Esidrasi 1
1 Na mobu ya liboso ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, Yawe alamusaki molimo ya Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, mpo na kokokisa liloba oyo alobaki na nzela ya mosakoli Jeremi, mpo ete asakola mpe akoma boye kati na mokili na ye mobimba:
Now in the first year of Cyrus king of Persia, that the word of the LORD by the mouth of Jeremiah might be fulfilled, the LORD stirred up the spirit of Cyrus king of Persia, that he made a proclamation throughout all his kingdom, and put it also in writing, saying,
2 « Tala makambo oyo Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, alobi: ‹ Yawe, Nzambe ya Likolo, apesi ngai babokonzi nyonso ya mabele mpe mokumba ya kotongela Ye Tempelo, na Yelusalemi kati na Yuda.
Thus says Cyrus king of Persia, The LORD God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the earth; and he has charged me to build him an house at Jerusalem, which is in Judah.
3 Tika ete moto nyonso oyo, kati na bino, azali na molongo ya bato ya Yawe akende na Yelusalemi kati na Yuda mpo na kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, Nzambe ya Isalaele, oyo azali Nzambe kati na Yelusalemi!
Who is there among you of all his people? his God be with him, and let him go up to Jerusalem, which is in Judah, and build the house of the LORD God of Israel, (he is the God, ) which is in Jerusalem.
4 Tika ete bavandi ya bisika nyonso oyo bato ya Yuda bazali bapesa bango, mpo na Ndako ya Nzambe oyo ezali na Yelusalemi, makabo oyo: palata, wolo, bibwele, biloko ya ndenge na ndenge mpe makabo oyo bakati bango moko kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango. › »
And whosoever remains in any place where he sojourns, let the men of his place help him with silver, and with gold, and with goods, and with beasts, beside the freewill offering for the house of God that is in Jerusalem.
5 Bongo bakambi ya mabota ya Yuda mpe ya Benjame, Banganga-Nzambe mpe Balevi, elongo na moto nyonso oyo Nzambe atutaki motema babongamaki mpo na kokende kotonga Tempelo ya Yawe, na Yelusalemi.
Then rose up the chief of the fathers of Judah and Benjamin, and the priests, and the Levites, with all them whose spirit God had raised, to go up to build the house of the LORD which is in Jerusalem.
6 Bato nyonso oyo bazalaki zingazinga na bango basungaki bango; bapesaki biloko esalema na palata mpe na wolo, bibwele, biloko ya ndenge na ndenge, bakado ya talo mpe makabo oyo bakataki bango moko kopesa wuta na mokano ya mitema na bango.
And all they that were about them strengthened their hands with vessels of silver, with gold, with goods, and with beasts, and with precious things, beside all that was willingly offered.
7 Mokonzi Sirisi abimisaki biloko ya Tempelo ya Yawe, oyo Nabukodonozori amemaki wuta na Yelusalemi mpo na kotia yango kati na tempelo ya nzambe na ye.
Also Cyrus the king brought forth the vessels of the house of the LORD, which Nebuchadnezzar had brought forth out of Jerusalem, and had put them in the house of his gods;
8 Sirisi, mokonzi ya Persi, atindaki Mitredati, mobombi bozwi na ye, ete abimisa, atanga mpe apesa yango epai ya Sheshibatsari, moto ya libota ya bakambi ya Yuda.
Even those did Cyrus king of Persia bring forth by the hand of Mithredath the treasurer, and numbered them unto Sheshbazzar, the prince of Judah.
9 Tala biloko yango mpe motango na yango: bakopo ya wolo ezalaki tuku misato; bakopo ya palata ezalaki nkoto moko; basani ya mbele ya palata ezalaki tuku mibale na libwa;
And this is the number of them: thirty chargers of gold, a thousand chargers of silver, nine and twenty knives,
10 basani ya wolo ezalaki tuku misato; basani minene ya palata ezalaki nkama minei na zomi; biloko mosusu ezalaki nkoto moko.
Thirty basons of gold, silver basons of a second sort four hundred and ten, and other vessels a thousand.
11 Motango ya biloko nyonso ya wolo mpe ya palata ezalaki nkoto mitano na nkama minei. Sheshibatsari amemaki biloko yango nyonso tango bato oyo bakendeki na bowumbu balongwaki na Babiloni mpo na kozonga na Yelusalemi.
All the vessels of gold and of silver were five thousand and four hundred. All these did Sheshbazzar bring up with them of the captivity that were brought up from Babylon unto Jerusalem.
