< 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:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still confined to the atrium of the prison, saying:
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Ye oyo akela mabele, oyo abongisa yango malamu mpe alendisa yango, oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, alobi:
“Thus says the Lord, who will prepare, and form, and accomplish it; the Lord is his name.
3 ‹ Belela Ngai, mpe Ngai nakoyanola yo, nakoyebisa yo makambo minene mpe mabombami oyo oyebi te. ›
Cry out to me and I will heed you. And I will announce to you great things, things that are certain, though you do not know them.
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
For thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to the houses of this city, and to the houses of the king of Judah, which have been destroyed, and to the fortifications, and to the sword
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.
of those who have arrived, so that they may fight with the Chaldeans, and so that they may have their fill of the dead bodies of the men whom I have struck down in my fury and in my indignation, concealing my face from this city, because of all their wickedness:
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.
Behold, I will lead over them scars and health, and I will cure them. And I will reveal to them an invocation of peace and truth.
7 Nakokangola bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele longwa na bowumbu mpe nakokomisa bango lisusu ndenge bazalaki liboso.
And I will convert the turning away of Judah and the turning away of Jerusalem. And I will build them up, just as from the beginning.
8 Nakopetola bango na masumu nyonso oyo basalaki liboso na Ngai. Nakolimbisa masumu nyonso ya botomboki oyo basalaki liboso na Ngai.
And I will cleanse them from all their iniquity, by which they have sinned against me. And I will forgive all their iniquities, by which they have offended against me and have despised me.
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. ›
And this will be for me: a name, and a joy, and a praise, and an exultation, among all the nations of the earth who will hear about all the good things that I will accomplish for them. And they will be afraid and troubled over all these good things, and over all the peace, that I will accomplish for them.
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:
Thus says the Lord: Still shall there be heard in this place, (which you say is desolate, because there is neither man nor beast, ) and in the cities of Judah and outside of Jerusalem, (which are desolate, without man, and without an inhabitant and without cattle, )
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.
the voice of gladness and the voice of rejoicing, the voice of the groom and the voice of the bride, the voice of those who will say: ‘Confess to the Lord of hosts! For the Lord is good! For his mercy is eternal!’ and the voice of those fulfilling their vows in the house of the Lord. For I will lead back the turning away of the land, just as from the beginning, says the Lord.”
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.
Thus says the Lord of hosts: “Still shall there be in this place, (which is desolate without man and without beast, ) and in all of its cities: a habitation for the shepherds giving rest to their flocks.
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.
For even in the cities on the mountains, and in the cities on the plains, and in the cities that are toward the south, and in the land of Benjamin, and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, still shall the flocks travel by the hand of him who numbers them, says the Lord.
14 ‹ Na mikolo ekoya, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nakokokisa elaka kitoko oyo napesaki na mabota ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.
Behold, the days are approaching, says the Lord, when I will fulfill the good word that I have spoken to the house of Israel and to the house of Judah.
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.
In those days and at that time, I will cause the seedling of justice to spring up from David, and he will accomplish judgment and justice upon the earth.
16 Na mikolo wana, Yuda ekobikisama, mpe Yelusalemi ekozala na kimia. Tala kombo oyo bakobengela yango: Yawe azali Bosembo na biso. ›
In those days, Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in confidence. And this is the name that they will call him: ‘The Lord, our Just One.’
17 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Davidi akozalaka tango nyonso na moto oyo akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya libota ya Isalaele;
For thus says the Lord: There shall not cease to be a man from David sitting upon the throne of the house of Israel.
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. › »
And there shall not cease to be a man from the priests and from the Levites before my face, who offers holocausts, and burns sacrifices, and kills victims, for days without end.”
19 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
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,
“Thus says the Lord: If my covenant with the day is able to be nullified, or my covenant with the night, such that there would be no day and no night in their time,
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.
then, too, my covenant with David, my servant, may be nullified, such that he would not have a son who reigns upon his throne, with both the Levites and the priests as my ministers.
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. › »
Just as the stars of heaven are not able to be numbered, and the sand of the sea is not able to be measured, so will I multiply the offspring of David, my servant, and the Levites, my ministers.”
23 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremiah, saying:
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.
“Have you not seen what this people has spoken? They say: ‘The two families which the Lord had chosen have been rejected.’ And so they have despised my people, as if they were no longer a nation in their sight.
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,
Thus says the Lord: If I have not established my covenant with the day and the night, and my laws over heaven and earth,
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. › »
then truly I will also cast aside the offspring of Jacob, and of David, my servant, so that I do not take up any of his offspring to be leaders over the offspring of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will lead back their turning away, and I will take pity on them.”
