Jeremi 50
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na Babiloni mpe bato na yango:
The word that the Lord spoke concerning Babylon, concerning the land of the Chaldeans, by means of Jeremiah the prophet.
2 « Sakola mpe tatola yango kati na bikolo, telemisa bendele! Sala ete bato nyonso bayeba yango, kobomba likambo moko te! Loba: ‹ Bakobotola mokili ya Babiloni! Beli akoyokisama soni! Mariduki akobukana! Bililingi na ye ekosambwa, mpe banzambe na bango ya bikeko ekobukana. ›
Announce ye among the nations, and publish, and lift up a standard; publish, conceal not; say, Babylon is captured, Bel is put to shame, Merodach is broken in pieces; put to shame are her idols; broken in pieces are her images.
3 Ekolo moko ekowuta na nor mpe ekobundisa Babiloni, ekobebisa yango, bongo moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna; ezala bato to banyama, nyonso ekokima.
For there is come up against her a nation out of the north, which will change her land into a desert, so that there shall not be any one dwelling therein: both man and beast are fled away, they are departed.
4 Na tango wana, na mikolo wana, » elobi Yawe, « bana ya Isalaele elongo na bato ya Yuda bakokende na kolela mpo na koluka Yawe, Nzambe na bango.
In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, shall the children of Israel come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping shall they go, and the Lord their God shall they seek.
5 Bakotuna nzela oyo ememaka kino na Siona mpe bakobalola bilongi na bango na ngomba yango; bakolobana bango na bango: ‹ Boya, tika ete tokangama na Yawe na nzela ya boyokani oyo ezali na suka te, boyokani oyo tokoki kobosana te! ›
After Zion shall they ask, with their faces on the way thitherward, [saying, ] Come: and they will join themselves to the Lord in a perpetual covenant that shall not be forgotten.
6 Bato na Ngai bazalaki lokola bameme oyo ebungi nzela; babateli na bango babungisaki bango nzela, basalaki ete bayengayenga na bangomba, batambola-tambola na bangomba milayi mpe mikuse mpe babosana lopango na bango ya kopemela.
Lost sheep were my people; their shepherds had caused them to go astray, they had let them roam wildly on the mountains: from mountain to hill did they go, they forgot their resting-place.
7 Moto nyonso oyo azalaki komona bango azalaki koboma bango, banguna na bango bazalaki koloba: ‹ Tozali na biso na ngambo te, mpo ete basali masumu liboso ya Yawe oyo azali lokola lopango na bango ya bosembo; liboso ya Yawe, elikya ya batata na bango. ›
All that found them devoured them; and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the Lord, the habitation of righteousness, and the hope of their fathers, the Lord.
8 Bobima mbangu na Babiloni, botika mokili ya Babiloni! Bozala lokola bantaba ya mibali oyo ezali kotambola liboso ya etonga.
Fly away out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth out of the land of the Chaldeans, and be ye as the he-goats before the flocks.
9 Pamba te nakotelemisa mpe nakoyeisa lisanga ya bikolo ya nguya oyo ekowuta na mokili ya nor mpo na kobundisa Babiloni mpe kobotola yango wuta na nor; makonga na bango ekozala lokola makonga ya basoda ya mpiko, oyo bazangaka koboma te.
For, lo, I will awaken and cause to come up against Babylon an assemblage of great nations from the north country; and they shall set themselves in battle-array against her; from there shall she be captured: their arrows are as those of a skilful mighty one, none of which ever returneth in vain.
10 Boye, bakobotola bomengo ya Babiloni mpe bato nyonso oyo bakobotola yango bakotonda, » elobi Yawe.
And Chaldea shall be given up to spoil: all that spoil her shall be satisfied, saith the Lord.
11 « Mpo ete bozali kosepela mpe bozali na esengo, bino bato oyo bozali kobebisa libula na Ngai; mpo ete bozali kopumbwa-pumbwa lokola mwana ngombe ya mwasi oyo ezali konika ble mpe kolela lokola bampunda,
Though ye rejoice, though ye be glad, O ye plunderers of my heritage, though ye be grown fat as the heifer at grass, and neigh as stud-horses:
12 mama na bino akoyoka soni makasi; ye oyo abotaki bino akosambwa. Ekozala ekolo ya suka kati na bikolo, ekozala zelo na zelo, mabele ya kokawuka mpe esobe.
