Jeremi 33

1 Yawe alobaki na Jeremi, na mbala ya mibale, wana azalaki nanu ya kokangama kati na boloko oyo ezalaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli:

IN THE BEGINNING OF THE REIGN OF KING JOAKIM SON OF JOSIAS THERE CAME THIS WORD FROM THE LORD.

2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Ye oyo akela mabele, oyo abongisa yango malamu mpe alendisa yango, oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, alobi:

Thus said the Lord; Stand in the court of the Lord's house, and thou shalt declare to all the Jews, and to all that come to worship in the house of the Lord, all the words which I commanded thee to speak to them; abate not one word.

3 ‹ Belela Ngai, mpe Ngai nakoyanola yo, nakoyebisa yo makambo minene mpe mabombami oyo oyebi te. ›

Peradventure they will hear, and turn every one from his evil way: then I will cease from the evils which I purpose to do to them, because of their evil practices.

4 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na bandako ya engumba oyo mpe ya bandako ya bakonzi ya Yuda, oyo babukaki mpo na kotelemela bangomba mike ya kokimela mpe mopanga ya monguna

And thou shalt say, Thus said the Lord; If ye will not hearken to me, to walk in my statutes which I set before you,

5 kati na etumba na bato ya Babiloni: ‹ Bandako yango ekotonda na bibembe ya bato oyo nakoboma na nguya ya kotomboka mpe ya kanda na Ngai. Nakobombela engumba oyo elongi na Ngai likolo ya mabe na yango nyonso.

to hearken to the words of my servants the prophets, whom I send to you early in the morning; yea, I sent them, but ye hearkened not to me;

6 Kasi nakoyeisa bato na yango nzoto kolongono mpe nakobikisa bango; solo, nakobikisa bato na Ngai mpe nakopesa bango bomoi ya kimia kati na bobatelami.

then will I make this house as Selo, and I will make [this] city a curse to all the nations of all the earth.

7 Nakokangola bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele longwa na bowumbu mpe nakokomisa bango lisusu ndenge bazalaki liboso.

And the priests, and the false prophets, and all the people heard Jeremias speaking these words in the house of the Lord.

8 Nakopetola bango na masumu nyonso oyo basalaki liboso na Ngai. Nakolimbisa masumu nyonso ya botomboki oyo basalaki liboso na Ngai.

And it came to pass, when Jeremias had ceased speaking all that the Lord had ordered him to speak to all the people, that the priests and the false prophets and all the people took him, saying,

9 Boye engumba oyo, Yelusalemi, ekosala lokumu, esengo, masanzoli mpe nkembo ya Kombo na Ngai liboso ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele, oyo ekoyoka sango ya makambo nyonso ya kitoko oyo nakosala mpo na yango. Bikolo yango ekokamwa mpe ekolenga na somo ya komona makambo nyonso ya kitoko mpe kimia oyo nakopesa na engumba yango. ›

Thou shalt surely die, because thou hast prophesied in the name of the Lord, saying, This house shall be as Selo, and this city shall be made quite destitute of inhabitants. And all the people assembled against Jeremias in the house of the Lord.

10 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bozali koloba na tina na esika oyo: ‘Eh! Esika oyo ebeba! Ezalaka lisusu na bato mpe banyama te!’ Nzokande, kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi oyo ekoma polele, ezanga bato mpe banyama, ekozala lisusu na lokito:

And the princes of Juda heard this word, and they went up out of the house of the king to the house of the Lord, and sat in the entrance of the new gate.

11 ekoyokana kuna lokito ya banzembo ya esengo mpe ya masanzoli, mingongo ya mobandami na libala ya mwasi mpe ya mobali, mpe mingongo ya bato oyo bazali kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe makabo ya kozongisa matondi, na koloba: ‘Bozongisa matondi epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpo ete Yawe azali malamu; bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko!’ Pamba te nakozongisa lisusu kitoko ya mokili yango ndenge ezalaki liboso, › elobi Yawe.

Then the priests and the false prophets said to the princes and to all the people, The judgment of death [is due] to this man; because he has prophesied against this city, as ye have heard with your ears.

12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Kati na esika oyo ebebisama mpe ezanga bato to banyama, mpe kati na bingumba na yango nyonso, ekozala na lisusu na bitando ya matiti mpo na babateli bibwele, bitando epai wapi bakoleisa bibwele na bango.

