Emoniseli 18
1 Sima na makambo wana, namonaki anjelu mosusu kokita wuta na Lola; azalaki na bokonzi monene, mpe nkembo na ye engengisaki mokili.
Baada jha fenu efe nambwene malaika iselela pasi kuhoma mu mabhengu. Muene ajhe ni mamlaka mabhaha, ni nchi jhamulikibhu kwa bhutukufu bhwa muene.
2 Agangaki na mongongo makasi: « Ekweyi! Ekweyi! Babiloni monene ekweyi penza! Ekomi ndako ya milimo mabe, ebombamelo ya milimo nyonso ya mbindo, ya bandeke ya mbindo mpe ya banyama ya nkele.
Alelili kwa sauti mbaha, akajobha, “Ubinili, ubinili, bhola mji mbaha Babeli! magono agha ndo sehemu jhajhitama mapepo, ni sehemu jhajhitama khila roho chafu, ni sehemu paitama khila roho chafu, ni sehemu paitama khila nchafu ni kidege Kya kidadisya.
3 Pamba te bikolo nyonso emelaki vino ya kanda ya kindumba na yango. Bakonzi ya mokili basalaki ekobo elongo na Babiloni, mpe bozwi ya bato ya mokili, oyo basalaka mombongo, emataki makasi mpo na monzele na yango, oyo elekaki ndelo. »
Kwakujha mataifa ghoha ghanywili mvinyo jha tamaa jha uasherati bha muene ambajho jhikandetela ghadhabu. Bhafalme bha nchi bhezinili naku. Bhabhomba biashara bha nchi bhajhe matajiri kwa nghofu jha maisha gha muene gha anasa.”
4 Bongo nayokaki mongongo mosusu koloba wuta na likolo: « Bino bato na ngai, bobima longwa na Babiloni mpo ete bosangana te na masumu na yango, mpe mpo ete bozwa te bitumbu oyo ekokweyela yango.
Kabhele napeliki sauti jhenge kuhoma kumbinguni jhijobha, “mubhokayi kwa muene bhanu bha nene, ili musihidi kushifiki mu dhambi sya muene, na ili musihidi kujhambelela mapigo gha muene ghoha.
5 Pamba te masumu na yango esali mipiku kino na likolo, mpe Nzambe akanisi lisusu misala na yango nyonso ya mabe.
Dhambi sya muene sikorondiki panani kama mbingu, ni K'yara aghakhombuiki matendo gha muene maovu.
6 Bosala yango ndenge kaka yango esalaki bato mosusu, bozongisela yango mbala mibale mabe oyo esalaki bino. Kati na kopo oyo ezalaki kosalela mpo na komelisa bamosusu masanga, botia masanga oyo ezali makasi mbala mibale koleka.
Mundepayi kama kya abhalepili bhamana, na mukandepayi mara sibhele kwa kya abhombili; mu kikombi kya akichangenye munchanganyilayi mara mbili kwandabha jha muene.
7 Bonyokola mpe bosala yango mabe makasi ndenge kaka emipesaki na nkembo mpe na lokumu. Pamba te emikumisaka kati na motema na yango: ‹ Navandi lokola mwasi mokonzi, nakufisa mobali te mpe nakotikala kosala matanga ata mokolo moko te. ›
Kama kyaakitukuisi muene, na atamili kwa anasa, mumpelayi malombosi ghamehele ni huzuni. Kwa kujha ijobha mu ndumbula jha muene, 'Nitamili kama malkia; Wala mjane lepi, na nibeta lepi kubhona maombolezo.'
8 Yango wana, bitumbu nyonso ekokweyela yango na mokolo moko: kufa, matanga mpe nzala. Ekozikisama na moto, pamba te Nzambe oyo apesi yango etumbu azali Nkolo-Na-Nguya.
Kwa hiyo muligono limonga mapigo gha muene ghibeta kun'sindwa: Kifu, maombolesu, ni njala. Ibetakupya ni muoto, kwa kujha Bwana K'yara ajhe ni nghofu, na ndo mhukumu ghwa muene.”
