Jeremi 48
1 Na tina ya Moabi: Tala liloba oyo Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga, Nzambe ya Isalaele, alobi: « Mawa na engumba Nebo, pamba te ekobebisama! Kiriatayimi ekoyokisama soni mpe bakobotola yango, ndako makasi ekoyokisama soni mpe ekobukana.
To Moab, Yahweh of hosts, God of Israel, says this, “Woe to Nebo, for it has been devastated. Kiriathaim has been humiliated and captured. Her fortress has been disgraced and crushed.
2 Moabi ekozala lisusu na lokumu te, bato bakosalela yango likita kati na Eshiboni mpo na kokweyisa yango: ‹ Boya, tokweyisa ekolo oyo! › Yo mpe, engumba Madimeni, okokanga monoko; mopanga ekolanda yo.
The honor of Moab is no more. Their enemies in Heshbon plotted disaster against her. They said, 'Come and let us destroy her as a nation. Madmen will also perish—a sword will go after you.'
3 Yoka makelele oyo ezali kobima kuna na Oronayimi: ezali lokito ya bitumba mpe ya kobebisama!
Listen! A sound of screaming is coming from Horonaim, where there is ruin and great destruction.
4 Moabi ebebisami makasi penza mpe bana na yango bazali kolela.
Moab has been destroyed. Her children have made their cries heard.
5 Bazali komata na kolela, nzela-nzela mpo na kokende na Luyiti; mpe tango bazali kokita na Oronayimi, koganga ya mawa ezali koyokana mpo ete Moabi esili kobebisama.
They go up the hill of Luhith weeping, for on the way down to Horonaim, screams are heard because of the destruction.
6 Bokima! Bopota mbangu mpo na kobikisa bomoi na bino; bokoma lokola nzete ya kokawuka kati na esobe!
Flee! Save your lives and become like a juniper bush in the wilderness.
7 Lokola bozali kotia mitema na misala na bino mpe na bomengo na bino, bino mpe bokokende na bowumbu; boye Kemoshi mpe akokende na bowumbu elongo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe bakambi na ye.
For because of your trust in your practices and your wealth, you also will be captured. Then Chemosh will go away into captivity, together with his priests and leaders.
8 Mobebisi akoya koboma bingumba nyonso mpe ata engumba moko te ekobika; lubwaku ekobebisama, mpe etando ya likolo ya bangomba ekobebisama, pamba te Yawe alobi.
For the destroyer will come to every city; no city will escape. So the valley will perish and the plain will be devastated, as Yahweh has said.
9 Bobongisa kunda mpo na Moabi mpo ete ekobebisama solo; bingumba na yango ekotikala pamba, mpe bato bakovanda lisusu kuna te.
Give wings to Moab, for she must certainly fly away. Her cities will become a wasteland, where there is no one to live in them.
10 Tika ete moto oyo asalelaka Yawe na kozanga komipesa alakelama mabe! Tika ete moto oyo apelisaka mopanga na ye mpo ete etangisa makila alakelama mabe!
May anyone who is lazy in doing Yahweh's work be cursed! May anyone who keeps his sword back from shedding blood be cursed!
11 Moabi ezalaki na kimia wuta bolenge na yango lokola masanga ya vino oyo baningisi te, oyo babongoli na mbeki mosusu te, mpo ete etikala nanu kokende na bowumbu te. Boye, elengi na yango ebongwana te mpe solo na yango etikala kaka ndenge ya kala.
Moab has felt secure since he was young. He is like his wine that has never been poured from pot to pot. He has never gone into captivity. Therefore he tastes as good as ever; his flavor remains unchanged.
12 Kasi na mikolo ekoya, » elobi Yawe, « nakotindela Moabi bato oyo bakobongola yango lokola masanga ya vino na mbeki mosusu: bakosopa yango, bakosilisa yango na mbeki mpe bakobuka mbeki na yango.
So see, the days are coming—this is Yahweh's declaration—when I will send him those who will tip him over and pour out all his pots and shatter his jars.
13 Boye, Moabi ekoyoka soni likolo ya Kemoshi ndenge bato ya Isalaele bayokaki soni tango batiaki mitema na Beteli.
Then Moab will be ashamed of Chemosh just as the house of Israel was ashamed of Bethel, their object of trust.
14 Ndenge nini bokoki koloba: ‹ Tozali basoda ya mpiko, bato ya makasi, bilombe ya bitumba? ›
How can you say, 'We are soldiers, powerful fighting men'?
15 Mokili ya Moabi ekobebisama, mpe bakobotola bingumba na yango na makasi; bilenge mibali oyo Moabi etielaka motema bakokufa na mopanga, » elobi Mokonzi oyo Kombo na Ye ezali Yawe, Mokonzi ya mampinga.
Moab will be devastated and its cities attacked. For its finest young men have gone down to the place of slaughter. This is the king's declaration! Yahweh of hosts is his name.
16 « Kobebisama ya Moabi ezali na nzela, pasi na yango ekoya na lombangu penza.
