< 2 Chronicles 29 >

1 Hezekiah began to reign when he was five and twenty years old; and he reigned nine and twenty years in Jerusalem; and his mother's name was Abijah the 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 that which was right in the eyes 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 He in the first year of his reign, in the first month, 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 in the priests and the Levites, and gathered them together into the broad place on the east;
Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, asangisaki bango na libanda ya ngambo ya este.
5 and said unto them: 'Hear me, ye Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the LORD, the God of your fathers, and carry forth the filthiness out of the holy place.
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 acted treacherously, and done that which was evil in the sight of the LORD our God, and have forsaken Him, and have turned away their faces from the habitation 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 Also they have shut up the doors of the porch, and put out the lamps, and have not burned incense nor offered burnt-offerings in the holy place unto 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 Wherefore the wrath of the LORD was upon Judah and Jerusalem, and He hath delivered them to be a horror, an astonishment, and a 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 For, lo, 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 the LORD, 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 the LORD hath chosen you to stand before Him, to minister unto Him, and that ye should be His ministers, and offer unto 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 Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathites; and of the sons of Merari, Kish the son of Abdi, and Azariah the son of Jehallelel; 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 sanctified themselves, and went in, according to the commandment of the king by the words of the LORD, to cleanse the house of the LORD.
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 in unto the inner part of the house of the LORD, to cleanse it, and brought out all the uncleanness that they found in the temple of the LORD into the court of the house of the LORD. And the Levites took it, to carry it out abroad to 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 Now they began on the first day of the first month to sanctify, and on the eighth day of the month came they to the porch of the LORD; and they sanctified the house of the LORD in 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 Then they went in to Hezekiah the king within the palace, and said: 'We have cleansed all the house of the LORD, even the altar of burnt-offering, with all the vessels thereof, and the table of showbread, with all the vessels thereof.
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 Moreover all the vessels, which king Ahaz in his reign did cast away when he acted treacherously, have we prepared and sanctified; and, behold, they are 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 Then Hezekiah the king arose early, and gathered the princes of the city, and went up to 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 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 on 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 So they killed the bullocks, and the priests received the blood, and dashed it against the altar; and they killed the rams, and dashed the blood against the altar; they killed also the lambs, and dashed the blood against 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 for 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 killed them, and they made a sin-offering with their blood upon the altar, to make atonement for all Israel; for the king commanded that the burnt-offering 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, with psalteries, and with harps, according to the commandment of David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet; for the commandment was of the LORD by 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 the burnt-offering upon the altar. And when the burnt-offering began, the song of the LORD began also, and the trumpets, together with 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 prostrated themselves, and the singers sang, and the trumpeters sounded; all this continued 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 made an end of offering, the king and all that were present with him bowed themselves and prostrated themselves.
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 Moreover Hezekiah the king and the princes commanded the Levites to sing praises unto the LORD with the words of David, and of Asaph the seer. And they sang praises with gladness, and they bowed their heads and prostrated themselves.
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 Then Hezekiah answered and said: 'Now ye have consecrated yourselves unto the LORD, 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 brought 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 threescore and ten bullocks, a hundred rams, and two hundred lambs; all these were for a burnt-offering to the LORD.
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 But the priests were too few, so that they could not flay all the burnt-offerings; wherefore their brethren the Levites did help them, till the work was ended, and until the priests had sanctified themselves; for the Levites were more upright in heart to sanctify 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 the drink-offerings for every burnt-offering. So the service of the house of the LORD was firmly established.
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, because of that which God had prepared for 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.
