Jeremiah 27
1 In the beginning of the reign of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, this word came to Jeremiah from Yahweh, saying,
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi, na ebandeli ya bokonzi ya Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda:
2 Yahweh says to me: “Make bonds and bars, and put them on your neck.
Tala liloba oyo Ngai Yawe nalobi: « Sala ekangiseli na basinga mpe banzete mpe kanga yango na kingo na yo.
3 Then send them to the king of Edom, to the king of Moab, to the king of the children of Ammon, to the king of Tyre, and to the king of Sidon, by the hand of the messengers who come to Jerusalem to Zedekiah king of Judah.
Bongo tinda maloba epai ya bakonzi ya Edomi, ya Moabi, ya Amoni, ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni na nzela ya batindami oyo bayei na Yelusalemi mpo na kokutana na Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda.
4 Give them a command to their masters, saying, ‘Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel says, “You shall tell your masters:
Pesa bango sango oyo bakomemela bakonzi na bango mpe yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‘Boyebisa bakonzi na bino maloba oyo:
5 ‘I have made the earth, the men, and the animals that are on the surface of the earth by my great power and by my outstretched arm. I give it to whom it seems right to me.
Ngai nde nasalaki mabele, nasalaki bato mpe banyama nyonso oyo bazali kati na yango, na nguya monene na Ngai mpe na loboko na Ngai oyo esembolama. Napesaka mabele yango epai ya moto nyonso oyo Ngai nalingi.
6 Now I have given all these lands into the hand of Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon, my servant. I have also given the animals of the field to him to serve him.
Sik’oyo, Ngai, nakabi mikili oyo nyonso na maboko ya mosali na Ngai, Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni; nakabi mpe na maboko na ye ata banyama ya zamba mpo ete etosa ye.
7 All the nations will serve him, his son, and his son’s son, until the time of his own land comes. Then many nations and great kings will make him their bondservant.
Bikolo nyonso ekotosa ye, mwana na ye ya mobali mpe koko na ye, kino tango ya mokili na ye mpe ekokoka; bongo bikolo ebele mpe bakonzi ya nguya bakokonza ye.
8 “‘“‘It will happen that I will punish the nation and the kingdom which will not serve the same Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon, and that will not put their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon,’ says Yahweh, ‘with the sword, with famine, and with pestilence, until I have consumed them by his hand.
Soki ekolo moko to mokili moko eboyi kosalela Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, to eboyi komema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, nakopesa ekolo yango etumbu na nzela mopanga, ya nzala makasi mpe ya bokono oyo ebomaka, elobi Yawe, kino nakobebisa yango na nzela ya loboko na ye.
9 But as for you, don’t listen to your prophets, to your diviners, to your dreams, to your soothsayers, or to your sorcerers, who speak to you, saying, “You shall not serve the king of Babylon;”
Boye, boyokela te basakoli na bino, bato na bino ya soloka, bato na bino oyo balimbolaka bandoto, bato na bino oyo basololaka na bakufi, oyo bazali koloba na bino ete bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni te.
10 for they prophesy a lie to you, to remove you far from your land, so that I would drive you out, and you would perish.
Bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta, kaka mpo na komema bino mosika ya mokili na bino. Ngai nakobengana bino solo mpe bokokufa.
11 But the nation that brings their neck under the yoke of the king of Babylon and serves him, that nation I will let remain in their own land,’ says Yahweh; ‘and they will till it and dwell in it.’”’”
Kasi soki ekolo moko endimi komema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe endimi kosalela ye, nakotika ekolo yango na kimia kati na mokili na bango mpo ete basala bilanga mpe bawumela kuna, elobi Yawe.’ › »
12 I spoke to Zedekiah king of Judah according to all these words, saying, “Bring your necks under the yoke of the king of Babylon, and serve him and his people, and live.
Bongo napesaki sango kaka wana epai ya Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda: « Bomema mokumba ya ekangiseli ya mokonzi ya Babiloni mpe bosalela ye elongo na bato na ye, bongo bokobika!
13 Why will you die, you and your people, by the sword, by the famine, and by the pestilence, as Yahweh has spoken concerning the nation that will not serve the king of Babylon?
Mpo na nini bino elongo na bato na bino bokufa na mopanga, na nzala makasi mpe na bokono oyo ebomaka ndenge Yawe akataki mpo na ekolo nyonso oyo ekoboya kosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni?
14 Don’t listen to the words of the prophets who speak to you, saying, ‘You shall not serve the king of Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
Boyoka te maloba ya basakoli oyo bazali koloba na bino: ‹ Bokosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni te! › Bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta.
15 For I have not sent them,” says Yahweh, “but they prophesy falsely in my name; that I may drive you out, and that you may perish, you, and the prophets who prophesy to you.”
Natindaki bango te, » elobi Yawe, « bazali kosakola makambo ya lokuta na Kombo na Ngai. Nakobengana bino mpe bokokufa, bino mpe basakoli oyo bazali kosakola epai na bino. »
16 Also I spoke to the priests and to all this people, saying, Yahweh says, “Don’t listen to the words of your prophets who prophesy to you, saying, ‘Behold, the vessels of Yahweh’s house will now shortly be brought again from Babylon;’ for they prophesy a lie to you.
Bongo nalobaki na Banganga-Nzambe mpe na bato nyonso: « Tala makambo oyo Yawe alobi: Boyoka te basakoli na bino, oyo bazali koloba: ‹ Tala, bisalelo ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekozonga noki wuta na Babiloni. › Bazali koloba na bino makambo ya lokuta!
17 Don’t listen to them. Serve the king of Babylon, and live. Why should this city become a desolation?
Boyoka bango te! Bosalela mokonzi ya Babiloni, bongo bokobika! Mpo na nini engumba oyo ebebisama?
18 But if they are prophets, and if Yahweh’s word is with them, let them now make intercession to Yahweh of Armies, that the vessels which are left in Yahweh’s house, in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem, don’t go to Babylon.
Soki bazali solo basakoli mpe Liloba na Yawe ezali kati na bango, tika ete basambela Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpo ete bisalelo oyo etikalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi ekende na Babiloni te.
19 For Yahweh of Armies says concerning the pillars, concerning the sea, concerning the bases, and concerning the rest of the vessels that are left in this city,
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi na tina na makonzi, nzungu ya monene ya bronze, bivandelo na yango mpe bisalelo mosusu oyo etikalaki kati na engumba wana,
20 which Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon didn’t take when he carried away captive Jeconiah the son of Jehoiakim, king of Judah, from Jerusalem to Babylon, and all the nobles of Judah and Jerusalem—
bisalelo oyo Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, atikaki tango amemaki Yekonia, mwana mobali ya Yeoyakimi, mokonzi ya Yuda, na bowumbu longwa na Yelusalemi kino na Babiloni, elongo na bankumu nyonso ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi;
21 yes, Yahweh of Armies, the God of Israel, says concerning the vessels that are left in Yahweh’s house, and in the house of the king of Judah, and at Jerusalem:
tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na biloko oyo etikalaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda mpe kati na Yelusalemi:
22 ‘They will be carried to Babylon, and there they will be, until the day that I visit them,’ says Yahweh; ‘then I will bring them up, and restore them to this place.’”
‹ Bakomema yango na Babiloni, mpe ekotikala kuna kino na mokolo oyo nakolandela yango, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nakolongola yango mpe nakozongisa yango na esika oyo, elobi Yawe. › »
