Jeremi 48

1 Na tina ya Moabi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Mawa na engumba Nebo, pamba te ekobebisama! Kiriatayimi ekoyokisama soni mpe bakobotola yango, ndako makasi ekoyokisama soni mpe ekobukana.

Against Moab thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Woe to Nebo! for it is spoiled: Kiriathaim is confounded and taken: Misgab is confounded and dismayed.

2 Moabi ekozala lisusu na lokumu te, bato bakosalela yango likita kati na Eshiboni mpo na kokweyisa yango: ‹ Boya, tokweyisa ekolo oyo! › Yo mpe, engumba Madimeni, okokanga monoko; mopanga ekolanda yo.

There shall be no more praise of Moab: in Heshbon they have devised evil against it; come, and let us cut it off from being a nation. Also you shall be cut down, O Madmen; the sword shall pursue you.

3 Yoka makelele oyo ezali kobima kuna na Oronayimi: ezali lokito ya bitumba mpe ya kobebisama!

A voice of crying shall be from Horonaim, spoiling and great destruction.

4 Moabi ebebisami makasi penza mpe bana na yango bazali kolela.

Moab is destroyed; her little ones have caused a cry to be heard.

5 Bazali komata na kolela, nzela-nzela mpo na kokende na Luyiti; mpe tango bazali kokita na Oronayimi, koganga ya mawa ezali koyokana mpo ete Moabi esili kobebisama.

For in the going up of Luhith continual weeping shall go up; for in the going down of Horonaim the enemies have heard a cry of destruction.

6 Bokima! Bopota mbangu mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bino; bokoma lokola nzete ya kokawuka kati na esobe!

Flee, save your lives, and be like the heath in the wilderness.

7 Lokola bozali kotia mitema na misala na bino mpe na bomengo na bino, bino mpe bokokende na bowumbu; boye Kemoshi mpe akokende na bowumbu elongo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi na ye.

For because you have trusted in your works and in your treasures, you shall also be taken: and Chemosh shall go forth into captivity with his priests and his princes together.

8 Mobebisi akoya koboma bingumba nyonso mpe ata engumba moko te ekobika; lubwaku ekobebisama, mpe etando ya likolo ya bangomba ekobebisama, pamba te Yawe alobi.

And the spoiler shall come on every city, and no city shall escape: the valley also shall perish, and the plain shall be destroyed, as the LORD has spoken.

9 Bobongisa kunda mpo na Moabi mpo ete ekobebisama solo; bingumba na yango ekotikala pamba, mpe bato bakovanda lisusu kuna te.

Give wings to Moab, that it may flee and get away: for the cities thereof shall be desolate, without any to dwell therein.

10 Tika ete moto oyo asalelaka Yawe na kozanga komipesa alakelama mabe! Tika ete moto oyo apelisaka mopanga na ye mpo ete etangisa makila alakelama mabe!

Cursed be he that does the work of the LORD deceitfully, and cursed be he that keeps back his sword from blood.

11 Moabi ezalaki na kimia wuta bolenge na yango lokola masanga ya vino oyo baningisi te, oyo babongoli na mbeki mosusu te, mpo ete etikala nanu kokende na bowumbu te. Boye, elengi na yango ebongwana te mpe solo na yango etikala kaka ndenge ya kala.

Moab has been at ease from his youth, and he has settled on his lees, and has not been emptied from vessel to vessel, neither has he gone into captivity: therefore his taste remained in him, and his scent is not changed.

12 Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakotindela Moabi bato oyo bakobongola yango lokola masanga ya vino na mbeki mosusu: bakosopa yango, bakosilisa yango na mbeki mpe bakobuka mbeki na yango.

Therefore, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will send to him wanderers, that shall cause him to wander, and shall empty his vessels, and break their bottles.

13 Boye, Moabi ekoyoka soni likolo ya Kemoshi ndenge bato ya Isalaele bayokaki soni tango batiaki mitema na Beteli.

And Moab shall be ashamed of Chemosh, as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel their confidence.

14 Ndenge nini bokoki koloba: ‹ Tozali basoda ya mpiko, bato ya makasi, bilombe ya bitumba? ›

How say you, We are mighty and strong men for the war?

15 Mokili ya Moabi ekobebisama, mpe bakobotola bingumba na yango na makasi; bilenge mibali oyo Moabi etielaka motema bakokufa na mopanga, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.

Moab is spoiled, and gone up out of her cities, and his chosen young men are gone down to the slaughter, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.

16 « Kobebisama ya Moabi ezali na nzela, pasi na yango ekoya na lombangu penza.

The calamity of Moab is near to come, and his affliction hastens fast.

