Jeremiah 49
1 Concerning the sons of Ammon: 'Thus said Jehovah: Sons — hath Israel none? heir — hath he none? Wherefore hath Malcam possessed Gad? And his people in its cities have dwelt?
Na tina na bato ya Amoni: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boni, Isalaele atikali lisusu na bana mibali te? Atikali lisusu na bakitani ya libula te? Bongo mpo na nini Moloki, nzambe ya bato ya Amoni, abotoli bingumba ya Gadi? Mpo na nini bato na ye bayei kovanda na Gadi?
2 Therefore, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sounded unto Rabbah of the sons of Ammon a shout of battle, And it hath been for a heap — a desolation, And her daughters with fire are burnt, And Israel hath succeeded its heirs, Said hath Jehovah.
Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala ete lokito ya bitumba eyokana mpo na kobundisa Raba, engumba ya bato ya Amoni; ekokoma esika ya mabe mpe bamboka mike na yango ekozikisama na moto. Bongo Isalaele akobengana bato oyo babenganaki ye, » elobi Yawe.
3 Howl, Heshbon, for spoiled is Ai, Cry, daughters of Rabbah, gird on sackcloth, Lament, and go to and fro by the hedges, For Malcam into captivity doth go, His priests and his princes together.
« Eshiboni, lela mpo ete Ayi ebebisami! Bino bavandi ya Raba, boganga! Bolata basaki mpe bosala matanga, bokima na bangambo nyonso ya mir, pamba te Moloki akokende na bowumbu elongo na banganga-nzambe mpe bakambi na ye.
4 What — dost thou boast thyself in valleys? Flowed hath thy valley, O backsliding daughter, Who is trusting in her treasures: Who doth come in unto me?
Mpo na nini ozali komikumisa na tina na mabwaku na yo, mabwaku oyo ebotaka bambuma ebele? Oh elenge mwasi oyo otambolaka na bosembo te, ozali solo kotia motema na bomengo na yo mpe ozali koloba: ‹ Nani akobundisa ngai? ›
5 Lo, I am bringing in upon thee a fear, An affirmation of the Lord Jehovah of Hosts, From all round about thee, And ye have been driven out each before it, And there is no gatherer of the wandering.
Nakomemela yo pasi, wuta na zingazinga na yo, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Bakomema moko na moko kati na bino na bowumbu, mpe moto ata moko te akokoka kosangisa bato oyo bakokima.
6 And after this I turn back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, An affirmation of Jehovah.'
Kasi sima na mikolo, nakozongisa lisusu lokumu ya bato ya Amoni, » elobi Yawe.
7 Concerning Edom: 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Perished hath counsel from the intelligent? Vanished hath their wisdom?
Na tina na Edomi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Boni, engumba ya Temani etikali lisusu na bato ya bwanya te? Bato ya mayele batikali lisusu na bososoli te? Boni, bwanya na bango esili penza?
8 Flee, turn, go deep to dwell, ye inhabitants of Dedan, For the calamity of Esau I brought in upon him, The time I inspected him.
Bobaluka mpe bokima, bokende kobombama na madusu ya mabanga, bino bavandi ya engumba Dedani! Pamba te nakotindela Ezawu pasi tango nakopesa ye etumbu.
9 If gatherers have come in to thee, They do not leave gleanings, If thieves in the night, They have destroyed their sufficiency!
Soki bato oyo babukaka bambuma ya vino bayei epai na yo, bakotika ata mbuma moko te ya vino. Soki miyibi bayei epai na yo na butu, bakobebisa ndenge balingi.
10 For I — I have made Esau bare, I have uncovered his secret places, And to be hidden he is not able, Spoiled [is] his seed, and his brethren, And his neighbours, and he is not.
Kasi nakotika Ezawu bolumbu, mpe nakobimisa polele ebombamelo na ye, bongo akokoka lisusu komibomba te. Bana na ye ya mibali to bandeko na ye to mpe bazalani na ye bakosila kokufa; moko te akotikala na bomoi.
11 Leave thine orphans — I do keep alive, And thy widows — on Me trust ye,
Tika bana bitike na yo, nakobatela bomoi na bango; mpe basi na yo, oyo bakufisa mibali bakotiela Ngai motema. »
12 For thus said Jehovah: They whose judgment is not to drink of the cup, Do certainly drink, And thou [art] he that is entirely acquitted! Thou art not acquitted, for thou certainly drinkest.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Soki bato oyo basengeli komela kopo te bameli yango, bongo mpo na nini yo ozanga kozwa etumbu? Te, okozanga te kozwa etumbu, mpe osengeli komela kopo yango!
