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 where the house of Yahweh God will be, with the altar for the burnt offerings of 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.
So David ordered his servants to gather together the foreigners living in the land of Israel. He assigned them to be stonecutters, to cut stone blocks, in order to build God's house.
3 Davidi apesaki bibende ebele mpo na kosala basete mpe bibende oyo esimbaka bikuke. Apesaki lisusu bronze ebele oyo bakoki kotanga te,
David supplied a large amount of iron for the nails for the doors to go in the gateways, and for braces. He also supplied more bronze than could be weighed,
4 banzete ebele ya sedele oyo bakoki kotanga te, pamba te bato ya Tiri mpe ya Sidoni bamemelaki Davidi banzete yango ebele.
and more cedar trees than could be counted. (The Sidonians and the Tyrians brought too many cedar logs to David to count.)
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.
David said, “My son Solomon is young and inexperienced, and the house that is to be built for Yahweh must be especially magnificent, so that it will be famous and glorious in all other lands. So I will prepare for its building.” So David made extensive preparations 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 commanded him to build a house for Yahweh, 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;
David said to Solomon, “My son, it was my intention to build a house myself, for the name of Yahweh 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 Yahweh came to me and said, 'You have shed much blood and have fought many battles. You will not build a house for my name, because you have shed much blood on 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.
However, you will have a son who will be a peaceful man. I will give him rest from all his enemies on every side. For his name will be Solomon, and I will give peace and quiet to 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 will build a house for my name. He will be my son, and I will be his father. I will establish the throne of his kingdom over Israel forever.'
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 Yahweh be with you and enable you to succeed. May you build the house of Yahweh your God, as he said you would.
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 Yahweh give you insight and understanding, so that you may obey the law of Yahweh your God, when he places you in charge over Israel.
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 you will succeed, if you carefully obey the statutes and the decrees that Yahweh gave to Moses concerning Israel. Be strong and courageous. Do not fear or be discouraged.
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, see, at great effort I have prepared for Yahweh's house 100,000 talents of gold, one million talents of silver, and bronze and iron in large quantities. I have also provided timber and stone. You must add more to all this.
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.
You have many workmen with you: stonecutters, masons, carpenters, and skillful craftsmen without number of every kind,
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! »
who can work with gold, silver, bronze, and iron. Arise and begin the work, and may Yahweh be with you.”
17 Mpe Davidi apesaki mitindo epai ya bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele ete basunga mwana na ye Salomo.
David also ordered all the leaders 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.
“Yahweh your God is with you and has given you peace on every side. He has given the region's inhabitants into my hand. The region is subdued before Yahweh and 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 seek Yahweh your God with all your heart and your soul. Get up and build the holy place of Yahweh God. Then you can bring the ark of the covenant of Yahweh and the things that belong to God into the house built for Yahweh's name.”
