2 Masolo ya Kala 7
1 Tango Salomo asilisaki kosambela, moto ekitaki wuta na Likolo mpe ezikisaki mbeka ya kotumba mpe bambeka mosusu, mpe nkembo na Yawe etondisaki Tempelo.
Now when Solomon had finished praying, fire came down from heaven and consumed the burnt offerings and sacrifices, and the glory of Yahweh filled the house.
2 Banganga-Nzambe bakokaki te kokota na Tempelo ya Yawe, pamba te nkembo na Yawe etondisaki yango.
The priests could not enter the house of Yahweh, because his glory filled his house.
3 Tango bana nyonso ya Isalaele bamonaki moto kokita mpe nkembo na Yawe na likolo ya Tempelo, bafukamaki bilongi kino na mabele; bongo bagumbamelaki mpe basanzolaki Yawe na maloba oyo: « Azali malamu, bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko! »
When all the people of Israel saw the fire come down and the glory of Yahweh over the house, they bowed down with their faces to the ground on the stone pavement and worshiped and gave thanks to Yahweh. They said, “For he is good, for his covenant loyalty endures forever.”
4 Mokonzi mpe bana nyonso ya Isalaele babonzaki bambeka liboso ya Yawe.
So the king and all the people offered sacrifices to Yahweh.
5 Mokonzi Salomo abonzaki lokola mbeka bangombe nkoto tuku mibale na mibale mpe bameme nkoto nkama moko na tuku mibale. Ezalaki ndenge wana nde mokonzi mpe bato nyonso babulisaki Tempelo ya Nzambe.
King Solomon offered a sacrifice of twenty-two thousand oxen and 120,000 sheep and goats. So the king and all the people dedicated the house of God.
6 Banganga-Nzambe batelemaki na bisika na bango ya mosala, ndenge moko na Balevi mpe bibetelo mindule ya Yawe oyo mokonzi Davidi asalaki mpo na kosanzola na yango Yawe na maloba oyo: « Bolingo na Ye ewumelaka seko na seko. » Ezalaki Davidi moto apesaki bango mokumba ya kobeta bibetelo mindule mpo na kokumisa Yawe. Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki ya kotalana na Balevi mpe bazalaki kobeta bakelelo; bongo bana nyonso ya Isalaele bazalaki ya kotelema.
The priests stood, each standing where they serve; the Levites also with instruments of music of Yahweh, which David the king had made to give thanks to Yahweh in the song, “For his covenant faithfulness endures for ever.” All the priests sounded trumpets before them, and all Israel stood.
7 Salomo abulisaki lopango ya kati oyo ezalaki liboso ya Tempelo ya Yawe mpe abonzaki wana bambeka ya kotumba mpe mafuta ya bambeka ya boyokani; pamba te etumbelo ya bronze oyo Salomo atongaki ekokaki te koyamba bambeka ya kotumba, makabo ya gato mpe mafuta.
Solomon set apart the middle of the courtyard in front of the house of Yahweh. There he offered the burnt offerings and the fat of the fellowship offerings, because the bronze altar that he had made was not able to hold the burnt offerings, the grain offerings, and the fat.
8 Boye, na tango wana, Salomo elongo na Isalaele mobimba basalaki feti oyo ewumelaki mikolo sambo; ezalaki lisanga monene ya bato oyo bayaki wuta na Amati kino na mayi oyo etiolaka na kati-kati ya bangomba ya Ejipito.
So Solomon held the festival at that time for seven days, and all Israel with him, a very great assembly, from Lebo Hamath to the brook of Egypt.
9 Na mokolo ya mwambe, basalaki mayangani monene, pamba te babulisaki etumbelo mikolo sambo mpe basalaki feti mikolo sambo.
On the eighth day they held a solemn assembly, for they kept the dedication of the altar for seven days, and the feast for seven days.
10 Bongo na mokolo ya tuku mibale na misato ya sanza ya sambo, Salomo azongisaki bato na bandako na bango ya kapo, na esengo mpe na nsayi kati na mitema mpo na bolamu oyo Yawe asalelaki Davidi, Salomo mpe Isalaele, bato na Ye.
On the twenty-third day of the seventh month, Solomon sent the people away to their homes with glad and joyful hearts because of the goodness that Yahweh had shown to David, Solomon, and Israel, his people.
