Jeremi 36
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi, na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
When Jehoiakim had been the king of Judah for almost four years, Yahweh gave this message to me:
2 « Kamata mokanda, mpe koma kati na yango makambo nyonso oyo nalobaki na yo mpo na Isalaele, mpo na Yuda mpe mpo na bikolo nyonso mosusu, wuta mokolo oyo nabandaki koloba na yo, na tango Joziasi azalaki mokonzi, kino na mokolo ya lelo.
“Get a scroll, and write on it the messages that I have given to you regarding Israel, Judah, and the other nations. Write all of the messages, starting from the time that I gave you the first message, when Josiah was the king, up until now.
3 Tango mosusu, soki bato ya Yuda bayoki sango ya pasi nyonso oyo nabongisi mpo na kotindela bango, moko na moko kati na bango akotika nzela na ye ya mabe; mpe, na bongo, Ngai nakolimbisa mabe mpe masumu na bango. »
When the people of Judah hear [again] about all the disasters that I plan to cause them to experience, perhaps each one of them will repent. If they do that, I will be able to forgive them for the wrong/evil things that they have done.”
4 Boye, Jeremi abengaki Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, mpe wana Jeremi azalaki koloba makambo nyonso oyo Yawe ayebisaki ye, Baruki azalaki kokoma yango na mokanda.
[So] I summoned Baruch, the son of Neraiah. Then, as I dictated to him all the messages that Yahweh had spoken to me, he wrote them on a scroll.
5 Jeremi alobaki na Baruki: « Ngai nakangami, nakolonga kokende na Tempelo ya Yawe te.
Then I said to him, “I am not allowed to [leave here and] go to the temple.
6 Boye yo, kende na Tempelo ya Yawe, na mokolo ya kokila bilei, mpe tangela bato maloba ya Yawe, oyo okomaki na mokanda, wana ngai nazalaki koloba na yo; tangela yango bato nyonso ya Yuda, oyo bakoya wuta na bingumba na bango.
So, you go [to the temple] on the [next] day when the people are (fasting/abstaining from food), and read to them the messages from Yahweh that you wrote while I dictated them to you. Read them [aloud] to all the people [who are there, including] the people of Judah who come [there] from their towns.
7 Tango mosusu mabondeli na bango ekokoma liboso ya Yawe, mpe moko na moko kati na bango akotika nzela na ye ya mabe; pamba te kotomboka mpe kanda oyo Yawe akani kokitisela bato oyo ezali monene. »
Perhaps they will turn from their evil behavior and request Yahweh [to act mercifully toward them]. [They must do that, ] because Yahweh is very angry with them and has threatened to punish them severely.”
8 Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, asalaki makambo nyonso oyo mosakoli Jeremi atindaki ye kosala; atangaki na Tempelo ya Yawe maloba ya Yawe oyo ekomamaki na mokanda.
Baruch did what I told him to do. He [went to the temple and] read [to the people] all those messages from Yahweh.
9 Na sanza ya libwa, ya mobu ya mitano ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, babengisaki mokolo ya kokila bilei liboso ya Yawe, mpo na bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi mpe bato oyo bawutaki na bingumba ya Yuda.
He did it in December on a day when their leaders had proclaimed that all the people in Jerusalem and the people who had come there from [other] towns in Judah should fast to [please/honor] Yahweh. [It was when] Jehoiakim had been king for almost five years.
10 Baruki atangelaki bato nyonso, kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, maloba ya Jeremi oyo ekomamaki na mokanda, wuta na shambre ya Gemaria, mwana mobali ya Shafani oyo azalaki mokomi mikanda; shambre yango ezalaki kati na lopango ya likolo, na ekotelo ya Ekuke ya Sika ya Tempelo.
Baruch read to all the people the messages [that he had written] on the scroll. [He read them while he was] in the temple, in the room where Gemariah stayed. He was the son of Shaphan, [who had previously been the king’s] secretary. That room was close to the upper courtyard [of the temple], near the entrance to the temple that is [called] the New Gate.
