< Jeremiah 32 >

1 The word which came unto Jeremiah from Yahweh, in the tenth year of Zedekiah king of Judah, —the same, was the eighteenth year of Nebuchadrezzar;
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi tango Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akokisaki mibu zomi na bokonzi mpe Nabukodonozori akokisaki mibu zomi na mwambe na bokonzi.
2 and, then, the forces of the king of Babylon were besieging Jerusalem, —and, Jeremiah the prophet, had been shut up in the guard-court, which was in the house of the king of Judah;
Ezalaki na tango oyo mampinga ya mokonzi ya Babiloni ezingelaki Yelusalemi, mpe mosakoli Jeremi azalaki ya kokangama kati na boloko oyo ezalaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli ya ndako ya mokonzi ya Yuda.
3 whom Zedekiah king of Judah, had shut up, saying, —Why art thou prophesying, saying, —Thus, saith Yahweh, Behold me! giving up this city into the hand of the king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, abwakaki ye kuna na koloba: « Mpo na nini ozali kosakola na maloba oyo: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakokaba engumba oyo na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpe akobotola yango;
4 and, Zedekiah king of Judah! shall not be delivered out of the hand of the Chaldeans, —for he shall be wholly given up, into the hand of the king of Babylon, and shall speak—the mouth of the one to the mouth of the other, and the eyes of the one into the eyes of the other, shall look;
Sedesiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, akolonga te kokima liboso ya bato ya Babiloni, kasi nakokaba ye solo na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni oyo akolobana na ye mpe akotalana na ye na elongi;
5 and into Babylon, shall he lead Zedekiah and, there, shall he remain, until I visit him, Declareth Yahweh, —though ye fight with the Chaldeans, ye shall not prosper?
akomema Sedesiasi na Babiloni, akowumela kuna kino tango nakotala likambo na ye, elobi Yawe, soki bomeki kobundisa bato ya Babiloni, bokolonga te. › »
6 And Jeremiah said, —The word of Yahweh came unto me saying:
Jeremi alobaki: « Yawe alobaki na ngai:
7 Lo! Hanameel son of Shallum thine uncle, hath come unto thee saying, —Buy thee my field that is in Anathoth, for, thine, is the right of redemption to buy it.
Anameyeli, mwana mobali ya Shalumi, noko na yo, azali koya epai na yo mpe akoloba: ‹ Somba elanga na ngai, oyo ezali na Anatoti, pamba te yo nde ozali na makoki mpe na mokumba ya kosikola yango. ›
8 So Hanameel son of mine uncle, came unto me, according to the word of Yahweh into the guard-court, and said unto me, Buy, I pray thee my field that is in Anathoth which is in the land of Benjamin, for, thine, is the right of inheritance, and, thine, the redemption, —buy it for thyself. So I knew, that the word of Yahweh, it was.
Bongo, kaka ndenge Yawe alobaki, Anameyeli, mwana ya noko na ngai, ayaki kotala ngai kati na lopango ya bakengeli mpe alobaki: ‹ Somba elanga na ngai, oyo ezali na Anatoti kati na etuka ya Benjame, pamba te yo nde ozali na makoki ya kosikola yango mpe ya kozwa yango; somba na yo yango. › Nasosolaki ete ezali Liloba na Yawe;
9 And I bought the field from Hanameel son of mine uncle that was in Anathoth, —and weighed him the silver, seventeen shekels, was the silver;
boye nasombaki elanga oyo ezali na Anatoti, na maboko ya Anameyeli, mwana mobali ya noko na ngai, mpe nafutaki ye mbongo ya bibende ya palata, zomi na sambo.
10 and I wrote in the scroll and sealed it, and took in attestation witnesses, —and weighed the silver in the balances.
Nakomaki mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga mpe nabetaki yango kashe; namekaki kilo ya mbongo ya bibende ya palata na miso ya batatoli, na emekelo kilo.
