< Chronicles II 30 >

1 And Ezekias sent to all Israel and Juda, and wrote letters to Ephraim and Manasse, that they should come into the house of the Lord to Jerusalem, to keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel.
Ezekiasi atindaki bamemi sango kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, mpe akomelaki Efrayimi mpe Manase mikanda mpo na kosenga na bango ete baya na Tempelo ya Yawe, na Yelusalemi, mpo na kosepela feti ya Pasika ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele.
2 For the king, and the princes, and all the congregation in Jerusalem, designed to keep the passover in the second month.
Mokonzi elongo na bakalaka na ye mpe lisanga mobimba ya Yelusalemi bazwaki mokano ya kosepela feti ya Pasika na sanza ya mibale.
3 For they could not keep it at that time, because a sufficient number of priest had not purified themselves, and the people was not gathered to Jerusalem.
Balongaki te kosepela feti ya Pasika na mokolo oyo ekatama, pamba te Banganga-Nzambe oyo bamibulisaki bazalaki mingi te, mpe bato basanganaki te na Yelusalemi.
4 And the proposal pleased the king and the congregation.
Mokonzi mpe lisanga mobimba bandimaki mabongisi yango,
5 And they established a decree that a proclamation should go through all Israel, from Bersabee to Dan, that they should come and keep the passover to the Lord God of Israel at Jerusalem: for the multitude had not done it lately according to the scripture.
bazwaki mokano ya kopesa mayebisi kati na Isalaele mobimba, longwa na Beri-Sheba kino na Dani, mpo na kosenga na bato nyonso ete baya kosepela feti ya Pasika, na Yelusalemi mpo na lokumu ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele. Pamba te bato moke kaka basepelaki yango kolanda ndenge ekomama kati na makomi.
6 And the posts went with the letters from the king and the princes to all Israel and Juda, according to the command of the king, saying, Children of Israel, return to the Lord God of Abraam, and Isaac, and Israel, and bring back them that have escaped [even] those that were left of the hand of the king of Assyria.
Na etinda ya mokonzi, bamemi sango bakendeki kati na Isalaele mobimba mpe Yuda, na mikanda oyo ewutaki epai ya mokonzi mpe bakalaka na ye. Tala makambo oyo ezalaki kati na mikanda yango: « Bana ya Isalaele, bozongela Yawe, Nzambe ya Abrayami, ya Izaki mpe ya Isalaele, mpo ete Ye mpe azongela bino oyo bobiki na maboko ya bakonzi ya mboka Asiri!
7 And be not as your fathers, and your brethren, who revolted from the Lord God of their fathers, and he gave them up to desolation, as you see.
Bozala te lokola batata mpe bandeko na bino oyo bazangaki boyengebene liboso ya Yawe, Nzambe ya batata na bango. Yango wana asalaki ete babebisama ndenge bozali komona.
8 And now harden not your hearts, as your fathers [did]: give glory to the Lord God, and enter into his sanctuary, which he has sanctified for ever: and serve the Lord your God, and he shall turn away [his] fierce anger from you.
Bozala moto makasi te lokola batata na bino; bomipesa epai na Yawe, boya na Esika ya bule oyo Ye moko abulisi mpo na libela mpe bosalela Yawe, Nzambe na bino, mpo ete kanda makasi na Ye ezala mosika na bino!
9 For when you turn to the Lord, your brethren and your children shall be pitied before all that have carried them captives, and he will restore [you] to this land: for the Lord our God is merciful and pitiful, and will not turn away his face from you, if we return to him.
Soki solo bozongeli Yawe, bandeko mpe bana na bino oyo bakendeki na bowumbu bakozwa ngolu liboso ya bato oyo bakangaki bango, mpe bakozonga na mokili oyo; pamba te Yawe, Nzambe na bino, atonda na ngolu mpe na mawa. Solo, soki bozongeli Ye, akobalola te elongi na Ye mosika na bino. »
10 So the posts went through from city to city in mount Ephraim, and Manasse, and as far as Zabulon: and they as it were laughed them to scorn, and mocked them.
Bamemi sango batambolaki kati na bingumba nyonso ya Efrayimi mpe ya Manase kino na Zabuloni. Kasi bato bazalaki koseka mpe kotiola bango.
11 But the men of Aser, and [some] of Manasses and of Zabulon, were ashamed, and came to Jerusalem and Juda.
Nzokande, ndambo ya bato ya Aseri, ya Manase mpe ya Zabuloni bamikitisaki mpe bakendeki na Yelusalemi.
12 And the hand of the Lord was [present] to give them one heart to come, to do according to the commands of the king and of the princes, by the word of the Lord.
Kati na mokili ya Yuda, loboko ya Nzambe ezalaki kosala na nguya makasi epai ya bato, mpo na kopesa bango bomoko na molimo mpo na kotosa mitindo ya mokonzi mpe ya bakalaka na ye, kolandisama na Liloba na Yawe.
13 And a great multitude were gathered to Jerusalem to keep the feast of unleavened bread in the second month, a very great congregation.
Bato ebele basanganaki na Yelusalemi mpo na kosepela feti ya Mapa ezanga levire, na sanza ya mibale: bazalaki penza ebele ya bato.
14 And they arose, and took away the altars that were in Jerusalem, and all on which they burnt incense to false [gods] they tore down and cast into the brook Kedron.
