2 Chronicles 6
1 Then Salomon sayd, The Lord hath sayde that he would dwell in the darke cloude:
Bongo Salomo alobaki: « Yawe alobaki ete akovanda kati na esika ya molili!
2 And I haue built thee an house to dwell in, an habitation for thee to dwell in for euer.
Mpe ngai natongeli Yo ndako ya lokumu, esika oyo okovanda mpo na libela! »
3 And the King turned his face, and blessed all the Congregation of Israel (for all the Congregation of Israel stoode there)
Mokonzi abalukaki mpe apambolaki lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele. Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ezalaki ya kotelema.
4 And he said, Blessed be the Lord God of Israel, who spake with his mouth vnto Dauid my father, and hath with his hand fulfilled it, saying,
Alobaki: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama; Ye oyo, na monoko na Ye moko, alobaki na tata na ngai, Davidi, mpe akokisi, na maboko na Ye, makambo oyo alakaki:
5 Since the day that I brought my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no citie of al the tribes of Israel to buylde an house, that my Name might be there, neyther chose I any man to be a ruler ouer my people Israel:
« Wuta mokolo oyo nabimisaki bato na Ngai, Isalaele, na Ejipito, naponaki engumba moko te kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete batonga kuna Tempelo epai wapi Kombo na Ngai ekozala, mpe naponaki moto mosusu te lokola mokonzi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele,
6 But I haue chosen Ierusalem, that my Name might be there, and haue chosen Dauid to be ouer my people Israel.
kasi naponaki nde Yelusalemi mpo ete Kombo na Ngai ezala kuna, mpe Davidi mpo ete akamba bato na Ngai, Isalaele! »
7 And it was in the heart of Dauid my father to builde an house vnto the Name of the Lord God of Israel,
Tata na ngai, Davidi, azalaki na makanisi ya kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
8 But the Lord sayde to Dauid my father, Whereas it was in thine heart to buylde an house vnto my Name, thou diddest well, that thou wast so minded.
Kasi Yawe alobaki na Davidi, tata na ngai: « Osali malamu lokola ozwi makanisi ya kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai.
9 Notwithstanding thou shalt not build the house, but thy sonne which shall come out of thy loynes, he shall buylde an house vnto my Name.
Kasi ezali yo te moto okotonga Tempelo yango; ezali nde mwana na yo ya mobali, oyo akobima na mokongo na yo moko, moto akotonga Tempelo yango mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai. »
10 And the Lord hath performed his worde that he spake: and I am risen vp in the roume of Dauid my father, and am set on the throne of Israel as the Lord promised, and haue built an house to the Name of the Lord God of Israel.
Yawe akokisi elaka na Ye: nakitani tata na ngai, Davidi; navandi na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki, mpe natongi Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
11 And I haue set the Arke there, wherein is the couenant of the Lord, that he made with the children of Israel.
Natie kuna Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na bana ya Isalaele.
12 And the King stoode before the altar of the Lord, in the presence of all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands,
Bongo Salomo atelemaki liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe; mpe na miso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, atombolaki maboko na ye.
13 (For Salomon had made a brasen skaffold and set it in the middes of the court, of fiue cubites long, and fiue cubites broade, and three cubites of height, and vpon it he stoode, and kneeled downe vpon his knees before all the Congregation of Israel, and stretched out his hands toward heauen)
Solo, Salomo atongaki na bronze etemelo ya kolobela: ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na molayi, bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse, mpe metele pene moko na bosanda; mpe atiaki yango na kati-kati ya lopango. Amataki na likolo na yango, afukamaki liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, atombolaki maboko likolo
14 And sayd, O Lord God of Israel, there is no God like thee in heauen nor in earth, which keepest couenant, and mercie vnto thy seruants, that walke before thee with all their heart.
mpe asambelaki: — Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele! Ezali na nzambe moko te oyo akokani na Yo, ezala kuna na likolo to awa na se. Obatelaka boyokani mpe bolingo na Yo mpo na basali na Yo, oyo batambolaka kolanda mokano na Yo na mitema na bango mobimba.
15 Thou that hast kept with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him: for thou spakest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thine hand, as appeareth this day.
Okokisi bilaka oyo opesaki na Davidi, tata na ngai mpe mosali na Yo; makambo oyo olobaki, na monoko na Yo, okokisi yango na nguya ya loboko na Yo, ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.
16 Therefore now Lord God of Israel, keepe with thy seruant Dauid my father, that thou hast promised him, saying, Thou shalt not want a man in my sight, that shall sit vpon the throne of Israel: so that thy sonnes take heede to their wayes, to walke in my Lawe, as thou hast walked before me.
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, kokisa mpe elaka mosusu oyo opesaki na Davidi, tata na ngai mpe mosali na Yo, tango olobaki na ye: « Okozangaka te moto oyo akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele, na miso na Ngai, soki bana na yo bakotambola malamu liboso na Ngai mpe bakotosa mibeko na Ngai, ndenge yo otamboli kolanda mokano na Ngai. »
17 And now, O Lord God of Israel, let thy worde be verified, which thou spakest vnto thy seruant Dauid.
Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, tika ete elaka oyo opesaki na Davidi, mosali na Yo, ekokisama!
