< 2 Chronicles 29 >
1 Hezekiah began to reign being twenty-five years old; and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah, daughter of Zechariah.
Ezekiasi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na libwa na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Abiya. » Abiya azalaki mwana mwasi ya Zakari.
2 And he did what was right in the sight of Jehovah, according to all that David his father had done.
Ezekiasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki.
3 He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, opened the doors of the house of Jehovah, and repaired them.
Na sanza ya liboso ya mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi na ye, afungolaki bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe abongisaki yango.
4 And he brought in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them into the open place eastward;
Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, asangisaki bango na libanda ya ngambo ya este.
5 and he said to them, Hear me, ye Levites: hallow yourselves now, and hallow the house of Jehovah the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the sanctuary.
Alobaki na bango: — Boyoka ngai, Balevi! Bomibulisa sik’oyo mpe bopetola Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino; bolongola mbindo nyonso kati na Esika ya bule.
6 For our fathers have transgressed, and done evil in the sight of Jehovah our God, and have forsaken him and turned away their faces from the habitation of Jehovah, and have turned their backs.
Batata na biso bazangaki boyengebene, basalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe basundolaki Ye; batikaki Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bapesaki Ye mokongo.
7 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered up burnt-offerings in the sanctuary to the God of Israel.
Bakangaki kutu bikuke ya ndako moke ya kokotela, babomaki minda mpe batikaki kobonzela Nzambe ya Isalaele malasi mpe bambeka ya kotumba kati na Esika ya bule.
8 Therefore the wrath of Jehovah has been upon Judah and Jerusalem, and he has delivered them to vexation, to desolation, and to hissing, as ye see with your eyes.
Boye, kanda ya Yawe ekweyelaki Yuda mpe Yelusalemi, akomisaki bango eloko ya kobanga, ya somo mpe ya kotiola, ndenge bokoki komona yango na miso na bino.
9 And behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons and our daughters and our wives are in captivity for this.
Yango wana batata na biso bakweyaki na mopanga; mpe yango wana lisusu bana na biso ya mibali, bana na biso ya basi mpe basi na biso bazali kati na bowumbu.
10 Now it is in my heart to make a covenant with Jehovah the God of Israel, that his fierce anger may turn away from us.
Sik’oyo, nazwi mokano ya kosala boyokani elongo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, mpo ete abwaka kanda makasi na Ye mosika na biso.
11 My sons, be not now negligent; for Jehovah has chosen you to stand before him, to do service unto him, and to be his ministers and incense-burners.
Sik’oyo, bana na ngai ya mibali, bobenda nzoto te, pamba te Yawe aponi bino mpo ete botelema liboso na Ye, bosala mosala na Ye, bosala losambo mpe botumbela Ye mbeka ya malasi mpo na lokumu na Ye.
12 Then the Levites rose up, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehalleleel; and of the Gershonites, Joah the son of Zimmah, and Eden the son of Joah;
Bongo, Balevi oyo bakotaki na mosala: Na molongo ya bato ya Keati: Maati, mwana mobali ya Amasayi; mpe Joeli, mwana mobali ya Azaria; na molongo ya Merari: Kishi, mwana mobali ya Abidi, mpe Azaria, mwana mobali ya Yealeyeli; na molongo ya bato ya Gerishoni: Yoa, mwana mobali ya Zima; mpe Edeni, mwana mobali ya Yoa;
13 and of the sons of Elizaphan, Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph, Zechariah and Mattaniah;
na molongo ya Elitsafani: Shimiri mpe Yeyeli; na molongo ya Azafi: Zakari mpe Matania;
14 and of the sons of Heman, Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun, Shemaiah and Uzziel.
na molongo ya Emani: Yeyeli mpe Shimei; mpe na molongo ya Yedutuni: Shemaya mpe Uzieli.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and hallowed themselves, and came, according to the commandment of the king by the words of Jehovah, to cleanse the house of Jehovah.
