1 Masolo ya Kala 29
1 Mokonzi Davidi alobaki na lisanga mobimba: — Salomo, mwana na ngai ya mobali, moko kaka oyo Nzambe aponi, azali nanu elenge mpe ayebi penza makambo malamu te. Nzokande, mosala ezali monene, pamba te Ndako oyo ezali mpo na moto te kasi mpo na Yawe Nzambe.
Then said David the king unto all the convocation, Solomon my son, the one, of whom God hath made choice, is young and tender, —and, the work, is great, seeing that, not for man, is the palace, but for Yahweh Elohim.
2 Na bozwi na ngai nyonso, nabongisaki mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai: wolo mpo na misala ya wolo, palata mpo na misala ya palata, ebende mpo na misala ya bibende, mabaya mpo na misala ya mabaya, mabanga ya onikisi mpe mabanga ya kobamba, mabanga oyo engengaka mpe ya balangi ebele, mabanga ya talo ya lolenge nyonso mpe mabanga ya marbre. Biloko oyo nyonso ezalaki penza ebele.
And, with all my might, have I made preparation for the house of my God, the gold for the gold, and the silver for the silver, and the bronze for the bronze, the iron for the iron, and the wood for the wood, —and beryl stones and settings, stones coloured and particoloured, and all manner of precious stones and stones of white marble, in abundance.
3 Mpe lisusu, na tina na bolingo na ngai mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai, napesi sik’oyo wuta na bozwi na ngai moko: wolo mpe palata mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe na ngai likolo ya nyonso oyo nabongisaki mpo na Ndako oyo ya bule:
And yet further, because of my delighting in the house of my God, having a treasure of mine own in gold and silver, I have given for the house of my God, above and beyond all that I have prepared for the holy house:
4 kilo nkoto nkama moko ya wolo ya peto ya Ofiri, kilo nkoto nkama mibale na tuku mitano ya palata ya peto mpo na kolatisa bamir ya Ndako.
three thousand talents of gold, of the gold of Ophir, —and seven thousand talents of refined silver, for overlaying the walls of the recesses.
5 Wolo mpe palata yango ebongisami mpo na misala ya wolo mpe ya palata, mpe mpo na misala nyonso oyo bato ya misala ya maboko basengeli kosala. Sik’oyo, nani alingi kopesa na esengo mpe na motema moko epai na Yawe?
Of gold for the gold, and of silver for the silver, and for all manner of work in the hand of artificers, —Who then is ready to offer willingly, by filling his hand to-day, unto Yahweh?
6 Boye, bakambi ya mabota, bakonzi ya mabota ya Isalaele, bakonzi ya bankoto mpe ya bankama mpe bakambi ya misala ya mokonzi bapesaki makabo wuta na mitema na bango moko.
Then offered they willingly—the ancestral rulers and the rulers of the tribes of Israel, and the rulers of thousands and hundreds, even to the rulers of the work of the king;
7 Mbala moko, bapesaki mpo na mosala ya Ndako ya Nzambe: bakilo nkama tuku sambo ya wolo, biloko ya wolo nkoto zomi, bakilo koleka minkoko nkama misato ya palata, bakilo nkoto nkama motoba ya bronze, mpe bakilo koleka minkoko misato ya bibende.
and gave for the service of the house of God, of gold, five thousand talents and ten thousand drams, and, of silver, ten thousand talents, and, of bronze, eighteen thousand talents, —and, of iron, one hundred thousand talents.
8 Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na mabanga ya talo bapesaki yango na ebombelo ya bozwi ya Tempelo ya Yawe epai ya Yeyeli, moto ya libota ya Gerishoni.
And, every one with whom were found precious stones, gave to the treasure of the house of Yahweh, —unto the hand of Jehiel the Gershonite.
9 Bato basepelaki mingi na makabo oyo bango moko bapesaki wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango, pamba te bazalaki kopesa yango epai ya Yawe, na motema mobimba. Mokonzi Davidi mpe asepelaki na yango mingi.
