Neyemi 8
1 Bato nyonso basanganaki lokola moto moko na libanda, liboso ya Ekuke ya Mayi. Balobaki na Esidrasi, molakisi ya Mobeko, ete abimisa buku ya Mobeko ya Moyize, oyo Yawe apesaki bana ya Isalaele.
And all the people assembled themselues together, in the streete that was before the watergate, and they spake vnto Ezra the Scribe, that hee would bring the booke of ye Law of Moses, which the Lord had commanded to Israel.
2 Na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya sambo, Nganga-Nzambe Esidrasi amemaki buku ya Mobeko liboso ya lisanga oyo, kati na yango, ezalaki na mibali, basi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na makoki ya kososola.
And Ezra the Priest brought the Lawe before the Congregation both of men and women, and of all that coulde heare and vnderstand it, in the first day of the seuenth moneth,
3 Atangelaki bango buku yango na mongongo makasi, kobanda na tongo kino na pokwa, na esika oyo etalani na Ekuke ya Mayi. Bato nyonso bazalaki koyoka na bokebi botangi buku ya Mobeko.
And he read therein in the streete that was before the watergate (from the morning vntill the midday) before men and women, and them that vnderstoode it, and the eares of all the people hearkened vnto the booke of the Lawe.
4 Esidrasi, molakisi ya Mobeko, atelemaki na etemelo ya kolobela oyo basalaki na mabaya, kaka mpo na mayangani wana. Matitia, Shema, Anaya, Uri, Ilikia mpe Maaseya batelemaki na ngambo ya loboko na ye ya mobali; Pedaya, Mishaeli, Malikiya, Ashumi, Ashibadana, Zakari mpe Meshulami batelemaki na ngambo ya loboko na ye ya mwasi.
And Ezra the Scribe stoode vpon a pulpit of wood which he had made for the preaching, and beside him stood Mattithiah, and Shema, and Ananiah, and Vriiah, and Hilkiah, and Maaseiah on his right hande, and on his left hand Pedaiah, and Mishael, and Malchiah, and Hashum, and Hashbadana, Zechariah, and Meshullam.
5 Mpo ete Esidrasi atelemaki na esika ya likolo koleka bato nyonso, moto nyonso amonaki ye kofungola buku. Mpe tango kaka afungolaki buku yango, bato nyonso batelemaki.
And Ezra opened the booke before all the people: for hee was aboue all the people: and when he opened it, all the people stoode vp.
6 Esidrasi akumisaki Yawe, Nzambe Monene; mpe bato nyonso batombolaki maboko na bango mpe bazongisaki: « Amen! » Bongo bafukamaki mpe bakitisaki bilongi na bango kino na se mpo na kogumbamela Yawe.
And Ezra praysed the Lord the great God, and all the people answered, Amen, Amen, with lifting vp their handes: and they bowed themselues, and worshipped the Lord with their faces toward the grounde.
7 Sima, batelemaki; mpe Balevi oyo: Jozue, Bani, Sherebia, Yamini, Akubi, Shabetayi, Odia, Maaseya, Kelita, Azaria, Yozabadi, Anani mpe Pelaya bakomaki kolimbolela bato Mibeko yango, wana bato bazalaki nanu ya kotelema.
Also Ieshua, and Bani, and Sherebiah, Iamin, Akkub, Shabbethai, Hodiiah, Maaseiah, Kelita, Azariah, Iozabad, Hanan, Pelaiah, and the Leuites caused the people to vnderstand the lawe, and the people stood in their place.
8 Balevi bazalaki kotanga kati na buku ya Mobeko ya Nzambe mpe kopesa ndimbola na yango, na ndenge ya malembe mpe ya malamu, mpo ete bato bakoka kososola makomi oyo batangi.
And they read in the booke of the Lawe of God distinctly, and gaue the sense, and caused them to vnderstand the reading.
9 Bato nyonso bazalaki kolela, wana bazalaki koyoka maloba ya Mibeko. Moyangeli Neyemi mpe Esidrasi, Nganga-Nzambe mpe molakisi ya Mobeko, elongo na Balevi oyo bazalaki kolimbolela bato Mibeko balobaki na bato nyonso: — Mokolo ya lelo ezali bule mpo na Yawe, Nzambe na biso; botika kosala matanga mpe botika kolela!
Then Nehemiah (which is Tirshatha) and Ezra the Priest and scribe, and the Leuites that instructed the people, saide vnto all the people, This day is holie vnto ye Lord your God: mourne not, neither weepe: for all the people wept, whe they heard the words of the Lawe.
