< Ezra 3 >
1 And when the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel [were] in the cities, the people assembled themselves as one man at Jerusalem.
Na sanza ya sambo, bana ya Isalaele oyo bavandaki kati na bingumba na bango basanganaki na Yelusalemi lokola moto moko.
2 Then stood up Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and his brethren the priests, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and his brethren, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt-offerings on it as [it is] 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 And they set the altar upon its bases; for fear [was] upon them because of the people of those countries: and they offered burnt-offerings on it to the LORD, [even] burnt-offerings morning and 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 They kept also the feast of tabernacles, as [it is] written, and [offered] the daily burnt-offerings by number, according to the custom, as the duty of every day required;
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 afterward [offered] the continual burnt-offering, both of the new moons, and of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of every one that willingly offered a free-will-offering to the LORD.
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 they began to offer burnt-offerings to the LORD. But the foundation of the temple of the LORD was not [yet] 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 They gave money also to the masons, and to the carpenters; and provisions, and drink, and oil, to them of Zidon, and to them of Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea of Joppa, according to the grant that they had of Cyrus king of Persia.
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 to the house of God at Jerusalem, in the second month, began Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the remnant of their brethren the priests and the Levites, and all they that had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem; and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to set forward the work of the house of the LORD.
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 Then stood Jeshua [with] his sons and his brethren, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Judah, together, to set forward the workmen in the house of God: the sons of Henadad, [with] 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 the LORD, they set the priests in their apparel with trumpets, and the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, after the ordinance 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 they sang together by course in praising and giving thanks to the LORD; because [he is] good, for his mercy [endureth] for ever towards Israel. And all the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD was laid.
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 Levites and chief of the fathers, old men, that had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice; and many shouted aloud for joy:
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 discern the noise of the shout of the joy from the noise of the weeping of the people: for the people shouted with a loud 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.
