Jeremi 44

1 Tala liloba oyo Jeremi azwaki na tina na Bayuda oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ejipito, na se ya bingumba ya Migidoli, na Dafine, na Mefisi mpe na Patrosi:

The worde that came to Ieremiah concerning all the Iewes, which dwell in the lande of Egypt, and remained at Migdol and at Tahpanhes, and at Noph, and in the coutry of Pathros, saying,

2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bomonaki pasi makasi oyo natindaki na Yelusalemi mpe na bingumba nyonso ya Yuda. Na mokolo ya lelo, etikali pamba mpe ebebisami makasi

Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Yee haue seene all the euill that I haue brought vpon Ierusalem, and vpon all the cities of Iudah: and beholde, this day they are desolate, and no man dwelleth therein,

3 likolo ya mabe oyo basalaki. Bapesaki Ngai kanda tango bakomaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosalela banzambe mosusu oyo batikalaki koyeba te, ezala bango to bino to batata na bino.

Because of their wickednes which they haue comitted, to prouoke me to anger in that they went to burne incense, and to serue other gods, who they knew not, neither they nor you nor your fathers.

4 Nzokande, nazalaki tango na tango kotinda basali na Ngai, basakoli, mpo na koloba na bino: ‹ Bosala te makambo ya nkele oyo nayinaka. ›

Howbeit I sent vnto you all my seruats the Prophets rising earely, and sending them, saying, Oh doe not this abominable thing that I hate.

5 Kasi batikalaki koyoka te mpe batosaki te; batikaki mabe na bango te mpe bakobaki kaka kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu.

But they would not heare nor incline their eare to turne from their wickednes, and to burne no more incense vnto other gods.

6 Yango wana, kanda makasi na Ngai epelaki mpe ebebisaki bingumba ya Yuda mpe babalabala ya Yelusalemi; mpe lisusu ebukaki-bukaki yango ndenge ezali komonana lelo.

Wherefore my wrath, and mine anger was powred foorth and was kindled in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, and they are desolate, and wasted, as appeareth this day.

7 Sik’oyo tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Mpo na nini bozali komimemela pasi ya makasi boye kino mokili ya Yuda ezangela mibali, basi, babebe mpe etikala lisusu ata na moto moko te?

Therefore now thus saith the Lord of hosts the God of Israel, Wherfore commit ye this great euill against your soules, to cut off from you man and woman, childe and suckling out of Iudah, and leaue you none to remaine?

8 Mpo na nini bozali kopelisa kanda na Ngai na nzela ya misala na bino ya mabe, na kotumbaka malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu ya Ejipito epai wapi bokeyi kovanda? Bino moko nde bozali komibebisa mpe komikomisa bato ya libabe mpe eloko ya kotiola kati ya bikolo nyonso ya mokili.

In that yee prouoke mee vnto wrath with the woorkes of your hands, burning incense vnto other Gods in the lande of Egypt whither yee be gone to dwell: that yee might bring destruction vnto your selues, and that ye might be a curse and a reproch among all nations of the earth.

9 Bobosani mabe oyo batata na bino, bakonzi mpe basi ya bakonzi ya Yuda basalaki? Bobosani mabe oyo bino mpe basi na bino bosalaki kati na mokili ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?

Haue yee forgotten the wickednes of your fathers, and the wickednesse of the Kings of Iudah and the wickednesse of their wiues and your owne wickednes and the wickednes of your wiues, which they haue committed in the land of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?

10 Kino lelo, bamikitisi te, batosi Ngai te, batosi mibeko mpe malako na Ngai te, oyo napesaki bino mpe batata na bino.

They are not humbled vnto this day, neither haue they feared nor walked in my lawe nor in my statutes, that I set before you and before your fathers.

11 Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Nazwi mokano ya komemela bino pasi mpe ya kobebisa mokili nyonso ya Yuda.

Therefore thus sayeth the Lord of hostes the God of Israel, Beholde, I will set my face against you to euill and to destroy all Iudah,

12 Nakokanga batikali ya Yuda, ba-oyo batingamaki koya kovanda awa na Ejipito; bango nyonso bakokufa kati na Ejipito, na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, kobanda na ye oyo aleki moke kino na ye oyo aleki monene; bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi, mpe bakobanda kotangaka kombo na bango mpo na kolakela bato mabe; bakokoma eloko ya koyoka somo, eloko ya lisuma mpe eloko ya kotiola.

