Chronicles II 29
1 And Ezekias began to reign at the age of twenty-five years, and he reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem: and his mother's name was Abia, 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 right in the sight of the Lord, according to all that his father David had done.
Ezekiasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki.
3 And it came to pass, when he was established over his kingdom, in the first month, 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 in the priests and the Levites, and put them on the east side,
Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, asangisaki bango na libanda ya ngambo ya este.
5 and said to them, Hear, you Levites: now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of the Lord God of your fathers, and cast out the impurity from the holy places.
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 revolted, and done that which was evil before the Lord our God, and have forsaken him, and have turned away their face from the tabernacle of the Lord, and have turned [their] back.
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 And they have shut up the doors of the temple, and put out the lamps, and have not burnt incense, and have not offered whole burnt offerings in the holy [place] 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 And the Lord was very angry with Juda and Jerusalem, and made them an astonishment, and a desolation, and a hissing, 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 And, behold, your fathers have been struck with the sword, and your sons and your daughters and your wives are in captivity in a land not their own, as it is even now.
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 Therefore it is now in my heart to make a covenant, a covenant with the Lord God of Israel, that he may turn away his fierce wrath 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 And now be not lacking [to your duty], for the Lord has chosen you to stand before him to minister, and to be ministers and burners of 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 rose up, Maath the son of Amasi, and Joel the son of Azarias, of the sons of Caath: and of the sons of Merari, Kis the son of Abdi, and Azarias the son of Haelel: and of the sons of Gedsoni, Jodaad the son of Zemmath, and Joadam: these [were] the sons of Joacha.
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; Zambri, and Jeiel: and of the sons of Asaph; Zacharias, and Matthanias:
na molongo ya Elitsafani: Shimiri mpe Yeyeli; na molongo ya Azafi: Zakari mpe Matania;
14 and of the sons of Aeman; Jeiel, and Semei: and of the sons of Idithun; Samaisa, and Oziel.
na molongo ya Emani: Yeyeli mpe Shimei; mpe na molongo ya Yedutuni: Shemaya mpe Uzieli.
15 And they gathered their brethren, and they purified themselves according to the king's command by the order of the Lord, to purify 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 entered into the house of the Lord, to purify [it], and they cast out all the uncleanness that was found in the house of the Lord, even into the court of the house of the Lord: and the Levites received [it] to cast into the brook of Kedron without.
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 [Ezekias] began on the first day, [even] on the new moon of the first month, to purify, and on the eighth day of the month they entered into the temple of the Lord: and they purified the house of the Lord in eight days; and on the thirteenth day of the first month they finished [the work].
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 Ezekias, and said, We have purified all the things in the house of the Lord, the altar of whole burnt offering, and its vessels, and the table of show-bread, and 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 which king Achaz polluted in his reign, in his apostasy, we have prepared and purified: 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 And king Ezekias rose early in the morning, and gathered the chief men 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 he brought seven calves, seven rams, seven lambs, seven kids of goats for a sin-offering, for the kingdom, and for the holy things, and for Israel: and he told the priests the sons of Aaron to go up to 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 And they killed the calves, and the priests received the blood, and poured it on the altar: and they killed the rams, and poured the blood upon the altar: also they killed the lambs, and poured the blood round 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 goats for a sin-offering before the king and the congregation; and 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 offered their blood as a propitiation on the altar; and they made atonement for all Israel: for the king said, The whole burnt offering, and the sin-offering [are] 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 stationed the Levites in the house of the Lord with cymbals, and lutes, and harps, according to the commandment of king David, and of Gad the king's seer, and Nathan the prophet: for by the commandment of the Lord the order [was] in the hand of the 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 Ezekias told [them] to offer up the whole burnt offering on the altar: and when they began to offer the whole burnt offering, they began to sing to the Lord, and the trumpets [accompanied] 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 psalm-singers [were] singing, and the trumpets sounding, until the whole burnt sacrifice had been completely offered.
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 done offering [it], the king and all that were present bowed, 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 Ezekias and the princes told the Levites to sing hymns to the Lord in the words of David, and of Asaph the prophet: and they sang hymns with gladness, and fell down 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 Then Ezekias answered and said, Now you have consecrated yourselves to the Lord, bring near and offer sacrifices of praise in the house of the Lord. And the congregation brought sacrifices and thank-offerings into the house of the Lord; and every one who was ready in his heart [brought] whole 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 whole burnt offerings which the congregation brought, was seventy calves, a hundred rams, two hundred lambs: all these [were] for a whole 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 calves were six hundred, [and] the sheep three thousand.
Babulisaki lisusu lokola bambeka bangombe nkama motoba, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto misato.
34 But the priests were few, and could not flay the whole burnt offering, so their brethren the Levites helped them, until the work was finished, and until the priests had purified themselves: for the Levites [more] zealously purified [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 the whole burnt offering [was] abundant, with the fat of the complete peace-offering, and the drink-offerings of the whole burnt sacrifice. So the service was established in the house of the Lord.
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 Ezekias and all the people rejoiced, because God has 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.
