1 Bakonzi 9
1 Sima na Salomo kosilisa kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, ndako ya mokonzi mpe kosala nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa,
And it came to pass when Solomon had finished building the house of the Lord, and the king's house, and all the work of Solomon, whatever he wished to perform,
2 Yawe abimelaki Salomo na mbala ya mibale, ndenge kaka abimelaki ye na mbala ya liboso, na Gabaoni.
that the Lord appeared to Solomon a second time, as he appeared in Gabaon.
3 Yawe alobaki na ye: « Nayoki losambo mpe libondeli na yo, oyo osali liboso na Ngai; nabulisi Tempelo oyo otongi mpo ete natia Kombo na Ngai kati na yango mpo na libela. Miso mpe motema na Ngai ekobanda kozala kuna tango nyonso.
And the Lord said to him, I have heard the voice of your prayer, and your supplication which you made before me: I have done for you according to all your prayer: I have hallowed this house which you have built to put my name there for ever, and mine eyes and my heart shall be there always.
4 Mpo na yo, soki okotambola liboso na Ngai ndenge Davidi, tata na yo, atambolaki na motema malamu mpe na motema ya sembo; soki okosala nyonso oyo natindaki yo mpe okobatela mibeko mpe malako na Ngai,
And if you will walk before me as David your father walked, in holiness of heart and uprightness, and so as to do according to all that I commanded him, and shall keep my ordinances and my commandments:
5 nakolendisa mpo na libela kiti na yo ya bokonzi kati na Isalaele, ndenge nalobaki yango epai ya Davidi, tata na yo: ‹ Okotikalaka kozanga te moto oyo akokitana na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele. ›
then will I establish the throne of your kingdom in Israel for ever, as I spoke to David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to rule in Israel.
6 Kasi soki yo mpe bana na yo ya mibali bopengwi mosika na Ngai; soki botosi te mibeko mpe malako na Ngai, oyo natie liboso na bino; soki bokeyi kosalela banzambe mosusu mpe kofukamela yango,
But if you or your children do in any wise revolt from me, and do not keep my commandments and my ordinances, which Moses set before you, and you go and serve other gods, and worship them:
7 nakolongola Isalaele kati na mabele oyo napesaki ye, nakobwaka mosika ya elongi na Ngai Tempelo oyo nabulisi mpo na Kombo na Ngai, mpe Isalaele akokoma eloko ya kotiola mpe ya soni kati na bikolo nyonso.
then will I cut off Israel from the land which I have given them, and this house which I have consecrated to my name I will cast out of my sight; and Israel shall be a desolation and a byword to all nations.
8 Atako Tempelo oyo ezali sik’oyo kitoko penza, kasi bato nyonso oyo bakoleka pembeni na yango bakokamwa mpe bakoloba: ‹ Mpo na nini Yawe asali makambo ya boye na mokili oyo mpe na Tempelo oyo? ›
And this house, which is high, shall be [so that] every one that passes by it shall be amazed, and shall hiss; and they shall say, Therefore has the Lord done thus to this land, and to this house?
9 Bakoyanola: ‹ Ezali mpo ete basundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, oyo abimisaki bango na Ejipito mpe bamipesaki na banzambe mosusu, bafukamelaki mpe basalelaki yango; yango wana Yawe ayeisi likolo na bango pasi oyo nyonso. › »
And [men] shall say, Because they forsook the Lord their God, who brought out their fathers from Egypt, out of the house of bondage, and they attached themselves to strange gods, and worshipped them, and served them: therefore the Lord has brought this evil upon them. Then Solomon brought up the daughter of Pharao out of the city of David into his house which he built for himself in those days.
10 Sima na mibu tuku mibale oyo Salomo asalaki mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ndako na ye moko,
[During] twenty years in which Solomon was building the two houses, the house of the Lord, and the house of the king,
11 akabelaki Irami, mokonzi ya Tiri, bingumba tuku mibale kati na Galile, pamba te Irami asungaki Salomo na nyonso oyo azalaki na yango na bosenga: mabaya ya sedele, ya sipele mpe wolo.
Chiram king of Tyre helped Solomon with cedar wood, and fir wood, and with gold, and all that he wished for: then the king gave Chiram twenty cities in the land of Galilee.
