Genesis 33
1 Jacob lifted up his eyes, and looked, and, behold, Esau was coming, and with him four hundred men. He divided the children between Leah, Rachel, and the two servants.
Tango Jakobi atombolaki miso na ye, amonaki na mosika Ezawu koya elongo na bato nkama minei. Boye Jakobi akabolaki bana na ye: ndambo epai ya Lea, ndambo epai ya Rasheli mpe ndambo mosusu epai ya basali mibale ya basi.
2 He put the servants and their children in front, Leah and her children after, and Rachel and Joseph at the rear.
Atiaki basali ya basi elongo na bana na bango na liboso; Lea mpe bana na ye na sima; mpe Rasheli na Jozefi na suka.
3 He himself passed over in front of them, and bowed himself to the ground seven times, until he came near to his brother.
Ye moko alekaki liboso na bango mpe afukamaki na mabele mbala sambo wana azalaki kopusana liboso ya ndeko na ye ya mobali.
4 Esau ran to meet him, embraced him, fell on his neck, kissed him, and they wept.
Ezawu akimaki mbangu mpo na kokutana na ye; ayambaki ye, amibwakaki na nzoto na ye mpo na koyamba ye mpe apesaki ye beze; bongo bakomaki kolela.
5 He lifted up his eyes, and saw the women and the children; and said, “Who are these with you?” He said, “The children whom God has graciously given your servant.”
Tango atombolaki miso na ye, amonaki na mosika basi mpe bana. Atunaki: — Banani wana bazali elongo na yo? Jakobi azongisaki: — Ezali bana oyo Nzambe apesi, na bolingo na Ye, epai ya mosali na yo.
6 Then the servants came near with their children, and they bowed themselves.
Boye, basali ya basi elongo na bana na bango bapusanaki mpe bafukamaki.
7 Leah also and her children came near, and bowed themselves. After them, Joseph came near with Rachel, and they bowed themselves.
Na sima, Lea elongo na bana na ye bayaki kofukama. Bongo na suka, Jozefi elongo na Rasheli bayaki mpe kofukama.
8 Esau said, “What do you mean by all this company which I met?” Jacob said, “To find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Ezawu atunaki: — Ngulupa nyonso oyo nakutani na yango, tina na yango nini? Jakobi azongisaki: — Ezali mpo ete nazwa ngolu na miso na yo, nkolo na ngai.
9 Esau said, “I have enough, my brother; let that which you have be yours.”
Kasi Ezawu azongisaki: — Ndeko na ngai, biloko nyonso oyo, nazali na yango ebele; bomba biloko na yo mpo na yo moko.
10 Jacob said, “Please, no, if I have now found favor in your sight, then receive my present at my hand, because I have seen your face, as one sees the face of God, and you were pleased with me.
Jakobi alobaki: — Nabondeli yo: soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, ndima kozwa biloko oyo lokola kado kowuta na maboko na ngai; pamba te ndenge namoni yo, ezali lokola namoni Nzambe, mpo ete oyambi ngai na boboto.
11 Please take the gift that I brought to you, because God has dealt graciously with me, and because I have enough.” He urged him, and he took it.
Nabondeli yo penza, ndima makabo oyo namemeli yo; pamba te Nzambe nde apesaki ngai yango na ngolu na Ye mpe nazali na nyonso. Lokola Jakobi azalaki kaka kotia molende, Ezawu andimaki kozwa yango.
12 Esau said, “Let’s take our journey, and let’s go, and I will go before you.”
Ezawu alobaki: — Telema tokende, nakotambola na yo nzela moko.
13 Jacob said to him, “My lord knows that the children are tender, and that the flocks and herds with me have their young, and if they overdrive them one day, all the flocks will die.
Kasi Jakobi azongiselaki ye: — Oh nkolo na ngai! Oyebi malamu ete bana bazwi nanu makasi te, mpe nazali lisusu na bameme, bangombe mpe bantaba ya basi oyo ezali nanu komelisa mabele. Soki tomeki kotambolisa yango mbangu makasi kaka na mokolo moko, bibwele nyonso ekokufa.
14 Please let my lord pass over before his servant, and I will lead on gently, according to the pace of the livestock that are before me and according to the pace of the children, until I come to my lord to Seir.”
Boye, tika ete nkolo na ngai akende liboso, wana ngai nakotambola malembe-malembe na sima, kolanda etamboli ya bibwele oyo ezali liboso na ngai, mpe kolanda etamboli ya bana, kino nakokoma epai ya nkolo na ngai, na Seiri.
15 Esau said, “Let me now leave with you some of the people who are with me.” He said, “Why? Let me find favor in the sight of my lord.”
Ezawu alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, ndima ete natikela yo ndambo ya bato na ngai. Kasi Jakobi atunaki: — Mpo na nini kosala bongo? Tika ete nazwa kaka ngolu na miso ya nkolo na ngai!
16 So Esau returned that day on his way to Seir.
Boye, kaka na mokolo wana, Ezawu azwaki nzela mpe azongaki na Seiri.
17 Jacob traveled to Succoth, built himself a house, and made shelters for his livestock. Therefore the name of the place is called Succoth.
Nzokande, Jakobi akendeki na Sukoti. Atongaki kuna ndako mpo na ye moko mpe mpo na bibwele na ye; yango wana babengi esika yango Sukoti.
18 Jacob came in peace to the city of Shechem, which is in the land of Canaan, when he came from Paddan Aram; and encamped before the city.
Longwa na mokili ya Padani-Arami, Jakobi akomaki na kimia na engumba Sishemi oyo ezali na mokili ya Kanana; mpe atelemisaki ndako na ye ya kapo liboso ya engumba.
19 He bought the parcel of ground where he had spread his tent, at the hand of the children of Hamor, Shechem’s father, for one hundred pieces of money.
Na motuya ya bibende ya palata nkama moko, asombaki na maboko ya bana mibali ya Amori, tata ya Sishemi, eteni ya mabele epai wapi atongaki ndako na ye ya kapo.
20 He erected an altar there, and called it El Elohe Israel.
Atongaki kuna etumbelo moko oyo abengaki: « El, Nzambe ya Isalaele. »
