Jeremi 43

1 Tango Jeremi asilisaki koloba na bato maloba nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bango, maloba nyonso oyo Yawe, Nzambe na bango, atindaki ye koyebisa bango,

And it came to pass, when Jeremiah had made an end of speaking to all the people all the words of Jehovah their God, for which Jehovah their God had sent him to them, even all these words,

2 Azaria, mwana mobali ya Oshaya; Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bato oyo nyonso ya lolendo balobaki na Jeremi: — Ozali koloba makambo ya lokuta! Yawe, Nzambe na biso, atindi yo te koloba na biso ete tokende te kovanda na Ejipito.

then spake Azariah, the son of Hoshaiah, and Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the proud men, saying to Jeremiah, “Thou speakest falsely; Jehovah our God hath not sent thee to say, Go not into Egypt to sojourn there;

3 Ezali Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, moto atindi yo ete okosa biso, pamba te alingi ete towumela na se ya bokonzi ya bato ya Babiloni mpo ete baboma biso to bamema biso na bowumbu na Babiloni.

but Baruch, the son of Neriah, setteth thee on against us, to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldaeans, that they may put us to death, and carry us away captive to Babylon.”

4 Boye, Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, bakonzi nyonso ya basoda mpe bato nyonso baboyaki kotosa Yawe oyo azali kosenga bango kovanda kati na mokili ya Yuda.

So Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, and all the people, obeyed not the voice of Jehovah, to remain in the land of Judah.

5 Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Karea, mpe bakonzi nyonso ya basoda bakamataki batikali nyonso ya Yuda, oyo bazongaki wuta na bikolo nyonso epai wapi bazalaki ya kopanzana, mpo na kovanda na mokili ya Yuda;

But Johanan, the son of Kareah, and all the captains of the forces, took all the remnant of Judah, who were returned from all the nations whither they had been driven to dwell in the land of Judah,

6 bamemaki lisusu mibali, basi, bana mpe bana basi ya mokonzi oyo Nebuzaradani, mokonzi ya bakengeli ya mokonzi, apesaki na maboko ya Gedalia, mwana mobali ya Ayikami, mwana mobali ya Shafani. Bamemaki mpe mosakoli Jeremi mpe Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya.

the men, and the women, and the children, and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the captain of the guard, had left with Gedaliah, the son of Ahikam, the son of Shaphan, and Jeremiah the prophet, and Baruch, the son of Neriah;

7 Boye, mpo ete batosaki Yawe te, bakendeki na Ejipito mpe bakomaki kino na Dafine.

and they went into the land of Egypt; for they obeyed not the voice of Jehovah; and they came to Tahpanhes.

8 Wuta na Dafine, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:

Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah in Tahpanhes, saying:

9 — Kamata mabanga minene mpe, na miso ya Bayuda, kunda yango na se ya mabele oyo basalelaka bikeko, mabele ya pavema oyo batonga na babiliki, na ekotelo ya ndako ya Faraon, na Dafine.

Take in thy hand great stones, and hide them in the clay in the brick-kiln which is at the entrance of the house of Pharaoh in Tahpanhes, in the sight of the men of Judah,

10 Loba na bango: « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakobengisa mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe nakotelemisa kiti na ye ya bokonzi na likolo ya mabanga oyo nasili kokunda na esika oyo; akotanda ndako na ye ya kapo ya bokonzi na likolo na yango.

and say to them: Thus saith Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: Behold, I will send, and take Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, my servant, and I will set his throne upon these stones which I have hidden, and he shall spread his royal canopy over them.

11 Akoya kobundisa Ejipito mpe akoboma bato oyo basengeli kokufa, akomema na bowumbu ba-oyo basengeli kokende na bowumbu mpe akoboma na mopanga ba-oyo basengeli kokufa na mopanga.

And he shall come and smite the land of Egypt, and deliver those that are for death to death, and those that are for captivity to captivity, and those that are for the sword to the sword.

12 Akotia moto kati na batempelo ya banzambe ya bato ya Ejipito, akotumba batempelo yango mpe akomema banzambe na bango ya bikeko na bowumbu. Akolongola bato ya Ejipito ndenge mobateli bibwele alongolaka basili na kazaka na ye, mpe akobima na kimia.

And I will kindle a fire in the houses of the gods of Egypt; and he shall burn them, and carry them away captive; and he shall wrap himself in the land of Egypt, as a shepherd wrappeth himself in his garment, and he shall go forth from thence in peace.

13 Kuna, kati na tempelo ya Eliopolisi, akobuka makonzi ya bule mpe akobebisa na moto batempelo ya banzambe ya bato ya Ejipito. › »

And he shall break in pieces the images of Bethshemesh in the land of Egypt; and the houses of the gods of Egypt shall he burn with fire.
