< Jeremi 30 >

1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
CONCERNING THE SONS OF AMMON thus says the Lord, Are there no sons in Israel? or have they no one to succeed [them]? therefore has Melchol inherited Galaad, and why shall their people dwell in their cities?
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Koma kati na buku makambo nyonso oyo nayebisaki yo.
Therefore, behold, the days come, says the Lord, when I will cause to be heard in Rabbath a tumult of wars; and they shall become a waste and ruined place, and her altars shall be burned with fire; then shall Israel succeed to his dominion.
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. »
Howl, O Esebon, for Gai has perished; cry, you daughters of Rabbath, gird yourselves with sackcloth, and lament; for Melchol shall go into banishment, his priests and his princes together.
4 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na tina na Isalaele mpe Yuda:
Why do you exult in the plains of the Enakim, you haughty daughter, that trust in [your] treasures, that say, Who shall come in to me?
5 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Koganga ya kobanga mpe ya somo nde ezali koyokana; kimia ezali lisusu te.
Behold, I [will] bring terror upon you, says the Lord, from all the country round about you; and you shall be scattered every one right before him, and there is none to gather you.
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?
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.
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.
9 Nzokande, bakosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe Davidi, mokonzi oyo nakotia mpo ete akamba bango.
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.
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. ›
12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Pota na yo ekobika te mpe pasi na yo ekosila te.
13 Moto akolobela yo akozala te, kisi ezali te mpo na pota na yo, lobiko ezali te mpo na yo.
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.
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.
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.
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; ›
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.
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.
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.
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.
22 ‹ Boye, bokozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bino. › »
23 Tala, mopepe ya Yawe etomboki, kanda makasi na Ye epeli, bakake ezali konguluma na likolo, mpe ezali kokweya na mito ya bato mabe.
CONCERNING DAMASCUS. Emath is brought to shame, and Arphath: for they have heard an evil report: they are amazed, they are angry, they shall be utterly unable to rest.
24 Kanda makasi ya Yawe ekozonga te kino tango ekokokisa mabongisi ya motema na Ye. Bokososola yango penza na mikolo ekoya.
Damascus is utterly weakened, she is put to flight; trembling has seized upon her.
How has she not left my city, they have loved the village?
Therefore shall the young men fall in your streets, and all your warriors shall fall, says the Lord.
And I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, and it shall devour the streets of the son of Ader.
CONCERNING KEDAR THE QUEEN OF THE PALACE, WHOM NABUCHODONOSOR KING OF BABYLON SMOTE, thus says the Lord; Arise you, and go up to Kedar, and fill the sons of Kedem.
They shall take their tents and their sheep, they shall take for themselves their garments, and all their baggage and their camels; and summon you destruction against them from every side.
Flee you, dig very deep for a dwelling-place, you that dwell in the palace; for the king of Babylon has framed a counsel, and devised a device against you.
Rise up, and go up against a nation settled [and] dwelling at ease, who have no doors, nor bolts, nor bars, [who] dwell alone.
And their camels shall be a spoil, and the multitude of their cattle shall be destroyed: and I will scatter them as chaff with every wind, having their hair cut about their foreheads, I will bring on their overthrow from all sides, says the Lord.
And the palace shall be a resting-place for ostriches, and desolate for ever: no man shall abide there, and no son of man shall dwell there.
