Jeremiah 8
1 At that time, saith the Lord, they shall cast out the bones of the kings of Juda, and the bones of the princes thereof, and the bones of the priests, and the bones of the inhabitants of Jerusalem, out of their graves.
Na tango wana, elobi Yawe, bakobimisa mikuwa ya bakonzi mpe ya bakalaka ya Yuda, mikuwa ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya basakoli elongo na mikuwa ya bato ya Yelusalemi, wuta na malita na bango.
2 And they shall spread them abroad to the sun, and the moon, and all the host of heaven, whom they have loved, and whom they have served, and after whom they have walked, and whom they have sought, and adored: they shall not be gathered, and they shall not be buried: they shall be as dung upon the face of the earth.
Bakotanda yango na se ya moyi, na se ya sanza mpe na se ya mampinga nyonso ya likolo, oyo balingaki, basalelaki na esengo, balandaki, batunaki makambo mpe bafukamelaki. Bakosangisa lisusu mikuwa yango te mpo na kokunda yango, kasi ekokoma lokola matiti ya kopola, na mabele.
3 And death shall be chosen rather than life by all that shall remain of this wicked kindred in all places, which are left, to which I have cast them out, saith the Lord of hosts.
Na bisika nyonso oyo nakopanza bango, elobi Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, bato nyonso oyo bakotikala na bomoi kati na ekolo oyo ya mabe bakoluka kufa na esika ya bomoi. ›
4 And thou shalt say to them: Thus saith the Lord: Shall not he that falleth, rise again? and he that is turned away, shall he not turn again?
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Boni, soki moto akweyi, atelemaka te? Soki moto abungi nzela, azongaka lisusu na nzela te?
5 Why then is this people in Jerusalem turned away with a stubborn revolting? they have laid hold on lying, and have refused to return.
Mpo na nini bato ya Yelusalemi babungi nzela? Mpo na nini bazali kokangama kaka na nzela na bango ya mabe? Bamipesi makasi na makambo ya lokuta mpe baboyi kozongela Ngai.
6 I attended, and hearkened; no man speaketh what is good, there is none that doth penance for his sin, saying: What have I done? They are all turned to their own course, as a horse rushing to the battle.
Nayokaka na bokebi makambo nyonso oyo balobaka, kasi balobaka makambo ya solo te. Moko te kati na bango ayokaka motema pasi mpo na mabe oyo asalaka, alobaka: ‘Nasali nini?’ Moto na moto akangamaka kaka na nzela na ye lokola mpunda oyo ezali kokende na bitumba.
7 The kite in the air hath known her time: the turtle, and the swallow, and the stork have observed the time of their coming: but my people have not known the judgment of the Lord.
Ezala kutu nkongi, kati na likolo, eyebaka bileko ya kokende na bisika mosusu; ebenga, ndeke ya mayi mpe mbilambila eyebaka ata tango ya kozonga, kasi bato na Ngai bayebi mibeko ya Yawe te.
8 How do you say: We are wise, and the law of the Lord is with us? Indeed the lying pen of the scribes hath wrought falsehood.
Ndenge nini bokoki koloba: ‘Tozali bato ya bwanya, pamba te toyebi Mobeko ya Yawe,’ tango sik’oyo ekomeli ya balakisi ya Mobeko ebongoli yango lokuta?
9 The wise men are confounded, they are dismayed, and taken: for they have cast away the word of the Lord, and there is no wisdom in them.
Bato ya bwanya bakoyokisama soni, bakoyoka somo mpe bakokende na bowumbu, pamba te batiolaki Liloba na Yawe. Bazali na bwanya ya ndenge nini?
10 Therefore I will give their women to strangers, their fields to others for an inheritance: because from the least even to the greatest all follow covetousness: from the prophet even to the priest, all deal deceitfully.
Yango wana, nakokaba basi na bango epai ya mibali mosusu, mpe bilanga na bango epai ya bato mosusu; pamba te bango nyonso, ezala mikolo to bana mike, batondi na lokoso ya mbongo; basakoli mpe Banganga-Nzambe nyonso bakomi se kotambola na lokuta;
11 And they healed the breach of the daughter of my people disgracefully, saying Peace, peace: when there was no peace.
bazali kosalisa bapota ya bato na Ngai likolo-likolo mpe bazali koloba: ‘Makambo nyonso ezali malamu, nyonso ezali kotambola malamu!’ Nzokande, ata likambo moko ya malamu ezali te.
