< Jeremi 33 >

1 Yawe alobaki na Jeremi, na mbala ya mibale, wana azalaki nanu ya kokangama kati na boloko oyo ezalaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli:
Then the word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah a second time, while he was still shut within the courtyard of the guard, saying,
2 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Ye oyo akela mabele, oyo abongisa yango malamu mpe alendisa yango, oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, alobi:
“Yahweh the maker, says this—Yahweh, who forms in order to establish—Yahweh is his name,
3 ‹ Belela Ngai, mpe Ngai nakoyanola yo, nakoyebisa yo makambo minene mpe mabombami oyo oyebi te. ›
'Call to me, and I will answer you. I will demonstrate great things to you, mysteries that you do not understand.'
4 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na bandako ya engumba oyo mpe ya bandako ya bakonzi ya Yuda, oyo babukaki mpo na kotelemela bangomba mike ya kokimela mpe mopanga ya monguna
For Yahweh, God of Israel, says this concerning the houses in this city and the houses of the kings of Judah that are torn down because of the siege ramps and the sword,
5 kati na etumba na bato ya Babiloni: ‹ Bandako yango ekotonda na bibembe ya bato oyo nakoboma na nguya ya kotomboka mpe ya kanda na Ngai. Nakobombela engumba oyo elongi na Ngai likolo ya mabe na yango nyonso.
'The Chaldeans are coming to fight and to fill the houses with corpses of people whom I will kill in my wrath and fury, when I hide my face from this city because of all their wickedness.
6 Kasi nakoyeisa bato na yango nzoto kolongono mpe nakobikisa bango; solo, nakobikisa bato na Ngai mpe nakopesa bango bomoi ya kimia kati na bobatelami.
But see, I am about to bring healing and a cure, for I will heal them and will bring to them abundance, peace, and faithfulness.
7 Nakokangola bato ya Yuda mpe ya Isalaele longwa na bowumbu mpe nakokomisa bango lisusu ndenge bazalaki liboso.
For I will bring back the fortunes of Judah and Israel; I will build them up as in the beginning.
8 Nakopetola bango na masumu nyonso oyo basalaki liboso na Ngai. Nakolimbisa masumu nyonso ya botomboki oyo basalaki liboso na Ngai.
Then I will purify them from all the iniquity that they have committed against me. I will pardon all the iniquities that they have done against me, and all the ways that they rebelled against me.
9 Boye engumba oyo, Yelusalemi, ekosala lokumu, esengo, masanzoli mpe nkembo ya Kombo na Ngai liboso ya bikolo nyonso ya mabele, oyo ekoyoka sango ya makambo nyonso ya kitoko oyo nakosala mpo na yango. Bikolo yango ekokamwa mpe ekolenga na somo ya komona makambo nyonso ya kitoko mpe kimia oyo nakopesa na engumba yango. ›
For this city will become for me an object of joy, a song of praise and honor for all the nations of the earth who will hear of all the good things that I am going to do for it. Then they will fear and tremble because of all the good things and the peace that I will give to it.'
10 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Bozali koloba na tina na esika oyo: ‘Eh! Esika oyo ebeba! Ezalaka lisusu na bato mpe banyama te!’ Nzokande, kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe na babalabala ya Yelusalemi oyo ekoma polele, ezanga bato mpe banyama, ekozala lisusu na lokito:
Yahweh says this, 'In this place about which you are now saying, “It is desolate, a place with neither man nor beast,” in the cities of Judah, and in the streets of Jerusalem that are desolate having neither man nor beast, there will be heard again
11 ekoyokana kuna lokito ya banzembo ya esengo mpe ya masanzoli, mingongo ya mobandami na libala ya mwasi mpe ya mobali, mpe mingongo ya bato oyo bazali kobonza kati na Tempelo ya Yawe makabo ya kozongisa matondi, na koloba: ‘Bozongisa matondi epai na Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, mpo ete Yawe azali malamu; bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko!’ Pamba te nakozongisa lisusu kitoko ya mokili yango ndenge ezalaki liboso, › elobi Yawe.
the sound of joy and the sound of gladness, the sound of the groom and the sound of the bride, the sound of those who say, while they bring thank offerings to the house of Yahweh, “Give thanks to Yahweh of hosts, for Yahweh is good, and his unfailing love lasts forever!” For I will restore the fortunes of the land to what they were before,' says Yahweh.
12 Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, alobi: ‹ Kati na esika oyo ebebisama mpe ezanga bato to banyama, mpe kati na bingumba na yango nyonso, ekozala na lisusu na bitando ya matiti mpo na babateli bibwele, bitando epai wapi bakoleisa bibwele na bango.
