Jeremi 31
1 « Na tango wana, » elobi Yawe, « Ngai nakozala Nzambe ya bituka nyonso ya Isalaele, mpe bango bakozala bato na Ngai. »
At the same time, saith the Lord, will I be the God of all the families of Israel, and they shall be my people.
2 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Bato oyo bakobika na mopanga bakozwa ngolu kati na esobe; boye, nakoya kopesa Isalaele bopemi. »
Thus saith the Lord, The people which escaped the sworde, founde grace in the wildernes: he walked before Israel to cause him to rest.
3 Yawe abimelaki biso na kala, alobaki: « Nalingaka bino na bolingo ya seko; yango wana nabendaka bino epai na Ngai na nzela ya bolingo.
The Lord hath appeared vnto me of old, say they: Yea, I haue loued thee with an euerlasting loue, therefore with mercie I haue drawen thee.
4 Nakobongisa bino lisusu; oh Isalaele, mboka kitoko, okotongama lisusu. Okolata lisusu mbunda na yo ya mike mpe okobina mabina ya esengo.
Againe I will builde thee, and thou shalt be builded, O virgine Israel: thou shalt stil be adorned with thy timbrels, and shalt goe foorth in the dance of them that be ioyfull.
5 Okolona lisusu bilanga ya vino na bangomba ya Samari; bato oyo bakolona yango bakosepela tango bakobuka mbuma na yango.
Thou shalt yet plant vines vpon the mountaines of Samaria, and the planters that plant them, shall make them common.
6 Ekozala mokolo oyo bakengeli bakoganga na bangomba ya Efrayimi: ‹ Boya! Tika ete tokende na Siona, epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso! › »
For the dayes shall come that the watchmen vpon the mount of Ephraim shall cry, Arise, and let vs go vp vnto Zion to the Lord our God.
7 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boyemba na esengo mpo na Jakobi, boganga na esengo mpo na ekolo ya liboso kati na bikolo nyonso! Batatola, bosanzola mpe boloba: ‹ Oh Yawe, bikisa bato na Yo, bato ya Isalaele oyo batikali. ›
For thus saith the Lord, Reioyce with gladnesse for Iaakob, and shoute for ioye among the chiefe of the Gentiles: publish praise, and say, O Lord, saue thy people, the remnant of Israel.
8 Tala, nakozongisa bango wuta na mokili ya nor mpe nakosangisa bango wuta na basuka ya mokili. Kati na bango, ekozala na bakufi miso mpe bakakatani, basi ya zemi mpe basi oyo bazali na pasi ya kobota; bato ebele penza bakozonga.
Beholde, I will bring them from the North countrey, and gather them from the coastes of the world, with the blinde and the lame among them, with the woman with childe, and her that is deliuered also: a great companie shall returne hither.
9 Bakendeki na kolela, kasi nakozongisa bango, wana bakozala kati na kobondela; nakokamba bango na bisika oyo mayi etiolaka, na nzela esembolama mpo ete babeta mabaku te; pamba te nazali Tata ya Isalaele, mpe Efrayimi azali mwana na Ngai ya liboso.
They shall come weeping, and with mercie will I bring them againe: I will lead them by the riuers of water in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my first borne.
10 Oh bino bikolo, boyoka Liloba na Yawe, botatola yango na bisanga ya mosika! Boloba: ‹ Ye oyo apanzaki Isalaele akosangisa bango mpe akobatela bango ndenge mobateli bibwele abatelaka etonga na ye.
Heare the worde of the Lord, O ye Gentiles, and declare in the yles afarre off, and say, Hee that scattered Israel, wil gather him and wil keepe him, as a shepheard doeth his flocke.
11 Mpo ete Yawe akokangola Jakobi mpe akobikisa bango na maboko ya bato oyo baleki bango na makasi.
For the Lord hath redeemed Iaakob, and ransomed him from the hande of him, that was stronger then he.
12 Bakozonga na koganga ya esengo na bangomba ya Siona; bakosepela na bomengo ya Yawe: ble, vino ya sika mpe mafuta, bameme mpe bangombe. Bakokoma lokola elanga ya kitoko oyo basopela mayi, mpe bakozala lisusu na mawa te.
Therefore they shall come, and reioyce in the height of Zion, and shall runne to the bountifulnes of the Lord, euen for the wheat and for the wine, and for the oyle, and for the increase of sheepe, and bullocks: and their soule shalbe as a watered garden, and they shall haue no more sorow.
13 Bilenge basi bakobina na esengo elongo na bilenge mibali mpe mibange. Nakobongola matanga na bango na esengo, nakopesa bango kobondisama mpe esengo na esika ya mawa.
Then shall ye virgine reioyce in the dance, and the yong men and the old men together: for I wil turne their mourning into ioy, and wil comfort them, and giue them ioy for their sorowes.