18 (Is it true in deede that God will dwell with man on earth? beholde, the heauens, and the heauens of heauens are not able to conteine thee: how much more vnable is this house, which I haue buylt?)
Boni, Nzambe akoki solo kovanda na mokili elongo na bato? Soki kutu Likolo mpe Likolo oyo eleki likolo ekoki kokoka Yo te, bongo ekozala boni mpo na Tempelo oyo ngai natongi?
19 But haue thou respect to the prayer of thy seruant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to heare the crye and prayer which thy seruant prayeth before thee,
Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, yoka na bokebi losambo mpe libondeli na ngai, mowumbu na Yo! Yoka koganga mpe libondeli oyo mowumbu na Yo azali kotombola epai na Yo!
20 That thine eyes may be open toward this house day and night, euen toward the place, whereof thou hast sayde, that thou wouldest put thy Name there, that thou mayest hearken vnto the prayer, which thy seruant prayeth in this place.
Tika ete, moyi mpe butu, miso na Yo ezala ya kofungwama mpo na kotala Tempelo oyo, esika oyo olobaki ete okotia kuna Kombo na Yo! Yoka losambo oyo mowumbu na Yo azali kotombola na esika oyo!
21 Heare thou therefore the supplication of thy seruant, and of thy people Israel, which they pray in this place: and heare thou in the place of thine habitation, euen in heauen, and when thou hearest, be mercifull.
Okoyoka mabondeli oyo mowumbu na Yo mpe bato na Yo, Isalaele, bakotombola epai na Yo na kotala na ngambo ya esika oyo! Tika ete oyoka biso wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo; yoka mpe limbisa!
22 When a man shall sinne against his neighbour, and he laye vpon him an othe to cause him to sweare, and the swearer shall come before thine altar in this house,
Soki moto asali lisumu epai ya mozalani na ye, mpe batindi ye na makasi ete alapa ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe, liboso ya etumbelo na Yo kati na Tempelo oyo,
23 Then heare thou in heauen, and doe, and iudge thy seruants, in recompensing the wicked to bring his way vpon his head, and in iustifying the righteous, to giue him according to his righteousnes.
yoka wuta na Likolo; sala mpe kata makambo kati na bawumbu na Yo mpo na kokweyisa moto oyo asali mabe mpe komemisa ye ngambo ya mabe na ye kolanda etamboli na ye, mpe mpo na kolongisa moto ya sembo mpe kosalela ye kolanda bosembo na ye.
24 And when thy people Israel shalbe ouerthrowen before the enemie, because they haue sinned against thee, and turne againe, and confesse thy Name, and pray, and make supplication before thee in this house,
Soki banguna balongi bato na Yo, Isalaele, mpo ete basalaki masumu liboso na Yo, soki babongoli mitema mpo na kozongela Yo, basanzoli Kombo na Yo, basambeli mpe babondeli Yo, kati na Tempelo oyo,
25 Then heare thou in heauen, and be mercifull vnto the sinne of thy people Israel, and bring them againe vnto the land which thou gauest to them and to their fathers.
yoka wuta na Likolo, limbisa masumu ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe zongisa bango na mabele oyo opesaki bango mpe batata na bango!
26 When heauen shall be shut vp, and there shalbe no rayne, because they haue sinned against thee, and shall pray in this place, and confesse thy Name, and turne from their sinne, when thou doest afflict them,
Soki likolo ekangami mpe mvula ezali lisusu te mpo ete basalaki masumu liboso na Yo, soki basambeli na kotala na ngambo ya esika oyo, basanzoli Kombo na Yo mpe batiki masumu na bango, pamba te osili koyokisa bango soni,
27 Then heare thou in heauen, and pardon the sinne of thy seruants, and of thy people Israel (when thou hast taught them the good way wherein they may walke) and giue rayne vpon thy lande, which thou hast giuen vnto thy people for an inheritance.
yoka bango wuta na Likolo, limbisa masumu ya bawumbu na Yo mpe ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, —tango osili kolakisa bango nzela malamu oyo basengeli kolanda— mpe tinda mvula na mokili na Yo, mokili oyo opesaki lokola libula epai ya bato na Yo.
28 When there shalbe famine in the land, when there shalbe pestilence, blasting, or mildew, when there shall be grashopper, or caterpiller, when their enemie shall besiege them in the cities of their land, or any plague or any sickenesse,
Soki nzala makasi to bokono makasi to moto to bokawuki to kopola ya bambuma to mabanki to mankoko eyei kati na mokili, soki banguna bazingeli bato na Yo kati na mokili na bango, na bikuke ya bingumba na bango, to soki pasi to bokono ya lolenge nyonso ekweyeli bango,
29 Then what prayer and supplication so euer shalbe made of any man, or of all thy people Israel, whe euery one shall knowe his owne plague, and his owne disease, and shall stretch forth his hands toward this house,
soki, wana bato na Yo, Isalaele, bayoki mawa makasi kati na mitema na bango mpo na pasi to bokono yango, moko na moko atomboli maboko na ye na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo, asambeli to abondeli Yo,
30 Heare thou then in heauen, thy dwelling place, and be merciful, and giue euery man according vnto all his wayes, as thou doest knowe his heart (for thou onely knowest the hearts of the children of men)
yoka ye wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo, limbisa, zongisela moto na moto kolanda etamboli na ye, mpo ete oyebi motema na ye. Solo, Yo kaka nde oyebi mitema ya bato.