11 Then took I the scroll of purchase, both that which was sealed—the title and the conditions—and that which was open;
Nakamataki mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga, oyo nabetaki kashe, oyo kati na yango bakoma malako ya mibeko mpe mabongisi; mpe nazwaki lisusu mokanda oyo babeta kashe te;
12 and gave the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah son of Mahseiah, in the sight of Hanameel mine uncle[’s son], and in the sight of the witnesses who subscribed the scroll of purchase, —in the sight of all the Jews who were sitting in the guard-court.
mpe napesaki mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga epai ya Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, mwana mobali ya Maaseya, na miso ya Anameyeli, mwana ya noko na ngai, mpe ya batatoli oyo batiaki mikoloto na bango kati na mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga, mpe na miso ya Bayuda nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na lopango ya bakengeli.
13 Then charged I Baruch in their sight saying:
Napesaki Baruki mitindo oyo na miso na bango nyonso:
14 Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, Take thou these scrolls, this scroll of purchase even that which is sealed, and this scroll that is open, and put them in an earthen vessel, —that they may remain many days,
‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Kamata mikanda oyo nasombelaki elanga, ezala oyo babeta kashe to oyo babeta kashe te; tia yango kati na mbeki oyo basala na mabele ya bikeko mpo ete ebeba te.
15 For Thus, saith Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel: Again, shall houses and fields and vineyards, be bought, in this land.
Pamba te, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Bato bakosomba lisusu bandako, bilanga mpe bilanga ya vino kati na mokili oyo. ›
16 Then prayed I unto Yahweh, —after I had delivered the scroll of purchase unto Baruch son of Neriah, saying: —
Sima na ngai kopesa mokanda oyo nasombelaki elanga epai ya Baruki, mwana mobali ya Neriya, nabondelaki Yawe:
17 Alas! My Lord, Yahweh! Lo! thou thyself, didst make the heavens, and the earth, by thy great might, and by thine outstretched arm, —There is nothing, too wonderful for thee:
Oh Nkolo Yawe! Yo nde osala likolo mpe mabele na nguya monene na Yo, otanda yango na makasi ya loboko na Yo: olembanaka likambo moko te.
18 Executing lovingkindness unto thousands, But recompensing the iniquity of fathers, into the bosom of their children, after them, Thou GOD, the great the mighty, Yahweh of hosts, is his name:
Otalisaka bolingo na Yo epai ya bato kino na molongo ya nkoto, kasi opesaka etumbu mpo na masumu ya batata epai ya bana mpe bakitani na bango. Oh Nzambe monene mpe ya nguya, Kombo na Yo ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga;
19 Great in counsel, and mighty in deed, —Whose eyes are open on all the ways of the sons of men, to give unto every one, According to his ways, and According to the fruit of his doings:
mabongisi na Yo ezali minene mpe misala minene na Yo ezali ya kokamwa; miso na Yo ezalaka ya kofungwama mpo na kotala banzela nyonso ya bato, mpo na kopesa na moto nyonso kolanda etamboli mpe misala na ye.
20 Who didst set signs and wonders, in the land of Egypt, unto this day, and in Israel and among mankind, —And didst make for thyself a name as at this day;
Osalaki bilembo minene mpe bikamwa kati na Ejipito mpe ozali kokoba kosala yango kino lelo kati na Isalaele mpe kati na bato nyonso, mpe osalaki ete Kombo na Yo ekende sango ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.
21 And didst bring forth thy people Israel out of the land of, Egypt, With signs and with wonders, and With a strong hand, and With an outstretched arm, and With great terror;
Obimisaki bato na Yo, Isalaele, na Ejipito na nzela ya bilembo minene mpe bikamwa wana osalelaki nguya na Yo mpe osembolaki loboko na Yo ya nguya mpo na koyeisa somo kati na bato ya Ejipito.
22 And didst give unto them this land, which thou hadst sworn to their fathers to give unto them, —a land flowing with milk and honey;
Opesaki bango mokili oyo, na nzela ya ndayi, olakaki kopesa na batata na bango, mokili oyo ebimisaka miliki mpe mafuta ya nzoyi.
23 And they came in and took possession of it But hearkened not unto thy voice Nor in thy law, did they walk, Nought of what thou hadst commanded them to do, did they do, —And so thou hast caused to befall them all this calamity.