11 Sima na Salomo kosilisa kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, ndako ya mokonzi mpe kokokisa nyonso oyo azalaki na yango na makanisi ya kosala kati na Tempelo ya Yawe mpe kati na ndako na ye moko,
Thus Solomon finished the house of Yahweh and his own house. Everything that came into Solomon's heart to make in the house of Yahweh and in his own house, he successfully carried out.
12 Yawe abimelaki Salomo, na butu, mpe alobaki: — Nayoki losambo na yo mpe naponi esika oyo lokola Ndako ya bambeka mpo na Ngai.
Yahweh appeared to Solomon by night and said to him, “I have heard your prayer, and I have chosen this place for myself as a house of sacrifice.
13 Soki nakangi likolo mpo ete mvula ebeta te to natindi mabanki mpo ete ebebisa mokili to natindi bokono mabe kati na bato,
Suppose that I shut up the heavens so that there is no rain, or if I command the locust to devour the land, or if I send disease among my people,
14 soki bato na Ngai, oyo babengami na Kombo na Ngai bamikitisi, basambeli, baluki elongi na Ngai, mpe bapesi mokongo na banzela na bango ya mabe, Ngai, nakoyoka bango wuta na Likolo, nakolimbisa masumu na bango mpe nakobikisa mokili na bango.
then if my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves, pray, seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven, forgive their sin, and heal their land.
15 Kobanda sik’oyo, miso na Ngai ekofungwama, mpe matoyi na Ngai ekoyoka na bokebi mabondeli oyo ekosalema na esika oyo.
Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers that are made in this place.
16 Naponi mpe nabulisi Tempelo wana mpo ete Kombo na Ngai ezala kuna tango nyonso. Miso mpe motema na Ngai ekozala kuna na Tempelo yango mpo na libela.
For I have now chosen and set apart this house that my name may be there forever. My eyes and my heart will be there every day.
17 Mpo na yo, soki okotambola liboso na Ngai ndenge Davidi, tata na yo, atambolaki; soki okosala nyonso oyo natindaki yo mpe okobatela mibeko mpe malako na Ngai,
As for you, if you walk before me as David your father walked, obeying all that I have commanded you and keeping my statutes and my decrees,
18 nakolendisa kiti na yo ya bokonzi kolanda boyokani oyo nasalaki elongo na Davidi, tata na yo, tango nalobaki: « Okotikalaka kozanga te mokitani mpo na kokamba Isalaele lokola mokonzi. »
then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I said in a covenant with David your father, when I said, 'A descendant of yours will never fail to be ruler in Israel.'
19 Kasi soki bopengwi mosika na Ngai, soki bosundoli mibeko mpe malako na Ngai, oyo natie liboso na bino; soki bokeyi kosalela banzambe mosusu mpe kofukamela yango,
But if you turn away, and forsake my statutes and my commandments that I have placed before you, and if you go worship other gods and bow down to them,
20 nakopikola bino na mabele na Ngai, mabele oyo napesaki bino; nakobwaka mosika ya miso na Ngai Tempelo oyo nabulisi mpo na Kombo na Ngai mpe nakokomisa yango eloko ya kotiola mpe ya soni kati na bikolo nyonso.
then I will uproot them from out of my ground that I have given them. This house that I have set apart for my name, I will cast away from before me, and I will make it a proverb and a joke among all the peoples.
21 Atako Tempelo oyo ezali sik’oyo kitoko penza, kasi bato nyonso oyo bakoleka pembeni na yango bakokamwa mpe bakoloba: « Mpo na nini Yawe asali makambo ya boye na mokili oyo mpe na Tempelo oyo? »
Even though this temple is so lofty now, everyone who passes by it will be shocked and will hiss. They will ask, 'Why has Yahweh done this to this land and to this house?'
22 Mpe bakoyanola: « Ezali mpo ete basundolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango, oyo abimisaki bango na Ejipito mpe bamipesaki na banzambe mosusu, bafukamelaki yango mpe basalelaki yango; yango wana Yawe ayeisi likolo na bango pasi oyo nyonso. »
Others will answer, 'Because they forsook Yahweh, their God, who had brought their ancestors out of the land of Egypt, and they laid hold of other gods and bowed down to them and worshiped them. That is why Yahweh has brought all this disaster on them.'”
