< Jeremi 7 >
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
The woordes that came to Ieremiah from the Lord, saying,
2 « Telema na ekuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe tatola maloba oyo: ‹ Boyoka Liloba na Yawe, bino bato nyonso ya Yuda oyo bokotaka na bikuke oyo mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
Stand in the gate of the Lordes house and crie this woorde there, and say, Heare the woorde of the Lord, all yee of Iudah that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord.
3 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bobongola bizaleli mpe misala na bino, mpe Ngai nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo.
Thus sayeth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Amend your waies and your woorkes, and I will let you dwell in this place.
4 Botia motema te na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali kolobama: ‘Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe, Tempelo ya Yawe! Yawe azali awa.’
Trust not in lying woordes, saying, The Temple of the Lord, the Temple of the Lord: this is the Temple of the Lord.
5 Soki solo bobongoli bizaleli mpe misala na bino mpe bokomi kokata bino na bino makambo na bosembo;
For if you amende and redresse your waies and your woorkes: if you execute iudgement betweene a man and his neighbour,
6 soki botiki konyokola bapaya, bana bitike to basi bakufisa mibali, mpe botiki kosopa makila ya bato oyo bayebi likambo te, soki botiki kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo na nzela na yango bomibendelaka pasi,
And oppresse not the stranger, the fatherlesse and the widow and shed no innocent blood in this place, neither walke after other gods to your destruction,
7 nakotika bino ete bowumela na esika oyo, kati na mokili oyo napesaki epai ya bakoko na bino wuta kala mpe mpo na libela.
Then will I let you dwell in this place in the lande that I gaue vnto your fathers, for euer and euer.
8 Kasi botala ndenge bozali kotia motema na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali ata na litomba moko te.
Beholde, you trust in lying woordes, that can not profite.
9 Bozali koyiba, koboma bato, kosala ekobo, kolapa bandayi ya lokuta, kotumba malasi ya ansa mpo na Bala mpe kolanda banzambe mosusu oyo boyebaki te;
Will you steale, murder, and commit adulterie, and sweare falsely and burne incense vnto Baal, and walke after other gods whome yee knowe not?
10 bongo bozali koya liboso na Ngai kati na Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai, mpe bozali koloba: ‘Tobiki na biso!’ Bobiki na bino solo mpo na kosala makambo oyo nyonso ya nkele?
And come and stande before mee in this House, whereupon my Name is called, and saye, We are deliuered, though we haue done all these abominations?
11 Boni, bokomisi Tempelo oyo ebulisama mpo na Ngai ekimelo ya miyibi? Ngai nazali komona ete bozali kozwa yango bongo, elobi Yawe.
Is this House become a denne of theeues, whereupon my Name is called before your eyes? Beholde, euen I see it, sayeth the Lord.
12 Eleki malamu bokende nanu na Silo epai wapi natiaki liboso Esika na Ngai ya bule mpe botala makambo oyo nasalaki kuna mpo na mabe ya bana ya Isalaele.
But go ye nowe vnto my place which was in Shilo, where I set my Name at the beginning, and beholde, what I did to it for the wickednesse of my people Israel.
13 Lokola nazalaki kokebisa bino mbala na mbala tango bozalaki kosala makambo oyo nyonso, elobi Yawe, kasi botikalaki koyokela Ngai te; lokola nabengaki bino, kasi boyanolaki Ngai te,
Therefore nowe because yee haue done all these woorkes, sayeth the Lord, (and I rose vp earely and spake vnto you: but when I spake, yee would not heare me, neither when I called, would yee answere).
14 makambo oyo nasalaki na Silo, nakosala yango mpe sik’oyo na Ndako na Ngai, na Tempelo oyo bozali kotiela motema, esika oyo napesaki bino elongo na batata na bino.
Therefore will I do vnto this House, wherupon my Name is called, wherein also yee trust, euen vnto the place that I gaue to you and to your fathers, as I haue done vnto Shilo.
15 Nakobwaka bino mosika na Ngai ndenge nabwakaki bandeko na bino nyonso ya Efrayimi. ›
And I will cast you out of my sight, as I haue cast out all your brethren, euen the whole seede of Ephraim.
16 Bongo yo Jeremi, komeka kobondela mpo na bato oyo te, kolobela Ngai na tina na bango ata moke te, komeka kutu te kosengela bango eloko: kotungisa Ngai te, pamba te nakotikala koyokela yo te.
Therfore thou shalt not pray for this people, neither lift vp crie or praier for them neither intreat me, for I will not heare thee.
17 Boni, ozali komona te makambo oyo bazali kosala kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?
Seest thou not what they doe in the cities of Iudah and in the streetes of Ierusalem?
18 Bana bazali kolokota bakoni, batata bazali kopelisa moto, mpe basi bazali kosangisa farine mpo na kosala mapa mpo na Ishitari; bazali kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya banzambe mosusu, bongo ezali kopesa Ngai kanda.
The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knede the dough to make cakes to the Queene of heauen and to powre out drinke offrings vnto other gods, that they may prouoke me vnto anger.
19 Boni, bakanisi ete bazali kosala Ngai mabe, etuni Yawe? Te! Bazali nde komisala bango moko mabe, mpo na soni na bango moko.
Doe they prouoke me to anger, sayeth the Lord, and not themselues to the confusion of their owne faces?
