Jeremi 46
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na bikolo ya bapaya:
The word of the LORD which came to Jeremiah the prophet against the Gentiles;
2 Na tina ya Ejipito: Tala maloba ya kosambisa mampinga ya Faraon Neko, mokonzi ya Ejipito, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, alongaki pene ya ebale Efrate, na Karikemishi, tango Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu minei na bokonzi:
Against Egypt, against the army of Pharaoh-necho king of Egypt, who was by the river Euphrates in Carshemish, whom Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon smote in the fourth year of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah king of Judah.
3 « Bobongisa banguba na bino: ya minene mpe ya mike, mpe bokende bitumba!
Order ye the buckler and shield, and draw near to battle.
4 Bobongisa bampunda mpe bomata na bashar! Bomitanda na milongo mpe bolata bikoti ya bitumba! Bopelisa basonge ya makonga na bino mpe bolata bibundeli!
Harness the horses; and mount, ye horsemen, and stand forth with [your] helmets; furbish the spears, [and] put on the coats of mail.
5 Nazali komona nini? Bazali kolenga na somo mpe kozonga sima; balongi basoda na bango ya mpiko, bazali kopota mbangu makasi mpe bazali ata kotala sima te: somo ekangi bango na bangambo nyonso, » elobi Yawe.
Why have I seen them dismayed [and] turned away back? and their mighty ones are beaten down, and have fled apace, and look not back: [for] fear [was] on all sides, saith the LORD.
6 « Bato ya mbangu bazali kokoka lisusu kokima te, mpe basoda ya mpiko bazali kokoka lisusu kobika te! Bazali nde kobeta mabaku mpe kokweya pembeni ya ebale Efrate, kati na etuka ya nor.
Let not the swift flee away, nor the mighty man escape! they shall stumble, and fall towards the north by the river Euphrates.
7 Nani oyo azali koya lokola ebale Nili, lokola mayi ya bibale oyo etomboki?
Who [is] this [that] cometh up as a flood, whose waters are moved as the rivers?
8 Mokili ya Ejipito ezali koya lokola ebale Nili, lokola mayi ya bibale oyo etomboki. Ejipito ezali koloba: ‹ Nakoya mpe nakotondisa mokili, nakobebisa bingumba mpe bato na yango. ›
Egypt riseth up like a flood, and [his] waters are moved like the rivers; and he saith, I will go up, [and] will cover the earth; I will destroy the city and its inhabitants.
9 Bino bampunda, bokende! Bino basoda oyo botambolaka likolo ya bashar, botambolisa mbangu! Bino basoda, bato ya Kushi mpe ya Puti, oyo bomemaka banguba, mpe bino bato ya Ludi oyo bobundaka na matolotolo, bokende liboso!
Come up, ye horses; and rage, ye chariots; and let the mighty men come forth: the Cushites and the Libyans, that handle the shield; and the Lydians that handle [and] bend the bow.
10 Ezali mokolo ya Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; mokolo ya kozongisa mabe na mabe, mpo na kozongisela banguna na yo mabe. Mopanga ekoboma kino ekotonda, kino ekosilisa posa na yango ya makila; pamba te ezali nde mbeka mpo na Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, pene ya ebale Efrate, kati na etuka ya nor.
For this [is] the day of the Lord GOD of hosts, a day of vengeance, that he may avenge him of his adversaries: and the sword shall devour, and it shall be satiated and made drunk with their blood: for the Lord GOD of hosts hath a sacrifice in the north country by the river Euphrates.
11 Oh moseka Ejipito, kende kozwa malasi kati na Galadi! Ozali kobakisa na pamba bakisi likolo ya bakisi, okobika na yo te!
Go up into Gilead, and take balm, O virgin, the daughter of Egypt: in vain shalt thou use many medicines; [for] thou shalt not be cured.
12 Bikolo ya bapaya ekoyoka sango ya soni na yo, makelele ya koganga na yo ekotondisa mabele. Soda moko akotutana na soda mosusu, mpe bango mibale bakokweya nzela moko. »
The nations have heard of thy shame, and thy cry hath filled the land: for the mighty man hath stumbled against the mighty, [and] they have fallen both together.
13 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na koya ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpo na kobundisa Ejipito:
The word that the LORD spoke to Jeremiah the prophet, how Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon should come [and] smite the land of Egypt.
14 « Loba makambo oyo na Ejipito mpe tatola yango na Migidoli; tatola yango lisusu na Mefisi mpe na Takipenesi: ‹ Bomitanda na milongo mpe bobongama, pamba te mopanga ezali koboma bato oyo bazali zingazinga na yo. ›
Declare ye in Egypt, and publish in Migdol, and publish in Noph and in Tahpanhes: say ye, Stand fast, and prepare thee; for the sword shall devour around thee.
15 Mpo na nini bamemi basoda na yo ya mpiko? Bakokaki kopika te, pamba te Yawe akweyisaki bango.
Why are thy valiant [men] swept away? they stood not, because the LORD did drive them.