Bakotaki kati na yango mpe babotolaki yango; kasi batosaki Yo te, basalelaki Mobeko na Yo te, basalaki te nyonso oyo otindaki bango. Yango wana omemelaki bango pasi oyo nyonso.
24 Lo! the earthworks! they have entered the city, to capture it, And the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans, who are fighting against it, because of the sword and the famine and the pestilence, —And so what thou didst speak, hath come to pass, And there thou art looking on!
Tala, banguna basili kobongama mpo na kobotola engumba! Likolo ya mopanga, ya nzala makasi mpe ya bokono oyo ebomaka, engumba oyo ekokweya na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni, oyo bazali kobundisa yango. Makambo oyo olobaki ekokisami, ndenge ozali komona yango na mokolo ya lelo.
25 Yet, thou thyself, saidst unto me, O My Lord, Yahweh, Buy thee the field for silver And take in attestation, witnesses, —Whereas, the city, hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans!
Mpe atako engumba oyo ekokweya na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni, Yo, Nkolo Yawe, olobi na ngai: ‹ Somba elanga na mbongo ya bibende ya palata na miso ya batatoli. › »
26 Then came the word of Yahweh, unto Jeremiah, saying: —
Bongo Yawe alobaki na Jeremi:
27 Lo! I, am Yahweh, God of all flesh, —For me, is any thing too wonderful?
« Nazali Yawe, Nzambe ya moto nyonso. Boni, ezali na likambo oyo Ngai nakoki kolembana?
28 Therefore, Thus, saith Yahweh, —Behold me! giving this city into the hand of the Chaldeans, and into the hand of Nebuchadrezzar king of Babylon, and he shall capture it;
Mpo na yango, tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakokaba engumba oyo na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni mpe ya Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, mpo ete azwa yango.
29 And the Chaldeans, who are fighting against this city, Shall enter, and Shall set this city on fire, and Shall consume it, —With the houses on whose roofs they burned incense to Baal and poured out drink-offerings to other gods, that they might provoke me to anger;
Bato ya Babiloni oyo bazali kobundisa engumba oyo, bakokota kati na yango mpe bakotumba yango; bakotumba yango elongo na bandako oyo, na likolo ya manzanza na yango, bato bazalaki kotumbola Ngai na kobonza bambeka ya malasi ya ansa epai ya nzambe Bala mpe kobonza makabo ya masanga ya vino epai ya banzambe ya bapaya.
30 For the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah have been nothing but doers of wickedness in my sight from the days of their youth, —For the sons of Israel have been doing nothing but provoke me to anger by the workmanship of their hands, Declareth Yahweh;
Bana ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda, wuta bolenge na bango, bazalaki kosala eloko mosusu te na miso na Ngai, soki kaka mabe te; solo, bana ya Isalaele bazalaki kosala eloko mosusu te, soki kaka te kopesa Ngai kanda na nzela ya biloko oyo maboko na bango esalaki, elobi Yawe.
31 For According to mine anger, and According to mine indignation, hath been to me this city, from the day when they built it even unto this day, —that I should pull it down from before my face:
Wuta batonga engumba oyo kino na mokolo ya lelo, mosala na yango kaka kotumbola Ngai mpe kopesa Ngai kanda; yango wana, nakolongola yango liboso na Ngai.
32 because of all the wickedness of the sons of Israel and the sons of Judah, which they have done to provoke me to anger, they, their kings their princes, their priests, and their prophets, and the men of Judah, and the inhabitants of Jerusalem:
Bato ya Isalaele mpe ya Yuda bapesaki Ngai kanda na nzela ya mabe nyonso oyo basalaki: ezala bango, bakonzi na bango, bakalaka na bango, Banganga-Nzambe mpe basakoli na bango, bato ya Yuda mpe bavandi ya Yelusalemi.
33 Thus have they turned unto me the back, and not the face, —Though I instructed them, betimes, instructing them, Yet have they not been hearkening, to receive correction;
Bapesaki Ngai mokongo na esika ya kotala Ngai. Atako nazalaki tango na tango koteya bango, kasi batikalaki koyoka Ngai te mpe baboyaki kozwa mayele.
34 But have set their abominations in the house on which my name hath been called, to defile it;
Batiaki kutu banzambe na bango ya bikeko kati na Ndako epai wapi babelaka Kombo na Ngai, mpe na bongo, bakomisaki yango mbindo.
