Genesis 32
1 And Jacob went on his way, and the angels of God met him.
Wana Jakobi azalaki kokoba mobembo na ye, ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bayaki kokutana na ye.
2 And Jacob said when he saw them: 'This is God's camp.' And he called the name of that place Mahanaim.
Tango Jakobi amonaki bango, alobaki: « Oyo ezali molako ya Nzambe! » Mpe abengaki esika yango: Maanayimi.
3 And Jacob sent messengers before him to Esau his brother unto the land of Seir, the field of Edom.
Jakobi atindaki bantoma liboso na ye epai ya Ezawu, ndeko na ye, na mokili ya Seiri, kati na zamba ya Edomi.
4 And he commanded them, saying: 'Thus shall ye say unto my lord Esau: Thus saith thy servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and stayed until now.
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 And I have oxen, and asses and flocks, and men-servants and maid-servants; and I have sent to tell my lord, that I may find favour 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 And the messengers returned to Jacob, saying: 'We came to thy brother Esau, and moreover he cometh to meet thee, and four hundred 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 Jacob was greatly afraid and was distressed. And he divided the people that was with him, and the flocks, and the herds, and the camels, into two camps.
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 And he said: 'If Esau come to the one camp, and smite it, then the camp which is left shall escape.'
Azalaki komilobela: « Soki Ezawu abundisi lisanga moko, lisanga oyo etikali ekoki kokima. »
9 And Jacob said: 'O God of my father Abraham, and God of my father Isaac, O LORD, who saidst unto me: Return unto thy country, and to thy kindred, 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 all the mercies, and of all the truth, which Thou hast shown unto Thy servant; for with my staff I passed over this Jordan; and now I am become two camps.
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 Deliver me, I pray Thee, from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau; for I fear him, lest he come and smite me, the mother with 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 And Thou saidst: I will surely do thee good, and make thy seed as the sand of the sea, which cannot be numbered 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 lodged there that night; and took of that which he had with him 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 hundred she-goats and twenty he-goats, two hundred ewes and twenty rams,
bantaba ya basi nkama mibale mpe bantaba ya mibali tuku mibale, bameme ya basi nkama mibale mpe bameme ya mibali tuku mibale,
15 thirty milch camels and their colts, forty kine and ten bulls, twenty she-asses and ten foals.
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 And he delivered them into the hand of his servants, every drove by itself; and said unto his servants: 'Pass over before me, and put a space betwixt drove and drove.'
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 foremost, saying: 'When Esau my brother meeteth thee, and asketh thee, saying: Whose 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 are thy servant Jacob's; it is a present sent unto my lord, even unto Esau; and, behold, he also is behind us.'
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 And he commanded also the second, and the third, and all that followed the droves, saying: 'In this manner shall ye speak unto Esau, when ye find 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: Moreover, behold, thy servant Jacob is behind us.' For he said: 'I will appease him with the present that goeth before me, and afterward I will see his face; peradventure 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 the present passed over before him; and he himself lodged that night in the camp.
Boye kado ya Jakobi ekendeki liboso, kasi ye moko alekisaki butu kati na Molako.
22 And he rose up that night, and took his two wives, and his two handmaids, and his eleven children, and passed over the ford of the Jabbok.
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 took them, and sent them over the stream, and sent over that which he had.
Sima na kokatisa bango mayi, akatisaki mpe biloko na ye nyonso.
24 And Jacob was left alone; and there wrestled a man with him until the breaking of the day.
Jakobi atikalaki kaka ye moko. Bongo moto moko abundaki na ye kino tango tongo elingaki kotana.
25 And when he saw that he prevailed not against him, he touched the hollow of his thigh; and the hollow of Jacob's thigh was strained, 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 said: 'Let me go, for the day breaketh.' And he said: 'I will not let thee go, except thou bless 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 And he said unto him: 'What is thy name?' And be said: 'Jacob.'
Moto yango atunaki Jakobi: — Kombo na yo nani? Jakobi azongisaki: — Kombo na ngai ezali Jakobi.
28 And he said: 'Thy name shall be called no more Jacob, but Israel; for thou hast striven with God and with men, and hast prevailed.'
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 And Jacob asked him, and said: 'Tell me, I pray thee, thy name.' And he said: 'Wherefore is it that thou dost ask after 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 Jacob called the name of the place Peniel: 'for I have seen God face to face, and my life is preserved.'
Jakobi abengaki esika yango « Penieli, » pamba te alobaki: « Namoni Nzambe na miso na ngai, mpe bomoi na ngai ebiki. »
31 And the sun rose upon him as he passed over Peniel, and he limped upon his thigh.
Tango moyi ebimaki, Jakobi alekaki Penueli. Azalaki kotambola tengu-tengu mpo na loketo na ye.
32 Therefore the children of Israel eat not the sinew of the thigh-vein which is upon the hollow of the thigh, unto this day; because he touched the hollow of Jacob's thigh, even in the sinew of the thigh-vein.
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.