Babukaki bitumbelo kati na Yelusalemi mpe balimwisaki bambabola nyonso ya malasi na kobwaka yango na lubwaku ya Sedron.
15 Then they killed the passover on the fourteenth day of the second month: and the priests and the Levites repented, and purified [themselves], and brought whole burnt offerings into the house of the Lord.
Bakataki kingo ya mpate mpo na mbeka ya Pasika na mokolo ya zomi na minei ya sanza ya mibale. Banganga-Nzambe elongo na Balevi bayokaki soni, bamibulisaki mpe babonzaki bambeka ya kotumba kati na Tempelo ya Yawe.
16 And they stood at their post, according to their ordinance, according to the commandment of Moses the man of God: and the priests received the blood from the hand of the Levites.
Bazongelaki misala na bango ndenge ekomama na mibeko ya Moyize, moto na Nzambe. Balevi bazalaki kopesa makila ya bambeka epai ya Banganga-Nzambe; mpe bango, Banganga-Nzambe, bazalaki kosopa yango na etumbelo.
17 For a great part of the congregation was not sanctified; and the Levites were [ready] to kill the passover for every one who could not sanctify himself to the Lord.
Lokola bato mingi kati na lisanga bamibulisaki te, Balevi bazwaki mokumba ya kokata bakingo ya bampate ya Pasika mpo na bato wana nyonso oyo bazalaki peto te; mpe na bongo, bakokaki te kobulisa bampate na bango epai na Yawe.
18 For the greatest part of the people of Ephraim, and Manasse, and Issachar, and Zabulon, had not purified [themselves], but ate the passover contrary to the scripture. On this account also Ezekias prayed concerning them, saying,
Atako bato ebele oyo bawutaki na Manase, na Efrayimi, na Isakari mpe na Zabuloni bamipetolaki te, kasi baliaki Pasika na kozanga kolanda oyo ekomama. Yango wana Ezekiasi abondelaki boye mpo na bango: « Yawe, Yo oyo ozali malamu, tika ete olimbisa
19 The good Lord be merciful with regard to every heart that sincerely seeks the Lord God of their fathers, and [is] not [purified] according to the purification of the sanctuary.
moto nyonso oyo amipesi na koluka Nzambe, Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na ye, na motema na ye mobimba atako amipetolaki te kolanda mibeko ya Esika ya bule! »
20 And the Lord listened to Ezekias, and healed the people.
Yawe ayokaki libondeli ya Ezekiasi mpe abetaki bato te.
21 And the children of Israel who were present in Jerusalem kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days with great joy; and they continued to sing hymns to the Lord daily, and the priests and the Levites [played] on instruments to the Lord.
Boye bato ya Isalaele oyo bazalaki na Yelusalemi basepelaki mikolo sambo mpe na esengo makasi feti ya Mapa ezanga levire wana Balevi mpe Banganga-Nzambe bazalaki kokumisa Yawe mikolo nyonso na kobeta makasi bibetelo mindule na bango mpo na lokumu ya Yawe.
22 And Ezekias encouraged all the Levites, and those that had good understanding of the Lord: and they completely kept the feast of unleavened bread seven days, offering peace-offerings, and confessing to the Lord God of their fathers.
Ezekiasi alendisaki Balevi nyonso oyo balakisaki ete bayebi malamu mosala ya Yawe. Na mikolo sambo ya feti, baliaki misuni ya bambeka, babonzaki bambeka ya boyokani mpe basanzolaki Yawe, Nzambe ya bakoko na bango.
23 And the congregation purposed together to keep other seven days: and they kept seven days with gladness.
Lisanga mobimba eyokanaki kobakisa mikolo mosusu sambo mpo na kokoba kosepela feti. Boye, basalaki feti na esengo na mikolo yango sambo.
24 For Ezekias set apart for Juda, [even] for the congregation, a thousand calves and seven thousand sheep; and the princes set apart for the people a thousand calves and ten thousand sheep: and the holy things of the priests abundantly.
Ezekiasi, mokonzi ya Yuda, apesaki mpo na lisanga bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto sambo; mpe bakalaka bapesaki mpo na lisanga bangombe ya mibali nkoto moko, bameme mpe bantaba nkoto zomi. Banganga-Nzambe ebele bamibulisaki.
25 And all the congregation, the priests and the Levites, rejoiced, and all the congregation of Juda, and they that were present of Jerusalem, and the strangers that came from the land of Israel, and the dwellers in Juda.
Lisanga mobimba ya Yuda, Banganga-Nzambe, Balevi, bato nyonso ya Isalaele mpe bapaya oyo bawutaki na Isalaele to bavandi ya Yuda bazalaki na esengo.
26 And there was great joy in Jerusalem: from the days of Solomon the son of David king of Israel there was not such a feast in Jerusalem.
Esengo ezalaki makasi kati na Yelusalemi, pamba te wuta na tango ya Salomo, mwana mobali ya Davidi, mokonzi ya Isalaele, likambo ya boye etikala nanu kosalema te kati na Yelusalemi.
27 Then the priests the Levites rose up and blessed the people: and their voice was heard, and their prayer came into his holy dwelling-place, [even] into heaven.
Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi batelemaki mpo na kopambola bato, mpe Nzambe ayokaki bango mpo ete losambo na bango ekomaki kino na Likolo, evandelo na Ye ya bule.
