2 Masolo ya Kala 6
1 Bongo Salomo alobaki: « Yawe alobaki ete akovanda kati na esika ya molili!
Then said Solomon, The Lord said that he would dwell in thick darkness.
2 Mpe ngai natongeli Yo ndako ya lokumu, esika oyo okovanda mpo na libela! »
But I have built a house to your name, holy to you, and prepared [for you] to dwell in for ever.
3 Mokonzi abalukaki mpe apambolaki lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele. Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ezalaki ya kotelema.
And the king turned his face, and blessed all the congregation of Israel: and all the congregation of Israel stood by.
4 Alobaki: — Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, apambolama; Ye oyo, na monoko na Ye moko, alobaki na tata na ngai, Davidi, mpe akokisi, na maboko na Ye, makambo oyo alakaki:
And he said, Blessed [be] the Lord God of Israel: he has even fulfilled with his hands as he spoke with his mouth to my father David, saying,
5 « Wuta mokolo oyo nabimisaki bato na Ngai, Isalaele, na Ejipito, naponaki engumba moko te kati na mabota nyonso ya Isalaele mpo ete batonga kuna Tempelo epai wapi Kombo na Ngai ekozala, mpe naponaki moto mosusu te lokola mokonzi ya bato na Ngai, Isalaele,
From the day when I brought up my people out of the land of Egypt, I chose no city of all the tribes of Israel, to build a house that my name should be there; neither did I choose a man to be a leader over my people Israel.
6 kasi naponaki nde Yelusalemi mpo ete Kombo na Ngai ezala kuna, mpe Davidi mpo ete akamba bato na Ngai, Isalaele! »
But I chose Jerusalem that my name should be there; and I chose David to be over my people Israel.
7 Tata na ngai, Davidi, azalaki na makanisi ya kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
And it came into the heart of David my father, to build a house for the name of the Lord God of Israel.
8 Kasi Yawe alobaki na Davidi, tata na ngai: « Osali malamu lokola ozwi makanisi ya kotonga Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai.
But the Lord said to my father David, Whereas it came into your heart to build a house for my name, you did well that it came into your heart.
9 Kasi ezali yo te moto okotonga Tempelo yango; ezali nde mwana na yo ya mobali, oyo akobima na mokongo na yo moko, moto akotonga Tempelo yango mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Ngai. »
Nevertheless you shall not build the house; for your son who shall come forth out of your loins, he shall build the house for my name.
10 Yawe akokisi elaka na Ye: nakitani tata na ngai, Davidi; navandi na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele, ndenge kaka Yawe alobaki, mpe natongi Tempelo mpo na lokumu ya Kombo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
And the Lord has confirmed this word, which he spoke; and I am raised up in the room of my father David, and I sit upon the throne of Israel as the Lord said, and I have built the house for the name of the Lord God of Israel:
11 Natie kuna Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na bana ya Isalaele.
and I have set there the ark in which [is] the covenant of the Lord, which he made with Israel.
12 Bongo Salomo atelemaki liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe; mpe na miso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, atombolaki maboko na ye.
And he stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread out his hands.
13 Solo, Salomo atongaki na bronze etemelo ya kolobela: ezalaki na bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na molayi, bametele mibale na basantimetele tuku mitano na mokuse, mpe metele pene moko na bosanda; mpe atiaki yango na kati-kati ya lopango. Amataki na likolo na yango, afukamaki liboso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, atombolaki maboko likolo
For Solomon [had] made a brazen scaffold, and set it in the midst of the court of the sanctuary; the length of it [was] five cubits, and the breadth of it five cubits, and the height of it three cubits: and he stood upon it, and fell upon his knees before the whole congregation of Israel, and spread abroad his hands to heaven,
14 mpe asambelaki: — Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele! Ezali na nzambe moko te oyo akokani na Yo, ezala kuna na likolo to awa na se. Obatelaka boyokani mpe bolingo na Yo mpo na basali na Yo, oyo batambolaka kolanda mokano na Yo na mitema na bango mobimba.
and said, Lord God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven, or on the earth; keeping covenant and mercy with your servants that walk before you with [their] whole heart.
15 Okokisi bilaka oyo opesaki na Davidi, tata na ngai mpe mosali na Yo; makambo oyo olobaki, na monoko na Yo, okokisi yango na nguya ya loboko na Yo, ndenge ezali komonana na mokolo ya lelo.
Even as you have kept [them] with your servant David my father, as you have spoken to him in words: —you have both spoken with your mouth, and have fulfilled [it] with your hands, as it is this day.
16 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, kokisa mpe elaka mosusu oyo opesaki na Davidi, tata na ngai mpe mosali na Yo, tango olobaki na ye: « Okozangaka te moto oyo akovanda na kiti ya bokonzi ya Isalaele, na miso na Ngai, soki bana na yo bakotambola malamu liboso na Ngai mpe bakotosa mibeko na Ngai, ndenge yo otamboli kolanda mokano na Ngai. »
and now, Lord God of Israel, keep with your servant David my father the things which you spoke to him, saying, There shall not fail you a man before me sitting on the throne of Israel, if only your sons will take heed to their way to walk in my law, as you did walk before me.
