Jeremi 25
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi na tina na bato nyonso ya Yuda, tango Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu minei na bokonzi, mpe Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, akokisaki mobu moko na bokonzi.
This is the word that came to Jeremiah concerning all the people of Judah in the fourth year of Jehoiakim son of Josiah king of Judah, which was the first year of Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon.
2 Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe na bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi:
So the prophet Jeremiah spoke to all the people of Judah and all the residents of Jerusalem as follows:
3 « Wuta tango Joziasi, mwana mobali ya Amoni, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na misato na bokonzi kino na mokolo ya lelo, ekokisi mibu tuku mibale na misato oyo nayebisaka bino tango na tango liloba oyo Yawe azalaki koloba na ngai, kasi boyokaki ngai te.
“From the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day—twenty-three years—the word of the LORD has come to me, and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened.
4 Mpe atako Yawe azalaki kotindela bino tango na tango basakoli, basali na Ye, kasi bosalaki kaka keba te mpo na koyoka liloba na Ye.
And the LORD has sent all His servants the prophets to you again and again, but you have not listened or inclined your ear to hear.
5 Bazalaki koloba na bino: ‹ Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino abongola motema, atika nzela mpe misala na ye ya mabe; pamba te ezali na nzela wana nde bokoki kowumela na mokili oyo Yawe apesaki bino mpe batata na bino, wuta kala, mpo na libela.
The prophets told you, ‘Turn now, each of you, from your evil ways and deeds, and you can dwell in the land that the LORD has given to you and your fathers forever and ever.
6 Bolanda banzambe mosusu te, bosalela mpe bofukamela yango te; bopelisa kanda na Ngai te na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko oyo maboko na bino esali, mpe Ngai nakomonisa bino pasi te.
Do not follow other gods to serve and worship them, and do not provoke Me to anger with the works of your hands. Then I will do you no harm.’
7 Kasi boyokaki Ngai te, › elobi Yawe, ‹ botumbolaki Ngai kutu na nzela ya banzambe ya bikeko, oyo maboko na bino esalaki, mpe bomibendelaki bino moko pasi. › »
‘But to your own harm, you have not listened to Me,’ declares the LORD, ‘so you have provoked Me to anger with the works of your hands.’
8 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Lokola boyokaki maloba na Ngai te,
Therefore this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘Because you have not obeyed My words,
9 nakobengisa bato nyonso ya bikolo ya nor mpe mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala ete babundisa mokili oyo, bavandi na yango mpe bikolo nyonso ya zingazinga. Nakobebisa bango penza mpe nakokomisa bango eloko ya somo mpe ya kotiola; boye bakotikala seko na seko libebi.
behold, I will summon all the families of the north, declares the LORD, and I will send for My servant Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, whom I will bring against this land, against its residents, and against all the surrounding nations. So I will devote them to destruction and make them an object of horror and contempt, an everlasting desolation.
10 Nakolongola kati na bango pole ya mwinda, banzembo ya esengo mpe kosepela, makelele ya bisengo ya libala ya sika mpe ya libanga oyo banikelaka ble.
Moreover, I will banish from them the sounds of joy and gladness, the voices of the bride and bridegroom, the sound of the millstones, and the light of the lamp.
11 Mokili oyo mobimba ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te; mpe bikolo oyo ekosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni mibu tuku sambo.
And this whole land will become a desolate wasteland, and these nations will serve the king of Babylon for seventy years.
12 Kasi soki mibu tuku sambo ekoki, nakopesa mokonzi ya Babiloni elongo na ekolo na ye mpe mokili ya bato ya Babiloni etumbu mpo na mabe oyo basalaki, » elobi Yawe, « mpe nakobebisa yango mpo na libela.
But when seventy years are complete, I will punish the king of Babylon and that nation, the land of the Chaldeans, for their guilt, declares the LORD, and I will make it an everlasting desolation.
13 Nakokokisa kati na mokili yango maloba nyonso oyo nalobaki mpo na kotelemela yango, maloba nyonso oyo ekomama kati na buku oyo, maloba oyo Jeremi asakolaki mpo na kotelemela bikolo nyonso.
I will bring upon that land all the words I have pronounced against it, all that is written in this book, which Jeremiah has prophesied against all the nations.
14 Bango, bato ya Babiloni, bakokoma mpe bawumbu ya bikolo ebele mpe ya bakonzi ya nguya; nakosalela bango kolanda etamboli mpe misala ya maboko na bango. »
For many nations and great kings will enslave them, and I will repay them according to their deeds and according to the work of their hands.’”
15 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobaki na ngai: « Kamata na loboko na Ngai kopo etonda na vino ya kanda na Ngai mpe melisa yango bikolo nyonso epai wapi nakotinda yo.
This is what the LORD, the God of Israel, said to me: “Take from My hand this cup of the wine of wrath, and make all the nations to whom I send you drink from it.
16 Tango bakomela yango, bakolangwa mpe bakokoma kotenga-tenga liboso ya mopanga oyo nakotinda kati na bango. »
And they will drink and stagger and go out of their minds, because of the sword that I will send among them.”
