< 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:
And Sedekias the son of Josias reigned instead of Joakim, whom Nabuchodonosor appointed to reign over Juda.
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
And he and his servants and the people of the land listened not to the words of the Lord, which he spoke by Jeremias.
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.
And king Sedekias sent Joachal son of Selemias and Sophonias the priest son of Maasaeas to Jeremias, saying, Pray now for us to the Lord.
4 Nzokande, nazalaki tango na tango kotinda basali na Ngai, basakoli, mpo na koloba na bino: ‹ Bosala te makambo ya nkele oyo nayinaka. ›
Now Jeremias came and went through the midst of the city: for they [had] not put him into the house of the prison.
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.
And the host of Pharao was come forth out of Egypt; and the Chaldeans heard the report of them, and they went up from Jerusalem.
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.
And the word of the Lord came to Jeremias, saying,
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?
Thus said the Lord; Thus shall you say to the king of Juda who sent to you, to seek me; Behold, the army of Pharao which is come forth to help you: they shall return to the land of Egypt:
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.
and the Chaldeans themselves shall turn again, and fight against this city, and take it, and burn it with fire.
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?
For thus says the Lord; Suppose not in your hearts, saying, The Chaldeans will certainly depart from us: for they shall not depart.
10 Kino lelo, bamikitisi te, batosi Ngai te, batosi mibeko mpe malako na Ngai te, oyo napesaki bino mpe batata na bino.
And though you should strike the whole host of the Chaldeans that fight against you, and there should be left a few wounded [men], these should rise up each in his place, and burn this city with fire.
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.
And it came to pass, when the host of the Chaldeans had gone up from Jerusalem for fear of the host of Pharao,
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.
that Jeremias went forth from Jerusalem to go into the land of Benjamin, to buy thence [a property] in the midst of the people.
13 Nakopesa bavandi ya Ejipito etumbu na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka, ndenge napesaki Yelusalemi etumbu.
And he was in the gate of Benjamin, and [there was] there a man with whom he lodged, Saruia the son of Selemias, the son of Ananias; and he caught Jeremias, saying, You are fleeing to the Chaldeans.
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. »
And he said, [It is] false; I do not flee to the Chaldeans. But he listened not to him; and Saruia caught Jeremias, and brought him to the princes.
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:
And the princes were very angry with Jeremias, and struck him, and sent him into the house of Jonathan the scribe: for they had made this a prison.
16 — Te! Tokoyoka te makambo oyo ozali koyebisa biso na kombo ya Yawe.
So Jeremias came into the dungeon, and into the cells, and he remained there many days.
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.
Then Sedekias sent, and called him; and the king asked him secretly, saying, Is there a word from the Lord? and he said, There is: you shall be delivered into the hands of the king of Babylon.
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.
And Jeremias said to the king, Wherein have I wronged you, or your servants, or this people, that you put me in prison?
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 where are your prophets who prophesied to you saying, The king of Babylon shall not come against this land?
20 Bongo Jeremi alobaki na bato nyonso, mibali mpe basi, oyo bapesaki ye eyano wana:
Now therefore, my lord the king, let my supplication come before your face: and why do you send me back to the house of Jonathan the scribe? and let me not on any account die there.
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?
Then the king commanded, and they cast him into the prison, and gave him a loaf a day out of the place where they bake, until the bread failed out of the city. So Jeremias continued in the court of the prison.
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.
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.
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:
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!
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! ›
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.
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.
29 Ekozala elembo ete nakopesa bino etumbu na esika oyo, » elobi Yawe, « mpo ete boyeba solo ete pasi oyo nalakaki bino ekokokisama kaka. »
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. »
