Genesis 31
1 Now it came to the ears of Jacob that Laban's sons were saying, Jacob has taken away all our father's property, and in this way he has got all this wealth.
Jakobi ayokaki bana mibali ya Labani koloba: « Jakobi azwi biloko nyonso ya tata na biso mpe ezali na nzela ya biloko yango nde akomi na bozwi oyo nyonso. »
2 And Jacob saw that Laban's feeling for him was no longer what it had been before.
Jakobi amonaki lisusu ete ezaleli ya Labani epai na ye etikalaki lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso.
3 Then the Lord said to Jacob, Go back to the land of your fathers, and to your relations, and I will be with you.
Yawe ayebisaki Jakobi: « Zonga na mboka ya batata na yo, epai ya bandeko na yo, mpe nakozala na yo elongo. »
4 And Jacob sent for Rachel and Leah to come to him in the field among his flock.
Boye Jakobi abengisaki Rasheli mpe Lea na bilanga epai wapi azalaki elongo na bibwele.
5 And he said to them, It is clear to me that your father's feeling is no longer what it was to me; but the God of my father has been with me
Alobaki na bango: — Namoni ete ezaleli ya tata na bino epai na ngai etikali lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso; kasi Nzambe ya tata na ngai azalaki elongo na ngai.
6 And you have seen how I have done all in my power for your father,
Boyebi bino moko ete nasalelaki tata na bino na makasi na ngai nyonso.
7 But your father has not kept faith with me, and ten times he has made changes in my payment; but God has kept him from doing me damage.
Kasi ye asakanaki na ngai na kobongola lifuti na ngai mbala zomi. Atako bongo, Nzambe apesaki ye nzela te ya kosala ngai mabe.
8 If he said, All those in the flock which have marks are to be yours, then all the flock gave birth to marked young; and if he said, All the banded ones are to be yours, then all the flock had banded young.
Tango azalaki koloba: « Bibwele ya nzela-nzela ekozala lifuti na yo, » bibwele nyonso ezalaki kobota bana ya nzela-nzela. Mpe tango azalaki koloba: « Bibwele ya madodo-madodo nde lifuti na yo, » bibwele nyonso ezalaki kobota bana ya madodo-madodo.
9 So God has taken away your father's cattle and has given them to me.
Ezalaki bongo nde Nzambe azalaki kobotola bibwele ya tata na bino mpe kopesa ngai yango.
10 And at the time when the flock were with young, I saw in a dream that all the he-goats which were joined with the she-goats were banded and marked and coloured.
Bongo, na tango oyo bibwele esengelaki kosangisa nzoto, namonaki na ndoto ete bantaba ya mibali, oyo ezalaki kosangisa nzoto na bantaba ya basi, ezalaki ya madodo-madodo, ya banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe.
11 And in my dream the angel of the Lord said to me, Jacob: and I said, Here am I.
Anjelu na Nzambe alobaki na ngai kati na ndoto: « Jakobi! » Mpe ngai nazongisaki: « Ngai oyo, nazali awa. »
12 And he said, See how all the he-goats are banded and marked and coloured: for I have seen what Laban has done to you.
Alobaki na ngai: « Tombola miso mpe tala: bantaba nyonso ya mibali, oyo ezali kosangisa nzoto na bantaba ya basi, ezali na madodo-madodo, na banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe na banzela-nzela ya pembe; pamba te namoni makambo nyonso oyo Labani asali yo.
13 I am the God of Beth-el, where you put oil on the pillar and took an oath to me: now then, come out of this land and go back to the country of your birth.
Nazali Nzambe ya Beteli epai wapi osopaki mafuta na likolo ya libanga oyo otelemisaki lokola elembo mpe olapaki ndayi liboso na Ngai. Sik’oyo, telema, wuta na mokili oyo, mpe zonga na mokili na yo epai wapi obotama. »
14 Then Rachel and Leah said to him in answer, What part or heritage is there for us in our father's house?
Rasheli mpe Lea bazongisaki: — Boni, tozali lisusu na eloko to na libula kati na ndako ya tata na biso?