35 And have built the high places of Baal, which are in the valley of Ben-hinnom, To cause their sons and their daughters to pass through unto Molech, Which I commanded them not Neither came it up on my heart, That they should do this horrible thing, —Causing, Judah, to sin!
Bakomaki kotonga bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpo na Bala, na Lubwaku ya Beni-Inomi, mpo na kobonza bana na bango ya mibali mpe ya basi epai ya Moloki; ezali likambo oyo Ngai natikalaki kotinda bango te, mpe natikala kokanisa te ete bakoki kosala makambo ya nkele boye mpo na komemisa Yuda masumu.
36 Now therefore, because of this, —Thus, saith Yahweh, God of Israel, —Concerning this city, whereof ye are saying, It hath been delivered into the hand of the king of Babylon, by sword, and by famine and by pestilence:
Mpo na yango, tala sik’oyo liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi na tina na engumba oyo bino bozali koloba ete ekabami na maboko ya mokonzi ya Babiloni na nzela ya mopanga, ya nzala makasi mpe ya bokono oyo ebomaka:
37 Behold me! gathering them out of all the lands whither I have driven them—In mine anger and In mine indignation and In great vexation, —And I will cause them to return into this place, And will make them dwell, securely;
‹ Solo, nakosangisa bango wuta na mikili nyonso epai wapi nabenganaki bango tango natombokelaki bango, nakozongisa bango na esika oyo mpe nakovandisa bango na kimia.
38 And they shall become my people, —And, I, will become their God;
Bakozala bato na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Nzambe na bango.
39 And I will give them one heart, and one way, That they may revere me, all the days, —For the good of them and of their children after them;
Nakopesa bango motema se moko mpe etamboli se moko mpo ete batosaka Ngai tango nyonso mpo na bolamu na bango mpe mpo na bolamu ya bakitani na bango.
40 And I will solemnise to them an age-abiding covenant, That I will not turn away from following them, to do them good, —But the reverence of myself, will I put in their heart, so that they shall not turn away from me.
Nakosala boyokani ya libela elongo na bango, nakotika te kosalela bango bolamu mpe nakosala ete batosa Ngai mpe bapesa Ngai lisusu mokongo te.
41 And I will rejoice over them, to do them good, —And will plant them in this land in truth, with all my heart and with all my soul.
Nakosepela kosalela bango bolamu mpe nakolona bango penza kati na mokili oyo, na motema mpe na molimo na Ngai mobimba. ›
42 For, Thus, saith Yahweh, Like as I have brought upon this people all this great calamity, So, am I bringing upon them all the good that I am speaking concerning them.
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Ndenge natindelaki bato oyo pasi oyo nyonso, ndenge wana mpe nakotindela bango bomengo nyonso oyo nalakaki bango.
43 Therefore shall fields be bought in this land, —whereof ye are saying, It is, a desolation, Without man or beast, It hath been given into the hand of the Chaldeans:
Bato bakosomba lisusu bilanga kati na mokili oyo bino bozali koloba na tina na yango: ‹ Mokili oyo ebeba, etikala lisusu na bato mpe na banyama te; pamba te ekabama na maboko ya bato ya Babiloni. ›
44 Fields—for silver, shall men buy, And write in scrolls And seal them, And take in attestation, witnesses, In the land of Benjamin, and In the places round about Jerusalem, and In the cities of Judah, and In the cities of the hill country, and In the cities of the lowland and In the cities of the South, —For I will cause them of their captivity to return Declareth Yahweh.
Solo, bakosomba lisusu bilanga na motuya ya palata, bakotia mikoloto mpe bakashe na mikanda oyo bakosombela bilanga yango, na miso ya batatoli, kati na mboka ya Benjame, kati na bamboka mike-mike oyo ezali zingazinga ya Yelusalemi, kati na bingumba ya Yuda mpe kati na bingumba ya mokili ya bangomba, kati na bingumba ya bitando mpe kati na bingumba ya Negevi; pamba te nakozongisa bato na bango oyo bakendeki na bowumbu, elobi Yawe. »
