2 Chronicles 31
1 And when these things had been celebrated according to ritual, all of Israel who had been found in the cities of Judah went forth, and they broke apart the idols and cut down the sacred groves. They demolished the high places and destroyed the altars, not only out of all Judah and Benjamin, but also out of Ephraim as well as Manasseh, until they utterly destroyed them. And all the sons of Israel returned to their possessions and cities.
Tango feti nyonso esilaki, bato nyonso ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki kuna bakendeki na bingumba ya Yuda, babukaki makonzi ya bule, bakweyisaki bikeko ya nzambe mwasi Ashera mpe bapanzaki bisambelo ya likolo ya bangomba mpe bitumbelo kati na Yuda nyonso, kati na Benjame, kati na Efrayimi mpe kati na Manase. Sima na kobebisa biloko wana nyonso, bato ya Isalaele bazongaki kati na bingumba na bango mpe bandako na bango.
2 Then Hezekiah appointed the companies of the priests and Levites by their divisions, each man in his proper office, certainly as much for the priests as for the Levites, for the sake of holocausts and peace offerings, so that they might minister and confess and sing, at the gates of the camp of the Lord.
Ezekiasi atiaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi na masanga mpe apesaki na moko na moko mosala kati na lisanga na ye. Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bapesamelaki mosala ya bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani, mosala ya kozongisa matondi mpe ya koyemba banzembo mpo na kokumisa mpe kosanzola Yawe, na bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
3 Now the portion of the king, from his own substance, was such that they could offer a holocaust always, in morning and in evening, also on the Sabbaths, and the new moons, and the other solemnities, just as it was written in the law of Moses.
Mokonzi azwaki ndambo ya bozwi na ye mpe apesaki mpo na bambeka ya kotumba: bambeka ya kotumba ya tongo mpe ya pokwa, ya mikolo ya Saba, ya ebandeli ya sanza mpe ya bafeti oyo ekatama, kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na mibeko ya Yawe.
4 And now he instructed the people living in Jerusalem that they were to give portions to the priests and Levites, so that they would be able to attend to the law of the Lord.
Mokonzi apesaki mitindo epai ya bavandi ya Yelusalemi ete bapesa ndambo oyo esengeli kopesama epai ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi mpo ete bamipesa na misala oyo mibeko ya Yawe ezali kotinda bango.
5 And when this had reached the ears of the multitude, the sons of Israel brought an abundance of first-fruits of grain, wine, and oil, and also honey. And they offered a tenth part of all that the soil brings forth.
Tango kaka bapanzaki sango ya mitindo oyo, bato ya Isalaele bapesaki na esengo bambuma na bango ya liboso ya ble, ya vino ya sika, ya mafuta, ya mafuta ya nzoyi mpe ya biloko nyonso oyo ebimaka na bilanga. Bamemaki lisusu biloko ebele lokola eteni ya zomi ya nyonso.
6 Then too, the sons of Israel and Judah, who were living in the cities of Judah, brought tithes of oxen and sheep, and tithes of the holy things that they had vowed to the Lord their God. And carrying all these things, they made many stacks.
Bato ya Isalaele elongo na bato ya Yuda oyo bazalaki kovanda kati na bingumba ya Yuda bamemaki eteni na bango ya zomi ya bangombe, ya bameme, ya bantaba mpe ya makabo ya bule oyo ebulisamaki mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na bango, mpe batiaki yango na mipiku.
7 In the third month, they began to lay out the foundations of the stacks. And in the seventh month, they finished them.
Babandaki kosala mipiku yango na sanza ya misato mpe basilisaki na sanza ya sambo.
8 And when Hezekiah and his rulers had entered, they saw the stacks, and they blessed the Lord and the people of Israel.
Tango Ezekiasi elongo na bakalaka na ye bayaki komona mipiku yango, bakumisaki Yawe mpe bapambolaki Isalaele, bato na Ye.
9 And Hezekiah questioned the priests and Levites, as to why the stacks were laid out in this way.
Ezekiasi atunaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi na tina na mipiku yango.
10 Azariah, the high priest from the stock of Zadok, answered him, saying: “Since the first-fruits began to be offered in the house of the Lord, we have eaten and been satisfied, and much remains. For the Lord has blessed his people. Then what was left over is this great abundance, which you see.”
Azaria, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, moto ya libota ya Tsadoki, azongisaki: — Wuta tango bato babandaki komema makabo na bango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe, toliaki, totondaki mpe totiki ebele, pamba te Yawe apambolaki bato na Ye. Mipiku ya biloko oyo ozali komona awa ezali nde oyo etikali.
11 And so Hezekiah instructed that they should prepare storage places for the house of the Lord. And when they had done so,
Ezekiasi apesaki mitindo ete babongisa bisika mpo na kobomba biloko yango kati na Tempelo ya Yawe; mpe esalemaki bongo.
