Genesis 33
1 Then Jacob, lifting up his eyes, saw Esau coming with his four hundred men. So he made a division of the children between Leah and Rachel and the two women-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 them, and Rachel and Joseph at the back.
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 And he himself, going before them, went down on his face to the earth seven times till he came near 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 Then Esau came running up to him, and folding him in his arms, gave him a kiss: and the two of them were overcome with weeping.
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 Then Esau, lifting up his eyes, saw the women and the children, and said, Who are these with you? And he said, The children whom God in his mercy has given to 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 and their children came near, and went down on their faces.
Boye, basali ya basi elongo na bana na bango bapusanaki mpe bafukamaki.
7 And Leah came near with her children, and then Joseph and Rachel, and they did the same.
Na sima, Lea elongo na bana na ye bayaki kofukama. Bongo na suka, Jozefi elongo na Rasheli bayaki mpe kofukama.
8 And he said, What were all those herds which I saw on the way? And Jacob said, They were an offering so that I might have grace in my lord's eyes.
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 But Esau said, I have enough; keep what is yours, my brother, for yourself.
Kasi Ezawu azongisaki: — Ndeko na ngai, biloko nyonso oyo, nazali na yango ebele; bomba biloko na yo mpo na yo moko.
10 And Jacob said, Not so; but if I have grace in your eyes, take them as a sign of my love, for I have seen your face as one may see the face of God, and you have been 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 Take my offering then, with my blessing; for God has been very good to me and I have enough: so at his strong request, 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 And he said, Let us go on our journey together, and I will go in front.
Ezawu alobaki: — Telema tokende, nakotambola na yo nzela moko.
13 But Jacob said, My lord may see that the children are only small, and there are young ones in my flocks and herds: one day's over-driving will be the destruction of all the flock.
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 Do you, my lord, go on before your servant; I will come on slowly, at the rate at which the cattle and the children are able to go, till I come to my lord at 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 And Esau said, Then keep some of my men with you. And he said, What need is there for that, if my lord is pleased with me?
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, turning back that day, went on his way to Seir.
Boye, kaka na mokolo wana, Ezawu azwaki nzela mpe azongaki na Seiri.
17 And Jacob went on to Succoth, where he made a house for himself and put up tents for his cattle: for this reason the place was named 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 So Jacob came safely from Paddan-aram to the town of Shechem in the land of Canaan, and put up his tents near the town.
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 And for a hundred bits of money he got from the children of Hamor, the builder of Shechem, the field in which he had put up his tents.
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 And there he put up an altar, naming it El, the God of Israel.
Atongaki kuna etumbelo moko oyo abengaki: « El, Nzambe ya Isalaele. »
