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 decided to build a house for the LORD’s name, 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.
Solomon counted out seventy thousand men to bear burdens, eighty thousand men who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred to oversee 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.
Solomon sent to Huram the king of Tyre, saying, “As you dealt with David my father, and sent him cedars to build him a house in which to dwell, so deal with me.
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 it to him, to burn before him incense of sweet spices, for the continual show bread, and for the burnt offerings morning and evening, on the Sabbaths, on the new moons, and on the set feasts of the LORD our God. This is an ordinance forever to Israel.
5 Tempelo oyo nakotonga ekozala monene, pamba te Nzambe na biso azali monene koleka banzambe nyonso.
“The house which 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 him a house, since heaven and the heaven of heavens can’t contain him? Who am I then, that I should build him a house, except just 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.
“Now therefore send me a man skillful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, and in purple, crimson, and blue, and who knows how to engrave engravings, to be with the skillful men who are with me in Judah and in Jerusalem, whom David my father 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 trees, cypress trees, and algum trees out of Lebanon, for I know that your servants know how to cut timber in Lebanon. Behold, my servants will be with your servants,
9 bakobongisela ngai mabaya ebele, pamba te Tempelo oyo nazali kotonga esengeli kozala monene mpe kitoko.
even to prepare me timber in abundance; for the house which I am about to build 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.
Behold, I will give to your servants, the cutters who cut timber, twenty thousand cors of beaten wheat, twenty thousand baths of barley, twenty thousand baths of wine, and twenty thousand baths 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.
Then Huram the king of Tyre answered in writing, which he sent to Solomon, “Because the LORD loves his people, he has 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.
Huram continued, “Blessed be the LORD, the God of Israel, who made heaven and earth, who has given to David the king a wise son, endowed with discretion and understanding, who would 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.
Now I have sent a skillful man, endowed with understanding, Huram-abi,
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.
the son of a woman of the daughters of Dan; and his father was a man of Tyre. He is skillful to work in gold, in silver, in bronze, in iron, in stone, in timber, in purple, in blue, in fine linen, and in crimson, also to engrave any kind of engraving and to devise any device, that there may be a place appointed to him with your skillful men, and with the skillful men 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.
“Now therefore, the wheat, the barley, the oil, and the wine which my lord has spoken of, 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 wood out of Lebanon, as much as you need. We will bring it to you in rafts by sea to Joppa; then you shall carry it 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 counted all the foreigners who were in Eretz-Israel, after the census with which David his father had counted them; and they found one hundred 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.
He set seventy thousand of them to bear burdens, eighty thousand who were stone cutters in the mountains, and three thousand six hundred overseers to assign the people their work.
