1 Kings 8
1 Then Solomon assembled the elders of Israel, and all the heads of the tribes, the princes of the fathers of the sons of Israel, to king Solomon in Jerusalem, to bring up the ark of the covenant of Jehovah out of the city of David, which is Zion.
Salomo abengisaki, na Yelusalemi, bakambi nyonso ya mabota ya Isalaele, bakambi nyonso ya bituka mpe ya mabota ya bato ya Isalaele mpo na komema Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe wuta na Siona, engumba ya Davidi.
2 And all the men of Israel assembled themselves to king Solomon at the feast, in the month Ethanim, which is the seventh month.
Bato nyonso ya Isalaele basanganaki pene ya mokonzi Salomo, na feti monene, na sanza ya Etanimi oyo ezali sanza ya sambo.
3 And all the elders of Israel came, and the priests took up the ark.
Tango bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele bakomaki, Banganga-Nzambe batombolaki Sanduku.
4 And they brought up the ark of Jehovah, and the tent of meeting, and all the holy vessels that were in the tent; even these the priests and the Levites brought up.
Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamemaki Sanduku ya Yawe, Ndako ya kapo ya Bokutani mpe bisalelo nyonso ya bule oyo ezalaki kati na yango.
5 And king Solomon and all the congregation of Israel, that were assembled to him, were with him before the ark, sacrificing sheep and oxen that could not be counted nor numbered for multitude.
Mokonzi Salomo mpe lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele oyo esanganaki epai na ye liboso ya Sanduku babonzaki lokola mbeka bameme mpe bangombe oyo balongaki kotanga te mpo na koyeba motango na yango, pamba te ezalaki ebele penza.
6 And the priests brought in the ark of the covenant of Jehovah to its place, into the oracle of the house, to the most holy place, even under the wings of the cherubim.
Banganga-Nzambe batiaki Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe na esika na yango, kati na Tempelo, kati na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, na se ya mapapu ya basheribe.
7 For the cherubim spread forth their wings over the place of the ark, and the cherubim covered the ark and the staves of it above.
Mapapu ya basheribe ezalaki ya kofungwama na likolo ya esika oyo Sanduku ezalaki, bongo ezipaki Sanduku mpe banzete ya komemela yango.
8 And the staves were so long that the ends of the staves were seen from the holy place before the oracle. But they were not seen outside. And there they are to this day.
Mpo ete banzete yango elekaki milayi, basonge na yango ezalaki komonana wuta na Esika ya bule oyo ezali liboso ya Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, kasi ezalaki komonana te wuta na libanda. Etikala wana kino na mokolo ya lelo.
9 There was nothing in the ark except the two tablets of stone which Moses put there at Horeb when Jehovah made a covenant with the sons of Israel, when they came out of the land of Egypt.
Kati na Sanduku, ezalaki na eloko mosusu te longola kaka bitando mibale ya mabanga oyo Moyize atiaki na Orebi epai wapi Yawe asalaki boyokani elongo na bana ya Isalaele tango babimaki na Ejipito.
10 And it came to pass, when the priests came out of the holy place, that the cloud filled the house of Jehovah,
Na tango Banganga-Nzambe babimaki na Esika-Oyo-Eleki-Bule, lipata ezipaki Tempelo ya Yawe;
11 so that the priests could not stand to minister by reason of the cloud, for the glory of Jehovah filled the house of Jehovah.
mpe Banganga-Nzambe bakokaki lisusu te kotelema kati na yango mpo na kosala mosala na bango mpo na lipata, pamba te nkembo na Yawe etondisaki Tempelo na Ye.
12 Then Solomon spoke, Jehovah has said that he would dwell in the thick darkness.
Bongo, Salomo alobaki: — Yawe alobaki ete akovanda kati na esika ya molili!
13 I have surely built thee a house of habitation, a place for thee to dwell in forever.
Mpe ngai natongeli Yo ndako ya lokumu, esika oyo okovanda mpo na libela.
14 And the king turned his face around, and blessed all the assembly of Israel. And all the assembly of Israel stood.
Mokonzi abalukaki mpe apambolaki lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele. Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ezalaki ya kotelema.
15 And he said, Blessed be Jehovah, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth to David my father, and has with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
Alobaki: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, akumisama; Ye oyo, na monoko na Ye moko, alobaki na Davidi, tata na ngai, mpe akokisi, na loboko na Ye moko, makambo oyo alakaki:
16 Since the day that I brought forth my people Israel out of Egypt, I chose no city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be there, but I chose David to be over my people Israel.
