Jeremi 51
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala, nakotinda mopepe ya makasi mpo na kobebisa mokili ya Babiloni mpe bato ya Lebi-Kamayi.
Thus says the LORD; Behold, I will raise up against Babylon, and against them that dwell in the middle of them that rise up against me, a destroying wind;
2 Nakotinda bapaya na Babiloni mpo na koyungola mpe kobebisa yango: bakobundisa yango na bangambo nyonso na mokolo na yango ya kosambisama.
And will send to Babylon fanners, that shall fan her, and shall empty her land: for in the day of trouble they shall be against her round about.
3 Basoda oyo babundaka na matolotolo bakozwa tango te ya kobeta makonga na bango; bakozwa tango te ya kolata bibombelo ya tolo, bakobikisa te basoda na bango ya bilenge mpe bakoboma mampinga na bango nyonso.
Against him that bends let the archer bend his bow, and against him that lifts himself up in his brigandine: and spare you not her young men; destroy you utterly all her host.
4 Bato oyo bakokweya na mopanga bakotondisa mokili ya Babiloni mpe babalabala na yango ekotonda na bato bazoka bapota.
Thus the slain shall fall in the land of the Chaldeans, and they that are thrust through in her streets.
5 Ata soki mokili na bango etondaki na masumu liboso ya Mosantu ya Isalaele, Nzambe na bango, Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, abosanaki Isalaele na Yuda te.
For Israel has not been forsaken, nor Judah of his God, of the LORD of hosts; though their land was filled with sin against the Holy One of Israel.
6 Bobima na Babiloni, bobikisa bomoi na bino! Soki te, bokokufa likolo ya masumu na bango. Ezali tango oyo Yawe alingi kozongisela bango mabe na mabe mpe kofuta bango ndenge ezali misala na bango.
Flee out of the middle of Babylon, and deliver every man his soul: be not cut off in her iniquity; for this is the time of the LORD’s vengeance; he will render to her a recompense.
7 Babiloni ezali lokola kopo ya wolo na loboko ya Yawe; ezalaki kolangwisa mokili mobimba. Bongo bato ya bikolo bameli masanga na yango mpe bakomi lokola bazoba.
Babylon has been a golden cup in the LORD’s hand, that made all the earth drunken: the nations have drunken of her wine; therefore the nations are mad.
8 Babiloni ekokweya na mbalakata mpe ekobukana! Bosala matanga mpo na yango mpe botia kisi na pota na yango, tango mosusu akobika.
Babylon is suddenly fallen and destroyed: howl for her; take balm for her pain, if so be she may be healed.
9 ‹ Tozalaki na posa ya kobikisa Babiloni, kasi akobika te; yango wana, tobima kati na yango mpe tokende, moto na moto na engumba na ye; pamba te esambiselo na ye ekomi kino na Lola, emati likolo lokola mapata. ›
We would have healed Babylon, but she is not healed: forsake her, and let us go every one into his own country: for her judgment reaches to heaven, and is lifted up even to the skies.
10 ‹ Yawe apesi biso etumbu! Boya totatola na Siona makambo oyo Yawe, Nzambe na biso, asali. ›
The LORD has brought forth our righteousness: come, and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.
11 Bopelisa basonge ya makonga, bokamata banguba na bino; pamba te Yawe atindi bakonzi ya Medi mpo ete mokano na Ye ezali ya kobebisa Babiloni. Yawe akozongisa mabe na mabe, akosala yango mpo na Tempelo na Ye.
Make bright the arrows; gather the shields: the LORD has raised up the spirit of the kings of the Medes: for his device is against Babylon, to destroy it; because it is the vengeance of the LORD, the vengeance of his temple.
12 Botelemisa bendele na bino liboso ya bamir ya Babiloni! Bobakisa motango ya bakengeli mpe ya basinzili, botia mitambo! Yawe akokokisa mabongisi na Ye mpe ekateli ya etumbu na Ye mpo na bato ya Babiloni.
Set up the standard on the walls of Babylon, make the watch strong, set up the watchmen, prepare the ambushes: for the LORD has both devised and done that which he spoke against the inhabitants of Babylon.
13 Yo oyo ovandaka pembeni ya bibale minene, yo oyo otonda na bomengo mingi, suka na yo ebelemi, tango na yo ya kobebisama ekoki!
