Jeremi 30
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
Yahweh gave me another message. He said,
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Koma kati na buku makambo nyonso oyo nayebisaki yo.
“[I], Yahweh, the God whom the Israeli people [say they belong to], am telling you that you should write down everything that I have said to you.
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. »
[I want you to know that] some day I will free my people, [the people of] Israel and Judah, from being slaves [in Babylon]. I will bring them back to this land that I gave to their ancestors, and this land will belong to them again. [That will surely happen because] I, Yahweh, have said it.”
4 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na tina na Isalaele mpe Yuda:
Yahweh gave [to me] another message concerning [the people of] Israel and Judah.
5 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Koganga ya kobanga mpe ya somo nde ezali koyokana; kimia ezali lisusu te.
This is what he said: “I hear people screaming because they are terrified [DOU]; there is no peace [in the land].
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?
But think about this: Men certainly do not [RHQ] give birth to babies. Therefore, why do strong men stand there, with their faces very white/pale, with their hands pressed against their stomachs, like women who are about to give birth to babies?
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.
[Terrible things will soon happen]; that will be a terrible day! There has never been such a time. It will be a time when [my] Israeli people will experience great trouble, but [finally] they will be saved [from their sufferings].”
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.
The Commander of the armies of angels says this: “At that time [it will be as though] I will sever/cut the ropes [that are around my people], and I will free them from being (slaves/forced to do what the King of Babylon wants them to do) [MET]. People in other countries will no longer be their bosses.
9 Nzokande, bakosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe Davidi, mokonzi oyo nakotia mpo ete akamba bango.
My people will [again] serve me, Yahweh, their God, and [they will serve a king who is a descendant of] King David; [they will serve the king] whom I will appoint for 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.
So, [you people of] Israel who serve me, do not be dismayed/worried [now], because [some day] I will bring you back from distant places; I will bring your descendants [back home] from the land to which they were exiled. [Then you] Israeli people will [again] live peacefully and safely, and there will not be any [nation] that will cause you to be terrified.
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. ›
I, Yahweh, say that I will be with you and will rescue you; I will completely destroy the nations to which I have scattered you. But I will not completely destroy you. I will punish you [for your many sins], but I will punish you [only] as severely as you deserve: I would be doing wrong if I did not punish you at all.”
12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Pota na yo ekobika te mpe pasi na yo ekosila te.
Yahweh [also] says this: “[You have (suffered very much/endured many disasters)]; [it is as though] you have a terrible wound that cannot be cured.
13 Moto akolobela yo akozala te, kisi ezali te mpo na pota na yo, lobiko ezali te mpo na yo.
There is no one to help you, no one to put a bandage on your wound. There is no [medicine that will] heal you.
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 your allies [MET] have deserted you and they do not want to help you [any more]. [It is true that] I have punished you severely, [like your] enemies would wound you, because you have committed many sins and you are very guilty.
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.
[Because that is true], why do you protest about my punishing you, [as though I had caused] a wound that could not be cured [RHQ]? It was necessary for me to punish you, because you had committed many sins and you were very guilty.
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.
But [some day] all those who [are trying to] destroy you will be destroyed; all your enemies will be exiled [to other nations]. All those who have stolen things from you will have their [valuable] possessions stolen, and all those who attack you will be attacked.
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; ›
[Everyone] says that you are (outcasts/people that they no longer associate with), and that [you live in] Jerusalem, a city that no one cares about.” But Yahweh says, “I will heal your injuries/wounds and cause you to be healthy again.”
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.
This is what Yahweh says: “I will bring the people of Israel back from the lands to which they were taken and enable them to possess their land and their houses again. [When that happens], Jerusalem will be rebuilt on top of its ruins, and the [king’s] palace will be rebuilt to be like it was before.
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.
People will [again] sing joyfully to thank [me], and I will cause there to be more people [in Jerusalem], not fewer; I will cause them to be honored, not despised.
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.
Their children will [prosper] like they did before. I will cause them to be a group of people [who worship] me, and I will punish any [nation] that oppresses 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.
One of their own people will be their king, and I will invite him to come close to me [to worship me], because no one [RHQ] would (dare/have courage) to come close to me [if I did not invite him].
22 ‹ Boye, bokozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bino. › »
You [Israeli people] will 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.
Yahweh will punish [MTY] [your enemies]; [it will be like a great] storm; it will come down [like] a whirlwind, swirling around the heads of wicked people.
24 Kanda makasi ya Yawe ekozonga te kino tango ekokokisa mabongisi ya motema na Ye. Bokososola yango penza na mikolo ekoya.
He will not stop being angry until he completely accomplishes [all] that he has planned. In the future, you will understand [all] of this [clearly].
