Ezra 8
1 Now these are the chiefs of their divisions, and this is the genealogy of those that went up with me, in the reign of king Artaxerxes, from Babylon.
Tala bakambi ya mabota, kolanda ndenge babotamela, oyo bazongaki elongo na ngai, wuta na Babiloni, na tango Aritakizerisesi azalaki mokonzi:
2 Of these sons of Phinehas, Gershom; of the sons of Ithamar, Daniel; of the sons of David, Chattush;

Kati na bakitani ya Azigadi: Yoanani, mwana mobali ya Akatani, elongo na bato na ye nkama moko na zomi.
13 And of the sons of Adonikam the last; and those are their names, Eliphelet, Je'iel, and Shema'yah, and with them were sixty males.
Kati na bakitani ya Adonikami: bana ya suka oyo bakombo na bango ezalaki Elifeleti, Yeyeli mpe Shemaya, elongo na bato na bango tuku motoba.
14 And of the sons of Bigvai, 'Uthai, and Zabbur, and with them were seventy males.
Kati na bakitani ya Bigivayi: Utayi mpe Zabudi elongo na bato na bango tuku sambo.
15 And I gathered them together to the river that runneth into the Ahava, and we encamped there three days: and I looked about among the people, and the priests, but of the sons of Levi I found none there.
Nasangisaki bango pene ya ebale oyo ezalaki kotiola na ngambo ya Akava, mpe tovandaki kuna mikolo misato. Tango natalaki malamu bato mpe Banganga-Nzambe, namonaki ata Molevi moko te kuna.
16 Then sent I for Eli'ezer, for Ariel, for Shema'yah, and for Elnathan, and for Jarib, and for Elnathan, and for Nathan, and for Zechariah, and for Meshullam, the head men; also for Joyarib, and for Elnathan, men of understanding.
Boye nabengisaki Eliezeri, Arieli, Shemaya, Elinatani, Yaribi, Elinatani, Natan, Zakari mpe Meshulami oyo bazalaki bakambi; Yoyaribi mpe Elinatani oyo bazalaki bato ya mayele.
17 And I sent them with a charge unto Iddo the chief at the place Cassiphia, and I laid the words in their mouth to speak unto Iddo, and to his brother, who were appointed at the place Cassiphia, that they should bring unto us ministers for the house of our God.
Natindaki bango epai ya Ido, mokambi ya mboka Kasifia; nayebisaki bango makambo oyo basengeli koloba na Ido mpe bandeko na ye ya mosala, basali ya Tempelo, oyo bazalaki kovanda na Kasifia, mpo ete bamemela biso basali mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso.
18 And they brought unto us according to the good hand of our God upon us a man of intelligence, of the sons of Machli, the son of Levi, the son of Israel, namely, Sherebyah, with his sons and his brothers, eighteen;
Lokola loboko ya ngolu ya Nzambe na biso ezalaki likolo na biso, bamemelaki biso Sherebia, moto ya mayele, kati na bakitani ya Maali, mwana mobali ya Levi, mwana mobali ya Isalaele, elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali, bango nyonso zomi na mwambe,
19 And Chashabyah, and with him Jesha'yah of the sons of Merari, his brothers and their sons, twenty.
elongo na Ashabia mpe Ezayi, bakitani ya Merari, elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali mpe bana na bango ya mibali. Bango nyonso bazalaki tuku mibale.
20 Also of the temple-servants, whom David and the princes had assigned for the service of the Levites two hundred and twenty temple-servants, all of whom were expressed by names.
Bamemaki lisusu basali ya Tempelo, nkama mibale na tuku mibale, bakitani ya bato oyo Davidi mpe lisanga ya bakalaka na ye batiaki mpo na kosunga Balevi. Batangaki bango nyonso na bakombo na bango.
21 Then did I proclaim a fast there, at the river Ahava, that we might afflict ourselves before our God, to request from him a prosperous journey for us, and for our little ones, and for all our substance.
Kuna, pene ya ebale Akava, napesaki mitindo ya kokila bilei mpo na komikitisa liboso ya Nzambe na biso mpe kosenga Ye mobembo malamu mpo na biso, mpo na bana na biso mpe mpo na biloko na biso nyonso.
22 For I was ashamed to ask of the king an army and horsemen to assist us against an enemy on the way; because we had spoken unto the king, saying, The hand of our God is upon all those that seek him for good; but his power and his wrath are against all those that forsake him.
Nayokaki soni mpo na kosenga epai ya mokonzi basoda mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda, mpo na kobatela biso na nzela liboso ya banguna na biso; pamba te tolobaki na mokonzi: « Loboko ya ngolu ya Nzambe na biso ezali likolo ya moto nyonso oyo alukaka Ye, kasi kanda makasi na Ye ekitelaka bato nyonso oyo basundolaka Ye. »
23 So we fasted and besought our God for this, and he suffered himself to be entreated by us.
Boye, tokilaki bilei mpe tosengaki ngolu yango epai ya Nzambe na biso, mpe Ye ayanolaki libondeli na biso.
