< Neyemi 2 >
1 Na sanza ya Nisani, na mobu ya tuku mibale ya bokonzi ya Aritakizerisesi, lokola vino ezalaki liboso ya mokonzi, nazwaki vino mpe napesaki ye mpo ete amela. Ezalaki mbala na ngai ya liboso ya kozala mawa-mawa liboso ya mokonzi.
And it was - in [the] month of Nisan year twenty of Artaxerxes the king wine [was] before him and I took the wine and I gave [it]! to the king and not I had been sad before him.
2 Boye mokonzi atunaki ngai: — Mpo na nini elongi na yo ezali mawa-mawa lokola nde ozali kobela, nzokande ozali kobela te? Boni, ozali na mawa na motema? Nabangaki makasi;
And he said to me the king why? - [is] face your sad and you not you [are] sick [is] nothing this that except sadness of heart and I was afraid greatly very.
3 kasi nazongiselaki mokonzi: — Tika ete mokonzi awumela na bomoi! Ndenge nini elongi na ngai ezala mawa-mawa te tango engumba epai wapi bakunda batata na ngai ebebi mpe bikuke na yango ebebisamaki na moto?
And I said to the king the king for ever may he live why? not will they be sad face my that the city [the] house of [the] tombs of ancestors my [is] desolate and gates its they have been consumed by fire.
4 Mokonzi atunaki ngai: — Olingi nini? Nasambelaki Nzambe ya Likolo,
And he said to me the king on what? this [are] you requesting and I prayed to [the] God of the heavens.
5 mpe nazongiselaki mokonzi: — Soki esepelisi mokonzi mpe soki mowumbu na ye azwi ngolu na miso na ye, tika ete mokonzi atinda ngai na engumba Yuda epai wapi bakunda batata na ngai, mpo ete nakende kotonga yango lisusu.
And I said to the king if [is] on the king good and if he is good servant your before you that you will send me to Judah to [the] city of [the] tombs of ancestors my and I will rebuild it.
6 Mokonzi, oyo mwasi na ye avandaki pembeni na ye, atunaki ngai: — Mobembo na yo ekosala mikolo boni mpe okozonga tango nini. Esepelisaki mokonzi kotinda ngai; mpe nakataki tango oyo mobembo yango ekokaki kosala.
And he said to me the king and the queen-consort - [was] sitting beside him until when? will it be journey your and when? will you return and it was good before the king and he sent me and I gave! to him a time.
7 Nalobaki na ye lisusu: — Soki esepelisi mokonzi, tika ete mokonzi apesa ngai mikanda mpo na bayangeli ya etuka ya ngambo ya weste ya ebale Efrate, mpo ete batika ngai koleka kino nakokoma kati na Yuda;
And I said to the king if [is] on the king good letters let people give to me to [the] governors of beyond the River that they will allow to pass through me until that I will come to Judah.
8 mpe tika ete nazwa mokanda mpo na Azafi, mokengeli ya zamba ya mokonzi, mpo ete apesa ngai mabaya ya motondo mpo na bikuke ya engumba batonga makasi pene ya Tempelo, mpo na mir ya engumba mpe mpo na ndako oyo nakovanda. Lokola loboko ya ngolu ya Nzambe na ngai ezalaki likolo na ngai, mokonzi apesaki ngai mikanda yango.
And a letter to Asaph [the] keeper of the forest which [belongs] to the king that he will give to me wood to make beams for [the] gates of the citadel which [belongs] to the house and for [the] wall of the city and for the house which I will go into it and he gave [them] to me the king according to [the] hand of God my good on me.
9 Nakendeki epai ya bayangeli ya etuka ya ngambo ya weste ya ebale Efrate mpe napesaki bango mikanda ya mokonzi. Mokonzi atindaki lisusu bakonzi ya basoda mpe basoda oyo batambolaka likolo ya bampunda mpo ete bazala elongo na ngai.
And I went to [the] governors of beyond the River and I gave! to them [the] letters of the king and he had sent with me the king commanders of [the] army and horsemen.
10 Tango kaka Sanibala, moto ya Oroni, mpe Tobiya, kalaka ya mboka Amoni, bayokaki ete nazali koya, basepelaki ata moke te komona moto moko koya mpo na bolamu ya bana ya Isalaele.
And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah the servant the Ammonite and it was displeasing to them displeasure great that he had come someone to seek good for [the] people of Israel.
11 Nakomaki na Yelusalemi mpe, sima na ngai kosala kuna mikolo misato,
And I came to Jerusalem and I was there days three.