Your mother is made greatly ashamed; she that bore you is put to the blush; behold, the end of nations shall be wilderness, dry land, and desert.
13 Likolo ya kanda ya Yawe, bato bakovanda lisusu na Babiloni te mpo ete ekobebisama nye. Bato nyonso oyo bakoleka na Babiloni bakokamwa mpe bakozala na somo ya komona bapota na yango nyonso.
Because of the wrath of the Lord shall it not be inhabited, and it shall be wholly desolate: every one that passeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss over all her wounds.
14 Bino bato nyonso oyo bobundaka na matolotolo, bomitanda na molongo zingazinga ya Babiloni mpe bobeta yango makonga! Botika ata likonga moko te, pamba te Babiloni asali masumu liboso ya Yawe.
Put yourselves in battle-array against Babylon round about, all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare not the arrows: for against the Lord hath she sinned.
15 Bobetela ye lokito ya bitumba na bangambo nyonso! Ayei komitika ye moko, mpo ete bandako na ye oyo batonga makasi ekweyi, bamir na ye ebukani: ezali na lolenge oyo nde Yawe azongiseli ye mabe na mabe. Bozongisela ye makambo oyo ye asalaki bikolo mosusu.
Shout against her round about; she hath stretched out her hand: fallen are her foundations, thrown down are her walls; for it is the vengeance of the Lord; take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, so do unto her.
16 Boboma wuta na mokili ya Babiloni bato oyo basalaka bilanga mpe bato oyo basimbaka mbeli mpo na kobuka mbuma. Likolo ya mopanga ya monyokoli, tika ete moto na moto azonga na mokili na ye, tika ete moto na moto akima na mokili na ye.
Cut off the sower from Babylon, and him that handleth the sickle in the time of harvest; because of the wasting sword shall they turn about every one to his people, and every one to his own land shall they flee.
17 Isalaele azali lokola meme oyo ebungi nzela, oyo nkosi ezalaki kolanda: Mokonzi ya Asiri azalaki moto ya liboso oyo apasolaki Isalaele; Nabukodonozori, Mokonzi ya Babiloni, azalaki moto ya suka oyo abukaki ye mikuwa.
A scattered lamb is Israel; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria devoured him; and this last one broke his bones, [even] Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon.
18 Yango wana tala makambo oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Nakopesa mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe mokili na ye etumbu ndenge napesaki mokonzi ya Asiri.
Therefore thus hath said the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Behold, I will inflict punishment on the king of Babylon and on his land, as I have punished the king of Assyria.
19 Kasi nakozongisa Isalaele na lopango na ye; mpe akolia lisusu matiti ya ngomba Karimeli mpe ya Bashani. Nzala na ye ekosila na etuka ya bangomba ya Efrayimi mpe ya Galadi.
And I will bring Israel back again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan: and upon the mountain of Ephraim and Gil'ad shall his soul be satisfied.
20 Na tango wana, na mikolo wana, › elobi Yawe, ‹ bakoluka ngambo nini Isalaele amemi kasi bakomona yango te, masumu nini Yuda asali kasi bakomona yango te; pamba te nakolimbisa batikali oyo nabikisi.
In those days, and at that time, saith the Lord, shall the iniquity of Israel be sought for, and it shall not be there; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found; for I will pardon those whom I will leave remaining.
21 Bobundisa mokili ya Meratayimi mpe bavandi ya Pekodi; bolanda bango, boboma mpe bobebisa bango nye, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Bosala makambo nyonso oyo natindi bino.
Against the land of twofold rebellion—even against it go thou up, and against the inhabitants of the country of punishment: lay in ruins and utterly destroy their offspring, saith the Lord, and do in accordance with all that I have commanded thee.
22 Makelele ya bitumba ezali kati na mokili, lokito ya kobebisama monene!
A sound of battle [is heard] in the land, and of great destruction.
23 Ndenge nini marto oyo ezalaki kobeta mokili mobimba ebukani mpe epanzani? Ndenge nini penza Babiloni ebebisami kati na bikolo?
