Ezra 3
1 But, when the seventh month was come, and the sons of Israel were in cities, then did the people gather themselves together as one man, unto Jerusalem.
Na sanza ya sambo, bana ya Isalaele oyo bavandaki kati na bingumba na bango basanganaki na Yelusalemi lokola moto moko.
2 Then arose—Jeshua son of Jozadak and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, —to offer thereon ascending-sacrifices, as it was written in the law of Moses, the man of God.
Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki, elongo na baninga na ye, Banganga-Nzambe, mpe Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, elongo na bandeko na ye, babandaki kotonga etumbelo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele mpo na kobonza kuna mbeka ya kotumba kolanda makomi kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe.
3 So they settled the altar upon its stands, for, dread, was upon them, because of the peoples of the countries, —therefore caused they to go up thereon, ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, ascending-sacrifices for the morning and for the evening.
Atako bazalaki koyoka bato oyo bazalaki pembeni na bango somo, batongaki etumbelo na likolo ya miboko na yango ya kala mpe babonzaki wana mpo na Yawe mbeka ya kotumba ya tongo mpe ya pokwa.
4 And they kept the festival of booths, as it was written, —and the ascending-offering of each day upon its own day, by number, according to regulation, the matter of a day upon its day;
Bongo kolanda makomi, basepelaki feti ya Bandako ya kapo, mpe babonzaki mikolo nyonso bambeka ya kotumba kolanda motango oyo ekatama mpo na mokolo na mokolo.
5 and, afterwards, the continual ascending-sacrifice, and, on the new moons, and on all the appointed seasons of Yahweh, the hallowed things, —also for every one that volunteered a voluntary offering unto Yahweh.
Sima na yango, babonzaki mbeka ya kotumba ya tango nyonso, bambeka ya kotumba oyo ekatama mpo na feti ya ebandeli ya sanza mpe mpo na feti nyonso oyo ekatama mpo na Yawe, mpe bambeka ya kotumba mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki bango moko kopesa makabo wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango.
6 From the first day of the seventh month, began they to offer up ascending-sacrifices unto Yahweh, —but, the temple of Yahweh, had not had its foundation laid.
Bato babandaki kobonzela Yawe bambeka ya kotumba na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya sambo, atako bamitongelaki nanu te miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
7 And they gave silver, unto the masons and carpenters, —and food and drink and oil, unto them of Zidon and unto them of Tyre, to bring in cedar-trees out of the Lebanon, unto the sea of Joppa, according to the grant of Cyrus king of Persia unto them.
Bapesaki mbongo epai ya batongi ndako mpe epai ya basharipantie; bongo bapesaki lisusu bilei, masanga mpe mafuta epai ya bato ya Sidoni mpe ya Tiri mpo ete bamema, na nzela ya ebale monene, banzete ya sedele longwa na Libani kino na Jafa, na ndingisa ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi.
8 Now, in the second year of their coming in unto the house of God, to Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel and Jeshua son of Jozadak and the rest of their brethren—the priests and the Levites, and all that were come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, and stationed the Levites, of twenty years old and upwards, to preside over the work of the house of Yahweh.
Na sanza ya mibale ya mobu ya mibale sima na bango kokoma na Ndako ya Nzambe kati na Yelusalemi, Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli; Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki, elongo na bandeko na bango mosusu, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazongaki na Yelusalemi wuta na bowumbu, babandaki misala ya kotonga. Baponaki Balevi oyo bazalaki na mibu kobanda tuku mibale mpe komata mpo ete balandela misala ya kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe.
9 So they took their station—even Jeshua, his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, sons of Judah, as one man to preside over the doer of the work in the house of God, the sons of Henadad, their sons and their brethren, the Levites.
Jozue elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali, Kadimieli elongo na bana na ye ya mibali oyo bazalaki bakitani ya Yuda, bapesamelaki mokumba ya kolandela bato oyo bazalaki kotonga Ndako ya Nzambe. Mpe bakitani ya Enadadi elongo na bana na bango ya mibali mpe bandeko na bango, Balevi, bazalaki kosunga bango.
10 And, when the builders laid the foundation of the temple of Yahweh, then the priests, enrobed, took their stand with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to offer praise unto Yahweh, after the instructions of David king of Israel.
Tango batongi ndako basilisaki kotonga miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe, Banganga-Nzambe kati na bilamba na bango ya mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe elongo na bakelelo na bango na maboko; Balevi, bakitani ya Azafi, elongo na manzanza, batelemaki na bisika na bango mpo na kokumisa Yawe, kolanda mitindo ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
11 And, when they made responses in offering praise and in giving thanks unto Yahweh—For he is good, for, age-abiding, is his lovingkindness, upon Israel, then, all the people, shouted with a great shout, in offering praise unto Yahweh, over the laying of the foundation of the house of Yahweh.
Bazalaki koyemba banzembo mpo na kokumisa mpe kozongisela Yawe matondi: « Solo, azali malamu, bolingo na Ye mpo na Isalaele ewumelaka seko na seko! » Bongo bato nyonso bazalaki kobeta milolo makasi mpo na kokumisa Yawe mpo ete bazalaki kotia miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
12 But, many of the priests and the Levites and the ancestral chiefs, who were old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, were weeping with a loud voice, —many, however, shouting and rejoicing, with voice raised on high;
Nzokande, kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo ya mikolo, kati na Balevi oyo ya mikolo mpe kati na bakambi ya mabota, oyo ya mikolo, ezalaki na ebele oyo bamonaki Tempelo ya liboso; bongo bazalaki kolela na mongongo makasi wana bazalaki kotia miboko ya Tempelo ya sika na miso na bango. Mpe kaka na tango yango, ebele ya bato mosusu bazalaki kosepela na koganga makasi mpe na kobeta milolo nzela moko na maboko.
13 so that the people could not distinguish the noise of the shout of joy, from the noise of the weeping of the people, —for, the people, did shout with a great shout, and, the noise, was heard afar off.
Boye bato bakokaki te kokesenisa makelele ya bato oyo bazali koganga mpo na esengo mpe makelele ya bato oyo bazali kolela, pamba te bato bazalaki koganga makasi mpe makelele na bango ezalaki koyokana kino na mosika.