12 nabimaki na butu elongo na ndambo ya bato. Nalobaki na moto ata moko te makambo oyo Nzambe na ngai atiaki kati na motema na ngai, makambo oyo nasengeli kokokisa mpo na bolamu ya Yelusalemi. Ezalaki na nyama mosusu te elongo na ngai longola kaka nyama oyo nazalaki kotambola likolo na yango.
And I arose - night I and men - a few with me and not I had told to anyone what? [was] God my putting into heart my to do for Jerusalem and an animal there not [was] with me that except the animal which I [was] riding on it.
13 Na butu, nabimelaki na ekuke oyo ememaka na Lubwaku, nakendeki na nzela oyo ekenda na etima ya Dalagona mpe na Ekuke ya Fulu, mpo na kotala malamu-malamu bamir ya Yelusalemi, oyo etondaki na madusu mpe bikuke na yango esilaki kobebisama na moto.
And I went out! by [the] gate of the valley night and to [the] face [the] Spring of [the] Dragons and to [the] gate of the dung and I was examining [the] walls of Jerusalem which (they - [were] broken down *Q(K)*) and gates its they had been consumed by fire.
14 Nalekaki pembeni ya Ekuke ya Etima mpe pembeni ya Liziba ya mokonzi, kasi nzela ezalaki penza te mpo ete nyama oyo nazalaki kotambola likolo na yango ekoka koleka.
And I passed on to [the] gate of the spring and to [the] pool of the king and there not [was] room for the animal to pass through under me.
15 Namataki wuta na lubwaku, kaka na butu, mpo na kokoba kotala malamu-malamu mir. Nabalukaki mpe nazongelaki na nzela ya Ekuke ya Lubwaku.
And I was going up in the wadi night and I was examining the wall and I turned back and I went in [the] gate of the valley and I returned.
16 Bakalaka bayebaki te esika oyo nakendeki to likambo oyo nazalaki kosala; pamba te kino na ngonga wana, nalobaki nanu ata likambo moko te, ezala epai ya Bayuda, epai ya Banganga-Nzambe, epai ya bankumu, epai ya bayangeli to mpe epai ya bakambi mosusu oyo bazalaki kosala mosala.
And the officials not they knew where? had I gone and what? [was] I doing and to the Jews and to the priests and to the nobles and to the officials and to [the] rest [who was] doing the work until thus not I had told.
17 Bongo nalobaki na bango: — Bozali komona pasi oyo tozali na yango! Yelusalemi ebebi, mpe bikuke na yango ebebisamaki na moto! Boya, totonga lisusu mir ya Yelusalemi mpo ete tolongwa kati na soni oyo!
And I said to them you [are] seeing the trouble which we [are] in it that Jerusalem [is] desolate and gates its they have been burned with fire come so we may rebuild [the] wall of Jerusalem and not we will be again a reproach.
18 Nayebisaki bango lisusu ndenge nini loboko ya ngolu ya Nzambe na ngai ezalaki likolo na ngai mpe makambo oyo mokonzi alobaki na ngai. Mbala moko, bazongisaki: — Totelema mpe totonga! Boye bazwaki mpiko mpe babandaki mbala moko mosala kitoko yango.
And I told to them [about] [the] hand of God my that it [was] good on me and also [the] words of the king which he had spoken to me and they said let us arise and we will rebuild and they strengthened hands their for good.
19 Kasi tango Sanibala, moto ya Oroni; Tobiya, kalaka ya mboka Amoni; mpe Geshemi, moto ya mboka Arabi, bayokaki sango na yango, basekaki mpe batiolaki biso. Balobaki: — Eloko nini oyo bozali kosala? Bozali kotombokela mokonzi?
And he heard Sanballat the Horonite and Tobiah - the servant the Ammonite and Geshem the Arab and they mocked us and they despised us and they said what? [is] the thing this which you [are] doing ¿ on the king [are] you rebelling.
20 Nazongiselaki bango: — Nzambe ya Likolo akolongisa biso solo. Biso bawumbu na Ye, tokotelema mpe tokotonga. Kasi bino, bozali ata na eteni moko te ya mabele to na bokonzi moko te kati na Yelusalemi, mpe moto moko te akozala kuna na ekaniseli malamu mpo na bino!
And I brought back them word and I said to them [the] God of the heavens he he will grant success to us and we servants his we will arise and we will rebuild and [belongs] to you not a share and a right and a memorial in Jerusalem.
