2 Masolo ya Kala 29
1 Ezekiasi azalaki na mibu tuku mibale na mitano ya mbotama tango akomaki mokonzi, mpe akonzaki mibu tuku mibale na libwa na Yelusalemi. Kombo ya mama na ye ezalaki « Abiya. » Abiya azalaki mwana mwasi ya Zakari.
Hezekiah [was] a son of twenty-five years [when] he has reigned, and he has reigned twenty-nine years in Jerusalem, and the name of his mother [is] Abijah daughter of Zechariah;
2 Ezekiasi asalaki makambo ya sembo na miso ya Yawe ndenge Davidi, koko na ye, asalaki.
and he does that which is right in the eyes of YHWH, according to all that his father David did.
3 Na sanza ya liboso ya mobu ya liboso ya bokonzi na ye, afungolaki bikuke ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe abongisaki yango.
He, in the first year of his reign, in the first month, has opened the doors of the house of YHWH, and strengthens them,
4 Abengisaki Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, asangisaki bango na libanda ya ngambo ya este.
and brings in the priests and the Levites, and gathers them to the broad place to the east.
5 Alobaki na bango: — Boyoka ngai, Balevi! Bomibulisa sik’oyo mpe bopetola Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bino; bolongola mbindo nyonso kati na Esika ya bule.
And he says to them, “Hear me, O Levites, now sanctify yourselves, and sanctify the house of YHWH, God of your fathers, and bring out the impurity from the holy place,
6 Batata na biso bazangaki boyengebene, basalaki makambo mabe na miso ya Yawe, Nzambe na biso, mpe basundolaki Ye; batikaki Tempelo ya Yawe mpe bapesaki Ye mokongo.
for our fathers have trespassed, and done that which is evil in the eyes of our God YHWH, and forsake him, and turn around their faces from the Dwelling Place of YHWH, and give the neck.
7 Bakangaki kutu bikuke ya ndako moke ya kokotela, babomaki minda mpe batikaki kobonzela Nzambe ya Isalaele malasi mpe bambeka ya kotumba kati na Esika ya bule.
They have also shut the doors of the porch, and quench the lamps, and they have not made incense, and have not caused burnt-offering to ascend in the holy place to the God of Israel,
8 Boye, kanda ya Yawe ekweyelaki Yuda mpe Yelusalemi, akomisaki bango eloko ya kobanga, ya somo mpe ya kotiola, ndenge bokoki komona yango na miso na bino.
and the wrath of YHWH is on Judah and Jerusalem, and He gives them for a trembling, for an astonishment, and for a hissing, as you are seeing with your eyes.
9 Yango wana batata na biso bakweyaki na mopanga; mpe yango wana lisusu bana na biso ya mibali, bana na biso ya basi mpe basi na biso bazali kati na bowumbu.
And behold, our fathers have fallen by the sword, and our sons, and our daughters, and our wives [are] in captivity for this.
10 Sik’oyo, nazwi mokano ya kosala boyokani elongo na Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, mpo ete abwaka kanda makasi na Ye mosika na biso.
Now [it is] with my heart to make a covenant before YHWH, God of Israel, and the fierceness of His anger turns back from us.
11 Sik’oyo, bana na ngai ya mibali, bobenda nzoto te, pamba te Yawe aponi bino mpo ete botelema liboso na Ye, bosala mosala na Ye, bosala losambo mpe botumbela Ye mbeka ya malasi mpo na lokumu na Ye.
My sons, do not be at rest now, for YHWH has fixed on you to stand before Him, to serve Him, and to be ministering and making incense to Him.”
12 Bongo, Balevi oyo bakotaki na mosala: Na molongo ya bato ya Keati: Maati, mwana mobali ya Amasayi; mpe Joeli, mwana mobali ya Azaria; na molongo ya Merari: Kishi, mwana mobali ya Abidi, mpe Azaria, mwana mobali ya Yealeyeli; na molongo ya bato ya Gerishoni: Yoa, mwana mobali ya Zima; mpe Edeni, mwana mobali ya Yoa;
And the Levites rise—Mahath son of Amasai, and Joel son of Azariah, of the sons of the Kohathite; and of the sons of Merari: Kish son of Abdi, and Azariah son of Jehalelel; and of the Gershonite: Joah son of Zimmah, and Eden son of Joah;
13 na molongo ya Elitsafani: Shimiri mpe Yeyeli; na molongo ya Azafi: Zakari mpe Matania;
and of the sons of Elizaphan: Shimri and Jeiel; and of the sons of Asaph: Zechariah and Mattaniah;
14 na molongo ya Emani: Yeyeli mpe Shimei; mpe na molongo ya Yedutuni: Shemaya mpe Uzieli.