31 That they may feare thee, and walke in thy wayes as long as they liue in the land which thou gauest vnto our fathers.
Sala bongo mpo ete batosa Yo mpe batambola na banzela na Yo mikolo nyonso oyo bakovanda na mabele oyo opesaki epai na batata na biso.
32 Moreouer, as touching ye stranger which is not of thy people Israel, who shall come out of a farre countrey for thy great Names sake, and thy mighty hande, and thy stretched out arme: when they shall come and pray in this house,
Ndenge moko mpe mpo na mopaya oyo azali te na molongo ya Isalaele, bato na Yo: wana akowuta na mokili ya mosika, mpo na Kombo monene na Yo, mpo na loboko na Yo ya nguya mpe esembolama; soki ayei mpe asambeli na kotala na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo,
33 Heare thou in heauen thy dwelling place, and doe according to all that the stranger calleth for vnto thee, that all the people of the earth may knowe thy Name, and feare thee like thy people Israel, and that they may knowe, that thy Name is called vpon in this house which I haue built.
yoka wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo, mpe salela ye nyonso oyo akosenga Yo mpo ete bikolo nyonso ya mokili bayeba Kombo na Yo, batosa Yo lokola Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe bayeba ete Tempelo oyo natongi ebulisami nde mpo na Kombo na Yo.
34 When thy people shall goe out to battell against their enemies, by the way that thou shalt send them, and they pray to thee, in the way towarde this citie, which thou hast chosen, euen toward the house which I haue built to thy Name,
Tango bato na Yo bakokende kobundisa banguna na bango na nzela oyo okolakisa bango, soki basambeli Yo na kotala na ngambo ya engumba oyo oponaki mpe na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo natongi mpo na Kombo na Yo,
35 Then heare thou in heauen their prayer and their supplication, and iudge their cause.
yoka wuta na Likolo losambo mpe libondeli na bango, mpe longisa bango.
36 If they sinne against thee (for there is no man that sinneth not) and thou be angry with them and deliuer them vnto the enemies, and they take them and cary them away captiue vnto a land farre or neere,
Tango bakosala masumu liboso na Yo, pamba te moto nyonso asalaka masumu, bongo Yo osilikeli bango mpe okabi bango na maboko ya banguna oyo bamemi bango na bowumbu kati na mokili songolo, ezala ya mosika to ya pene,
37 If they turne againe to their heart in the lande whither they be caryed in captiues, and turne and pray vnto thee in the lande of their captiuitie, saying, We haue sinned, we haue transgressed and haue done wickedly,
soki, wuta na mokili ya bowumbu, basosoli, babongoli mitema, babondeli Yo kati na mokili ya bowumbu na bango mpe balobi: « Tosalaki masumu, tosalaki bambeba, tosalaki makambo mabe; »
38 If they turne againe to thee with all their heart, and with all their soule in the land of their captiuitie, whither they haue caryed them captiues, and pray toward their land, which thou gauest vnto their fathers, and toward the citie which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I haue built for thy Name,
soki, wuta na mokili epai wapi bamemaki bango na bowumbu, basengi Yo bolimbisi, na mitema mpe na milimo na bango mobimba, soki basambeli na kotala na ngambo ya mokili na bango, oyo opesaki epai na batata na bango, na ngambo ya engumba oyo oponaki mpe na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo natongi mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo,
39 Then heare thou in heauen, in the place of thine habitation their prayer and their supplication, and iudge their cause, and be mercifull vnto thy people, which haue sinned against thee.
yoka wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo; yoka losambo mpe mabondeli na bango, longisa bosembo na bango mpe limbisa bato na Yo na masumu oyo basalaki liboso na Yo.
40 Nowe my God, I beseech thee, let thine eyes be open, and thine eares attent vnto the prayer that is made in this place.
Kobanda sik’oyo, oh Nzambe na ngai, tika ete miso na Yo ezala ya kofungwama mpe matoyi na Yo eyoka na bokebi mabondeli oyo ekosalema na esika oyo!
41 Nowe therefore arise, O Lord God, to come into thy rest, thou, and the Arke of thy strength: O Lord God, let thy Priestes be clothed with saluation, and let thy Saints reioyce in goodnesse.
Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe,
42 O Lord God, refuse not the face of thine anoynted: remember the mercies promised to Dauid thy seruant.
Oh Yawe Nzambe, kobwaka te mopakolami na Yo,
