from the land of their captivity, And Jacob hath turned back, And hath been at rest, and been at ease, And there is none disturbing.
« Oh Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, kobanga te! Oh Isalaele, kobanga te; nakobikisa yo solo wuta na mokili ya mosika, nabikisa bakitani na yo wuta na mokili ya bowumbu. Jakobi akozala lisusu na kimia mpe na bobatelami malamu, moto moko te akobangisa ye lisusu.
28 Thou, thou dost not fear, My servant Jacob, An affirmation of Jehovah — for with thee I [am], For I make an end of all the nations Whither I have driven thee, And of thee I do not make an end, And I have reproved thee in judgment, And do not entirely acquit thee!'
Oh Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, kobanga te; pamba te nazali elongo na yo, » elobi Yawe, « ata soki nabebisi bikolo nyonso epai wapi napanzaki bino, nakobebisa yo nyonso te. Nakopamela yo solo, kasi nakosala yango na bosembo; nakozanga te kopesa yo etumbu. »