and of the sons of Heman: Jehiel and Shimei; and of the sons of Jeduthun: Shemaiah and Uzziel—
15 Tango basangisaki bandeko na bango mpe bamibulisaki, bakotaki mpo na kopetola Tempelo ya Yawe, ndenge mokonzi apesaki mitindo mpe kolanda Liloba na Yawe.
and they gather their brothers, and sanctify themselves, and come in, according to the command of the king in the matters of YHWH, to cleanse the house of YHWH,
16 Banganga-Nzambe bakotaki kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpo na kopetola yango: babwakaki kati na lopango ya Tempelo ya Yawe biloko nyonso ya mbindo oyo bamonaki kati na yango. Balevi balokotaki mpe bamemaki yango kino na lubwaku ya Sedron.
and the priests come into the inner part of the house of YHWH to cleanse [it], and bring out all the uncleanness that they have found in the temple of YHWH to the court of the house of YHWH, and the Levites receive [it], to take [it] out to the Brook of Kidron outside.
17 Babandaki mosala yango ya kopetola na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya liboso mpe, na mokolo ya mwambe ya sanza yango, bakomaki na ndako moke ya kokotela na Tempelo. Basalaki lisusu mikolo mwambe mpo na kokoba kobulisa Tempelo ya Yawe mpe basukisaki mosala yango na mokolo ya zomi na motoba ya sanza ya liboso.
And they begin to sanctify on the first of the first month, and on the eighth day of the month they have come to the porch of YHWH, and they sanctify the house of YHWH in eight days, and on the sixteenth day of the first month they have finished.
18 Bakendeki epai ya mokonzi Ezekiasi mpe balobaki: — Topetoli Tempelo mobimba ya Yawe, etumbelo ya bambeka ya kotumba elongo na bisalelo na yango nyonso, mpe mesa oyo batiaka mapa elongo na bisalelo na yango nyonso.
And they come in to Hezekiah the king within, and say, “We have cleansed all the house of YHWH, and the altar of the burnt-offering, and all its vessels, and the table of the arrangement, and all its vessels,
19 Tobongisi mpe tobulisi bisalelo nyonso oyo mokonzi Akazi, na kozanga boyengebene na ye na miso ya Yawe, abebisaki bosantu na yango tango azalaki mokonzi. Bisalelo yango ekomi sik’oyo liboso ya etumbelo.
and all the vessels that King Ahaz cast away in his reign—in his trespass—we have prepared and sanctified, and behold, they [are] before the altar of YHWH.”
20 Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, mokonzi Ezekiasi asangisaki bakambi ya engumba mpe bakendeki na Tempelo ya Yawe.
And Hezekiah the king rises early, and gathers the heads of the city, and goes up to the house of YHWH;
21 Bamemaki bangombe sambo ya mibali, bameme sambo ya mibali, bana meme sambo ya mibali mpe bantaba sambo ya mibali lokola mbeka mpo na masumu, mpo na mokili, mpo na Esika ya bule mpe mpo na Yuda. Mokonzi apesaki mitindo epai ya Banganga-Nzambe, bakitani ya Aron, ete babonza bambeka yango na etumbelo ya Yawe.
and they bring in seven bullocks, and seven rams, and seven lambs, and seven young male goats, for a sin-offering for the kingdom, and for the sanctuary, and for Judah; and he commands to sons of Aaron, the priests, to cause [them] to ascend on the altar of YHWH.
22 Banganga-Nzambe bakataki bakingo ya bangombe, bazwaki makila na yango mpe babwakaki yango na etumbelo, bakataki bakingo ya bameme ya mibali mpe babwakaki makila na yango na etumbelo, bakataki bakingo ya bana meme mpe babwakaki makila na yango na etumbelo.
And they slaughter the oxen, and the priests receive the blood, and sprinkle on the altar; and they slaughter the rams, and sprinkle the blood on the altar; and they slaughter the lambs, and sprinkle the blood on the altar;
23 Bongo bamemaki bantaba ya mibali oyo ebongisamaki mpo na mbeka mpo na masumu, liboso ya mokonzi mpe lisanga, mpe batiaki yango maboko.
and they bring the male goats of the sin-offering near before the king and the assembly, and they lay their hands on them;
24 Banganga-Nzambe bakataki bakingo ya bantaba mpe babwakaki makila na yango na etumbelo lokola mbeka mpo na masumu, mpe mpo na kokokisa mosala ya bolimbisi masumu ya Isalaele mobimba; pamba te mokonzi apesaki mitindo ete babonza mpo na Isalaele mobimba bambeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mpo na masumu.
and the priests slaughter them, and make a sin-offering with their blood on the altar, to make atonement for all Israel, that “For all Israel,” said the king, “[is] the burnt-offering and the sin-offering.”