How is cut asunder and broken the hammer of all the earth! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
24 Oh Babiloni, nasili kotiela yo motambo, mpe ekangi yo liboso ete oyeba yango. Omonanaki mpe okangamaki mpo ete otelemelaki Yawe.
I have laid a snare for thee, and thou art also captured, O Babylon, while thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hadst entered into a contest against the Lord.
25 Yawe afungolaki bibundeli na Ye nyonso mpe abimisaki kati na yango bibundeli ya kanda na Ye; pamba te yango nde mosala oyo Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, asili kosala na mokili ya bato ya Babiloni.
The Lord hath opened his treasury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation; for it is a work for the Lord, the Eternal of hosts, in the land of the Chaldeans.
26 Bobimela wuta na bisika nyonso mpo na kobundisa ye, bobuka bibombelo na ye, bokangisa bomengo ya bitumba ndenge bakangisaka maboke ya ble, bobebisa yango nyonso mpe botika ata eloko moko te.
Come against her from the end of the earth, open her garners; tread her down as sheaves of corn, and destroy her utterly: let there not be left of her a remnant even.
27 Boboma bana ngombe mibali na ye nyonso; tika ete ekende na esika oyo babomelaka banyama! Mawa na bango mpo ete mokolo na bango ekoki, tango mpo na bango ya kozwa etumbu.
Destroy all her bullocks; let them go down to the slaughter: Woe unto them! for their day is come, the time of their visitation.
28 Boyoka! Tala bango bazali kokima mpe babiki wuta na mokili ya Babiloni mpo na koyebisa kati na Siona ndenge nini Yawe, Nzambe na biso, azongisi mabe na mabe; ndenge nini azongisi mabe na mabe likolo na Tempelo na Ye.
There is the voice of those that flee and escape out of the land of Babylon, to tell in Zion the vengeance of the Lord our God, the vengeance for his temple.
29 Bosangisa bato nyonso oyo babundaka na matolotolo mpo na kotelemela Babiloni; tika ete bato nyonso oyo babundaka na makonga bazingela Babiloni mobimba, basala ete ata moto moko te akima, bafuta yango ndenge ezalaki misala na yango mpe bazongisela yango makambo oyo esalaki bikolo mosusu; pamba te ebetaki tembe na Yawe, Mosantu ya Isalaele.
Call together the archers against Babylon; all ye that bend the bow, encamp against her round about; let there be no escape for her: recompense her according to her work; in accordance with all that she hath done, do unto her; for against the Lord hath she acted presumptuously, against the Holy One of Israel.
30 Yango wana, na mokolo wana, bilenge mibali na yango bakokweya na babalabala, basoda na yango nyonso ya mpiko bakokanga minoko, › elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
therefore shall her young men fall in her streets, and all her men of war shall perish on that day, saith the Lord.
31 ‹ Tala, nazali na kanda na yo, yo mboka ya lolendo, › elobi Nkolo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; ‹ pamba te mokolo na yo ekoki, tango na yo ya kozwa etumbu.
Behold, I am against thee, O presumptuous one! saith the Lord, the Eternal of hosts; for thy day is come, the time that I will visit thee [with punishment].
32 Ekolo ya lolendo ekobeta libaku mpe ekokweya, mpe moto moko te akoya kosunga yango; nakopelisa moto kati na bingumba na yango, mpe moto yango ekozikisa bato nyonso oyo bazingeli yango. ›
And the presumptuous shall stumble and fall, with none to raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all his environs.
33 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Bazali konyokola bana ya Isalaele mpe bato ya Yuda; bato nyonso oyo bakangaki bango mpe bamemaki bango na bowumbu baboyi kotika bango.
Thus hath said the Lord of hosts, The children of Israel and the children of Judah are oppressed together: and all that took them captive hold them fast; they refuse to dismiss them.
34 Nzokande, Mosikoli na bango azali na makasi, Kombo na Ye: Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga; akokotela bango na molende mpo ete amema kimia na mokili na bango mpe mobulu epai ya bavandi ya Babiloni.
Their Redeemer is strong; The Lord of hosts is his name: he will surely contend in their cause, in order that he may give rest to the land, and make the inhabitants of Babylon tremble.
35 Mopanga, boma bato ya Babiloni; boma bavandi ya Babiloni, boma bakambi mpe bato na yango ya bwanya, › elobi Yawe!
The sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the Lord, and against the inhabitants of Babylon, and against her princes, and against her wise men.
