Jeremi 50
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na mosakoli Jeremi na tina na Babiloni mpe bato na yango:
This is the word that Yahweh declared about Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, by the hand 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. ›
“Report to the nations and cause them to listen. Lift up a signal and cause them to listen. Do not conceal it. Say, 'Babylon is taken. Bel is made ashamed. Marduk is dismayed. Its idols are put to shame; its images are dismayed.'
3 Ekolo moko ekowuta na nor mpe ekobundisa Babiloni, ekobebisa yango, bongo moto moko te akovanda lisusu kuna; ezala bato to banyama, nyonso ekokima.
A nation from the north will arise against it, and make her land a desolation. No one will live in it; both man and beast will flee away.
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—this is Yahweh's declaration—the people of Israel and the people of Judah will come together to go with weeping and seek Yahweh their God.
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! ›
They will ask the way to Zion and will set off toward it, saying, We will go and join ourselves to Yahweh in an everlasting covenant that will 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.
My people have been a lost flock. Their shepherds have led them astray in the mountains; they have turned them around from hill to hill. They went, they forgot the place where they had lived.
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. ›
Everyone who went out to them devoured them. Their adversaries said, 'We are not guilty, because they sinned against Yahweh, their true home—Yahweh, the hope of their ancestors.'
8 Bobima mbangu na Babiloni, botika mokili ya Babiloni! Bozala lokola bantaba ya mibali oyo ezali kotambola liboso ya etonga.
Leave from the midst of Babylon; go out from the land of the Chaldeans; be like male goats that leave before the rest of the flock does.
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 see, I am about to set in motion and raise up a group of great nations from the north against Babylon. They will arrange themselves against her. Babylon will be captured from there. Their arrows are like a skilled warrior who does not return empty-handed.
10 Boye, bakobotola bomengo ya Babiloni mpe bato nyonso oyo bakobotola yango bakotonda, » elobi Yawe.
Chaldea will become plunder. All those who plunder it will be satisfied—this is Yahweh's declaration.
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,
You rejoice, you celebrate the plundering of my inheritance; you jump around like a calf stamping in its pasture; you neigh like a powerful horse.
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.
So your mother will be greatly ashamed; the one who bore you will be embarrassed. See, she will be the least of nations, a wilderness, a dry land, and a 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 Yahweh's anger, Babylon will not be inhabited, but will be a complete devastation. Everyone who passes by will shudder because of Babylon and will hiss because all of its 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.
Arrange yourselves against Babylon all around her. Everyone who bends a bow must shoot at her. Do not keep back any of your arrows, for she has sinned against Yahweh.
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.
Raise a shout against her all around! She has surrendered; her towers have fallen; her walls are torn down, for this is Yahweh's vengeance. Take vengeance on her! Do to her just as she has done!
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.
Destroy both the farmer who sows seed and the one who uses a sickle at the time of harvest in Babylon. Let each person turn back to his own people from the oppressor's sword; let them flee to their own land.
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.
Israel is a sheep scattered and driven away by lions. First the king of Assyria devoured him; then after this, Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon broke his bones.
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 Yahweh of hosts, the God of Israel, says this: See, I am about to punish the king of Babylon and his land, just as I 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.
I will restore Israel to his homeland; he will graze on Carmel and Bashan. Then he will be satisfied in the hill country of Ephraim and Gilead.
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, says Yahweh, iniquity will be looked for in Israel, but none will be found. I will inquire about the sins of Judah, but none will be found, for I will forgive the remnant that I spare.”
21 Bobundisa mokili ya Meratayimi mpe bavandi ya Pekodi; bolanda bango, boboma mpe bobebisa bango nye, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Bosala makambo nyonso oyo natindi bino.
“Arise against the land of Merathaim, against it and the ones inhabiting Pekod. Put them to the sword and set them apart for destruction—this is Yahweh's declaration—do everything that I am commanding you.
22 Makelele ya bitumba ezali kati na mokili, lokito ya kobebisama monene!
The sounds of battle and enormous destruction are in the land.