15 Are we not as people from a strange country to him? for he took a price for us and now it is all used up.
Azalaki komona biso lokola bapaya, pamba te atekaki biso mpe aliaki mbongo na mito na biso.
16 For the wealth which God has taken from him is ours and our children's; so now, whatever God has said to you, do.
Yango wana, bozwi nyonso oyo Nzambe abotolaki tata na biso ekomi ya biso na bana na biso. Sik’oyo, sala makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe ayebisaki yo.
17 Then Jacob put his wives and his sons on camels;
Boye Jakobi amatisaki bana na ye mpe basi na ye likolo ya bashamo.
18 And sending on before him all his cattle and his property which he had got together in Paddan-aram, he made ready to go to Isaac his father in the land of Canaan.
Amemaki bibwele na ye nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo azwaki, bibwele oyo azwaki tango avandaki na Padani-Arami, mpo na kozonga epai ya Izaki, tata na ye, na mokili ya Kanana.
19 Now Laban had gone to see to the cutting of the wool of his sheep; so Rachel secretly took the images of the gods of her father's house.
Nzokande tango Labani akendeki kolongola bapwale ya bameme na ye, Rasheli ayibaki banzambe ya bikeko ya tata na ye.
20 And Jacob went away secretly, without giving news of his flight to Laban the Aramaean.
Boye Jakobi akosaki Labani, moto ya Arami, pamba te atikalaki koyebisa ye te ete akokende.
21 So he went away with all he had, and went across the River in the direction of the hill-country of Gilead.
Akimaki elongo na nyonso oyo ezalaki ya ye, akatisaki ebale mpe akendeki na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi.
22 And on the third day Laban had news of Jacob's flight.
Sima na mikolo misato, bayebisaki Labani ete Jakobi asili kokima.
23 And taking the men of his family with him, he went after him for seven days and overtook him in the hill-country of Gilead.
Boye Labani azwaki elongo na ye bandeko na ye ya mibali, alandaki Jakobi mikolo sambo mpe akangaki ye na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi.
24 Then God came to Laban in a dream by night, and said to him, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
Na butu, Nzambe ayaki epai ya Labani, moto ya Arami, kati na ndoto; alobaki na ye: « Keba! Komeka koloba ata likambo moko te ya malamu to ya mabe epai ya Jakobi. »
25 Now when Laban overtook him, Jacob had put up his tent in the hill-country; and Laban and his brothers put up their tents in the hill-country of Gilead.
Labani akangaki Jakobi, sima na Jakobi kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo kati na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi. Boye Labani elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali bavandaki mpe wana.
26 And Laban said to Jacob, Why did you go away secretly, taking my daughters away like prisoners of war?
Labani alobaki na Jakobi: — Makambo nini osali ngai? Okosi ngai mpe omemi bana na ngai ya basi lokola bakangami ya bitumba!
27 Why did you make a secret of your flight, not giving me word of it, so that I might have sent you away with joy and songs, with melody and music?
Mpo na nini okimi na nkuku mpe okosi ngai? Mpo na nini oyebisaki ngai te? Nalingaki kutu kotika yo kokende na esengo elongo na banzembo, na makelele ya bambunda mpe ya lindanda.
28 You did not even let me give a kiss to my sons and my daughters. This was a foolish thing to do.
Otikeli ngai ata tango te ya kopesa beze na bakoko na ngai mpe na bana na ngai ya basi! Osali penza lokola moto ya liboma!
29 It is in my power to do you damage: but the God of your father came to me this night, saying, Take care that you say nothing good or bad to Jacob.
Tala, nazali na makoki ya kosala yo mabe, kasi na butu oyo eleki, Nzambe ya tata na yo alobaki na ngai: « Keba! Komeka koloba ata likambo moko te ya malamu to ya mabe epai ya Jakobi. »
30 And now, it seems, you are going because your heart's desire is for your father's house; but why have you taken my gods?
Sik’oyo, lokola okeyi mpo ete ozalaki na posa ya ndako ya tata na yo, mpo na nini oyibi banzambe na ngai?
