< 2 Chronicles 30 >
1 Also, Hezekiah sent to all of Israel and Judah. And he wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasseh, so that they would come to the house of the Lord in Jerusalem, and so that they would keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel.
Ezekiasi atindaki bamemi sango kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, mpe akomelaki Efrayimi mpe Manase mikanda mpo na kosenga na bango ete baya na Tempelo ya Yawe, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kosepela feti ya Pasika ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
2 Therefore, having taken counsel, the king and the rulers, and the entire assembly of Jerusalem, resolved that they would keep the Passover, in the second month.
Mokonzi elongo na bakalaka na ye mpe lisanga mobimba ya Yelusalemi bazwaki mokano ya kosepela feti ya Pasika na sanza ya mibale.
3 For they had not been able to keep it at its proper time. For the priests, who were unable to suffice, had not been sanctified. And the people had not yet been gathered together in Jerusalem.
Balongaki te kosepela feti ya Pasika na mokolo oyo ekatama, pamba te Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamibulisaki bazalaki mingi te, mpe bato basanganaki te na Yelusalemi.
4 And the word was pleasing to the king, and to the entire multitude.
Mokonzi mpe lisanga mobimba bandimaki mabongisi yango,
5 And they resolved that they would send messengers to all of Israel, from Beersheba even to Dan, so that they might come and keep the Passover to the Lord, the God of Israel, at Jerusalem. For many had not kept it, just as it was prescribed by the law.
bazwaki mokano ya kopesa mayebisi kati na Isalaele mobimba, longwa na Beri-Sheba kino na Dani, mpo na kosenga na bato nyonso ete baya kosepela feti ya Pasika, na Yelusalemi mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Pamba te bato moke kaka basepelaki yango kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na makomi.
6 And carriers traveled with the letters, by order of the king and his rulers, to all of Israel and Judah, proclaiming, in accord with what the king had ordered: “O sons of Israel, return to the Lord, the God of Abraham, and Isaac, and Israel. And he will return to the remnant who escaped from the hand of the king of the Assyrians.
Na etinda ya mokonzi, bamemi sango bakendeki kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, na mikanda oyo ewutaki epai ya mokonzi mpe bakalaka na ye. Tala makambo oyo ezalaki kati na mikanda yango: « Bana ya Isalaele, bozongela Yawe, Nzambe ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Isalaele, mpo ete Ye mpe azongela bino oyo bobiki na maboko ya bakonzi ya mboka Asiri!
7 Do not choose to be like your fathers and brothers, who withdrew from the Lord, the God of their fathers. And so he delivered them over to destruction, as you yourselves discern.
Bozala te lokola batata mpe bandeko na bino oyo bazangaki boyengebene liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango. Yango wana asalaki ete babebisama ndenge bozali komona.
8 Do not choose to harden your necks, as your fathers did. Surrender to the hands of the Lord. And go to his Sanctuary, which he has sanctified unto eternity. Serve the Lord, the God of your fathers, and the fury of his wrath will be turned away from you.
Bozala moto makasi te lokola batata na bino; bomipesa epai na Yawe, boya na Esika ya bule oyo Ye moko abulisi mpo na libela mpe bosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo ete kanda makasi na Ye ezala mosika na bino!
9 For if you will return to the Lord, your brothers and sons will find mercy before their masters, who led them away as captives, and they will be returned to this land. For the Lord your God is compassionate and lenient, and he will not avert his face from you, if you will return to him.”
Soki solo bozongeli Yawe, bandeko mpe bana na bino oyo bakendeki na bowumbu bakozwa ngolu liboso ya bato oyo bakangaki bango, mpe bakozonga na mokili oyo; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atonda na ngolu mpe na mawa. Solo, soki bozongeli Ye, akobalola te elongi na Ye mosika na bino. »
10 And so, the carriers were traveling quickly from city to city, throughout the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, as far as Zebulun, though they were ridiculing and mocking them.
Bamemi sango batambolaki kati na bingumba nyonso ya Efrayimi mpe ya Manase kino na Zabuloni. Kasi bato bazalaki koseka mpe kotiola bango.
11 Even so, certain men from Asher, and from Manasseh, and from Zebulun, acquiescing to this counsel, went to Jerusalem.
Nzokande, ndambo ya bato ya Aseri, ya Manase mpe ya Zabuloni bamikitisaki mpe bakendeki na Yelusalemi.
12 Truly, the hand of God was working in Judah, to give them one heart, so that they would accomplish the word of the Lord, according to the precept of the king and of the rulers.
Kati na mokili ya Yuda, loboko ya Nzambe ezalaki kosala na nguya makasi epai ya bato, mpo na kopesa bango bomoko na molimo mpo na kotosa mitindo ya mokonzi mpe ya bakalaka na ye, kolandisama na Liloba na Yawe.
13 And many people gathered together in Jerusalem, so that they could keep the solemnity of unleavened bread, in the second month.
Bato ebele basanganaki na Yelusalemi mpo na kosepela feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, na sanza ya mibale: bazalaki penza ebele ya bato.
