Assuming the "pendant" is a standard ceiling rose then the red wires go into the 3 terminals marked "LOOP"
the 2 blacks that were together go into 2 of the 3 terminals marked "N" with the blue from the pendant in the third..
the black that was on it's own should have some red sleeving ( or tape at a push.. ) on it and goes in one of the 2 terminals marked as "L" or "SW" with the brown from the pendant into the other terminal..
the earths should be sleeved with green and yellow sleeving ( no tape this time.. ) and go into the large brass terminal on it's own..
