Ezra 8
1 And these [are] the heads of their families, the leaders that went up with me in the reign of Arthasastha the king of Babylon.
Tala bakambi ya mabota, kolanda ndenge babotamela, oyo bazongaki elongo na ngai, wuta na Babiloni, na tango Aritakizerisesi azalaki mokonzi:
2 Of the sons of Phinees; Gerson: of the sons of Ithamar; Daniel: of the sons of David; Attus.
Kati na bakitani ya Pineasi: Gerishomi. Kati na bakitani ya Itamari: Daniele. Kati na bakitani ya Davidi: Atushi.

5 And of the sons of Zathoes; Sechenias the son of Aziel, and with him three hundred males.

8 And of the sons of Saphatia; Zabadias the son of Michael, and with him eighty males.
Kati na bakitani ya Shefatia: Zebadia, mwana mobali ya Mikaeli, elongo na bato na ye tuku mwambe.
9 And of the sons of Joab; Abadia the son of Jeiel, and with him two hundred and eighteen males.
Kati na bakitani ya Joabi: Abidiasi, mwana mobali ya Yeyeli, elongo na bato na ye nkama mibale na zomi na mwambe.
10 And of the sons of Baani; Selimuth the son of Josephia, and with him a hundred and sixty males.
Kati na bakitani ya Bani: Shelomiti, mwana mobali ya Yosifia, elongo na bato na ye nkama moko na tuku motoba.
11 And of the sons of Babi; Zacharias the son of Babi, and with him twenty-eight males.
Kati na bakitani ya Bebayi: Zakari, mwana mobali ya Bebayi, elongo na bato na ye tuku mibale na mwambe.
12 And of the sons of Asgad; Joanan the son of Accatan, and with him a hundred and ten males.
Kati na bakitani ya Azigadi: Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Akatani, elongo na bato na ye nkama moko na zomi.
13 And of the sons of Adonicam [were the] last, and these [were] their names, Eliphalat, Jeel, and Samaea, and with them sixty males.
Kati na bakitani ya Adonikami: bana ya suka oyo bakombo na bango ezalaki Elifeleti, Yeyeli mpe Shemaya, elongo na bato na bango tuku motoba.
14 And of the sons of Baguae, Uthai, and Zabud, and with him seventy males.
Kati na bakitani ya Bigivayi: Utayi mpe Zabudi elongo na bato na bango tuku sambo.
15 And I gathered them to the river that comes to Evi, and we encamped there three days: and I reviewed the people and the priests, and found none of the sons of Levi there.
Nasangisaki bango pene ya ebale oyo ezalaki kotiola na ngambo ya Akava, mpe tovandaki kuna mikolo misato. Tango natalaki malamu bato mpe Banganga-Nzambe, namonaki ata Molevi moko te kuna.
16 And I sent men of understanding to Eleazar, to Ariel, to Semeias, and to Alonam, and to Jarib, and to Elnatham, and to Nathan, and to Zacharias, and to Mesollam, and to Joarim, and to Elnathan.
Boye nabengisaki Eliezeri, Arieli, Shemaya, Elinatani, Yaribi, Elinatani, Natan, Zakari mpe Meshulami oyo bazalaki bakambi; Yoyaribi mpe Elinatani oyo bazalaki bato ya mayele.
17 And I forwarded them to the rulers with the money of the place, and I put words in their mouth to speak to their brethren the Athinim with the money of the place, that they should bring us singers for the house of our God.
Natindaki bango epai ya Ido, mokambi ya mboka Kasifia; nayebisaki bango makambo oyo basengeli koloba na Ido mpe bandeko na ye ya mosala, basali ya Tempelo, oyo bazalaki kovanda na Kasifia, mpo ete bamemela biso basali mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso.
18 And they came to us, as the good hand of our God was upon us, even a man of understanding of the sons of Mooli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, and at the commencement came his sons and his brethren, eighteen.
Lokola loboko ya ngolu ya Nzambe na biso ezalaki likolo na biso, bamemelaki biso Sherebia, moto ya mayele, kati na bakitani ya Maali, mwana mobali ya Levi, mwana mobali ya Isalaele, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali, bango nyonso zomi na mwambe,
19 And Asebia, and Isaia of the sons of Merari, his brethren and his sons, twenty.
elongo na Ashabia mpe Ezayi, bakitani ya Merari, elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe bana na bango ya mibali. Bango nyonso bazalaki tuku mibale.
20 And of the Nathinim; whom David and the princes had appointed for the service of the Levites [there were] two hundred and twenty Nathinim; all were gathered by [their] names.
Bamemaki lisusu basali ya Tempelo, nkama mibale na tuku mibale, bakitani ya bato oyo Davidi mpe lisanga ya bakalaka na ye batiaki mpo na kosunga Balevi. Batangaki bango nyonso na bakombo na bango.
21 And I proclaimed there a fast, at the river Aue, that [we] should humble ourselves before our God, to seek of him a straight way for us, and for our children, and for all our property.
Kuna, pene ya ebale Akava, napesaki mitindo ya kokila bilei mpo na komikitisa liboso ya Nzambe na biso mpe kosenga Ye mobembo malamu mpo na biso, mpo na bana na biso mpe mpo na biloko na biso nyonso.
