2 Masolo ya Kala 6
1 Bongo Salomo alobaki: « Yawe alobaki ete akovanda kati na esika ya molili!
Then said Solomon, 'Jehovah said — to dwell in thick darkness,
2 Mpe ngai natongeli Yo ndako ya lokumu, esika oyo okovanda mpo na libela! »
and I — I have built a house of habitation for Thee, and a fixed place for Thy dwelling to the ages.'
3 Mokonzi abalukaki mpe apambolaki lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele. Lisanga mobimba ya Isalaele ezalaki ya kotelema.
And the king turneth round his face, and blesseth the whole assembly of Israel, and the whole assembly of Israel is 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 saith, 'Blessed [is] Jehovah, God of Israel, who hath spoken with His mouth with David my father, and with His hands hath fulfilled [it], 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 that I brought out My people from the land of Egypt, I have not fixed on a city out of any of the tribes of Israel to build a house for my name being there, and I have not fixed on a man to be 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! »
and I fix on Jerusalem for My name being there, and I fix on 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 is with the heart of David my father to build a house for the name of Jehovah 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.
and Jehovah saith unto David my father, Because that it hath been with thy heart to build a house for My name, thou hast done well that it hath been with 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. »
but thou dost not build the house, for thy son who cometh forth out from thy loins, he doth 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 Jehovah doth establish His word that He spake, and I rise up in the stead of David my father, and sit on the throne of Israel, as Jehovah spake, and I build the house for the name of Jehovah, God of Israel,
11 Natie kuna Sanduku ya Boyokani ya Yawe, boyokani oyo asalaki elongo na bana ya Isalaele.
and I place there the ark, where [is] the covenant of Jehovah that He made with the sons 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 standeth before the altar of Jehovah, over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth out his hand, —
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 hath made a scaffold of brass, and putteth it in the midst of the court, five cubits its length, and five cubits its breadth, and three cubits its height, and he standeth upon it, and kneeleth on his knees over-against all the assembly of Israel, and spreadeth forth his hands towards the heavens —
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 saith, 'O Jehovah God of Israel, there is not like Thee a god in the heavens and in the earth, keeping the covenant and the kindness for Thy servants who are walking 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 hast kept for Thy servant David my father that which Thou didst speak to him; yea, Thou dost speak with Thy mouth, and with Thy hand hast fulfilled [it], as at 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 Jehovah, God of Israel, keep for Thy servant David my father that which Thou didst speak to him, saying, There is not cut off to thee a man from before Me, sitting on the throne of Israel, only, if thy sons watch 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 Jehovah, God of Israel, is Thy word stedfast that Thou hast spoken to Thy servant, to 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 is it true? — God dwelleth with man on the earth! Lo, the heavens, and the heavens of the heavens, do not contain Thee, how much less 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!
'And Thou hast turned unto the prayer of Thy servant, and unto his supplication, O Jehovah my God, to hearken unto the cry and unto the prayer that Thy servant is praying 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!
for Thine eyes being open towards this house by day and by night, towards the place that Thou hast said to put Thy name there, to hearken unto the prayer that Thy servant prayeth towards 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 Thou hast hearkened unto the supplications of Thy servant, and of Thy people Israel, that they pray towards this place, and Thou dost hear from the place of Thy dwelling, from the heavens, and hast hearkened, and forgiven.
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 doth sin against his neighbour, and he hath lifted up on him an oath to cause him to swear, and the oath hath come in before Thine 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 Thou dost hear from the heavens, and hast done, and hast judged Thy servants, to give back to the wicked, to put his way on his head, and to declare righteous the righteous, to give to 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 is smitten before an enemy, because they sin against Thee, and they have turned back and confessed Thy name, and prayed and made 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 Thou dost hear from the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy people Israel, and caused them to turn back unto the ground that 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,
'In the heavens being restrained, and there is no rain, because they sin against Thee, and they have prayed towards this place, and confessed Thy name — from their sin they turn back because Thou dost 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 Thou dost hear in the heavens, and hast forgiven the sin of Thy servants, and of Thy people Israel, because Thou directest them unto the good way in which they walk, and hast given rain on Thy land that Thou hast given to 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,
'Famine, when it is in the land, pestilence, when it is, blasting, and mildew, locust, and caterpillar, when they are, when its enemies have distressed it in the land — its gates, any plague and any 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,
any prayer, any supplication that is for any man, and for all Thy people Israel, when they know each his own plague, and his own pain, and he hath spread out 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 Thou dost hear from the heavens, the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast forgiven, and hast given to each according to all his ways (because Thou knowest his heart, for Thou — Thou only — hast known the heart of the sons 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.
so that they fear Thee, to walk in Thy ways, all the days that they are living on the face of the ground that Thou hast given 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 also, unto the stranger who is not of Thy people Israel, and he hath come from a land afar off for the sake of Thy great name, and Thy strong hand, and Thy stretched-out arm, and they have come in and prayed towards 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.
then Thou dost hear from the heavens, from the settled place of Thy dwelling, and hast done according to all that the stranger calleth unto Thee for: so that all the peoples of the earth do know Thy name, so as to fear Thee, as Thy people Israel, and to know that Thy name is called on this house that 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,
'When Thy people doth go out to battle against its enemies in the way that Thou dost send them, and they have prayed unto Thee the way of this city that Thou hast fixed on, and the house that I have built for Thy name:
35 yoka wuta na Likolo losambo mpe libondeli na bango, mpe longisa bango.
then Thou hast heard from the heavens their prayer and their supplication, and hast maintained 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,
'When they sin against Thee — for there is not a man who sinneth not — and Thou hast been angry with them, and hast given them before an enemy, and taken them captive have their captors, 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 they have turned [it] back unto their heart in the land whither they have been taken captive, and have turned back, and made supplication unto Thee in the land of their captivity, saying, We have sinned, we have done perversely, and have done 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,
yea, they have turned back unto Thee with all their heart, and with all their soul, in the land of their captivity, whither they have taken them captive, and they have prayed the way of their land that Thou hast given to their fathers, and of the city that Thou hast chosen, and of the house that I have built for 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 Thou hast heard from the heavens, from the settled place of Thy dwelling, their prayer and their supplications, and hast maintained their cause, and forgiven Thy people who 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, Thine eyes be open, and Thine ears attentive, to the prayer of this place:
41 Sik’oyo, oh Yawe Nzambe,
and now, rise, O Jehovah God, to Thy rest, Thou, and the ark of Thy strength; Thy priests, O Jehovah God, are clothed with salvation, and Thy saints rejoice in the goodness,
42 Oh Yawe Nzambe, kobwaka te mopakolami na Yo,
O Jehovah God, turn not back the face of Thine anointed, be mindful of the kind acts of David Thy servant.'