17 Bino bazalani nyonso ya Moabi, bosalela ye matanga; bino bato oyo boyebi sango ya lokumu na ye, boloba: ‹ Ah, tala ndenge lingenda ya nguya, lingenda ya bokonzi ya nkembo, ebukani! ›

All you that are about him, bemoan him; and all you that know his name, say, How is the strong staff broken, and the beautiful rod!

18 Oh bato ya elenge mwasi Diboni, botika nkembo na bino mpe bovanda na esobe; pamba te moto oyo akoya kobundisa Moabi akoya mpe kobundisa bino mpe kobebisa bingumba na bino oyo batonga makasi!

You daughter that do inhabit Dibon, come down from your glory, and sit in thirst; for the spoiler of Moab shall come on you, and he shall destroy your strong holds.

19 Bino bavandi ya Aroeri, botelema na nzela mpe botala malamu, botuna mobali oyo azali kokima mpe mwasi oyo asili kobikisa bomoi na ye soki makambo nini esili kosalema!

O inhabitant of Aroer, stand by the way, and espy; ask him that flees, and her that escapes, and say, What is done?

20 Moabi ezali na soni mpo ete esili kokweya. Bolela mpe boganga, bobelela na Arinoni ete mokili ya Moabi ebebisami!

Moab is confounded; for it is broken down: howl and cry; tell you it in Arnon, that Moab is spoiled,

21 Kosambisama ekweyi na mokili ya etando ya likolo ya bangomba: na Oloni, na Yakatsi mpe na Mefati,

And judgment is come on the plain country; on Holon, and on Jahazah, and on Mephaath,

22 na Diboni, na Nebo mpe na Beti-Diblatayimi,

And on Dibon, and on Nebo, and on Bethdiblathaim,

23 na Kiriatayimi, na Beti-Gamuli mpe na Beti-Meoni,

And on Kiriathaim, and on Bethgamul, and on Bethmeon,

24 na Kerioti mpe na Botsira, na bingumba nyonso ya Moabi, ezala oyo ezali mosika to oyo ezali pene.

And on Kerioth, and on Bozrah, and on all the cities of the land of Moab, far or near.

25 Liseke ya Moabi ebukani mpe loboko na ye ekatani, » elobi Yawe.

The horn of Moab is cut off, and his arm is broken, says the LORD.

26 « Bolangwisa ye masanga, pamba te abetaki tembe na Yawe! Tala ye Moabi ndenge azali kobaluka kati na bisanza na ye! Tika ete, ye mpe, akoma eloko ya maseki!

Make you him drunken: for he magnified himself against the LORD: Moab also shall wallow in his vomit, and he also shall be in derision.

27 Boni, Isalaele azalaki eloko ya maseki te na miso na bino? Bokangaki ye kati na miyibi mpo ete bokoma koseka ye tango nyonso bokolobela kombo na ye?

For was not Israel a derision to you? was he found among thieves? for since you spoke of him, you skipped for joy.

28 Bino bavandi ya Moabi, bosundola bingumba na bino mpe bokende kovanda kati na mabanga! Bozala lokola ebenga oyo etongaka zala na yango kati na mabanga.

O you that dwell in Moab, leave the cities, and dwell in the rock, and be like the dove that makes her nest in the sides of the hole’s mouth.

29 Toyokaki sango ya lolendo ya Moabi, lolendo oyo eleka penza ndelo! Tala ndenge amatisaka mapeka! Atondi na lofundu, azali na monoko makasi, mpe motema na ye emikitisaka te.

We have heard the pride of Moab, (he is exceeding proud) his loftiness, and his arrogance, and his pride, and the haughtiness of his heart.

30 Nayebi ete monoko makasi na ye ezali kaka pamba, » elobi Yawe, « mpe lolendo na ye esalaka eloko moko te.

I know his wrath, says the LORD; but it shall not be so; his lies shall not so effect it.

31 Yango wana nazali kolela mpo na Moabi, nazali kolela mpo na Moabi nyonso; nazali kosala matanga mpo na bato ya Kiri-Eresheti.

Therefore will I howl for Moab, and I will cry out for all Moab; my heart shall mourn for the men of Kirheres.

32 Oh elanga ya vino ya Sibima, nazali kolela mpo na yo ndenge engumba Yaezeri ezali kolela! Bitape na yo epanzani kino koleka mayi monene, ekomi kino na mayi monene Yaezeri. Mobebisi akweyeli mbuma ya bilanga na yo mpe mbuma ya vino na yo.

O vine of Sibmah, I will weep for you with the weeping of Jazer: your plants are gone over the sea, they reach even to the sea of Jazer: the spoiler is fallen on your summer fruits and on your vintage.