36 ‹ Mopanga, boma basakoli na yango ya lokuta; tika ete bakoma bato ya maboma! Mopanga, boma basoda na yango ya mpiko; tika ete bakoma na somo!
The sword is against the lying soothsayers, and they shall be made foolish: the sword is against her mighty men, and they shall be dismayed.
37 Mopanga, boma bampunda mpe bashar na yango, bapaya nyonso oyo bazali sima na yango mpo ete bakoma lokola basi! Mopanga, bebisa bomengo na yango mpo ete ekoma bomengo ya bitumba!
The sword is against their horses, and against their chariots, and against all the confederates that are in the midst of her, and they shall become as women: the sword is against her treasures, and they shall be plundered.
38 Bokawuki, kweyela mayi na yango mpo ete ekawuka; pamba te ezali mokili ya banzambe ya bikeko, bikeko oyo epesaka bato somo!
The drought is against her waters, and they shall be dried up; for it is the land of graven images, and with their horrid idols do they play the madman.
39 Bikelamu ya esobe mpe bambwa ya zamba ekokoma kovanda kuna; maligbanga mpe ekokoma kovanda kuna. Bato bakovanda lisusu kuna te to moto moko te akotikala kuna mpo na libela.
Therefore shall martens dwell [there] with jackals, and the ostriches shall dwell therein: and it shall be not inhabited any more for ever; and it shall not be dwelt in from generation to generation.
40 Ndenge Nzambe abebisaki Sodome mpe Gomore elongo na bingumba na yango ya zingazinga, › » elobi Yawe, « moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna, moto moko te akowumela kati na yango.
Like the overthrow by God of Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors, saith the Lord, so shall no man dwell there, nor shall any son of man sojourn therein.
41 Tala, mampinga moko ya basoda ezali koya wuta na nor, ekolo moko monene mpe bakonzi ebele bazali komibongisa mpo na bitumba wuta na basuka ya mabele.
Behold, a people cometh from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be awakened from the farthest ends of the earth.
42 Basimbi matolotolo mpe makonga, bazali bato na kanza mpe bazanga mawa, bazali koganga lokola makelele ya ebale monene, bamati likolo ya bampunda, batandami na milongo lokola basoda mpo na kobundisa yo Babiloni, mboka kitoko!
Bow and lance do they firmly grasp; they are cruel, and show not any mercy; their voice roareth like the sea, and upon horses do they ride, placed in array, like one man, for the battle, against thee, O daughter of Babylon.
43 Tango mokonzi ya Babiloni ayokaki sango na tina bango, alembaki nzoto, somo makasi ekangaki ye mpe akomaki na pasi lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
The king of Babylon hath heard the report of them, and his hands are grown feeble: anguish hath taken fast hold of him, pangs as of a woman in travail.
44 Ndenge nkosi eyaka wuta na bazamba ya Yordani mpo na kokende na mapango epai wapi babokolaka bibwele, ndenge wana mpe nakobengana Babiloni na mokili na yango na mbala moko; Ngai moko nakopona moto oyo akokoma mokonzi ya Babiloni. Nani akokani na Ngai? Nani akoki kobeta tembe na Ngai? Mobateli bibwele nani akoki kotelema liboso na Ngai? »
Behold, like a lion shall he come up from the overflow of the Jordan unto the strong habitation; for I will hasten them [and] make them suddenly prevail over her, and him who is chosen will I array against her; for who like me? and who will challenge me to battle? and who is that shepherd that can stand before me?
45 Yango wana, boyoka mabongisi oyo Yawe asili kosala mpo na Babiloni, mokano oyo asili kozwa mpo na kotelemela mokili ya bato ya Babiloni: Bakobengana bango na lopango lokola bana mike ya etonga, akobebisa etando na bango.
Therefore hear ye the counsel of the Lord, that he hath resolved against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath devised against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall drag them away; surely he will devastate over them their habitation.
46 Na lokito ya kokweya ya mokili ya Babiloni, mabele ekoningana; makelele na yango ekoyokana kino na bikolo mosusu.
At the noise of the conquest of Babylon the earth quaketh, and the outcry is heard among the nations.
