< Genesis 27 >
1 And it came to pass, that when Isaac was old, and his eyes were dim, so that he could not see, he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son. And he said to him, Here I am.
Tango Izaki akomaki mobange mpe miso na ye ezalaki komona lisusu malamu te, abengaki Ezawu, mwana na ye ya liboso ya mobali. Alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai! Ezawu azongisaki: — Ngai oyo!
2 And he said, Behold now, I am old, I know not the day of my death.
Izaki alobaki: — Nakomi mobange mpe nayebi mokolo ya kufa na ngai te.
3 Now therefore take, I pray thee, thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field, and take venison for me.
Yango wana, zwa sik’oyo mandoki na yo ya bokila, saki ya bokila mpe tolotolo; kende na zamba mpe bomela ngai nyama.
4 And make savory food for me, such as I love, and bring it to me, that I may eat, that my soul may bless thee before I die.
Okolambela ngai elubu ya kitoko ndenge nalingaka mpe okomemela ngai yango; nakolia mpo ete napambola yo liboso ete nakufa.
5 And Rebekah heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt for venison, and to bring it.
Nzokande, Rebeka azalaki koyoka makambo oyo Izaki azalaki koyebisa mwana na ye Ezawu. Tango Ezawu akendeki na zamba mpo na koboma nyama mpe kozonga na yango,
6 And Rebekah spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,
Rebeka ayebisaki Jakobi, mwana na ye ya mibale: — Tala, nayokaki tata na yo koyebisa Ezawu, ndeko na yo:
7 Bring venison for me, and make savory food for me, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah before my death.
« Memela ngai nyama! Okolambela ngai elubu ya kitoko, mpe nakolia yango mpo ete napambola yo na miso ya Yawe liboso ete nakufa. »
8 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice according to that which I command thee.
Mwana na ngai, yoka ngai malamu sik’oyo mpe sala makambo oyo nakoyebisa yo:
9 Go now to the flock, and fetch me two good kids of the goats from there. And I will make them savory food for thy father, such as he loves.
Kende na etonga ya bibwele mpe pona bana ntaba mibale mpe memela ngai yango mpo ete nalambela tata na yo elubu ya kitoko ndenge alingaka.
10 And thou shall bring it to thy father, that he may eat, so that he may bless thee before his death.
Bongo, okomemela yango tata na yo; akolia yango mpo ete apambola yo liboso ete akufa.
11 And Jacob said to Rebekah his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Jakobi azongiselaki Rebeka, mama na ye: — Ezawu, ndeko na ngai, azali na bapwale ebele na nzoto, kasi ngai nazali na yango te.
12 My father will perhaps feel me, and I shall seem to him as a deceiver. And I shall bring a curse upon me, and not a blessing.
Soki tata na ngai asimbi ngai, akososola ete nalingi kokosa ye; wana nakomibendela bilakeli mabe na esika ete napambolama.
13 And his mother said to him, Upon me be thy curse, my son. Only obey my voice, and go fetch them for me.
Mama na ye alobaki: — Mwana na ngai, tika ete bilakeli mabe yango ekweya likolo na ngai; yo, sala kaka makambo oyo ngai nayebisi yo.
14 And he went, and fetched, and brought them to his mother. And his mother made savory food, such as his father loved.
Boye Jakobi akendeki, azwaki bana ntaba mpe amemaki yango epai ya mama na ye, mpe mama na ye alambaki elubu ya kitoko ndenge tata na ye azalaki kolinga.
15 And Rebekah took the goodly garments of Esau her elder son, which were with her in the house, and put them upon Jacob her younger son.
Bongo Rebeka azwaki na ndako, bilamba oyo elekaki kitoko kati na bilamba ya Ezawu, mwana na ye ya liboso, mpe alatisaki yango Jakobi, mwana na ye ya suka.
16 And she put the skins of the kids of the goats upon his hands, and upon the smooth of his neck.
Azipaki ye maboko mpe kingo na poso ya bana ntaba.
17 And she gave the savory food and the bread, which she had prepared, into the hand of her son Jacob.
Bongo Rebeka apesaki na maboko ya Jakobi, mwana na ye, elubu ya kitoko mpe lipa oyo alambaki.
18 And he came to his father, and said, My father. And he said, Here I am. Who are thou, my son?
Jakobi akendeki epai ya tata na ye mpe alobaki: — Tata na ngai! Izaki azongisaki: — Ngai oyo, mwana na ngai; yo nani?
