2 Masolo ya Kala 2
1 Salomo apesaki mitindo mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe mpe ndako ya mokonzi mpo na ye moko.
And Solomon said that he would build a house to the name of the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.
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.
And Solomon gathered seventy thousand men that bore burdens, and eighty thousand hewers of stone in the mountain, and [there were] three thousand six hundred superintendents over them.
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.
And Solomon sent to Chiram king of Tyre, saying, Whereas you did deal [favourably] with David my father, and did send him cedars to build for himself a house to dwell 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 also his son am building a house to the name of the Lord my God, to consecrate it to him, to burn incense before him, and [to offer] show bread continually, and to offer up whole burnt offerings continually morning and evening, and on the sabbaths, and at the new moons, and at the feasts of the Lord our God: this [is] a perpetual [statute] for Israel.
5 Tempelo oyo nakotonga ekozala monene, pamba te Nzambe na biso azali monene koleka banzambe nyonso.
And the house which I am building [is to be] great: for the Lord our God [is] great beyond 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?
And who will be able to build him a house? for the heaven and heaven of heavens do not bear his glory: and who am I, that I should build him a house, save only to burn incense 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.
And now send me a man wise and skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in purple, and in scarlet, and in blue, and one that knows how to grave together with the craftsmen who are with me in Juda and in Jerusalem, which materials my father David prepared.
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,
And send me from Libanus cedar wood, and wood of juniper, and pine; for I know that your servants are skilled in cutting timber in Libanus: and, behold, your servants shall go with my servants,
9 bakobongisela ngai mabaya ebele, pamba te Tempelo oyo nazali kotonga esengeli kozala monene mpe kitoko.
to prepare timber for me in abundance: for the house which I am building [must be] great and glorious.
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.
And, behold, I have given freely to your servants that work and cut the wood, corn for food, [even] twenty thousand measures of wheat, and twenty thousand measures of barley, and twenty thousand measures of wine, and twenty thousand measures of oil.
11 Irami, mokonzi ya Tiri, azongiselaki Salomo na mokanda: — Ezali mpo ete Yawe alingi bato na Ye nde akomisi yo mokonzi na bango.
And Chiram king of Tyre answered in writing, and sent to Solomon, saying, Because the Lord loved his people, he made you king over them.
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 Chiram said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to king David a wise son, and one endowed with knowledge and understanding, who shall build a house for the Lord, and a house for his kingdom.
13 Nazali kotindela yo sik’oyo Urami-Abi; azali penza moto moko ya mayele oyo ayebi mosala malamu.
And now I have sent you a wise and understanding man [who belonged] to Chiram my father
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.
(his mother [was] of the daughters of Dan, and his father [was] a Tyrian), skilled to work in gold, and in silver, and in brass, and in iron, and in stones and wood; and to weave with purple, and blue, and fine linen, and scarlet; and to engrave, and to understand every device, whatever you shall give him [to do] with your craftsmen, and the craftsmen of my lord David your father.
15 Sik’oyo, tika ete nkolo na ngai atinda epai ya basali na ye ble, orje, mafuta mpe masanga ya vino oyo alakaki.
And now, the wheat, and the barley, and the oil, and the wine which my lord mentioned, let him send to his servants.
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.
And we will cut timber out of Libanus according to all your need, and we will bring it on rafts to the sea of Joppa, and you shall bring it 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.
And Solomon gathered all the foreigners that were in the land of Israel, after the numbering with which David his father numbered them; and there were found a hundred and fifty-three thousand six hundred.
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.
And he made of them seventy thousand burden-bearers, and eighty thousand hewers of stone, and three thousand six hundred taskmasters over the people.
