< Jeremi 49 >

1 Na tina na bato ya Amoni: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Boni, Isalaele atikali lisusu na bana mibali te? Atikali lisusu na bakitani ya libula te? Bongo mpo na nini Moloki, nzambe ya bato ya Amoni, abotoli bingumba ya Gadi? Mpo na nini bato na ye bayei kovanda na Gadi?
Concerning the children of Ammon. Thus saith Jehovah: Hath Israel no sons? Hath he not an heir? Why then doth Milcom inherit Gad, And his people dwell in his cities?
2 Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakosala ete lokito ya bitumba eyokana mpo na kobundisa Raba, engumba ya bato ya Amoni; ekokoma esika ya mabe mpe bamboka mike na yango ekozikisama na moto. Bongo Isalaele akobengana bato oyo babenganaki ye, » elobi Yawe.
Therefore, behold, the days come, saith Jehovah, That I will cause a cry of war to be heard against Rabbah of the sons of Ammon, And she shall become a ruinous heap, And her daughters shall be burned with fire; And Israel shall take possession of their land, who took possession of his.
3 « Eshiboni, lela mpo ete Ayi ebebisami! Bino bavandi ya Raba, boganga! Bolata basaki mpe bosala matanga, bokima na bangambo nyonso ya mir, pamba te Moloki akokende na bowumbu elongo na banganga-nzambe mpe bakambi na ye.
Howl, O Heshbon, for Ai is laid waste! Cry, ye daughters of Rabbah, Gird yourselves with sackcloth, lament, And run ye to and fro within the fences! For Milcom goeth into captivity, His priests and his princes together.
4 Mpo na nini ozali komikumisa na tina na mabwaku na yo, mabwaku oyo ebotaka bambuma ebele? Oh elenge mwasi oyo otambolaka na bosembo te, ozali solo kotia motema na bomengo na yo mpe ozali koloba: ‹ Nani akobundisa ngai? ›
Wherefore dost thou glory in the valleys? Thy valley shall flow [[with blood]], O perverse daughter, That gloriest in thy treasures, [[Saying, ]] “Who shall come against me?”
5 Nakomemela yo pasi, wuta na zingazinga na yo, » elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga. « Bakomema moko na moko kati na bino na bowumbu, mpe moto ata moko te akokoka kosangisa bato oyo bakokima.
Behold, I will bring a terror upon thee, saith Jehovah of hosts, From all those that are around thee, And ye shall be driven out, every one right forth, And there shall be none to gather up the fugitives.
6 Kasi sima na mikolo, nakozongisa lisusu lokumu ya bato ya Amoni, » elobi Yawe.
But after this will I bring back the captivity of the sons of Ammon, saith Jehovah.
7 Na tina na Edomi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Boni, engumba ya Temani etikali lisusu na bato ya bwanya te? Bato ya mayele batikali lisusu na bososoli te? Boni, bwanya na bango esili penza?
Concerning the Edomites. Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Is wisdom no more in Teman? Is counsel passed away from the prudent? Is their wisdom vanished?
8 Bobaluka mpe bokima, bokende kobombama na madusu ya mabanga, bino bavandi ya engumba Dedani! Pamba te nakotindela Ezawu pasi tango nakopesa ye etumbu.
Flee ye, turn ye back, Dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Dedan! For the destruction of Esau do I bring, The time of his punishment upon him.
9 Soki bato oyo babukaka bambuma ya vino bayei epai na yo, bakotika ata mbuma moko te ya vino. Soki miyibi bayei epai na yo na butu, bakobebisa ndenge balingi.
If grape-gatherers had come upon thee, Would they not have left some gleanings? If thieves by night, They would have destroyed only till they had enough.
10 Kasi nakotika Ezawu bolumbu, mpe nakobimisa polele ebombamelo na ye, bongo akokoka lisusu komibomba te. Bana na ye ya mibali to bandeko na ye to mpe bazalani na ye bakosila kokufa; moko te akotikala na bomoi.
But I will make Esau bare; I will uncover his hiding-places, So that he shall not be able to hide himself. His offspring shall be destroyed, and his brethren, and his neighbors, And he shall be no more.
11 Tika bana bitike na yo, nakobatela bomoi na bango; mpe basi na yo, oyo bakufisa mibali bakotiela Ngai motema. »
Leave thy fatherless children, I will preserve them alive, And thy widows, let them trust in me!
12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Soki bato oyo basengeli komela kopo te bameli yango, bongo mpo na nini yo ozanga kozwa etumbu? Te, okozanga te kozwa etumbu, mpe osengeli komela kopo yango!
For thus saith Jehovah: Behold, they who ought not to have drunk the cup have deeply drunken, And shalt thou go altogether unpunished? Thou shalt not go unpunished; Thou shalt surely drink.
