Jeremi 39
1 Tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu libwa na bokonzi, na sanza ya zomi, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, elongo na mampinga na ye nyonso, ayaki kobundisa Yelusalemi mpe azingelaki yango.
In the ninth year of Sedecias king of Juda, in the tenth month, came Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon, and all his army to Jerusalem, and they besieged it.
2 Tango Sedesiasi akokisaki mibu zomi na moko na bokonzi, na mokolo ya libwa ya sanza ya minei, lidusu moko efungwamaki kati na mir ya engumba.
And in the I eleventh year of Sedecias, in the fourth month, the fifth day of the month, the city was opened.
3 Bakalaka nyonso ya mokonzi ya Babiloni bakotaki kati na engumba mpe bayaki kovanda na Ekuke ya kati-kati. Ezalaki Nerigali-Saretseri, Samigari-Nebu; Sarisekimi, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu; Nerigali-Saretseri, mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga, mpe bakonzi mosusu ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Babiloni.
And all the princes of the king of Babylon came in, and sat in the middle gate: Neregel, Sereser, Semegarnabu, Sarsachim, Rabsares, Neregel, Serezer, Rebmag, and all the rest of the princes of the king of Babylon.
4 Tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mpe basoda nyonso bamonaki bongo, bakimaki, babimaki na engumba butu-butu, na nzela ya elanga ya mokonzi, na Ekuke oyo ezali na kati-kati ya bamir mibale; bakendeki na nzela ya lubwaku ya Yordani.
And when Sedecias the king of Juda and all the men of war saw them, they fled: and they went forth in the night out of the city by the way of the king’s garden, and by the gate that was between the two walls, and they went; out to the way of the desert.
5 Kasi basoda ya Babiloni balandaki bango mpe bakangaki Sedesiasi, na etando ya Jeriko; bazwaki ye mpe bamemaki ye na Ribila, kati na mokili ya Amati, epai ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo akatelaki ye etumbu.
But the army of the Chaldeans pursued after them: and they took Sedecias in the plain of the desert of Jericho, and when they had taken him, they brought him to Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon to Reblatha, which is in the land of Emath: and he gave judgment upon him.
6 Kuna na Ribila, mokonzi ya Babiloni apesaki mitindo ete bakata, na miso na ye, mito ya bana mibali ya Sedesiasi mpe ya bankumu nyonso ya Yuda.
And the king of Babylon slew the sons of Sedecias, in Reblatha, before his eyes: and the king of Babylon slew all the nobles of Juda.
7 Apesaki lisusu mitindo ete batobola miso ya Sedesiasi, bakanga ye minyololo ya bibende ya bronze mpo na komema ye na Babiloni.
He also put out the eyes of Sedecias: and bound him with fetters, to be carried to Babylon.
8 Basoda ya Babiloni batumbaki ndako ya mokonzi mpe bandako ya bato, mpe babukaki bamir ya Yelusalemi.
And the Chaldeans burnt the king’s house, and the houses of the people with fire, and they threw down the wall of Jerusalem.
9 Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, amemaki na bowumbu, na Babiloni, bato oyo batikalaki kati na engumba elongo na bato oyo bayaki komitika bango moko epai na ye, mpe bato mosusu.
And Nabuzardan the general of the army carried away captive to Babylon the remnant of the people that remained in the city, and the fugitives that had gone over to him, and the rest of the people that remained.
10 Kasi Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, atikaki kati na mokili ya Yuda, babola oyo bazalaki ata na eloko moko te; apesaki bango bilanga ya vino mpe bilanga.
But Nabuzardan the general left some of the poor people that had nothing at all, in the land of Juda, and he gave them vineyards, and cisterns at that time.
11 Nzokande, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, na tina na mosakoli Jeremi:
Now Nabuchodonosor king of Babylon had given charge to Nabuzardan the general concerning Jeremias, saying:
12 « Kamata ye, batela ye, kosala ye mabe te; kasi salela ye makambo nyonso oyo akosenga yo. »
Take him, and set thy eyes upon him, and do him no harm: but as he hath a mind, so do with him.
13 Boye, Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi; Nebutsasibani, mokonzi ya bakalaka ya lokumu; Nerigali-Saretseri, mokonzi ya liboso ya mampinga, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda ya mokonzi ya Babiloni
Therefore Nabuzardan the general sent, and Nabusezban, and Rabsares, and Neregel, and Sereser, and Rebmag, and all the nobles of the king of Babylon,
14 batindaki ete bazwa Jeremi kati na lopango ya mokonzi mpe bapesaki ye na maboko ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani, mpo ete azongisa ye na ndako na ye. Boye Jeremi awumelaki kati na bato na ye.
Sent, and took Jeremias out of the court of the prison, and committed him to Codolias the son of Ahicam the son of Saphan, that he might go home, and dwell among the people.
15 Wana Jeremi azalaki ya kokangama kati na lopango ya bakengeli, Yawe alobaki na ye:
But the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, when he was yet shut up in the court of the prison, saying: Go, and tell Abdemelech the Ethiopian, saying:
16 — Kende koyebisa Ebedi-Meleki, moto ya Kushi: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakomi pene ya kokokisa makambo oyo nalakaki mpo na engumba oyo, makambo ya pasi kasi ya esengo te; tango makambo yango ekokokisama, ekosalema na miso na yo.
Thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel: Behold I will bring my words upon this city unto evil, and not unto good: and they shall be accomplished in thy sight in that day.
17 Kasi na mokolo wana, nakobatela yo, › elobi Yawe, ‹ okokabama te na maboko ya bato oyo yo ozali kobanga.
And I will deliver thee in that day, saith the Lord: and thou shalt not be given into the hands of the men whom thou fearest:
18 Solo, nakobikisa yo, mpe okokufa na mopanga te; kasi bomoi na yo ekozala bomengo na yo ya bitumba, pamba te otielaka Ngai elikya, elobi Yawe. › »
But delivering, I will deliver thee, and thou shalt not fall by the sword: but thy life shall be saved for thee, because thou hast put thy trust in me, saith the Lord.
