< Jeremi 4 >
1 « Oh Isalaele, soki okozonga, zonga epai na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « soki olongoli banzambe na yo ya bikeko liboso na Ngai mpe otiki kotambola libanda ya nzela na Ngai;
Israel, if thou turnest ayen, seith the Lord, turne thou to me; if thou takist awei thin offendyngis fro my face, thou schalt not be mouyd.
2 soki olapi ndayi na bosolo mpe na bosembo: ‹ Na Kombo na Yawe, › bikolo ekomipambola mpe ekomipesa nkembo mpo na yo. »
And thou schalt swere, The Lord lyueth, in treuthe and in doom and in riytfulnesse; and alle folkis schulen blesse hym, and schulen preise hym.
3 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi epai ya bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi: « Bokata bilanga ya sika, mpe botika kolona kati na banzube.
For the Lord God seith these thingis to a man of Juda and to a dwellere of Jerusalem, Make ye newe to you a lond tilid of the newe, and nyle ye sowe on thornes.
4 Bomibulisa mpo na Yawe, bopetola mitema na bino, bino bato ya Yuda mpe bato ya Yelusalemi; noki te kanda na Ngai ekopela mpe ekozikisa bino lokola moto mpo na mabe oyo bozali kosala; ekopela makasi mpe moto moko te akokoka koboma yango.
Men of Juda, and dwelleris of Jerusalem, be ye circumcidid to the Lord, and do ye awey the filthis of youre hertis; lest perauenture myn indignacioun go out as fier, and be kyndlid, and noon be that quenche, for the malice of youre thouytis.
5 Bopanza sango na mokili ya Yuda, botatola na Yelusalemi mpe boloba: ‹ Bobeta kelelo na mokili! › Boganga makasi mpe bobelela: ‹ Bosangana, bino nyonso! Tokima na bingumba batonga makasi! ›
Telle ye in Juda, and make ye herd in Jerusalem; speke ye, and synge ye with a trumpe in the lond; crye ye strongli, and seie ye, Be ye gaderid togidere, and entre we in to stronge citees.
6 Botombola bendele mpo na kokende na Siona! Bobombama noki, pamba te nakoyeisa pasi wuta na nor mpe kobebisama ya somo! »
Reise ye a signe in Sion, coumforte ye, and nyle ye stonde; for Y bringe yuel fro the north, and a greet sorewe.
7 Nkosi moko ebimi na ndako na yango; mobebisi moko ya bikolo abimi. Atiki esika na ye mpo na koya kobebisa mokili na yo. Bingumba na yo ekobukana mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te.
A lioun schal `rise vp fro his denne, and the robbere of folkis schal reise hym silf. He is goon out of his place, to sette thi lond in to wildirnesse; thi citees schulen be distried, abidynge stille with out dwellere.
8 Yango wana, bolata bilamba ya basaki, bosala matanga mpe bolela, pamba te kanda makasi ya Yawe elongwe na mito na biso te.
On this thing girde you with heiris; weile ye, and yelle, for the wraththe of the strong veniaunce of the Lord is not turned awei fro you.
9 « Na mokolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « mokonzi mpe bakalaka na ye bakolemba nzoto, Banganga-Nzambe bakoyoka somo mpe basakoli bakokamwa. »
And it schal be, in that dai, seith the Lord, the herte of the king schal perische, and the herte of princis; and the prestis schulen wondre, and the prophetis schulen be astonyed.
10 Bongo nalobaki: « Oh Nkolo Yawe, tala ndenge okosaki bato oyo mpe Yelusalemi tango olobaki: ‹ Bokozala na kimia! › Nzokande mopanga ezalaki kozela biso. »
And Y seide, Alas! alas! alas! Lord God; therfor whether thou hast disseyued this puple and Jerusalem, seiynge, Pees schal be to you, and lo! a swerd is comun `til to the soule?
11 Na tango wana, bakoloba na bato oyo mpe na Yelusalemi: « Wuta likolo ya bangomba oyo ezali kati na esobe, mopepe moko ya makasi ezali koya epai ya bato na ngai; ezali koya te mpo na koyungola to mpo na kopetola.
In that tyme it schal be seide to this puple and to Jerusalem, A brennynge wynd in the weies that ben in desert, ben the weies of the douytir of my puple, not to wyndewe, and not to purge.
12 Ezali mopepe moko ya makasi penza, pamba te ewuti epai na ngai. Sik’oyo, ngai moko nde nazali kosambisa bango. »
A spirit ful of hem schal come to me; and now Y, but Y schal speke my domes with hem.
13 Tala! Monguna azali koya na elulu lokola mapata, bashar na ye ezali konguluma lokola mopepe ya makasi; mpunda na ye kutu eleki mpongo na mbangu. Mawa na biso! Tokufi na biso!
Lo! he schal stie as a cloude, and hise charis as a tempest; hise horsis ben swifter than eglis; wo to vs, for we ben distried.
14 Oh Yelusalemi, petola motema na yo na mabe mpo ete obikisama. Kino tango nini okotika kosala mabongisi ya mabe?
Thou Jerusalem, waische thin herte fro malice, that thou be maad saaf. Hou long schulen noiful thouytis dwelle in thee?
15 Mongongo moko ezali koyokana wuta na Dani, ezali kopanza sango ya pasi na bangomba ya Efrayimi.
For whi the vois of a tellere fro Dan, and makynge knowun an idol fro the hil of Effraym.