12 Irami abimaki wuta na Tiri, mokili na ye, mpo na kotala bingumba oyo Salomo akabelaki ye, kasi asepelaki na yango te.
So Chiram departed from Tyre, and went into Galilee to see the cities which Solomon gave to him; and they pleased him not. And he said,
13 Alobaki: « Ndeko na ngai, bingumba nini oyo opesi ngai? » Yango wana abengaki bingumba yango mokili ya Kabuli, kombo oyo etikala kino lelo.
What [are] these cities which you have given me, brother? And he called them Boundary until this day.
14 Nzokande, Irami apesaki Salomo bakilo nkoto misato na nkama mitano ya wolo.
And Chiram brought to Solomon a hundred and twenty talents of gold,
15 Salomo asalisaki bana ya Isalaele misala makasi mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, ndako na ye moko, Milo, mir ya Yelusalemi, Atsori, Megido mpe Gezeri.
16 Faraon, mokonzi ya Ejipito, amataki na Gezeri, abotolaki yango na maboko ya bato ya Kanana oyo bazalaki kovanda kuna, abomaki bango, atumbaki engumba yango na moto mpe akabaki yango epai ya mwana na ye ya mwasi oyo akomaki mwasi ya Salomo.
17 Yango wana Salomo atongaki lisusu Beti-Oroni ya likolo mpe Beti-Oroni ya se,
18 Baalati mpe Tamari kati na esobe ya mokili,
19 bingumba nyonso epai wapi azalaki kobomba biloko na ye, bingumba epai wapi azalaki kobomba bashar mpe bampunda na ye. Salomo atongaki lisusu nyonso oyo azalaki na yango posa kati na Yelusalemi, kati na Libani mpe kati na mokili nyonso oyo azalaki kokamba.
20 Batikali nyonso kati na bato ya Amori, ya Iti, ya Perizi, ya Evi mpe ya Yebusi, ba-oyo bazalaki bana ya Isalaele te,
21 ba-oyo bana na bango batikalaki kati na mokili oyo bana ya Isalaele babebisaki, Salomo azwaki bango mpo na misala makasi ya bawumbu, kino na mokolo ya lelo.
22 Kasi Salomo akomisaki te bana ya Isalaele bawumbu mpo na kosala misala makasi na ye, pamba te bazalaki bato ya bitumba, bakalaka na ye ya lokumu, bakalaka na ye, bakonzi ya basoda na ye, bakonzi ya bashar na ye mpe ya basoda na ye, oyo batambolisaka bashar.
23 Tala motango ya bakalaka ya lokumu oyo batindamaki mpo na kokamba bato oyo bazalaki kosala misala ya Salomo: bakalaka nkama mitano na tuku mitano.
24 Sima na mwana mwasi ya Faraon kolongwa na engumba ya Davidi mpo na kokende na ndako oyo Salomo atongelaki ye, Salomo atongaki Milo.
25 Mbala misato kati na mobu, Salomo azalaki kobonza bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka ya boyokani na likolo ya etumbelo oyo atongaki mpo na Yawe; azalaki mpe kotumba malasi ya ansa na likolo ya etumbelo oyo ezalaki liboso ya Yawe. Ezalaki bongo nde misala ezalaki kokokisama kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
26 Mokonzi Salomo asalisaki masuwa ebele na engumba Etsioni-Geberi oyo ezali pene ya Eyiloti, pembeni ya ebale monene ya Barozo, kati na mokili ya Edomi.
even that for which king Solomon built a ship in Gasion Gaber near Aelath on the shore of the extremity of the sea in the land of Edom.
27 Irami atindaki na masuwa yango basali na ye, bato oyo bayebaki kotambolisa malamu masuwa kati na ebale monene; bazalaki elongo na basali ya Salomo.
And Chiram sent in the ship together with the servants of Solomon servants of his own, mariners to row, men acquainted with the sea.
28 Bakendeki na Ofiri epai wapi bazwaki bakilo nkoto zomi na mibale ya wolo oyo bamemaki epai ya mokonzi Salomo.
And they came to Sophira, and took thence a hundred and twenty talents of gold, and brought them to king Solomon.