23 Ndenge nini marto oyo ezalaki kobeta mokili mobimba ebukani mpe epanzani? Ndenge nini penza Babiloni ebebisami kati na bikolo?
How the hammer of all the lands has been cut apart and destroyed. How Babylon has become a destroyed place 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 set a trap for you and you were taken, Babylon, and you did not know it! You were found and captured, because you opposed Yahweh.
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.
Yahweh has opened his armory and is bringing out the weapons for carrying out his anger. There is work for the Lord Yahweh 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.
Attack her from far away. Open her granaries and pile her up like heaps of grain. Set her apart for destruction. Leave no remnant of her.
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.
Kill all her bulls. Send them down to the place of slaughter. Woe to them, for their day has come—the time for their punishment.
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 sound of those fleeing, of those who are survivors, from the land of Babylon. These will report the vengeance of Yahweh our God for Zion, and 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.
“Summon the archers against Babylon—all those who bend their bows. Camp against her, and let no one escape. Repay her for what she has done. Do to her by the measure she has used. For she had defied Yahweh, 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.
So her young men will fall in the city squares, and all her fighting men will be destroyed on that day —this is Yahweh's declaration.”
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.
“See, I am against you, proud one—this is the declaration of the Lord Yahweh of hosts— for your day has come, proud one, the time when I will punish you.
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. ›
So the proud ones will stumble and fall. No one will raise them up. I will light a fire in their cities; it will devour everything around him.
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.
Yahweh of hosts says this: The people of Israel are oppressed, together with the people of Judah. All the ones who captured them still hold them; they refuse to let them go.
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.
The one who rescues them is strong. Yahweh of hosts is his name. He will truly plead their case, in order to bring rest to the land, and to bring strife to the ones inhabiting Babylon.
35 Mopanga, boma bato ya Babiloni; boma bavandi ya Babiloni, boma bakambi mpe bato na yango ya bwanya, › elobi Yawe!
A sword is against the Chaldeans—this is Yahweh's declaration— and against the inhabitants of Babylon, her leaders, and 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!
A sword against those who say empty words! They will become fools! A sword against her soldiers! They will be filled with terror.
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!
A sword is coming against their horses, their chariots and all of the people who are in the midst of Babylon, so they will become like women. A sword is coming against her storerooms, and they will be plundered.
38 Bokawuki, kweyela mayi na yango mpo ete ekawuka; pamba te ezali mokili ya banzambe ya bikeko, bikeko oyo epesaka bato somo!
A drought is coming on her waters, so they will become dry. For she is a land of worthless idols, and they act like people made insane by their dreadful idols.
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.
So desert beasts with the jackals will inhabit there, and the young of ostriches will live in her. For all time, she will no longer be inhabited. From generation to generation, she will not be lived in.
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.
Just as God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and their neighbors—this is Yahweh's declaration— no one will live there; no person will stay in her.”
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.
“See, a people is coming from the north; a great nation and many kings are being stirred up from the farthest parts 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!
They will pick up bows and spears. They are cruel and have no compassion. Their sound is like the sea roar, and they are riding on horses, set out in order as men for battle, against you, 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 heard the reports about them and his hands fell limp in distress. Anguish seized him like a woman giving birth.
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! He goes up like a lion from the heights of the Jordan to the enduring grazing place For I will quickly cause them to run from it, and I will put someone who will be chosen in charge of it. For who is like me, and who will summon me? What shepherd is able to resist 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.
So listen to the plans that Yahweh has decided against Babylon, the plans that he has planned against the land of the Chaldeans. They will certainly be dragged away, even the smallest flock. Their pasturelands will be turned into ruined places.
46 Na lokito ya kokweya ya mokili ya Babiloni, mabele ekoningana; makelele na yango ekoyokana kino na bikolo mosusu.
At the sound of conquered Babylon the earth shakes, and their shout of distress is heard among the nations.”
