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.
The word that came to Jeremias concerning all the people of Juda, in the fourth year of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, (the same is the first year of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, )
2 Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso ya Yuda mpe na bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi:
Which Jeremias the prophet spoke to all the people of Juda, and to all the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying:
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 Josias the son of Ammon king of Juda until this day: this is the three and twentieth year, the word of the Lord hath come to me, and I have spoken to you, rising before day, and speaking, and you have not hearkened.
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 hath sent to you all his servants the prophets, rising early, and sending, and you have not hearkened, nor inclined your ears 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.
When he said: Return ye, every one from his evil way, and from your wicked devices, and you shall dwell in the land which the Lord hath given to you, and your fathers for ever 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.
And go not after strange gods to serve them, and adore them: nor provoke me to wrath by the works of your hands, and I will not afflict you.
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. › »
And you have not heard me, saith the Lord, that you might provoke me to anger with the works of your hands, to your own hurt.
8 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Lokola boyokaki maloba na Ngai te,
Therefore thus saith the Lord of hosts: Because you have not heard 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 send, and take all the kindreds of the north, saith the Lord, and Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon my servant: and I will bring them against this land, and against the inhabitants thereof, and against all the nations that are round about it: and I will destroy them, and make them an astonishment and a hissing, and perpetual desolations.
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.
And I will take away from them the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride, the sound of the mill, 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 all this land shall be a desolation, and an astonishment: and all these nations shall serve the king of Babylon 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.
And when the seventy years shall be expired, I will punish the king of Babylon, and that nation, saith the Lord, for their iniquity, and the land of the Chaldeans: and I will make it perpetual desolations.
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.
And I will bring upon the land all my words, that I have spoken against it, all that is written in this book, all that Jeremias hath prophesied against all 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 they have served them, whereas they were many nations, and great kings: and I will repay them according to their deeds, and according to the works 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.
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Take the cup of wine of this fury at my hand: and thou shalt make all nations to drink thereof, unto which I shall send thee.
16 Tango bakomela yango, bakolangwa mpe bakokoma kotenga-tenga liboso ya mopanga oyo nakotinda kati na bango. »
And they shall drink, and be troubled, and be mad because of the sword, which I shall send among them.
17 Boye, nakamataki kopo yango na loboko ya Yawe mpe namelisaki yango bikolo nyonso epai wapi atindaki ngai:
And I took the cup at the hand of the Lord, and I presented it to all the nations to drink of it, to which the Lord 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 wit, Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, and the kings thereof, and the princes thereof: to make them a desolation, and an astonishment, and a hissing, and a curse, as it is at this day.
19 Namelisaki yango Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito; basali na ye, bakalaka na ye, bato na ye nyonso,
Pharao the king of Egypt, and his servants, and his princes, 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;
And all in general: all the kings of the land of Ausitis, and all the kings of the land of the Philistines, and Ascalon, and Gaza, and Accaron, and the remnant of Azotus.
21 Edomi, Moabi, bato ya Amoni;
And Edom, and Moab, and the children of Ammon.
22 bakonzi nyonso ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni; bakonzi ya bisanga mpe ya bituka oyo ezalaka pene ya ebale monene;
And all the kings of Tyre, and all the kings of Sidon: and the kings of the land of the islands that are beyond the sea.
23 Dedani, Tema, Buzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bavandaka mosika mpe batikaka mandefu te;
And Dedan, and Thema, and Buz, and all that have their hair cut round.
24 bakonzi nyonso ya Arabi mpe bakonzi nyonso ya bikolo ya bapaya oyo bavandaka kati na esobe;
And all the kings of Arabia, and all the kings of the west, that dwell in the desert.
25 bakonzi nyonso ya Zimiri, ya Elami mpe ya Medi;
And all the kings of Zambri, and all the kings of Elam, and all the kings of Medes:
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.
And all the kings of the north far and near, every one against his brother: and all the kingdoms of the earth, which are upon the face thereof: and the king of Sesac shall drink after them.
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. ›
And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Drink ye, and be drunken, and vomit: and fall, and rise no more, because of the sword, which I shall 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!
And if they refuse to take the cup at thy hand to drink, thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Drinking you shall drink:
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 begin to bring evil on the city wherein my name is called upon: and shall you be as innocent and escape free? you shall not escape free: for I will call for the sword upon all the inhabitants of the earth, saith 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!
And thou shalt prophesy unto them all these words, and thou shalt say to them: The Lord shall roar from on high, and shall utter his voice from his holy habitation: roaring he shall roar upon the place of his beauty: the shout as it were of them that tread grapes shall be given out 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 noise is come even to the ends of the earth: for the Lord entereth into judgement with the nations: he entereth into judgement with all flesh; the wicked I have delivered up to the sword, saith the Lord.
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. »
Thus saith the Lord of hosts: Behold evil shall go forth from nation to nation: and a great whirlwind shall go forth 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.
And the slain of the Lord shall be at that day from one end of the earth even to the other end thereof: they shall not be lamented, and they shall not be gathered up, nor buried: they shall lie as dung upon the face of the earth.
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.
Howl, ye shepherds, and cry: and sprinkle yourselves with ashes, ye leaders of the flock: for the days of your slaughter and your dispersion are accomplished, and you shall fall like precious vessels.
35 Babateli bibwele bakozanga esika ya kokimela; bakambi ya bampate bakozanga esika ya kobombama.
And the shepherds shall have no way to flee, nor the leaders of the flock to save themselves.
36 Boyoka koganga ya babateli bibwele, kolela ya bakambi ya bampate, pamba te Yawe azali kobebisa bazamba epai wapi bibwele eliaka.
A voice of the cry of the shepherds, and a howling of the principal of the flock: because the Lord hath wasted their pastures.
37 Bitando ya kimia ekotikala pamba likolo ya kanda ya Yawe.
And the fields of peace have been silent, because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
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 forsaken his covert as the lion, for the land is laid waste because of the wrath of the dove, and because of the fierce anger of the Lord.