So the people rejoiced because they willingly offered, for, with a perfect heart, offered they willingly unto Yahweh, —moreover also, David the king, rejoiced with great joy.
10 Davidi akumisaki Yawe liboso ya lisanga mobimba na maloba oyo: « Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, tata na biso, tika ete ozwa lokumu mpo na libela!
Therefore did David bless Yahweh in the eyes of all the convocation, —and David said, Blessed art thou, O Yahweh, the God of Israel our father, from age even unto age.
11 Oh Yawe, monene, nguya, kongenga, nkembo mpe bokonzi ezali ya Yo; pamba te biloko nyonso oyo ezali na likolo mpe na se ezali ya Yo. Yawe, bokonzi ezali ya Yo, osalaka nyonso oyo olingi na ekelamu nyonso.
Thine, O Yahweh, are Greatness, and Might, and Beauty, and Victory, and Majesty, nay! all in the heavens and in the earth, —thine, O Yahweh, is the kingdom, who art exalted above all, —as chief;
12 Bozwi mpe lokumu ewutaka epai na Yo; ozali na bokonzi likolo na nyonso, makasi mpe nguya ezali na maboko na Yo mpo na kotombola mpe kopesa makasi na moto nyonso.
and, riches and honour, are from before thee, and, thou, art ruling over all, and, in thy hand, are power and might, —and, in thy hand, it is, to give greatness and strength unto any.
13 Nzambe na biso, tozali sik’oyo kosanzola Yo mpe kokumisa Kombo na Yo.
Now, therefore, O our God, we are giving thanks unto thee, —and offering praise, unto thy beautiful Name.
14 Nazali nani, mpe bato na ngai bazali banani, mpo ete tozwa makoki ya kopesa makabo oyo, wuta na mokano ya mitema na biso moko? Nyonso ewutaka epai na Yo, mpe topesi Yo kaka oyo ewuti na loboko na Yo.
And yet, who am, I, and who are my people, that we should be able to offer willingly like this? for, from thee, is the whole, and, out of thine own hand, have we given unto thee;
15 Liboso na Yo, tozali bapaya mpe baleki nzela, ndenge ezalaki batata na biso. Mikolo na biso awa na mokili ezali koleka lokola elili oyo ezangi elikya.
for, sojourners, are we before thee, and strangers, like all our fathers, —like a shadow, are our days upon the earth, and there is no hope.
16 Oh Yawe, Nzambe na biso, bomengo nyonso oyo tobongisi mpo na kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo ya Bule ewuti na loboko na Yo mpe ezali ya Yo.
O Yahweh our God, all this abundance which we have prepared, to build thee a house for thy holy Name, out of thine own hand, it is, and, thine, is the whole.
17 Oh Nzambe na ngai, nayebi ete oyebi bozindo ya mitema na biso, osepelaka na bosembo. Napesi nyonso oyo wuta na mokano ya motema na ngai moko mpe na makanisi ya lokuta te. Sik’oyo, namoni ndenge nini bato na Yo, oyo bazali awa, bapesi Yo makabo oyo na motema malamu.
But I know, O my God, that, thou, art proving the heart, and, with uprightness, wilt thou be pleased, —I, in the uprightness of my heart, have willingly offered all these things, now, therefore, thy people who are found here, have I seen with joy, offering willingly unto thee.
18 Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Abrayami, Izaki mpe Isalaele, batata na biso, batela makanisi oyo kati na mitema ya bato na Yo mpo na libela mpe sala ete mitema na bango ekangama na Yo.
O Yahweh, God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, our fathers, oh guard this age-abidingly, as the devised purpose of the heart of thy people, —and establish thou their heart, unto thyself.
19 Pesa na mwana na ngai ya mobali, Salomo, motema ya boyengebene mpo na kobatela mitindo na Yo, malako na Yo mpe bikateli na Yo; mpo na kosala nyonso mpe kotonga Ndako oyo nasaleli mabongisi oyo nyonso. »
Also, unto Solomon my son, give thou an undivided heart, to keep thy commandments, thy testimonies, and thy statutes, —to do the whole, and to build the palace for which I have prepared.
