Jeremi 28
1 Kaka na mobu wana, mobu ya minei, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na sanza ya mitano, mosakoli Anania, mwana mobali ya Azuri, moto ya mboka Gabaoni, alobaki na ngai kati na Tempelo ya Yawe na miso ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya bato nyonso:
And it came to pass in the same year, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah the king of Judah, in the fourth year, in the fifth month, that there said unto me Chananyah the son of 'Azzur the prophet, who was from Gib'on, in the house of the Lord, before the eyes of the priests, and of all the people, as followeth,
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakobuka ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, I have broken the yoke of the king of Babylon;
3 Etikali kaka mibu mibale; nakozongisa na esika oyo bisalelo nyonso ya Tempelo ya Yawe, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, azwaki na esika oyo mpe amemaki na Babiloni.
Within yet two years' time will I cause to be brought back unto this place all the vessels of the house of the Lord, which Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon hath taken away from this place, and which he hath carried to Babylon:
4 Nakozongisa lisusu na esika oyo: Yekonia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe bato nyonso oyo, wuta na Yuda, bakendeki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, › elobi Yawe, ‹ pamba te nakobuka ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni. › »
And Jechonyah the son of Jehoyakim the king of Judah, and all the exiles of Judah that are gone to Babylon, will I cause to return to this place, saith the Lord; for I will break the yoke of the king of Babylon.
5 Bongo Mosakoli Jeremi azongiselaki mosakoli Anania eyano na miso ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya bato nyonso oyo batelemaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet before the eyes of the priests, and before the eyes of all the people that stood in the house of the Lord,
6 Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki: « Amen! Tika ete Yawe asala bongo! Tika ete Yawe akokisa maloba oyo osili kosakola, azongisa na esika oyo, wuta na Babiloni, bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bato nyonso oyo bakendeki na bowumbu!
Yea, then said Jeremiah the prophet, Amen, may the Lord do so: may the Lord fulfill thy words which thou hast prophesied, to cause the vessels of the Lord's house, and all that have been carried into exile, to be brought back from Babylon unto this place.
7 Nzokande, yoka maloba oyo nalingi koloba na yo mpe na bato nyonso:
Nevertheless hear thou now this word which I speak before thy ears, and before the ears of all the people:
8 Wuta kala, basakoli oyo basakolaki liboso ete yo mpe ngai tozala, basakolaki bitumba, pasi mpe bokono oyo ebomaka, mpo na kotelemela bikolo ebele mpe mikili ya makasi;
The prophets that have been before me and before thee from olden times prophesied both concerning many countries, and against great kingdoms, respecting war, and respecting evil, and respecting pestilence.
9 kasi soki mosakoli asakoli kimia, akondimama ete azali solo mosakoli oyo Yawe atindi masakoli na ye ekokisami. »
The prophet who prophesieth of peace, when the word of the prophet doth come to pass, then shall the prophet be known, [as the one] whom the Lord hath sent in truth.
10 Bongo mosakoli Anania alongolaki ekangiseli na kingo ya mosakoli Jeremi mpe abukaki yango.
Then took Chananyah the prophet the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, and broke it.
11 Anania alobaki liboso ya bato nyonso: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Liboso ete mibu mibale ekoka, nakobuka ndenge wana ekangiseli ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, na kingo ya bikolo nyonso. › » Mpe mosakoli Jeremi akendeki na ye.
And Chananyah said before the eyes of all the people, as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Even so will I break the yoke of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon within two years' time from the neck of all the nations. And Jeremiah the prophet went his way.
12 Sima na mosakoli Anania kobuka ekangiseli na kingo ya mosakoli Jeremi, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
Then came the word of the Lord unto Jeremiah, after Chananyah the prophet had broken the yoke-bar from off the neck of Jeremiah the prophet, saying,
13 « Kende koloba na Anania: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Solo, obuki ekangiseli ya banzete; kasi na esika na yango, okolata nde ekangiseli ya ebende.
Go and say unto Chananyah as followeth, Thus hath said the Lord, Yoke-bars of wood hast thou broken; but thou shalt make in their stead yoke-bars of iron.
14 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nasili kotia ekangiseli ya ebende na kingo ya bikolo nyonso mpo ete esalela Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe ekosalela ye solo. Nakopesa ye bokonzi ata likolo ya banyama ya zamba. › »
For thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, A yoke of iron have I placed upon the neck of all these nations, that they may serve Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon; and they shall work for him: and also the beasts of the field have I given him.
15 Bongo mosakoli Jeremi alobaki lisusu na mosakoli Anania: « Anania, yoka! Yawe atindi yo te; mpe ozali kotindika bato oyo na kotia motema na makambo ya lokuta!
Then said Jeremiah the prophet unto Chananyah the prophet, Hear now, Chananyah, The Lord did not send thee; but thou hast caused this people to trust on a falsehood.
16 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Nakolongola yo na mokili oyo, okokufa kaka na mobu oyo; pamba te otindiki bato na kotombokela Yawe. › »
Therefore thus hath said the Lord, Behold, I will send thee away from off the face of the earth: this year shalt thou die, because thou hast spoken rebellion against the Lord.
17 Kaka na mobu wana, na sanza ya sambo, mosakoli Anania akufaki.
So Chananyah the prophet died in that same year, in the seventh month.