Moab's disaster is soon to happen; calamity is hurrying quickly.
17 Bino bazalani nyonso ya Moabi, bosalela ye matanga; bino bato oyo boyebi sango ya lokumu na ye, boloba: ‹ Ah, tala ndenge lingenda ya nguya, lingenda ya bokonzi ya nkembo, ebukani! ›
All you who are around Moab, wail; and all you who know its fame, shout this, 'Woe, the strong staff, the honored rod, has been broken.'
18 Oh bato ya elenge mwasi Diboni, botika nkembo na bino mpe bovanda na esobe; pamba te moto oyo akoya kobundisa Moabi akoya mpe kobundisa bino mpe kobebisa bingumba na bino oyo batonga makasi!
Come down from your honored place and sit on the dry ground, you daughter living in Dibon. For the one who will destroy Moab is attacking you, the one who will destroy your strongholds.
19 Bino bavandi ya Aroeri, botelema na nzela mpe botala malamu, botuna mobali oyo azali kokima mpe mwasi oyo asili kobikisa bomoi na ye soki makambo nini esili kosalema!
Stand on the road and watch, you people who live in Aroer. Ask the ones who are fleeing and escaping. Say, 'What has happened?'
20 Moabi ezali na soni mpo ete esili kokweya. Bolela mpe boganga, bobelela na Arinoni ete mokili ya Moabi ebebisami!
Moab has been shamed, for it has been shattered. Howl and lament; shout for help. Tell it to people by the Arnon River that Moab has been devastated.
21 Kosambisama ekweyi na mokili ya etando ya likolo ya bangomba: na Oloni, na Yakatsi mpe na Mefati,
Now punishment has come to the hill country, to Holon, Jahzah, and Mephaath,
22 na Diboni, na Nebo mpe na Beti-Diblatayimi,
to Dibon, Nebo, and Beth Diblathaim,
23 na Kiriatayimi, na Beti-Gamuli mpe na Beti-Meoni,
to Kiriathaim, Beth Gamul, and Beth Meon,
24 na Kerioti mpe na Botsira, na bingumba nyonso ya Moabi, ezala oyo ezali mosika to oyo ezali pene.
To Kerioth and Bozrah, and to all the cities in the land of Moab— the farthest and the closest cities.
25 Liseke ya Moabi ebukani mpe loboko na ye ekatani, » elobi Yawe.
The horn of Moab has been hacked off; its arm has been broken—this is Yahweh's declaration.
26 « Bolangwisa ye masanga, pamba te abetaki tembe na Yawe! Tala ye Moabi ndenge azali kobaluka kati na bisanza na ye! Tika ete, ye mpe, akoma eloko ya maseki!
Make him drunk, because he acted proudly against Yahweh. Let Moab wallow in his vomit, and let him be an object of ridicule.
27 Boni, Isalaele azalaki eloko ya maseki te na miso na bino? Bokangaki ye kati na miyibi mpo ete bokoma koseka ye tango nyonso bokolobela kombo na ye?
For did not Israel become an object for laughter to you? Was he found among thieves, so that you shook your head at him as often as you spoke about him?
28 Bino bavandi ya Moabi, bosundola bingumba na bino mpe bokende kovanda kati na mabanga! Bozala lokola ebenga oyo etongaka zala na yango kati na mabanga.
Abandon the cities and camp on the cliffs, inhabitants of Moab. Become like a dove that is nesting over the mouth of a hole in the rocks.
29 Toyokaki sango ya lolendo ya Moabi, lolendo oyo eleka penza ndelo! Tala ndenge amatisaka mapeka! Atondi na lofundu, azali na monoko makasi, mpe motema na ye emikitisaka te.
We have heard of Moab's pride—his arrogance, his haughtiness, his pride, his self-glory and the conceit in his heart.
30 Nayebi ete monoko makasi na ye ezali kaka pamba, » elobi Yawe, « mpe lolendo na ye esalaka eloko moko te.
This is Yahweh's declaration—I myself know his defiant speech, which amounts to nothing, like his deeds.
31 Yango wana nazali kolela mpo na Moabi, nazali kolela mpo na Moabi nyonso; nazali kosala matanga mpo na bato ya Kiri-Eresheti.
So I will howl a lament for Moab, and I will shout in sorrow for all of Moab. I will lament for the people of Kir Hareseth.
32 Oh elanga ya vino ya Sibima, nazali kolela mpo na yo ndenge engumba Yaezeri ezali kolela! Bitape na yo epanzani kino koleka mayi monene, ekomi kino na mayi monene Yaezeri. Mobebisi akweyeli mbuma ya bilanga na yo mpe mbuma ya vino na yo.
I will weep for you more than I did for Jazer, vine of Sibmah! Your branches passed across the Salt Sea and reached as far as Jazer. The destroyers have attacked your summer fruit and your wine.
33 Esengo mpe kosepela esili kolimwa na bilanga mpe na bazamba ya Moabi; nakawusi vino kati na bikamolelo na bango, mpe moto oyo akokamola yango na esengo azali te. Atako bato bazali koganga kasi ezali makelele ya esengo te.
