Esidrasi 3
1 Na sanza ya sambo, bana ya Isalaele oyo bavandaki kati na bingumba na bango basanganaki na Yelusalemi lokola moto moko.
When the seventh month had come, and the children of Israel were in their cities, the people gathered themselves together as one man to Jerusalem.
2 Jozue, mwana mobali ya Yotsadaki, elongo na baninga na ye, Banganga-Nzambe, mpe Zorobabeli, mwana mobali ya Shealitieli, elongo na bandeko na ye, babandaki kotonga etumbelo ya Nzambe ya Isalaele mpo na kobonza kuna mbeka ya kotumba kolanda makomi kati na Mobeko ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe.
Then Jeshua the son of Jozadak stood up with his brothers the cohanim, and Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel and his brothers, and built the altar of the God of Israel, to offer burnt offerings thereon, as it is written in the law of Moses the man of God.
3 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.
In spite of their fear because of the peoples of the surrounding lands, they set the altar on its base; and they offered burnt offerings on it to the LORD, even burnt offerings morning and evening.
4 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.
They kept the feast of tents, as it is written, and offered the daily burnt offerings by number, according to the ordinance, as the duty of every day required;
5 Sima na yango, babonzaki mbeka ya kotumba ya tango nyonso, bambeka ya kotumba oyo ekatama mpo na feti ya ebandeli ya sanza mpe mpo na feti nyonso oyo ekatama mpo na Yawe, mpe bambeka ya kotumba mpo na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki bango moko kopesa makabo wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango.
and afterward the continual burnt offering, the offerings of the new moons, of all the set feasts of the LORD that were consecrated, and of everyone who willingly offered a freewill offering to the LORD.
6 Bato babandaki kobonzela Yawe bambeka ya kotumba na mokolo ya liboso ya sanza ya sambo, atako bamitongelaki nanu te miboko ya Tempelo ya Yawe.
From the first day of the seventh month, they began to offer burnt offerings to the LORD; but the foundation of the LORD's temple was not yet laid.
7 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.
They also gave money to the masons, and to the carpenters. They also gave food, drink, and oil to the people of Sidon and Tyre, to bring cedar trees from Lebanon to the sea, to Joppa, according to the grant that they had from Koresh King of Persia.
8 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.
Now in the second year of their coming to God's house at Jerusalem, in the second month, Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, and Jeshua the son of Jozadak, and the rest of their brothers the cohanim and the Levites, and all those who had come out of the captivity to Jerusalem, began the work and appointed the Levites, from twenty years old and upward, to have the oversight of the work of the LORD's house.
9 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.
Then Jeshua stood with his sons and his brothers, Kadmiel and his sons, the sons of Hodaviah, together, to have the oversight of the workmen in God's house: the sons of Henadad, with their sons and their brothers the Levites.
10 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.
When the builders laid the foundation of the LORD's temple, they set the cohanim in their clothing with trumpets, with the Levites the sons of Asaph with cymbals, to praise the LORD, according to the directions of David king of Israel.
11 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.
They sang to one another in praising and giving thanks to the LORD, "For he is good, for his loving kindness endures forever toward Israel." All the people shouted with a great shout, when they praised the LORD, because the foundation of the house of the LORD had been laid.
12 Nzokande, kati na Banganga-Nzambe oyo ya mikolo, kati na Balevi oyo ya mikolo mpe kati na bakambi ya mabota, oyo ya mikolo, ezalaki na ebele oyo bamonaki Tempelo ya liboso; bongo bazalaki kolela na mongongo makasi wana bazalaki kotia miboko ya Tempelo ya sika na miso na bango. Mpe kaka na tango yango, ebele ya bato mosusu bazalaki kosepela na koganga makasi mpe na kobeta milolo nzela moko na maboko.
But many of the cohanim and Levites and heads of fathers' households, the old men who had seen the first house, when the foundation of this house was laid before their eyes, wept with a loud voice. Many also shouted aloud for joy,
13 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.
so that the people could not discern the noise of the shout of joy from the noise of the weeping of the people; for the people shouted with a loud shout, and the noise was heard far away.
