Na sanza ya sambo, bana ya Isalaele oyo bavandaki kati na bingumba na bango basanganaki na Yelusalemi lokola moto moko.
2 Pea naʻe tuʻu hake ai ʻa Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono ngaahi kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli mo hono ngaahi kāinga, ʻonau langa ʻae feilaulauʻanga ʻoe ʻOtua ʻo ʻIsileli, ke ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi ʻi he fono ʻa Mōsese ko e tangata ʻae ʻOtua.

3 Pea naʻa nau fokotuʻu ʻae feilaulauʻanga ki hono ngaahi tuʻunga; he naʻe ʻiate kinautolu ʻae manavahē koeʻuhi ko e kakai ʻoe ngaahi fonua ko ia: pea naʻa nau ʻatu ʻi ai ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu kia Sihova, ʻio, ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu ʻi he pongipongi mo e efiafi.
Atako bazalaki koyoka bato oyo bazalaki pembeni na bango somo, batongaki etumbelo na likolo ya miboko na yango ya kala mpe babonzaki wana mpo na Yawe mbeka ya kotumba ya tongo mpe ya pokwa.
4 Naʻa nau fai ʻae kātoanga foki ʻoe ngaahi fale fehikitaki, ʻo hangē ko ia kuo tohi, pea naʻe ʻatu lau pe ʻi he ʻaho kotoa pē ʻae ngaahi feilaulau tutu; ʻo fakatatau ki hono anga, ʻo taau mo e ngāue ʻae ʻaho kotoa pē;
Bongo kolanda makomi, basepelaki feti ya Bandako ya kapo, mpe babonzaki mikolo nyonso bambeka ya kotumba kolanda motango oyo ekatama mpo na mokolo na mokolo.
5 Pea naʻa nau toki ʻatu ʻae feilaulau tutu fai maʻu pe, ʻi he ngaahi tuʻu efiafi, mo e ngaahi kātoanga kotofa kotoa pē ʻa Sihova ʻaia naʻe fakatapui, pea meiate ia kotoa pē naʻe ʻatu loto ʻofa ʻae feilaulau kia Sihova.