31 And Jacob, in answer, said to Laban, My fear was that you might take your daughters from me by force.
Jakobi azongiselaki Labani: — Nabangaki, pamba te nakanisaki ete okobotola ngai bana na yo ya basi na makasi.
32 As for your gods, if anyone of us has them, let him be put to death: make search before us all for what is yours, and take it. For Jacob had no knowledge that Rachel had taken them.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo okokuta awa na banzambe na yo akufa. Na miso ya bandeko na biso ya mibali, luka epai na ngai nyonso oyo ezali ya yo mpe zwa yango. Nzokande, Jakobi ayebaki te ete ezalaki Rasheli nde moto ayibaki banzambe yango.
33 So Laban went into Jacob's tent and into Leah's tent, and into the tents of the two servant-women, but they were not there; and he came out of Leah's tent and went into Rachel's.
Labani akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Jakobi, na ndako ya kapo ya Lea, mpe na ndako ya kapo ya basi bawumbu mibale; kasi amonaki eloko te. Sima na ye kobima na ndako ya kapo ya Lea, akotaki na oyo ya Rasheli.
34 Now Rachel had taken the images, and had put them in the camels' basket, and was seated on them. And Laban, searching through all the tent, did not come across them.
Nzokande Rasheli azwaki banzambe ya Labani, abombaki yango likolo ya shamo mpe avandaki na likolo na yango. Labani alukaki kati na ndako mobimba ya kapo, kasi amonaki eloko moko te.
35 And she said to her father, Let not my lord be angry because I do not get up before you, for I am in the common condition of women. And with all his searching, he did not come across the images.
Rasheli alobaki na tata na ye: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te soki nakoki kotelema te na miso na yo, pamba te nazali na mikolo ya sanza oyo ekomelaka basi nyonso. Labani alukaki, kasi amonaki banzambe yango te.
36 Then Jacob was angry with Laban, and said, What crime or sin have I done that you have come after me with such passion?
Bongo Jakobi asilikaki mpe aswanisaki Labani. Alobaki na ye: — Mbeba nini nasalaki? Lisumu nini nasalaki mpo ete olanda ngai na kanda boye?
37 Now that you have made search through all my goods, what have you seen which is yours? Make it clear now before my people and your people, so that they may be judges between us.
Tango oluki kati na biloko na ngai nyonso, eloko nini ya ndako na yo omoni? Tia yango awa liboso ya bandeko na yo ya mibali mpe ya ngai mpo bakatela biso mibale likambo.
38 These twenty years I have been with you; your sheep and your goats have had young without loss, not one of your he-goats have I taken for food.
Nasalaki epai na yo mibu tuku mibale; bameme na yo mpe bantaba na yo elongwaki zemi te, mpe natikalaki te kolia bameme ya mibali kati na bibwele na yo.
39 Anything which was wounded by beasts I did not take to you, but myself made up for the loss of it; you made me responsible for whatever was taken by thieves, by day or by night.
Namemelaki yo nyama moko te oyo banyama ya zamba ebomaki. Ngai moko nazalaki kofuta yango. Ozalaki kofutisa ngai oyo bazalaki koyiba ngai na moyi to na butu.
40 This was my condition, wasted by heat in the day and by the bitter cold at night; and sleep went from my eyes.
Moyi ezalaki kobeta ngai na mokolo, malili ezalaki kokanga ngai na butu, mpe pongi ezalaki kokima ngai na miso.
41 These twenty years I have been in your house; I was your servant for fourteen years because of your daughters, and for six years I kept your flock, and ten times was my payment changed.
Navandi na ndako na yo mibu tuku mibale: nasalelaki yo mibu zomi na minei mpo na bana na yo mibale ya basi, mpe mibu motoba mpo na bibwele na yo; mbala zomi obongolaki lifuti na ngai.
42 If the God of my father, the God of Abraham and the Fear of Isaac, had not been with me, you would have sent me away with nothing in my hands. But God has seen my troubles and the work of my hands, and this night he kept you back.