13 For, by Myself, I have sworn, An affirmation of Jehovah, That for a desolation, for a reproach, For a waste, and for a reviling — is Bozrah, And all her cities are for wastes age-during.
Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « Botsira ekobebisama mpe ekokoma eloko ya somo, eloko ya kotiola mpe ya lisuma; mpe bingumba na yango nyonso ekobebisama mpo na libela. »
14 A report I have heard from Jehovah, And an ambassador among nations is sent, Gather yourselves and come in against her, And rise ye for battle.
Nayoki sango kowuta na Yawe; mpe batindaki ntoma moko epai ya bikolo mpo na koloba: « Bosangana mpo na kobundisa yango! Botelema mpo na bitumba!
15 For, lo, little I have made thee among nations, Despised among men.
Nakokomisa yo moke kati na bikolo, ekolo ya kotiola kati na bato.
16 Thy terribleness hath lifted thee up, The pride of thy heart, O dweller in clefts of the rock, Holding the high place of the height, For thou makest high as an eagle thy nest, From thence I bring thee down, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Somo oyo bato bazali koyoka yo mpe lolendo ya motema na yo ezali kokosa yo. Yo movandi ya madusu ya mabanga, yo oyo otonga ndako na yo na basonge ya bangomba; ata soki otongi zala na yo likolo lokola mpongo, nakokweyisa yo longwa kuna kino na se, » elobi Yawe.
17 And Edom hath been for a desolation, Every passer by her is astonished, And doth hiss because of all her plagues.
« Mokili ya Edomi ekokoma eloko ya somo; moto nyonso oyo akolekela wana akokamwa mpe akoyoka somo wana akomona kobeba na yango nyonso.
18 As the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And its neighbours, said Jehovah, No one doth dwell there, Nor sojourn in her doth a son of man.
Ndenge Sodome mpe Gomore ebebisamaki elongo na bingumba na yango ya zingazinga, » elobi Yawe, « moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna, moko te akowumela kati na yango.
19 Lo, as a lion he cometh up, Because of the rising of the Jordan, Unto the enduring habitation, But I cause to rest, I cause him to run from off her, And who is chosen? concerning her I lay a charge, For who is like Me? and who conveneth Me? And who [is] this shepherd who standeth before Me?
Ndenge nkosi eyaka wuta na bazamba ya Yordani mpo na kokende na mapango epai wapi babokolaka bibwele, ndenge wana mpe nakobengana Edomi na mokili na yango na mbala moko; Ngai moko nakopona moto oyo akokoma mokonzi ya Edomi. Nani akokani na Ngai? Nani akoki kobeta tembe na Ngai? Mobateli bibwele nani akoki kotelema liboso na Ngai?
20 Therefore, hear ye the counsel of Jehovah, That He hath counselled concerning Edom, And His devices that He hath devised Concerning the inhabitants of Teman: Drag them out do not little ones of the flock, Make desolate over them doth he not their habitation?
Yango wana, boyoka mabongisi oyo Yawe asili kosala mpo na kotelemela Edomi, mokano oyo asili kozwa mpo na kotelemela bavandi ya Temani: ‹ Bakobengana bango na lopango lokola bana mike ya etonga, akobebisa etando na bango.
21 From the noise of their fall hath the earth shaken, The cry — at the sea of Suph is its voice heard.
Mabele ekoningana na lokito ya kokweya na bango, makelele na yango ekoyokana kino na ebale monene ya Barozo.
22 Lo, as an eagle he cometh up, and flieth, And he spreadeth his wings over Bozrah, And the heart of the mighty of Edom hath been in that day, As the heart of a distressed woman!'
Tala, mpongo moko ekopumbwa mpe ekokita na elulu, etanda mapapu na yango likolo ya Botsira! Na mokolo wana, mitema ya basoda ya Edomi ekokoma lokola motema ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota. › »
23 Concerning Damascus: Ashamed hath been Hamath and Arpad, For an evil report they have heard, They have been melted, in the sea [is] sorrow, To be quiet it is not able.
Na tina ya Damasi: « Amati mpe Aripadi batondisami na soni, pamba te bayoki sango ya mabe. Mitema na bango ekomi likolo-likolo mpe bakomi komitungisa lokola ebale oyo etomboki.
24 Feeble hath been Damascus, She turned to flee, and fear strengthened her, Distress and pangs have seized her, as a travailing woman.
Bato ya Damasi balembi nzoto, bakomi koluka kokima mpe somo ekangi bango; kobanga mpe pasi ezwi bango lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
25 How is it not left — the city of praise, The city of my joy!
Ndenge nini bosundola engumba ya lokumu boye, engumba oyo ezalaki kosepelisa motema na Ngai?