Tango basangisaki bandeko na bango mpe bamibulisaki, bakotaki mpo na kopetola Tempelo ya Yawe, ndenge mokonzi apesaki mitindo mpe kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
16 And the priests went into the inner part of the house of Jehovah to cleanse it, and carried forth all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of Jehovah, into the court of the house of Jehovah. And the Levites took it to carry it forth into the brook Kidron.
Banganga-Nzambe bakotaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kopetola yango: babwakaki kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe biloko nyonso ya mbindo oyo bamonaki kati na yango. Balevi balokotaki mpe bamemaki yango kino na lubwaku ya Sedron.
17 And they began on the first of the first month to hallow, and on the eighth day of the month they came to the porch of Jehovah; and they hallowed the house of Jehovah eight days; and on the sixteenth day of the first month they made an end.
Babandaki mosala yango ya kopetola na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso mpe, na mokolo ya mwambe ya sanza yango, bakomaki na ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo. Basalaki lisusu mikolo mwambe mpo na kokoba kobulisa Tempelo ya Yawe mpe basukisaki mosala yango na mokolo ya zomi na motoba ya sanza ya liboso.
18 And they went in to king Hezekiah, and said, We have cleansed all the house of Jehovah, and the altar of burnt-offering with all its vessels, and the table of the [bread] to be set in rows, and all its vessels;
Bakendeki epai ya mokonzi Ezekiasi mpe balobaki: — Topetoli Tempelo mobimba ya Yawe, etumbelo ya bambeka ya kotumba elongo na bisalelo na yango nyonso, mpe mesa oyo batiaka mapa elongo na bisalelo na yango nyonso.
19 and all the vessels that king Ahaz in his reign cast away in his transgression have we prepared and hallowed, and behold, they are before the altar of Jehovah.
Tobongisi mpe tobulisi bisalelo nyonso oyo mokonzi Akazi, na kozanga boyengebene na ye na miso ya Yawe, abebisaki bosantu na yango tango azalaki mokonzi. Bisalelo yango ekomi sik’oyo liboso ya etumbelo.
20 And Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to the house of Jehovah.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, mokonzi Ezekiasi asangisaki bakambi ya engumba mpe bakendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe.
21 And they brought seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he-goats for a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah. And he commanded the priests the sons of Aaron to offer [them] upon the altar of Jehovah.
Bamemaki bangombe sambo ya mibali, bameme sambo ya mibali, bana meme sambo ya mibali mpe bantaba sambo ya mibali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu, mpo na mokili, mpo na Esika ya bule mpe mpo na Yuda. Mokonzi apesaki mitindo epai ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakitani ya Aron, ete babonza bambeka yango na etumbelo ya Yawe.
22 And they slaughtered the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and sprinkled it on the altar; and they slaughtered the rams, and sprinkled the blood on the altar; and they slaughtered the lambs, and sprinkled the blood on the altar.
Banganga-Nzambe bakataki bakingo ya bangombe, bazwaki makila na yango mpe babwakaki yango na etumbelo, bakataki bakingo ya bameme ya mibali mpe babwakaki makila na yango na etumbelo, bakataki bakingo ya bana meme mpe babwakaki makila na yango na etumbelo.
23 And they brought near the he-goats of the sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and they laid their hands upon them.
Bongo bamemaki bantaba ya mibali oyo ebongisamaki mpo na mbeka mpo na masumu, liboso ya mokonzi mpe lisanga, mpe batiaki yango maboko.
24 And the priests slaughtered them, and they made purification for sin with their blood upon the altar, to make an atonement for all Israel; because for all Israel, said the king, is the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.
Banganga-Nzambe bakataki bakingo ya bantaba mpe babwakaki makila na yango na etumbelo lokola mbeka mpo na masumu, mpe mpo na kokokisa mosala ya bolimbisi masumu ya Isalaele mobimba; pamba te mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete babonza mpo na Isalaele mobimba bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mpo na masumu.
25 And he set the Levites in the house of Jehovah with cymbals, with lutes, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and of Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of Jehovah through his prophets.