14 Nakoleisa malamu Banganga-Nzambe na mafuta ya bibwele, mpe bato na Ngai bakotonda na biloko na Ngai, › » elobi Yawe.
And I wil replenish the soule of the Priests with fatnesse, and my people shalbe satisfied with my goodnesse, saith the Lord.
15 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mongongo moko ezali koyokana na Rama, ezali mongongo ya mawa mpe ya kolela makasi: Rasheli azali kolela bana na ye ya mibali mpe aboyi kobondisama, pamba te bana na ye ya mibali bazali lisusu na bomoi te. »
Thus saith the Lord, A voyce was heard on hie, a mourning and bitter weeping. Rahel weeping for her children, refused to be comforted for her children, because they were not.
16 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tika kolela mpe kobimisa mpinzoli, pamba te mosala na yo ezali na litomba, » elobi Yawe, « bana na yo ya mibali bakozonga wuta na mokili ya banguna.
Thus saith the Lord, Refraine thy voyce from weeping, and thine eyes from teares: for thy worke shalbe rewarded, saith the Lord, and they shall come againe from the land of the enemie:
17 Elikya ezali mpo na bomoi na yo ya lobi, » elobi Yawe, « bana na yo bakozonga na mokili na bango.
And there is hope in thine ende, saith the Lord, that thy children shall come againe to their owne borders.
18 Nayoki kolelalela ya Efrayimi: ‹ Opesi ngai etumbu lokola mwana ngombe ya mobali oyo ezali na liboma, mpe etumbu yango ekweyelaki ngai. Zongisa ngai, mpe nakozonga, pamba te ozali Yawe, Nzambe na ngai.
I haue heard Ephraim lamenting thus, Thou hast corrected me, and I was chastised as an vntamed calfe: conuert thou me, and I shalbe conuerted: for thou art the Lord my God.
19 Nabungaki nzela, kasi nabongoli motema; sik’oyo nasili kososola, nazali kobeta tolo na pasi na motema. Nayokisamaki soni mpe nasambwaki, pamba te namemaki bozoba ya bolenge na ngai. ›
Surely after that I conuerted, I repented: and after that I was instructed, I smote vpon my thigh: I was ashamed, yea, euen confounded, because I did beare the reproch of my youth.
20 Efrayimi azali penza mwana na Ngai ya bolingo, mwana oyo nasepelaka na ye mingi te. Nzokande napamelaka ye tango nyonso, mpe nakanisaka ye tango nyonso. Yango wana, motema na Ngai esepelaka na ye, mpe nayokelaka ye mawa, » elobi Yawe.
Is Ephraim my deare sonne or pleasant childe? yet since I spake vnto him, I still remembred him: therefore my bowels are troubled for him: I wil surely haue compassion vpon him, saith the Lord.
21 « Tia bilembo na nzela, pika makonzi oyo elakisaka nzela na nzela yango; sala penza keba na nzela na yo, na nzela oyo ozali kolanda. Oh Isalaele, mboka kitoko, zonga, zonga na bingumba na yo!
Set thee vp signes: make thee heapes: set thine heart towarde the path and way, that thou hast walked: turne againe, O virgine of Israel: turne againe to these thy cities.
22 Oh elenge mwasi ya mobulu, kino tango nini okotika kotambola-tambola? Yawe akosala likambo ya sika na mabele: mwana mwasi akoluka mwana mobali na bolingo. »
How long wilt thou goe astray, O thou rebellious daughter? for the Lord hath created a newe thing in the earth: A WOMAN shall compasse a man.
23 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Tango nakobimisa bango na bowumbu, tala lisusu maloba oyo bato bakoloba kati na Yuda mpe kati na bingumba na yango: ‹ Oh ndako ya bosembo; oh ngomba ya bule, tika ete Yawe apambola yo! ›
Thus saith the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Yet shall they say this thing in the land of Iudah, and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring againe their captiuitie, The Lord blesse thee, O habitation of iustice and holy mountaine.
24 Bato bakokoma kovanda elongo kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na bingumba na yango nyonso: basali bilanga mpe babokoli bibwele.
And Iudah shall dwell in it, and all the cities thereof together, the husbandmen and they that goe foorth with the flocke.
25 Nakozongisa makasi ya bato oyo balembi na posa ya mayi, mpe nakoleisa bato oyo balembi na nzala. »
For I haue saciate the wearie soule, and I haue replenished euery sorowfull soule.
26 Boye, tango nalamukaki, natalaki pene na ngai; nasosolaki ete pongi na ngai ezalaki elengi.
Therefore I awaked and behelde, and my sleepe was sweete vnto me.
27 « Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakolona bato mpe banyama lokola milona kati na bokonzi ya Isalaele mpe kati na bokonzi ya Yuda.
Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will sowe the house of Israel, and the house of Iudah with the seede of man and with the seede of beast.