9 Tango bakonzi ya mokili, oyo bakabolaki elongo na yango bomoi na yango ya kindumba mpe ya bisengo, bakomona molinga ya engumba oyo etumbami, bakolela mpe bakoyoka mawa na tina na yango.
Bhafalme bha nchi syasihongene ni kuchanyikibhwa pamonga ni muene bhibeta kulela ni kuombolesela pabhibeta kubhubhona lyosi lya kupya kwa muene.
10 Mpo na somo ya minyoko na yango, bakotelema na mosika mpe bakoganga: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene! Mawa na yo, Babiloni, engumba ya nguya! Kobebisama na yo ezwi kaka ngonga moko pamba! ›
Bhibeta kujhema patali naku, kwa hofu jha maumivu gha muene ni kujobha, “Ole, ole kwa mji mbaha, Babeli, mji bhwa bhujhe ni nghofu! kwa lisaa limonga hukumu jha jhobhi j'hidhidili.”
11 Bongo bato ya mombongo ya mokili bakolela mpe bakosala matanga na tina na yango, pamba te moko te akosomba lisusu biloko na yango:
Bhabhomba biashara bha nchi mulelayi ni kuombolesya kwa ndabha jha muene kwakujha ajhelepi hata mmonga jhaihemela bidhaa sya muene kabhele
12 wolo, palata, mabanga ya talo, mayaka, bilamba ya lino ya kitoko, bilamba ya motane ya pete, bilamba ya swa, bilamba ya motane makasi, banzete na bango ya solo kitoko, biloko na bango oyo basala na pembe ya nzoko, biloko nyonso oyo basala na banzete ya talo, na bronze, na bibende mpe na mabanga kitoko oyo babengaka marbre;
- bidhaa sya dhahabu, fedha, maganga gha thamani, lulu, kitani jhinofu, zambarau, hariri, jhidung'u aina syoha sya mabehe jha harufu jhinofu, kila khenu kya mang'eru gha ndovu, khila ambakyo khenu kyatengenesibhu kwa mabehe gha thamani, shaba, lichuma, liganga,
13 eteni ya poso ya nzete oyo epesaka solo kitoko, biloko ya mike-mike ya solo kitoko, malasi, mire, ansa, vino, mafuta, farine, ble, bangombe, bameme, bampunda, bashar, bawumbu mpe milimo ya bato.
Mdalasini, fiungu, uvumba, manemane, ubani, mvinyo, mafuta, sembe unofu, ngano ng'ombi ni likondoo, farasi ni magari, ni bhatumwa, ni roho jha bhanu.
14 Bakoloba: ‹ Biloko oyo ozalaki kolinga mingi ekimi yo mosika; biloko nyonso oyo ezalaki kosala lolendo mpe lofundu na yo ebebi, ekotikala kozwama lisusu te! ›
Matunda gha ughanogheleghe kwa nghofu sya jhobhi ghabhokili kuhoma kwa bhebhe. Anasa sya jhobhi syoha ni mapambanu ghabhokili, ghibeta lepi kubhoneka kabhele.
15 Bato ya mombongo oyo bamonaki bomengo komata mpo ete bazalaki kotekela engumba yango biloko na bango, bakotelema na mosika mpo na somo ya pasi oyo ekokweyela yango. Bakolela mpe bakosala matanga.
Bhabhomba biashara bha fenu efe bho bhakabhili utajiri kwa mapenzi gha muene bhibeta jhema patali kuhoma kwa muene kwa ndabha jha hofu jha maumivu gha muene, bhibeta lela ni sauti jha maombolesu.
16 Bakoloba: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene, yo oyo ozalaki kolata bilamba ya lino ya kitoko, bilamba ya motane makasi, babiju ya wolo, mabanga ya talo, mpe mayaka!
Bhakajobha, “Ole, ole mji bhola mbaha bhwa bhufwekibhu kitani kinofu, zambarau, ni jhidung'u, ni kupambibhwa kwa dhahabu ni vito fya thamani ni lulu!”
