Jeremi 37
1 Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, akomisaki Sedesiasi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda na esika ya Konia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi.
THE WORD THAT CAME TO JEREMIAS FROM THE LORD, SAYING,
2 Ezala ye, bakalaka na ye ya lokumu mpe bato ya mokili, moko te ayokaki na bokebi maloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Jeremi.
Thus speaks the Lord God of Israel, saying, Write all the words which I have spoken to thee in a book.
3 Mokonzi Sedesiasi atindaki Yewukali, mwana mobali ya Shelemia, mpe Nganga-Nzambe Sofoni, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, epai ya mosakoli Jeremi mpo ete bayebisa ye maloba oyo: « Nabondeli yo, bondela Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpo na biso! »
For, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, when I will bring back the captivity of my people Israel and Juda, said the Lord: and I will bring them back to the land which I gave to their fathers, and they shall be lords of it.
4 Na tango wana, Jeremi azalaki na bonsomi ya kotambola na esika oyo alingi kati na bato, pamba te batiaki ye nanu na boloko te.
AND THESE ARE THE WORDS WHICH THE LORD SPOKE CONCERNING ISRAEL AND JUDA;
5 Tango basoda ya Babiloni, oyo bazingelaki engumba Yelusalemi bayokaki sango ete basoda ya Faraon babimi na Ejipito, batikaki kozingela Yelusalemi.
Thus said the Lord: Ye shall hear a sound of fear, [there is] fear, and there is not peace.
6 Bongo tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Jeremi:
Enquire, and see if a male has born a child? and [ask] concerning the fear, wherein they shall hold their loins, and [look for] safety: for I have seen every man, and his hands are on his loins; [their] faces are turned to paleness.
7 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Yebisa mokonzi ya Yuda oyo atindi yo kotuna toli epai na Ngai: ‹ Basoda ya Faraon oyo babimaki na mokili na bango mpo na koya kosunga yo bakozonga na mokili na bango, na Ejipito;
For that day is great, and there is not such [another]; and it is a time of straitness to Jacob; but he shall be saved out of it.
8 mpe basoda ya Babiloni bakozonga mpe bakobundisa engumba oyo; bakobotola yango mpe bakobebisa yango na moto. ›
In that day, said the Lord, I will break the yoke off their neck, and will burst their bonds, and they shall no longer serve strangers:
9 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bokanisa te ete bato ya Babiloni bakolongwa na mokili na bino. Te! Bakolongwa te. ›
but they shall serve the Lord their God; and I will raise up to them David their king.
10 Ezala soki bolongi basoda nyonso ya Babiloni, oyo bazali kobundisa bino mpe etikali kaka ndambo ya bato oyo bazoki-zoki bapota, bakolonga kotelema kati na bandako na bango ya kapo mpe kobima mpo na kobebisa engumba oyo na moto. »
11 Sima na basoda ya Babiloni kotika kozingela Yelusalemi likolo ya basoda ya Faraon, oyo bazalaki kopusana,
12 Jeremi alingaki kobima na Yelusalemi mpo ete akende kozwa, kati na etuka ya Benjame, libula na ye ya mabele kati na bato ya kuna.
Thus saith the Lord; I have brought on [thee] destruction; thy stroke is painful.
13 Kasi tango akomaki na Ekuke ya Benjame, mokambi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, oyo kombo na ye ezalaki Iriya, mwana mobali ya Shelemia, mwana mobali ya Anania, akangaki mosakoli Jeremi mpe atunaki ye: — Boni, ozali kokende na ngambo ya bato ya Babiloni?
There is none to judge thy cause: thou hast been painfully treated for healing, there is no help for thee.
14 Jeremi azongisaki: — Te! Ezali lokuta, nazali kokende na ngambo ya bato ya Babiloni te! Kasi Iriya aboyaki koyoka ye, akangaki ye kaka mpe amemaki ye epai ya bakambi.
All thy friends have forgotten thee; they shall not ask [about thee] at all, for I have smitten thee with he stroke of an enemy, [even] severe correction: thy sins have abounded above all thine iniquity.
15 Bakambi batombokelaki Jeremi makasi, babetaki ye mpe batiaki ye na ndako ya Jonatan, mokomi mikanda, ndako oyo bakomisaki boloko.
Thy sins have abounded beyond the multitude of thine iniquities, [therefore] they have done these things to thee. Therefore all that devour thee shall be eaten, and all thine enemies shall eat all their [own] flesh.
16 Babwakaki Jeremi kati na boloko ya se ya mabele epai wapi awumelaki tango molayi.
And they that spoil thee shall become a spoil, and I will give up to be plundered all that have plundered thee.
17 Mokolo moko, mokonzi Sedesiasi atindaki ete bakende kozwa ye mpe bamema ye na ndako ya mokonzi epai wapi atunaki ye na nkuku: — Boni, ozali ata na liloba moko te kowuta epai na Yawe? Jeremi azongisaki: — Solo, liloba ezali! Okokweya na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni.
For I will bring about thy healing, I will heal thee of thy grievous wound, saith the Lord; for thou art called Dispersed: she is your prey, for no one seeks after her.
18 Bongo Jeremi alobaki lisusu na mokonzi Sedesiasi: — Mabe nini penza ngai nasali yo to bakalaka na yo to mpe bato na yo mpo ete bobwaka ngai kati na boloko oyo?
Thus said the Lord; Behold, I will turn the captivity of Jacob, and will have pity upon his prisoners; and the city shall be built upon her hill, and the people shall settle after their manner.
19 Wapi basakoli na bino oyo bazalaki koloba ete mokonzi ya Babiloni akoya te kobundisa bino mpe mokili na bino?
And there shall go forth from them singers, [even] the sound of men making merry: and I will multiply them, and they shall not at all be diminished.
20 Kasi sik’oyo mokonzi, nkolo na ngai, nabondeli yo: yoka ngai! Tika ete mabondeli na ngai ekoma liboso na yo: kozongisa ngai te kati na ndako ya Jonatan, mokomi mikanda, noki te nakokufa kuna!
And their sons shall go in as before, and their testimonies shall be established before me, and I will visit them that afflict them.
21 Mokonzi Sedesiasi apesaki mitindo ete batia Jeremi kati na lopango ya bakengeli mpe bapesaka ye, mokolo na mokolo, lipa moko oyo ekobanda kowuta na balabala ya bato oyo basalaka mapa, kino tango mapa ekosila kati na engumba. Boye, Jeremi avandaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli.
And their mighty ones shall be over them, and their prince shall proceed of themselves; and I will gather them, and they shall return to me: for who is this that has set his heart to return to me? saith the Lord.
For the wrathful anger of the lord has gone forth, [even] a whirlwind of anger has gone forth: it shall come upon the ungodly.
The fierce anger of the Lord shall not return, until he shall execute [it], and until he shall establish the purpose of his heart: in the latter days ye shall know these things.
