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,

It happened that Jeremiah finished proclaiming to all the people all the words of Yahweh their God that Yahweh their God had told him to say.

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.

Azariah son of Hoshaiah, Johanan son of Kareah, and all the arrogant men said to Jeremiah, “You are telling lies. Yahweh our God has not sent you to say, 'Do not go to Egypt to live 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.

For Baruch son of Neriah is inciting you against us to deliver us into the hand of the Chaldeans, for you to cause our death and to make us captives in 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 son of Kareah, all the princes of the army, and all the people refused to listen to Yahweh's voice to live 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;

Johanan son of Kareah and all the army commanders took away all the remnant of Judah who had returned from all the nations where they had been scattered to live 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.

They took the men and women, the children and the king's daughters, and every person whom Nebuzaradan, the commander of the king's bodyguards, had let remain with Gedaliah son of Ahikam son of Shaphan. They also took Jeremiah the prophet and Baruch son of Neriah.

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

They went to the land of Egypt, to Tahpanhes, because they did not listen to Yahweh's voice.

8 Wuta na Dafine, Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:

So the word of Yahweh came 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 some large stones in your hand, and, in the sight of the people of Judah, hide them in the mortar in the pavement at the entrance to Pharaoh's house in Tahpanhes.”

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.

Then say to them, “Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, 'See, I am about to send messengers to take Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon as my servant. I will place his throne over these stones that you, Jeremiah, have buried. Nebuchadnezzar will place his pavilion 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.

For he will come and attack the land of Egypt. Anyone who is assigned to death will be given to death. Anyone who is assigned to captivity will be taken captive. Anyone who is assigned to the sword will be given 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.

Then I will light a fire in the temples of Egypt's gods. Nebuchadnezzar will burn them or capture them. He will clean out the land of Egypt just as shepherds clean vermin off their clothes. He will go out from that place in victory.

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

He will break the stone pillars at Heliopolis in the land of Egypt. He will burn the temples of Egypt's gods.'”