And I will take the remnant of Iudah, that haue set their faces to goe into the lande of Egypt there to dwell, and they shall all bee consumed and fall in the lande of Egypt: they shall euen bee consumed by the sworde and by the famine: they shall die from the least vnto the most, by the sworde, and by the famine, and they shall be a detestation and an astonishment and a curse and a reproche.

13 Nakopesa bavandi ya Ejipito etumbu na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka, ndenge napesaki Yelusalemi etumbu.

For I will visite them that dwel in the land of Egypt, as I haue visited Ierusalem, by ye sworde, by the famine, and by the pestilence,

14 Kati na batikali ya Yuda oyo bayaki kovanda na Ejipito, moko te akobika to akotikala na bomoi, ata soki ayoki posa ya kozonga mpo na kovanda na mokili ya Yuda, bato moke kaka nde bakozonga. »

So that none of the remnant of Iudah, which are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall escape or remaine, that they shoulde returne into the land of Iudah to the which they haue a desire to returne to dwell there: for none shall returne, but such as shall escape.

15 Mibali nyonso oyo bayebaki ete basi na bango bazalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe mosusu, elongo na basi nyonso oyo bazalaki wana kati na lisanga monene mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kovanda na Ejipito ya se mpe ya likolo balobaki na Jeremi:

Then all the men which knewe that their wiues had burnt incense vnto other gods and all the women that stoode by, a great multitude, euen all the people that dwelt in the lande of Egypt in Pathros, answered Ieremiah, saying,

16 — Te! Tokoyoka te makambo oyo ozali koyebisa biso na kombo ya Yawe.

The worde that thou hast spoken vnto vs in the Name of the Lord, wee will not heare it of thee,

17 Tokosala nde makambo nyonso oyo biso tokanaki kosala: tokotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpo na Ishitari mpe tokosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino mpo na ye ndenge biso, batata na biso, bakonzi na biso mpe bakalaka na biso tosalaki kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi; mpe na tango wana, tozalaki na bilei ebele, tozalaki malamu mpe tozalaki komona pasi te.

But wee will doe whatsoeuer thing goeth out of our owne mouth, as to burne incense vnto the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, as we haue done, both we and our fathers, our Kings and our princes in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem: for then had wee plentie of vitailes and were well and felt none euill.

18 Kasi wuta kaka tango totikaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, tozangela nyonso mpe tokoma kokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi.

But since wee left off to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings vnto her, we haue had scarcenesse of all things, and haue beene consumed by the sworde and by the famine.

19 Basi babakisaki: — Kutu, tango tozalaki kotumba malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, boni, mibali na biso bayebaki te ete tozali kosala bagato na elilingi na ye mpe kosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai na ye?

And when we burnt incense to ye Queene of heauen, and powred out drinke offerings vnto her, did wee make her cakes to make her glad, and powre out drinke offerings vnto her without our husbands?

20 Bongo Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso, mibali mpe basi, oyo bapesaki ye eyano wana:

Then said Ieremiah vnto all the people, to the men, and to the women, and to all the people which had giuen him that answere, saying,

21 — Boni, bokanisi ete Yawe abosani mpe azali kokanisa lisusu te malasi ya ansa oyo botumbaki kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, bino, batata na bino, bakonzi na bino, bakalaka na bino mpe bato nyonso ya mokili?

Did not the Lord remember the incense, that yee burnt in the cities of Iudah, and in the streetes of Ierusalem, both you, and your fathers, your Kinges, and your princes, and the people of the land, and hath he not considered it?

22 Yawe akokaki lisusu te kokanga motema liboso ya misala na bino ya mabe mpe ya nkele; ezali mpo na yango nde mokili na bino ekomi elanga ya libebi, etando ebebisama, eloko ya lisuma mpe etikali lisusu na bato te, ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.

