1 Chronicles 22
1 Then David said, “Here, [at the edge of Jerusalem, ] is where [we will build] the temple for our God Yahweh, and where [we will make] the altar for burning the offerings that the Israeli [people will bring].”
Davidi alobaki: « Tempelo ya Yawe Nzambe mpe etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba mpo na Isalaele ekozala na esika oyo. »
2 So David commanded that the foreigners who lived in Israel must gather together. [When they did that, ] he appointed [some of those] men to [cut huge] stones [from the quarries] and to smooth their surfaces, to be used to build the temple of God.
Boye, Davidi apesaki mitindo ya kosangisa bapaya oyo bazalaki kovanda na Isalaele. Mpe kati na bango, aponaki bato oyo bakataka mabanga mpo na kotonga Ndako ya Nzambe.
3 David provided a large amount of iron for making nails and hinges for the doors in the gates of the temple. He also provided so much bronze [for making the altar and various utensils], that no one could weigh it all.
Davidi apesaki bibende ebele mpo na kosala basete mpe bibende oyo esimbaka bikuke. Apesaki lisusu bronze ebele oyo bakoki kotanga te,
4 He also provided [money for buying] a large amount of cedar logs. Because there was a huge number of them, no one was able to count them. Those were logs that men from Tyre and Sidon [cities] sent to David.
banzete ebele ya sedele oyo bakoki kotanga te, pamba te bato ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni bamemelaki Davidi banzete yango ebele.
5 David [provided all those things because he] thought, “My son Solomon is still young and he does not know what he needs to know [about building], and the temple of Yahweh must be (magnificent/very beautiful). It must be a glorious building that will become famous, and people throughout the world must consider it to be glorious/splendid. So now I will begin to prepare for it to be built, [and Solomon will be responsible for building it].” So David collected a great amount of building materials before he died.
Davidi alobaki: « Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, azali nanu elenge mpe ayebi nanu makambo malamu te. Nzokande, Ndako oyo esengeli kotongama mpo na Yawe esengeli kozala monene, kitoko mpe na lokumu mingi na miso ya bikolo nyonso. Yango wana, nakobongisa biloko mpo na Ndako yango. » Boye Davidi abongisaki biloko ebele liboso ete akufa.
6 [When] David [was old, he] summoned his son Solomon, and told him that he should arrange for a temple to be built for Yahweh, the God whom the Israelis [worshiped].
Davidi abengisaki Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, mpe apesaki ye mokumba ya kotonga Ndako mpo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
7 He said to him, “I wanted [IDM] to build a temple to honor [MTY] Yahweh, my God.
Davidi alobaki na Salomo: « Mwana na ngai, nazwaki likanisi ya kotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ngai;
8 But Yahweh told [a prophet to tell] me, ‘You have killed many men [MTY] in the battles that you have fought. I have seen the blood of all the people whom you killed, so you will not be the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY].
kasi tala maloba oyo Yawe alobaki na ngai: ‹ Osopaki makila ebele mpe obundaki bitumba ebele. Okoki te kotonga ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai; pamba te kati na mokili, osopaki makila ebele na miso na Ngai.
9 But you will have a son [who will be king of Israel after you die]. He will be a man who is peaceful and quiet, [not a man who kills others]. And I will cause that there will be peace between him and his enemies who are in all the nearby lands. His name will be Solomon, [which sounds like the word for peace]. During the time that he is king, people in Israel will be peaceful and safe.
Kasi okozala na mwana moko ya mobali oyo akozala moto ya kimia mpe ya boboto. Nakopesa ye bopemi liboso ya banguna na ye nyonso oyo bazingeli ye. Kombo na ye ekozala Salomo; mpe na mikolo nyonso oyo ye akozala mokonzi, nakopesa kimia mpe bopemi na Isalaele.
10 He is the one who will arrange for a temple to be built to honor me [MTY]. He will be [like] a son to me, and I will cause some of his descendants to rule [MTY] over Israel forever [HYP].’