17 Kaka na ngonga moko, bomengo nyonso esili! › Batambolisi nyonso ya bamasuwa, bato nyonso oyo basalaka mibembo na bamasuwa, bato oyo basalaka kati na bamasuwa mpe ba-oyo basalaka mombongo na nzela ya mayi, bakotelema na mosika.
Mu lisaa limonga utajiri bhuoha obho bhwa bhokili. Khila nahodha ghwa meli, khila baharia, ni bhoha bhamasi ni bhoha bhabhibhomba mbombo mu bahari, bhajhemili patali.
18 Wana bakomona molinga komata longwa na engumba oyo etumbami, bakoganga: ‹ Engumba nini ekokanaki na engumba monene oyo? ›
Bhalelili bho bhalibhuene lyosi lya kupya kwa muene. Bhakajobha, ndo mji bhaloki bhwiwaningana ni mji obho mbaha?”
19 Bakobwaka putulu na mito na bango, bakolela, bakosala matanga mpe bakoganga makasi: ‹ Mawa! Mawa na yo, engumba monene epai wapi bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na bamasuwa na likolo ya ebale monene bakomaki bazwi mpo na bomengo na yo! Na ngonga moko kaka, obebisami! ›
Bhataghili bhalelili, bhahomisi mahosi ni kuombolesya, “Ole, ole mji mbaha mahali poha pajhele ni meli sya bhene mu bahari bhajhele matajiri kutokani ni mali sya muene. Mu lisaa limonga bhujhangamili.”
20 Likolo, sepela na libebi na yango! Bino mpe basantu, bosepela! Bino bantoma mpe basakoli, bosepela mpe lokola! Pamba te Nzambe alongisi bino awa akateli yango etumbu. »
“Muhobhokayi panani pa muene, mbingu, muenga bhaumini, mitume ni manabii kwandabha K'yara aletili hukumu jha muenga panani pa muene!”
21 Bongo anjelu moko ya nguya akamataki libanga moko oyo ezalaki lokola libanga oyo basalelaka mpo na konika ble, abwakaki yango na ebale monene mpe alobaki: « Babiloni, engumba monene, ekobwakama ndenge wana, kaka na makasi moko wana, mpe ekomonana lisusu te.
Malaika bhenye nghofu ajhinuili liganga kama liganga libhaha lya kusyaghila ni kulitagha mu bahari, akajobha, “Kwa njela ajhe, Babeli, bhola mji mbaha bhwibeta kutaghibhwa pasi kwa ukatili na wibeta lepi kubhoneka kabhele.
22 Mindule ya babeti mandanda mpe ya bayembi, ya babeti piololo mpe babeti kelelo, ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo. Bato ya misala ya maboko ya ndenge na ndenge bakomonana lisusu te kati na yo. Makelele ya mabanga minene oyo banikelaka ble ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo.
Sauti jha finanda, bhanamuziki, bhakina filimbi, tarumbeta bhibeta lepi kup'el'eka kwa muenga kabhele.
23 Mwinda ekopela lisusu te kati na yo, mpe mongongo ya mobali mpe mwasi oyo bawuti kobalana ekoyokana lisusu te kati na yo. Makambo wana nyonso ekosalema, pamba te bato na yo ya mombongo bazalaki bato na nguya ya mokili. Okosaki bato ya bikolo nyonso na nzela ya maji na yo.
Mwanga ghwa taa wibeta lepi kuangasya mugati mwa bhebhe. Sauti jha Bwana harusi ni bibi harusi sibetalepi kupelikibhwa mugati mwa bhebhe ndabha bhabhomba biashara bha jhobhi bhajhele bhabhaha bha nchi ni bha mataifa bhakofibhu kwa uhabi bhwa jhobhi.
24 Kati na yo, emonanaki makila ya basakoli, ya basantu mpe ya bato nyonso oyo babomamaki na mokili. »
Mugati mwa muene damu jha manabii ni bhaamini jhabhonekene, ni damu jha bhoha bhabhakomibhu panani pa nchi.”