28 Ndenge nazalaki kosenzela bango mpo na kopikola mpe kobuka, kobebisa, kopanza mpe kosala bango mabe, ndenge wana mpe nakosenzela bango mpo na kotonga mpe kolona, » elobi Yawe;
And like as I haue watched vpon them, to plucke vp and to roote out, and to throw downe, and to destroy, and to plague them, so wil I watch ouer them, to build and to plant them, saith ye Lord.
29 « na mikolo wana, bato bakoloba lisusu te: ‹ Batata balie mbuma ya vino ya mobesu, mpe minu ya bana na bango ekomi ngayi. ›
In those dayes shall they say no more, The fathers haue eaten a sowre grape, and the childrens teeth are set on edge.
30 Na esika na yango, moto na moto akokufa mpo na masumu na ye moko; moto nyonso oyo alie mbuma ya vino ya mobesu, minu na ye moko nde ekokoma ngayi.
But euery one shall die for his owne iniquitie: euery man that eateth the sowre grape, his teeth shalbe set on edge.
31 Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala boyokani ya sika elongo na bato ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda;
Beholde, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that I will make a new couenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Iudah,
32 ekozala ndenge moko te na boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na batata na bango tango nasimbaki bango na loboko mpo na kobimisa bango na Ejipito; pamba te bakataki boyokani na Ngai wana, atako nazalaki Mobali ya libala mpo na bango, » elobi Yawe.
Not according to ye couenant that I made with their fathers, when I tooke them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt, the which my couenant they brake, although I was an husband vnto them, saith the Lord.
33 « Kasi tala boyokani oyo nakosala elongo na bato ya Isalaele, sima na mikolo wana, » elobi Yawe: « Nakotia mibeko na Ngai kati na makanisi na bango, nakokoma yango kati na mitema na bango, nakozala Nzambe na bango, mpe bango bakozala bato na Ngai.
But this shall be the couenant that I will make with the house of Israel, After those dayes, saith the Lord, I will put my Lawe in their inward partes, and write it in their hearts, and wil be their God, and they shalbe my people.
34 Moko te akoteya lisusu moninga na ye to ndeko na ye na koloba: ‹ Yeba Yawe! › Pamba te bango nyonso bakoyeba Ngai, kobanda na mwana moke kino na mokolo, » elobi Yawe, « nakolimbisa mabe na bango mpe nakokanisa lisusu masumu na bango te. »
And they shall teach no more euery man his neighbour and euery man his brother, saying, Know the Lord: for they shall all know me from the least of them vnto the greatest of them, saith the Lord: for I wil forgiue their iniquitie, and will remember their sinnes no more.
35 Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi, Ye oyo atia moyi mpo ete engengisa mokolo, apesa mibeko ete sanza mpe minzoto engengisa butu, aningisaka ebale monene mpo ete mbonge etia makelele, mpe oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga:
Thus saith the Lord, which giueth the sunne for a light to the day, and the courses of the moone and of the starres for a light to the night, which breaketh the sea, when the waues thereof roare: his Name is the Lord of hostes.
36 « Soki kaka bakoki solo kolongola malako oyo na miso na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « wana bana ya Isalaele mpe bakozala lisusu ekolo te na miso na ngai. »
If these ordinances depart out of my sight, saith the Lord, then shall the seede of Israel cease from being a nation before me, for euer.
37 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Soki kaka bakoki komeka molayi ya likolo mpe komona miboko ya mabele, wana nakobwaka bana nyonso ya Isalaele mpo na makambo nyonso oyo basali, » elobi Yawe.
Thus saith the Lord, If the heauens can be measured, or the fundations of the earth be searched out beneath, then wil I cast off all the seed of Israel, for all that they haue done, saith the Lord.
38 « Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « bakotonga lisusu engumba oyo mpo na Ngai, kobanda na ndako molayi ya Ananeyeli kino na Ekuke ya Suka ya mir;
Behold, the dayes come, saith the Lord, that the citie shalbe built to the Lord from the tower of Hananeel, vnto the gate of the corner.
39 bakotia singa ya batongi ndako longwa na esika wana kino na ngomba moke ya Garebi, mpe ekobaluka kino na Gowa.
And the line of the measure shall go foorth in his presence vpon the hil Gareb, and shall compasse about to Goath.
40 Bakobulisa mpo na Yawe lubwaku nyonso epai wapi babwakaki bibembe mpe putulu, mpe bilanga nyonso oyo ezali pene ya lubwaku ya Sedron, kino na songe ya Ekuke ya Bampunda, na ngambo ya este; bakotikala kobebisa to koboma lisusu engumba oyo te. »
And the whole valley of the dead bodies, and of the ashes, and all the fields vnto the brooke of Kidron, and vnto the corner of the horsegate toward the East, shalbe holy vnto the Lord, neither shall it be plucked vp nor destroyed any more for euer.
