< Jeremi 30 >

1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
This is the word that came to Jeremias from the Lord, saying:
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Koma kati na buku makambo nyonso oyo nayebisaki yo.
Thus saith the Lord, the God of Israel, saying: Write thee all the words that I have spoken to thee, in a book.
3 Tango ezali koya, › elobi Yawe, ‹ tango oyo nakokangola bato na Ngai, Isalaele, mpe Yuda kati na bowumbu; mpe nakozongisa bango na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bakoko na bango mpo ete bakamata yango, › elobi Yawe. »
For behold the days come, saith the Lord, and I will bring again the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, saith the Lord: and I will cause them to return to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall possess it.
4 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na tina na Isalaele mpe Yuda:
And these are the words that the Lord hath spoken to Israel and to Juda:
5 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Koganga ya kobanga mpe ya somo nde ezali koyokana; kimia ezali lisusu te.
For thus saith the Lord: We have heard a voice of terror: there is fear and no peace.
6 Botuna mpe botala: Boni, mobali akoki kobota bana? Bongo mpo na nini nazali komona moto nyonso ya makasi asimbi libumu na ye lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota mpe elongi na ye ekomi mawa-mawa?
Ask ye, and see if a man bear children? why then have I seen every man with his hands on his loins, like a woman in labour, and all faces are turned yellow?
7 Mawa! Ekozala penza mokolo ya somo! Mokolo moko te ekokokana na yango! Ekozala tango ya pasi mpo na Jakobi, kasi akobikisama na pasi yango.
Alas, for that day is great, neither is there the like to it; and it Is the time of tribulation to Jacob, but he shall be saved out of it.
8 Na mokolo wana, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, ‹ nakobuka ekangiseli na bakingo na bango, nakokata basinga oyo bakangelaki bango mpe bakozala lisusu te bawumbu ya bapaya.
And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord of hosts, that I will break his yoke from off thy neck, and will burst his bands: and strangers shall no more rule over him:
9 Nzokande, bakosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe Davidi, mokonzi oyo nakotia mpo ete akamba bango.
But they shall serve the Lord their God, and David their king, whom I will raise up to them.
10 Oh Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, kobanga te! Oh Isalaele, kozala na somo te, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Solo, nakobikisa yo wuta na mokili ya mosika, mpe bakitani na yo, wuta na mokili ya bowumbu! Jakobi akozwa lisusu kimia mpe bopemi, mpe moto moko te akobangisa ye lisusu.
Therefore fear thou not, my servant Jacob, saith the Lord, neither be dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from a country afar off, and thy seed from the land of their captivity: and Jacob shall return, and be at rest, and abound with all good things, and there shall be none whom he may fear:
11 Nazali elongo na yo mpe nakobikisa yo, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Ata nakobebisa nye bikolo nyonso epai wapi napanzaki bino; kasi bino, nakobebisa bino nye te; solo, nakopesa bino etumbu, kasi ekozala na ndenge ya bosembo; nakozanga te kopamela bino. ›
For I am with thee, saith the Lord, to save thee: for I will utterly consume all the nations, among which I have scattered thee: but I will not utterly consume thee: but I will chastise thee in judgment, that thou mayst not seem to thyself innocent.
12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Pota na yo ekobika te mpe pasi na yo ekosila te.
For thus saith the Lord: Thy bruise is incurable, thy wound is very grievous.
13 Moto akolobela yo akozala te, kisi ezali te mpo na pota na yo, lobiko ezali te mpo na yo.
There is none to judge thy judgment to bind it up: thou hast no healing medicines.
14 Baninga na yo nyonso babosani yo, bazali komitungisa lisusu te mpo na yo. Nabetaki yo penza ndenge monguna abetaka, napesaki yo penza etumbu na kanda makasi, pamba te ngambo na yo ezalaki monene mpe masumu na yo eleki ebele.
All thy lovers have forgotten thee, and will not seek after thee: for I have wounded thee with the wound of an enemy, with a cruel chastisement: by reason of the multitude of thy iniquities, thy sins are hardened.
15 Mpo na nini ozali koganga mpo na pota na yo, mpe pasi na yo ezali kosila te? Nasali yo boye mpo ete ngambo na yo ezali monene, mpe masumu na yo eleki ebele.
Why criest thou for thy affliction? thy sorrow is incurable: for the multitude of thy iniquity, and for thy hardened sins I have done these things to thee.
16 Kasi bato nyonso oyo bakosala yo mabe, bakosala bango mpe mabe; banguna na yo nyonso bakokende na bowumbu; bato oyo babotolaki yo biloko, bakobotola bango mpe biloko; bato oyo banyokolaki yo, bakonyokola mpe bango.
Therefore all they that devour thee shall be devoured: and all thy enemies shall be carried into captivity: and they that waste thee shall be wasted, and all that prey upon thee will I give for a prey.
17 Nakozongisela yo bomengo na yo mpe nakobikisa bapota na yo, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Lokola bazalaki kobenga yo ekolo basundola, Siona oyo moto moko te ayokelaka mawa; ›
For I will close up thy scar, and will heal thee of thy wounds, saith the Lord. Because they have called thee, O Sion, an outcast: This is she that hath none to seek after her.
18 tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Nakozongisa lisusu bomengo kati na bandako ya kapo ya Jakobi mpe nakoyokela bandako na ye mawa; bakotonga lisusu engumba Siona oyo ebukana-bukana mpe ndako ya mokonzi, na esika na yango ya kala.
Thus saith the Lord: Behold I bring back the captivity of the pavilions of Jacob, and will have pity on his houses, and the city shall be built in her place, and the temple shall be found according to the order thereof.
19 Nzembo ya matondi mpe mingongo ya esengo ekobima kati na bango. Nakokomisa bango ebele, mpe motango na bango ekokoma ebele; nakopesa bango lokumu, mpe bakotiolama lisusu te.
And out of them shall come forth praise, and the voice of them that play: and I will multiply them, and they shall not be made few: and I will glorify them, and they shall not be lessened.
20 Bana na bango ya mibali bakozala lokola na tango ya kala, mpe lingomba na bango ekowumela liboso na Ngai; nakopesa etumbu na bato nyonso oyo bazali konyokola bango.
And their children shall be as from the beginning, and their assembly be permanent before me: and I will against all that afflict them.
21 Mokonzi na bango akowuta kati na bango, mpe mokambi na bango akowuta kaka kati na bango; nakobenda bango pene na Ngai mpe bakoya pene na Ngai, pamba te nani azali na nguya ya kopusana pene na Ngai? › elobi Yawe.
And their leader shall be of themselves: and their prince shall come forth from the midst of them: and I will bring him near, and he shall come to me: for who is this that setteth his heart to approach to me, saith the Lord?
22 ‹ Boye, bokozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bino. › »
And you shall be my people: and I will be your God.
23 Tala, mopepe ya Yawe etomboki, kanda makasi na Ye epeli, bakake ezali konguluma na likolo, mpe ezali kokweya na mito ya bato mabe.
Behold the whirlwind of the Lord, his fury going forth, a violent storm, it shall rest upon the head of the wicked.
24 Kanda makasi ya Yawe ekozonga te kino tango ekokokisa mabongisi ya motema na Ye. Bokososola yango penza na mikolo ekoya.
The Lord will not turn away the wrath of his indignation, till he have executed and performed the thought o his heart: in the latter days you shall understand these things.
