Jeremiah 13
1 Yahweh said this to me, “Go and buy a linen undergarment and put it on around your waist, but do not put it in water first.”
Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na ngai: « Kende kosomba mokaba ya lino mpe lata yango na loketo na yo, kasi kopolisa yango na mayi te. »
2 So I bought an undergarment as Yahweh directed, and I put in on around my waist.
Boye, nasombaki mokaba, ndenge Yawe atindaki ngai mpe nalataki yango na loketo na ngai.
3 Then the word of Yahweh came to me a second time, saying,
Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu na mbala ya mibale:
4 “Take the undergarment that you purchased that is around your waist, get up and go now to Perath. Hide it there in a rock crevice.”
« Kamata mokaba oyo osombaki mpe oyo olati na loketo na yo, kende sik’oyo na Perati mpe bomba yango kuna kati na madusu ya mabanga. »
5 So I went and hid it in Perath, just as Yahweh had commanded me.
Boye nakendeki kobomba mokaba yango na Perati, ndenge Yawe alobaki na ngai.
6 After many days, Yahweh said to me, “Get up and go back to Perath. Take from there the undergarment that I had told you to hide.”
Sima na mikolo ebele, Yawe alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Kende kokamata mokaba oyo nalobaki na yo ete obomba na Perati. »
7 So I went back to Perath and dug out the undergarment where I had hid it, and behold, it was destroyed and completely useless.
Nakendeki na Perati, nalukaki mokaba yango epai nabombaki yango; kasi mokaba yango ebebaki makasi mpe etikalaki lisusu na tina te.
8 Then the word of Yahweh came to me, saying,
Bongo Yawe alobaki na ngai:
9 “Yahweh says this: In the same way I will destroy the great arrogance of Judah and Jerusalem.
« Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: ‹ Ezali boye nde nakosilisa lolendo ya Yuda mpe nakokitisa mapeka ya Yelusalemi.
10 This wicked people who refuses to listen to my word, who walk in the hardness of their heart, who go after other gods to worship them and bow down to them—they will be like this undergarment that is good for nothing.
Bato oyo bazali bato mabe, bayokaka maloba na Ngai te, bazali mito makasi, batingamaka kosala kolanda baposa ya mitema na bango, mpe balandaka banzambe ya bapaya mpo na kosalela mpe kogumbamela yango; bakokoma kaka lokola mokaba oyo, mokaba oyo etikali lisusu na tina te.
11 For just as an undergarment clings to someone's hips, so I have made all the house of Israel and all the house of Judah cling to me—this is Yahweh's declaration—to be my people, to bring me fame, praise, and honor. But they would not listen to me.
Pamba te ndenge balingaka mokaba na loketo, ndenge wana mpe nalingaki libota mobimba ya Isalaele mpe libota mobimba ya Yuda epai na Ngai, › elobi Yawe, ‹ mpo ete bazala bato na Ngai mpe basala lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai. Kasi batikali koyoka Ngai te. ›
12 So you must speak this word to them, 'Yahweh, the God of Israel, says this: Every jar will be filled with wine.' They will say to you, 'Do we not indeed know that every jar will be filled with wine?'
Loba na bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Mbeki nyonso esengeli kotonda na masanga ya vino. › Mpe soki batuni yo: ‹ Boni, okanisi ete biso toyebi te ete mbeki nyonso esengeli kotonda na masanga ya vino? ›
13 So say to them, 'Yahweh says this: See, I am about to fill with drunkenness every inhabitant of this land, the kings who sit on David's throne, the priests, prophets, and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem.
Yebisa bango: ‹ Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: Nakolangwisa bavandi nyonso ya mokili oyo masanga; ezala bakonzi oyo bavandaka na kiti ya bokonzi ya Davidi, Banganga-Nzambe, basakoli mpe bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi.
14 Then I will smash each man against the other, fathers and children together—this is Yahweh's declaration—I will not pity them or have compassion, and I will not spare them from destruction.'”
Nakosala ete babomana bango na bango, batata mpe bana na bango, elobi Yawe, eloko moko te ekopekisa Ngai koboma bango, ezala motema monene to mawa to ngolu. › »
15 Listen and pay attention. Do not be arrogant, for Yahweh had spoken.
Boyoka malamu mpe bosala keba! Bosala lolendo te, pamba te ezali Yawe nde alobi.