Yahweh of hosts says this: 'In this desolate place, where now there is neither man nor beast—in all its cities there will again be pastures where shepherds can rest their flocks.
13 Kati na bingumba ya bangomba, kati na bingumba ya bitando mpe kati na bingumba ya Negevi, kati na etuka ya Benjame, kati na bamboka oyo ezali zingazinga ya Yelusalemi mpe kati na bingumba ya Yuda, bibwele ekoleka lisusu na se ya loboko ya moto oyo atangaka yango, › elobi Yawe.
In the cities in the hill country, the lowlands, and the Negev, in the land of Benjamin and all around Jerusalem, and in the cities of Judah, the flocks will again pass under the hands of the ones counting them,' says Yahweh.
14 ‹ Na mikolo ekoya, › elobi Yawe, ‹ nakokokisa elaka kitoko oyo napesaki na mabota ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda.
'Look! Days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will do what I have promised for the house of Israel and the house of Judah.
15 Na mikolo yango mpe na tango yango, nakobimisa Moto ya nzete ya sembo wuta na libota ya Davidi; akosala makambo ya sembo mpe ya boyengebene kati na mokili.
In those days and in that time I will make a righteous branch to grow for David, and he will carry out justice and righteousness in the land.
16 Na mikolo wana, Yuda ekobikisama, mpe Yelusalemi ekozala na kimia. Tala kombo oyo bakobengela yango: Yawe azali Bosembo na biso. ›
In those days Judah will be saved, and Jerusalem will live in security, for this is what she will be called, “Yahweh is our righteousness.”'
17 Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Davidi akozalaka tango nyonso na moto oyo akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya libota ya Isalaele;
For Yahweh says this: 'A man from David's line will never be lacking to sit on the throne of the house of Israel,
18 Banganga-Nzambe oyo bazali bakitani ya Levi bakozalaka tango nyonso na bakitani oyo bakobanda kotelema tango nyonso liboso na Ngai mpo na kotumba mbeka, kobonza mbeka ya gato mpe kobonza makabo. › »
nor will a man from the Levitical priests be lacking before me to raise burnt offerings, to burn food offerings, and to perform grain offerings all the time.'”
19 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
20 « Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Soki bolongi kokata boyokani na Ngai elongo na moyi, mpe boyokani na Ngai elongo na butu, mpo ete moyi mpe butu ekoma lisusu te na tango na yango,
“Yahweh says this: 'If you can break my covenant with day and night so that there will no longer be day or night at their proper times,
21 wana bokolonga penza kokata boyokani na Ngai elongo na Davidi, mosali na Ngai, mpe Davidi akotikala kozala lisusu te na mokitani na kiti ya bokonzi, mpe bokolonga kokata boyokani na Ngai elongo na Balevi oyo bazali Banganga-Nzambe oyo basalelaka Ngai.
then you will be able to break my covenant with David my servant, so that he will no longer have a son to sit on his throne, and my covenant with the Levitical priests, my servants.
22 Ndenge kaka bakoki kotanga te mampinga ya likolo mpe zelo ya bibale minene mpo na koyeba motango na yango, ndenge wana mpe nakokomisa ebele, bakitani ya Davidi, mosali na Ngai, mpe Balevi oyo basalelaka Ngai. › »
As the hosts of heaven cannot be counted, and as the sand of the seashores cannot be measured, so I will increase the descendants of David my servant and the Levites who serve before me.'”
23 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
The word of Yahweh came to Jeremiah, saying,
24 « Boni! Bozali koyoka te makambo bato oyo bazali kosala? Bazali koloba: ‹ Yawe asundoli bituka mibale oyo aponaki. › Na bongo, bazali kotiola bato na Ngai, mpe moto ata moko te azali kozwa bango lokola ekolo.
“Have you not considered what this people has declared when they said, 'The two families that Yahweh chose, now he has rejected them'? In this way they despise my people, saying that they are no longer a nation in their sight.
25 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Soki nasalaki boyokani te elongo na moyi mpe elongo na butu, mpe soki napesaki likolo mpe mabele mibeko te,
I, Yahweh, say this, 'If I have not established the covenant of day and night, and if I have not fixed the laws of heaven and earth,
26 wana nakokaki kobwaka bakitani ya Jakobi mpe ya Davidi, mosali na Ngai, mpe nalingaki te kopona moko kati na bana na ye mpo ete akamba bakitani ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Jakobi. Nakozongisa lisusu kitoko ya mokili na bango mpe nakoyokela bango mawa. › »
then I will reject the descendants of Jacob and David my servant, and not bring from them a person to rule over the descendants of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. For I will restore their fortunes and show mercy to them.'”
