Genesis 32
1 Nowe Iaakob went forth on his iourney and the Angels of God met him.
Wana Jakobi azalaki kokoba mobembo na ye, ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bayaki kokutana na ye.
2 And when Iaakob saw them, he said, This is Gods hoste, and called the name of the same place Mahanaim.
Tango Jakobi amonaki bango, alobaki: « Oyo ezali molako ya Nzambe! » Mpe abengaki esika yango: Maanayimi.
3 Then Iaakob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother, vnto the land of Seir into the countrey of Edom:
Jakobi atindaki bantoma liboso na ye epai ya Ezawu, ndeko na ye, na mokili ya Seiri, kati na zamba ya Edomi.
4 To whom he gaue commandement, saying, Thus shall ye speake to my lorde Esau: thy seruant Iaakob sayeth thus, I haue bene a stranger with Laban, and taried vnto this time.
Apesaki bango malako oyo: « Tala makambo oyo bokoloba epai ya nkolo na ngai Ezawu: ‹ Mosali na yo Jakobi alobi: ‘Navandaki epai ya Labani mpe natikalaki kuna kino sik’oyo.
5 I haue beeues also and Asses, sheepe, and men seruantes, and women seruantes, and haue sent to shew my lord, that I may find grace in thy sight.
Nazali na bangombe, ba-ane, bameme, bantaba, basali ya mibali mpe ya basi; natindi sango oyo epai ya nkolo na ngai mpo ete nazwa ngolu na miso na ye.’ › »
6 So ye messengers came againe to Iaakob, saying, We came vnto thy brother Esau, and hee also commeth against thee and foure hundreth men with him.
Tango bantoma bazongaki epai ya Jakobi, balobaki: « Tokendeki epai ya Ezawu, ndeko na yo, mpe sik’oyo azali koya elongo na bato nkama minei mpo na kokutana na yo. »
7 Then Iaakob was greatly afraid, and was sore troubled, and deuided the people that was with him, and the sheepe, and the beeues, and the camels into two companies.
Na kobanga makasi mpe na komitungisa, Jakobi akabolaki bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye na masanga mibale; ndenge moko mpe mpo na bameme, bantaba mpe bashamo.
8 For he said, If Esau come to ye one company and smite it, the other companie shall escape.
Azalaki komilobela: « Soki Ezawu abundisi lisanga moko, lisanga oyo etikali ekoki kokima. »
9 Moreouer Iaakob said, O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Izhak: Lord, which saydest vnto me, Returne vnto thy coutrey and to thy kinred, and I will do thee good,
Sima, Jakobi abondelaki: « Oh Nzambe ya Abrayami, tata na ngai! Nzambe ya Izaki, tata na ngai! Oh Yawe, Yo oyo olobaki na ngai: ‹ Zonga na mokili na yo, na libota na yo, mpe Ngai nakosalela yo bolamu. ›
10 I am not worthy of the least of all the mercies, and al the trueth, which thou hast shewed vnto thy seruant: for with my staffe came I ouer this Iorden, and now haue I gotte two bads.
Nazali nani mpo ete otalisa ngai mosali na Yo bolamu mpe bosembo nyonso oyo! Nazalaki kaka na lingenda tango nakatisaki Yordani, kasi sik’oyo nazali na masanga mibale.
11 I pray thee, Deliuer me from the hande of my brother, from the hande of Esau: for I feare him, least he will come and smite me, and the mother vpon the children.
Nabondeli Yo, kangola ngai na maboko ya ndeko na ngai, Ezawu, pamba te nazali kobanga ete aya kobundisa ngai elongo na bamama mpe bana na bango.
12 For thou saydest; I will surely doe thee good, and make thy seede as the sande of the sea, which can not be nombred for multitude.
Nzokande, Yo olobaki na ngai: ‹ Ya solo nakosalela yo bolamu mpe nakokomisa bakitani na yo ebele lokola zelo ya ebale monene, oyo moto moko te akoki kotanga. › »
13 And he taryed there the same night, and tooke of that which came to had, a present for Esau his brother:
Jakobi alekisaki butu na esika wana. Kati na biloko oyo azalaki na yango, aponaki kado mpo na Ezawu, ndeko na ye:
14 Two hundreth shee goates and twenty hee goates, two hundreth ewes and twentie rammes:
bantaba ya basi nkama mibale mpe bantaba ya mibali tuku mibale, bameme ya basi nkama mibale mpe bameme ya mibali tuku mibale,
15 Thirtie mylche camels with their coltes, fourtie kine, and ten bullockes, twentie she asses and ten foles.
shamo ya basi tuku misato elongo na bana na yango, bangombe ya basi tuku minei mpe bangombe ya mibali zomi, ba-ane ya basi tuku mibale mpe ya mibali zomi.
16 So he deliuered them into the hande of his seruants, euery droue by themselues, and saide vnto his seruants, Passe before me, and put a space betweene droue and droue.