O you that dwell on many waters, abundant in treasures, your end is come, and the measure of your covetousness.
14 Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alapi ndayi na Kombo na Ye moko: Solo, nakotondisa yo na bato lokola liboke ya mabanki, bongo bakobeta milolo ya elonga likolo na yo.
The LORD of hosts has sworn by himself, saying, Surely I will fill you with men, as with caterpillars; and they shall lift up a shout against you.
15 Asala mabele na nguya na Ye, alendisa mokili na bwanya na Ye mpe atanda likolo na mayele na Ye.
He has made the earth by his power, he has established the world by his wisdom, and has stretched out the heaven by his understanding.
16 Tango agangaka, mayi etiaka makelele makasi kuna na likolo, asangisaka mapata wuta na basuka ya mokili, apelisaka mikalikali, anokisaka mvula mpe abimisaka mopepe wuta na bibombelo na Ye.
When he utters his voice, there is a multitude of waters in the heavens; and he causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth: he makes lightning with rain, and brings forth the wind out of his treasures.
17 Bato nyonso bakomaka lokola bazoba, lokola bato oyo basili mayele; monyangwisi bibende na moto atikalaka na soni likolo na bikeko na ye, pamba te bikeko na ye ezalaka na yango biloko ya lokuta, ezalaka na pema te kati na yango.
Every man is brutish by his knowledge; every founder is confounded by the graven image: for his molten image is falsehood, and there is no breath in them.
18 Ezali biloko ya pamba, biloko ya kotiola; ekolimwa na tango ya kosambisama.
They are vanity, the work of errors: in the time of their visitation they shall perish.
19 Ye oyo azali libula ya Jakobi akokani na bikeko wana te, pamba te azali Mokeli ya biloko nyonso, ezala ata ekolo oyo ezali libula na Ye; Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
The portion of Jacob is not like them; for he is the former of all things: and Israel is the rod of his inheritance: the LORD of hosts is his name.
20 Ozalaki solo marto, ebundeli na Ngai ya bitumba: elongo na yo, napanzaki bikolo; elongo na yo, nabebisaki mikili;
You are my battle ax and weapons of war: for with you will I break in pieces the nations, and with you will I destroy kingdoms;
21 elongo na yo, napanzaki mpunda mpe motambolisi na yango; elongo na yo, napanzaki shar mpe motambolisi na yango;
And with you will I break in pieces the horse and his rider; and with you will I break in pieces the chariot and his rider;
22 elongo na yo, napanzaki mwasi mpe mobali; elongo na yo, napanzaki mibange mpe bilenge; elongo na yo, napanzaki bilenge mibali mpe bilenge basi;
With you also will I break in pieces man and woman; and with you will I break in pieces old and young; and with you will I break in pieces the young man and the maid;
23 elongo na yo, napanzaki babateli bibwele mpe bibwele na bango; elongo na yo, napanzaki mosali bilanga mpe bangombe na ye; elongo na yo, napanzaki bayangeli mpe bakalaka.
I will also break in pieces with you the shepherd and his flock; and with you will I break in pieces the farmer and his yoke of oxen; and with you will I break in pieces captains and rulers.
24 Nakozongisela Babiloni mpe bavandi na yango nyonso mabe nyonso oyo basalaki Siona, » elobi Yawe.
And I will render to Babylon and to all the inhabitants of Chaldea all their evil that they have done in Zion in your sight, says the LORD.
25 « Yo ngomba oyo obebisaka, yo oyo obebisaka mokili, nakotelemela yo, » elobi Yawe, « nakosembola loboko na Ngai mpo na kotelemela yo, nakokitisa yo wuta na likolo ya mabanga, mpe nakokomisa yo ngomba ezika na moto.
Behold, I am against you, O destroying mountain, says the LORD, which destroy all the earth: and I will stretch out my hand on you, and roll you down from the rocks, and will make you a burnt mountain.
26 Bakotikala lisusu te kozwa epai na yo libanga oyo batongelaka basonge ya bamir to libanga oyo batongelaka miboko; pamba te okobebisama mpo na libela, » elobi Yawe.
And they shall not take of you a stone for a corner, nor a stone for foundations; but you shall be desolate for ever, says the LORD.
