Jeremi 21
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi tango mokonzi Sedesiasi atindelaki ye Pashuri, mwana mobali ya Malikiya, mpe Nganga-Nzambe Sofoni, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, mpo na koloba na ye:
The word which it came to Jeremiah from with Yahweh when sent to him the king Zedekiah Pashhur [the] son of Malkijah and Zephaniah [the] son of Maaseiah the priest saying.
2 « Tuna Yawe sik’oyo mpo na biso, pamba te Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, azali kobundisa biso; tango mosusu Yawe akosala bikamwa mpo na biso ndenge asalaki na tango ya kala, mpo ete Nabukodonozori atika biso. »
Seek please for us Yahweh for Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon [is] waging war on us perhaps he will do Yahweh with us according to all wonders his and he may go up from on us.
3 Kasi Jeremi azongiselaki bango: « Boloba na Sedesiasi:
And he said Jeremiah to them thus you will say! to Zedekiah.
4 ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nakomi pene ya kosala ete bibundeli oyo ezali kati na maboko na bino, oyo bozali kosalela mpo na kobundisa mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bato ya Chalide oyo bazingeli bino na libanda ya engumba, ebalukela bino; mpe nakosangisa bango kati na engumba oyo.
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel here I [am] about to turn round [the] weapons of war which [are] in hand your which you [are] fighting by them with [the] king of Babylon and with the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you from [the] outside of the wall and I will gather them into [the] middle of the city this.
5 Mpe Ngai moko, nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kobundisa bino na nguya, na kanda, na kosilika mpe na kotomboka makasi.
And I will fight I with you by a hand outstretched and by an arm strong and in anger and in rage and in wrath great.
6 Nakobebisa nyonso oyo ezali kati na engumba oyo: bato mpe banyama; mpe bakokufa na bokono oyo ebomaka.
And I will strike down [the] inhabitants of the city this and the humankind and the animal[s] by a pestilence great they will die.
7 Sima na yango, elobi Yawe, nakokaba na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe na maboko ya banguna na bango oyo bazali na posa ya kosala bango mabe: Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, bakalaka na ye mpe bavandi ya engumba oyo, ba-oyo bakobika na bokono oyo ebomaka, na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi. Nabukodonozori akoboma bango na mopanga, akokangela bango motema mpe akoyokela bango mawa te. ›
And after thus [the] utterance of Yahweh I will give Zedekiah [the] king of Judah and servants his - and the people and those [who] remain in the city this from the pestilence - from the sword and from the famine in [the] hand of Nebuchadnezzar [the] king of Babylon and in [the] hand of enemies their and in [the] hand of [those who] seek life their and he will strike down them to [the] mouth of [the] sword not he will have mercy on them and not he will show pity and not he will have compassion.
8 Mpe lisusu, loba na bato: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Botala, nasili kotia liboso na bino nzela ya bomoi mpe nzela ya kufa.
And to the people this you will say thus he says Yahweh here I [am] putting before you [the] way of life and [the] way of death.
9 Moto nyonso oyo akotikala kati na engumba oyo akokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka. Kasi moto oyo akobima mpe akokende komipesa na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni oyo bazingeli bino, akobikisa bomoi na ye mpe akokufa te.
The [one who] remains in the city this he will die by the sword and by famine and by pestilence and the [one who] goes out and he will fall on the Chaldeans who are laying siege on you (and he will live *Q(K)*) and it will belong to him life his to plunder.
10 Nazwaki mokano ya kosala engumba oyo mabe, kasi bolamu te, elobi Yawe; nakokaba yango na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo akobebisa yango na moto. ›
For I have set face my on the city this for harm and not for good [the] utterance of Yahweh in [the] hand of [the] king of Babylon it will be given and he will burn it with fire.
11 Loba na libota ya mokonzi ya Yuda: ‹ Boyoka Liloba na Yawe!
And to [the] house of [the] king of Judah hear [the] word of Yahweh.
12 Oh libota ya Davidi, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Kataka makambo na bosembo na tongo nyonso, bikisa monyokolami na maboko ya monyokoli; soki te, likolo ya mabe oyo basalaki Ngai, kanda na Ngai ekopela mpe ekotumba lokola moto; mpe ekozala na moto ata moko te mpo na koboma yango.
O house of David thus he says Yahweh judge to the morning justice and deliver [one who] has been robbed from [the] hand of an oppressor lest it should go forth like fire rage my and it will burn and there not [will be one who] extinguishes because of [the] wickedness of (deeds your. *Q(K)*)
13 Oh Yelusalemi, yo oyo ovandaka na lubwaku, na mabanga ya etando ya likolo ya ngomba, nazali kosepela na yo te, elobi Yawe, yo oyo olobaka: ‘Nani azali na makoki ya kobundisa biso? Nani azali na makoki ya kokota na ekimelo na biso?’
Here I [am] against you O inhabitant of the valley O rock of the plain [the] utterance of Yahweh O those [who] say who? will he come down on us and who? will he come in hiding places our.
14 Nakopesa yo etumbu kolanda misala na yo, elobi Yawe, nakopelisa moto na zamba na yo, mpe ekotumba nyonso oyo ezali zingazinga na yo. › »
