< Jeremi 45 >
1 Tango Baruki asilisaki kokoma kati na mokanda makambo oyo Jeremi atindaki ye, na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, mosakoli Jeremi alobaki na Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, maloba oyo:
The word which he spoke Jeremiah the prophet to Baruch [the] son of Neriah when wrote he the words these on a scroll from [the] mouth of Jeremiah in the year fourth of Jehoiakim [the] son of Josiah [the] king of Judah saying.
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, azali koloba na yo Baruki:
Thus he says Yahweh [the] God of Israel to you O Baruch.
3 Olobaki: ‹ Mawa na ngai! Yawe abakisi pasi mpe minyoko na ngai; nalembi likolo ya kolela mpe nazali lisusu na kimia te! ›
You said woe! please to me for he has added Yahweh sorrow to pain my I am weary with groaning my and rest not I have found.
4 Kasi Yawe alobaki na ngai: Loba na ye: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakokweyisa biloko nyonso oyo natongaki mpe nakopikola biloko nyonso oyo nalonaki kati na mokili oyo.
Thus - you will say to him thus he says Yahweh here! [that] which I have built I [am] about to tear down and [that] which I have planted I [am] about to pluck up and all the land it.
5 Boni, olingi koluka makambo minene mpo na yo moko? Te! Koluka yango te! Pamba te nakomemela bato nyonso pasi, elobi Yawe, kasi nakobikisa yo na bisika nyonso oyo okokende. › »
And you you are seeking for yourself great [things] may not you seek [them] for here I [am] about to bring calamity on all flesh [the] utterance of Yahweh and I will give to you life your to plunder at all the places where you will go there.
