Jeremi 7
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
The word that hath been unto Jeremiah from Jehovah, 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 house of Jehovah, and thou hast proclaimed there this word, and hast said, Hear a word of Jehovah, all ye of Judah, who are coming in at these gates, to bow before Jehovah:
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 said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Amend your ways, and your doings, And I cause you to 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.’
Do not trust for yourselves Unto the words of falsehood, saying, The temple of Jehovah, the temple of Jehovah, The temple of Jehovah [are] they!
5 Soki solo bobongoli bizaleli mpe misala na bino mpe bokomi kokata bino na bino makambo na bosembo;
For, if ye do thoroughly amend your ways and your doings, If ye do judgment thoroughly Between 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,
Sojourner, fatherless, and widow, ye oppress not, And innocent blood do not shed in this place, And after other gods do not walk, for evil to yourselves,
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 I have caused you to dwell in this place, In the land that I gave to your fathers, From age even unto age.
8 Kasi botala ndenge bozali kotia motema na maloba ya lokuta oyo ezali ata na litomba moko te.
Lo, ye are trusting for yourselves On the words of falsehood, so as not to profit.
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;
Stealing, murdering, and committing adultery, And swearing to falsehood, and giving perfume to Baal, And going after other gods whom ye knew 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 ye have come in and stood before Me, In this house on which My name is called, And have said, 'We have been delivered,' In order to do 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.
A den of burglars hath this house, On which My name is called, been in your eyes? Even I, lo, I have seen, an affirmation of Jehovah.
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, I pray you, Unto My place that [is] in Shiloh, Where I caused My name to dwell at first, And see that which I have done to it, For the wickedness 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,
And now, because of your doing all these works, An affirmation of Jehovah, And I speak unto you, rising early and speaking, And ye have not hearkened, And I call you, and ye have not answered,
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.
I also to the house on which My name is called, In which ye are trusting, And to the place that I gave to you, and to your fathers, Have done, as I have done to Shiloh.
15 Nakobwaka bino mosika na Ngai ndenge nabwakaki bandeko na bino nyonso ya Efrayimi. ›
And I have cast you from before My face, As I have cast out all your brethren, The whole seed 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.
And thou dost not pray for this people, Nor lift up for them crying and prayer, Nor intercede with Me, for I hear thee not.
17 Boni, ozali komona te makambo oyo bazali kosala kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe kati na babalabala ya Yelusalemi?
Art thou not seeing what they are doing In cities of Judah, and in streets of Jerusalem?
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 sons are gathering wood, And the fathers are causing the fire to burn, And the women are kneading dough, To make cakes to the queen of the heavens, And to pour out libations to other gods, So as to provoke Me to anger.
19 Boni, bakanisi ete bazali kosala Ngai mabe, etuni Yawe? Te! Bazali nde komisala bango moko mabe, mpo na soni na bango moko.
Me are they provoking to anger? an affirmation of Jehovah, Is it not themselves, For the shame of their own 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 said the Lord Jehovah, Lo, Mine anger and My fury is poured out on this place, On man, and beast, and on tree of the field, And on fruit of the ground, And it hath burned, and it is not 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 said Jehovah of Hosts, God of Israel, Your burnt-offerings add to your sacrifices, And eat ye 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 did not speak with your fathers, Nor did I command them in the day of My bringing them out of the land of Egypt, Concerning the matters of burnt-offering and sacrifice,
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 I commanded them, saying: Hearken to My voice, And I have been to you for God, And ye — ye are to Me for a people, And have walked in all the way that I command you, So that it is well for 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.
And they have not hearkened, nor inclined their ear, And they walk in the counsels, In the stubbornness, of their evil heart, And are for backward, and not for forward.
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.
Even from the day when your fathers Went out of the land of Egypt till this day, I send to you all my servants the prophets, Daily rising early and sending,
26 Kasi bayokaki Ngai te mpe bapesaki Ngai matoyi na bango te; bazalaki kaka mito makasi mpe basalaki lisusu mabe koleka bakoko na bango. ›
And they have not hearkened unto Me, Nor inclined their ear, and harden their neck, They have done evil above their fathers.
27 Ata oyebisi bango makambo oyo nyonso, bakotikala koyoka yo te; ata mpe obengi bango, bakoyanola te.
And thou hast spoken unto them all these words, And they do not hearken to thee, And thou hast called unto them, And they do not answer 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.
And thou hast said unto them: This [is] the nation that hath not hearkened, To the voice of Jehovah its God, Nor have they accepted instruction, Perished hath stedfastness, Yea, it hath been cut off from 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 thy crown, and cast [it] away, And lift up on high places lamentation, For Jehovah hath rejected, And He leaveth 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 sons of Judah Have done the evil thing in Mine eyes, An affirmation of Jehovah, They have set their abominations in the house On which My name is called — to defile 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 have built the high places of Tophet, That [are] in the valley of the son of Hinnom, To burn their sons and their daughters with fire, Which I did not command, Nor did it come up on My 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, lo, days are coming, An affirmation of Jehovah, And it is not said any more, 'The Tophet,' And 'Valley of the son of Hinnom,' But 'Valley of the slaughter,' And they have buried in Tophet — without 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 the carcase of this people hath been for food To a fowl of the heavens, and to a beast of the earth, And there is none troubling.
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.
And I have caused to cease from cities of Judah, And from streets of Jerusalem, The voice of joy, and the voice of gladness, Voice of bridegroom, and voice of bride, For the land doth become a desolation!