Bato babandaki kobonzela Yawe bambeka ya kotumba na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya sambo, atako bamitongelaki nanu te miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
7 Naʻa nau ʻatu ʻae ngaahi paʻanga foki ki he kau tufunga maka, pea ki he kau tufunga ʻakau, mo e meʻa kai, mo e inu, mo e lolo, kiate kinautolu ʻo Saitoni, pea kiate kinautolu ʻo Taia, ke fetuku ʻae ngaahi ʻakau ko e sita mei Lepanoni ki he tahi ʻo Sopa, ʻo fakatatau ki hono tuʻutuʻuni meia Kolesi ko e tuʻi ʻo Peasia.
Bapesaki mbongo epai ya batongi ndako mpe epai ya basharipantie; bongo bapesaki lisusu bilei, masanga mpe mafuta epai ya bato ya Sidoni mpe ya Tiri mpo ete bamema, na nzela ya ebale monene, banzete ya sedele longwa na Libani kino na Jafa, na ndingisa ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi.
8 Pea ko eni, ʻi hono ua taʻu ʻo ʻenau haʻu ki he fale ʻoe ʻOtua ʻi Selūsalema, ʻi hono ua ʻoe māhina, naʻe kamata ʻe Selupepeli ko e foha ʻo Sialiteli, mo Sesua ko e foha ʻo Sosataki, mo hono toe ʻo honau kāinga ko e kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai, mo kinautolu kotoa pē naʻe haʻu mei he nofo pōpula ki Selūsalema; ʻonau fakanofo ʻae kau Livai, mei he taʻu ʻe uofulu ʻo honau motuʻa ʻo fai hake, ke kamata ʻae ngāue ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
Na sanza ya mibale ya mobu ya mibale sima na bango kokoma na Ndako ya Nzambe kati na Yelusalemi, Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli; Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki, elongo na bandeko na bango mosusu, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazongaki na Yelusalemi wuta na bowumbu, babandaki misala ya kotonga. Baponaki Balevi oyo bazalaki na mibu kobanda tuku mibale mpe komata mpo ete balandela misala ya kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe.
9 Pea naʻe tuʻu fakataha ai ʻa Sesua mo hono ngaahi foha mo hono ngaahi kāinga, mo Katimieli mo hono ngaahi foha, ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Siuta, ke fakahoko ʻae kau tangata ngāue ʻi he fale ʻoe ʻOtua: ko e ngaahi foha ʻo Henatati, mo honau ngaahi foha mo honau ngaahi kāinga ko e kau Livai.
Jozue elongo na bana na ye ya mibali mpe bandeko na ye ya mibali, Kadimieli elongo na bana na ye ya mibali oyo bazalaki bakitani ya Yuda, bapesamelaki mokumba ya kolandela bato oyo bazalaki kotonga Ndako ya Nzambe. Mpe bakitani ya Enadadi elongo na bana na bango ya mibali mpe bandeko na bango, Balevi, bazalaki kosunga bango.
10 Pea ʻi he ʻai ʻe he kau langa fale ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe faletapu ʻo Sihova, naʻa nau tuku ke tuʻu ʻae kau taulaʻeiki ʻi honau ngaahi kofu mo e ngaahi meʻalea, mo e kau Livai ko e ngaahi foha ʻo ʻAsafi mo e ngaahi meʻa pakihi ke fakaongolelei ʻa Sihova, ʻo fakatatau ki he tuʻutuʻuni ʻo Tevita ko e tuʻi ʻo ʻIsileli.
Tango batongi ndako basilisaki kotonga miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe, Banganga-Nzambe kati na bilamba na bango ya mosala ya bonganga-Nzambe elongo na bakelelo na bango na maboko; Balevi, bakitani ya Azafi, elongo na manzanza, batelemaki na bisika na bango mpo na kokumisa Yawe, kolanda mitindo ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele.
11 Pea naʻa nau hiva kotoa pē ʻo fai fakalakanga ʻi he fakaongolelei mo e fakafetaʻi kia Sihova: “Ko e meʻa ʻi heʻene angalelei, he ʻoku tolonga ʻene angaʻofa ki ʻIsileli ʻo taʻengata.” Pea naʻe kalanga ʻae kakai kotoa pē ʻi he kalanga lahi, ʻi heʻenau fakafetaʻi kia Sihova, koeʻuhi kuo ʻai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ʻo Sihova.
Bazalaki koyemba banzembo mpo na kokumisa mpe kozongisela Yawe matondi: « Solo, azali malamu, bolingo na Ye mpo na Isalaele ewumelaka seko na seko! » Bongo bato nyonso bazalaki kobeta milolo makasi mpo na kokumisa Yawe mpo ete bazalaki kotia miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
12 Ka ko e tokolahi ʻoe kau taulaʻeiki, mo e kau Livai mo e kau tuʻu ki muʻa ʻi he ngaahi tamai, ʻaia ko e kau tangata motuʻa, naʻe mamata ki he ʻuluaki fale, ʻi he ai ʻae tuʻunga ʻoe fale ni ʻi honau ʻao, naʻa nau tangi leʻo lahi; pea kalanga ʻae tokolahi ʻi he fiefia.

Mpe kaka na tango yango, ebele ya bato mosusu bazalaki kosepela na koganga makasi mpe na kobeta milolo nzela moko na maboko.
13 Ko ia naʻe ʻikai faʻa ongoʻi ke ʻilo ʻe he kakai ʻae kalanga ʻoe fiefia mei he longoaʻa ʻoe tangi ʻae kakai: he naʻe kalanga ʻe he kakai ʻi he kalanga lahi, pea naʻe ongoʻi ʻae longoaʻa ki he mamaʻo.
Boye bato bakokaki te kokesenisa makelele ya bato oyo bazali koganga mpo na esengo mpe makelele ya bato oyo bazali kolela, pamba te bato bazalaki koganga makasi mpe makelele na bango ezalaki koyokana kino na mosika.