26 Therefore fall do her young men in her broad places, And all the men of war are cut off in that day, An affirmation of Jehovah of Hosts.
Solo, bilenge mibali na yango bakokweya na babalabala na yango na mokolo wana, basoda na yango ya mpiko bakokanga minoko, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
27 And I have kindled a fire against the wall of Damascus, And it consumed palaces of Ben-Hadad!'
« Nakozikisa bamir ya Damasi na moto mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako batonga makasi ya mokonzi Beni-Adadi. »
28 Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, that Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon hath smitten: 'Thus said Jehovah: Arise ye, go ye up unto Kedar, And spoil the sons of the east.
Na tina na Kedari mpe mikili ya Atsori, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abundisaki: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Botelema mpe bobundisa Kedari, bobebisa bato ya este.
29 Their tents and their flock they do take, Their curtains, and all their vessels, And their camels, they bear away for themselves, And they called concerning them, Fear [is] round about.
Bobotola na makasi bandako na bango ya kapo mpe bibwele na bango; bomema bilamba, biloko na bango ya kitoko mpe bashamo na bango! Tika ete bato bawolola bango na bangambo nyonso: ‹ Somo ekangi bango na bangambo nyonso! ›
30 Flee, bemoan mightily, go deep to dwell, Ye inhabitants of Hazor — an affirmation of Jehovah, For given counsel against you hath Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, Yea, he deviseth against them a device.
Bino bavandi ya Atsori, bokima na lombangu, bobombama na madusu ya mabanga, » elobi Yawe. « Pamba te Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, asaleli bino likita, asali penza mabongisi ya kosala bino mabe!
31 Rise ye, go up unto a nation at rest, Dwelling confidently, an affirmation of Jehovah, It hath no two-leaved doors nor bar, Alone they do dwell.
Botelema mpe bobundisa ekolo oyo ezali na kimia, ekolo oyo ebangaka eloko moko te, » elobi Yawe, « ekolo oyo ezanga bikuke mpe banzete oyo bakangelaka bikuke, ekolo oyo bato na yango bazalaka kaka bango moko.
32 And their camels have been for a prey, And the multitude of their cattle for a spoil, And I have scattered them to every wind, Who cut off the corner [of the beard], And from all its passages I bring in their calamity, An affirmation of Jehovah.
Tika ete bashamo na bango ekoma bomengo ya bitumba, bayiba bibwele na bango ebele. Nakopanza na mopepe bavandi ya mosika, mpe nakokweyisela bango pasi longwa na bisika nyonso, » elobi Yawe.
33 And Hazor hath been for a habitation of dragons, A desolation — unto the age, No one doth dwell there, nor sojourn in it doth a son of man!'
« Atsori ekokoma esika oyo mbwa ya zamba evandaka, esika oyo etikala pamba mpo na libela: moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna mpe moto moko te akowumela lisusu kati na yango. »
34 That which hath been the word of Jehovah unto Jeremiah the prophet concerning Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah king of Judah, saying:
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na Elami, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
35 'Thus said Jehovah of Hosts: Lo, I am breaking the bow of Elam, The beginning of their might.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala, nakobuka tolotolo ya Elami, ebundeli oyo esalaka makasi na ye.
36 And I have brought in to Elam four winds, From the four ends of the heavens, And have scattered them to all these winds, And there is no nation whither outcasts of Elam come not in.
Nakotindela Elami mipepe minei ya makasi, wuta na basonge minei ya lola, nakopanza bango na mokili mobimba mpe akozala na ekolo moko te oyo ekozanga koyamba bato ya Elami oyo bakokima.
37 And I have affrighted Elam before their enemies, And before those seeking their life, And I have brought in against them evil, The heat of Mine anger, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I have sent after them the sword, Till I have consumed them;
Nakosala ete bato ya Elami balenga liboso ya banguna na bango, liboso ya bato oyo bazali koluka kosala bango mabe; nakokweyisela bango pasi na kanda na Ngai, » elobi Yawe. « Nakolanda bango na mopanga kino nakosilisa koboma bango.
38 And I have set My throne in Elam, And I have destroyed thence King and princes — an affirmation of Jehovah.
Nakotia Kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi kati na Elami mpe nakoboma mokonzi mpe bakalaka na yango, » elobi Yawe.
39 And it hath come to pass, in the latter end of the days, I turn back [to] the captivity of Elam, An affirmation of Jehovah!'
« Nzokande, na mikolo ekolanda, nakozongisa lokumu ya Elami, » elobi Yawe.
