< Ezra 6 >

1 Then Darius the king made a decree, and they sought in the house of the scrolls of the treasuries placed there in Babylon,
Mokonzi Dariusi apesaki mitindo, mpe balukaki kati na babuku ya kala oyo ezalaki na Babiloni, kati na ebombelo bomengo ya mokonzi.
2 and there has been found at Achmetha, in a palace that [is] in the province of Media, a scroll, and a record thus written within it [is]:
Mpe bamonaki buku moko kati na Ekibatane, engumba mokonzi ya etuka ya Medi. Tala makomi oyo ezalaki kati na buku yango: « Ekaniseli:
3 “In the first year of Cyrus the king, Cyrus the king has made a decree concerning the house of God in Jerusalem: let the house be built in the place where they are sacrificing sacrifices, and its foundations strongly laid; its height sixty cubits, its breadth sixty cubits;
Na mobu ya liboso ya mokonzi Sirisi, mokonzi Sirisi azwaki mokano na tina na Tempelo ya Nzambe kati na Yelusalemi: Tempelo ya Nzambe esengeli kotongama lisusu mpo ete ezala esika ya kobonza mbeka; boye esengeli kozongisa miboko na yango. Tempelo ekozala na bametele pene tuku misato na bosanda mpe bametele pene tuku misato na mokuse.
4 three rows of rolled stones, and a row of new wood, and let the outlay be given out of the king’s house.
Ekozala na milongo misato ya mabanga bakata mpe molongo moko ya mabaya ya sika mpo na motondo. Mbongo ya kofuta mpo na misala yango ekowuta na bomengo ya mokonzi.
5 And also, the vessels of the house of God, of gold and silver, that Nebuchadnezzar took forth out of the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, and brought to Babylon, let be given back, and go to the temple that [is] in Jerusalem, [each] to its place, and put [them] down in the house of God.
Lisusu, biloko basala na wolo mpe na palata ya Ndako ya Nzambe, oyo Nabukodonozori azwaki na Tempelo kati na Yelusalemi mpe amemaki na Babiloni, esengeli kozonga na bisika na yango kati na Tempelo, na Yelusalemi; basengeli kotia yango kati na Ndako ya Nzambe.
6 Now Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, the Apharsachites, who [are] beyond the river, be far from here;
Sik’oyo, Tatinayi, moyangeli ya etuka oyo ezali na ngambo ya weste ya ebale Efrate, Shetari-Bozinayi mpe bino baninga na bango ya mosala, bakambi ya etuka, bozala mosika ya likambo oyo.
7 let alone the work of this house of God, let the governor of the Jews, and [the] elders of the Jews, build this house of God on its place.
Botika ete misala ya kotonga lisusu Ndako oyo ya Nzambe ekoba. Tika ete moyangeli mpe bakambi ya Bayuda batonga yango lisusu na esika na yango ya kala.
8 And a decree is made by me concerning that which you do with [the] elders of these Jews to build this house of God, that of [the] riches of [the] king, that [are] of [the] tribute beyond [the] river, let the outlay be given speedily to these men, that they do not cease;
Tala mitindo oyo ngai nazali kopesa bino na tina na oyo bosengeli kosala mpo na kosunga bakambi ya Bayuda mpe mpo na misala ya botongi Ndako oyo ya Nzambe: ‹ Bosengeli tango nyonso kozwaka mbongo ya misala na bomengo ya mokonzi, oyo ewutaka na mpako oyo etuka ya ngambo ya weste ya ebale Efrate efutaka mpo na mokonzi, mpo na kofuta bato wana na ndenge ekoki mpe mpo ete misala etelema te.
9 and what they are needing—both young bullocks, and rams, and lambs for burnt-offerings to the God of the heavens, wheat, salt, wine, and oil according to the saying of the priests who [are] in Jerusalem—let be given to them day by day without fail,
Bosengeli mpe kopesaka mikolo nyonso epai ya Banganga-Nzambe ya Yelusalemi biloko nyonso oyo bakozala na yango na bosenga mpo na mbeka ya kotumba ya Nzambe ya Likolo: bana ngombe ya mibali, bameme ya mibali, bana meme, ble, mungwa, masanga ya vino mpe mafuta. Soki bakomi na bosenga ya biloko, bino bosengeli kopesa bango yango mikolo nyonso, mpe esengeli te kozanga,
10 that they are bringing sweet savors near to the God of the heavens, and praying for the life of the king, and of his sons.
mpo ete bakoka kobonzaka mbeka ya solo kitoko epai ya Nzambe ya Likolo, mpe mpo ete basambelaka mpo na bomoi malamu ya mokonzi elongo na bana na ye ya mibali.
11 And a decree is made by me, that anyone who changes this thing, let wood be pulled down from his house, and being raised up, let him be struck on it, and let his house be made a dunghill for this.
