1 Chronicles 28
1 And so David called together all the leaders of Israel, the rulers of the tribes, and those in charge of the companies, who were ministering to the king, and also the tribunes and centurions, and those in charge of the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons, with the eunuchs and the powerful and those most experienced in the army, at Jerusalem.
Davidi abengisaki bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele, na Yelusalemi: bakonzi ya mabota, bakonzi ya masanga ya basoda oyo bazalaki kosalela mokonzi, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama ya basoda, babateli bozwi mpe bibwele ya mokonzi, bato oyo balandelaka bana na ye ya mibali elongo na basali ya ndako ya mokonzi, basoda ya mpiko mpe bato nyonso ya lokumu.
2 And when the king had risen up and was standing, he said: “Listen to me, my brothers and my people. I thought that I would build a house, in which the ark of the covenant of the Lord, the footstool of our God, might rest. And so I prepared everything for its building.
Mokonzi Davidi atelemaki mpe alobaki: — Boyoka ngai, bandeko na ngai mpe bato na ngai: Nazalaki na likanisi ya kotonga esika ya kopema mpo na Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, enyatelo ya makolo ya Nzambe na biso; bongo nabongisaki biloko mpo na kotonga yango.
3 But God said to me: ‘You shall not build a house to my name, because you are a man of war, and have shed blood.’
Kasi Nzambe alobaki na ngai: « Okotonga ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai te, pamba te ozali moto ya bitumba mpe osopaki makila. »
4 Now the Lord God of Israel chose me, out of the entire house of my father, so that I would be king over Israel forever. For from Judah he chose leaders; then from the house of Judah he chose the house of my father; and from the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me as king over all of Israel.
Nzokande, Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, aponaki ngai kati na libota na ngai mobimba mpo ete nazala mokonzi ya Isalaele mpo na libela. Aponaki Yuda mpo ete azala mokonzi; mpe kati na ndako ya Yuda, aponaki libota ya tata na ngai; mpe kati na bana mibali ya tata na ngai, asepelaki kokomisa ngai mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba.
5 Then too, among my sons (for the Lord has given me many sons) he chose Solomon my son, so that he would sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord, over Israel.
Kati na bana na ngai nyonso ya mibali, pamba te Yawe apesi ngai bango ebele, aponaki Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, mpo ete avanda na Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Yawe kati na Isalaele.
6 And he said to me: ‘Solomon your son shall build my house and my courts. For I have chosen him to be to me as a son, and I will be to him as a father.
Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na yo, Salomo, nde akotonga Ndako na Ngai mpe lopango na Ngai, pamba te naponaki ye mpo ete azala mwana mpo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala tata mpo na ye.
7 And I will make firm his kingdom, even unto eternity, if he will persevere in doing my precepts and judgments, as also today.’
Nakolendisa bokonzi na ye mpo na libela soki akangami makasi na mibeko na Ngai ndenge azali kosala yango lelo. »
8 Now therefore, before the entire assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God, so that you may possess the good land, and may bequeath it to your sons after you, even forever.
Sik’oyo, napesi bino mokumba liboso ya Isalaele mobimba, ya lisanga ya Yawe, mpe liboso ya Nzambe na biso, oyo azali koyoka biso: Bosala keba mpo na kolanda mitindo nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo ete bozwa mokili oyo ya kitoko mpe kotika yango lokola libula epai ya bakitani na bino mpo na libela.
9 And as for you, my son Solomon, know the God of your father, and serve him with a perfect heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts, and understands the thoughts of all minds. If you seek him, you will find him. But if you abandon him, he will cast you aside for eternity.
Bongo, yo Salomo, mwana na ngai, yeba Nzambe ya tata na yo mpe salela Ye na motema na yo mobimba mpe na esengo; pamba te Yawe amonaka kino na bozindo ya mitema nyonso mpe asosolaka makanisi na yango nyonso. Soki oluki Ye, okomona Ye; kasi soki atiki Ye, akobwaka yo mpo na libela.
10 Now therefore, since the Lord has chosen you, so that you would build the house of the Sanctuary, be strengthened and accomplish it.”
Yeba sik’oyo ete Yawe aponi yo mpo ete otongela Ye Ndako oyo ekozala Esika na Ye ya Bule. Yika mpiko mpe sala mosala.
