Genesis 28
1 Then Izhak called Iaakob and blessed him, and charged him, and sayde vnto him, Take not 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, get thee to Padan Aram to the house of Bethuel thy mothers father, and thence take thee a wife of the daughters of Laban thy mothers 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 God all sufficient blesse thee, and make thee to encrease, and multiplie thee, that thou mayest be a multitude of people,
Tika ete Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso apambola yo, apesa yo bana, akomisa bana na yo ebele mpe okoma lisanga monene ya bato.
4 And giue thee the blessing of Abraham, euen to thee and to thy seede with thee, that thou mayest inherite the lande (wherein thou art a stranger, ) which God gaue vnto 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 Thus Izhak sent forth Iaakob, and he went to Padan Aram vnto Laban sonne of Bethuel the Aramite, brother to Rebekah, Iaakobs and Esaus 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 When Esau sawe that Izhak had blessed Iaakob, and sent him to Padan Aram, to set him a wife thence, and giuen him a charge when he blessed him, 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 Iaakob 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 Also Esau seeing that the daughters of Canaan displeased Izhak his father,
Bongo Ezawu asosolaki ete Izaki, tata na ye, azalaki kosepela te na bana basi ya Kanana.
9 Then went Esau to Ishmael, and tooke vnto the wiues, which he had, Mahalath the daughter of Ishmael Abrahams sonne, the sister of Nabaioth, 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 Now Iaakob departed from Beer-sheba, and went to Haran,
Jakobi alongwaki na Beri-Sheba mpe akendeki na Arani.
11 And he came vnto a certaine place, and taried there al night, because the sunne was downe, and tooke of the stones of the place, and layde vnder his head and slept in the same 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 Then he dreamed, and behold, there stoode a ladder vpon the earth, and the top of it reached vp to heauen: and loe, the Angels of God went vp and downe by 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, the Lord stoode aboue it, and sayd, I am the Lord God of Abraham thy father, and the God of Izhak: the land, vpon the which thou sleepest, wil I giue thee and thy seede.
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 seede 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 seede 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 lo, I am with thee, and wil keepe thee whithersoeuer thou goest, and will bring thee againe into this lande: for I will not forsake thee vntill I haue performed that, that I haue promised thee.
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 Then Iaakob awoke out of his sleepe, and sayde, Surely the Lord is in this place, and I was not aware.
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 fearefull is this place! this is none other but the house of God, and this is the gate of heauen.
Jakobi abangaki mpe abakisaki: « Oyo esika ya somo boye! Ekoki kozala eloko mosusu te, bobele Ndako ya Nzambe. Awa nde ekuke ya lola. »
18 Then Iaakob rose vp early in the morning, and tooke the stone that hee had layde vnder his head, and set it vp as a pillar, and powred oyle vpon 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 ye name of that place Bethel: notwithstanding the name of the citie was at the first called Luz.
Apesaki esika yango kombo « Beteli. » Na kala, bazalaka kobenga esika yango « Luze. »
20 Then Iaakob vowed a vowe, saying, If God will be with me, and will keepe me in this iourney which I go, and wil giue me bread to eate, and clothes 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 So that I come againe vnto my fathers house in safetie, then shall the Lord 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 haue set vp as a pillar, shall be Gods house: and of all that thou shalt giue me, wil I giue the tenth vnto thee.
libanga oyo natelemisi lokola elembo ekokoma Ndako ya Nzambe mpe nakopesa Ye eteni ya zomi ya biloko nyonso oyo akopesa ngai. »