25 Mokonzi atiaki Balevi kati na Tempelo ya Yawe elongo na bangongi, makembe mpe mandanda kolanda mitindo ya Davidi, ya Gadi, momoni makambo ya mokonzi; mpe ya mosakoli Natan; pamba te ezalaki mitindo oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya basakoli na Ye.
And he appoints the Levites in the house of YHWH with cymbals, with psalteries, and with harps, by the command of David, and of Gad, seer of the king, and of Nathan the prophet, for the command [is] by the hand of YHWH, by the hand of His prophets;
26 Balevi babongamaki elongo na bibetelo mindule ya Davidi, mpe Banganga-Nzambe elongo na bakelelo na bango.
and the Levites stand with the instruments of David, and the priests with the trumpets.
27 Ezekiasi apesaki mitindo ete babonza mbeka ya kotumba na etumbelo; mpe tango babandaki kobonza mbeka ya kotumba, babandaki mpe koyemba mpo na kokumisa Yawe na bakelelo mpe bibetelo mindule ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
And Hezekiah commands to cause the burnt-offering to ascend on the altar; and at the time the burnt-offering began, the song of YHWH began, and the trumpets, and with [the] hands of [the] instruments of David king of Israel.
28 Lisanga mobimba egumbamaki wana; bayembi bazalaki koyemba, mpe babeti kelelo bazalaki kobeta yango; nyonso ekobaki kino tango basilisaki kobonza mbeka ya kotumba.
And all the assembly are worshiping, and the singers singing, and the trumpeters blowing; the whole [is] until the completion of the burnt-offering.
29 Tango basilisaki kobonza mbeka ya kotumba, mokonzi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bakitisaki bilongi na bango mpe bagumbamaki kino na se.
And at the completion of the offering up, the king and all those found with him have bowed, and pay respect.
30 Mokonzi Ezekiasi elongo na bakambi na ye bapesaki mitindo na Balevi ete bakumisa Yawe na banzembo ya Davidi mpe ya mosakoli Azafi. Boye, bayembaki banzembo ya kokumisa na esengo, bagumbaki mito na bango mpe bagumbamaki kino na se.
And Hezekiah the king commands—and the princes—to the Levites [to cause them] to give praise to YHWH in the words of David, and of Asaph the seer, and they praise—to joy, and they bow, and pay respect.
31 Ezekiasi alobaki: — Awa bomibulisi sik’oyo mpo na Yawe, bopusana, bomema na Tempelo ya Yawe bambeka mpe makabo ya kozongisa matondi. Lisanga ememaki bambeka mpe makabo ya kozongisa matondi, mpe bato ya motema ya kokaba bamemaki bambeka ya kotumba.
And Hezekiah answers and says, “Now you have filled your hand for YHWH, come near, and bring in sacrifices and thank-offerings to the house of YHWH”; and the assembly brings in sacrifices and thank-offerings, and every willing-hearted one—burnt-offerings.
32 Tala motango ya bambeka ya kotumba oyo lisanga ebonzaki: bangombe ya mibali tuku sambo, bameme ya mibali nkama moko, bana meme nkama mibale: nyonso lokola bambeka ya kotumba mpo na Yawe.
And the number of the burnt-offerings that the assembly has brought in is seventy oxen, one hundred rams, [and] two hundred lambs; for all these [are] a burnt-offering to YHWH.
33 Babulisaki lisusu lokola bambeka bangombe nkama motoba, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto misato.
And the sanctified things [are] six hundred oxen and three thousand sheep.
34 Kasi lokola Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki mingi te mpo na kokata na biteni bambeka nyonso ya kotumba, bandeko na bango, Balevi, basungaki bango kino mosala nyonso esilaki mpe kino Banganga-Nzambe mosusu bamibulisaki; pamba te Balevi balekaki Banganga-Nzambe na makanisi ya komibulisa.
Only, the priests have become few, and have not been able to strip the whole of the burnt-offerings, and their brothers the Levites strengthen them until the completion of the work, and until the priests sanctify themselves, for the Levites [are] more upright of heart to sanctify themselves than the priests.
35 Longola bambeka ya kotumba oyo ezalaki mingi, esengelaki lisusu kotumba mafuta ya bambeka ya boyokani mpe kosopa bambeka ya masanga mpo na bambeka ya kotumba. Ezali boye nde babongisaki lisusu misala ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
And also, burnt-offerings [are] in abundance, with fat of the peace-offerings, and with oblations for the burnt-offering; and the service of the house of YHWH is established,
36 Ezekiasi mpe bato nyonso basepelaki na ndenge Nzambe akokisaki makambo mpo na bato na Ye, pamba te nyonso esalemaki na lombangu.
and Hezekiah and all the people rejoice because of God’s giving preparation to the people, for the thing has been suddenly.
