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 princes of Israel, the princes of the tribes, and the captains of the divisions that ministered to the king, and the captains of the thousands, and the captains of the hundreds, and the rulers of all the property and the cattle of the king and of his sons, with the court-servants, and the mighty men, and with all the valiant men of the army, unto 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.
Then arose king David upon his feet, and said, Hear me, my brethren, and my people! I had in my heart to build a house of rest for the ark of the covenant of the Lord, and for the footstool of our God, and I had made preparations to build;
3 Kasi Nzambe alobaki na ngai: « Okotonga ndako mpo na Kombo na Ngai te, pamba te ozali moto ya bitumba mpe osopaki makila. »
But God said unto me, Thou shalt not build a house unto my name; because thou art a man of war, and blood hast thou shed.
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.
Yet the Lord the God of Israel made choice of me out of all the house of my father to be king over Israel for ever; for of Judah had he made choice as ruler, and among the house of Judah, of the house of my father; and among the sons of my father had he pleasure in me to make [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 of all my sons, —for the Lord hath given me many sons, — hath he made choice of 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 hath said unto me, Solomon thy son it is that shall build my house and my courts; for I have made choice of him to be as a son unto me, and I will be indeed to him as a father.
7 Nakolendisa bokonzi na ye mpo na libela soki akangami makasi na mibeko na Ngai ndenge azali kosala yango lelo. »
Moreover, I will firmly establish his kingdom for everlasting, if he be strong to execute my commandments and my ordinances as it is 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.
And now before the eyes of all Israel, the congregation of the Lord, and in the hearing of our God, [I admonish you] observe and seek for all the commandments of the Lord your God: in order that ye may keep possession of this good land, and leave it for an inheritance unto your children after you forever.
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, Solomon my son, know thou the God of thy father, and serve him with an entire heart and with a willing soul; for all hearts doth the Lord search, and every imagination of the thoughts doth he understand; if thou seek him, he will let himself be found by thee; 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.
See now that the Lord hath made choice of thee to build a house for the sanctuary: be strong 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.
Then gave David to Solomon his son the pattern of the porch, and of its apartments, and of its treasuries, and of upper chambers, and of its inner chambers, and of the place of the cover of the ark.
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.
And the pattern of all that he had in his spirit, concerning the courts of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the chambers round about, concerning the treasuries of the house of God, and concerning the treasuries of the holy 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.
Also concerning the divisions of the priests and the Levites, and concerning all the work of the service of the house of the Lord, and concerning all the vessels of service of the house 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:
Concerning the golden vessels, after the weight of the gold, for all the vessels of all manner of service; concerning all the vessels of silver after the weight, for all the vessels of every kind of service;
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;
Also the weight for the candlesticks of gold, and for their lamps of gold, after the weight for every candlestick, and for its lamps; and concerning the candlesticks of silver after the weight, for the candlestick, and for its lamps, according to the use of every candlestick;
16 kilo ya wolo mpo na mesa moko na moko ya mapa oyo ebulisami, kilo ya palata mpo na bamesa ya palata;
And the gold after the weight for the tables of the rows of shewbread, for every table; and the silver for the 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;
Also [concerning] the forks, and the bowls, and the supporters of pure gold; and concerning the golden cups after the weight for every cup; and concerning the silver cups after the weight for every cup;
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 concerning the altar of incense the refined gold after the weight; and concerning the pattern of the chariot of the golden cherubim, which spread out [their wings], and over 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 [this, said David, ] was put in writing from the hand of the Lord, who gave me instruction [respecting] 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, Be strong, and of good courage, and do [the work]; fear not, and be not dismayed; for the Lord God, [yea, ] my God is with thee: he will not fail thee, nor forsake thee, until thou have 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.
And, behold, the divisions of the priests and the Levites are there for all the service of the house of God; and with thee are in all manner of workmanship all kinds of men distinguished in wisdom, for every manner of service; and the princes and all the people are ready [to obey] all thy words.
