Genesis 28
1 Isaac called Jacob, blessed him, and commanded him, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Bongo Izaki abengaki Jakobi, apambolaki ye mpe apesaki ye mitindo oyo: « Okobala mwasi te kati na bana basi ya Kanana.
2 Arise, go to Paddan Aram, to the house of Bethuel your mother’s father. Take a wife from there from the daughters of Laban, your mother’s brother.
Telema! Kende mbala moko na Padani-Arami, na ndako ya koko na yo, Betweli, tata ya mama na yo. Zwa mwasi kuna kati na bana basi ya Labani, ndeko ya mama na yo.
3 May God Almighty bless you, and make you fruitful, and multiply you, that you may be a company of peoples,
Tika ete Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso apambola yo, apesa yo bana, akomisa bana na yo ebele mpe okoma lisanga monene ya bato.
4 and give you the blessing of Abraham, to you and to your offspring with you, that you may inherit the land where you travel, which God gave to Abraham.”
Tika ete apesa na yo mpe na bakitani na yo lipamboli oyo apesaki na Abrayami mpo ete okamata mokili oyo ozali kovanda lokola mopaya, mokili oyo Nzambe apesaki na Abrayami. »
5 Isaac sent Jacob away. He went to Paddan Aram to Laban, son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebekah, Jacob’s and Esau’s mother.
Izaki atindaki Jakobi na nzela na ye, mpe Jakobi akendeki na Padani-Arami epai ya Labani, mwana mobali ya moto ya Arami, Betweli, mpe ndeko mobali ya Rebeka, mama ya Ezawu mpe Jakobi.
6 Now Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob and sent him away to Paddan Aram, to take him a wife from there, and that as he blessed him he gave him a command, saying, “You shall not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;”
Ezawu ayokaki ete Izaki apambolaki Jakobi mpe atindaki ye na Padani-Arami mpo na kobala mwasi; ayokaki mpe ete, tango apambolaki ye, apesaki ye mitindo oyo: « Okobala mwasi te kati na bana basi ya Kanana. »
7 and that Jacob obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Paddan Aram.
Jakobi atosaki tata na ye mpe mama na ye, mpe akendeki na Padani-Arami.
8 Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan did not please Isaac, his father.
Bongo Ezawu asosolaki ete Izaki, tata na ye, azalaki kosepela te na bana basi ya Kanana.
9 So Esau went to Ishmael, and took, in addition to the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael, Abraham’s son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Boye Ezawu akendeki epai ya Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Abrayami, mpe abalaki, kobakisa na basi oyo azalaki na bango, Maalati, ndeko mwasi ya Nebayoti.
10 Jacob went out from Beersheba, and went toward Haran.
Jakobi alongwaki na Beri-Sheba mpe akendeki na Arani.
11 He came to a certain place, and stayed there all night, because the sun had set. He took one of the stones of the place, and put it under his head, and lay down in that place to sleep.
Tango akomaki na esika moko, apemaki mpo na kolekisa butu. Azwaki libanga moko kati na mabanga oyo ezalaki na esika yango, atiaki yango na se ya moto na ye mpe alalaki.
12 He dreamed and saw a stairway set upon the earth, and its top reached to heaven. Behold, the angels of God were ascending and descending on it.
Na se ya pongi, alotaki ndoto: Amonaki ematelo moko ebanda na mabele mpe songe na yango etutaki likolo. Ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bazalaki komata mpe kokita na ematelo yango.
13 Behold, the LORD stood above it, and said, “I am the LORD, the God of Abraham your father, and the God of Isaac. I will give the land you lie on to you and to your offspring.
Mpe Yawe atelemaki likolo ya ematelo mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Yawe, Nzambe ya koko na yo Abrayami mpe Nzambe ya Izaki. Nakopesa epai na yo mpe na bana na yo mabele oyo, esika olali.
14 Your offspring will be as the dust of the earth, and you will spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south. In you and in your offspring, all the families of the earth will be blessed.
Bana na yo bakozala ebele lokola putulu ya mabele, bakopanzana na bangambo nyonso: wuta na weste kino na este, wuta na nor kino na sude. Mabota nyonso ya mokili ekomipambola mpo na yo mpe mpo na bakitani na yo.
15 Behold, I am with you, and will keep you, wherever you go, and will bring you again into this land. For I will not leave you until I have done that which I have spoken of to you.”
Nazali elongo na yo, nakobatela yo bisika nyonso oyo okokende mpe nakozongisa yo na mabele oyo, nakotika yo te kino nakokokisa makambo nyonso oyo nalakaki yo. »
16 Jacob awakened out of his sleep, and he said, “Surely the LORD is in this place, and I did not know it.”
Tango Jakobi alamukaki na pongi, alobaki: « Ya solo penza, Yawe azali na esika oyo mpe ngai nayebaki yango te! »
17 He was afraid, and said, “How awesome this place is! This is none other than God’s house, and this is the gate of heaven.”
Jakobi abangaki mpe abakisaki: « Oyo esika ya somo boye! Ekoki kozala eloko mosusu te, bobele Ndako ya Nzambe. Awa nde ekuke ya lola. »
18 Jacob rose up early in the morning, and took the stone that he had put under his head, and set it up for a pillar, and poured oil on its top.
Na tongo-tongo, Jakobi azwaki libanga oyo atiaki moto, atelemisaki yango lokola elembo mpe asopaki mafuta na songe na yango.
19 He called the name of that place Bethel, but the name of the city was Luz at the first.
Apesaki esika yango kombo « Beteli. » Na kala, bazalaka kobenga esika yango « Luze. »
20 Jacob vowed a vow, saying, “If God will be with me, and will keep me in this way that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and clothing to put on,
Bongo Jakobi akataki ndayi na koloba: « Soki Nzambe akozala elongo na ngai mpe akobatela ngai na mobembo oyo nazali kosala, mpe soki akopesa ngai bilei mpe bilamba ya kolata;
21 so that I come again to my father’s house in peace, and the LORD will be my God,
soki nazongi na kimia na ndako ya tata na ngai, wana Yawe akozala Nzambe na ngai,
22 then this stone, which I have set up for a pillar, will be God’s house. Of all that you will give me I will surely give a tenth to you.”
libanga oyo natelemisi lokola elembo ekokoma Ndako ya Nzambe mpe nakopesa Ye eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo akopesa ngai. »
