1 Chronicles 29
1 Then King David said to all the people who had gathered there, “My son Solomon, the one whom God has chosen [to be the next king], is young and does not have much experience. This work [of building the temple] is great/important, because this glorious building will not be to [honor] people, but to honor Yahweh our God.
Mokonzi Davidi alobaki na lisanga mobimba: — Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, moko kaka oyo Nzambe aponi, azali nanu elenge mpe ayebi penza makambo malamu te. Nzokande, mosala ezali monene, pamba te Ndako oyo ezali mpo na moto te kasi mpo na Yawe Nzambe.
2 From all the things that I possess, I have provided [what will be needed] to [build] the temple of my God—the gold for the things to be made of gold, the silver for the things to be made of silver, bronze for the things to be made of bronze, iron for the things to be made of iron, wood for the things to be made of wood, and large amounts of onyx and turquoise and other valuable stones of various colors, and marble and all kinds of valuable stones.
Na bozwi na ngai nyonso, nabongisaki mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai: wolo mpo na misala ya wolo, palata mpo na misala ya palata, ebende mpo na misala ya bibende, mabaya mpo na misala ya mabaya, mabanga ya onikisi mpe mabanga ya kobamba, mabanga oyo engengaka mpe ya balangi ebele, mabanga ya talo ya lolenge nyonso mpe mabanga ya marbre. Biloko oyo nyonso ezalaki penza ebele.
3 In addition to all these things that I have given for the temple, I am giving treasures of gold and silver, because I very much desire that this holy temple for my God be built.
Mpe lisusu, na tina na bolingo na ngai mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai, napesi sik’oyo wuta na bozwi na ngai moko: wolo mpe palata mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai likolo ya nyonso oyo nabongisaki mpo na Ndako oyo ya bule:
4 I am giving 110 tons of gold from Ophir and 260 tons of refined silver to cover the walls of the buildings,
kilo nkoto nkama moko ya wolo ya peto ya Ofiri, kilo nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mitano ya palata ya peto mpo na kolatisa bamir ya Ndako.
5 for making the other items of gold and silver, and for the other work to be done by the craftsmen. So now, [I ask you], are there others willing to show [by contributing other gifts for the building of the temple] [EUP] that they have dedicated themselves to Yahweh?”
Wolo mpe palata yango ebongisami mpo na misala ya wolo mpe ya palata, mpe mpo na misala nyonso oyo bato ya misala ya maboko basengeli kosala. Sik’oyo, nani alingi kopesa na esengo mpe na motema moko epai na Yawe?
6 Then the leaders of the families/clans, the leaders of the tribes of Israel, the commanders of 1,000 soldiers and the commanders of 100 soldiers, and the officials who supervised the work that the king wanted done, gave gifts (willingly/because they wanted to give them).
Boye, bakambi ya mabota, bakonzi ya mabota ya Isalaele, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama mpe bakambi ya misala ya mokonzi bapesaki makabo wuta na mitema na bango moko.
7 For the work at the temple they gave 190 tons and (185 pounds/84 kg.) of gold, 375 tons of silver, 675 tons of bronze, and 3,750 tons of iron.
Mbala moko, bapesaki mpo na mosala ya Ndako ya Nzambe: bakilo nkama tuku sambo ya wolo, biloko ya wolo nkoto zomi, bakilo koleka minkoko nkama misato ya palata, bakilo nkoto nkama motoba ya bronze, mpe bakilo koleka minkoko misato ya bibende.
8 And any people who owned valuable stones gave them to be put in the storeroom of the temple. Jehiel, a descendant of Gershon, was appointed to be in charge of them.
Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na mabanga ya talo bapesaki yango na ebombelo ya bozwi ya Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya Yeyeli, moto ya libota ya Gerishoni.
9 The people were happy to see that their leaders wanted to give those things, because [they knew that] their leaders were happy and enthusiastic to give those things to Yahweh. And King David also was very happy.
Bato basepelaki mingi na makabo oyo bango moko bapesaki wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango, pamba te bazalaki kopesa yango epai ya Yawe, na motema mobimba. Mokonzi Davidi mpe asepelaki na yango mingi.
10 Then, while all the people there were listening, David prayed, saying, “We praise you, Yahweh, the God whom our ancestor Jacob worshiped. We will praise you forever!
Davidi akumisaki Yawe liboso ya lisanga mobimba na maloba oyo: « Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, tata na biso, tika ete ozwa lokumu mpo na libela!
11 You alone are great and powerful; only you are truly glorious and majestic and wonderful. [And that is true] because everything in heaven and on the earth is yours. You are the king of all the people in this world; you are the ruler of everything.
Oh Yawe, monene, nguya, kongenga, nkembo mpe bokonzi ezali ya Yo; pamba te biloko nyonso oyo ezali na likolo mpe na se ezali ya Yo. Yawe, bokonzi ezali ya Yo, osalaka nyonso oyo olingi na ekelamu nyonso.
12 Because you are very powerful [DOU], you are able to cause anyone to be great and strong.
Bozwi mpe lokumu ewutaka epai na Yo; ozali na bokonzi likolo na nyonso, makasi mpe nguya ezali na maboko na Yo mpo na kotombola mpe kopesa makasi na moto nyonso.
13 So now, our God, we thank you, and we praise you [MTY] for being very great.
Nzambe na biso, tozali sik’oyo kosanzola Yo mpe kokumisa Kombo na Yo.
14 But my people and I are not really able to give anything to you, because everything [that we have] comes from you, and what we have given to you are only the things that we have received from you [MTY].
Nazali nani, mpe bato na ngai bazali banani, mpo ete tozwa makoki ya kopesa makabo oyo, wuta na mokano ya mitema na biso moko? Nyonso ewutaka epai na Yo, mpe topesi Yo kaka oyo ewuti na loboko na Yo.