« Wuta mokolo oyo nabimisaki bato na Ngai, Isalaele, na Ejipito, naponaki engumba moko te kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete batonga kuna Tempelo epai wapi Kombo na Ngai ekozala; kasi naponaki Davidi mpo ete akamba bato na Ngai, Isalaele! »
17 Now it was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Tata na ngai, Davidi, azalaki na makanisi ya kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
18 But Jehovah said to David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house for my name, thou did well that it was in thy heart.
Kasi Yawe alobaki na Davidi, tata na ngai: « Osali malamu lokola ozwi makanisi ya kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai.
19 Nevertheless thou shall not build the house, but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house for my name.
Kasi ezali yo te moto okotonga Tempelo yango; ezali nde mwana na yo ya mobali, oyo akobima na mokongo na yo moko, moto akotonga Tempelo yango mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai. »
20 And Jehovah has established his word that he spoke, for I have risen up in the place of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah promised, and have built the house for the name of Jehovah, the God of Israel.
Yawe akokisi elaka na Ye. Nakitani na Davidi, tata na ngai, navandi na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki, mpe natongi Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
21 And there I have set a place for the ark, in which is the covenant of Jehovah, which he made with our fathers when he brought them out of the land of Egypt.
Nabongisi kuna esika mpo na Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na batata na biso tango abimisaki bango na mokili ya Ejipito.
22 And Solomon stood before the altar of Jehovah in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward heaven.
Salomo atelemaki liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe; mpe na miso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, atombolaki maboko likolo
23 And he said, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, there is no God like thee, in heaven above, or on earth beneath, who keeps covenant and loving kindness with thy servants, who walk before thee with all their heart,
mpe asambelaki: « Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, ezali na nzambe moko te oyo akokani na Yo, ezala kuna na likolo to awa na se! Obatelaka boyokani mpe bolingo na Yo mpo na basali na Yo, oyo batambolaka kolanda mokano na Yo na motema na bango mobimba.
24 who have kept with thy servant David my father that which thou did promise him. Yea, thou spoke with thy mouth, and have fulfilled it with thy hand, as it is this day.
Solo, okokisi bilaka oyo opesaki na Davidi, tata na ngai mpe mosali na Yo; makambo oyo olobaki na monoko na Yo, okokisi yango na nguya ya loboko na Yo, ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.
25 Now therefore, O Jehovah, the God of Israel, keep with thy servant David my father that which thou have promised him, saying, There shall not fail thee a man in my sight to sit on the throne of Israel, if only thy sons take heed to their way, to walk before me as thou have walked before me.
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, kokisa mpe elaka mosusu oyo opesaki na Davidi, tata na ngai mpe mosali na Yo, tango olobaki na ye: ‹ Okozangaka te moto oyo akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele, na miso na Ngai, soki bana na yo bakotambola malamu liboso na Ngai mpe bakotosa mibeko na Ngai, ndenge yo otamboli kolanda mokano na Ngai. ›
26 Now therefore, O God of Israel, let thy word, I pray thee, be verified, which thou spoke to thy servant David my father.
Sik’oyo, oh Nzambe ya Isalaele, nabondeli Yo, tika ete elaka yango oyo opesaki na Davidi, tata na ngai mpe mosali na Yo, ekokisama!
27 But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Behold, heaven and the heaven of heavens cannot contain thee. How much less this house that I have built!
Kasi, boni, Nzambe akoki solo kovanda na mokili? Soki kutu Likolo mpe Likolo oyo eleki likolo ekoki kokoka Yo te, bongo ekozala boni mpo na Tempelo oyo natongi!
28 Yet have thou respect to the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken to the cry and to the prayer which thy servant prays before thee this day,
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, yoka na bokebi losambo mpe libondeli na ngai, mowumbu na Yo! Yoka koganga mpe libondeli oyo mowumbu na Yo azali kotombola epai na Yo na mokolo ya lelo.
29 that thine eyes may be open toward this house night and day, even toward the place whereof thou have said, My name shall be there, to hearken to the prayer which thy servant shall pray toward this place.
Tika ete, moyi mpe butu, miso na Yo ezala ya kofungwama mpo na kotala Tempelo oyo, esika oyo olobaki na tina na yango: ‹ Kombo na Ngai ekozala awa. › Yoka losambo oyo mowumbu na Yo azali kotombola na esika oyo.
