Jeremi 27
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
In the beginning of the reign of Joakim the son of Josias king of Juda, this word came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
2 Tala liloba oyo Ngai Yawe nalobi: « Sala ekangiseli na basinga mpe banzete mpe kanga yango na kingo na yo.
Thus saith the Lord to me: Make thee bands, and chains: and thou shalt put them on thy neck.
3 Bongo tinda maloba epai ya bakonzi ya Edomi, ya Moabi, ya Amoni, ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni na nzela ya batindami oyo bayei na Yelusalemi mpo na kokutana na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda.
And thou shalt send them to the of Edom, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon: by the hand of the messengers that are come to Jerusalem to Sedecias the king of Juda.
4 Pesa bango sango oyo bakomemela bakonzi na bango mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‘Boyebisa bakonzi na bino maloba oyo:
And thou shalt command them to speak to their masters: Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Thus shall you say to your masters:
5 Ngai nde nasalaki mabele, nasalaki bato mpe banyama nyonso oyo bazali kati na yango, na nguya monene na Ngai mpe na loboko na Ngai oyo esembolama. Napesaka mabele yango epai ya moto nyonso oyo Ngai nalingi.
I made the earth, and the men, and the beasts that are upon the face of the earth, by my great power, and by my stretched out arm: and I have given it to whom it seemed good in my eyes.
6 Sik’oyo, Ngai, nakabi mikili oyo nyonso na maboko ya mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni; nakabi mpe na maboko na ye ata banyama ya zamba mpo ete etosa ye.
And now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon my servant: moreover also the beasts of the field I have given him to serve him.
7 Bikolo nyonso ekotosa ye, mwana na ye ya mobali mpe koko na ye, kino tango ya mokili na ye mpe ekokoka; bongo bikolo ebele mpe bakonzi ya nguya bakokonza ye.
And all nations shall serve him, and his son, and his son’s son: till the time come for his land and himself: and many nations and great kings shall serve him.
8 Soki ekolo moko to mokili moko eboyi kosalela Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, to eboyi komema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, nakopesa ekolo yango etumbu na nzela mopanga, ya nzala makasi mpe ya bokono oyo ebomaka, elobi Yawe, kino nakobebisa yango na nzela ya loboko na ye.
But the nation and kingdom that will not serve Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and whosoever will not bend his neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon: I will visit upon that nation with the sword, and with famine, and with pestilence, saith the Lord: till I consume them by his hand.
9 Boye, boyokela te basakoli na bino, bato na bino ya soloka, bato na bino oyo balimbolaka bandoto, bato na bino oyo basololaka na bakufi, oyo bazali koloba na bino ete bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni te.
Therefore hearken not to your prophets, and diviners, and dreamers, and soothsayers, and sorcerers, that say to you: You shall not serve the king Babylon.
10 Bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta, kaka mpo na komema bino mosika ya mokili na bino. Ngai nakobengana bino solo mpe bokokufa.
For they prophesy lies to you: to remove you far from your country, and east you out, and to make you perish.
11 Kasi soki ekolo moko endimi komema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe endimi kosalela ye, nakotika ekolo yango na kimia kati na mokili na bango mpo ete basala bilanga mpe bawumela kuna, elobi Yawe.’ › »
But the nation that shall bend down their neck under the yoke of the king Babylon, and shall serve him: Will let them remain in their own land, saith the Lord: and they shall till it, and dwell in it.
12 Bongo napesaki sango kaka wana epai ya Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: « Bomema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bosalela ye elongo na bato na ye, bongo bokobika!
And I spoke to Sedecias the king of Juda according to all these words, saying: Bend down your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, and his people, and you shall live.
13 Mpo na nini bino elongo na bato na bino bokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka ndenge Yawe akataki mpo na ekolo nyonso oyo ekoboya kosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni?
Why will you die, thou and thy people by the sword, and by famine, and by the pestilence, as the Lord hath spoken against the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
14 Boyoka te maloba ya basakoli oyo bazali koloba na bino: ‹ Bokosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni te! › Bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta.
Hearken not to the words of the prophets that say to you: You shall not serve the king of Babylon: for they tell you a lie.
15 Natindaki bango te, » elobi Yawe, « bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai. Nakobengana bino mpe bokokufa, bino mpe basakoli oyo bazali kosakola epai na bino. »
For I have not sent them, saith the Lord: and they prophesy in my name falsely: to drive you out, and that you may perish, both you, and the prophets that prophesy to you.
16 Bongo nalobaki na Banganga-Nzambe mpe na bato nyonso: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Boyoka te basakoli na bino, oyo bazali koloba: ‹ Tala, bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekozonga noki wuta na Babiloni. › Bazali koloba na bino makambo ya lokuta!
I spoke also to the priests, and to this people, saying: Thus saith the Lord: Hearken not to the words of your prophets, that prophesy to you, saying: Behold the vessels of the Lord shall now in a short time be brought again from Babylon: for they prophesy a lie unto you.
17 Boyoka bango te! Bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni, bongo bokobika! Mpo na nini engumba oyo ebebisama?
Therefore hearken not to them, but serve the king of Babylon, that you may live. Why should this city be given up to desolation?
18 Soki bazali solo basakoli mpe Liloba na Yawe ezali kati na bango, tika ete basambela Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpo ete bisalelo oyo etikalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi ekende na Babiloni te.
But if they be prophets, and the word of the Lord be in them: let them interpose themselves before the Lord of hosts, that the vessels which were left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda, and in Jerusalem, may not go to Babylon.
19 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi na tina na makonzi, nzungu ya monene ya bronze, bivandelo na yango mpe bisalelo mosusu oyo etikalaki kati na engumba wana,
For thus saith the Lord of hosts to the pillars, and to the sea, and to the bases, and to the rest of the vessels that remain in this city:
20 bisalelo oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atikaki tango amemaki Yekonia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na bowumbu longwa na Yelusalemi kino na Babiloni, elongo na bankumu nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi;
Which Nabuchodonosor the king of Babylon did not take, when he carried away Jechonias the son of Joakim the king of Juda, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the great men of Juda and Jerusalem.
21 tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na biloko oyo etikalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi:
For thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, to the vessels that are left in the house of the Lord, and in the house of the king of Juda and Jerusalem:
22 ‹ Bakomema yango na Babiloni, mpe ekotikala kuna kino na mokolo oyo nakolandela yango, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nakolongola yango mpe nakozongisa yango na esika oyo, elobi Yawe. › »
They shall be carried to Babylon, and there they shall be until the day of their visitation, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to be brought, and to be restored in this place.
