1 Masolo ya Kala 28
1 Davidi abengisaki bakambi nyonso ya Isalaele, na Yelusalemi: bakonzi ya mabota, bakonzi ya masanga ya basoda oyo bazalaki kosalela mokonzi, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama ya basoda, babateli bozwi mpe bibwele ya mokonzi, bato oyo balandelaka bana na ye ya mibali elongo na basali ya ndako ya mokonzi, basoda ya mpiko mpe bato nyonso ya lokumu.
And David assembled all the chief men of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the companies, who waited on the king: and the captains over thousands, and over hundreds, and them who had the charge over the substance and possessions of the king, and his sons with the officers of the court, and the men of power, and all the bravest of the army at Jerusalem.
2 Mokonzi Davidi atelemaki mpe alobaki: — Boyoka ngai, bandeko na ngai mpe bato na ngai: Nazalaki na likanisi ya kotonga esika ya kopema mpo na Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, enyatelo ya makolo ya Nzambe na biso; bongo nabongisaki biloko mpo na kotonga yango.
And the king rising up, and standing said: Hear me, my brethren and my people: I had a thought to have built a house, in which the ark of the Lord, and the footstool of our God might rest: and I prepared all things for the building.
3 Kasi Nzambe alobaki na ngai: « Okotonga ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai te, pamba te ozali moto ya bitumba mpe osopaki makila. »
And God said to me: Thou shalt not build a house to my name: because thou art a man of war, and hast shed blood.
4 Nzokande, Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, aponaki ngai kati na libota na ngai mobimba mpo ete nazala mokonzi ya Isalaele mpo na libela. Aponaki Yuda mpo ete azala mokonzi; mpe kati na ndako ya Yuda, aponaki libota ya tata na ngai; mpe kati na bana mibali ya tata na ngai, asepelaki kokomisa ngai mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba.
But the Lord God of Israel chose me of all the house of my father, to be king over Israel for ever: for of Juda he chose the princes: and of the house of Juda, my father’s house: and among the sons of my father, it pleased him to choose me king over all Israel.
5 Kati na bana na ngai nyonso ya mibali, pamba te Yawe apesi ngai bango ebele, aponaki Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, mpo ete avanda na Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Yawe kati na Isalaele.
And among my sons (for the Lord hath given me many sons) he hath chosen Solomon my son, to sit upon the throne of the kingdom of the Lord over Israel.
6 Alobaki na ngai: « Mwana na yo, Salomo, nde akotonga Ndako na Ngai mpe lopango na Ngai, pamba te naponaki ye mpo ete azala mwana mpo na Ngai, mpe Ngai nakozala tata mpo na ye.
And he said to me: Solomon thy son shall build my house, and my courts: for I have chosen him to be my son, and I will be a father to him.
7 Nakolendisa bokonzi na ye mpo na libela soki akangami makasi na mibeko na Ngai ndenge azali kosala yango lelo. »
And I will establish his kingdom for ever, if he continue to keep my commandments, and my judgments, as at this day.
8 Sik’oyo, napesi bino mokumba liboso ya Isalaele mobimba, ya lisanga ya Yawe, mpe liboso ya Nzambe na biso, oyo azali koyoka biso: Bosala keba mpo na kolanda mitindo nyonso ya Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo ete bozwa mokili oyo ya kitoko mpe kotika yango lokola libula epai ya bakitani na bino mpo na libela.
Now then before all the assembly of Israel, in the hearing of our God, keep ye, and seek all the commandments of the Lord our God: that you may possess the good land, and may leave it to your children after you for ever.
9 Bongo, yo Salomo, mwana na ngai, yeba Nzambe ya tata na yo mpe salela Ye na motema na yo mobimba mpe na esengo; pamba te Yawe amonaka kino na bozindo ya mitema nyonso mpe asosolaka makanisi na yango nyonso. Soki oluki Ye, okomona Ye; kasi soki atiki Ye, akobwaka yo mpo na libela.
And thou my son Solomon, know the God of thy father, and serve him with a perfect heart, and a willing mind: for the Lord searcheth all hearts, and understandeth all the thoughts of minds. If thou seek him, thou shalt find him: but if thou forsake him, he will cast thee off for ever.
10 Yeba sik’oyo ete Yawe aponi yo mpo ete otongela Ye Ndako oyo ekozala Esika na Ye ya Bule. Yika mpiko mpe sala mosala.
Now therefore seeing the Lord hath chosen thee to build the house of the sanctuary, take courage, and do it.
