Jeremi 1
1 Mokanda oyo ezali kolobela maloba ya Jeremi, mwana mobali ya Ilikia, moko kati na Banganga-Nzambe ya engumba Anatoti, kati na etuka ya Benjame; ezali mpe kolobela makambo oyo ekomelaki ye.
[the] words of Jeremiah [the] son of Hilkiah one of the priests who [were] at Anathoth in [the] land of Benjamin.
2 Yawe alobaki na ye tango mokonzi Joziasi, mwana mobali ya Amoni, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na misato na bokonzi,
Whom it came [the] word of Yahweh to him in [the] days of Josiah [the] son of Amon [the] king of Judah in thir-teen year of reigning his.
3 mpe na tango ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, kino na suka ya sanza ya mitano ya mobu ya zomi na moko ya bokonzi ya Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, kino tango bato ya Yelusalemi bakendeki na bowumbu.
And it came in [the] days of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah until was finished one [plus] ten year of Zedekiah [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah until went into exile Jerusalem in the month fifth.
4 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying.
5 — Liboso ete nasala yo kati na libumu ya mama na yo, nayebaki yo; liboso ete obotama, nabulisaki yo: naponaki yo mpo ete ozala mosakoli ya bikolo.
Before (I formed you *Q(k)*) in the belly I knew you and before you came forth from [the] womb I set apart you a prophet to the nations I appointed you.
6 Nazongisaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, nayebi koloba te, pamba te nazali nanu elenge!
And I said alas! O Lord Yahweh here! not I know to speak for [am] a youth I.
7 Kasi Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Koloba te: « Nazali elenge. » Osengeli kokende epai ya bato nyonso epai wapi nakotinda yo, mpe osengeli koyebisa bango makambo nyonso oyo nakotinda yo.
And he said Yahweh to me may not you say [am] a youth I for to every [one] whom I will send you you will go and all that I will command you you will speak.
8 Kobanga bango te, pamba te nazali elongo na yo mpo na kobatela yo, —elobi Yawe.
May not you be afraid of them for [will be] with you I to deliver you [the] utterance of Yahweh.
9 Bongo Yawe asembolaki loboko na Ye, asimbaki monoko na ngai mpe alobaki: — Tala, nasili kotia maloba na Ngai kati na monoko na yo.
And he stretched out Yahweh hand his and he touched mouth my and he said Yahweh to me here! I have put words my in mouth your.
10 Na mokolo ya lelo, yeba ete nasili kopesa yo bokonzi likolo ya bikolo mpe ya mikili mpo na kopikola mpe kopanza, kobuka mpe kokweyisa, kotonga mpe kolona.
See I appoint you - the day this over the nations and over kingdoms to pluck up and to pull down and to destroy and to tear down to build and to plant.
11 Sima na yango, Yawe atunaki ngai: — Jeremi, ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona etape ya nzete ya amande.
And it came [the] word of Yahweh to me saying what? [are] you seeing O Jeremiah and I said a branch of an almond tree I [am] seeing.
12 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Omoni malamu, pamba te nasenzelaka maloba na Ngai mpo na kokokisa yango.
And he said Yahweh to me you have done well to see for [am] watching I over word my to do it.
13 Yawe atunaki ngai lisusu: — Ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona nzungu moko ezali kotoka, etengama na ngambo ya nor.
And it came [the] word of Yahweh - to me a second [time] saying what? [are] you seeing and I said a pot blown upon I [am] seeing and face its [is] away from [the] face of north-ward.
14 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Ezali wuta na nor nde pasi ekokomela bavandi ya mokili.
And he said Yahweh to me from [the] north it will be let loose calamity on all [the] inhabitants of the land.
15 Pamba te nakobengisa bato nyonso ya bituka ya nor, —elobi Yawe. Bakonzi na bango bakoya kotia bakiti na bango ya bokonzi liboso ya bikuke ya Yelusalemi; bakozingela bamir nyonso ya Yelusalemi mpe bakobundisa bingumba nyonso ya Yuda.
For - here I [am] summoning all [the] clans of [the] kingdoms of north-ward [the] utterance of Yahweh and they will come and they will set each one throne his [the] entrance of - [the] gates of Jerusalem and on all walls its all around and on all [the] cities of Judah.
16 Nakosambisa bato na Ngai mpo na mabe oyo basalaki: basundolaki Ngai, bakomaki kobonza mbeka ya malasi epai ya banzambe mosusu, mpe bakomaki kogumbamela banzambe oyo basalaki na maboko na bango.
And I will speak judgments my with them on all wickedness their which they have forsaken me and they have made smoke to gods other and they have bowed down to [the] products of hands their.
17 Mibongisa, yika mpiko! Telema mpe yebisa bango makambo nyonso oyo Ngai nakotinda yo; kozala na somo na bango te, noki te nakokweyisa yo liboso na bango.
And you you will gird loins your and you will arise and you will say to them all that I I will command you may not you be dismayed because of them lest I should make dismayed you before them.
18 Na mokolo ya lelo, nakomisi yo engumba batonga makasi, likonzi ya ebende mpe mir ya ebende mpo na komibatela liboso ya mokili mobimba: liboso ya bakonzi ya Yuda, ya bakalaka na yango, ya Banganga-Nzambe na yango mpe ya bavandi nyonso ya mokili yango.
And I here! I have made you this day into a city of fortification and into a pillar of iron and into walls of bronze on all the land to [the] kings of Judah to officials its to priests its and to [the] people of the land.
19 Yeba ete bakobundisa yo, kasi bakolonga yo te; pamba te nazali elongo na yo mpo na kobatela yo, elobi Yawe.
And they will fight against you and not they will prevail to you for [will be] with you I [the] utterance of Yahweh to deliver you.