20 Davidi alobaki na bato nyonso: — Bopambola Yawe, Nzambe na bino! Boye, bato nyonso bakumisaki Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango, bagumbamaki mpe bafukamaki liboso ya Yawe mpe ya mokonzi.
Then said David, unto all the convocation, Bless, I beseech you, Yahweh your God. So all the convocation blessed Yahweh, the God of their fathers, and did bend their heads and bow themselves down unto Yahweh, and unto the king;
21 Mokolo oyo elandaki, babonzaki bambeka mpe bambeka ya kotumba epai na Yawe: bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme ya mibali nkoto moko mpe bana meme nkoto moko elongo na makabo ya masanga ya vino mpe makabo mosusu ebele, mpo na Isalaele mobimba.
and sacrificed unto Yahweh sacrifices, and caused to go up ascending-offerings unto Yahweh, on the morrow of that day, a thousand bullocks, a thousand rams, a thousand young sheep, and the drink-offerings thereof, —and sacrifices in abundance, for all Israel.
22 Baliaki mpe bamelaki liboso ya Yawe na esengo na mokolo wana, mpe batatolaki mpo na mbala ya mibale ete Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, azali mokonzi. Bapakolaki ye mafuta mpo ete azala mokonzi; mpe Tsadoki, mpo ete azala Nganga-Nzambe.
And so they did eat and drink before Yahweh on that day, with great joy, —and they, the second time, made Solomon son of David king, and anointed him unto Yahweh to be chief ruler, and Zadok to be priest.
23 Salomo avandaki na Kiti ya Bokonzi ya Yawe lokola mokonzi na esika ya Davidi, tata na ye. Apambolamaki mpe Isalaele mobimba etosaki ye.
So Solomon took his seat upon the throne of Yahweh, as king, instead of David his father, and prospered, —and all Israel, hearkened unto him.
24 Bakonzi nyonso, basoda ya mpiko mpe bana nyonso ya mibali ya mokonzi Davidi batosaki mokonzi Salomo.
And, all the rulers, and the heroes, yea moreover all the sons of King David, gave a hand, under Solomon the king.
25 Yawe atombolaki Salomo makasi liboso ya Isalaele mobimba, mpe apesaki ye lokumu ya bokonzi koleka bakonzi nyonso ya Isalaele oyo balekaki liboso na ye.
And Yahweh magnified Solomon, exceedingly, before the eyes of all Israel, —and gave unto him a royal majesty, that had not been on any king before him, over Israel.
26 Davidi, mwana mobali ya Izayi, azalaki mokonzi ya Isalaele mobimba.
Thus, David son of Jesse, reigned over all Israel;
27 Davidi akonzaki Isalaele mibu tuku minei: mibu sambo na Ebron mpe mibu tuku misato na misato na Yelusalemi.
and, the days that he reigned over Israel, were forty years, —in Hebron reigned he seven years, and in Jerusalem, reigned he, thirty-three.
28 Akufaki na kimobange ya esengo. Atondisamaki na mibu ebele, na bozwi mpe na lokumu; bongo Salomo, mwana na ye ya mobali, akitanaki na ye na bokonzi.
And he died in a good old age, satisfied with days, riches and honour, —and Solomon his son reigned in his stead.
29 Makambo mosusu oyo etali bokonzi ya Davidi, wuta na ebandeli kino na suka, ekomama kati na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Samuele, na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Natan mpe na buku ya misala ya mosakoli Gadi.
Now, the acts of David the king, first and last, behold them! written in the records of Samuel the seer, and in the records of Nathan the prophet, and in the records of Gad the seer:
30 Kati na babuku ya misala yango, balobelaki mpe makambo nyonso ya bokonzi mpe ya makasi na ye, makambo nyonso oyo ekomelaki ye, Isalaele mpe mikili nyonso ya zingazinga.
with all his reign, and his might, —and the times which passed over him, and over Israel, and over all the kingdoms of the lands.