16 Tango nyonso, bazali se kobeta mabaku, bazali kokweya moko likolo ya mosusu. Bazali koloba: ‹ Tika ete totelema mpe tozonga epai ya bato na biso moko mpe na mokili na biso, epai babota biso, mpo ete tobika na mopanga oyo ezali koboma. ›
He made many to fall, yes, one fell upon another: and they said, Arise, and let us go again to our own people, and to the land of our nativity, from the oppressing sword.
17 Kuna, bakokoma koganga: ‹ Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, atiaka kaka makelele ya pamba, akoki na ye makambo te! ›
They cried there, Pharaoh king of Egypt [is but] a noise; he hath passed the time appointed.
18 Lokola Ngai nazali na bomoi, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; « monguna oyo azali lokola ngomba Tabori kati na bangomba, lokola ngomba Karimeli pembeni ya ebale monene, azali koya!
[As] I live, saith the king, whose name [is] the LORD of hosts, Surely as Tabor [is] among the mountains, and as Carmel by the sea, [so] shall he come.
19 Yo movandi ya Ejipito, kanga bisaka na yo mpo na kokende na bowumbu, pamba te Mefisi ekokoma esobe, ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu na bato te!
O thou daughter dwelling in Egypt, furnish thyself to go into captivity: for Noph shall be waste and desolate without an inhabitant.
20 Mokili ya Ejipito ezali lokola mwana ngombe ya kitoko ya mwasi, kasi nzinzi ezali koya koswa yango kowuta na nor.
Egypt [is like] a very fair heifer, [but] destruction cometh; it cometh out of the north.
21 Basoda ya bapaya bazali kati na milongo na ye, bazali lokola bana ngombe ya mibali mpe ya mafuta kati na etonga. Bango mpe bakobaluka mpe bakokima nzela moko; bakokoka kolonga te, pamba te mokolo ya pasi ezali koya kokweyela bango: ezali tango ya etumbu mpo na bango.
Also her hired men [are] in the midst of her like fatted bullocks; for they also have turned back, [and] have fled away together: they did not stand, because the day of their calamity had come upon them, [and] the time of their visitation.
22 Ejipito ezali kokima, na makelele lokola nyoka, pamba te banguna na yango bazali kopusana na nguya; bazali koya kobundisa yango na bipasola lokola bato oyo bakataka banzete.
The voice thereof shall go like a serpent; for they shall march with an army, and come against her with axes, as hewers of wood.
23 Bakokata banzete nyonso ya zamba na yango, » elobi Yawe, « ata soki ezali na banzete ebele. Bazali ebele koleka mabanki, bakokoka kotanga motango na bango te.
They shall cut down her forest, saith the LORD, though it cannot be searched; because they are more than the grasshoppers, and [are] innumerable.
24 Elenge mwasi ya Ejipito akoyokisama soni, akokweya na maboko ya bato ya nor. »
The daughter of Egypt shall be confounded; she shall be delivered into the hand of the people of the north.
25 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Nakopesa etumbu epai na Amoni, na nzambe ya Tebesi, na Faraon, na Ejipito mpe na banzambe na yango, na Faraon mpe na bato oyo batiaka mitema na bango epai na ye.
The LORD of hosts, the God of Israel saith: Behold, I will punish the multitude of No, and Pharaoh, and Egypt, with their gods, and their kings; even Pharaoh, and [all] them that trust in him:
26 Nakokaba bango na maboko ya bato oyo bazali koluka kosala bango mabe, na maboko ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe na maboko ya bakonzi ya basoda na ye. Mpe na sima na tango, Ejipito ekotonda lisusu na bato oyo bakovanda kuna, ndenge ezalaki na tango ya kala, » elobi Yawe.
And I will deliver them into the hand of those that seek their lives, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and into the hand of his servants: and afterward it shall be inhabited, as in the days of old, saith the LORD.
27 « Oh Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, kobanga te! Oh Isalaele, kobanga te; nakobikisa yo solo wuta na mokili ya mosika, nabikisa bakitani na yo wuta na mokili ya bowumbu. Jakobi akozala lisusu na kimia mpe na bobatelami malamu, moto moko te akobangisa ye lisusu.
But fear not thou, O my servant Jacob, and be not dismayed, O Israel: for behold, I will save thee from afar, and thy seed from the land of their captivity; and Jacob shall return, and be in rest and at ease, and none shall make [him] afraid.
28 Oh Jakobi, mosali na Ngai, kobanga te; pamba te nazali elongo na yo, » elobi Yawe, « ata soki nabebisi bikolo nyonso epai wapi napanzaki bino, nakobebisa yo nyonso te. Nakopamela yo solo, kasi nakosala yango na bosembo; nakozanga te kopesa yo etumbu. »
Fear thou not, O Jacob my servant, saith the LORD: for I [am] with thee; for I will make a full end of all the nations whither I have driven thee: but I will not make a full end of thee, but correct thee in measure; yet will I not leave thee wholly unpunished.