14 And rising up, they destroyed the altars which were in Jerusalem, and all the things in which incense was burned to idols. Overturning these things, they cast them into the torrent Kidron.
Babukaki bitumbelo kati na Yelusalemi mpe balimwisaki bambabola nyonso ya malasi na kobwaka yango na lubwaku ya Sedron.
15 Then they immolated the Passover on the fourteenth day of the second month. Also, the priests and Levites, at length having been sanctified, offered the holocausts in the house of the Lord.
Bakataki kingo ya mpate mpo na mbeka ya Pasika na mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya mibale. Banganga-Nzambe elongo na Balevi bayokaki soni, bamibulisaki mpe babonzaki bambeka ya kotumba kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
16 And they stood in their order, according to the disposition and law of Moses, the man of God. Yet truly, the priests took up the blood, which was to be poured out, from the hands of the Levites,
Bazongelaki misala na bango ndenge ekomama na mibeko ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe. Balevi bazalaki kopesa makila ya bambeka epai ya Banganga-Nzambe; mpe bango, Banganga-Nzambe, bazalaki kosopa yango na etumbelo.
17 because a great number were not sanctified. And therefore, the Levites immolated the Passover for those who had not been sanctified to the Lord in time.
Lokola bato mingi kati na lisanga bamibulisaki te, Balevi bazwaki mokumba ya kokata bakingo ya bampate ya Pasika mpo na bato wana nyonso oyo bazalaki peto te; mpe na bongo, bakokaki te kobulisa bampate na bango epai na Yawe.
18 And now a great portion of the people from Ephraim, and Manasseh, and Issachar, and Zebulun, who had not been sanctified, ate the Passover, which is not in accord with what was written. And Hezekiah prayed for them, saying: “The good Lord will be forgiving
Atako bato ebele oyo bawutaki na Manase, na Efrayimi, na Isakari mpe na Zabuloni bamipetolaki te, kasi baliaki Pasika na kozanga kolanda oyo ekomama. Yango wana Ezekiasi abondelaki boye mpo na bango: « Yawe, Yo oyo ozali malamu, tika ete olimbisa
19 to all who, with their whole heart, seek the Lord, the God of their fathers. And he will not impute it to them, though they have not been sanctified.”
moto nyonso oyo amipesi na koluka Nzambe, Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na ye, na motema na ye mobimba atako amipetolaki te kolanda mibeko ya Esika ya bule! »
20 And the Lord heeded him, and was reconciled to the people.
Yawe ayokaki libondeli ya Ezekiasi mpe abetaki bato te.
21 And the sons of Israel who were found at Jerusalem kept the solemnity of unleavened bread for seven days with great rejoicing, praising the Lord throughout each day, with the Levites and the priests, accompanied by the musical instruments corresponding to their office.
Boye bato ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi basepelaki mikolo sambo mpe na esengo makasi feti ya Mapa ezanga levire wana Balevi mpe Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki kokumisa Yawe mikolo nyonso na kobeta makasi bibetelo mindule na bango mpo na lokumu ya Yawe.
22 And Hezekiah spoke to the heart of all the Levites, who had a good understanding concerning the Lord. And they ate during the seven days of the solemnity, immolating victims of peace offerings, and praising the Lord, the God of their fathers.
Ezekiasi alendisaki Balevi nyonso oyo balakisaki ete bayebi malamu mosala ya Yawe. Na mikolo sambo ya feti, baliaki misuni ya bambeka, babonzaki bambeka ya boyokani mpe basanzolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango.
23 And it pleased the entire multitude that they should celebrate, even for another seven days. And they did this with enormous gladness.
Lisanga mobimba eyokanaki kobakisa mikolo mosusu sambo mpo na kokoba kosepela feti. Boye, basalaki feti na esengo na mikolo yango sambo.
24 For Hezekiah, the king of Judah, had offered to the multitude one thousand bulls and seven thousand sheep. Truly, the rulers had given the people one thousand bulls and ten thousand sheep. Then a great multitude of priests was sanctified.
Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, apesaki mpo na lisanga bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto sambo; mpe bakalaka bapesaki mpo na lisanga bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto zomi. Banganga-Nzambe ebele bamibulisaki.
25 And the whole multitude of Judah, as much the priests and Levites as the entire crowd that had arrived from Israel, and also the converts from the land of Israel, and those with a habitation in Judah, was overflowing with cheerfulness.
Lisanga mobimba ya Yuda, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi, bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpe bapaya oyo bawutaki na Isalaele to bavandi ya Yuda bazalaki na esengo.
26 And there was a great celebration in Jerusalem, to such an extent as had not been in that city since the days of Solomon, the son of David, the king of Israel.
Esengo ezalaki makasi kati na Yelusalemi, pamba te wuta na tango ya Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, likambo ya boye etikala nanu kosalema te kati na Yelusalemi.
27 Then the priests and Levites rose up and blessed the people. And their voice was heeded. And their prayer reached the holy habitation of heaven.
Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi batelemaki mpo na kopambola bato, mpe Nzambe ayokaki bango mpo ete losambo na bango ekomaki kino na Likolo, evandelo na Ye ya bule.
