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 the thick darkness.
2 Mpe ngai natongeli Yo ndako ya lokumu, esika oyo okovanda mpo na libela! »
And I have indeed built a dwelling-house for thee, and have settled a place for thy abode 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 the whole congregation of Israel, and all the congregation of Israel was standing.
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, the God of Israel, who spoke with his mouth unto David my father, and hath with his hands fulfilled it, when he said,
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,
Since the day that I brought forth my people out of the land of Egypt, I did not make choice of any city out of all the tribes of Israel to build a house, that my name might be therein; nor did I make choice of any man to be a ruler over my people of Israel;
6 kasi naponaki nde Yelusalemi mpo ete Kombo na Ngai ezala kuna, mpe Davidi mpo ete akamba bato na Ngai, Isalaele! »
But I have made choice of Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and I have made choice of 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 was in the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of the Lord the 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 unto David my father, Whereas it was in thy heart to build a house unto my name, thou didst well in that it was in thy 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 thou shalt not thyself build the house; but thy son that shall come forth out of thy loins, he shall build the house unto 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 hath fulfilled his word that he hath spoken; and I am risen up in the stead of David my father, and I sit on the throne of Israel, as the Lord hath spoken, and I have built the house unto the name of the Lord the God of Israel.
11 Natie kuna Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na bana ya Isalaele.
And I have placed there the ark, wherein is the covenant of the Lord which he hath made with the children of Israel.
12 Bongo Salomo atelemaki liboso ya etumbelo ya Yawe; mpe na miso ya lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele, atombolaki maboko na ye.
And he now placed himself before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth 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 laver of copper, and had placed it in the midst of the out-court, five cubits being its length, five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height; and he placed himself upon it, and kneeled down upon his knees in the presence of all the congregation of Israel, and spread forth his hands toward 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 he said, O Lord God of Israel, there is no god like thee in the heavens, or on the earth, thou who keepest the covenant, and the kindness for thy servants that walk before thee with all their 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.
Who has kept for thy servant David my father that which thou hadst promised him; and thou spokest with thy mouth, and hast fulfilled it with thy hand, 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, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for thy servant David my father that which thou hast spoken concerning him, saying, There shall never fail thee a man in my sight who sitteth on the throne of Israel, if thy children but take heed to their way to walk in my law, as thou hast walked before me.
17 Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, tika ete elaka oyo opesaki na Davidi, mosali na Yo, ekokisama!
And now, O Lord, the God of Israel, let thy word be verified, which thou hast spoken unto thy servant, unto 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, in truth, will God then dwell with men on the earth? behold, the heavens and the heavens of heavens cannot contain thee: how much less then this house that 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 wilt thou turn thy regard unto the prayer of thy servant, and to his supplication, O Lord my God, to listen unto the entreaty and the prayer which thy servant prayeth before thee:
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!
That thy eyes may be open toward this house day and night, toward the place of which thou hast said that thou wouldst put thy name there; that thou mayest listen unto the prayer which thy servant will pray at this place.
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 listen thou to the supplications of thy servant, and of thy people Israel, which they will pray at this place: and oh, do thou hear from thy dwelling-place, from heaven; and hear, and forgive.
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 any man trespass against his neighbor, and an oath be laid upon him to cause him to swear, and the oath come before thy 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 do thou hear from heaven, and act, and judge thy servants, by requiting the wicked, to bring his way upon his own head; and by justifying the righteous, to give 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 thy people Israel be struck down before the enemy, because they have sinned against thee, and they return and confess thy name, and pray, and make supplication before thee 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 do thou hear from heaven, and forgive the sin of thy people Israel, and cause them to return unto the land which thou hast given 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 the heavens be shut up, and there he no rain, because they have sinned against thee, and they pray toward this place, and confess thy name, and turn from their sin, because thou hast afflicted 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 do thou hear in heaven, and forgive the sin of thy servants, and of thy people Israel; for thou wilt direct them unto the good way, wherein they should walk; and give then rain upon thy land, which thou hast given unto thy 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 be famine in the land, if there be pestilence, blasting, or mildew, if there be locusts, or caterpillars; if their enemies besiege them in their land, in their gates at whatsoever plague, and at whatsoever sickness;
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,
What prayer and what supplication soever be made by any man, or by all thy people Israel, when they shall be conscious every man of his plague and his pain, and he then spread forth his hands toward 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 do thou hear from heaven the place of thy dwelling, and forgive, and give to every man in accordance with all his ways, as thou mayest know his heart; for thou, thyself alone, knowest 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.
In order that they may fear thee, to walk in thy ways, all the days that they live on the face of the land which thou hast given unto 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,
But also to the stranger, who is not of thy people Israel, but cometh out of a far-off country for the sake of thy great name, and of thy mighty hand, and of thy outstretched arm, — if they come and pray in this house, —
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.
Mayest thou likewise listen from heaven, from the place of thy dwelling, and do according to all that the stranger will call on thee for: in order that all people of the earth may know thy name, both to fear thee, as do thy people Israel, and to understand that this house, which I have built, is called by thy name.
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,
If thy people go out to battle against their enemies on the way on which thou mayest send them, and they do pray unto thee in the direction of this city which thou hast chosen, and of the house that I have built unto thy name:
35 yoka wuta na Likolo losambo mpe libondeli na bango, mpe longisa bango.
Then hear thou from heaven their prayer and their supplication, and procure them justice.
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,
If they sin against thee—for there is no man that may not sin, —and thou be angry with them, and give them up before the enemy, so that their captors carry them away captive unto 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 then take it to their heart in the land whither they have been carried captive, and repent and make supplication unto thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have committed iniquity, and have acted wickedly;
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 they return unto thee with all their heart and with all their soul in the land of their captivity, whither they have been carried captive, and they pray in the direction of their land, which thou hast given unto their fathers, and of the city which thou hast chosen, and toward the house which I have built unto thy 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 hear thou from heaven, from the place of thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and procure them justice, and forgive thy people for what they have sinned against thee.
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!
Now, my God, let I beseech thee, thy eyes be open, and thy ears be attentive unto the prayer on this place.
41 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe,
And now arise, O Lord God, unto thy resting-place, thou, and the ark of thy strength: let thy priests, O Lord God, clothe themselves with salvation, and let thy pious servants rejoice in happiness.
42 Oh Yawe Nzambe, kobwaka te mopakolami na Yo,
O Lord God, turn not away the face of thy anointed: remember the pious deeds of David thy servant.