24 Then set I apart of the chiefs of the priests twelve persons, Sherebyah, Chashabyah, and with them ten of their brethren.
Bongo na sima, natiaki kati na bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe bakonzi zomi na mibale: Sherebia, Ashabia elongo na bandeko na bango zomi.
25 And I weighed out unto them the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, the offering for the house of our God, which the king, and his counsellors, and his princes, and all Israel there present, had offered.
Namekaki liboso na bango makabo ya palata, ya wolo mpe bisalelo nyonso oyo mokonzi, bapesi toli na ye, bakalaka na ye mpe Isalaele mobimba bapesaki mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso.
26 And I weighed out into their hand of silver six hundred and fifty talents, and of silver vessels one hundred talents, of gold one hundred talents;
Napesaki bango kilo nkoto tuku mibale ya palata, kilo nkoto misato ya bisalelo basala na palata, kilo nkoto misato ya wolo,
27 Also twenty cups of gold, of a thousand drachms; and two vessels of fine polished copper, valuable as gold.
bakopo ya wolo tuku mibale oyo ezali na motuya ya mbongo ya bibende ya wolo nkoto moko mpe biloko mibale ya kitoko basala na bronze oyo engalaka lokola wolo.
28 And I said unto them, Ye are holy unto the Lord; and the vessels are holy; and the silver and the gold are a freewill offering unto the Lord the God of your fathers.
Nalobaki na bango: « Bino elongo na biloko oyo, bobulisami mpo na Yawe. Palata mpe wolo oyo ezali makabo oyo bato bakati bango moko kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango, epai na Yawe, Nzambe ya tata na bino.
29 Watch ye, and guard them, until ye weigh them out before the chiefs of the priests and the Levites, and the chiefs of the divisions of Israel, at Jerusalem, into the chambers of the house of the Lord.
Bosenzela mpe bobatela yango malamu kino tango bokomeka kilo na yango liboso ya bakonzi ya Banganga-Nzambe, ya Balevi mpe ya bakambi ya mabota ya Isalaele, kati na bashambre ya Tempelo ya Yawe, na Yelusalemi. »
30 And the priests and the Levites accepted what was weighed out of the silver, and the gold, and the vessels, to bring the same to Jerusalem to the house of our God.
Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bayambaki palata, wolo mpe bisalelo ya bule oyo bamekaki kilo na yango, mpo na komema yango na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso, na Yelusalemi.
31 And we departed from the river Ahava on the twelfth day of the first month, to go unto Jerusalem: and the hand of our God was over us, and he delivered us from the hand of any enemy, and of such as lie in wait on the way.
Na mokolo ya zomi na mibale ya sanza ya liboso, tolongwaki na ebale Akava mpo na kokende na Yelusalemi. Loboko ya Nzambe na biso ezalaki likolo na biso, mpe abatelaki biso na nzela liboso ya banguna mpe ya bato ya mobulu.
32 And we came to Jerusalem, and remained there three days.
Tokomaki na Yelusalemi mpe topemaki kuna mikolo misato.
33 And on the fourth day were the silver and the gold and the vessels weighed out in the house of our God into the hand of Meremoth the son of Uriyah the priest; and with him was El'azar the son of Phinehas; and with them was Jozabad the son of Jeshua', and No'adyah the son of Binnui, the Levites;
Na mokolo ya minei, tomekaki kilo ya palata, ya wolo mpe bisalelo ya bule kati na Ndako ya Nzambe na biso, liboso ya kopesa yango na maboko ya Nganga-Nzambe Meremoti, mwana mobali ya Uri; azalaki elongo na Eleazari, mwana mobali ya Pineasi, mpe Balevi Yozabadi, mwana mobali ya Jozue, mpe Noadia, mwana mobali ya Binuwi.
34 By number and by weight of everything: and all the weight was written down at the same time.
Batangaki mpe bamekaki kilo ya biloko nyonso; mpe bakomaki yango na buku kaka na tango wana.
35 Those that came out of the captivity, the children of the exile, offered burnt-offerings unto the God of Israel, twelve bullocks for all Israel, ninety and six rams, seventy and seven sheep, twelve he-goats for a sin-offering: all as burnt-offerings unto the Lord.
Bato oyo bakendeki na bowumbu bazongaki wuta na bowumbu mpe babonzaki mpo na Isalaele mobimba lokola mbeka ya kotumba epai ya Nzambe ya Isalaele: bangombe ya mibali zomi na mibale, bameme ya mibali tuku libwa na motoba, bana meme tuku sambo na sambo, mpe bantaba zomi na mibale lokola mbeka ya masumu. Babonzaki nyonso lokola mbeka ya kotumba mpo na Yawe.
36 And they delivered the king's commands unto the king's lieutenants, and to the governors on this side of the river; and these endowed the people, and the house of God.
Batindaki lisusu sango ya mitindo ya mokonzi epai ya bayangeli oyo mokonzi atiaki na bituka mpe epai ya bayangeli ya etuka ya ngambo ya weste ya ebale Efrate, oyo basungaki bato mpe Tempelo ya Nzambe.
