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. »
And David said, This is the house of the Lord the [true] God, and this is the altar for the 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 ordered to gather together the strangers that were in the land of Israel: and he appointed [them] to be masons to hew cut 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 iron in abundance for the nails for the doors of the gates, and for the joinings, did David prepare; and copper in abundance, [which] could not be weighed;
4 banzete ebele ya sedele oyo bakoki kotanga te, pamba te bato ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni bamemelaki Davidi banzete yango ebele.
Also cedar-trees [which] could not be counted; for the Zidonians and the Tyrians had 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 built [in honor] of the Lord must be exceedingly great, for fame and for glory throughout all the countries: I will therefore make preparation for it. So David made abundant preparation 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.
And 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 mind 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 there came concerning me the word of the Lord, saying, Blood in abundance hast thou shed, and great wars hast thou made: thou shalt not build a house unto my name, because much blood hast thou shed upon the earth before me.
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 will be born to thee, he it is who shall be a man of rest; and I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side; for Solomon [[The Peaceful]] shall be his name, and peace and quietness will I bestow on 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 it is who shall build a house unto my name; and he shall be unto me as a son, and I will be unto him as 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, may the Lord be with thee, that thou mayest prosper, 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 may the Lord give thee intelligence and understanding, and give thee charge over Israel, so that thou mayest observe 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 wilt thou prosper, if thou observe to practise the statutes and the ordinances which the Lord commanded Moses concerning Israel: be strong, and of good courage; be not afraid, nor be thou 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.
And, behold, during my affliction have I prepared for the house of the Lord one hundred thousand talents of gold, and a thousand times thousand talents of silver; and of copper and iron [as much as] cannot be weighed; for in [such] abundance was it: and wood and stone have I prepared; and thou must 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 with thee in abundance workmen, hewers and workers of stone and timber, and all manner of skilful men for every kind 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! »
The gold, the silver, and the copper, and the iron cannot be numbered: arise, [therefore, ] and be doing, and may the Lord be with thee.
17 Mpe Davidi apesaki mitindo epai ya bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele ete basunga mwana na ye Salomo.
And David gave a charge to all the princes of Israel to help Solomon his son, [saying, ]
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.
Behold the Lord your God is with you; and he hath given you rest on every side; for he hath given up into my hand the inhabitants of the land, 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 direct your heart and your soul to seek the Lord your God; and arise, and build ye the sanctuary of the Lord the [true] God, [in order] to bring the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and the holy vessels of God, into the house that is to be built unto the name of the Lord.
