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 against Babylon and against the land of the Chaldeans by 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. ›
Declare ye among the nations, and proclaim, and set up a standard; proclaim, and conceal not: say, Babylon is taken, Bel is confounded, Merodach is broken in pieces; her idols are confounded, her images are broken in pieces.
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 out of the north there cometh a nation against her, which shall make her land desolate, and none shall dwell in it: they shall remove, they shall depart, both man and beast.
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 in that time, saith the LORD, the children of Israel shall come, they and the children of Judah together, going and weeping: they shall go, and seek the LORD 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 shall ask the way to Zion with their faces toward it, saying, Come, and let us join ourselves 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.
My people have been lost sheep: their shepherds have caused them to go astray, they have turned them away on the mountains: they have gone from mountain to hill, they have forgotten their restingplace.
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 have devoured them: and their adversaries said, We offend not, because they have sinned against the LORD, the habitation of justice, even the LORD, the hope of their fathers.
8 Bobima mbangu na Babiloni, botika mokili ya Babiloni! Bozala lokola bantaba ya mibali oyo ezali kotambola liboso ya etonga.
Flee out of the midst of Babylon, and go forth from the land of the Chaldeans, and be as the male 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 raise and cause to come against Babylon an assembly of great nations from the north country: and they shall set themselves in array against her; from there she shall be taken: their arrows shall be as of a mighty expert man; none shall return in vain.
10 Boye, bakobotola bomengo ya Babiloni mpe bato nyonso oyo bakobotola yango bakotonda, » elobi Yawe.
And Chaldea shall be a prey: 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,
Because ye were glad, because ye rejoiced, O ye destroyers of my heritage, because ye are grown fat as the heifer at grass, and bellow as bulls;
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 shall be greatly confounded; she that bore you shall be ashamed: behold, the hindermost of the nations shall be 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 the wrath of the LORD it shall not be inhabited, but it shall be wholly desolate: every one that goeth by Babylon shall be astonished, and hiss at all her plagues.
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 array against Babylon on every side: all ye that bend the bow, shoot at her, spare no arrows: for she hath sinned against the LORD.
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 on every side: she hath given her hand: her foundations are fallen, her walls are thrown down: for it is the vengeance of the LORD: take vengeance upon her; as she hath done, do to 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: for fear of the oppressing sword they shall turn every one to his people, and they shall flee every one to his 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 scattered sheep; the lions have driven him away: first the king of Assyria hath devoured him; and last this Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon hath broken 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 thus saith the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; Behold, I will punish the king of Babylon and 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 again to his habitation, and he shall feed on Carmel and Bashan, and his soul shall be satisfied upon mount 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 in that time, saith the LORD, the iniquity of Israel shall be sought for, and there shall be none; and the sins of Judah, and they shall not be found: for I will pardon them whom I reserve.
21 Bobundisa mokili ya Meratayimi mpe bavandi ya Pekodi; bolanda bango, boboma mpe bobebisa bango nye, › elobi Yawe. ‹ Bosala makambo nyonso oyo natindi bino.
Go up against the land of Merathaim, even against it, and against the inhabitants of Pekod: waste and utterly destroy after them, saith the LORD, and do according to all that I have commanded thee.
22 Makelele ya bitumba ezali kati na mokili, lokito ya kobebisama monene!
A sound of battle is 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 the hammer of the whole earth cut asunder and broken! how is Babylon become a desolation 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 taken, O Babylon, and thou wast not aware: thou art found, and also caught, because thou hast striven 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 armoury, and hath brought forth the weapons of his indignation: for this is the work of the Lord GOD 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 utmost border, open her storehouses: cast her up as heaps, and destroy her utterly: let nothing of her be left.
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.
Slay all her bulls; let them go down to the slaughter: woe to them! for their day is come, the time of 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.
The voice of them that flee and escape from the land of Babylon, to declare in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, the vengeance of 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 it on every side; let none of them escape: recompense her according to her work; according to all that she hath done, do to her: for she hath been proud against the LORD, 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 her young men shall fall in the streets, and all her men of war shall be cut off in 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 thou most proud, saith the Lord GOD of hosts: for thy day is come, the time that I will punish thee.
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 most proud shall stumble and fall, and none shall raise him up: and I will kindle a fire in his cities, and it shall devour all 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.
Thus saith the LORD of hosts; The children of Israel and the children of Judah were oppressed together: and all that took them captives held them fast; they refused 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.
Their Redeemer is strong; the LORD of hosts is his name: he shall thoroughly plead their cause, that he may give rest to the land, and disquiet the inhabitants of Babylon.
35 Mopanga, boma bato ya Babiloni; boma bavandi ya Babiloni, boma bakambi mpe bato na yango ya bwanya, › elobi Yawe!
A sword is upon the Chaldeans, saith the LORD, and upon the inhabitants of Babylon, and upon her princes, and upon 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 is upon the liars; and they shall become fools: a sword is upon 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!
A sword is upon their horses, and upon their chariots, and upon all the mixed people that are in the midst of her; and they shall become as women: a sword is upon her treasuries; and they shall be robbed.
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 upon her waters; and they shall be dried up: for it is the land of graven images, and they are mad over their 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.
Therefore the wild beasts of the desert with the wild beasts of the isles shall dwell there, and the owls shall dwell in it: and it shall be no more inhabited for ever; neither shall it 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.
As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorrah and its neighbour cities, saith the LORD; so shall no man abide there, neither shall any son of man dwell in it.
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 shall come from the north, and a great nation, and many kings shall be raised up from the 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!
They shall hold the bow and the lance: they are cruel, and will not show mercy: their voice shall roar like the sea, and they shall ride upon horses, every one put in array, like a man to 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 became feeble: anguish took hold of him, and 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, he shall come up like a lion from the swelling of Jordan to the habitation of the strong: but I will make them suddenly run away from her: and who is a chosen man, that I may appoint over her? for who is like me? and who will appoint me the time? and who is that shepherd that will 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 taken against Babylon; and his purposes, that he hath purposed against the land of the Chaldeans: Surely the least of the flock shall draw them out: surely he shall make their habitation desolate with them.
46 Na lokito ya kokweya ya mokili ya Babiloni, mabele ekoningana; makelele na yango ekoyokana kino na bikolo mosusu.
At the noise of the taking of Babylon the earth is moved, and the cry is heard among the nations.