Akabolaki yango na bitonga mpe apesaki yango epai ya basali na ye. Alobaki na bango: « Boleka liboso na ngai mpe botia etonga moko mosika na mosusu. »
17 And he commanded the formost, saying, If Esau my brother meete thee, and aske thee, saying, Whose seruant art thou? And whither goest thou? And whose are these before thee?
Jakobi apesaki mitindo oyo epai ya mosali na ye ya liboso: « Tango Ezawu, ndeko na ngai, akokutana na yo mpe akotuna yo: ‹ Yo ozali mosali ya nani, ozali kokende wapi mpe nani nkolo ya banyama nyonso oyo ezali liboso na yo? ›
18 Then thou shalt say, They be thy seruant Iaakobs: it is a present sent vnto my lord Esau: and beholde, he him selfe also is behinde vs.
Okozongisa: ‹ Ezali ya Jakobi, mosali na yo, ezali kado oyo atindeli nkolo na ngai Ezawu. Mpe tala ye moko azali koya sima na biso. › »
19 So likewise commanded he the seconde and the thirde, and all that followed the droues, saying, After this maner, ye shall speake vnto Esau, when ye finde him.
Apesaki lisusu mitindo wana epai ya mosali ya mibale, ya misato mpe epai ya basali nyonso oyo bazalaki kolanda bibwele: « Bokoloba kaka maloba moko tango bokokutana na Ezawu.
20 And ye shall say moreouer, Beholde, thy seruant Iaakob commeth after vs (for he thought, I will appease his wrath with the present that goeth before me, and afterwarde I will see his face: it may be that he will accept me.)
Bokoyebisa ye lisusu: ‹ Tala ye moko Jakobi, mosali na yo, azali koya na sima na biso! › » Pamba te azalaki komilobela: « Nakokitisa kanda na ye na kado oyo natindi liboso na ngai; sima tango nakokutana na ye, mbala mosusu akoyamba ngai malamu. »
21 So went the present before him: but he taried that night with the companie.
Boye kado ya Jakobi ekendeki liboso, kasi ye moko alekisaki butu kati na Molako.
22 And he rose vp the same night, and tooke his two wiues, and his two maides, and his eleuen children, and went ouer the forde Iabbok.
Na butu wana, Jakobi alamukaki, azwaki basi na ye mibale, basali na ye mibale ya basi, bana na ye zomi na moko mpe akatisaki mayi ya Yaboki.
23 And he tooke them, and sent them ouer the riuer, and sent ouer that he had.
Sima na kokatisa bango mayi, akatisaki mpe biloko na ye nyonso.
24 Now when Iaakob was left him selfe alone, there wrestled a man with him vnto the breaking of the day.
Jakobi atikalaki kaka ye moko. Bongo moto moko abundaki na ye kino tango tongo elingaki kotana.
25 And he sawe that he could not preuaile against him: therefore he touched the holowe of his thigh, and the holowe of Iaakobs thigh was loosed, as he wrestled with him.
Wana moto yango amonaki ete akoki kolonga Jakobi te, abetaki Jakobi na loketo mpe mokuwa ya loketo na ye ebukanaki tango bazalaki kobunda.
26 And he saide, Let me goe, for the morning appeareth. Who answered, I will not let thee go except thou blesse me.
Sima, moto yango alobaki: — Tika ngai nakende, pamba te tongo elingi kotana. Kasi Jakobi azongisaki: — Nakotika yo te kokende soki opamboli ngai te.
27 Then said he vnto him, What is thy name? And he said, Iaakob.
Moto yango atunaki Jakobi: — Kombo na yo nani? Jakobi azongisaki: — Kombo na ngai ezali Jakobi.
28 Then said he, Thy name shalbe called Iaakob no more, but Israel: because thou hast had power with God, thou shalt also preuaile with men.
Moto yango alobaki lisusu: — Kobanda lelo, kombo na yo ekozala lisusu Jakobi te, kasi Isalaele, pamba te obundi na Nzambe mpe na bato, bongo olongi.
29 Then Iaakob demaded, saying, Tell me, I pray thee, thy name. And he said, Wherefore now doest thou aske my name? and he blessed him there
Jakobi alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, yebisa ngai kombo na yo. Azongiselaki ye: — Mpo na nini ozali kotuna kombo na ngai? Boye apambolaki ye na esika wana.
30 And Iaakob called the name of the place, Peniel: for, saide he, I haue seene God face to face, and my life is preserued.
Jakobi abengaki esika yango « Penieli, » pamba te alobaki: « Namoni Nzambe na miso na ngai, mpe bomoi na ngai ebiki. »
31 And the sunne rose vp to him as he passed Peniel, and he halted vpon his thigh.
Tango moyi ebimaki, Jakobi alekaki Penueli. Azalaki kotambola tengu-tengu mpo na loketo na ye.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eate not of the sinewe that shranke in the hollowe of the thigh, vnto this day: because he touched the sinew that shranke in the holow of Iaakobs thigh.
Yango wana kino lelo, bana ya Isalaele baliaka mosuni ya mopende te, pamba te Nzambe abetaki Jakobi na mosuni oyo ekangami na mokuwa ya loketo.