11 Tango Mishe, mwana, mobali ya Gemaria, mwana mobali ya Shafani, ayokaki maloba nyonso ya Yawe oyo ekomamaki na mokanda,
When Micaiah, who was the son of Gemariah and grandson of Shaphan, heard those messages from Yahweh,
12 akendeki na ndako ya mokonzi, akotaki kati na ndako ya mosala ya mokomi mikanda epai wapi bakalaka nyonso bazalaki na mayangani: Elishama, mokomi mikanda; Delaya, mwana mobali ya Shemaya; Elinatani, mwana mobali ya Akibori; Gemaria, mwana mobali ya Shafani; Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Anania; mpe bakalaka nyonso mosusu.
he went down to the secretary’s room in the palace, where all the king’s officials were meeting. Elishama the [king’s] secretary [was there]. Delaiah the son of Shemaiah, Elnathan the son of Acbor, Gemariah, Zedekiah the son of Hananiah, and all the [other] officials [of the king were also there].
13 Sima na Mishe koyebisa bango makambo nyonso oyo ayokaki epai ya Baruki tango azalaki kotangela bato makomi oyo ezalaki kati na mokanda,
When Micaiah told them about the messages that Baruch had been reading to the people,
14 bakambi nyonso batindaki Yewudi, mwana mobali ya Netania, mwana mobali ya Shelemia, mwana mobali ya Kushi, epai ya Baruki mpo na koyebisa ye: « Yaka yo moko elongo na mokanda oyo atangelaki bato. » Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, akendeki epai na bango mpe amemaki mokanda na maboko na ye.
the officials sent Jehudi, who was the son of Nethaniah and grandson of Shelemiah and great-grandson of Cushi, to tell Baruch to come [and read the messages to them, also]. So Baruch took the scroll and went to them.
15 Balobaki na ye: — Tobondeli yo, vanda, tangela biso mokanda oyo. Baruki atangelaki bango mokanda yango.
They said to him, “Please sit down and read it [to us].” So Baruch did what they requested.
16 Tango bayokaki maloba wana nyonso, bakomaki kotalana bango na bango na somo mpe balobaki na Baruki: — Tosengeli penza koyebisa makambo oyo nyonso epai ya mokonzi.
After they had heard all the messages, they were afraid. They looked at each other and [then] they said, “We must tell these messages to the king!”
17 Batunaki Baruki: — Yebisa biso ndenge nini osalaki mpo na kokoma makambo oyo nyonso. Ezali Jeremi te moto ayebisi yo makambo oyo?
Then they asked Baruch, “How did you get this scroll? Did Jeremiah dictate to you all the messages on this scroll?”
18 Baruki azongisaki: — Solo, ezali ye moto ayebisaki ngai makambo oyo nyonso, mpe ngai nasalelaki kaka ekomeli mpo na kotia yango na mokanda.
Baruch replied, “[Yes], Jeremiah dictated them to me, and I wrote them with ink on this scroll.”
19 Bakambi bayebisaki Baruki: — Yo mpe Jeremi, bokende kobombama. Mpe tika ete moto moko te ayeba esika bokozala.
Then the officials told Baruch, “You and Jeremiah must both hide. Do not tell anyone where you are!”
20 Sima na bango kotia mokanda yango kati na ndako ya mosala ya Elishama, mokomi mikanda, bakendeki epai ya mokonzi kati na lopango mpe bayebisaki ye makambo nyonso.
They put the scroll in the room of Elishama, the king’s secretary. Then they went to the king, who was in the courtyard, and reported to him everything [that Baruch had read to them].
21 Mokonzi atindaki Yewudi mpo ete akende kozwa mokanda yango, mpe Yewudi akendeki kozwa yango na ndako ya mosala ya mokomi mikanda Elishama mpe atangaki yango liboso ya mokonzi mpe ya bakalaka nyonso oyo batelemaki pene na ye.
Then the king sent Jehudi to get the scroll. Jehudi brought it from Elishama’s room and read it to the king, while all the [king’s] officials were standing there.
22 Ezalaki na sanza ya libwa; mokonzi avandaki kati na shambre oyo bakimelaka na tango ya malili mpe azalaki koyetola moto oyo ezalaki kopela liboso na ye.
It was in the cold season, and the king was in a part of the palace where he stayed when it was cold. He was sitting in front of a fire [to keep/be warm].
