1 Masolo ya Kala 22
1 Davidi alobaki: « Tempelo ya Yawe Nzambe mpe etumbelo ya mbeka ya kotumba mpo na Isalaele ekozala na esika oyo. »
Then David said: 'This is the house of the LORD God, and this is the altar of burnt-offering for Israel.'
2 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.
And David commanded to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel; and he set masons to hew wrought stones to build the house of God.
3 Davidi apesaki bibende ebele mpo na kosala basete mpe bibende oyo esimbaka bikuke. Apesaki lisusu bronze ebele oyo bakoki kotanga te,
And David prepared iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the couplings; and brass in abundance without weight;
4 banzete ebele ya sedele oyo bakoki kotanga te, pamba te bato ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni bamemelaki Davidi banzete yango ebele.
and cedar-trees without number; for the Zidonians and they of Tyre brought cedar-trees in abundance to David.
5 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.
And David said: 'Solomon my son is young and tender, and the house that is to be builded for the LORD must be exceeding magnificent, of fame and of glory throughout all countries; I will therefore make preparation for him.' So David prepared abundantly before his death.
6 Davidi abengisaki Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, mpe apesaki ye mokumba ya kotonga Ndako mpo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
Then He called for Solomon his son, and charged him to build a house for the LORD, the God of Israel.
7 Davidi alobaki na Salomo: « Mwana na ngai, nazwaki likanisi ya kotonga Ndako mpo na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ngai;
And David said to Solomon: 'My son, as for me, it was in my heart to build a house unto the name of the LORD my God.
8 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.
But the word of the LORD came to me, saying: Thou hast shed blood abundantly, and hast made great wars; thou shalt not build a house unto My name, because thou hast shed much blood upon the earth in My sight.
9 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.
Behold, a son shall be born to thee, who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies round about; for his name shall be Solomon, and I will give peace and quietness unto Israel in his days.
10 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. ›
He shall build a house for My name; and he shall be to Me for a son, and I will be to him for a father; and I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel for ever.
11 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!
Now, my son, the LORD be with thee; and prosper thou, and build the house of the LORD thy God, as He hath spoken concerning thee.
12 Tika ete apesa yo bwanya mpe mayele, mpo ete tango okokoma mokonzi ya Isalaele, okoka kobatela mobeko ya Yawe Nzambe na yo!
Only the LORD give thee discretion and understanding, and give thee charge concerning Israel; that so thou mayest keep the law of the LORD thy God.
13 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!
Then shalt thou prosper, if thou observe to do the statutes and the ordinances which the LORD charged Moses with concerning Israel; be strong, and of good courage; fear not, neither be dismayed.
14 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.
Now, behold, in my straits I have prepared for the house of the LORD a hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand thousand talents of silver; and of brass and iron without weight, for it is in abundance; timber also and stone have I prepared; and thou mayest add thereto.
15 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.
Moreover there are workmen with thee in abundance, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all men that are skilful in any manner of work;
16 Ozali na wolo, palata, bronze mpe bibende ebele oyo bakoki kotanga te. Sik’oyo, banda mosala; mpe tika ete Yawe azala na yo elongo! »
of the gold, the silver, and the brass, and the iron, there is no number. Arise and be doing, and the LORD be with thee.'
17 Mpe Davidi apesaki mitindo epai ya bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele ete basunga mwana na ye Salomo.
David also commanded all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son:
18 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.
'Is not the LORD your God with you? and hath He not given you rest on every side? for He hath delivered the inhabitants of the land into my hand; and the land is subdued before the LORD, and before His people.
19 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. »
Now set your heart and your soul to seek after the LORD your God; arise therefore, and build ye the sanctuary of the LORD God, to bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built to the name of the LORD.'