12 They are confounded, because they have committed abomination: yea rather they are not confounded with confusion, and they have not know how to blush: therefore shall they fall among them that fall; in the time of their visitation they shall fall, saith the Lord.
Boni, bazali koyokela makambo na bango ya nkele soni? Te! Bazali koyoka ata soni te; bayebi kutu te ndenge bayokaka soni! Yango wana, bakokufa lokola bato nyonso, bakokweyisama tango bakozwa etumbu, elobi Yawe.
13 Gathering I will gather them together, saith the Lord, there is no grape on the vines, and there are no figs on the fig tree, the leaf is fallen: and I have given them the things that are passed away.
Nakobebisa milona na bango, elobi Yawe. Bambuma ya vino ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya vino, mbuma ya figi ekozala lisusu te na banzete ya figi, mpe makasa ya banzete yango ekokawuka. Bakobotola bango biloko oyo napesaki bango. › »
14 Why do we sit still? assemble yourselves, and let us enter into the fenced city, and let us be silent there: for the Lord our God hath put us to silence, and hath given us water of gall to drink: for we have sinned against the Lord.
Mpo na nini tozali kovanda awa? Tosangana esika moko! Tika ete tokima kati na bingumba batonga makasi mpo ete tokufela kuna! Pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na biso, afungoleli biso ekuke ya kufa mpe apesi biso mayi oyo ezali na ngenge mpo ete tomela, pamba te tosalaki masumu liboso na Ye.
15 We looked for peace and no good came: for a time of healing, and behold fear.
Tozalaki na elikya ete tokozala na kimia, kasi tomoni likambo moko te ya malamu; tozalaki na elikya ete tokobika, kasi pasi na pasi nde ezali kolanda biso!
16 The snorting of his horse was heard from Dan, all the land was moved at the sound of the neighing of his warriors: and they came and devoured the land, and all that was in it: the city and its inhabitants.
Lokito ya bampunda ya banguna mpe makelele ya makolo na yango ezali koyokana wuta na Dani, ezali koya mpo na kobebisa mokili mpe biloko nyonso oyo ezali kati na yango, engumba mpe bavandi na yango nyonso, bongo mokili mobimba eningani.
17 For behold I will send among you serpents, basilisks, against which there is no charm: and they shall bite you, saith the Lord.
« Botala, nakotindela bino banyoka oyo ebomaka, bitupa oyo moto akoki kosakana na yango te, mpo ete eswa bino, » elobi Yawe.
18 My sorrow is above sorrow, my heart mourneth within me.
Pasi na ngai ezangeli kisi mpo na kosilisa yango, motema na ngai elembi kati na ngai.
19 Behold the voice of the daughter my people from a far country: Is not the Lord in Sion, or is not her king in her? why then have they provoked me to wrath with their idols, and strange vanities?
Yoka koganga ya bato na ngai wuta na mokili ya mosika: « Boni, Yawe azali lisusu te, kati na Siona? Mokonzi na yango azali lisusu kuna te? » « Mpo na nini batumbolaki kanda na Ngai na nzela ya banzambe na bango ya bikeko, na nzela ya banzambe ya bapaya oyo ezanga ata tina? »
20 The harvest is passed, the summer is ended, and we are not saved.
« Tango ya kobuka mbuma esili koleka, elanga mpe esili kokoma na suka, kasi biso tobikisami te. »
21 For the affliction of the daughter of my people I am afflicted, and made sorrowful, astonishment hath taken hold on me.
Ndenge bato na ngai bazali koyoka pasi, ndenge wana mpe ngai nazali koyoka pasi, nazali kolela, mpe somo ekangi ngai makasi.
22 Is there no balm in Galaad? or is no physician there? Why then is not the wound of the daughter of my people closed?
Boni, kisi ezali te kati na Galadi? Minganga bazali kuna te? Bongo mpo na nini bato na ngai bazali kobika te?