27 « Botelemisa bendele kati na mokili! Bobeta kelelo kati na bikolo! Bobongisa bikolo mpo na kobundisa Babiloni, bobenga bakonzi ya basoda ya mikili ya Ararati, ya Mini mpe ya Ashikenazi mpo ete babundisa yango. Bopona mokonzi moko ya basoda mpo ete atambolisa bitumba, botinda bampunda lokola liboke ya mabanki.
Set you up a standard in the land, blow the trumpet among the nations, prepare the nations against her, call together against her the kingdoms of Ararat, Minni, and Ashchenaz; appoint a captain against her; cause the horses to come up as the rough caterpillars.
28 Bobongisa bikolo mpo na kobundisa yango: bakonzi ya Medi, bayangeli na bango mpe bakalaka na bango nyonso mpe bamboka nyonso oyo bazali kokamba.
Prepare against her the nations with the kings of the Medes, the captains thereof, and all the rulers thereof, and all the land of his dominion.
29 Mikili ezali koningana mpe kotepatepa, pamba te mikano ya Yawe mpo na Babiloni ezali kokokisama mpo na kobebisa yango mpo ete, ata moto moko te atikala kovanda lisusu kuna.
And the land shall tremble and sorrow: for every purpose of the LORD shall be performed against Babylon, to make the land of Babylon a desolation without an inhabitant.
30 Basoda ya Babiloni batiki kobunda, babombami kati na bandako batonga makasi. Makasi na bango esili, bakomi lokola basi. Bandako ya Babiloni etumbami mpe babuki bikangelo bikuke na yango.
The mighty men of Babylon have declined to fight, they have remained in their holds: their might has failed; they became as women: they have burned her dwelling places; her bars are broken.
31 Bato oyo bamemaka mikanda bazali kolandana mbangu, mpe bamemi sango bazali kolandana mbangu mpo na koyebisa mokonzi ya Babiloni ete babotoli engumba mobimba,
One post shall run to meet another, and one messenger to meet another, to show the king of Babylon that his city is taken at one end,
32 bakangi bapon mpe bibale; banzete oyo ebotaka na mayi esili na kozika moto mpe basoda bakomi na somo. »
And that the passages are stopped, and the reeds they have burned with fire, and the men of war are affrighted.
33 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Elenge mwasi Babiloni azali lokola etando ya ble na tango banyataka-nyataka yango; mpe etikali moke, tango ya kokata ble ekokoka mpo na yango.
For thus says the LORD of hosts, the God of Israel; The daughter of Babylon is like a threshing floor, it is time to thresh her: yet a little while, and the time of her harvest shall come.
34 Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abomaki biso; solo, atiaki biso na mobulu, akomisaki biso lokola mbeki ya pamba; amelaki biso ndenge nguma emelaka nyama, atondisaki libumu na ye na biloko na biso ya kitoko; mpe sima, asanzaki biso.
Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon has devoured me, he has crushed me, he has made me an empty vessel, he has swallowed me up like a dragon, he has filled his belly with my delicates, he has cast me out.
35 Tika ete mabe oyo basali biso mpe bana na biso ekweyela Babiloni, » elobi bavandi ya Siona! « Tika ete makila na biso etangama na mito ya bavandi ya Babiloni, elobi bavandi ya Yelusalemi! »
The violence done to me and to my flesh be on Babylon, shall the inhabitant of Zion say; and my blood on the inhabitants of Chaldea, shall Jerusalem say.
36 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala, nakozwa likambo na yo na maboko mpe nakozongisa mabe na bato oyo basalaki yo mabe, nakokawusa ebale na yango ya monene mpe nakokawusa maziba na yango.
Therefore thus says the LORD; Behold, I will plead your cause, and take vengeance for you; and I will dry up her sea, and make her springs dry.
37 Mokili ya Babiloni ekokoma liboke ya mabanga, ndako ya mbwa ya zamba, eloko ya somo mpe ya kotiola; bongo, bato bakovanda lisusu kuna te.
And Babylon shall become heaps, a dwelling place for dragons, an astonishment, and an hissing, without an inhabitant.
38 Bato na yango nyonso bakokoma koganga lokola nkosi ya mike mpe kolela lokola bana ya nkosi.
They shall roar together like lions: they shall yell as lions’ whelps.