So that the Lord could no longer forbeare, because of the wickednes of your inuentions, and because of the abominations, which ye haue committed: therefore is your lande desolate and an astonishment, and a curse and without inhabitant, as appeareth this day.

23 Mpo ete botumbaki malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka mpe bosalaki masumu liboso ya Yawe, mpo ete botosaki Yawe te mpe bolandaki te Mobeko na Ye, bikateli na Ye mpe malako na Ye, yango wana pasi oyo ekomeli bino ndenge bozali komona yango lelo.

Because ye haue burnt incense and because ye haue sinned against the Lord, and haue not obeyed the voyce of the Lord, nor walked in his Lawe, nor in his statutes, nor in his testimonies, therefore this plague is come vpon you, as appeareth this day.

24 Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso mpe epai ya basi nyonso: — Bino bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bozali kati na Ejipito, boyoka Liloba na Yawe:

Moreouer Ieremiah saide vnto all the people and to all the women, Heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that are in the land of Egypt.

25 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bino mpe basi na bino, bomonisi na nzela ya misala na bino elaka oyo bopesaki tango bolobaki: « Tokokokisa solo ndayi oyo tolapaki ete tokotumba malasi ya ansa mpe tokosopa makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya Ishitari, nzambe mwasi ya bato ya Babiloni. » Bokende! Bosala ndenge bolobi mpe bokokisa ndayi na bino!

Thus speaketh the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, saying, Ye and your wiues haue both spoken with your mouthes, and fulfilled with your hande, saying, We will performe our vowes that we haue vowed to burne incense to the Queene of heauen, and to powre out drinke offerings to her: yee will perfourme your vowes and doe the things that yee haue vowed.

26 Kasi mpo na yango, boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino Bayuda nyonso oyo bozali kovanda kati na Ejipito: « Tala, nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai ya monene, » elobi Yawe, « moto moko te oyo awuta na mokili ya Yuda, bongo avandi na esika songolo ya Ejipito, akobelela to mpe akolapa ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, na koloba: ‹ Lokola Nkolo Yawe azali na bomoi! ›

Therefore heare the word of the Lord, all Iudah that dwel in the land of Egypt. Beholde, I haue sworne by my great Name, sayeth the Lord, that my Name shall no more be called vpon by the mouth of any man of Iudah, in all the lande of Egypt, saying, The Lord God liueth.

27 Pamba te nazali kolandela bango malamu mpo ete bamona pasi kasi bolamu te. Bato nyonso ya Yuda kati na Ejipito bakokufa na mopanga mpe na nzala makasi kino tango bango nyonso bakosila kobebisama.

Behold, I wil watch ouer them for euil and not for good, and all men of Iudah that are in the land of Egypt, shalbe consumed by the sword, and by the famine, vntill they be vtterly destroied.

28 Kaka ndambo moke ya bato nde ekobika na mopanga mpe ekozonga na mokili ya Yuda, wuta na Ejipito. Boye, batikali nyonso ya Yuda, ba-oyo nyonso bayaki kovanda na Ejipito, bakoyeba soki liloba ya nani nde ekokokisama: ya Ngai to ya bango.

Yet a small nomber that escape the sworde, shall returne out of the lande of Egypt into the lande of Iudah: and all the remnant of Iudah that are gone into the lande of Egypt to dwell there, shall know whose words shall stad, mine or theirs.

29 Ekozala elembo ete nakopesa bino etumbu na esika oyo, » elobi Yawe, « mpo ete boyeba solo ete pasi oyo nalakaki bino ekokokisama kaka. »

And this shall be a signe vnto you, saith the Lord, whe I visit you in this place, that ye may know that my words shall surely stand against you for euill.

30 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Nakokaba Faraon Ofira, mokonzi ya Ejipito, na maboko ya banguna na ye oyo bazali koluka bomoi na ye, ndenge kaka nakabaki Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, oyo azalaki koluka bomoi na ye. »

Thus sayth the Lord, Beholde, I will giue Pharaoh Hophra King of Egypt into the hand of his enemies, and into the hand of them that seeke his life: as I gaue Zedekiah King of Iudah into the hand of Nebuchad-nezzar King of Babel his enemie, who also sought his life.