19 And Jacob said to his father, I am Esau thy firstborn. I have done according as thou bade me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Jakobi alobaki na tata na ye: — Nazali Ezawu, mwana na yo ya liboso. Nasali ndenge oyebisaki ngai. Nabondeli yo, lamuka, vanda mpe lia nyama, mpo ete opambola ngai.
20 And Isaac said to his son, How is it that thou have found it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God sent me good speed.
Izaki atunaki mwana na ye: — Mwana na ngai, osali ndenge nini mpo ete ozwa nyama noki? Jakobi azongisaki: — Ezali Yawe, Nzambe na yo, nde atindaki yango na nzela na ngai.
21 And Isaac said to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be my very son Esau or not.
Izaki alobaki na Jakobi: — Mwana na ngai, pusana pembeni na ngai mpo ete nasimba yo mpe nayeba soki ozali solo mwana na ngai Ezawu.
22 And Jacob went near to Isaac his father. And he felt him, and said, The voice is Jacob's voice, but the hands are the hands of Esau.
Jakobi akendeki pembeni na ye, bongo Izaki asimbaki ye mpe alobaki: — Mongongo ezali ya Jakobi, kasi maboko ezali ya Ezawu.
23 And he did not discern him, because his hands were hairy as his brother Esau's hands. So he blessed him.
Tata na ye ayebaki ye te, pamba te maboko ya Jakobi ezalaki na bapwale lokola ya Ezawu, ndeko na ye; boye apambolaki ye.
24 And he said, Are thou my very son Esau? And he said, I am.
Kasi liboso, atunaki ye: — Ozali penza mwana na ngai Ezawu? Jakobi azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali ngai solo.
25 And he said, Bring it near to me, and I will eat of my son's venison, that my soul may bless thee. And he brought it near to him, and he ate. And he brought wine to him, and he drank.
Izaki alobaki: — Mwana na ngai, memela ngai nyama na yo mpo ete nalia mpe napambola yo. Jakobi amemelaki ye nyama, mpe Izaki aliaki. Amemelaki ye lisusu masanga ya vino mpe amelaki.
26 And his father Isaac said to him, Come near now, and kiss me, my son.
Sima, tata na ye, Izaki, alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, yaka awa mpe pesa ngai beze.
27 And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelled the smell of his raiment, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field that Jehovah has blessed.
Jakobi akendeki mpe apesaki ye beze. Tango Izaki ayokaki solo ya bilamba na ye, apambolaki ye na maloba oyo: « Ah! Solo ya mwana na ngai ezali lokola solo ya bilanga oyo Yawe apamboli.
28 And God give thee of the dew of heaven, and of the fatness of the earth, and plenty of grain and new wine.
Tika ete Nzambe apesa yo mvula ya likolo mpe mabele ya bozwi; apesa yo mbuma ya ble mpe vino ebele penza!
29 Let peoples serve thee, and nations bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brothers, and let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be he who curses thee, and blessed be he who blesses thee.
Tika ete bikolo esalela yo, bato bafukamela yo! Zala mokonzi ya bandeko na yo ya mibali, mpe tika ete bana mibali ya mama na yo bafukama liboso na yo! Tika ete moto oyo akolakela yo mabe alakelama mabe; tika ete moto oyo akopambola yo apambolama! »
30 And it came to pass, as soon as Isaac had made an end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob was yet scarcely gone out from the presence of Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came in from his hunting.
Tango Izaki asilisaki kopambola ye, Jakobi atikaki tata na ye; bongo ndeko na ye, Ezawu, azongaki wuta na bokila.
31 And he also made savory food, and brought it to his father. And he said to his father, Let my father arise, and eat of his son's venison, that thy soul may bless me.
Ye mpe alambaki elubu mpe amemaki yango epai ya tata na ye. Alobaki na ye: — Tata na ngai, telema mpe lia nyama na ngai mpo ete opambola ngai.
32 And Isaac his father said to him, Who are thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
Tata na ye, Izaki, atunaki ye: — Yo nani? Azongisaki: — Ngai Ezawu, mwana na yo ya liboso.
33 And Isaac trembled very exceedingly, and said, Who then is he who has taken venison, and brought it me, and I have eaten of all before thou came, and have blessed him? Yea, he shall be blessed.