22 For I was ashamed to ask of the king a guard and horsemen to save us from the enemy in the way: for we had spoken to the king, saying, The hand of our God [is] upon all that seek him, for good; but his power and his wrath [are] upon all that forsake him.
Nayokaki soni mpo na kosenga epai ya mokonzi basoda mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, mpo na kobatela biso na nzela liboso ya banguna na biso; pamba te tolobaki na mokonzi: « Loboko ya ngolu ya Nzambe na biso ezali likolo ya moto nyonso oyo alukaka Ye, kasi kanda makasi na Ye ekitelaka bato nyonso oyo basundolaka Ye. »
23 So we fasted, and asked of our God concerning this; and he listened to us.
Boye, tokilaki bilei mpe tosengaki ngolu yango epai ya Nzambe na biso, mpe Ye ayanolaki libondeli na biso.
24 And I gave charge to twelve of the chiefs of the priests, to Saraia, to Asabia, and ten of their brethren with them.
Bongo na sima, natiaki kati na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bakonzi zomi na mibale: Sherebia, Ashabia elongo na bandeko na bango zomi.
25 And I weighed to them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of the first fruits of the house of our God, which the king, and his councillors, and his princes, and all Israel that were found, had dedicated.
Namekaki liboso na bango makabo ya palata, ya wolo mpe bisalelo nyonso oyo mokonzi, bapesi toli na ye, bakalaka na ye mpe Isalaele mobimba bapesaki mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso.
26 I even weighed into their hands six hundred and fifty talents of silver, and a hundred silver vessels, and a hundred talents of gold;
Napesaki bango kilo nkoto tuku mibale ya palata, kilo nkoto misato ya bisalelo basala na palata, kilo nkoto misato ya wolo,
27 and twenty golden bowls, [weighing] about a thousand drachmas, and superior vessels of fine shining brass, [precious] as gold.
bakopo ya wolo tuku mibale oyo ezali na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya wolo nkoto moko mpe biloko mibale ya kitoko basala na bronze oyo engalaka lokola wolo.
28 And I said to them, You [are] holy to the Lord; and the vessels [are] holy; and the silver and the gold are free will offerings to the Lord God of our fathers.
Nalobaki na bango: « Bino elongo na biloko oyo, bobulisami mpo na Yawe. Palata mpe wolo oyo ezali makabo oyo bato bakati bango moko kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango, epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya tata na bino.
29 Be watchful and keep them, until you weigh [them] before the chief priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of families in Jerusalem, at the chambers of the house of the Lord.
Bosenzela mpe bobatela yango malamu kino tango bokomeka kilo na yango liboso ya bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ya Balevi mpe ya bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele, kati na bashambre ya Tempelo ya Yawe, na Yelusalemi. »
30 So the priests and the Levites took the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring to Jerusalem into the house of our God.
Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bayambaki palata, wolo mpe bisalelo ya bule oyo bamekaki kilo na yango, mpo na komema yango na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso, na Yelusalemi.
31 And we departed from the river of Aue on the twelfth day of the first month, to come to Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was upon us, and delivered us from the hand of the enemy and adversary in the way.
Na mokolo ya zomi na mibale ya sanza ya liboso, tolongwaki na ebale Akava mpo na kokende na Yelusalemi. Loboko ya Nzambe na biso ezalaki likolo na biso, mpe abatelaki biso na nzela liboso ya banguna mpe ya bato ya mobulu.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and abode there three days.
Tokomaki na Yelusalemi mpe topemaki kuna mikolo misato.
33 And it came to pass on the fourth day that we weighed the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, in the house of our God, into the hand of Merimoth the son of Uria the priest; and with him [was] Eleazar the son of Phinees, and with them Jozabad the son of Jesus, and Noadia the son of Banaia, the Levites.
Na mokolo ya minei, tomekaki kilo ya palata, ya wolo mpe bisalelo ya bule kati na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso, liboso ya kopesa yango na maboko ya Nganga-Nzambe Meremoti, mwana mobali ya Uri; azalaki elongo na Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Pineasi, mpe Balevi Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Jozue, mpe Noadia, mwana mobali ya Binuwi.
34 All things [were reckoned] by number and weight, and the whole weight was written [down].
Batangaki mpe bamekaki kilo ya biloko nyonso; mpe bakomaki yango na buku kaka na tango wana.
35 At that time the children of the banishment that came from the captivity offered whole burnt offerings to the God of Israel, twelve calves for all Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, twelve goats for a sin-offering; all whole burnt offerings to the Lord.
Bato oyo bakendeki na bowumbu bazongaki wuta na bowumbu mpe babonzaki mpo na Isalaele mobimba lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai ya Nzambe ya Isalaele: bangombe ya mibali zomi na mibale, bameme ya mibali tuku libwa na motoba, bana meme tuku sambo na sambo, mpe bantaba zomi na mibale lokola mbeka ya masumu. Babonzaki nyonso lokola mbeka ya kotumba mpo na Yawe.
36 And they gave the king's mandate to the king's lieutenants, and the governors beyond the river: and they honoured the people and the house of God.
Batindaki lisusu sango ya mitindo ya mokonzi epai ya bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki na bituka mpe epai ya bayangeli ya etuka ya ngambo ya weste ya ebale Efrate, oyo basungaki bato mpe Tempelo ya Nzambe.