30 And hearken thou to the supplication of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, when they shall pray toward this place. Yea, hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and when thou hear, forgive.
Okoyoka libondeli oyo mowumbu na Yo mpe bato na Yo, Isalaele, bakotombola epai na Yo na kotala na ngambo ya esika oyo! Tika ete oyoka biso wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo; yoka mpe limbisa!
31 If a man sins against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and he comes and swears before thine altar in this house,
Soki moto asali lisumu epai ya mozalani na ye, mpe batindi ye na makasi ete alapa ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe, liboso ya etumbelo na Yo kati na Tempelo oyo,
32 then hear thou in heaven, and do, and judge thy servants, condemning the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head, and justifying the righteous, to give him according to his righteousness.
yoka wuta na Likolo; sala mpe kata makambo kati na bawumbu na Yo mpo na kokweyisa moto oyo asali mabe mpe komemisa ye ngambo ya mabe na ye, kolanda etamboli na ye, mpe mpo na kolongisa moto ya sembo mpe kosalela ye kolanda bosembo na ye.
33 When thy people Israel are smitten down before the enemy because they have sinned against thee, if they turn again to thee, and confess thy name, and pray and make supplication to thee in this house,
Tango banguna bakolonga bato na Yo, Isalaele, mpo ete basali lisumu liboso na Yo, soki babongoli mitema mpo na kozongela Yo, basanzoli Kombo na Yo, basambeli mpe babondeli Yo, kati na Tempelo oyo,
34 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and bring them again to the land which thou gave to their fathers.
yoka wuta na Likolo, limbisa masumu ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe zongisa bango na mabele oyo opesaki batata na bango.
35 When heaven is shut up, and there is no rain because they have sinned against thee, if they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin when thou afflict them,
Tango likolo ekokangama mpe mvula ekozala lisusu te mpo ete basali masumu liboso na Yo, soki basambeli na kotala na ngambo ya esika oyo, basanzoli Kombo na Yo mpe batiki masumu na bango, pamba te osili koyokisa bango soni,
36 then hear thou in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel, when thou teach them the good way wherein they should walk, and send rain upon thy land, which thou have given to thy people for an inheritance.
yoka bango wuta na likolo, limbisa masumu ya bawumbu na Yo mpe ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, —tango osili kolakisa bango nzela malamu oyo basengeli kolanda— mpe tinda mvula na mokili na Yo, mokili oyo opesaki lokola libula epai ya bato na Yo.
37 If there be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, if there be blight, mildew, locust or caterpillar, if their enemy besiege them in the land of their cities, whatever plague, whatever sickness there be,
Tango nzala makasi to bokono makasi to moto to bokawuki to kopola ya bambuma to mabanki to mankoko ekokota kati na mokili, tango banguna bakozingela bato na Yo kati na mokili na bango, na bikuke ya bingumba na bango; tango pasi to bokono ya lolenge nyonso ekokweyela bango,
38 whatever prayer and supplication be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, who shall know every man the plague of his own heart, and spread forth his hands toward this house,
soki, wana bato na Yo, Isalaele, bayoki mawa makasi kati na mitema na bango mpo na pasi to bokono yango, moko na moko atomboli maboko na ye na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo, asambeli to abondeli Yo,
39 then hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and forgive, and do, and render to every man according to all his ways, whose heart thou know (for thou, even thou only, know the hearts of all the sons of men),
yoka ye wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo, limbisa, sala mpe zongisela moto na moto kolanda etamboli na ye, mpo ete oyebi motema ya moto moko na moko. Solo, Yo kaka nde oyebi mitema ya bato.
40 that they may fear thee all the days that they live in the land which thou gave to our fathers.
Sala bongo mpo ete bana ya Isalaele batosa Yo mikolo nyonso oyo bakovanda na mabele oyo opesaki epai na batata na biso.
41 Moreover concerning the foreigner who is not of thy people Israel, when he shall come out of a far country for thy name's sake
Ndenge moko mpe mpo na mopaya oyo azali te na molongo ya Isalaele, bato na Yo: wana akowuta na mokili ya mosika, mpo na Kombo na Yo,
42 (for they shall hear of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thine outstretched arm), when he shall come and pray toward this house,
pamba te bakoyoka sango ya Kombo monene na Yo, ya loboko na Yo ya nguya mpe esembolama; soki ayei mpe asambeli na kotala na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo,
43 hear thou in heaven thy dwelling-place, and do according to all that the foreigner calls to thee for, that all the peoples of the earth may know thy name, to fear thee, as does thy people Israel, and that they may know that this house which I have built is called by thy name.
yoka wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo, mpe salela ye nyonso oyo akosenga Yo, mpo ete bikolo nyonso ya mokili bayeba Kombo na Yo, batosa Yo lokola Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe bayeba ete Tempelo oyo natongi ebulisami nde mpo na Kombo na Yo.