13 Nalapi ndayi na Kombo na Ngai, » elobi Yawe, « Botsira ekobebisama mpe ekokoma eloko ya somo, eloko ya kotiola mpe ya lisuma; mpe bingumba na yango nyonso ekobebisama mpo na libela. »
For by myself have I sworn, saith Jehovah, That Bozrah shall become an astonishment, A reproach, a desolation, and a curse; And all her cities shall be perpetual wastes.
14 Nayoki sango kowuta na Yawe; mpe batindaki ntoma moko epai ya bikolo mpo na koloba: « Bosangana mpo na kobundisa yango! Botelema mpo na bitumba!
I have heard a proclamation from Jehovah, And an ambassador hath been sent among the nations, [[Saying, ]] “Assemble yourselves, and come against her, And arise to battle!”
15 Nakokomisa yo moke kati na bikolo, ekolo ya kotiola kati na bato.
For, behold, I will make thee small among the nations, Despised among men.
16 Somo oyo bato bazali koyoka yo mpe lolendo ya motema na yo ezali kokosa yo. Yo movandi ya madusu ya mabanga, yo oyo otonga ndako na yo na basonge ya bangomba; ata soki otongi zala na yo likolo lokola mpongo, nakokweyisa yo longwa kuna kino na se, » elobi Yawe.
Thy terribleness hath deceived thee, The pride of thy heart, Because thou dwellest in the recesses of the rock, And holdest the height of the hill. Though thou set thy nest on high, like the eagle, From thence will I bring thee down, saith Jehovah.
17 « Mokili ya Edomi ekokoma eloko ya somo; moto nyonso oyo akolekela wana akokamwa mpe akoyoka somo wana akomona kobeba na yango nyonso.
And Edom shall be an astonishment: Every one that passeth by her shall be astonished, And shall hiss on account of all her plagues.
18 Ndenge Sodome mpe Gomore ebebisamaki elongo na bingumba na yango ya zingazinga, » elobi Yawe, « moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna, moko te akowumela kati na yango.
As in the overthrow of Sodom and Gomorrah, And their neighboring cities, saith Jehovah, There shall not a man abide there, Nor a son of man dwell within her.
19 Ndenge nkosi eyaka wuta na bazamba ya Yordani mpo na kokende na mapango epai wapi babokolaka bibwele, ndenge wana mpe nakobengana Edomi na mokili na yango na mbala moko; Ngai moko nakopona moto oyo akokoma mokonzi ya Edomi. Nani akokani na Ngai? Nani akoki kobeta tembe na Ngai? Mobateli bibwele nani akoki kotelema liboso na Ngai?
Behold, he [[the enemy]] cometh up like a lion from the pride of Jordan against the habitation of the rock; Suddenly will I drive him [[Edom]] thence, And him who is chosen by me will I set over her. For who is like me, Or who will summon me to trial? Or who is the shepherd that will stand up against me?
20 Yango wana, boyoka mabongisi oyo Yawe asili kosala mpo na kotelemela Edomi, mokano oyo asili kozwa mpo na kotelemela bavandi ya Temani: ‹ Bakobengana bango na lopango lokola bana mike ya etonga, akobebisa etando na bango.
Therefore, hear ye the purpose of Jehovah, Which he hath formed against Edom, And the designs which he meditateth against the inhabitants of Teman! Surely he [[the enemy]] shall drag them forth like feeble sheep; Surely he shall come upon them, And make their pastures desolate.
21 Mabele ekoningana na lokito ya kokweya na bango, makelele na yango ekoyokana kino na ebale monene ya Barozo.
At the noise of their fall the earth trembleth, Even to the Red Sea is their cry heard.
22 Tala, mpongo moko ekopumbwa mpe ekokita na elulu, etanda mapapu na yango likolo ya Botsira! Na mokolo wana, mitema ya basoda ya Edomi ekokoma lokola motema ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota. › »
Behold, like an eagle, he [[the enemy]] cometh up, And spreadeth his wings over Bozrah; And the hearts of the heroes of Edom, in that day, Shall be as the heart of a woman in her pangs.
23 Na tina ya Damasi: « Amati mpe Aripadi batondisami na soni, pamba te bayoki sango ya mabe. Mitema na bango ekomi likolo-likolo mpe bakomi komitungisa lokola ebale oyo etomboki.
Concerning Damascus. Hamath and Arpad are confounded; They faint, because they have heard evil tidings. There is anxiety at the sea; It cannot be at rest.
24 Bato ya Damasi balembi nzoto, bakomi koluka kokima mpe somo ekangi bango; kobanga mpe pasi ezwi bango lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
Damascus is faint-hearted; She turneth herself to flee; Trembling hath seized on her; Anguish and pangs have taken hold of her, as of a woman in travail.