Then Jeremias spoke to the princes, and to all the people, saying, The Lord sent me to prophesy against this house and against this city, all the words which ye have heard.

13 Kati na bingumba ya bangomba, kati na bingumba ya bitando mpe kati na bingumba ya Negevi, kati na etuka ya Benjame, kati na bamboka oyo ezali zingazinga ya Yelusalemi mpe kati na bingumba ya Yuda, bibwele ekoleka lisusu na se ya loboko ya moto oyo atangaka yango, › elobi Yawe.

And now amend your ways and your works, and hearken to the voice of the Lord; and the Lord shall cease from the evils which he has pronounced against you.

14 ‹ Na mikolo ekoya, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nakokokisa elaka kitoko oyo napesaki na mabota ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.

And behold, I am in your hands; do to me as is expedient, and as it is best for you.

15 Na mikolo yango mpe na tango yango, nakobimisa Moto ya nzete ya sembo wuta na libota ya Davidi; akosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya boyengebene kati na mokili.

But know for a certainty, that if ye slay me, ye bring innocent blood upon yourselves, and upon this city, and upon them that dwell in it; for in truth the Lord has sent me to you to speak in your ears all these words.

16 Na mikolo wana, Yuda ekobikisama, mpe Yelusalemi ekozala na kimia. Tala kombo oyo bakobengela yango: Yawe azali Bosembo na biso. ›

Then the princes and all the people said to the priests and to the false prophets; Judgment of death is not [due] to this man; for he has spoken to us in the name of the Lord our God.

17 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Davidi akozalaka tango nyonso na moto oyo akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya libota ya Isalaele;

And there rose up men of the elders of the land, and said to all the assembly of the people,

18 Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali bakitani ya Levi bakozalaka tango nyonso na bakitani oyo bakobanda kotelema tango nyonso liboso na Ngai mpo na kotumba mbeka, kobonza mbeka ya gato mpe kobonza makabo. › »

Michaeas the Morathite lived in the days of Ezekias king of Juda, and said to all the people of Juda, Thus saith the Lord; Sion shall be ploughed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become a desolation, and the mountain of the house shall be a thicket of trees.

19 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:

Did Ezekias and all Juda in any way slay him? Was it not that they feared the Lord, and they made supplication before the Lord, and the Lord ceased from the evils which he [had] pronounced against them? whereas we have wrought great evil against our own souls.

20 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Soki bolongi kokata boyokani na Ngai elongo na moyi, mpe boyokani na Ngai elongo na butu, mpo ete moyi mpe butu ekoma lisusu te na tango na yango,

And there was [another] man prophesying in the name of the Lord, Urias the son of Samaeas of Cariathiarim; and he prophesied concerning this land according to all the words of Jeremias.

21 wana bokolonga penza kokata boyokani na Ngai elongo na Davidi, mosali na Ngai, mpe Davidi akotikala kozala lisusu te na mokitani na kiti ya bokonzi, mpe bokolonga kokata boyokani na Ngai elongo na Balevi oyo bazali Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalelaka Ngai.

And king Joakim and all the princes heard all his words, and sought to slay him; and Urias heard [it] and went into Egypt.

22 Ndenge kaka bakoki kotanga te mampinga ya likolo mpe zelo ya bibale minene mpo na koyeba motango na yango, ndenge wana mpe nakokomisa ebele, bakitani ya Davidi, mosali na Ngai, mpe Balevi oyo basalelaka Ngai. › »

And the king sent men into Egypt;

23 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:

and they brought him thence, and brought him into the king; and he smote him with the sword, and cast him into the sepulchre of the children of his people.

24 « Boni! Bozali koyoka te makambo bato oyo bazali kosala? Bazali koloba: ‹ Yawe asundoli bituka mibale oyo aponaki. › Na bongo, bazali kotiola bato na Ngai, mpe moto ata moko te azali kozwa bango lokola ekolo.

Nevertheless the hand of Achicam son of Saphan was with Jeremias, to prevent his being delivered into the hands of the people, or being killed.

25 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Soki nasalaki boyokani te elongo na moyi mpe elongo na butu, mpe soki napesaki likolo mpe mabele mibeko te,

26 wana nakokaki kobwaka bakitani ya Jakobi mpe ya Davidi, mosali na Ngai, mpe nalingaki te kopona moko kati na bana na ye mpo ete akamba bakitani ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Jakobi. Nakozongisa lisusu kitoko ya mokili na bango mpe nakoyokela bango mawa. › »