44 If thy people go out to battle against their enemy, by whatever way thou shall send them, and they pray to Jehovah toward the city which thou have chosen, and toward the house which I have built for thy name,
Tango bato na Yo bakokende kobundisa banguna na bango na nzela oyo okolakisa bango, soki basambeli Yawe na kotala na ngambo ya engumba oyo oponaki mpe na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo natongi mpo na Kombo na Yo,
45 then hear thou in heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
yoka wuta na Likolo losambo mpe libondeli na bango, mpe longisa bango.
46 If they sin against thee (for there is no man that sins not), and thou be angry with them, and deliver them to the enemy, so that they carry them away captive to the land of the enemy, afar off or near,
Tango bana ya Isalaele bakosala masumu liboso na Yo, pamba te moto nyonso asalaka masumu, bongo Yo osilikeli bango mpe okabi bango na maboko ya banguna oyo bamemi bango na bowumbu, na mokili ya banguna, ezala ya mosika to ya pene,
47 yet if they shall rethink themselves in the land where they are carried captive, and turn again, and make supplication to thee in the land of those who carried them captive, saying, We have sinned, and have done perversely, we have dealt wickedly,
mpe soki, wuta na mokili ya bowumbu, basosoli, babongoli mitema, babondeli Yo kati na mokili ya bato oyo bamemaki bango na bowumbu mpe balobi: ‹ Tosalaki masumu, tosalaki bambeba, tosalaki makambo mabe; ›
48 if they return to thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their enemies who carried them captive, and pray to thee toward their land, which thou gave to their fathers, the city which thou have chosen, and the house which I have built for thy name,
soki, wuta na mokili ya banguna na bango epai wapi bamemaki bango lokola bawumbu, basengi Yo bolimbisi na mitema mpe na milimo na bango mobimba; soki basambeli Yo na kotala na ngambo ya mokili na bango, oyo opesaki epai na batata na bango, na ngambo ya engumba oyo oponaki mpe na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo natongi mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo;
49 then hear thou their prayer and their supplication in heaven thy dwelling-place, and maintain their case,
yoka wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo; yoka losambo mpe mabondeli na bango, longisa bosembo na bango,
50 and forgive thy people who have sinned against thee, and all their transgressions by which they have transgressed against thee, and give them compassion before those who carried them captive, that they may have compassion on them
limbisa bato na Yo na masumu mpe mabe nyonso oyo basalaki liboso na Yo mpe sala ete banguna na bango bayokela bango mawa.
51 (for they are thy people, and thine inheritance, which thou brought forth out of Egypt, from the midst of the furnace of iron);
Pamba te bazali bato na Yo mpe libula na Yo, oyo obimisaki na bowumbu wuta na Ejipito, wuta kati na libulu ya moto makasi oyo banyangwiselaka bibende.
52 that thine eyes may be open to the supplication of thy servant, and to the supplication of thy people Israel, to hearken to them whenever they cry to thee.
Tika ete miso na Yo efungwama wana mowumbu na Yo mpe Isalaele, bato na Yo, bakobondela Yo; yoka bango tango nyonso oyo bakotombola mingongo epai na Yo.
53 For thou separated them from among all the peoples of the earth, to be thine inheritance, as thou spoke by Moses thy servant when thou brought our fathers out of Egypt, O lord Jehovah.
Pamba te, Nkolo Yawe, Yo moko nde oponaki bango kati na mabota nyonso ya mokili mpe otiaki bango pembeni, mpo ete bazala libula na Yo ndenge olobaki na mowumbu na Yo, Moyize, tango obimisaki batata na biso na Ejipito. »
54 And it was so, that, when Solomon had made an end of praying all this prayer and supplication to Jehovah, he arose from before the altar of Jehovah, from kneeling on his knees with his hands spread forth toward heaven.
Tango Salomo asilisaki kosambela mpe kobondela Yawe, atelemaki liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe epai wapi afukamaki mpe atombolaki maboko na ye na likolo.