25 Ndenge nini bosundola engumba ya lokumu boye, engumba oyo ezalaki kosepelisa motema na Ngai?
“Why is not the praised city left, The city of my joy?”
26 Solo, bilenge mibali na yango bakokweya na babalabala na yango na mokolo wana, basoda na yango ya mpiko bakokanga minoko, » elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
Yea, her young men shall fall in her streets, And all her men of war shall be cut off in that day, Saith Jehovah of hosts.
27 « Nakozikisa bamir ya Damasi na moto mpe moto yango ekozikisa bandako batonga makasi ya mokonzi Beni-Adadi. »
Yea, I will kindle a fire in the wall of Damascus, Which shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.
28 Na tina na Kedari mpe mikili ya Atsori, oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abundisaki: Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Botelema mpe bobundisa Kedari, bobebisa bato ya este.
Concerning Kedar, and concerning the kingdoms of Hazor, which Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon, smote. Thus saith Jehovah: Arise ye, go up against Kedar, And spoil the sons of the East!
29 Bobotola na makasi bandako na bango ya kapo mpe bibwele na bango; bomema bilamba, biloko na bango ya kitoko mpe bashamo na bango! Tika ete bato bawolola bango na bangambo nyonso: ‹ Somo ekangi bango na bangambo nyonso! ›
Their tents and their flocks shall they take away; They shall take to themselves their curtains, and all their furniture, and their camels, And men shall cry to them, “Terror is on every side.”
30 Bino bavandi ya Atsori, bokima na lombangu, bobombama na madusu ya mabanga, » elobi Yawe. « Pamba te Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, asaleli bino likita, asali penza mabongisi ya kosala bino mabe!
Flee, get you far off, dwell in deep places, O ye inhabitants of Hazor, saith Jehovah. For Nebuchadnezzar, the king of Babylon, meditates a design against you, And has formed a purpose against you.
31 Botelema mpe bobundisa ekolo oyo ezali na kimia, ekolo oyo ebangaka eloko moko te, » elobi Yawe, « ekolo oyo ezanga bikuke mpe banzete oyo bakangelaka bikuke, ekolo oyo bato na yango bazalaka kaka bango moko.
Arise ye, go up against a nation at ease, That dwelleth securely, saith Jehovah; Which hath neither gates nor bars; Which dwelleth alone.
32 Tika ete bashamo na bango ekoma bomengo ya bitumba, bayiba bibwele na bango ebele. Nakopanza na mopepe bavandi ya mosika, mpe nakokweyisela bango pasi longwa na bisika nyonso, » elobi Yawe.
And their camels shall be a booty, And the multitude of their cattle a spoil; And I will scatter to all the winds them that shave the cheeks, And from every side will I bring their calamity, saith Jehovah.
33 « Atsori ekokoma esika oyo mbwa ya zamba evandaka, esika oyo etikala pamba mpo na libela: moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna mpe moto moko te akowumela lisusu kati na yango. »
And Hazor shall be a dwelling for jackals, A desolation forever. There shall not a man abide there, Nor any son of man dwell therein.
34 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na Elami, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
The word of Jehovah which came to Jeremiah the prophet against Elam, in the beginning of the reign of Zedekiah, king of Judah, saying: —
35 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Tala, nakobuka tolotolo ya Elami, ebundeli oyo esalaka makasi na ye.
Thus saith Jehovah of hosts: Behold, I break the bow of Elam, The chief part of their strength.
36 Nakotindela Elami mipepe minei ya makasi, wuta na basonge minei ya lola, nakopanza bango na mokili mobimba mpe akozala na ekolo moko te oyo ekozanga koyamba bato ya Elami oyo bakokima.
And I will bring against Elam The four winds from the four extremities of the heavens, And I will scatter them to all these winds, And there shall be no nation To which the outcasts of Elam shall not come.
37 Nakosala ete bato ya Elami balenga liboso ya banguna na bango, liboso ya bato oyo bazali koluka kosala bango mabe; nakokweyisela bango pasi na kanda na Ngai, » elobi Yawe. « Nakolanda bango na mopanga kino nakosilisa koboma bango.
For I will cause Elam to be dismayed before their enemies, And before them that seek their life. And I will bring evil upon them, The fierceness of my anger, saith Jehovah. And I will send after them the sword, Until I have consumed them.
38 Nakotia Kiti na Ngai ya bokonzi kati na Elami mpe nakoboma mokonzi mpe bakalaka na yango, » elobi Yawe.
And I will set up my throne in Elam, And I will destroy from thence king and princes, saith Jehovah.
39 « Nzokande, na mikolo ekolanda, nakozongisa lokumu ya Elami, » elobi Yawe.
But it shall come to pass in future times, That I will bring back the captivity of Elam, saith Jehovah.
