Jeremi 35
1 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi wana Yeoyakimi, mwana mobali ya Joziasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, azalaki mokonzi:
The word which came to Jeremiah from Jehovah in the days of Jehoiakim the son of Josiah, king of Judah, saying,
2 « Kende epai ya bato ya libota ya Rekabi mpe bengisa bango ete baya kokota kati na moko ya bashambre ya Tempelo ya Yawe. Mpe pesa bango masanga ya vino ya komela kuna. »
"Go to the house of the Rechabites, and speak to them, and bring them into the house of Jehovah, into one of the rooms, and give them wine to drink."
3 Boye, nakendeki kokutana na Yazania, mwana mobali ya Jeremi, mwana mobali ya Abatsinia, mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali elongo na bana na bango nyonso ya mibali: libota mobimba ya bato ya libota ya Rekabi.
Then I took Jaazaniah the son of Jeremiah, the son of Habazziniah, and his brothers, and all his sons, and the whole house of the Rechabites.
4 Namemaki bango na Tempelo ya Yawe, kati na shambre ya bana mibali ya Anani, mwana mobali ya Yigidalia, moto na Nzambe, pene ya shambre ya bakambi. Shambre yango ezalaki na sima ya shambre ya Maaseya, mwana mobali ya Shalumi, mokengeli ekuke.
And I brought them into the house of Jehovah, into the room of the sons of Hananiah son of Gedaliah, the man of God, which was by the room of the officials, which was above the room of Maaseiah the son of Shallum, the keeper of the threshold.
5 Natiaki biloko etonda na vino mpe ndambo ya bakopo liboso ya bato ya libota ya Rekabi; mpe nalobaki na bango: — Bomela masanga ya vino.
I set before the sons of the house of the Rechabites bowls full of wine, and cups; and I said to them, "Drink wine."
6 Kasi bazongisaki: — Tomelaka masanga ya vino te, mpo ete koko na biso, Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, apesaki biso mobeko oyo: « Bokoki komela masanga ya vino te, ezala bino to bakitani na bino,
But they said, "We will drink no wine; for Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, commanded us, saying, 'You shall drink no wine, neither you, nor your sons, forever:
7 mpe bokoki kotonga bandako te, kosala bilanga te, kolona banzete ya vino te mpe bokoki kozala na biloko wana te; kasi bosengeli kaka kovanda tango nyonso na bandako ya kapo, mpo ete bozala na bomoi molayi kati na mokili oyo bozali baleki nzela. »
neither shall you build house, nor sow seed, nor plant vineyard, nor have any; but all your days you shall dwell in tents; that you may live many days in the land in which you live.'
8 Totosaka makambo nyonso oyo koko na biso Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, ayebisa biso: Ezala biso, basi na biso, bana na biso ya mibali mpe ya basi, tomelaka masanga ya vino te,
We have obeyed the voice of Jonadab the son of Rechab, our father, in all that he commanded us, to drink no wine all our days, we, our wives, our sons, or our daughters;
9 totongaka bandako te mpo na kovanda kuna, tozalaka na bilanga ya vino te, bilanga te mpe milona te;
nor to build houses for us to dwell in; neither have we vineyard, nor field, nor seed:
10 tovandaka kaka na bandako ya kapo mpe totosaka makambo nyonso oyo koko na biso, Yonadabi, ayebisa biso.
but we have lived in tents, and have obeyed, and done according to all that Jonadab our father commanded us.
11 Kasi tango Nabukodonozori, mokonzi ya Babiloni, abotolaki mokili oyo, tolobaki: « Boya, tokende na Yelusalemi mpo ete tobikisa bomoi na biso liboso ya basoda ya Babiloni mpe ya Siri. » Yango wana, toyaki kovanda na Yelusalemi.
But it happened, when Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon came up into the land, that we said, 'Come, and let us go to Jerusalem for fear of the army of the Chaldeans, and for fear of the army of the Arameans'; so we dwell at Jerusalem."
12 Bongo tala liloba oyo Yawe alobaki na nzela ya Jeremi:
Then came the word of Jehovah to Jeremiah, saying,
13 — Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: Kende koyebisa bato ya Yuda mpe ya Yelusalemi: « Bokoki solo kozwa liteya te mpe kotosa maloba na Ngai te, » elobi Yawe?
"Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Go, and tell the men of Judah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, "Will you not receive instruction to listen to my words?" says Jehovah.
14 « Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, apesaki mobeko epai ya bana na ye ete bamela masanga ya vino te, mpe babatelaka mobeko yango. Kino na mokolo ya lelo, bamelaka masanga ya vino te mpo na kotosa mobeko oyo koko na bango apesaki bango. Nzokande, tango na tango, Ngai nazalaki koloba na bino, kasi bozalaki koyoka Ngai te.
"The words of Jonadab the son of Rechab, that he commanded his sons, not to drink wine, are performed; and to this day they drink none, for they obey their father's commandment: but I have spoken to you, rising up early and speaking; and you have not listened to me.
15 Nazalaki tango na tango kotindela bino basali na Ngai nyonso, basakoli, mpo na koloba na bino: ‹ Tika ete moko na moko kati na bino atika nzela na ye ya mabe mpe abongola bizaleli na ye; bosalela banzambe mosusu te mpo ete bokoka kovanda kati na mokili oyo napesaki bino mpe batata na bino. › Kasi boyokaki Ngai te mpe botosaki Ngai te.
I have sent also to you all my servants the prophets, rising up early and sending them, saying, 'Return now every man from his evil way, and amend your doings, and do not go after other gods to serve them, and you shall dwell in the land which I have given to you and to your fathers': but you have not inclined your ear, nor listened to me.
16 Bakitani ya Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, babatelaki mobeko oyo koko na bango apesa bango, kasi bato oyo baboyi kotosa Ngai. »
Because the sons of Jonadab the son of Rechab have performed the commandment of their father which he commanded them, but this people has not listened to me;
17 Yango wana, tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga mpe Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Boyoka! Nakoyeisa na mokili ya Yuda mpe epai ya bavandi nyonso ya Yelusalemi pasi oyo nakataki; pamba te nalobaki na bango kasi bayokaki Ngai te, nabengaki bango kasi bayanolaki Ngai te. »
therefore thus says Jehovah, the God of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Look, I will bring on Judah and on all the inhabitants of Jerusalem all the disaster that I have pronounced against them; because I have spoken to them, but they have not listened; and I have called to them, but they have not answered.'"'"
18 Boye, Jeremi alobaki na bato ya libota ya Rekabi: — Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Lokola botosaka mobeko ya koko na bino Yonadabi, bolandaka malako nyonso oyo ayebisa bino mpe bosalelaka makambo nyonso oyo atinda bino,
Jeremiah said to the house of the Rechabites, "Thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Because you have obeyed the commandment of Jonadab your father, and kept all his precepts, and done according to all that he commanded you';
19 tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: ‹ Yonadabi, mwana mobali ya Rekabi, akotikala kozanga te moto oyo akosalela Ngai. › »
therefore thus says Jehovah of hosts, the God of Israel: 'Jonadab the son of Rechab shall not want a man to stand before me forever.'"