16 Give honor to Yahweh your God before he brings darkness, and before he causes your feet to stumble on the mountains at twilight. For you are hoping for light, but he will turn the place into a deep darkness, into a dark cloud.
Bopesa nkembo epai na Yawe, Nzambe na bino, liboso ete amemela bino molili, liboso ete makolo na bino ebeta mabaku na bangomba oyo ezipami na molili. Bino bozali kozela pole, kasi Ye akobongola yango molili makasi.
17 So if you will not listen, I will weep alone because of your arrogance. My eyes will certainly weep and flow with tears, for Yahweh's flock has been taken captive.
Soki boyoki te, nakolela na nkuku mpo na lolendo na bino, nakolela makasi, mpe miso na ngai ekosopa mpinzoli, pamba te etonga ya Yawe ekokende na bowumbu.
18 “Say to the king and to the queen mother, 'Come down from your thrones, for your splendid crowns have fallen from your heads.'
Loba na mokonzi mpe na mama ya mokonzi: « Bolongwa na bakiti na bino ya bokonzi, pamba te mitole na bino ya nkembo ekolongwa na mito na bino. »
19 The cities in the Negev will be shut up, with no one to open them. All Judah will be taken captive, completely taken captive.
Bingumba ya sude ekokangama, mpe moto moko te akokoka kofungola yango. Bato nyonso ya Yuda bakokende na bowumbu, bango nyonso penza bakokende.
20 Lift up your eyes and look at the ones coming from the north. Where is the flock he gave to you, the flock that was so beautiful to you?
Oh Yelusalemi, tombola miso na yo mpe tala, bato bazali koya wuta na nor! Wapi bibwele oyo bapesaki yo ete obatela, mpe wapi meme oyo ozalaki kobetela tolo?
21 What will you say when God sets over you those you had trained to be your special allies? Are these not the beginnings of the labor pains that will seize you just like a woman in childbirth?
Okoloba nini soki Yawe atie yo na makasi na se ya bokonzi ya bato oyo yo oteyaki. Okokoma na pasi te lokola mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota?
22 Then you might say in your heart, 'Why are these things happening to me?' It will be for the multitude of your iniquities that your skirts are raised up and you have been violated.
Mpe soki omituni: « Mpo na nini makambo ya boye ekomeli ngai? » Ezali mpo na ebele ya masumu na yo nde bapasolaki yo bilamba mpe bazokisaki nzoto na yo.
23 Can the people of Cush change their skin color, or a leopard change its spots? If so, then you yourself, although accustomed to wickedness, would be able to do good.
Boni, moto mwindo akoki solo kobongola poso ya nzoto na ye? Nkoyi ekoki kolongola penza matono ya poso ya nzoto na yango? Bokokoka kosala malamu te, bino bato oyo bomesana kosala mabe.
24 So I will scatter them like chaff that perishes in the desert wind.
« Nakopanza bino lokola matiti ya kokawuka oyo mopepe ya esobe ememaka.
25 This is what I have given to you, the portion I have decreed for you—this is Yahweh's declaration— because you have forgotten me and trusted in deceit.
Yango nde etumbu na yo, mbano oyo nakatelaki yo, » elobi Yawe, « pamba te bobosanaki Ngai mpe botiaki mitema epai ya banzambe ya lokuta.
26 So also I myself will strip your skirts off you, and your private parts will be seen.
Nakotombola yo bilamba kino na elongi mpo ete bato bamona bolumbu na yo.
27 I have seen your adultery and neighing, the wickedness of your prostitution on the hills and in the fields, and I have seen these detestable things! Woe to you, Jerusalem! How long until you are made clean again?”
Namoni bondumba na yo mpe posa na yo ya kosangisa nzoto; ekobo na yo ezali na soni ata moke te. Namoni banzambe na yo ya bikeko na likolo ya bangomba mpe kati na bilanga. Mawa na yo Yelusalemi, ozali peto te! Kino tango nini okozala mbindo? »