So celebration and rejoicing have been taken away from the fruit trees and the land of Moab. I have put an end to the wine from their winepresses. They will not tread with joyful shouts. Any shouts will not be shouts of joy.
34 Makelele mpe koganga ezali komata wuta na Eshiboni kino na Eleale mpe Yakatsi, wuta na Tsoari kino koleka Oronayimi mpe Egilati-Shelishiya; pamba te, ezala mayi ya Nimirimi esili kokawuka.
From the shouts at Heshbon as far as Elealeh, their sound is heard at Jahaz, from Zoar to Horonaim and Eglath Shelishiyah, since even the waters of Nimrim have dried up.
35 Nakoboma bato nyonso oyo bakendaka na bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe batumbaka malasi ya ansa lokola mbeka epai ya banzambe na bango, kati na mokili ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.
For I will put an end to anyone in Moab who makes sacrifices on the high places and burns incense to his gods—this is Yahweh's declaration.
36 « Mpe motema na Ngai ezali kolela Moabi ndenge flite ebetaka, ezali kolela lokola flite mpo na bato ya Kiri-Eresheti. Bomengo na bango nyonso esili kobunga.
So my heart is lamenting for Moab like a flute. My heart is lamenting like flutes for the people of Kir Hareseth. The riches they gained are gone.
37 Bakokoli suki ya mito ya bato nyonso, bakati moto moko na moko mandefu mpe bazokisi moto moko na moko na loboko.
For every head is bald and every beard shaved. Incisions are on every hand, and sackcloth is around their waists.
38 Na likolo ya bandako nyonso ya Moabi mpe na bisika nyonso oyo bato balekelaka, ezali na likambo mosusu te, kaka ebembe; pamba te nabebisi Moabi lokola eloko oyo bato balingaka te, » elobi Yawe.
There is mourning everywhere, on every flat roof of Moab and in Moab's plazas. For I have destroyed Moab like pots that no one wants—this is Yahweh's declaration.
39 « Tala ndenge nini apanzani, tala ndenge nini bazali kolela! Ndenge nini Moabi apesi mokongo na soni! Moabi akomi eloko ya kotiola, eloko ya koyoka na miso ya bato nyonso oyo bazingeli ye. »
How it has been shattered! How they howl in their lamenting! Moab turns its back in shame! So Moab will become an object of derision and a terror to all those who are around him.”
40 Tala liloba oyo Yawe alobi: « Tala ndenge nini mpongo ezali kokita na elulu mpe etandi mapapu na yango likolo ya Moabi.
For Yahweh says this, “See, the enemy will come flying like an eagle, spreading out his wings over Moab.
41 Bakobotola Kerioti mpe bandako na yango oyo batonga makasi. Na mokolo wana, mitema ya basoda ya mpiko ya Moabi ekokoma lokola motema ya mwasi oyo azali na pasi ya kobota.
Kerioth has been captured, and its strongholds have been seized. For in that day the hearts of Moab's soldiers will be like the hearts of women in birth labor.
42 Mokili ya Moabi ekobebisama mpe ekotikala lisusu ekolo te; pamba te ebetaki tembe na Yawe.
So Moab will be destroyed and be no longer a people, because he made himself to be great against Yahweh.
43 Somo, libulu mpe motambo ezali kozela bino bato ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.
Terror and the pit, and a trap are coming on you, inhabitant of Moab—this is Yahweh's declaration.
44 « Moto nyonso oyo akokima somo akokweya na libulu, mpe moto nyonso oyo akobima na libulu akokangama na motambo, pamba te nakoyeisa mobu ya etumbu na mokili ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe.
Anyone who flees because of terror will fall into the pit, and anyone who climbs out of the pit will be caught in the trap, for I will bring this on them in the year of my vengeance against them—this is Yahweh's declaration.
45 « Bato oyo bazali kokima bakozanga lisungi na elili ya engumba ya Eshiboni, pamba te moto moko ewuti na Eshiboni, moto ebimi na ndako ya mokonzi Sikoni, etumbi bandako batonga makasi ya Moabi mpe mito ya bato ya lolendo.
The ones who flee will stand in the shadow of Heshbon without any strength, for fire will go out from Heshbon, flame from the middle of Sihon. It will devour the forehead of Moab and the top of the heads of the boastful people.
46 Oh Moabi, mawa na yo! Bato ya Kemoshi babebisami, bana na yo ya mibali bakangami na bowumbu, mpe bana na yo ya basi bakokende na bowumbu!
Woe to you, Moab! Chemosh's people are destroyed, For your sons are taken as captives and your daughters into captivity.
47 Nzokande, na mikolo ekoya, nakozongisa lokumu ya Moabi, » elobi Yawe. Kosambisama ya Moabi esuki awa.
But I will restore the fortunes of Moab in later days—this is Yahweh's declaration.” The judgment on Moab ends here.