Mokonzi atiaki Balevi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe elongo na bangongi, makembe mpe mandanda kolanda mitindo ya Davidi, ya Gadi, momoni makambo ya mokonzi; mpe ya mosakoli Natan; pamba te ezalaki mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya basakoli na Ye.
26 And the Levites stood with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
Balevi babongamaki elongo na bibetelo mindule ya Davidi, mpe Banganga-Nzambe elongo na bakelelo na bango.
27 And Hezekiah commanded to offer up the burnt-offering on the altar. And at the moment the burnt-offering began, the song of Jehovah began, and the trumpets, accompanied by the instruments of David king of Israel.
Ezekiasi apesaki mitindo ete babonza mbeka ya kotumba na etumbelo; mpe tango babandaki kobonza mbeka ya kotumba, babandaki mpe koyemba mpo na kokumisa Yawe na bakelelo mpe bibetelo mindule ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
28 And all the congregation worshipped, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded, all [the time] until the burnt-offering was finished.
Lisanga mobimba egumbamaki wana; bayembi bazalaki koyemba, mpe babeti kelelo bazalaki kobeta yango; nyonso ekobaki kino tango basilisaki kobonza mbeka ya kotumba.
29 And when they had ended offering the burnt-offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and worshipped.
Tango basilisaki kobonza mbeka ya kotumba, mokonzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bakitisaki bilongi na bango mpe bagumbamaki kino na se.
30 And king Hezekiah and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praise to Jehovah with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and bowed their heads and worshipped.
Mokonzi Ezekiasi elongo na bakambi na ye bapesaki mitindo na Balevi ete bakumisa Yawe na banzembo ya Davidi mpe ya mosakoli Azafi. Boye, bayembaki banzembo ya kokumisa na esengo, bagumbaki mito na bango mpe bagumbamaki kino na se.
31 And Hezekiah answered and said, Now ye have consecrated yourselves to Jehovah, come near and bring sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought in sacrifices and thank-offerings; and as many as were of a willing heart, burnt-offerings.
Ezekiasi alobaki: — Awa bomibulisi sik’oyo mpo na Yawe, bopusana, bomema na Tempelo ya Yawe bambeka mpe makabo ya kozongisa matondi. Lisanga ememaki bambeka mpe makabo ya kozongisa matondi, mpe bato ya motema ya kokaba bamemaki bambeka ya kotumba.
32 And the number of the burnt-offerings, which the congregation brought, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these were for a burnt-offering to Jehovah.
Tala motango ya bambeka ya kotumba oyo lisanga ebonzaki: bangombe ya mibali tuku sambo, bameme ya mibali nkama moko, bana meme nkama mibale: nyonso lokola bambeka ya kotumba mpo na Yawe.
33 And the consecrated things were six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
Babulisaki lisusu lokola bambeka bangombe nkama motoba, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto misato.
34 Only the priests were too few, and they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; therefore their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was ended, and until the priests had hallowed themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to hallow themselves than the priests.
Kasi lokola Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki mingi te mpo na kokata na biteni bambeka nyonso ya kotumba, bandeko na bango, Balevi, basungaki bango kino mosala nyonso esilaki mpe kino Banganga-Nzambe mosusu bamibulisaki; pamba te Balevi balekaki Banganga-Nzambe na makanisi ya komibulisa.
35 And also the burnt-offerings were in abundance, with the fat of the peace-offerings, and with the drink-offerings for the burnt-offering. And the service of the house of Jehovah was set in order.
Longola bambeka ya kotumba oyo ezalaki mingi, esengelaki lisusu kotumba mafuta ya bambeka ya boyokani mpe kosopa bambeka ya masanga mpo na bambeka ya kotumba. Ezali boye nde babongisaki lisusu misala ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
36 And Hezekiah rejoiced, and all the people, that God had prepared the people; for the thing was done suddenly.
Ezekiasi mpe bato nyonso basepelaki na ndenge Nzambe akokisaki makambo mpo na bato na Ye, pamba te nyonso esalemaki na lombangu.
