< 2 Masolo ya Kala 30 >
1 Ezekiasi atindaki bamemi sango kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, mpe akomelaki Efrayimi mpe Manase mikanda mpo na kosenga na bango ete baya na Tempelo ya Yawe, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kosepela feti ya Pasika ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
And Hezekiah sent to all Israel and Judah, and wrote letters also to Ephraim and Manasseh, that they should come to the house of the LORD at Jerusalem, to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel.
2 Mokonzi elongo na bakalaka na ye mpe lisanga mobimba ya Yelusalemi bazwaki mokano ya kosepela feti ya Pasika na sanza ya mibale.
For the king had taken counsel, and his princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, to keep the passover in the second month.
3 Balongaki te kosepela feti ya Pasika na mokolo oyo ekatama, pamba te Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamibulisaki bazalaki mingi te, mpe bato basanganaki te na Yelusalemi.
For they could not keep it at that time, because the priests had not sanctified themselves sufficiently, neither had the people gathered themselves together to Jerusalem.
4 Mokonzi mpe lisanga mobimba bandimaki mabongisi yango,
And the thing pleased the king and all the congregation.
5 bazwaki mokano ya kopesa mayebisi kati na Isalaele mobimba, longwa na Beri-Sheba kino na Dani, mpo na kosenga na bato nyonso ete baya kosepela feti ya Pasika, na Yelusalemi mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Pamba te bato moke kaka basepelaki yango kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na makomi.
So they established a decree to make proclamation throughout all Israel, from Beer-sheba even to Dan, that they should come to keep the passover unto the LORD God of Israel at Jerusalem: for they had not done [it] of a long [time in such sort] as it was written.
6 Na etinda ya mokonzi, bamemi sango bakendeki kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, na mikanda oyo ewutaki epai ya mokonzi mpe bakalaka na ye. Tala makambo oyo ezalaki kati na mikanda yango: « Bana ya Isalaele, bozongela Yawe, Nzambe ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Isalaele, mpo ete Ye mpe azongela bino oyo bobiki na maboko ya bakonzi ya mboka Asiri!
So the posts went with the letters from the king and his princes throughout all Israel and Judah, and according to the commandment of the king, saying, Ye children of Israel, turn again unto the LORD God of Abraham, Isaac, and Israel, and he will return to the remnant of you, that are escaped out of the hand of the kings of Assyria.
7 Bozala te lokola batata mpe bandeko na bino oyo bazangaki boyengebene liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango. Yango wana asalaki ete babebisama ndenge bozali komona.
And be not ye like your fathers, and like your brethren, which trespassed against the LORD God of their fathers, [who] therefore gave them up to desolation, as ye see.
8 Bozala moto makasi te lokola batata na bino; bomipesa epai na Yawe, boya na Esika ya bule oyo Ye moko abulisi mpo na libela mpe bosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo ete kanda makasi na Ye ezala mosika na bino!
Now be ye not stiffnecked, as your fathers [were, but] yield yourselves unto the LORD, and enter into his sanctuary, which he hath sanctified for ever: and serve the LORD your God, that the fierceness of his wrath may turn away from you.
9 Soki solo bozongeli Yawe, bandeko mpe bana na bino oyo bakendeki na bowumbu bakozwa ngolu liboso ya bato oyo bakangaki bango, mpe bakozonga na mokili oyo; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atonda na ngolu mpe na mawa. Solo, soki bozongeli Ye, akobalola te elongi na Ye mosika na bino. »
For if ye turn again unto the LORD, your brethren and your children [shall find] compassion before them that lead them captive, so that they shall come again into this land: for the LORD your God [is] gracious and merciful, and will not turn away [his] face from you, if ye return unto him.
10 Bamemi sango batambolaki kati na bingumba nyonso ya Efrayimi mpe ya Manase kino na Zabuloni. Kasi bato bazalaki koseka mpe kotiola bango.
So the posts passed from city to city through the country of Ephraim and Manasseh even unto Zebulun: but they laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
11 Nzokande, ndambo ya bato ya Aseri, ya Manase mpe ya Zabuloni bamikitisaki mpe bakendeki na Yelusalemi.
Nevertheless divers of Asher and Manasseh and of Zebulun humbled themselves, and came to Jerusalem.
12 Kati na mokili ya Yuda, loboko ya Nzambe ezalaki kosala na nguya makasi epai ya bato, mpo na kopesa bango bomoko na molimo mpo na kotosa mitindo ya mokonzi mpe ya bakalaka na ye, kolandisama na Liloba na Yawe.
Also in Judah the hand of God was to give them one heart to do the commandment of the king and of the princes, by the word of the LORD.
13 Bato ebele basanganaki na Yelusalemi mpo na kosepela feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, na sanza ya mibale: bazalaki penza ebele ya bato.