17 Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, tika ete elaka oyo opesaki na Davidi, mosali na Yo, ekokisama!
And now, Lord God of Israel, let, I pray you, your word be confirmed, which you have spoken to your servant David.
18 Boni, Nzambe akoki solo kovanda na mokili elongo na bato? Soki kutu Likolo mpe Likolo oyo eleki likolo ekoki kokoka Yo te, bongo ekozala boni mpo na Tempelo oyo ngai natongi?
For will God indeed dwell with men upon the earth? if the heaven and the heaven of heavens will not suffice you, what then is this house which I have built?
19 Yawe, Nzambe na ngai, yoka na bokebi losambo mpe libondeli na ngai, mowumbu na Yo! Yoka koganga mpe libondeli oyo mowumbu na Yo azali kotombola epai na Yo!
Yet you shall have respect to the prayer of your servant, and to my petition, O Lord God, so as to listen to the petition and the prayer which your servant prays before you this day:
20 Tika ete, moyi mpe butu, miso na Yo ezala ya kofungwama mpo na kotala Tempelo oyo, esika oyo olobaki ete okotia kuna Kombo na Yo! Yoka losambo oyo mowumbu na Yo azali kotombola na esika oyo!
so that your eyes should be open over this house by day and by night, towards this place, whereon you said your name should be called, so as to hear the prayer which your servant prays towards this house.
21 Okoyoka mabondeli oyo mowumbu na Yo mpe bato na Yo, Isalaele, bakotombola epai na Yo na kotala na ngambo ya esika oyo! Tika ete oyoka biso wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo; yoka mpe limbisa!
And you shall hear the supplication of your servant, and of your people Israel, whatever prayers they shall make towards this place: and you shall listen in your dwelling-place out of heaven, yes you shall hear, and be merciful.
22 Soki moto asali lisumu epai ya mozalani na ye, mpe batindi ye na makasi ete alapa ndayi esangana na bilakeli mabe, liboso ya etumbelo na Yo kati na Tempelo oyo,
If a man sin against his neighbour, and he bring an oath upon him so as to make him swear, and he come and swear before the altar in this house;
23 yoka wuta na Likolo; sala mpe kata makambo kati na bawumbu na Yo mpo na kokweyisa moto oyo asali mabe mpe komemisa ye ngambo ya mabe na ye kolanda etamboli na ye, mpe mpo na kolongisa moto ya sembo mpe kosalela ye kolanda bosembo na ye.
then shall you listen out of heaven, and do, and judge your servants, to recompense the transgressor, and to return his ways upon his head: and to justify the righteous, to recompense him according to his righteousness.
24 Soki banguna balongi bato na Yo, Isalaele, mpo ete basalaki masumu liboso na Yo, soki babongoli mitema mpo na kozongela Yo, basanzoli Kombo na Yo, basambeli mpe babondeli Yo, kati na Tempelo oyo,
And if your people Israel should be put to the worse before the enemy, if they should sin against you, and [then] turn and confess to your name, and pray and make supplication before you in this house;
25 yoka wuta na Likolo, limbisa masumu ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe zongisa bango na mabele oyo opesaki bango mpe batata na bango!
then shall you listen out of heaven and shall be merciful to the sins of your people Israel, and you shall restore them to the land which you gave to them and to their fathers.
26 Soki likolo ekangami mpe mvula ezali lisusu te mpo ete basalaki masumu liboso na Yo, soki basambeli na kotala na ngambo ya esika oyo, basanzoli Kombo na Yo mpe batiki masumu na bango, pamba te osili koyokisa bango soni,
When heaven is restrained, and there is no rain, because they shall have sinned against you, and [when] they shall pray towards this place, and praise your name, and shall turn from their sins, because you shall afflict them;
27 yoka bango wuta na Likolo, limbisa masumu ya bawumbu na Yo mpe ya Isalaele, bato na Yo, —tango osili kolakisa bango nzela malamu oyo basengeli kolanda— mpe tinda mvula na mokili na Yo, mokili oyo opesaki lokola libula epai ya bato na Yo.
then shall you listen from heaven, and you shall be merciful to the sins of your servants, and of your people Israel; for you shall show them the good way in which they shall walk; and you shall send rain upon your land, which you gave to your people for an inheritance.
