2 Chronicles 29
1 Now Ezechias began to reign, when he was five and twenty years old, and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem: the name of his mother was Abia, the daughter of Zacharias.
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 that which was pleasing in the sight of the Lord, 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 In the first year and month of his reign he opened the doors of the house of the Lord, 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 the priests and the Levites, and assembled them in the east street.
Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, asangisaki bango na libanda ya ngambo ya este.
5 And he said to them: Hear me, ye Levites, and be sanctified, purify the house of the Lord the God of your fathers, and take away all filth 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 Our fathers have sinned and done evil in the sight of the Lord God, forsaking him: they have turned away their faces from the tabernacle of the Lord, and 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 They have shut up the doors that were in tile porch, and put out the lamps. and have not burnt incense, nor offered holocausts in the sanctuary of 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 the Lord hath been stirred up against Juda and Jerusalem, and he hath delivered them to trouble, and to destruction, and to be hissed at, as you 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 Behold, our fathers are fallen by the sword, our sons, and our daughters, and wives are led away captives for this wickedness.
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 therefore I have a mind that we make a covenant with the Lord the God of Israel, and he will turn away the wrath of his indignation 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 negligent: the Lord hath chosen you to stand before him, and to minister to him, and to worship him, and to burn incense to him.
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 arose, Mahath the son of Amasai, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Cis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Jalaleel. And of the sons of Gerson, Joah the son of Zemma, 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 Elisaphan, Samri, and Jahiel. Also of the sons of Asaph, Zacharias, and Mathanias.
na molongo ya Elitsafani: Shimiri mpe Yeyeli; na molongo ya Azafi: Zakari mpe Matania;
14 And of the sons of Heman, Jahiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun, Semeias, and Oziel.
na molongo ya Emani: Yeyeli mpe Shimei; mpe na molongo ya Yedutuni: Shemaya mpe Uzieli.
15 And they gathered together their brethren, and sanctified themselves, and went in according to the commandment of the king, and the precept of the Lord, to purify the house of God.
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 temple of the Lord to sanctify it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found within to the entrance of the house of the Lord, and the Levites took it away, and carried it out abroad to the torrent Cedron.
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 to cleanse on the first day of the first month, and on the eighth day of the same month they came into the porch of the temple of the Lord, and they purified the temple in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the same month they finished what they had begun.
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 is to king Ezechias, and said to him: We have sanctified all the house of the Lord, and the altar of holocaust, and the vessels thereof, and the table of proposition with 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 furniture of the temple, which king Achaz in his reign had defiled, after his transgression; and behold they are all set forth before the altar of the Lord.
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 king Ezechias rising early, assembled all the rulers of the city, and went up into the house of the Lord:
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, mokonzi Ezekiasi asangisaki bakambi ya engumba mpe bakendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe.
21 And they offered together seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven he goats for sin, for the kingdom, for the sanctuary, for Juda: and he spoke to the priests the sons of Aaron, to offer them upon the altar of the Lord.
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 Therefore they killed the bullocks, and the priests took the blood, and poured it upon the altar; they killed also the rams, and their blood they poured also upon the altar, and they killed the lambs, and poured the blood upon 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 the he goats for sin before the king, and the whole multitude, and they laid their hand 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 immolated them, and sprinkled their blood before the altar for an expiation of all Israel: for the king had commanded that the holocaust and the sin offering should be made for all Israel.
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 the Lord with cymbals, and psalteries, and harps according to the regulation of David the king, and of Gad the seer, and of Nathan the prophet: for it was the commandment of the Lord by the hand of 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 trumpets.
Balevi babongamaki elongo na bibetelo mindule ya Davidi, mpe Banganga-Nzambe elongo na bakelelo na bango.
27 And Ezechias commanded that they should offer holocausts upon the altar: and when the holocausts were offered, they began to sing praises to the Lord, and to sound with trumpets, and divers instruments which David the king of Israel had prepared.
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 multitude adored, and the singers, and the trumpeters, were in their office till the holocaust 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 the oblation was ended, the king, and all that were with him bowed down and adored.
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 Ezechias and the princes commanded the Levites to praise the Lord with the words of David, and Asaph the seer: and they praised him with great joy, and bowing the knee adored.
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 Ezechias added, and said: You have filled your hands to the Lord, come and offer victims, and praises in the house of the Lord. And all the multitude offered victims, and praises, and holocausts with a devout mind.
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 holocausts which the multitude offered, was seventy bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs.
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 they consecrated to the Lord six hundred oxen, and three thousand sheep.
Babulisaki lisusu lokola bambeka bangombe nkama motoba, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto misato.
34 But the priests were few, and were not enough to flay the holocausts: wherefore the Levites their brethren helped them, till the work was ended, and priests were sanctified, for the Levites are sanctified with an easier rite 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 So there were many holocausts, and the fat of peace offerings, and the libations of holocausts: and the service of the house of the Lord was completed.
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 Ezechias, and all the people rejoiced because the ministry of the Lord was accomplished. For the resolution of doing this thing was taken suddenly.
Ezekiasi mpe bato nyonso basepelaki na ndenge Nzambe akokisaki makambo mpo na bato na Ye, pamba te nyonso esalemaki na lombangu.