33 Esengo mpe kosepela esili kolimwa na bilanga mpe na bazamba ya Moabi; nakawusi vino kati na bikamolelo na bango, mpe moto oyo akokamola yango na esengo azali te. Atako bato bazali koganga kasi ezali makelele ya esengo te.

And joy and gladness is taken from the plentiful field, and from the land of Moab, and I have caused wine to fail from the winepresses: none shall tread with shouting; their shouting shall be no shouting.

34 Makelele mpe koganga ezali komata wuta na Eshiboni kino na Eleale mpe Yakatsi, wuta na Tsoari kino koleka Oronayimi mpe Egilati-Shelishiya; pamba te, ezala mayi ya Nimirimi esili kokawuka.

From the cry of Heshbon even to Elealeh, and even to Jahaz, have they uttered their voice, from Zoar even to Horonaim, as an heifer of three years old: for the waters also of Nimrim shall be desolate.

35 Nakoboma bato nyonso oyo bakendaka na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe batumbaka malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe na bango, kati na mokili ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.

Moreover I will cause to cease in Moab, says the LORD, him that offers in the high places, and him that burns incense to his gods.

36 « Mpe motema na Ngai ezali kolela Moabi ndenge flite ebetaka, ezali kolela lokola flite mpo na bato ya Kiri-Eresheti. Bomengo na bango nyonso esili kobunga.

Therefore my heart shall sound for Moab like pipes, and my heart shall sound like pipes for the men of Kirheres: because the riches that he has gotten are perished.

37 Bakokoli suki ya mito ya bato nyonso, bakati moto moko na moko mandefu mpe bazokisi moto moko na moko na loboko.

For every head shall be bald, and every beard clipped: on all the hands shall be cuttings, and on the loins sackcloth.

38 Na likolo ya bandako nyonso ya Moabi mpe na bisika nyonso oyo bato balekelaka, ezali na likambo mosusu te, kaka ebembe; pamba te nabebisi Moabi lokola eloko oyo bato balingaka te, » elobi Yawe.

There shall be lamentation generally on all the housetops of Moab, and in the streets thereof: for I have broken Moab like a vessel wherein is no pleasure, says the LORD.

39 « Tala ndenge nini apanzani, tala ndenge nini bazali kolela! Ndenge nini Moabi apesi mokongo na soni! Moabi akomi eloko ya kotiola, eloko ya koyoka na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazingeli ye. »

They shall howl, saying, How is it broken down! how has Moab turned the back with shame! so shall Moab be a derision and a dismaying to all them about him.

40 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala ndenge nini mpongo ezali kokita na elulu mpe etandi mapapu na yango likolo ya Moabi.

For thus says the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

41 Bakobotola Kerioti mpe bandako na yango oyo batonga makasi. Na mokolo wana, mitema ya basoda ya mpiko ya Moabi ekokoma lokola motema ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.

Kerioth is taken, and the strong holds are surprised, and the mighty men’s hearts in Moab at that day shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.

42 Mokili ya Moabi ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu ekolo te; pamba te ebetaki tembe na Yawe.

And Moab shall be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against the LORD.

43 Somo, libulu mpe motambo ezali kozela bino bato ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.

Fear, and the pit, and the snare, shall be on you, O inhabitant of Moab, says the LORD.

44 « Moto nyonso oyo akokima somo akokweya na libulu, mpe moto nyonso oyo akobima na libulu akokangama na motambo, pamba te nakoyeisa mobu ya etumbu na mokili ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.

He that flees from the fear shall fall into the pit; and he that gets up out of the pit shall be taken in the snare: for I will bring on it, even on Moab, the year of their visitation, says the LORD.

45 « Bato oyo bazali kokima bakozanga lisungi na elili ya engumba ya Eshiboni, pamba te moto moko ewuti na Eshiboni, moto ebimi na ndako ya mokonzi Sikoni, etumbi bandako batonga makasi ya Moabi mpe mito ya bato ya lolendo.

They that fled stood under the shadow of Heshbon because of the force: but a fire shall come forth out of Heshbon, and a flame from the middle of Sihon, and shall devour the corner of Moab, and the crown of the head of the tumultuous ones.

46 Oh Moabi, mawa na yo! Bato ya Kemoshi babebisami, bana na yo ya mibali bakangami na bowumbu, mpe bana na yo ya basi bakokende na bowumbu!

Woe be to you, O Moab! the people of Chemosh perishes: for your sons are taken captives, and your daughters captives.

47 Nzokande, na mikolo ekoya, nakozongisa lokumu ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe. Kosambisama ya Moabi esuki awa.

Yet will I bring again the captivity of Moab in the latter days, says the LORD. Thus far is the judgment of Moab.