Ye nde akotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai. Akozala mwana mpo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala Tata mpo na ye, nakolendisa kiti na ye ya bokonzi kati na Isalaele mpo na libela. ›
11 “So now, my son, I hope/wish that Yahweh will help you, and enable you to be successful in arranging for building the temple of Yahweh, your God, which is what he said that you would do.
Sik’oyo, mwana na ngai, tika ete Yawe azala elongo na yo mpo ete otonga Ndako mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na yo, ndenge alobaki na tina na yo!
12 I also hope/wish that he will enable you to be wise and to understand what you need to know, and enable you to obey his laws while you rule over Israel.
Tika ete apesa yo bwanya mpe mayele, mpo ete tango okokoma mokonzi ya Isalaele, okoka kobatela mobeko ya Yawe Nzambe na yo!
13 If you carefully obey all the laws and regulations/commands that Yahweh gave to Moses to give to us Israeli people, you will be successful. So be steadfast/strong and courageous. Do not be afraid of anything, and do not become discouraged!
Boye, okolonga soki obateli malamu bikateli mpe mibeko oyo Yawe apesaki na Moyize mpo na Isalaele. Zala makasi mpe yika mpiko! Kobanga te mpe kozonga sima te!
14 “I have tried hard to provide [materials] for [building] the temple of Yahweh. I have provided nearly 4,000 tons of gold, and nearly 40,000 tons of silver. I have also provided a very large amount of iron and bronze; no one has been able to weigh it all. I have also gathered/provided lumber and stone [for the walls of the temple], but you may need to get some more of those things.
Tala, namonaki pasi mpo na kosangisa mpo na Tempelo ya Yawe, minkoko misato ya kilo ya wolo, minkoko tuku misato ya kilo ya palata, bronze mpe bibende ebele oyo bakoki kotanga te, mabaya mpe mabanga. Boye yo mpe okoki kobakisa mosusu.
15 There are many men [in Israel] who have good ability to cut big stones for making stone walls, and carpenters, and men who are very skilled at making various kinds of things.
Ozali na bato ebele ya misala ya maboko: bato oyo bakataka mabanga, bato oyo basalaka misala ya mabaya mpe bato oyo basalaka misala nyonso ya maboko.
16 There are many men who know how to make things from gold and silver and bronze and iron. So now [I say to you], begin the work [of building the temple], and I hope/wish that Yahweh will help/be with you.”
Ozali na wolo, palata, bronze mpe bibende ebele oyo bakoki kotanga te. Sik’oyo, banda mosala; mpe tika ete Yawe azala na yo elongo! »
17 Then David commanded that all the Israeli leaders must assist Solomon. He said to them,
Mpe Davidi apesaki mitindo epai ya bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele ete basunga mwana na ye Salomo.
18 “Yahweh our God is certainly with/helping you [RHQ]. He has allowed you to have peace with all the nearby nations [RHQ]. He has enabled my [army] to conquer [IDM] them, so now Yahweh and my people control them.
Alobaki na bango: « Boni, Yawe, Nzambe na bino, azali elongo na bino te? Apesaki bino bopemi na ngambo nyonso te? Pamba te akabaki na maboko na ngai bato ya mokili oyo. Mokili yango ezali na se ya bokonzi ya Yawe mpe ya bato na Ye.
19 Now you must obey Yahweh completely. Help Solomon to arrange for building the temple for Yahweh God, in order that you can bring the Sacred Chest that contains the Ten Commandments and the other sacred items that belong to God into the temple that you will build to honor Yahweh.”
Sik’oyo, bobongisa mitema mpe milimo na bino mpo na koluka Yawe, Nzambe na bino. Bobanda kotonga Esika ya bule ya Yawe Nzambe mpo ete boyeisa Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe mpe biloko ya bule ya Nzambe, na Tempelo oyo ekotongama mpo na Kombo na Yawe. »