15 [In this land] we are like [MET] foreigners and strangers, like our ancestors were. Our time here on this earth is like [SIM] a shadow [that disappears quickly]; [we know that there is] nothing [that] can enable us [to escape dying].
Liboso na Yo, tozali bapaya mpe baleki nzela, ndenge ezalaki batata na biso. Mikolo na biso awa na mokili ezali koleka lokola elili oyo ezangi elikya.
16 Yahweh our God, we have gathered all these things to use in building your [MTY] temple, but all of it really belongs to you, and you have given it to us [MTY].
Oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, bomengo nyonso oyo tobongisi mpo na kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo ya Bule ewuti na loboko na Yo mpe ezali ya Yo.
17 My God, I know that you test us people, and you are pleased if you find out that we do what is right. All these things I have given to you because I wanted to. And now I have seen that your people have also joyfully and generously given things to you.
Oh Nzambe na ngai, nayebi ete oyebi bozindo ya mitema na biso, osepelaka na bosembo. Napesi nyonso oyo wuta na mokano ya motema na ngai moko mpe na makanisi ya lokuta te. Sik’oyo, namoni ndenge nini bato na Yo, oyo bazali awa, bapesi Yo makabo oyo na motema malamu.
18 Yahweh, the God whom our ancestors Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob worshiped, I desire/hope that your people will continue to desire [to do things like this] forever, and that they will always be loyal to you.
Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Abrayami, Izaki mpe Isalaele, batata na biso, batela makanisi oyo kati na mitema ya bato na Yo mpo na libela mpe sala ete mitema na bango ekangama na Yo.
19 And now, please enable my son Solomon to faithfully and sincerely [DOU] obey your commands and laws and decrees [DOU] and to do everything that is needed to build this beautiful building for which I have provided [all these things].”
Pesa na mwana na ngai ya mobali, Salomo, motema ya boyengebene mpo na kobatela mitindo na Yo, malako na Yo mpe bikateli na Yo; mpo na kosala nyonso mpe kotonga Ndako oyo nasaleli mabongisi oyo nyonso. »
20 Then David said to all the people who were gathered there, “Praise Yahweh our God!” So they all praised Yahweh the God whom their ancestors ([also worshiped/belonged to]). They prostrated themselves on the ground in front of Yahweh and in front of the king.
Davidi alobaki na bato nyonso: — Bopambola Yawe, Nzambe na bino! Boye, bato nyonso bakumisaki Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango, bagumbamaki mpe bafukamaki liboso ya Yawe mpe ya mokonzi.
21 The next day the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh. They presented many animals to be completely burned [on the altar]: 1,000 bulls, 1,000 rams, 1,000 male sheep, plus offerings of wine, and many other sacrifices on behalf of all [the people of] Israel.
Mokolo oyo elandaki, babonzaki bambeka mpe bambeka ya kotumba epai na Yawe: bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme ya mibali nkoto moko mpe bana meme nkoto moko elongo na makabo ya masanga ya vino mpe makabo mosusu ebele, mpo na Isalaele mobimba.
22 On that day the people were joyful and ate and drank while Yahweh was watching. Then for the second time they declared that Solomon was now the king. While Yahweh was watching, they anointed him [with olive oil] to be the king, and they anointed Zadok to be the Supreme Priest.
Baliaki mpe bamelaki liboso ya Yawe na esengo na mokolo wana, mpe batatolaki mpo na mbala ya mibale ete Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, azali mokonzi. Bapakolaki ye mafuta mpo ete azala mokonzi; mpe Tsadoki, mpo ete azala Nganga-Nzambe.
23 So Solomon sat on the throne [because Yahweh wanted him to be] the king to succeed his father David. [During the following years] Solomon prospered, and all the Israeli people obeyed him.
Salomo avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Yawe lokola mokonzi na esika ya Davidi, tata na ye. Apambolamaki mpe Isalaele mobimba etosaki ye.
24 King David’s other sons and all the officers and mighty warriors accepted Solomon as their king, and they solemnly promised to obey him.
Bakonzi nyonso, basoda ya mpiko mpe bana nyonso ya mibali ya mokonzi Davidi batosaki mokonzi Salomo.
25 Yahweh caused Solomon to be highly respected by all the Israeli people, and they honored him very much. No king of Israel was honored as much as Solomon was.
Yawe atombolaki Salomo makasi liboso ya Isalaele mobimba, mpe apesaki ye lokumu ya bokonzi koleka bakonzi nyonso ya Isalaele oyo balekaki liboso na ye.
26 Jesse’s son David was the king who ruled all of Israel.
Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba.
27 He ruled for 40 years: Seven years in Hebron [city] and 33 years in Jerusalem.
Davidi akonzaki Isalaele mibu tuku minei: mibu sambo na Ebron mpe mibu tuku misato na misato na Yelusalemi.
28 He became an old man who was very rich and greatly honored by all the people. Then he died, and his son Solomon became the king [of Israel].
Akufaki na kimobange ya esengo. Atondisamaki na mibu ebele, na bozwi mpe na lokumu; bongo Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
29 A record of all the things that King David did while he ruled, from the beginning to the end, was put on scrolls written by the prophets Samuel, Nathan, and Gad.
Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Davidi, wuta na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Samuele, na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Natan mpe na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Gadi.
30 They told about his powerful rule [HEN], and all the things that happened to him and to the people of Israel and in the nearby kingdoms [while he was ruling Israel].
Kati na babuku ya misala yango, balobelaki mpe makambo nyonso ya bokonzi mpe ya makasi na ye, makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ye, Isalaele mpe mikili nyonso ya zingazinga.