55 And he stood, and blessed all the assembly of Israel with a loud voice, saying,
Wana atelemaki, apambolaki lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele na mongongo makasi mpe alobaki:
56 Blessed be Jehovah, who has given rest to his people Israel according to all that he promised. There has not failed one word of all his good promise, which he promised by Moses his servant.
« Tika ete Yawe akumisama, Ye oyo apesi kimia na Isalaele, bato na Ye, ndenge alobaki. Kati na maloba na Ye ya kitoko, oyo alobaki na nzela ya Moyize, mowumbu na Ye, moko te ezangi kokokisama.
57 Jehovah our God be with us as he was with our fathers. Let him not leave us, nor forsake us,
Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe na biso, azala elongo na biso ndenge azalaki elongo na batata na biso; atika biso te mpe abwaka biso te;
58 that he may incline our hearts to him, to walk in all his ways, and to keep his commandments, and his statutes, and his ordinances, which he commanded our fathers.
kasi abongola mitema na biso epai na Ye mpo ete tokoka kotambola na nzela na Ye, kobatela mibeko na Ye, malako na Ye mpe mitindo na Ye oyo apesaki na batata na biso.
59 And let these my words, with which I have made supplication before Jehovah, be near to Jehovah our God day and night, that he maintain the cause of his servant, and the cause of his people Israel, as every day shall require,
Tika ete mabondeli na ngai oyo nawuti kotombola epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, ezala liboso na Ye butu mpe moyi; mpe tika ete alongisa mowumbu na Ye mpe Isalaele, bato na Ye, ndenge bosenga na bango ya mokolo na mokolo ezali;
60 that all the peoples of the earth may know that Jehovah, he is God; there is none else.
mpo ete bato nyonso kati na mokili bayeba solo ete Yawe azali Nzambe, mosusu lokola Ye azali te.
61 Let your heart therefore be perfect with Jehovah our God, to walk in his statutes, and to keep his commandments, as at this day.
Tika ete mitema na bino ezala sembo epai na Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpo ete botambola kolanda mibeko na Ye mpe bobatela malako na Ye ndenge bosali yango na mokolo ya lelo. »
62 And the king, and all Israel with him, offered sacrifice before Jehovah.
Mokonzi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele babonzaki bambeka liboso ya Yawe.
63 And Solomon offered for the sacrifice of peace offerings, which he offered to Jehovah, twenty-two thousand oxen, and a hundred and twenty thousand sheep. So the king and all the sons of Israel dedicated the house of Jehovah.
Salomo abonzaki lokola mbeka ya boyokani bangombe nkoto tuku mibale na mibale mpe bampate nkoto nkama moko na tuku mibale. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde mokonzi mpe bato nyonso ya Isalaele babulisaki Tempelo ya Yawe.
64 The same day the king hallowed the middle of the court that was before the house of Jehovah, for there he offered the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings, because the brazen altar that was before Jehovah was too little to receive the burnt offering, and the meal offering, and the fat of the peace offerings.
Na mokolo yango, mokonzi abulisaki lopango ya kati oyo ezalaki liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe abonzaki wana mbeka ya kotumba, makabo ya gato mpe mafuta ya bambeka ya boyokani; pamba te etumbelo ya bronze oyo ezalaki liboso ya Yawe elekaki moke mpo na koyamba bambeka ya kotumba, makabo ya gato mpe mafuta ya bambeka ya boyokani.
65 So Solomon held the feast at that time, and all Israel with him, a great assembly, from the entrance of Hamath to the brook of Egypt, before Jehovah our God, seven days and seven days, even fourteen days.
Na tango wana, Salomo elongo na Isalaele mobimba basalaki feti monene; mpe lisanga monene ya bato oyo bawutaki na Lebo-Amati kino na moluka ya Ejipito batelemaki liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mikolo sambo mpe mikolo sambo mosusu, elingi koloba mikolo zomi na minei.
66 On the eighth day he sent the people away. And they blessed the king, and went to their tents joyful and glad of heart for all the goodness that Jehovah had shown to David his servant, and to Israel his people.
Na mokolo ya mwambe, Salomo azongisaki bato. Bongo bato bapambolaki ye mpe bazongaki na bandako na bango ya kapo na esengo mpe na nsayi na mitema mpo na bolamu nyonso oyo Yawe asalelaki Davidi, mowumbu na Ye, mpe Isalaele, bato na Ye.