39 Kasi tango bakokoma na posa makasi ya kosangisa nzoto, nakobongisela bango feti mpe nakolangwisa bango masanga mpo ete batondisama na esengo; bongo, bakolala pongi ya libela mpe bakoka lisusu kolamuka te, » elobi Yawe,
In their heat I will make their feasts, and I will make them drunken, that they may rejoice, and sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the LORD.
40 « nakomema bango ndenge bamemaka bampate to bameme ya mibali to mpe bantaba ya mibali na esika oyo babomelaka bibwele.
I will bring them down like lambs to the slaughter, like rams with he goats.
41 Ndenge nini bakangi Sheshaki! Ndenge nini basukisi lolendo ya ekolo oyo ezalaki kosala lokumu ya mokili mobimba! Ndenge nini penza Babiloni ekomi penza eloko ya somo kati na bikolo!
How is Sheshach taken! and how is the praise of the whole earth surprised! how is Babylon become an astonishment among the nations!
42 Ebale monene ekozindisa Babiloni, makelele ya bambonge na yango ekozipa mokili ya Babiloni.
The sea is come up on Babylon: she is covered with the multitude of the waves thereof.
43 Bingumba na yango ekobebisama, ekokoma lokola mokili oyo ekawuka to lokola esobe, mokili oyo bato bavandaka te, mokili epai wapi bato bayaka na mibembo te.
Her cities are a desolation, a dry land, and a wilderness, a land wherein no man dwells, neither does any son of man pass thereby.
44 Nakopesa Beli etumbu kati na Babiloni, nakobimisa ye eloko oyo ameli na monoko; ekolo moko te ekoya lisusu epai na ye mpe bamir ya Babiloni ekokweya.
And I will punish Bel in Babylon, and I will bring forth out of his mouth that which he has swallowed up: and the nations shall not flow together any more to him: yes, the wall of Babylon shall fall.
45 Oh bato na Ngai, bobima na Babiloni! Bobikisa bomoi na bino liboso ya kanda makasi ya Yawe!
My people, go you out of the middle of her, and deliver you every man his soul from the fierce anger of the LORD.
46 Bobanga te mpe bolemba nzoto te tango bokoyoka basango ya mabe kati na mokili: mobu oyo, sango ya mabe; mobu oyo elandi, sango mosusu ya mabe; kaka sango ya mobulu kati na mokili to sango ya mokonzi moko abundisi mokonzi mosusu.
And lest your heart faint, and you fear for the rumor that shall be heard in the land; a rumor shall both come one year, and after that in another year shall come a rumor, and violence in the land, ruler against ruler.
47 Pamba te tango ekoya solo, tango oyo nakopesa etumbu na banzambe ya Babiloni; mpe mokili na yango nyonso ekozala na soni, mpe bato na yango nyonso oyo bazokisa makasi na mopanga bakokufa kuna.
Therefore, behold, the days come, that I will do judgment on the graven images of Babylon: and her whole land shall be confounded, and all her slain shall fall in the middle of her.
48 Bongo likolo, mabele mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango ekoganga na esengo mpo na komona kobebisama ya Babiloni, pamba te babebisi bakobimela na nor mpo na kobundisa yango, » elobi Yawe.
Then the heaven and the earth, and all that is therein, shall sing for Babylon: for the spoilers shall come to her from the north, says the LORD.
49 « Babiloni mpe esengeli kokweya, mpo na bana ya Isalaele oyo bakufaki, ndenge kaka bato ya mokili mobimba bakufaki mpo na Babiloni.
As Babylon has caused the slain of Israel to fall, so at Babylon shall fall the slain of all the earth.
50 Bino bato oyo bobiki na mopanga, bokima, bolekisa tango te! Wuta na mokili ya mosika, bokanisa Yawe mpe Yelusalemi!
You that have escaped the sword, go away, stand not still: remember the LORD afar off, and let Jerusalem come into your mind.
51 Tosambwe, pamba te totiolami; mpe bilongi na biso ezipami na soni mpo ete bapaya bakoti kino na bisika ya bule ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
We are confounded, because we have heard reproach: shame has covered our faces: for strangers are come into the sanctuaries of the LORD’s house.
52 Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakopesa etumbu na banzambe ya Babiloni, mpe mokili mobimba ekotonda na makelele ya bato oyo bazoka bapota ya somo.
Why, behold, the days come, says the LORD, that I will do judgment on her graven images: and through all her land the wounded shall groan.