Soki Nzambe ya tata na ngai, Nzambe ya Abrayami mpe oyo Izaki abangaka, azalaki elongo na ngai te, ya solo, olingaki kozongisa ngai lelo maboko pamba. Kasi Nzambe amonaki minyoko na ngai mpe pasi ya mosala ya maboko na ngai, yango wana apamelaki yo na butu oyo eleki.
43 Then Laban, answering, said, These women are my daughters and these children my children, the flocks and all you see are mine: what now may I do for my daughters and for their children?
Labani azongiselaki Jakobi: — Basi oyo bazali bana na ngai ya basi, bana oyo bazali bana na ngai, bibwele oyo ezali ya ngai mpe nyonso oyo ozali komona ezali ya ngai. Bongo lelo, eloko nini nakoki kosala mpo na bana na ngai ya basi mpe mpo na bana oyo bango baboti?
44 Come, let us make an agreement, you and I; and let it be for a witness between us.
Sik’oyo Jakobi, tosala boyokani kati na yo mpe ngai, mpe tika ete yango ezala litatoli kati na biso.
45 Then Jacob took a stone and put it up as a pillar.
Boye Jakobi azwaki libanga mpe atelemisaki yango lokola elembo.
46 And Jacob said to his people, Get stones together; and they did so; and they had a meal there by the stones.
Jakobi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: « Bolokota mabanga! » Balokotaki mabanga, batiaki yango liboke, mpe bango nyonso baliaki wana na likolo ya liboke ya mabanga.
47 And the name Laban gave it was Jegar-sahadutha: but Jacob gave it the name of Galeed.
Labani abengaki esika yango Yegari-Saduta mpe Jakobi abengaki yango Galedi.
48 And Laban said, These stones are a witness between you and me today. For this reason its name was Galeed,
Labani alobaki: — Lelo, liboke oyo ya mabanga ezali litatoli kati na yo mpe ngai. Yango wana babengaki yango Galedi.
49 And Mizpah, for he said, May the Lord keep watch on us when we are unable to see one another's doings.
Babengaki yango lisusu Mitsipa; pamba te Labani alobaki lisusu: « Tika ete Yawe akengelaka kati na yo mpe ngai tango tokomonana lisusu te.
50 If you are cruel to my daughters, or if you take other wives in addition to my daughters, then though no man is there to see, God will be the witness between us.
Soki onyokoli bana na ngai ya basi mpe soki ozwi basi mosusu likolo na bana na ngai ya basi, atako moto moko te akozala kati na biso, kasi yeba ete Nzambe nde azali motatoli kati na yo mpe ngai. »
51 And Laban said, See these stones and this pillar which I have put between you and me;
Labani alobaki lisusu na Jakobi: — Tala liboke oyo ya mabanga mpe libanga ya elembo oyo natelemisi kati na ngai mpe yo.
52 They will be witness that I will not go over these stones to you, and you will not go over these stones or this pillar to me, for any evil purpose.
Liboke oyo ya mabanga ezali motatoli, mpe libanga oyo ya elembo ezali motatoli. Nasengeli te kokatisa liboke oyo ya mabanga mpe libanga oyo ya elembo mpo ete naya kosala yo mabe na ngambo na yo; mpe yo osengeli te kokatisa liboke ya mabanga mpe libanga ya elembo mpo na koya kosala ngai mabe na ngambo na ngai.
53 May the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, the God of their father, be our judge. Then Jacob took an oath by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Tika ete Nzambe ya Abrayami mpe Nzambe ya Naori, Nzambe ya tata na bango, azala Mosambisi kati na biso! Bongo Jakobi alapaki ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe oyo tata na ye, Izaki, azalaki kobanga.
54 And Jacob made an offering on the mountain, and gave orders to his people to take food: so they had a meal and took their rest that night on the mountain.
Jakobi abonzaki mbeka likolo ya ngomba mpe abengisaki bandeko na ye ya mibali mpo na kolia bilei. Tango basilisaki kolia, balekisaki butu na esika wana, likolo ya ngomba.
55 And early in the morning Laban, after kissing and blessing his daughters, went on his way back to his country.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Labani apesaki bakoko na ye mpe bana na ye ya basi beze; apambolaki bango mpe azongaki na ndako na ye.
