Jeremi 34
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi wana Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na basoda na ye nyonso, mikili ya bakonzi nyonso oyo azalaki kokamba, mpe bikolo nyonso bazalaki kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe bingumba nyonso ya zingazinga na yango:
Thus said the Lord; Make to thyself bonds and yokes, and put [them] about thy neck,
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: kende koloba na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nasengeli kokaba engumba oyo na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe akobebisa yango na moto.
3 Bongo yo, okobika te na loboko na ye, kasi bakokanga yo solo mpe bakokaba yo na maboko na ye; okomona mokonzi ya Babiloni miso na yo moko, akolobana na yo elongi na elongi, mpe okokende na Babiloni.
and thou shalt send them to the king of Idumea, and to the king of Moab, and to the king of the children of Ammon, and to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hands of their messengers that come to meet them at Jerusalem to Sedekias king of Juda.
4 Nzokande, Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, yoka Liloba na Yawe! Tala elaka oyo Yawe apesi yo: Okokufa na mopanga te,
And thou shalt commission them to say to their lords, Thus said the Lord God of Israel; Thus shall ye say to your lords;
5 kasi okokufa na kimia. Mpe ndenge bato bapelisaki moto mpe batumbaki malasi ya solo kitoko, na matanga ya batata na yo, bakonzi ya kala oyo baleka liboso na yo, mpo na kopesa bango lokumu, ndenge wana mpe bakosala mpo na lokumu na yo. Mpe bakoyemba nzembo ya mawa na tina na yo: ‘Oh mawa, nkolo na ngai!’ Solo, Ngai moko nde napesi elaka oyo, elobi Yawe. › »
I have made the earth by my great power, and with my high arm, and I will give it to whomsoever it shall seem [good] in mine eyes.
6 Mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, maloba wana nyonso, kati na Yelusalemi,
I gave the earth to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to serve him, and the wild beasts of the field to labour for him.
7 wana basoda ya mokonzi ya Babiloni bazalaki kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe bingumba nyonso mosusu ya Yuda, oyo mokonzi ya Babiloni alongaki nanu te: Lakishi mpe Azeka, pamba te yango kaka nde ezalaki bingumba batonga makasi oyo etikalaki kati na Yuda.
8 Sima na mokonzi Sedesiasi kosala boyokani elongo na bato nyonso kati na Yelusalemi mpo ete kokangolama ya bawumbu nyonso esakolama, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi
And the nation and kingdom, all that shall not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, with sword and famine will I visit them, saith the Lord, until they are consumed by his hand.
9 mpo ete moto nyonso apesa bawumbu na ye bonsomi, bawumbu oyo bazali Ba-Ebre, bazala mibali to basi; mpe mpo ete moto moko te akoba kokanga ndeko na ye, Moyuda, kati na bowumbu.
And hearken ye not to your false prophets, nor to them that divine to you, nor to them that foretell events by dreams to you, nor to your auguries, nor your sorcerers, that say, Ye shall by no means work for the king of Babylon:
10 Boye, bakambi nyonso mpe bato nyonso oyo basalaki boyokani yango bandimaki kokangola bawumbu na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi mpe kopesa bango bonsomi, mpo ete bakoba lisusu te kokanga bango na bowumbu; bandimaki, bakokisaki mpe bapesaki bawumbu na bango bonsomi.
for they prophesy lies to you, to remove you far from your land.
11 Kasi sima na tango, babongolaki makanisi na bango; bakangaki lisusu na bowumbu mibali mpe basi oyo bango basilaki kopesa bonsomi, mpe bakomisaki bango lisusu bawumbu.
But the nation which shall put its neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him, I will even leave it upon its land, and it shall serve him, and dwell in it.
12 Boye, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
I spoke also to Sedekias king of Juda according to all these words, saying, Put your neck into [the yoke], and serve the king of Babylon.
13 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nasalaki boyokani elongo na bakoko na bino tango nabimisaki bango na Ejipito, mokili ya bowumbu; nalobaki:
14 ‹ Sima na mibu sambo nyonso, moto nyonso kati na bino asengeli kopesa bonsomi na Moyuda, ndeko na ye, oyo amitekaki lokola mowumbu; akosalela yo mibu motoba, bongo, sima na yango, okotika ye kokende na bonsomi. › Kasi bakoko na bino bayokaki Ngai te mpe batosaki Ngai te.
For they prophesy unrighteous [words] to you,
15 Nzokande bino, na mwa mikolo oyo kaka, bobongolaki bino moko mitema mpo na kosala makambo ya sembo na miso na Ngai: moko na moko kati na bino asakolaki kokangolama ya ndeko na ye, apesaki ndeko na ye bonsomi. Bosalaki kutu boyokani yango liboso na Ngai, kati na Ndako Ngai.
for I sent them not, saith the Lord; and they prophesy [in] my name unjustly, that I might destroy you, and ye should perish, and your prophets, who unrighteously prophesy lies to you.
16 Kasi tala sik’oyo makambo bosali: bozongi sima, botiki ekateli oyo bozwaki mpe botioli bosantu ya Kombo na Ngai; pamba te bozongisi bawumbu na bino ya kala, mibali to basi, oyo bopesaki bonsomi mpo ete bakende na esika nyonso oyo balingi; bokangi bango na makasi mpo ete bakoma lisusu bawumbu na bino.
I spoke to you, and to all this people, and to the priests, saying, Thus said the Lord; Hearken not to the words of the prophets that prophesy to you, saying, Behold, the vessels of the Lord's house shall return from Babylon: for they prophesy to you unrighteous [words].
17 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Lokola botosaki Ngai te, bosakolaki te kokangolama ya bandeko na bino moko mpe bopesaki bango bonsomi te, Ngai mpe, elobi Yawe, nasakoli ete napesi sik’oyo bonsomi epai ya mopanga, epai ya bokono oyo ebomaka mpe epai ya nzala makasi; nafungoli yango mpo na kotelemela bino: nakokomisa bino eloko ya koyoka somo, na miso ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele;
I sent them not.
18 nakokaba bato oyo babebisaki boyokani na Ngai mpe bakokisaki te malako ya boyokani oyo basalaki liboso na Ngai, na nzela ya kokata na biteni mibale mwana ngombe ya mobali mpe ya kotambola na kati-kati ya biteni yango.
If they are prophets, and if the word of the Lord is in them, let them meet me, for thus has the Lord said.
19 Bakambi ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi, bakalaka ya lokumu, Banganga-Nzambe mpe bato nyonso ya mokili, oyo batambolaki na kati-kati ya biteni ya mwana ngombe ya mobali,
And as for the remaining vessels,
20 nakokaba bango na maboko ya banguna na bango mpe ya bato oyo bazali koluka kosala bango mabe; mpe bibembe na bango ekokoma bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya mabele.
which the king of Babylon took not, when he carried Jechonias prisoner out of Jerusalem,
21 Nakokaba Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, elongo na bakalaka na ye na maboko ya banguna na bango, oyo bazali koluka kosala bango mabe, na maboko ya mampinga ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo akei sik’oyo mosika na bino.
22 Nakopesa bango mitindo, elobi Yawe, mpe nakozongisa bango kati na engumba oyo: bakobundisa yango, bakobotola yango mpe bakobebisa yango na moto. Mpe nakokomisa bingumba ya Yuda esobe, ezanga bavandi. »
they shall go into Babylon, saith the Lord.
