Genesis 27
1 And it came to pass when Isaac had become old, and his eyes were dim so that he could not see, that he called Esau his elder son, and said to him, My son! And he said to him, 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, Behold now, I am become old; I know not the day of my death.
Izaki alobaki: — Nakomi mobange mpe nayebi mokolo ya kufa na ngai te.
3 And now, I pray thee, take thy weapons, thy quiver and thy bow, and go out to the field and hunt me venison,
Yango wana, zwa sik’oyo mandoki na yo ya bokila, saki ya bokila mpe tolotolo; kende na zamba mpe bomela ngai nyama.
4 and prepare me a savoury dish such as I love, and bring it to me that I may eat, in order that my soul may bless thee before I die.
Okolambela ngai elubu ya kitoko ndenge nalingaka mpe okomemela ngai yango; nakolia mpo ete napambola yo liboso ete nakufa.
5 And Rebecca heard when Isaac spoke to Esau his son. And Esau went to the field to hunt venison, to bring it.
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 Rebecca spoke to Jacob her son, saying, Behold, I heard thy father speak to Esau thy brother, saying,
Rebeka ayebisaki Jakobi, mwana na ye ya mibale: — Tala, nayokaki tata na yo koyebisa Ezawu, ndeko na yo:
7 Bring me venison, and prepare me a savoury dish, that I may eat, and bless thee before Jehovah, 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 And now, my son, hearken to my voice in that which I command thee.
Mwana na ngai, yoka ngai malamu sik’oyo mpe sala makambo oyo nakoyebisa yo:
9 Go, I pray thee, to the flock, and fetch me thence two good kids of the goats. And I will make of them a savoury dish for thy father, such as he loves.
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 thou shalt bring [it] to thy father, that he may eat, in order that he may bless thee before his death.
Bongo, okomemela yango tata na yo; akolia yango mpo ete apambola yo liboso ete akufa.
11 And Jacob said to Rebecca his mother, Behold, Esau my brother is a hairy man, and I am a smooth man.
Jakobi azongiselaki Rebeka, mama na ye: — Ezawu, ndeko na ngai, azali na bapwale ebele na nzoto, kasi ngai nazali na yango te.
12 My father perhaps will feel me, and I shall be in his sight as one who mocks [him], and I shall bring a curse on me, and not 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 to him, On me [be] thy curse, my son! Only hearken to my voice, and go, fetch [them].
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 And he went, and fetched and brought [them] to his mother. And his mother prepared a savoury dish such as his father loved.
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 Rebecca took the clothes of her elder son Esau, the costly ones 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 kids of the goats on his hands, and on the smooth of his neck;
Azipaki ye maboko mpe kingo na poso ya bana ntaba.
17 and she gave the savoury dishes and the bread that she had prepared into the hand of her son Jacob.
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 art thou, 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 to his father, I am Esau, thy firstborn. I have done according as thou didst say to me. Arise, I pray thee, sit and eat of my venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
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 to his son, How is it that thou hast found [it] so quickly, my son? And he said, Because Jehovah thy God put [it] in 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 to Jacob, Come near, I pray thee, that I may feel thee, my son, whether thou be really 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 drew near to Isaac his father; and he felt him, and 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 discern him, because his hands were hairy, as his brother Esau's hands; and he blessed him.
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, Art thou really my son Esau? And he said, It is I.
Kasi liboso, atunaki ye: — Ozali penza mwana na ngai Ezawu? Jakobi azongisaki: — Iyo, ezali ngai solo.
25 And he said, Bring [it] near to me, that I may eat of my son's venison, in order that my soul may bless thee. And he brought [it] near to him, and he ate; and he brought him wine, and he drank.
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, and kiss me, my son.
Sima, tata na ye, Izaki, alobaki na ye: — Mwana na ngai, yaka awa mpe pesa ngai beze.
27 And he came near, and kissed him. And he smelt the smell of his clothes, and blessed him, and said, See, the smell of my son is as the smell of a field which Jehovah hath blessed.
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 And God give thee of the dew of heaven, And of the fatness of the earth, And plenty of corn and new wine.
Tika ete Nzambe apesa yo mvula ya likolo mpe mabele ya bozwi; apesa yo mbuma ya ble mpe vino ebele penza!
29 Let peoples serve thee, And races bow down to thee. Be lord over thy brethren, And let thy mother's sons bow down to thee. Cursed be they that curse thee, And blessed be they that bless thee.
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 it came to pass when Isaac had ended blessing Jacob, and when Jacob was only just gone out from Isaac his father, that Esau his brother came from his hunting.
Tango Izaki asilisaki kopambola ye, Jakobi atikaki tata na ye; bongo ndeko na ye, Ezawu, azongaki wuta na bokila.
31 And he also had prepared savoury dishes, and he brought [them] in to his father, and said to his father, Let my father arise and eat of his son's venison, in order that thy soul may bless me.
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 art thou? And he said, I am thy son, thy firstborn, Esau.
Tata na ye, Izaki, atunaki ye: — Yo nani? Azongisaki: — Ngai Ezawu, mwana na yo ya liboso.
33 Then Isaac trembled with exceeding great trembling, and said, Who was he, then, that hunted venison and brought [it] to me? And I have eaten of all before thou camest, and have blessed him; also blessed he shall 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 When Esau heard the words of his father, he cried with a great and exceeding bitter cry, and said to his father, Bless me — me also, 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, Thy brother came with subtilty, and has taken away thy blessing.
Izaki alobaki: — Ndeko na yo ayaki na mayele mabe, ayibi mapamboli na yo.
36 And he said, Is it not therefore he was named Jacob, for he has supplanted me now twice? He took away my birthright, and behold, now he has taken away my blessing. And he said, Hast thou not reserved 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 answered and said to Esau, Behold, I have made him lord over thee, and all his brethren have I given to him for servants, and with corn and new wine have I supplied him — and what can I do now for thee, 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, Hast thou then but one blessing, my father? bless me — me also, my father! And Esau lifted up his voice and wept.
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 And Isaac his father answered and said to him, Behold, thy dwelling shall be of the fatness of the earth, And of the dew of heaven from above;
Tata na ye, Izaki, alobaki na ye: — Okovanda mosika ya mabele oyo ebotaka malamu, mpe mosika ya mvula ya likolo.
40 And by thy sword shalt thou live; And thou shalt serve thy brother; And it shall come to pass when thou rovest about, That thou shalt break his yoke from off thy 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 And Esau hated Jacob because of the blessing with which his father had blessed him. And Esau said in his heart, The days of mourning for my father are at hand, and I will slay my brother Jacob.
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 And the words of Esau her elder son were told to Rebecca. And she sent and called Jacob her younger son, and said to him, Behold, thy brother Esau, as touching thee, comforts himself that he will kill thee.
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 And now, my son, hearken to my voice, and arise, flee to Laban my brother, to Haran;
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 abide with him some days, until thy brother's fury turn away —
Vanda mwa mikolo epai na ye kino kanda ya ndeko na yo ekosila.
45 until thy brother's anger turn away from thee, and he forget what thou hast done to him; then I will send and fetch thee thence. Why should I be bereaved even of you both 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 And Rebecca said to Isaac, I am weary of my life because of the daughters of Heth. If Jacob take a wife of the daughters of Heth, such as these, of the daughters of the land, what good should my life do 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. »
