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, says 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 says the LORD, The people which were left of the sword found grace in the wilderness; even Israel, when I went 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 has appeared of old to me, saying, Yes, I have loved you with an everlasting love: therefore with loving kindness have I drawn you.
4 Nakobongisa bino lisusu; oh Isalaele, mboka kitoko, okotongama lisusu. Okolata lisusu mbunda na yo ya mike mpe okobina mabina ya esengo.
Again I will build you, and you shall be built, O virgin of Israel: you shall again be adorned with your tabrets, and shall go forth in the dances of them that make merry.
5 Okolona lisusu bilanga ya vino na bangomba ya Samari; bato oyo bakolona yango bakosepela tango bakobuka mbuma na yango.
You shall yet plant vines on the mountains of Samaria: the planters shall plant, and shall eat them as common things.
6 Ekozala mokolo oyo bakengeli bakoganga na bangomba ya Efrayimi: ‹ Boya! Tika ete tokende na Siona, epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso! › »
For there shall be a day, that the watchmen on the mount Ephraim shall cry, Arise you, and let us go up to 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 says the LORD; Sing with gladness for Jacob, and shout among the chief of the nations: publish you, praise you, and say, O LORD, save your 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.
Behold, I will bring them from the north country, and gather them from the coasts of the earth, and with them the blind and the lame, the woman with child and her that travails with child together: a great company shall return thither.
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 with weeping, and with supplications will I lead them: I will cause them to walk by the rivers of waters in a straight way, wherein they shall not stumble: for I am a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my firstborn.
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.
Hear the word of the LORD, O you nations, and declare it in the isles afar off, and say, He that scattered Israel will gather him, and keep him, as a shepherd does his flock.
11 Mpo ete Yawe akokangola Jakobi mpe akobikisa bango na maboko ya bato oyo baleki bango na makasi.
For the LORD has redeemed Jacob, and ransomed him from the hand of him that was stronger than 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 sing in the height of Zion, and shall flow together to the goodness of the LORD, for wheat, and for wine, and for oil, and for the young of the flock and of the herd: and their soul shall be as a watered garden; and they shall not sorrow any more at all.
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 the virgin rejoice in the dance, both young men and old together: for I will turn their mourning into joy, and will comfort them, and make them rejoice from their sorrow.
14 Nakoleisa malamu Banganga-Nzambe na mafuta ya bibwele, mpe bato na Ngai bakotonda na biloko na Ngai, › » elobi Yawe.
And I will satiate the soul of the priests with fatness, and my people shall be satisfied with my goodness, says 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 says the LORD; A voice was heard in Ramah, lamentation, 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 says the LORD; Refrain your voice from weeping, and your eyes from tears: for your work shall be rewarded, said the LORD; and they shall come again from the land of the enemy.
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 your end, says the LORD, that your children shall come again to their own border.
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 have surely heard Ephraim bemoaning himself thus; You have chastised me, and I was chastised, as a bullock unaccustomed to the yoke: turn you me, and I shall be turned; for you are 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 was turned, I repented; and after that I was instructed, I smote on my thigh: I was ashamed, yes, even confounded, because I did bear the reproach 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 dear son? is he a pleasant child? for since I spoke against him, I do earnestly remember him still: therefore my bowels are troubled for him; I will surely have mercy on him, says 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 you up markers, make you high heaps: set your heart toward the highway, even the way which you went: turn again, O virgin of Israel, turn again to these your 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 will you go about, O you backsliding daughter? for the LORD has created a new thing in the earth, A woman shall compass 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 says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; As yet they shall use this speech in the land of Judah and in the cities thereof, when I shall bring again their captivity; The LORD bless you, O habitation of justice, and mountain of holiness.
24 Bato bakokoma kovanda elongo kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na bingumba na yango nyonso: basali bilanga mpe babokoli bibwele.
And there shall dwell in Judah itself, and in all the cities thereof together, farmers, and they that go forth with flocks.
25 Nakozongisa makasi ya bato oyo balembi na posa ya mayi, mpe nakoleisa bato oyo balembi na nzala. »
For I have satiated the weary soul, and I have replenished every sorrowful soul.
26 Boye, tango nalamukaki, natalaki pene na ngai; nasosolaki ete pongi na ngai ezalaki elengi.
On this I awaked, and beheld; and my sleep was sweet to me.
27 « Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakolona bato mpe banyama lokola milona kati na bokonzi ya Isalaele mpe kati na bokonzi ya Yuda.
Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will sow the house of Israel and the house of Judah with the seed of man, and with the seed 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 it shall come to pass, that like as I have watched over them, to pluck up, and to break down, and to throw down, and to destroy, and to afflict; so will I watch over them, to build, and to plant, says the 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 days they shall say no more, The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children’s 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 every one shall die for his own iniquity: every man that eats the sour grape, his teeth shall be set on edge.
31 Na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala boyokani ya sika elongo na bato ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda;
Behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will make a new covenant with the house of Israel, and with the house of Judah:
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 the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day that I took them by the hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt; which my covenant they broke, although I was an husband to them, says 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 covenant that I will make with the house of Israel; After those days, says the LORD, I will put my law in their inward parts, and write it in their hearts; and will be their God, and they shall be 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 every man his neighbor, and every man his brother, saying, Know the LORD: for they shall all know me, from the least of them to the greatest of them, says the LORD: for I will forgive their iniquity, and I will remember their sin 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 says the LORD, which gives the sun for a light by day, and the ordinances of the moon and of the stars for a light by night, which divides the sea when the waves thereof roar; The LORD of hosts is his name:
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 those ordinances depart from before me, says the LORD, then the seed of Israel also shall cease from being a nation before me for ever.
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 says the LORD; If heaven above can be measured, and the foundations of the earth searched out beneath, I will also cast off all the seed of Israel for all that they have done, says 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 days come, says the LORD, that the city shall be built to the LORD from the tower of Hananeel to 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 measuring line shall yet go forth over against it on the hill Gareb, and shall compass 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 to the brook of Kidron, to the corner of the horse gate toward the east, shall be holy to the LORD; it shall not be plucked up, nor thrown down any more for ever.