20 ‹ Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Nkolo Yawe alobi: Nakopelisa kanda na Ngai ya makasi na esika oyo, likolo ya bato, ya banyama, ya banzete ya zamba mpe ya mbuma ya mabele: kanda yango ekopela lokola moto, bongo ekokufa te.
Therefore thus sayeth the Lord God, Beholde, mine anger and my wrath shall be powred vpon this place, vpon man and vpon beast, and vpon the tree of the fielde, and vpon the fruite of the grounde, and it shall burne and not bee quenched.
21 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bokoba kaka na makambo oyo bozali kosala, bobakisa mbeka na bino ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu, mpe bolia misuni yango bino moko!
Thus sayth the Lord of hostes, the God of Israel, Put your burnt offerings vnto your sacrifices, and eat the flesh.
22 Pamba te, tango nabimisaki bakoko na bino na Ejipito, nalobaki na bango likambo moko te na oyo etali mbeka ya kotumba mpe makabo mosusu.
For I spake not vnto your fathers, nor commanded them, when I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offrings and sacrifices.
23 Nzokande, napesaki bango kaka mobeko oyo: Botosa Ngai, bongo Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bino mpe bino bokozala bato na Ngai; botambola na nzela nyonso oyo nakolakisa bino mpo ete bozala bato ya esengo.
But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voyce, and I will be your God, and yee shalbe my people: and walke yee in all the wayes which I haue commanded you, that it may be well vnto you.
24 Kasi batiaki matoyi te mpo na koyoka Ngai; balandaki kaka makanisi mabe ya mitema na bango. Boye, na esika ete babonga, babebaki lisusu koleka.
But they would not obey, nor incline their eare, but went after the counsels and the stubbernesse of their wicked heart, and went backewarde and not forwarde.
25 Wuta tango batata na bino babimaki na Ejipito kino na mokolo ya lelo, natindelaka bino basali na Ngai, basakoli, tango nyonso mpe mikolo nyonso.
Since the day that your fathers came vp out of the lande of Egypt, vnto this day, I haue euen sent vnto you al my seruants the Prophets, rising vp earely euery day, and sending them.
26 Kasi bayokaki Ngai te mpe bapesaki Ngai matoyi na bango te; bazalaki kaka mito makasi mpe basalaki lisusu mabe koleka bakoko na bango. ›
Yet would they not heare me nor encline their eare, but hardened their necke and did worse then their fathers.
27 Ata oyebisi bango makambo oyo nyonso, bakotikala koyoka yo te; ata mpe obengi bango, bakoyanola te.
Therefore shalt thou speake al these words vnto them, but they will not heare thee: thou shalt also crie vnto them, but they will not answere thee.
28 Yango wana, loba na bango: ‹ Tala ekolo oyo eyokaka te maloba ya Yawe, Nzambe na yango, mpe eyokaka pamela te; solo ezali lisusu te na minoko na bango mpe elimwe penza na bibebu na bango.
But thou shalt say vnto them, This is a nation that heareth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiueth discipline: trueth is perished, and is cleane gone out of their mouth.
29 Kata suki na yo ya Naziri mpe bwaka yango, yemba nzembo ya mawa na likolo ya bangomba ekawuka, pamba te Yawe abwaki mpe asundoli bato oyo bazali na se ya kanda na Ye.
Cut off thine heare, O Ierusalem, and cast it away, and take vp a complaint on the hie places: for the Lord hath reiected and forsaken the generation of his wrath.
30 Bato ya Yuda basali mabe na miso na Ngai, elobi Yawe, batie banzambe na bango ya bikeko ya mbindo kati na Ndako na Ngai mpe bakomisi Ndako na Ngai mbindo.
For the children of Iudah haue done euill in my sight, sayth the Lord: they haue set their abominations in the House, whereupon my Name is called, to pollute it.
31 Batongi bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba, ya Tofeti, kati na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, mpo ete batumba bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi mpo na kobonza bango lokola mbeka: nzokande wana ezali likambo oyo Ngai natindaki bango te mpe natikalaki ata kokanisa yango te.
And they haue built the hie place of Topheth, which is in the valley of Ben-Hinnom to burne their sonnes and their daughters in the fire, which I commanded them not, neither came it in mine heart.
32 Yango wana, bosala keba, elobi Yawe: na mikolo ekoya, bato bakobenga lisusu te esika oyo Tofeti to Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, kasi bakobenga yango lubwaku oyo babomelaka bato, pamba te bakokunda bato na Tofeti kino tango esika ekotikala lisusu te.
Therefore beholde, the dayes come, sayeth the Lord, that it shall no more be called Topheth, nor the valley of Ben-Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall burie in Topheth til there be no place.
33 Bongo bibembe ya bato oyo ekokoma bilei ya bandeke ya likolo mpe ya banyama ya zamba; mpe moto moko te akobengana yango.
And ye carkeises of this people shalbe meat for the foules of the heauen and for the beastes of the earth, and none shall fraie them away.
34 Kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi, nakosilisa koganga ya esengo mpe ya kosepela, mongongo ya mobali ya libala mpe ya mwasi ya libala, pamba te mokili ekobeba.
Then I will cause to cease from the cities of Iudah and from the streetes of Ierusalem the voice of mirth and the voice of gladnesse, the voice of the bridegrom and the voice of the bride: for the lande shalbe desolate.
