< 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 wordis of Jeremye, sone of Helchie, of the preestis that weren in Anathot, in the lond of Beniamyn.
2 Yawe alobaki na ye tango mokonzi Joziasi, mwana mobali ya Amoni, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na misato na bokonzi,
For the word of the Lord was maad to hym in the daies of Josie, the sone of Amon, kyng of Juda, in the threttenethe yeer of his rewme.
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 was don in the daies of Joachym, the sone of Josie, the king of Juda, til to the endyng of the enleuenthe yeer of Sedechie, sone of Josie, kyng of Juda, til the passyng ouer, ether caitifte, of Jerusalem, in the fyuethe monethe.
4 Yawe alobaki na ngai:
And the word of the Lord was maad to me,
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.
and seide, Bifor that Y fourmede thee in the wombe, Y knewe thee; and bifor that thou yedist out of the wombe, Y halewide thee; and Y yaf thee a profete among folkis.
6 Nazongisaki: — Oh Nkolo Yawe, nayebi koloba te, pamba te nazali nanu elenge!
And Y seide, A! A! A! Lord God, lo! Y kan not speke, for Y am a child.
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 the Lord seide to me, Nyle thou seie, that Y am a child; for thou schalt go to alle thingis, to whiche Y schal sende thee, and thou schalt speke alle thingis, what euer thingis Y schal comaunde to thee.
8 Kobanga bango te, pamba te nazali elongo na yo mpo na kobatela yo, —elobi Yawe.
Drede thou not of the face of hem, for Y am with thee, to delyuere thee, seith the Lord.
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 the Lord sente his hond, and touchide my mouth; and the Lord seide to me, Lo! Y haue youe my wordis in thi mouth; lo!
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.
Y haue ordeynede thee to day on folkis, and on rewmes, that thou drawe vp, and distrie, and leese, and scatere, and bilde, and plaunte.
11 Sima na yango, Yawe atunaki ngai: — Jeremi, ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona etape ya nzete ya amande.
And the word of the Lord was maad to me, and seide, What seest thou, Jeremye?
12 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Omoni malamu, pamba te nasenzelaka maloba na Ngai mpo na kokokisa yango.
And Y seide, Y se a yerde wakynge. And the Lord seide to me, Thou hast seen wel, for Y schal wake on my word, to do it.
13 Yawe atunaki ngai lisusu: — Ozali komona nini? Nazongisaki: — Nazali komona nzungu moko ezali kotoka, etengama na ngambo ya nor.
And the word of the Lord was maad the secounde tyme to me, and seide, What seest thou? Y se a pot buylynge, and the face therof fro the face of the north.
14 Yawe alobaki na ngai: — Ezali wuta na nor nde pasi ekokomela bavandi ya mokili.
And the Lord seide to me, Fro the north schal be schewid al yuel on alle the dwelleris of the lond.
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 lo! Y schal clepe togidere alle the naciouns of rewmes of the north, seith the Lord, and thei schulen come, and sette ech man his seete in the entryng of the yatis of Jerusalem, and on alle the wallis therof in cumpas, and on alle the citees of Juda.
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 Y schal speke my domes with hem on al the malice of hem, that forsoken me, and maden sacrifice to alien goddis, and worschipiden the werk of her hondis.
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.
Therfor girde thou thi leendis, and rise thou, and speke to hem alle thingis whiche Y comaunde to thee; drede thou not of the face of hem, for Y schal not make thee for to drede the cheer of hem.
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.
For Y yaf thee to dai in to a strong citee, and in to an yrun piler, and in to a brasun wal, on al the lond, to the kyngis of Juda, and to the princis therof, and to the preestis therof, and to al the puple of the lond.
19 Yeba ete bakobundisa yo, kasi bakolonga yo te; pamba te nazali elongo na yo mpo na kobatela yo, elobi Yawe.
And thei schulen fiyte ayens thee, and thei schulen not haue the maistrie; for Y am with thee, seith the Lord, that Y delyuere thee.
