Ezra 8
1 And so these are the leaders of the families, with their genealogy, of those who ascended with me from Babylon, during the reign of king Artaxerxes.
Tala bakambi ya mabota, kolanda ndenge babotamela, oyo bazongaki elongo na ngai, wuta na Babiloni, na tango Aritakizerisesi azalaki mokonzi:
2 From the sons of Phinehas, Gershom. From the sons of Ithamar, Daniel. From the sons of David, Hattush.
Kati na bakitani ya Pineasi: Gerishomi. Kati na bakitani ya Itamari: Daniele. Kati na bakitani ya Davidi: Atushi.
3 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Parosh, Zechariah, and one hundred fifty men were numbered with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Shekania, ya Pareoshi: Zakari elongo na bato na ye oyo batangaki, nkama moko na tuku mitano.
4 From the sons of Pahath-moab, Eliehoenai, the son of Zerahiah, and two hundred men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Paati-Moabi: Eliowenayi, mwana mobali ya Zerakia, elongo na bato na ye nkama mibale.
5 From the sons of Shecaniah, the son of Jahaziel, and three hundred men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Zatu: Shekania, mwana mobali ya Yaazieli, elongo na bato na ye nkama misato.
6 From the sons of Adin, Ebed, the son of Jonathan, and fifty men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Adini: Ebedi, mwana mobali ya Jonatan, elongo na bato na ye tuku mitano.
7 From the sons of Elam, Jeshaiah, the son of Athaliah, and seventy men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Elami: Ezayi, mwana mobali ya Atalia elongo na bato na ye tuku sambo.
8 From the sons of Shephatiah, Zebadiah, the son of Michael, and eighty men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Shefatia: Zebadia, mwana mobali ya Mikaeli, elongo na bato na ye tuku mwambe.
9 From the sons of Joab, Obadiah, the son of Jehiel, and two hundred eighteen men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Joabi: Abidiasi, mwana mobali ya Yeyeli, elongo na bato na ye nkama mibale na zomi na mwambe.
10 From the sons of Shelomith, the son of Josiphiah, and one hundred sixty men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Bani: Shelomiti, mwana mobali ya Yosifia, elongo na bato na ye nkama moko na tuku motoba.
11 From the sons of Bebai, Zechariah, the son of Bebai, and twenty-eight men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Bebayi: Zakari, mwana mobali ya Bebayi, elongo na bato na ye tuku mibale na mwambe.
12 From the sons of Azgad, Johanan, the son of Hakkatan, and one hundred and ten men were with him.
Kati na bakitani ya Azigadi: Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Akatani, elongo na bato na ye nkama moko na zomi.
13 From the sons of Adonikam, who were the last, and these were their names: Eliphelet, and Jeuel, and Shemaiah, and sixty men were with them.
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 From the sons of Bigvai, Uthai and Zaccur, and seventy men were with them.
Kati na bakitani ya Bigivayi: Utayi mpe Zabudi elongo na bato na bango tuku sambo.
15 Now I gathered them together at the river that runs down to Ahava, and we stayed there for three days. And I sought among the people and among the priests for the sons of Levi, and I found none 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 so I sent Eliezer, and Ariel, and Shemaiah, and Elnathan, and Jarib, and another Elnathan, and Nathan, and Zechariah, and Meshullam, who were leaders, and Joiarib and Elnathan, who were wise.
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 sent them to Iddo, who is first within the place of Casiphia. And I placed in their mouth the words that they should speak to Iddo and his brothers, the temple servants, in the place of Casiphia, so that they would lead to us ministers 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 because the good hand of our God was over us, they led to us a very learned man from the sons of Mahli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, with Sherebiah, and his sons, and his eighteen brothers,
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 Hashabiah, and with him Jeshaiah, of the sons of Merari, and his brothers, and his sons, numbering 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 from the temple servants, whom David, and the leaders had provided for the ministry of the Levites, there were two hundred twenty temple servants. All these were called 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 a fast in that place, beside the river Ahava, so that we might afflict ourselves in the sight of the Lord our God, and so that we might request of him the right way for us, and for our sons, and for all our substance.
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 petition the king for assistance and for horsemen, who would defend us from the enemy along the way. For we had said to the king: “The hand of our God is over all those who seek him in goodness. And his authority, and his strength and fury, is over all those who 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 And so we fasted and begged our God for this; and as a result, we prospered.
Boye, tokilaki bilei mpe tosengaki ngolu yango epai ya Nzambe na biso, mpe Ye ayanolaki libondeli na biso.
24 And I separated twelve from among the leaders of the priests: Sherebiah, and Hashabiah, and with them ten of their brothers.
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 out to them the silver and the gold, and the vessels consecrated to the house of our God, which had been offered by the king, and by his counselors and his leaders, and by all those of Israel who had been found.
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 And I weighed out to their hands six hundred fifty talents of silver, and one hundred vessels of silver, and one 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 gold bowls which had the weight of one thousand coins, and two vessels of the finest shining brass, as beautiful 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 the holy ones of the Lord, and the vessels are holy, with the silver and the gold, which has been offered freely to the Lord, the 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 Watch and guard them, until you weigh them out before the leaders of the priests and the Levites, and the rulers of the families of Israel in Jerusalem, into the treasury 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 Then the priests and the Levites received the weight of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, so that they might carry these 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 Therefore, we set out from the river Ahava, on the twelfth day of the first month, so that we might travel to Jerusalem. And the hand of our God was over us, and he freed us from the hand of the enemy and of those who lay in ambush along 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 arrived at Jerusalem, and we stayed there for three days.
Tokomaki na Yelusalemi mpe topemaki kuna mikolo misato.
33 Then, on the fourth day, the silver and the gold and the vessels were weighed out in the house of our God, by the hand of Meremoth, the son of Uriah, the priest; and with him was Eleazar, the son of Phinehas, and with them were the Levites, Jozabad, the son of Jeshua, and Noadiah, the son of Binnui.
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 This was done according to the number and weight of everything; and every weight was written down at that time.
Batangaki mpe bamekaki kilo ya biloko nyonso; mpe bakomaki yango na buku kaka na tango wana.
35 Moreover, those who came from the captivity, the sons of the transmigration, offered holocausts to the God of Israel: twelve calves on behalf of all the people of Israel, ninety-six rams, seventy-seven lambs, and twelve he-goats for sin. All these were a holocaust 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 Then they gave the edicts of the king to the rulers who served in the sight of the king, and to the governors beyond the river, and they exalted 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.