17 Boye, nakamataki kopo yango na loboko ya Yawe mpe namelisaki yango bikolo nyonso epai wapi atindaki ngai:
So I took the cup from the LORD’s hand and made all the nations drink from it, each one to whom the LORD had sent me,
18 Yelusalemi elongo na bingumba ya Yuda, bakonzi mpe bakalaka na yango; mpo na kobebisa yango, kokomisa yango eloko ya somo, ya maseki mpe ya lisuma, ndenge ezali komonana sik’oyo.
to make them a ruin, an object of horror and contempt and cursing, as they are to this day—Jerusalem and the cities of Judah, its kings and officials;
19 Namelisaki yango Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; basali na ye, bakalaka na ye, bato na ye nyonso,
Pharaoh king of Egypt, his officials, his leaders, and all his people;
20 bapaya nyonso oyo bavandaka kuna, bakonzi nyonso ya mokili ya Utsi; bakonzi nyonso ya mokili ya Filisitia, ya Ashikeloni, ya Gaza, ya Ekroni mpe ya bato oyo batikalaki na Asidodi;
all the mixed tribes; all the kings of Uz; all the kings of the Philistines: Ashkelon, Gaza, Ekron, and the remnant of Ashdod;
21 Edomi, Moabi, bato ya Amoni;
Edom, Moab, and the Ammonites;
22 bakonzi nyonso ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni; bakonzi ya bisanga mpe ya bituka oyo ezalaka pene ya ebale monene;
all the kings of Tyre and Sidon; the kings of the coastlands across the sea;
23 Dedani, Tema, Buzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bavandaka mosika mpe batikaka mandefu te;
Dedan, Tema, Buz, and all who cut the corners of their hair;
24 bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi mpe bakonzi nyonso ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bavandaka kati na esobe;
all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the mixed tribes who dwell in the desert;
25 bakonzi nyonso ya Zimiri, ya Elami mpe ya Medi;
all the kings of Zimri, Elam, and Media;
26 bakonzi nyonso ya nor, oyo bazalaka pene mpe ba-oyo bazalaka mosika, moko pene na mosusu, bakonzi ya mboka nyonso oyo ezalaka na mokili. Sima na bango nyonso, mokonzi ya Sheshaki mpe akomela yango.
all the kings of the north, both near and far, one after another—all the kingdoms on the face of the earth. And after all of them, the king of Sheshach will drink it too.
27 « Boye loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bomela, bolangwa mpe bosanza, bokweya mpo na kotelema lisusu te, mpo na mopanga oyo nakotinda kati na bino. ›
“Then you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts, the God of Israel, says: ‘Drink, get drunk, and vomit. Fall down and never get up again, because of the sword I will send among you.’
28 Soki baboyi kozwa mpe komela kopo oyo ezali na loboko na yo, okoloba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: Bomela! Bomela!
If they refuse to take the cup from your hand and drink it, you are to tell them that this is what the LORD of Hosts says: ‘You most certainly must drink it!
29 Pamba te, botala! Ezali na engumba epai wapi babelelaka Kombo na Ngai nde nabandi kotinda pasi; boni, bokanisi ete bino bokozwa etumbu te? Bokozanga te kozwa etumbu, pamba te nazali koyeisa mopanga kati na bavandi nyonso ya mokili, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. ›
For behold, I am beginning to bring disaster on the city that bears My Name, so how could you possibly go unpunished? You will not go unpunished, for I am calling down a sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, declares the LORD of Hosts.’
30 Sakola maloba oyo nyonso mpo na kotelemela bango mpe loba na bango: ‹ Yawe azali koganga wuta na likolo, azali kotomboka lokola kake wuta na Esika na Ye ya bule, azali konguluma makasi mpo na kotelemela mokili na Ye! Akoganga lokola bato oyo bakamolaka mbuma ya vino, akogangela bavandi nyonso ya mokili oyo!
So you are to prophesy all these words against them and say to them: ‘The LORD will roar from on high; He will raise His voice from His holy habitation. He will roar loudly over His pasture; like those who tread the grapes, He will call out with a shout against all the inhabitants of the earth.
31 Makelele ya makasi ekoyokana kino na suka ya mokili; pamba te Yawe akosambisa bikolo, akosambisa bato nyonso, akobomisa bato mabe na mopanga, › » elobi Yawe.
The tumult will resound to the ends of the earth because the LORD brings a charge against the nations. He brings judgment on all mankind and puts the wicked to the sword,’”
32 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala! Pasi ezali kopanzana longwa na ekolo moko kino na ekolo mosusu; mopepe makasi etelemi longwa na basuka ya mokili. »
This is what the LORD of Hosts says: “Behold! Disaster is spreading from nation to nation; a mighty storm is rising from the ends of the earth.”
33 Na tango wana, bato oyo Yawe akoboma bakozala bisika nyonso, longwa na songe moko kino na songe mosusu ya mokili. Bakosalela bango matanga te, bakosangisa bango te mpo na kokunda bango.
Those slain by the LORD on that day will be spread from one end of the earth to the other. They will not be mourned, gathered, or buried. They will be like dung lying on the ground.
34 Bino babateli bibwele, bolela mpe boganga! Bino bakambi ya bitonga, bobaluka-baluka na putulu! Pamba te tango na bino ya kokufa ekoki! Bokokweya mpe bokopanzana mike-mike lokola mbeki.
Wail, you shepherds, and cry out; roll in the dust, you leaders of the flock. For the days of your slaughter have come; you will fall and be shattered like fine pottery.
35 Babateli bibwele bakozanga esika ya kokimela; bakambi ya bampate bakozanga esika ya kobombama.
Flight will evade the shepherds, and escape will elude the leaders of the flock.
36 Boyoka koganga ya babateli bibwele, kolela ya bakambi ya bampate, pamba te Yawe azali kobebisa bazamba epai wapi bibwele eliaka.
Hear the cry of the shepherds, the wailing of the leaders of the flock, for the LORD is destroying their pasture.
37 Bitando ya kimia ekotikala pamba likolo ya kanda ya Yawe.
The peaceful meadows have been silenced because of the LORD’s burning anger.
38 Lokola nkosi etikaka ndako na yango, mokili na bango mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te likolo ya mopanga ya banyokoli na bango mpe likolo ya kanda ya Yawe.
He has left His den like a lion, for their land has been made a desolation by the sword of the oppressor, and because of the fierce anger of the LORD.