23 Soki Yewudi atangi milongo misato to minei ya makomi ya mokanda, mokonzi azalaki kokata yango na mbeli ya mokomi mikanda mpe kobwaka yango na moto, kino tango mokanda nyonso esilaki kozika na moto.
Each time Jehudi finished reading three or four columns, the king cut off that section of the scroll with a knife and threw it into the fire. He did that, section by section, until the entire scroll was burned up.
24 Boye, mokonzi elongo na bakalaka na ye nyonso oyo bazalaki koyoka makambo oyo ekomamaki na mokanda yango bamitungisaki na eloko moko te mpe bapasolaki bilamba na bango te.
Neither the king nor his officials showed that they were afraid [that God would punish them]. They did not tear their clothes [to show that they were sorry for what they had done].
25 Atako Elinatani, Delaya mpe Gemaria bazalaki kobondela mokonzi ete atumba mokanda yango te, atikalaki koyokela bango te.
Elnathan, Delaiah, and Gemariah pleaded with the king not to burn the scroll, but he did not pay any attention.
26 Kutu, mokonzi atindaki Yerameeli, kalaka ya makila; Seraya, mwana mobali ya Azirieli, mpe Shelemia, mwana mobali ya Abideyeli, ete bakanga Baruki, mokomi mikanda, mpe mosakoli Jeremi. Kasi Yawe abombaki bango.
Then the king commanded his son Jerahmeel, Seraiah the son of Azriel, and Shelemiah the son of Abdeel to arrest Baruch and me. But [they were unable to do that because] Yahweh had hidden us.
27 Tango mokonzi asilisaki kotumba mokanda oyo ezalaki na maloba oyo Baruki akomaki na etinda ya Jeremi, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
After the king had burned the scroll on which were written the messages that I had dictated to Baruch, Yahweh said this to me:
28 — Kamata mokanda mosusu mpe koma kati na yango makambo nyonso oyo ezalaki na mokanda ya liboso oyo mokonzi Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, atumbaki.
“Get another scroll, and [tell Baruch to] write everything again, the same messages that he had written on the scroll that the king burned.
29 Loba lisusu na Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Ezali yo nde moto otumbaki mokanda wana mpe olobaki: ‹ Mpo na nini okomaki ete mokonzi ya Babiloni akoya kobebisa mokili oyo mpe koboma ezala bato to banyama? ›
[Then go to] the king and say to him, ‘Yahweh says this: “You burned the scroll [because you did not like] what was written on it, that the king of Babylon would surely [RHQ] come [with his army] and destroy this land and get rid of all the people and the animals.
30 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi na tina na Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda: Ekozala na mokitani na ye moko te oyo akokitana na ye na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi; ebembe na ye ekobwakama na libanda, mpe bakotanda yango na molunge ya moyi mpe na malili ya butu.
Now this is what [I], Yahweh, say about [you], Jehoiakim: 'None of your descendants will rule this kingdom [MTY]. Your corpse will be thrown out [on the ground and not be buried]; it will be under the hot [sun] during the days and [struck by] frost during the nights.
31 Nakopesa ye, bana na ye mpe basali na ye nyonso etumbu mpo na mabe na bango; nakotindela bango elongo na bavandi ya Yelusalemi mpe ya Yuda, pasi nyonso oyo nalakaki bango, mpo ete bayokaki Ngai te. »
I will punish you and your family and your officials for their sins. And I will cause the people of Jerusalem and the people of the [other] towns in Judah to experience all the disasters that I promised, because you all would not pay attention [to what I said]!'” '”
32 Jeremi azwaki mokanda mosusu mpe apesaki yango na Baruki, mokomi mikanda, mwana mobali ya Neriya. Wana Jeremi azalaki koloba makambo oyo ezalaki kati na mokanda oyo Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, atumbaki, Baruki azalaki kokoma yango. Mpe makambo ebele mosusu ya lolenge wana ebakisamaki na kati.
So I took another scroll, and again I dictated the messages to Baruch. He wrote everything that had been written on the [other] scroll, the one that King Jehoiakim had burned in the fire. [But this time, I] added more messages.