28 Soki nzala makasi to bokono makasi to moto to bokawuki to kopola ya bambuma to mabanki to mankoko eyei kati na mokili, soki banguna bazingeli bato na Yo kati na mokili na bango, na bikuke ya bingumba na bango, to soki pasi to bokono ya lolenge nyonso ekweyeli bango,
If there should be famine upon the land, if there should be death, a pestilent wind an blight; if there should be locust and caterpiller, and if the enemy should harass them before their cities: in whatever plague and whatever distress [they may be];
29 soki, wana bato na Yo, Isalaele, bayoki mawa makasi kati na mitema na bango mpo na pasi to bokono yango, moko na moko atomboli maboko na ye na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo, asambeli to abondeli Yo,
Then whatever prayer and whatever supplication shall be made by any man and all your people Israel, if a man should know his own plague and his own sickness, and should spread forth his hands towards this house;
30 yoka ye wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo, limbisa, zongisela moto na moto kolanda etamboli na ye, mpo ete oyebi motema na ye. Solo, Yo kaka nde oyebi mitema ya bato.
then shall you hear from heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall be merciful, and shall recompense to the man according to his ways, as you shall know his heart [to be]; for you alone know the heart of the children of men:
31 Sala bongo mpo ete batosa Yo mpe batambola na banzela na Yo mikolo nyonso oyo bakovanda na mabele oyo opesaki epai na batata na biso.
that they may reverence all your ways all the days which they live upon the face of the land, which you gave to our fathers.
32 Ndenge moko mpe mpo na mopaya oyo azali te na molongo ya Isalaele, bato na Yo: wana akowuta na mokili ya mosika, mpo na Kombo monene na Yo, mpo na loboko na Yo ya nguya mpe esembolama; soki ayei mpe asambeli na kotala na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo,
And every stranger who is not himself of your people Israel, and who shall have come from a distant land because of your great name, and your mighty hand, and your high arm; when they shall come and worship towards this place; —
33 yoka wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo, mpe salela ye nyonso oyo akosenga Yo mpo ete bikolo nyonso ya mokili bayeba Kombo na Yo, batosa Yo lokola Isalaele, bato na Yo, mpe bayeba ete Tempelo oyo natongi ebulisami nde mpo na Kombo na Yo.
then shall you listen out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, and shall do according to all that the stranger shall call upon you for; that all the nations of the earth may know your name, and that they may fear you, as your people Israel [do], and that they may know that your name is called upon this house which I have built.
34 Tango bato na Yo bakokende kobundisa banguna na bango na nzela oyo okolakisa bango, soki basambeli Yo na kotala na ngambo ya engumba oyo oponaki mpe na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo natongi mpo na Kombo na Yo,
And if your people shall go forth to war against their enemies by the way by which you shall send them, and shall pray to you towards this city which you have chosen, and [towards] the house which I have built to your name;
35 yoka wuta na Likolo losambo mpe libondeli na bango, mpe longisa bango.
then shall you hear out of heaven their prayer and their supplication, and maintain their cause.
36 Tango bakosala masumu liboso na Yo, pamba te moto nyonso asalaka masumu, bongo Yo osilikeli bango mpe okabi bango na maboko ya banguna oyo bamemi bango na bowumbu kati na mokili songolo, ezala ya mosika to ya pene,
Whereas if they shall sin against you, (for there is no man who will not sin, ) and you shall strike them, and deliver them up before their enemies, and they that take them captive shall carry them away into a land of enemies, to a land far off or near;
37 soki, wuta na mokili ya bowumbu, basosoli, babongoli mitema, babondeli Yo kati na mokili ya bowumbu na bango mpe balobi: « Tosalaki masumu, tosalaki bambeba, tosalaki makambo mabe; »
and [if] they shall repent in their land whither they were carried captive, and shall also turn and make supplication to you in their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have transgressed, we have wrought unrighteously;
38 soki, wuta na mokili epai wapi bamemaki bango na bowumbu, basengi Yo bolimbisi, na mitema mpe na milimo na bango mobimba, soki basambeli na kotala na ngambo ya mokili na bango, oyo opesaki epai na batata na bango, na ngambo ya engumba oyo oponaki mpe na ngambo ya Tempelo oyo natongi mpo na lokumu ya Kombo na Yo,
and [if] they shall turn to you with all their heart and all their soul in the land of them that carried them captives, whither they carried them captives, and shall pray towards their land which you gave to their fathers, and the city which you did choose, and the house which I built to your name: —
39 yoka wuta na Likolo, evandelo na Yo; yoka losambo mpe mabondeli na bango, longisa bosembo na bango mpe limbisa bato na Yo na masumu oyo basalaki liboso na Yo.
then shall you hear out of heaven, out of your prepared dwelling-place, their prayer and their supplication, and you shall execute justice, and shall be merciful to your people that sin against you.
40 Kobanda sik’oyo, oh Nzambe na ngai, tika ete miso na Yo ezala ya kofungwama mpe matoyi na Yo eyoka na bokebi mabondeli oyo ekosalema na esika oyo!
And now, Lord, let, I pray you, your eyes be opened, and your ears be attentive to the petition [made in] this place.
41 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe,
And now, O Lord God, arise into your resting-place, you, and the ark of your strength: let your priests, O Lord God, clothe themselves with salvation, and your sons rejoice in prosperity.
42 Oh Yawe Nzambe, kobwaka te mopakolami na Yo,
O Lord God, turn not away the face of your anointed: remember the mercies of your servant David.
