2 Masolo ya Kala 2
1 Salomo apesaki mitindo mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ndako ya mokonzi mpo na ye moko.
Now Solomon purposed to build a house for the Name of the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
2 Salomo asangisaki bato nkoto tuku sambo mpo na komema biloko ya kotongela, bato nkoto tuku mwambe mpo na kobuka mabanga na bangomba, mpe bato nkoto misato na nkama motoba mpo na kokengela bango.
So he conscripted 70,000 porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
3 Salomo atindaki maloba oyo epai ya Irami, mokonzi ya Tiri: — Sala na ngai ndenge osalaki mpo na Davidi, tata na ngai, tango otindelaki ye mabaya ya nzete ya sedele mpo na kotonga ndako na ye ya kovanda.
Then Solomon sent word to Hiram king of Tyre: “Do for me as you did for my father David when you sent him cedars to build himself a house to live in.
4 Nzokande, ngai nalingi sik’oyo kotonga Tempelo mpo na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, mpo na kobulisa yango mpo na lokumu na Ye, mpo na kobonzela Ye malasi ya solo kitoko lokola mbeka, mpo na kobongisaka kuna mapa tango nyonso, mpo na kobonzaka kuna bambeka ya kotumba, tongo mpe pokwa, mpe mpo na kosepelaka kuna mikolo ya Saba, ya ebandeli ya sanza mpe ya bafeti oyo ekatama, ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, ndenge ezali malako ya tango nyonso mpo na Isalaele.
Behold, I am about to build a house for the Name of the LORD my God to dedicate to Him for burning fragrant incense before Him, for displaying the showbread continuously, and for making burnt offerings every morning and evening as well as on the Sabbaths, New Moons, and appointed feasts of the LORD our God. This is ordained for Israel forever.
5 Tempelo oyo nakotonga ekozala monene, pamba te Nzambe na biso azali monene koleka banzambe nyonso.
The house that I am building will be great, for our God is greater than all gods.
6 Kasi nani akoki kotongela Ye Tempelo, pamba te Likolo mpe Likolo oyo eleki likolo ekoki kokoka Ye te? Mpe ngai nde nani mpo ete natongela Ye Tempelo, soki kaka etumbelo te mpo na kotumba mbeka ya malasi liboso na Ye?
But who is able to build a house for Him, since the heavens, even the highest heavens, cannot contain Him? Who then am I, that I should build a house for Him, except as a place to burn sacrifices before Him?
7 Boye, tindela ngai moto oyo ayebi kosalela wolo, palata, bronze, ebende, langi ya motane ya pete, langi ya motane ya makasi mpe langi ya ble, mpe ayebi kotobola bililingi, mpo ete asala mosala, kati na Yuda mpe Yelusalemi, elongo na basali na ngai, oyo bayebi penza mosala, ba-oyo Davidi, tata na ngai, abongisaki.
Send me, therefore, a craftsman skilled in engraving to work with gold and silver, with bronze and iron, and with purple, crimson, and blue yarn. He will work with my craftsmen in Judah and Jerusalem, whom my father David provided.
8 Tindela ngai mpe, wuta na Libani, mabaya ya nzete ya sedele, ya sipele mpe ya santale, pamba te nayebi ete bato na yo bayebi malamu kokata banzete ya Libani. Bato na ngai bakosala elongo na basali na yo,
Send me also cedar, cypress, and algum logs from Lebanon, for I know that your servants have skill to cut timber there. And indeed, my servants will work with yours
9 bakobongisela ngai mabaya ebele, pamba te Tempelo oyo nazali kotonga esengeli kozala monene mpe kitoko.
to prepare for me timber in abundance, because the temple I am building will be great and wonderful.
10 Nakopesa na basali na yo, oyo bakokata banzete batone nkoto motoba ya ble, batone nkoto minei ya orje, balitele ya vino nkoto nkama libwa, balitele ya mafuta nkoto nkama libwa.
I will pay your servants, the woodcutters, 20,000 cors of ground wheat, 20,000 cors of barley, 20,000 baths of wine, and 20,000 baths of olive oil.”
11 Irami, mokonzi ya Tiri, azongiselaki Salomo na mokanda: — Ezali mpo ete Yawe alingi bato na Ye nde akomisi yo mokonzi na bango.
Then Hiram king of Tyre wrote a letter in reply to Solomon: “Because the LORD loves His people, He has set you over them as king.”
12 Irami alobaki na ye lisusu: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, Mokeli ya likolo mpe se, apambolama, mpo ete apesi na mokonzi Davidi mwana mobali ya mayele mpe ya bososoli, oyo akotonga Tempelo mpo na Yawe mpe ndako ya mokonzi mpo na ye moko.
And Hiram added: “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made the heavens and the earth! He has given King David a wise son with insight and understanding, who will build a temple for the LORD and a royal palace for himself.
13 Nazali kotindela yo sik’oyo Urami-Abi; azali penza moto moko ya mayele oyo ayebi mosala malamu.
So now I am sending you Huram-abi, a skillful man endowed with creativity.
14 Mama na ye azalaki moto ya libota ya Dani, mpe tata na ye, moto ya Tiri. Abongisama mpo na misala ya wolo, ya palata, ya bronze, ya ebende, ya mabanga, ya mabaya, ya kotia langi ya motane makasi, ya ble, ya motane ya pete mpe ya kobongisa lino ya pete. Ayebi malamu mosala ya kotobola bililingi, mpe akoki kosala mosala nyonso oyo bakosenga ye. Akosala elongo na basali na yo mpe na basali ya nkolo na ngai, Davidi, tata na yo.
He is the son of a woman from the daughters of Dan, and his father is a man of Tyre. He is skilled in work with gold and silver, bronze and iron, stone and wood, purple, blue, and crimson yarn, and fine linen. He is experienced in every kind of engraving and can execute any design that is given him. He will work with your craftsmen and with those of my lord, your father David.
15 Sik’oyo, tika ete nkolo na ngai atinda epai ya basali na ye ble, orje, mafuta mpe masanga ya vino oyo alakaki.
Now let my lord send to his servants the wheat, barley, olive oil, and wine he promised.
16 Biso, tokokata banzete nyonso ya Libani, oyo ozali na yango posa; tokokangisa mpe tokotinda yango na nzela ya mayi ya ebale monene kino na Jafa. Wuta kuna, yo okokomisa yango na Yelusalemi.
We will cut logs from Lebanon, as many as you need, and we will float them to you as rafts by sea down to Joppa. Then you can take them up to Jerusalem.”
17 Salomo atangaki motango ya bapaya nyonso oyo bazalaki kati na Isalaele kolanda ndenge Davidi, tata na ye, atangaki motango ya bato. Bazalaki bato nkoto nkama moko na tuku mitano na misato na nkama motoba.
Solomon numbered all the foreign men in the land of Israel following the census his father David had conducted, and there were found to be 153,600 in all.
18 Aponaki bato nkoto tuku sambo mpo na komema biloko, bato nkoto tuku mwambe mpo na kobuka mabanga na bangomba, mpe bakengeli nkoto misato na nkama motoba mpo na kosalisa bato misala.
Solomon made 70,000 of them porters, 80,000 stonecutters in the mountains, and 3,600 supervisors.