Bongo tala mokano oyo nasili kozwa mpo na moto nyonso oyo akobongola to akotosa te mitindo oyo: bakolongola libaya moko kati na ndako na ye, bakotelemisa yango, bakodiembika ye na libaya yango mpe bakokomisa ndako na ye mopiku ya biloko ya mbindo.
12 And God, who caused His Name to dwell there, casts down any king and people that puts forth his hand to change, to destroy this house of God that [is] in Jerusalem; I Darius have made a decree; let it be done speedily.”
Tika ete Nzambe oyo atiaki Kombo na Ye kuna akweyisa mokonzi nyonso to bato nyonso oyo bakomeka kotombola loboko mpo na koboya kotosa to kobongola mitindo na ngai na kobuka Tempelo oyo ya Nzambe kati na Yelusalemi. Ezali ngai, Dariusi, moto napesi mitindo yango. Tika ete botosa yango malamu mpe na lombangu. › »
13 Then Tatnai, governor beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and their companions, according to that which Darius the king has sent, so they have done speedily;
Boye, Tatinayi, moyangeli ya etuka ya ngambo ya weste ya ebale Efrate, mpe Shetari-Bozinayi elongo na baninga na bango ya mosala batosaki mitindo ya mokonzi Dariusi na lombangu mpe na ndenge ezaleli.
14 and [the] elders of [the] Jews are building and prospering through [the] prophecy of Haggai [the] prophet, and Zechariah son of Iddo, and they have built and finished by [the] decree of [the] God of Israel, and by [the] decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes king of Persia.
Boye bakambi ya Bayuda bakobaki misala ya kotonga, mpe balongaki wana balendisamaki na maloba ya basakoli Aje mpe Zakari, mokitani ya Ido. Basilisaki kotonga kolanda mitindo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele mpe ya Sirisi, Dariusi, mpe Aritakizerisesi, bakonzi ya Persi.
15 And this house has gone out until the third day of the month Adar, that is [in] the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king.
Basilisaki kotonga Ndako mobimba ya Nzambe, na mokolo ya misato ya sanza ya Adari, tango mokonzi Dariusi akokisaki mibu motoba na bokonzi.
16 And the sons of Israel have made, [and] the priests, and the Levites, and the rest of the sons of the captivity, a dedication of this house of God with joy,
Bato ya Isalaele, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bato mosusu oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basalaki feti ya libulisi ya Ndako ya Nzambe.
17 and have brought near for the dedication of this house of God: one hundred bullocks, two hundred rams, four hundred lambs; and twelve young male goats for a sin-offering for all Israel according to the number of the tribes of Israel;
Babonzaki bangombe ya mibali nkama moko, bameme ya mibali nkama mibale, bana meme nkama minei mpo na libulisi ya Ndako ya Nzambe; mpe bantaba ya mibali zomi na mibale, moko mpo na ekolo moko na moko ya Isalaele, lokola mbeka mpo na masumu ya Isalaele mobimba.
18 and they have established the priests in their divisions, and the Levites in their courses, over the service of God that [is] in Jerusalem, as it is written in the scroll of Moses.
Bakabolaki mpe Banganga-Nzambe kolanda milongo na bango, mpe Balevi kolanda masanga na bango mpo na mosala ya Nzambe kati na Yelusalemi, ndenge ekomama kati na buku ya Moyize.
19 And the sons of the captivity make the Passover on the fourteenth of the first month,
Na mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya liboso, bana ya Isalaele oyo bawutaki na bowumbu basepelaki feti ya Pasika.
20 for the priests and the Levites have been purified together—all of them [are] pure—and they slaughter the Passover for all the sons of the captivity, and for their brothers the priests, and for themselves.
Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi bamipetolaki kolanda mibeko mpe bakomaki peto. Boye Balevi bakataki kingo ya mpate lokola mbeka ya Pasika mpo na bato nyonso oyo bawutaki na bowumbu, mpo na bandeko na bango, Banganga-Nzambe, mpe mpo na bango moko.
21 And the sons of Israel, those returning from the captivity, and everyone who is separated from the uncleanness of the nations of the land to them, to seek to YHWH, God of Israel, eat,
Bana ya Isalaele oyo bawutaki na bowumbu baliaki yango elongo na bato nyonso oyo bakabwanaki na misala ya mbindo ya bikolo ya mokili mpe basanganaki elongo na bango mpo na koluka Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
22 and they make the Celebration of Unleavened Things seven days with joy, for YHWH made them to rejoice, and turned around the heart of the king of Asshur to them, to strengthen their hands in the work of the house of God, the God of Israel.
Na mikolo sambo, basalaki na esengo feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, pamba te Yawe atondisaki bango na esengo ndenge abongolaki makanisi ya mokonzi ya Asiri mpo ete asunga bango na misala ya botongi Ndako ya Nzambe, ya Nzambe ya Isalaele.