11 Then David gave to his son Solomon a description of the portico, and the temple, and the storerooms, and the upper floor, and the innermost rooms, and the house of propitiation,
Davidi apesaki Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, elili ya ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo, ya bandako mosusu ya Tempelo, ya bibombelo na yango, ya bashambre na yango ya likolo, ya bashambre na yango ya kati mpe ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu.
12 and indeed also of all the courts that he had planned, and the outer rooms on all sides, for the treasuries of the house of the Lord, and for the treasuries of the holy things,
Apesaki ye elili ya nyonso oyo molimo atiaki na makanisi na ye na tina na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe, ya bashambre nyonso ya zingazinga, ya biloko ya talo ya Ndako ya Nzambe mpe ya biloko ya bule.
13 and for the divisions of the priests and the Levites: concerning all the works of the house of the Lord and all the items in the ministry of the temple of the Lord.
Davidi apesaki ye mibeko na tina na masanga ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya Balevi, na tina na misala nyonso mpe bisalelo nyonso ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
14 There was gold by weight for every vessel of the ministry, and also silver by weight for the diversity of vessels and equipment.
Mpo na bisalelo ya mosala, Davidi atalisaki kilo ya wolo oyo ekoki mpo na bisalelo nyonso ya wolo; kilo ya palata oyo ekoki mpo na bisalelo nyonso ya palata:
15 Then too, he distributed gold for the lampstands and their lamps, according to the measure of each of the lampstands with their lamps. Similarly also, he distributed silver by weight for the silver lampstands with their lamps, according to the diversity of their measure.
kilo ya wolo mpo na bitelemiselo ya minda basala na wolo mpe minda na yango ya wolo kolanda kilo ya etelemiselo moko na moko ya minda elongo na minda na yango; kilo ya palata mpo na etelemiselo moko na moko ya minda, basala na palata mpe minda na yango ya palata kolanda mosala ya etelemiselo moko na moko ya mwinda;
16 Also, he gave gold for the tables of the presence, according to the diversity of the tables; similarly too, he gave silver for the other tables of silver.
kilo ya wolo mpo na mesa moko na moko ya mapa oyo ebulisami, kilo ya palata mpo na bamesa ya palata;
17 Also, he distributed from the purest gold for the small hooks and the bowls and the censors, as well as for the little lions of gold, in accord with the precise measure of the weight, for lion after lion. Similarly too, for the lions of silver, he set aside a different weight of silver.
kilo ya wolo ya peto mpo na bakanya, basani oyo basalelaka mpo na kosopa mayi, mpe mpo na bakopo ya milayi; kilo ya wolo mpo na kopo moko na moko ya moke moko; kilo ya palata mpo na moko na moko ya bakopo mike ya palata;
18 Then, for the altar on which the incense was burned, he gave the purest gold. And from the same he made the likeness of the chariot of the Cherubim, with extended wings, which is veiling the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
mpe kilo ya wolo ya peto mpo na etumbelo ya malasi. Apesaki ye lisusu elili ya shar ya basheribe ya wolo oyo mapapu na yango ezali ya kofungwama mpe ezipi Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
19 “All these things,” he said, “came to me written by the hand of the Lord, so that I would understand all the works of the pattern.”
Davidi alobaki: — Nyonso oyo nazali na yango na mokanda oyo, ekomami na loboko na Yawe; Ye moko apesi ngai mayele mpo na kososola misala nyonso oyo elili ezali kotalisa.
20 David also said to his son Solomon: “Act manfully, and be strengthened, and carry it out. You should not be afraid, and you should not be dismayed. For the Lord my God will be with you, and he will not send you away, nor will he abandon you, until you have perfected the entire work of the ministry of the house of the Lord.
Davidi alobaki lisusu na Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali: — Yika mpiko mpe sala mosala! Kobanga te, kozala mpe na somo te; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, azali elongo na yo; akotika yo te mpe akobwaka yo te kino mosala nyonso ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekosila.
21 Behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, are standing before you. And they have been prepared, and so they know, both the leaders and the people, how to carry out all your precepts.”
Ezali mpe na masanga ebele ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya Balevi oyo babongisami mpo na misala ya ndenge na ndenge kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Na mosala oyo nyonso, okozwa lisungi ya bato oyo bayebi mosala malamu, oyo bamipesa bango moko mpo na misala ya ndenge na ndenge. Bakonzi mpe bato nyonso bakotosa mitindo na yo.