53 Ata soki mokili ya Babiloni emati kino na Lola mpe elendisi bandako na yango oyo batonga makasi, nakotindela yango bato mpo na kokweyisa yango, » elobi Yawe.
Though Babylon should mount up to heaven, and though she should fortify the height of her strength, yet from me shall spoilers come to her, says the LORD.
54 « Makelele ya koganga ekoyokana, wuta na mokili ya Babiloni, lokito makasi ya kobebisama ya mokili ya bato ya Babiloni.
A sound of a cry comes from Babylon, and great destruction from the land of the Chaldeans:
55 Pamba te Yawe akobebisa Babiloni mpe akokanga yango monoko. Lokito ya banguna ekoyokana lokola makelele ya bambonge ya bibale minene; bongo mingongo ya bato ekoyokana makasi.
Because the LORD has spoiled Babylon, and destroyed out of her the great voice; when her waves do roar like great waters, a noise of their voice is uttered:
56 Mobebisi akoya kobundisa Babiloni; bongo bakokanga basoda na yango ya mpiko mpe bakobuka matolotolo na bango, pamba te Yawe azali Nzambe oyo afutaka: afutaka kolanda misala ya moto na moto.
Because the spoiler is come on her, even on Babylon, and her mighty men are taken, every one of their bows is broken: for the LORD God of recompenses shall surely requite.
57 Nakolangwisa masanga: bakalaka mpe bato na yango ya bwanya, bayangeli, bakonzi ya basoda mpe basoda na yango ya mpiko. Bakolala pongi ya libela mpe bakolamuka lisusu te, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali: Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
And I will make drunk her princes, and her wise men, her captains, and her rulers, and her mighty men: and they shall sleep a perpetual sleep, and not wake, says the King, whose name is the LORD of hosts.
58 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: « Bamir nyonso ya milayi ya Babiloni ekokweyisama mpe bikuke na yango nyonso ya minene ekozikisama na moto; bato bazali kosala bobele mosala ya pamba mpe bato ya bikolo mosusu bazali komimonisa pasi mpo na mosala oyo ekobeba na moto. »
Thus says the LORD of hosts; The broad walls of Babylon shall be utterly broken, and her high gates shall be burned with fire; and the people shall labor in vain, and the folk in the fire, and they shall be weary.
59 Tala sango oyo mosakoli Jeremi apesaki epai ya Seraya, mwana mobali ya Neriya, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, tango akendeki na Babiloni elongo na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na mobu ya minei ya bokonzi na ye. Seraya azalaki mokonzi ya molako.
The word which Jeremiah the prophet commanded Seraiah the son of Neriah, the son of Maaseiah, when he went with Zedekiah the king of Judah into Babylon in the fourth year of his reign. And this Seraiah was a quiet prince.
60 Jeremi akomaki kati na buku pasi nyonso oyo esengelaki kokomela Babiloni. Makambo wana nyonso ekomamaki na tina na mokili ya Babiloni.
So Jeremiah wrote in a book all the evil that should come on Babylon, even all these words that are written against Babylon.
61 Jeremi alobaki na Seraya: « Tango okokoma kati na Babiloni, sala ete otanga makambo oyo nyonso na mongongo makasi.
And Jeremiah said to Seraiah, When you come to Babylon, and shall see, and shall read all these words;
62 Bongo okoloba: ‹ Oh Yawe, Yo moko nde olobaki ete okobebisa esika oyo mpo ete bato mpe bibwele bavanda lisusu awa te, kasi etikala pamba mpo na libela. ›
Then shall you say, O LORD, you have spoken against this place, to cut it off, that none shall remain in it, neither man nor beast, but that it shall be desolate for ever.
63 Tango okosilisa kotanga buku yango, kangisa yango na libanga, bwaka yango na ebale Efrate mpe loba:
And it shall be, when you have made an end of reading this book, that you shall bind a stone to it, and cast it into the middle of Euphrates:
64 ‹ Ezali boye nde Babiloni ekozinda mpe ekomata lisusu te, likolo ya pasi oyo nakotindela yango. Mpe bato na yango bakokweya. › » Maloba ya Jeremi esuki awa.
And you shall say, Thus shall Babylon sink, and shall not rise from the evil that I will bring on her: and they shall be weary. Thus far are the words of Jeremiah.