And there assembled at Jerusalem much people to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
14 Babukaki bitumbelo kati na Yelusalemi mpe balimwisaki bambabola nyonso ya malasi na kobwaka yango na lubwaku ya Sedron.
And they arose and took away the altars that [were] in Jerusalem, and all the altars for incense took they away, and cast [them] into the brook Kidron.
15 Bakataki kingo ya mpate mpo na mbeka ya Pasika na mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya mibale. Banganga-Nzambe elongo na Balevi bayokaki soni, bamibulisaki mpe babonzaki bambeka ya kotumba kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth [day] of the second month: and the priests and the Levites were ashamed, and sanctified themselves, and brought in the burnt offerings into the house of the LORD.
16 Bazongelaki misala na bango ndenge ekomama na mibeko ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe. Balevi bazalaki kopesa makila ya bambeka epai ya Banganga-Nzambe; mpe bango, Banganga-Nzambe, bazalaki kosopa yango na etumbelo.
And they stood in their place after their manner, according to the law of Moses the man of God: the priests sprinkled the blood, [which they received] of the hand of the Levites.
17 Lokola bato mingi kati na lisanga bamibulisaki te, Balevi bazwaki mokumba ya kokata bakingo ya bampate ya Pasika mpo na bato wana nyonso oyo bazalaki peto te; mpe na bongo, bakokaki te kobulisa bampate na bango epai na Yawe.
For [there were] many in the congregation that were not sanctified: therefore the Levites had the charge of the killing of the passovers for every one [that was] not clean, to sanctify [them] unto the LORD.
18 Atako bato ebele oyo bawutaki na Manase, na Efrayimi, na Isakari mpe na Zabuloni bamipetolaki te, kasi baliaki Pasika na kozanga kolanda oyo ekomama. Yango wana Ezekiasi abondelaki boye mpo na bango: « Yawe, Yo oyo ozali malamu, tika ete olimbisa
For a multitude of the people, [even] many of Ephraim, and Manasseh, Issachar, and Zebulun, had not cleansed themselves, yet did they eat the passover otherwise than it was written. But Hezekiah prayed for them, saying, The good LORD pardon every one
19 moto nyonso oyo amipesi na koluka Nzambe, Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na ye, na motema na ye mobimba atako amipetolaki te kolanda mibeko ya Esika ya bule! »
[That] prepareth his heart to seek God, the LORD God of his fathers, though [he be] not [cleansed] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
20 Yawe ayokaki libondeli ya Ezekiasi mpe abetaki bato te.
And the LORD hearkened to Hezekiah, and healed the people.
21 Boye bato ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi basepelaki mikolo sambo mpe na esengo makasi feti ya Mapa ezanga levire wana Balevi mpe Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki kokumisa Yawe mikolo nyonso na kobeta makasi bibetelo mindule na bango mpo na lokumu ya Yawe.
And the children of Israel that were present at Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great gladness: and the Levites and the priests praised the LORD day by day, [singing] with loud instruments unto the LORD.
22 Ezekiasi alendisaki Balevi nyonso oyo balakisaki ete bayebi malamu mosala ya Yawe. Na mikolo sambo ya feti, baliaki misuni ya bambeka, babonzaki bambeka ya boyokani mpe basanzolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango.
And Hezekiah spake comfortably unto all the Levites that taught the good knowledge of the LORD: and they did eat throughout the feast seven days, offering peace offerings, and making confession to the LORD God of their fathers.
23 Lisanga mobimba eyokanaki kobakisa mikolo mosusu sambo mpo na kokoba kosepela feti. Boye, basalaki feti na esengo na mikolo yango sambo.
And the whole assembly took counsel to keep other seven days: and they kept [other] seven days with gladness.
24 Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, apesaki mpo na lisanga bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto sambo; mpe bakalaka bapesaki mpo na lisanga bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto zomi. Banganga-Nzambe ebele bamibulisaki.
For Hezekiah king of Judah did give to the congregation a thousand bullocks and seven thousand sheep; and the princes gave to the congregation a thousand bullocks and ten thousand sheep: and a great number of priests sanctified themselves.
25 Lisanga mobimba ya Yuda, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi, bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpe bapaya oyo bawutaki na Isalaele to bavandi ya Yuda bazalaki na esengo.
And all the congregation of Judah, with the priests and the Levites, and all the congregation that came out of Israel, and the strangers that came out of the land of Israel, and that dwelt in Judah, rejoiced.
26 Esengo ezalaki makasi kati na Yelusalemi, pamba te wuta na tango ya Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, likambo ya boye etikala nanu kosalema te kati na Yelusalemi.
So there was great joy in Jerusalem: for since the time of Solomon the son of David king of Israel [there was] not the like in Jerusalem.
27 Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi batelemaki mpo na kopambola bato, mpe Nzambe ayokaki bango mpo ete losambo na bango ekomaki kino na Likolo, evandelo na Ye ya bule.
Then the priests the Levites arose and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came [up] to his holy dwelling place, [even] unto heaven.
