< Genesis 27 >

1 Now when Isaac was old and his eyes had become clouded so that he was not able to see, he sent for Esau, his first son, and said to him, My son: and he said, Here am I.
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, See now, I am old, and my death may take place at any time:
Izaki alobaki: — Nakomi mobange mpe nayebi mokolo ya kufa na ngai te.
3 So take your arrows and your bow and go out to the field and get meat 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 me food, good to the taste, such as is pleasing to me, and put it before me, so that I may have a meal and give you my blessing before death comes to me.
Okolambela ngai elubu ya kitoko ndenge nalingaka mpe okomemela ngai yango; nakolia mpo ete napambola yo liboso ete nakufa.
5 Now Isaac's words to his son were said in Rebekah's hearing. Then Esau went out to get the meat.
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 said to Jacob, her son, Your father said to your brother Esau in my hearing,
Rebeka ayebisaki Jakobi, mwana na ye ya mibale: — Tala, nayokaki tata na yo koyebisa Ezawu, ndeko na yo:
7 Go and get some roe's meat and make me a good meal, so that I may be full, and give you my blessing before the Lord 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, my son, do what I say.
Mwana na ngai, yoka ngai malamu sik’oyo mpe sala makambo oyo nakoyebisa yo:
9 Go to the flock and get me two fat young goats; and I will make of them a meal to your father's taste:
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 you will take it to him, so that he may have a good meal and give you his blessing 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, But Esau my brother is covered with hair, while I am smooth:
Jakobi azongiselaki Rebeka, mama na ye: — Ezawu, ndeko na ngai, azali na bapwale ebele na nzoto, kasi ngai nazali na yango te.
12 If by chance my father puts his hand on me, it will seem to him that I am tricking him, and he will put a curse on me in place of 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, Let the curse be on me, my son: only do as I say, and go and get 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 So he went and got them and took them to his mother: and she made a meal to his father's taste.
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 fair robes of her oldest son, which were with her in the house, and put them on 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 young goats on his hands and on the smooth part of his neck:
Azipaki ye maboko mpe kingo na poso ya bana ntaba.
17 And she gave into the hand of Jacob, her son, the meat and the bread which she had made ready.
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 am I: who are you, 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, I am Esau, your oldest son; I have done as you said: come now, be seated and take of my meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
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, How is it that you have got it so quickly, my son? And he said, Because the Lord your God made it come my way.
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, Come near so that I may put my hand on you, my son, and see if you are truly my 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 his father Isaac: and he put his hands on him; and he 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 make out who he was, because his hands were covered with hair like his brother Esau's hands: so he gave him a blessing.
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 you truly my 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, Put it before me and I will take of my son's meat, so that I may give you a blessing. And he put it before him and he took it; and he gave him wine, and he had a drink.
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, my son, and give me a kiss.
Sima, tata na ye, Izaki, alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, yaka awa mpe pesa ngai beze.
27 And he came near and gave him a kiss; and smelling the smell of his clothing, he gave him a blessing, and said, See, the smell of my son is like the smell of a field on which the blessing of the Lord has come:
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 May God give you the dew of heaven, and the good things of the earth, and grain and wine in full measure:
Tika ete Nzambe apesa yo mvula ya likolo mpe mabele ya bozwi; apesa yo mbuma ya ble mpe vino ebele penza!
29 Let peoples be your servants, and nations go down before you: be lord over your brothers, and let your mother's sons go down before you: a curse be on everyone by whom you are cursed, and a blessing on those who give you a blessing.
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 when Isaac had come to the end of blessing Jacob, and Jacob had not long gone away from Isaac his father, Esau came in from the field.
Tango Izaki asilisaki kopambola ye, Jakobi atikaki tata na ye; bongo ndeko na ye, Ezawu, azongaki wuta na bokila.
31 And he made ready a meal, good to the taste, and took it to his father, and said to him, Let my father get up and take of his son's meat, so that you may give me a blessing.
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 you? And he said, I am your oldest son, Esau.
Tata na ye, Izaki, atunaki ye: — Yo nani? Azongisaki: — Ngai Ezawu, mwana na yo ya liboso.
33 And in great fear Isaac said, Who then is he who got meat and put it before me, and I took it all before you came, and gave him a blessing, and his it will be?
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 And hearing the words of his father, Esau gave a great and bitter cry, and said to his father, Give a blessing to me, even to me, 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, Your brother came with deceit, and took away your blessing.
Izaki alobaki: — Ndeko na yo ayaki na mayele mabe, ayibi mapamboli na yo.
36 And he said, Is it because he is named Jacob that he has twice taken my place? for he took away my birthright, and now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Have you not kept 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 answering said, But I have made him your master, and have given him all his brothers for servants; I have made him strong with grain and wine: what then am I to do for you, 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, Is that the only blessing you have, my father? give a blessing to me, even me! And Esau was overcome with weeping.
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 Then Isaac his father made answer and said to him, Far from the fertile places of the earth, and far from the dew of heaven on high will your living-place be:
Tata na ye, Izaki, alobaki na ye: — Okovanda mosika ya mabele oyo ebotaka malamu, mpe mosika ya mvula ya likolo.
40 By your sword will you get your living and you will be your brother's servant; but when your power is increased his yoke will be broken from off your 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 So Esau was full of hate for Jacob because of his father's blessing; and he said in his heart, The days of weeping for my father are near; then I will put my brother Jacob to death.
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 Then Rebekah, hearing what Esau had said, sent for Jacob, her younger son, and said to him, It seems that your brother Esau is purposing to put you to death.
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 So now, my son, do what I say: go quickly to Haran, to my brother Laban;
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 be there with him for a little time, till your brother's wrath is turned away;
Vanda mwa mikolo epai na ye kino kanda ya ndeko na yo ekosila.
45 Till the memory of what you have done to him is past and he is no longer angry: then I will send word for you to come back; are the two of you to be taken from me 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 Then Rebekah said to Isaac, My life is a weariness to me because of the daughters of Heth: if Jacob takes a wife from among the daughters of Heth, such as these, the women of this land, of what use will my life be to 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. »
