Genesis 28
1 And Isaac called Jacob, and blessed him, and charged him, and said to him, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan.
Bongo Izaki abengaki Jakobi, apambolaki ye mpe apesaki ye mitindo oyo: « Okobala mwasi te kati na bana basi ya Kanana.
2 Arise, go to Padan-Aram, to the house of Bethuel thy mother's father, and take a wife thence of the daughters of Laban thy mother's brother.
Telema! Kende mbala moko na Padani-Arami, na ndako ya koko na yo, Betweli, tata ya mama na yo. Zwa mwasi kuna kati na bana basi ya Labani, ndeko ya mama na yo.
3 And the Almighty God bless thee, and make thee fruitful and multiply thee, that thou mayest become a company of peoples.
Tika ete Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso apambola yo, apesa yo bana, akomisa bana na yo ebele mpe okoma lisanga monene ya bato.
4 And may he give thee the blessing of Abraham, to thee and to thy seed with thee, in order that thou mayest possess the land of thy sojourning, which God gave to Abraham!
Tika ete apesa na yo mpe na bakitani na yo lipamboli oyo apesaki na Abrayami mpo ete okamata mokili oyo ozali kovanda lokola mopaya, mokili oyo Nzambe apesaki na Abrayami. »
5 And Isaac sent away Jacob; and he went to Padan-Aram, to Laban the son of Bethuel the Syrian, the brother of Rebecca, Jacob's and Esau's mother.
Izaki atindaki Jakobi na nzela na ye, mpe Jakobi akendeki na Padani-Arami epai ya Labani, mwana mobali ya moto ya Arami, Betweli, mpe ndeko mobali ya Rebeka, mama ya Ezawu mpe Jakobi.
6 And Esau saw that Isaac had blessed Jacob, and sent him away to Padan-Aram, to take a wife thence, blessing him, and giving him a charge saying, Thou shalt not take a wife of the daughters of Canaan;
Ezawu ayokaki ete Izaki apambolaki Jakobi mpe atindaki ye na Padani-Arami mpo na kobala mwasi; ayokaki mpe ete, tango apambolaki ye, apesaki ye mitindo oyo: « Okobala mwasi te kati na bana basi ya Kanana. »
7 and [that] Jacob had obeyed his father and his mother, and was gone to Padan-Aram.
Jakobi atosaki tata na ye mpe mama na ye, mpe akendeki na Padani-Arami.
8 And Esau saw that the daughters of Canaan were evil in the sight of Isaac his father.
Bongo Ezawu asosolaki ete Izaki, tata na ye, azalaki kosepela te na bana basi ya Kanana.
9 And Esau went to Ishmael, and took, besides the wives that he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abraham's son, the sister of Nebaioth, to be his wife.
Boye Ezawu akendeki epai ya Isimaeli, mwana mobali ya Abrayami, mpe abalaki, kobakisa na basi oyo azalaki na bango, Maalati, ndeko mwasi ya Nebayoti.
10 And Jacob went out from Beer-sheba, and went towards Haran.
Jakobi alongwaki na Beri-Sheba mpe akendeki na Arani.
11 And he lighted on a certain place, and lodged there, because the sun had set. And he took [one] of the stones of the place, and made [it] his pillow, and lay down in that place.
Tango akomaki na esika moko, apemaki mpo na kolekisa butu. Azwaki libanga moko kati na mabanga oyo ezalaki na esika yango, atiaki yango na se ya moto na ye mpe alalaki.
12 And he dreamed, and behold, a ladder was set up on the earth, and the top of it reached to the heavens. And behold, angels of God ascended and descended upon it.
Na se ya pongi, alotaki ndoto: Amonaki ematelo moko ebanda na mabele mpe songe na yango etutaki likolo. Ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bazalaki komata mpe kokita na ematelo yango.
13 And behold, Jehovah stood above it. And he said, I am Jehovah, the God of Abraham, thy father, and the God of Isaac: the land on which thou liest, to thee will I give it, and to thy seed.
Mpe Yawe atelemaki likolo ya ematelo mpe alobaki na ye: « Nazali Yawe, Nzambe ya koko na yo Abrayami mpe Nzambe ya Izaki. Nakopesa epai na yo mpe na bana na yo mabele oyo, esika olali.
14 And thy seed shall be as the dust of the earth, and thou shalt spread abroad to the west, and to the east, and to the north, and to the south; and in thee and in thy seed shall all the families of the earth be blessed.
Bana na yo bakozala ebele lokola putulu ya mabele, bakopanzana na bangambo nyonso: wuta na weste kino na este, wuta na nor kino na sude. Mabota nyonso ya mokili ekomipambola mpo na yo mpe mpo na bakitani na yo.
15 And behold, I am with thee, and will keep thee in all [places] to which thou goest, and will bring thee again into this land; for I will not leave thee until I have done what I have spoken to thee of.
Nazali elongo na yo, nakobatela yo bisika nyonso oyo okokende mpe nakozongisa yo na mabele oyo, nakotika yo te kino nakokokisa makambo nyonso oyo nalakaki yo. »
16 And Jacob awoke from his sleep, and said, Surely Jehovah is in this place, and I knew [it] not.
Tango Jakobi alamukaki na pongi, alobaki: « Ya solo penza, Yawe azali na esika oyo mpe ngai nayebaki yango te! »
17 And he was afraid, and said, How dreadful is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.
Jakobi abangaki mpe abakisaki: « Oyo esika ya somo boye! Ekoki kozala eloko mosusu te, bobele Ndako ya Nzambe. Awa nde ekuke ya lola. »
18 And Jacob rose early in the morning, and took the stone that he had made his pillow, and set it up [for] a pillar, and poured oil on the top of it.
Na tongo-tongo, Jakobi azwaki libanga oyo atiaki moto, atelemisaki yango lokola elembo mpe asopaki mafuta na songe na yango.
19 And he called the name of that place Beth-el; but the name of that city was Luz at the first.
Apesaki esika yango kombo « Beteli. » Na kala, bazalaka kobenga esika yango « Luze. »
20 And Jacob vowed a vow, saying, If God will be with me, and keep me on this road that I go, and will give me bread to eat, and a garment to put on,
Bongo Jakobi akataki ndayi na koloba: « Soki Nzambe akozala elongo na ngai mpe akobatela ngai na mobembo oyo nazali kosala, mpe soki akopesa ngai bilei mpe bilamba ya kolata;
21 and I come again to my father's house in peace — then shall Jehovah be my God.
soki nazongi na kimia na ndako ya tata na ngai, wana Yawe akozala Nzambe na ngai,
22 And this stone, which I have set up [for] a pillar, shall be God's house; and of all that thou wilt give me I will without fail give the tenth to thee.
libanga oyo natelemisi lokola elembo ekokoma Ndako ya Nzambe mpe nakopesa Ye eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo akopesa ngai. »