11 Davidi apesaki Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, elili ya ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo, ya bandako mosusu ya Tempelo, ya bibombelo na yango, ya bashambre na yango ya likolo, ya bashambre na yango ya kati mpe ya esika ya bolimbisi masumu.
And David gave to Solomon his son a description of the porch, and of the temple, and of the treasures, and of the upper floor, and of the inner chambers, and of the house for the mercy seat,
12 Apesaki ye elili ya nyonso oyo molimo atiaki na makanisi na ye na tina na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe, ya bashambre nyonso ya zingazinga, ya biloko ya talo ya Ndako ya Nzambe mpe ya biloko ya bule.
As also of all the courts, which he had in his thought, and of the chambers round about, for the treasures of the house of the Lord, and for the treasures of the consecrated things,
13 Davidi apesaki ye mibeko na tina na masanga ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya Balevi, na tina na misala nyonso mpe bisalelo nyonso ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
And of the divisions of the priests and of the Levites, for all the works of the house of the Lord, and for all the vessels of the service of the temple of the Lord.
14 Mpo na bisalelo ya mosala, Davidi atalisaki kilo ya wolo oyo ekoki mpo na bisalelo nyonso ya wolo; kilo ya palata oyo ekoki mpo na bisalelo nyonso ya palata:
Gold by weight for every vessel for the ministry. And silver by weight according to the diversity of the vessels and uses.
15 kilo ya wolo mpo na bitelemiselo ya minda basala na wolo mpe minda na yango ya wolo kolanda kilo ya etelemiselo moko na moko ya minda elongo na minda na yango; kilo ya palata mpo na etelemiselo moko na moko ya minda, basala na palata mpe minda na yango ya palata kolanda mosala ya etelemiselo moko na moko ya mwinda;
He gave also gold for the golden candlesticks, and their lamps, according to the dimensions of every candlestick, and the lamps thereof. In like manner also he gave silver by weight for the silver candlesticks, and for their lamps according to the diversity of the dimensions of them.
16 kilo ya wolo mpo na mesa moko na moko ya mapa oyo ebulisami, kilo ya palata mpo na bamesa ya palata;
He gave also gold for the tables of proposition, according to the diversity of the tables: in like manner also silver for other tables of silver.
17 kilo ya wolo ya peto mpo na bakanya, basani oyo basalelaka mpo na kosopa mayi, mpe mpo na bakopo ya milayi; kilo ya wolo mpo na kopo moko na moko ya moke moko; kilo ya palata mpo na moko na moko ya bakopo mike ya palata;
For fleshhooks also, and bowls, and censers of fine gold, and for little lions of gold, according to the measure he gave by weight, for every lion. In like manner also for lions of silver he set aside a different weight of silver.
18 mpe kilo ya wolo ya peto mpo na etumbelo ya malasi. Apesaki ye lisusu elili ya shar ya basheribe ya wolo oyo mapapu na yango ezali ya kofungwama mpe ezipi Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe.
And for the altar of incense, he gave the purest gold: and to make the likeness of the chariot of the cherubims spreading their wings, and covering the ark of the covenant of the Lord.
19 Davidi alobaki: — Nyonso oyo nazali na yango na mokanda oyo, ekomami na loboko na Yawe; Ye moko apesi ngai mayele mpo na kososola misala nyonso oyo elili ezali kotalisa.
All these things, said he, came to me written by the hand of the Lord that I might understand all the works of the pattern.
20 Davidi alobaki lisusu na Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali: — Yika mpiko mpe sala mosala! Kobanga te, kozala mpe na somo te; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, azali elongo na yo; akotika yo te mpe akobwaka yo te kino mosala nyonso ya Tempelo ya Yawe ekosila.
And David said to Solomon his son: Act like a man, and take courage, and do: fear not, and be not dismayed: for the Lord my God will be with thee, and will not leave thee, nor forsake thee, till thou hast finished all the work for the service of the house of the Lord.
21 Ezali mpe na masanga ebele ya Banganga-Nzambe mpe ya Balevi oyo babongisami mpo na misala ya ndenge na ndenge kati na Tempelo ya Yawe. Na mosala oyo nyonso, okozwa lisungi ya bato oyo bayebi mosala malamu, oyo bamipesa bango moko mpo na misala ya ndenge na ndenge. Bakonzi mpe bato nyonso bakotosa mitindo na yo.
Behold the courses of the priests and the Levites, for every ministry of the house of the Lord, stand by thee, and are ready, and both the princes, and the people know how to execute all thy commandments.