10 Neyemi alobaki na bango lisusu: — Sik’oyo, bokende, bolia bilei ya kitoko, bomela masanga ya kitoko mpe botinda ndambo epai ya bato oyo bazangi eloko ya kolamba, pamba te mokolo oyo ezali bule mpo na Nkolo na biso. Boye bozala na mawa te, pamba te esengo ya Yawe ezali makasi na bino.
He saide also vnto the, Go, and eate of the fat, and drinke the sweete, and send part vnto them, for whome none is prepared: for this day is holie vnto our Lord: be ye not sorie therefore: for the ioy of the Lord is your strength.
11 Balevi bazalaki kokitisa bato nyonso mitema, bazalaki koloba na bango: — Bozala na kimia, pamba te mokolo ya lelo ezali bule; bozala na mawa te!
And the Leuites made silence throughout all the people, saying, Holde your peace: for the day is holy, be not sad therefore.
12 Bato nyonso bakendeki kolia mpe komela, kotinda ndambo ya bilei epai ya bato oyo bazangaki eloko ya kolamba mpe kosepela na esengo makasi, pamba te basosolaki maloba oyo balimbolelaki bango.
Then all the people went to eate and to drinke, and to send away part, and to make great ioy, because they had vnderstand the wordes that they had taught them.
13 Na mokolo ya mibale ya sanza, bakambi ya mabota nyonso elongo na Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi basanganaki pembeni ya Esidrasi, molakisi ya Mobeko, mpo na koluka koyeba malamu-malamu maloba ya Mibeko.
And on the second day the chiefe fathers of all the people, the Priests and the Leuites were gathered vnto Ezra the scribe, that he also might instruct them in the wordes of the Lawe.
14 Bamonaki ete ekomama kati na Mibeko oyo Yawe apesaki na nzela ya Moyize, ete bana ya Isalaele basengeli kovanda kati na bandako oyo batonga na matiti, na tango ya feti ya sanza ya sambo,
And they found written in the Law, (that the Lord had commanded by Moses) that the children of Israel should dwel in boothes in the feast of the seuenth moneth,
15 mpe basengeli kotatola to kopanza kati na bingumba na bango nyonso mpe kati na Yelusalemi liloba oyo: « Bobima wuta na mokili ya bangomba, bomema longwa kuna bitape ya nzete ya olive ya mboka mpe ya zamba, bitape ya nzete ya mirite, mandalala mpe bitape ya nzete ya makasa ebele mpo na kotonga bandako ya matiti, kolanda ndenge ekomama. »
And that they shoulde cause it to bee declared and proclaimed in all their cities, and in Ierusalem, saying, Go forth vnto the mount, and bring oliue branches, and pine branches, and branches of myrtus, and palme branches, and branches of thicke trees, to make boothes, as it is written.
16 Bato babimaki mpe bamemaki longwa kuna bitape ya banzete; batongaki bandako ya matiti, na likolo ya mwanza ya bandako na bango, kati na mapango na bango, kati na lopango ya Ndako ya Nzambe, na libanda ya Ekuke ya Mayi mpe na esika oyo ezalaki pembeni ya Ekuke ya Efrayimi.
So the people went foorth and brought them, and made them boothes, euerie one vpon the roofe of his house, and in their courtes, and in the courtes of the house of God, and in the streete by the watergate, and in the streete of the gate of Ephraim.
17 Lisanga ya bato nyonso oyo bawutaki na bowumbu batongaki bandako ya matiti mpe bavandaki kati na yango. Wuta na tango ya Jozue, mwana mobali ya Nuni, kino na mokolo wana, bana ya Isalaele batikalaki lisusu te kosepela feti yango. Boye, mpo na libaku oyo, bazalaki na esengo makasi.
And all the Congregation of them that were come againe out of the captiuitie made boothes, and sate vnder the boothes: for since the time of Ieshua the sonne of Nun vnto this day, had not the children of Israel done so, and there was very great ioy.
18 Mokolo na mokolo, kobanda na mokolo ya liboso kino na mokolo ya suka, Esidrasi azalaki kotanga buku ya Mobeko ya Nzambe. Basepelaki feti mikolo sambo; mpe na mokolo ya mwambe, kolanda malako ya Mobeko, basalaki mayangani mpo na kosukisa feti.
And he read in the booke of the Lawe of God euery day, from the first day vnto the last day. and they kept the feast seuen dayes, and on the eight day a solemne assemblie, according vnto the maner.