Bongo Izaki alengaki makasi mpe alobaki: — Nani wana abomaki nyama mpe amemelaki ngai yango? Naliaki yango liboso ete yo oya, mpe napambolaki ye. Boye apambolami solo!
34 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with an exceedingly great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me, even me also, O my father.
Tango Ezawu ayokaki maloba ya tata na ye, atombolaki mongongo makasi mpe agangaki. Alobaki na tata na ye: — Ah! Tata na ngai, pambola ngai, pambola ngai mpe lokola!
35 And he said, Thy brother came with guile, and has taken away thy blessing.
Izaki alobaki: — Ndeko na yo ayaki na mayele mabe, ayibi mapamboli na yo.
36 And he said, Is not he rightly name Jacob? For he has supplanted me these two times. He took away my birthright, and, behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have thou not reserved a blessing for me?
Ezawu alobaki: — Mpo ete kombo na ye ezali « Jakobi, » yango wana akosi ngai mbala mibale? Ya liboso, azwaki boyaya na ngai, mpe tala sik’oyo azwi lisusu mapamboli na ngai! Bongo atunaki: — Boni, obombelaki ngai mapamboli te?
37 And Isaac answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him thy lord, and all his brothers I have given to him for servants, and I have sustained him with grain and new wine. And what then shall I do for thee, my son?
Izaki azongiselaki Ezawu: — Tala, nakomisi ye nkolo na yo mpe napesi ye bandeko na ye nyonso lokola basali; napesi ye ble mpe vino. Mwana na ngai, nasala lisusu nini mpo na yo?
38 And Esau said to his father, Have thou but one blessing, my father? Bless me, even me also, O my father. And Esau lifted up his voice, and wept.
Ezawu alobaki na tata na ye: — Tata na ngai, ozalaki kaka na lipamboli moko wana? Tata na ngai, pambola ngai mpe! Ezawu atombolaki mongongo na ye mpe alelaki makasi.
39 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, of the fatness of the earth shall be thy dwelling, and of the dew of heaven from above.
Tata na ye, Izaki, alobaki na ye: — Okovanda mosika ya mabele oyo ebotaka malamu, mpe mosika ya mvula ya likolo.
40 And by thy sword thou shall live, and thou shall serve thy brother. And it shall come to pass, when thou shall break loose, that thou shall shake his yoke from off thy neck.
Okobika na nzela ya mopanga na yo mpe okosalela ndeko na yo ya mobali. Kasi tango okotambola bipai na bipai, okobuka ekangiseli oyo akotia yo na kingo.
41 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand. Then I will kill my brother Jacob.
Ezawu ayinaki Jakobi likolo ya mapamboli oyo azwaki epai ya tata na ye mpe amilobelaki: « Etikali moke tata na ngai akufa; bongo nakoboma ndeko na ngai Jakobi. »
42 And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebekah. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau comforts himself concerning thee, to kill thee.
Tango Rebeka asosolaki makanisi ya Ezawu, mwana na ye ya liboso, abengaki Jakobi, mwana na ye ya suka, mpe alobaki na ye: « Tala, Ezawu, ndeko na yo, azali koluka koboma yo.
43 Now therefore, my son, obey my voice, and arise, flee thou to Laban my brother to Haran.
Mwana na ngai, yoka ngai sik’oyo mpe sala makambo oyo nazali koyebisa yo: ‹ Longwa awa mpe kima na mboka Arani, epai ya ndeko na ngai Labani.
44 And tarry with him a few days, until thy brother's fury turns away,
Vanda mwa mikolo epai na ye kino kanda ya ndeko na yo ekosila.
45 until thy brother's anger turns away from thee, and he forgets that which thou have done to him. Then I will send, and fetch thee from there. Why should I be bereaved of you both in one day?
Tango kanda na ye ekosila mpe akobosana makambo oyo osalaki ye, nakotindela yo maloba mpo ete olongwa kuna mpe ozonga. Mpo na nini nazanga bino mibale mokolo moko? › »
46 And Rebekah said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob takes a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good shall my life do me?
Rebeka akendeki koyebisa Izaki: « Nalembi mokili likolo ya basi oyo ya mokili ya Iti. Soki Jakobi abali mwasi kati na bana basi ya mokili oyo, tina nazala na bomoi ekozala lisusu te. »