12 they faithfully brought in the first-fruits, as well as the tithes and all that they had vowed. Now the overseer of these things was Conaniah, a Levite; and his brother, Shimei, was second.
Bakomaki kotia kuna na boyengebene makabo ya bato, biteni ya zomi mpe makabo mosusu ya bule. Molevi Konania azalaki na mokumba ya kobatela biloko yango elongo na Shimei, ndeko na ye ya mobali, lokola molandi na ye.
13 And after him, there was Jehiel, and Azariah, and Nahath, and Asaahel, and Jerimoth, and also Jozabad, and Eliel, and Ismachiah, and Mahath, and Benaiah, who were overseers under the hands of Conaniah, and his brother, Shimei, by the authority of Hezekiah, the king, and Azariah, the high priest of the house of God, to whom all these things belonged.
Kolandisama na mokano ya mokonzi Ezekiasi mpe ya Azaria, mokonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe ya Tempelo ya Nzambe, Yeyeli, Azazia, Naati, Asaeli, Yerimoti, Yozabadi, Elieli, Yisimakia, Maati mpe Benaya bazalaki bakengeli ya misala na bokambami ya Konania mpe Shimei, ndeko na ye ya mobali.
14 Yet truly, Kore, the son of Imnah, a Levite and the porter of the eastern gate, was the overseer of the things that were being offered freely to the Lord, and of the first-fruits, and of the things consecrated for the Holy of Holies.
Molevi Kore, mwana mobali ya Yimina, oyo azalaki mokengeli ekuke ya ngambo ya este azalaki na mokumba ya koyamba makabo oyo bato bazalaki kopesa epai ya Nzambe, wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango; azalaki mpe na mokumba ya kokabola makabo oyo bazalaki kokongola mpo na Yawe mpe makabo ya bule.
15 And under his charge were Eden, and Benjamin, Jeshua, and Shemaiah, and also Amariah, and Shecaniah, in the cities of the priests, so that they would distribute faithfully to their brothers, the small as well as the great, their portions
Kati na bingumba ya Banganga-Nzambe, Kore asungamaki na Edeni, Minyamini, Jozue, Shemaya, Amaria mpe Shekania, mpo na kokabola biloko na boyengebene epai ya bandeko na bango Banganga-Nzambe kolanda masanga na bango; bazalaki kosala bokeseni te kati na bato minene mpe bato mike.
16 (except for the males from three years old and upward) for all who were entering the temple of the Lord, and for whatever was needed for the ministry, throughout each day, as well as for the observances according to their divisions.
Bazalaki kopesa kaka te na mibali oyo bakombo na bango ekomamaki, kobanda na mibu misato ya mbotama mpe komata, kasi bazalaki mpe kopesa na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki kokota na Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kosala misala na bango ya mokolo na mokolo kolanda mikumba mpe masanga na bango.
17 And so, for the priests, by their families, and for the Levites, from the twentieth year and upward, by their orders and companies,
Bapesaki na Banganga-Nzambe oyo bakombo na bango ekomamaki kolanda mabota na bango ya botata mpe na Balevi oyo bazalaki na mibu ya mbotama kobanda mibu tuku mibale mpe komata, kolanda mikumba mpe masanga na bango;
18 and for the entire multitude, as much for the wives as for their children of both sexes, provisions were offered faithfully from whatever had been sanctified.
bapesaki na bana mike nyonso, na basi, na bana mibali mpe na bana basi ya lisanga mobimba, ba-oyo bakombo na bango ekomamaki kati na buku ya milongo ya mbotama, pamba te bazalaki kokokisa na boyengebene mibeko ya libulisi mpo na kozala bule.
19 Then too, men were appointed of the sons of Aaron, throughout the fields and the suburbs of each city, who would distribute portions to all the males among the priests and Levites.
Lokola ndenge ezalaki mpo na Banganga-Nzambe, bakitani ya Aron, oyo bazalaki kovanda na bamboka ya zingazinga ya bingumba na bango, bato baponamaki na bakombo mpo na kokabola biloko epai ya bato nyonso kati na Banganga-Nzambe mpe epai ya Balevi nyonso oyo bakomamaki.
20 Therefore, Hezekiah did all these things (which we have said) in all of Judah. And he worked what is good and upright and true before the Lord his God,
Ezali boye nde Ezekiasi asalaki kati na mokili na ye mobimba ya Yuda. Asalaki makambo ya malamu, ya sembo mpe ya solo na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na ye.
21 for the whole service of the ministry of the house of the Lord, in accord with the law and the ceremonies, desiring to seek his God with his whole heart. And he did so, and he prospered.
Kati na nyonso oyo Ezekiasi asalaki, ezala mpo na mosala ya Ndako ya Nzambe to mpo na botosi mibeko mpe mitindo, azalaki koluka Nzambe na ye mpe kosala na motema na ye mobimba; mpe azalaki kolonga na makambo nyonso oyo azalaki kosala.