16 « Boloba yango na bikolo mpe botatola yango na Yelusalemi: ‹ Wuta na mboka mosika, mampinga ya banguna ezali koya, ezali koya na lokito mpo na kobundisa bingumba ya Yuda.
Reise, ye folkis; lo! it is herd in Jerusalem that keperis ben comun fro a fer lond, and yyuen her vois on the citees of Juda.
17 Ezingeli Yelusalemi lokola bakengeli bilanga, pamba te etombokelaki Ngai, › » elobi Yawe.
As the keperis of feeldis thei ben maad on it in cumpas; for it stiride me to wrathfulnesse, seith the Lord.
18 « Etamboli mpe misala na yo moko nde ememelaki yo yango. Tala, etumbu na yo ezali bololo mpe ekosala pasi makasi na motema. »
Thi weyes and thi thouytis han maad this to thee; this malice of thee, for it is bittir, for it touchide thin herte.
19 Ah ngai eh! Ah motema pasi eh! Ah! Motema na ngai ezali kobeta makasi, ezali koswa makasi kati na ngai, mpe nazali kokoka kokanga monoko te, pamba te nayoki lolaka ya kelelo mpe ya bitumba.
Mi wombe akith, my wombe akith; the wittis of myn herte ben disturblid in me. Y schal not be stille, for my soule herde the vois of a trumpe, the cry of batel.
20 Sango moko kaka ezali kotambola: libebi na libebi; mokili mobimba ekufi. Na mbalakata, bandako ya kapo ekufi-kufi, mpe ebombamelo na ngai ebebi na mbala moko.
Sorewe is clepid on sorewe, and al the lond is distried; my tabernaclis ben wastid sudeynli, my skynnes ben wastid sudeynli.
21 Kino tango nini nakomona bendele ya bitumba, mpe nakoyoka makelele ya bitumba?
Hou longe schal Y se hem that fleen, schal Y here the vois of a clarioun?
22 « Bato na Ngai bazali bazoba, bayebi Ngai te; bazali bana bazangi bososoli, bazali na mayele te, bayebi kaka kosala mabe, kasi bayebi kosala bolamu te. »
For my fonned puple knew not me; thei ben vnwise sones, and cowardis; thei ben wise to do yuels, but thei kouden not do wel.
23 Tango natalaki mabele, namonaki ete ezalaki kaka bongo-bongo mpe ezalaki ata na eloko moko te; tango natalaki likolo, namonaki ete pole ezalaki lisusu te.
Y bihelde the lond, and lo! it was void, and nouyt; and Y bihelde heuenes, and no liyt was in tho.
24 Tango natalaki bangomba, namonaki yango koningana, bangomba nyonso ya mike ezalaki kobukana.
Y siy munteyns, and lo! tho weren mouyd, and all litle hillis weren disturblid.
25 Mpe tango natalaki malamu, namonaki lisusu ata moto moko te, mpe bandeke nyonso ya likolo ekimaki.
Y lokide, and no man was, and ech brid of heuene was gon a wey.
26 Tango nakobaki kotala, namonaki ete mokili oyo ezalaki na mabele ya malamu ekomaki esobe; bingumba na yango nyonso ebebisamaki liboso ya Yawe, na kanda makasi na Ye.
Y bihelde, and lo! Carmele is forsakun, and alle citees therof ben distried fro the face of the Lord, and fro the face of the ire of his strong veniaunce.
27 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Mokili mobimba ekobebisama, kasi nakobebisa yango nyonso te.
For the Lord seith these thingis, Al the lond schal be forsakun, but netheles Y schal not make an endyng.
28 Yango wana, mokili ekozala na matanga; mpe kuna na lola, likolo ekokoma mwindo pamba te nalobaki yango, mpe nakobongola maloba na Ngai te; lokola nazwaki mokano, nakozonga lisusu sima te. »
The erthe schal mourne, and heuenys aboue schulen make sorewe, for that Y spak; Y thouyte, and it repentide not me, nether Y am turned awei fro it.
29 Bato nyonso ya engumba bakimi, kaka na makelele ya basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, mpe oyo babundaka na matolotolo. Bamoko babombami na bazamba, bamosusu bakimi na madusu ya mabanga ya bangomba; bingumba nyonso etikali lisusu na bato te, mpe ata moto moko te atikali kuna.
Ech citee fledde fro the vois of a knyyt, and of a man schetynge an arowe; thei entriden in to hard places, and stieden in to roochis of stoon; alle citees ben forsakun, and no man dwellith in tho.
30 Oh engumba ekufa, ozali kosala nini? Olati bilamba ya motane mpe babiju ya wolo; otie bonzenga na miso na yo. Ozali komikomisa kitoko na pamba, bamakangu na yo bazali kotiola yo mpe bazali koluka koboma yo.
But what schalt thou `destried do? Whanne thou schalt clothe thee with reed scarlet, whanne thou schalt be ourned with a goldun broche, and schalt anoynte thin iyen with wommans oynement, thou schalt be araied in veyn; thi louyeris han dispisid thee, thei schulen seke thi soule.
31 Nayoki makelele lokola koganga ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota, kolela ya pasi lokola mwasi oyo azali kobota mwana na ye ya liboso: ezali makelele ya kolela ya Siona, mboka kitoko; azali kolela, maboko likolo, mpe azali koloba: « Nabebi na ngai, nakomi na suka liboso ya babomi. »
For Y herd a vois as of a womman trauelynge of child, the angwischis as of a womman childynge; the vois of the douyter of Sion among hem that dien, and spreden abrood her hondis; Wo to me, for my soule failide for hem that ben slayn.
