Jeremi 20
1 Nganga-Nzambe Pashuri, mwana mobali ya Imeri, mokonzi ya Tempelo ya Yawe, ayokaki ndenge Jeremi azalaki kosakola.
And Pashur the son of Immer, the priest — and he was chief officer in the house of Jehovah — heard Jeremiah prophesy these things.
2 Nganga-Nzambe Pashuri abetisaki Mosakoli Jeremi fimbu mpe akangisaki ye na likonzi oyo ezalaki na ekuke ya likolo ya Benjame, ekuke oyo ememaka na Tempelo ya Yawe.
And Pashur smote Jeremiah the prophet, and put him in the stocks that were in the upper gate of Benjamin, which was in the house of Jehovah.
3 Mokolo oyo elandaki, tango Pashuri alongolaki ye na likonzi, Jeremi alobaki na ye: — Yawe akobenga yo lisusu Pashuri te, kasi Magori-Misabibe.
And it came to pass the next day, that Pashur brought forth Jeremiah out of the stocks; and Jeremiah said unto him, Jehovah hath not called thy name Pashur, but Magor-missabib.
4 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakotindela yo mpe balingami na yo nyonso makambo ya somo; okomona na miso na yo ndenge nini bakokweya na mopanga liboso ya banguna na bango. Nakokaba Yuda nyonso na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni oyo akomema bango na bowumbu, na Babiloni, to akoboma bango na mopanga.
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, I make thee a terror to thyself, and to all thy friends; and they shall fall by the sword of their enemies, and thine eyes shall see [it]; and I will give all Judah into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall carry them captive into Babylon, and shall smite them with the sword.
5 Nakokaba bozwi nyonso ya engumba oyo na maboko ya banguna na bango: biloko nyonso ya engumba, biloko ya talo mpe bomengo nyonso ya mokonzi ya Yuda; bakokamata yango mpe bakomema yango na mokili ya Babiloni.
And, I will give all the wealth of this city, and all its gains, and all its precious things, and all the treasures of the kings of Judah, will I give into the hand of their enemies; and they shall make them a prey, and take them, and carry them to Babylon.
6 Mpo na yo Pashuri mpe bavandi nyonso ya ndako na yo, bokokende na bowumbu na mokili ya Babiloni. Bokokufa mpe bakokunda bino kuna, ezala yo to balingami na yo nyonso oyo bosakolaki makambo ya lokuta epai na bango. »
And thou, Pashur, and all that dwell in thy house shall go into captivity; and thou shalt come to Babylon, and there thou shalt die, and there thou shalt be buried, thou and all thy friends to whom thou hast prophesied falsehood.
7 Eh Yawe, okosaki-kosaki ngai, mpe nakosamaki penza; olekaki ngai na makasi mpe olongaki ngai. Bazali kotiola ngai mikolo nyonso, bato nyonso bazali kaka koseka ngai.
Jehovah, thou hast enticed me, and I was enticed; thou hast laid hold of me, and hast prevailed; I am become a derision the whole day: every one mocketh me.
8 Na tango nyonso oyo nalobaka, nagangaka makasi mpo na kosakola kaka mobulu mpe kobebisama. Mokolo na mokolo, Liloba na Yawe ememelaka ngai kofingama mpe pamela ya mabe.
For as oft as I speak, I cry out; I proclaim violence and spoil; for the word of Jehovah is become unto me a reproach and a derision all the day.
9 Kasi soki nalobi: « Nakotanga lisusu Kombo na Ye te, » Liloba na Ye kati na motema na ngai ekomaka lokola moto oyo ezali kopela kino na mikuwa na ngai; nalongaka te kokanga yango, nakokaka te!
And I said, I will not make mention of him, nor speak any more in his name: but it was in my heart as a burning fire shut up in my bones; and I became wearied with holding in, and I could not.
10 Nazali koyoka bato ebele koloba na se se se: « Botala! Somo na bangambo nyonso! Bofunda ye! Tofunda ye! » Baninga na ngai nyonso bazali kozela kokweya na ngai, bazali koloba: « Tango mosusu akokosama, tokokanga ye kaka mpe tokozongisela ye mabe! »
For I have heard the defaming of many, terror on every side: Report, and we will report it. All my familiars are watching for my stumbling: Peradventure he will be enticed, and we shall prevail against him; and we shall take our revenge on him.
11 Kasi Yawe azali elongo na ngai lokola Elombe ya bitumba; boye, banyokoli na ngai bakokweya mpe mikano na bango ekokokisama te; bakotikala na soni mpe bakolonga te, bakobosana ata mokolo moko te soni na bango.
But Jehovah is with me as a mighty terrible one; therefore my persecutors shall stumble and shall not prevail; they shall be greatly ashamed, for they have not prospered: it shall be an everlasting confusion that shall not be forgotten.
12 Eh Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Yo oyo omonaka mitema ya bayengebene mpe oyebaka malamu makanisi ya mitema ya bato, tika ete namona Yo kozongisela bango mabe, pamba te napesi likambo na ngai na maboko na Yo!
And thou, Jehovah of hosts, who triest the righteous, who seest the reins and the heart, let me see thy vengeance on them; for unto thee have I revealed my cause.
13 Boyembela Yawe! Bokumisa Yawe! Pamba te abikisaka bomoi ya mobola na maboko ya bato mabe.
Sing ye unto Jehovah, praise Jehovah, for he hath delivered the soul of the needy from the hand of evildoers.
14 Tika ete mokolo ya mbotama na ngai elakelama mabe! Tika ete mokolo oyo mama na ngai abotaki ngai epambolama te!
Cursed be the day wherein I was born; let not the day wherein my mother bore me be blessed!
15 Tika ete alakelama mabe, moto oyo amemelaki tata na ngai sango oyo esepelisaki motema na ye: « Baboteli yo mwana, mwana mobali! »
Cursed be the man who brought tidings to my father, saying, A man child is born unto thee; making him very glad!
16 Tika ete moto yango akoma lokola bingumba oyo Yawe abuki na mawa te! Tika ete ayoka bileli na tongo mpe makelele ya bitumba na midi.
And let that man be as the cities which Jehovah overthrew, and repented not; and let him hear a cry in the morning, and a shouting at noonday,
17 Mpo na nini Nzambe abomaki ngai te kati na libumu ya mama na ngai, oyo alingaki kozala kunda na ngai, mpe libumu na ye elingaki kobomba ngai libela na libela?
because he slew me not from the womb. Or would that my mother had been my grave, and her womb always great [with me]!
18 Mpo na nini penza nabimaki na libumu ya mama na ngai? Ezali kaka mpo na komona pasi mpe mikakatano, mpe kosukisa bomoi na ngai na soni?
Wherefore came I forth from the womb to see labour and sorrow, that my days should be consumed in shame?
