Genesis 31
1 And he hears the words of Laban’s sons, saying, “Jacob has taken all that our father has; indeed, from that which our father has, he has made all this glory”;
Jakobi ayokaki bana mibali ya Labani koloba: « Jakobi azwi biloko nyonso ya tata na biso mpe ezali na nzela ya biloko yango nde akomi na bozwi oyo nyonso. »
2 and Jacob sees the face of Laban, and behold, it is not with him as before.
Jakobi amonaki lisusu ete ezaleli ya Labani epai na ye etikalaki lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso.
3 And YHWH says to Jacob, “Return to the land of your fathers, and to your family, and I am with you.”
Yawe ayebisaki Jakobi: « Zonga na mboka ya batata na yo, epai ya bandeko na yo, mpe nakozala na yo elongo. »
4 And Jacob sends and calls for Rachel and for Leah to the field to his flock;
Boye Jakobi abengisaki Rasheli mpe Lea na bilanga epai wapi azalaki elongo na bibwele.
5 and says to them, “I am beholding your father’s face—that it is not toward me as before, and the God of my father has been with me,
Alobaki na bango: — Namoni ete ezaleli ya tata na bino epai na ngai etikali lisusu te ndenge ezalaki liboso; kasi Nzambe ya tata na ngai azalaki elongo na ngai.
6 and you have known that with all my power I have served your father,
Boyebi bino moko ete nasalelaki tata na bino na makasi na ngai nyonso.
7 and your father has played on me, and has changed my hire ten times; and God has not permitted him to do evil with me.
Kasi ye asakanaki na ngai na kobongola lifuti na ngai mbala zomi. Atako bongo, Nzambe apesaki ye nzela te ya kosala ngai mabe.
8 If he says thus: The speckled are your hire, then all the flock bore speckled ones; and if he says thus: The striped are your hire, then all the flock bore striped;
Tango azalaki koloba: « Bibwele ya nzela-nzela ekozala lifuti na yo, » bibwele nyonso ezalaki kobota bana ya nzela-nzela. Mpe tango azalaki koloba: « Bibwele ya madodo-madodo nde lifuti na yo, » bibwele nyonso ezalaki kobota bana ya madodo-madodo.
9 and God takes away the substance of your father, and gives to me.
Ezalaki bongo nde Nzambe azalaki kobotola bibwele ya tata na bino mpe kopesa ngai yango.
10 And it comes to pass at the time of the flock conceiving, that I lift up my eyes and see in a dream, and behold, the male goats, which are going up on the flock, [are] striped, speckled, and spotted;
Bongo, na tango oyo bibwele esengelaki kosangisa nzoto, namonaki na ndoto ete bantaba ya mibali, oyo ezalaki kosangisa nzoto na bantaba ya basi, ezalaki ya madodo-madodo, ya banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe.
11 and the Messenger of God says to me in the dream, Jacob, and I say, Here I [am].
Anjelu na Nzambe alobaki na ngai kati na ndoto: « Jakobi! » Mpe ngai nazongisaki: « Ngai oyo, nazali awa. »
12 And He says, Now lift up your eyes and see [that] all the male goats which are going up on the flock [are] striped, speckled, and spotted, for I have seen all that Laban is doing to you;
Alobaki na ngai: « Tombola miso mpe tala: bantaba nyonso ya mibali, oyo ezali kosangisa nzoto na bantaba ya basi, ezali na madodo-madodo, na banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe na banzela-nzela ya pembe; pamba te namoni makambo nyonso oyo Labani asali yo.
13 I [am] the God of Bethel where you have anointed a standing pillar, where you have vowed a vow to me; now, arise, go out from this land, and return to the land of your birth.”
Nazali Nzambe ya Beteli epai wapi osopaki mafuta na likolo ya libanga oyo otelemisaki lokola elembo mpe olapaki ndayi liboso na Ngai. Sik’oyo, telema, wuta na mokili oyo, mpe zonga na mokili na yo epai wapi obotama. »
14 And Rachel answers—Leah also—and says to him, “Have we yet a portion and inheritance in the house of our father?
Rasheli mpe Lea bazongisaki: — Boni, tozali lisusu na eloko to na libula kati na ndako ya tata na biso?
15 Have we not been reckoned strangers to him? For he has sold us, and he also utterly consumes our money;
Azalaki komona biso lokola bapaya, pamba te atekaki biso mpe aliaki mbongo na mito na biso.
16 for all the wealth which God has taken away from our father, it [is] ours, and our children’s; and now, all that God has said to you—do.”
Yango wana, bozwi nyonso oyo Nzambe abotolaki tata na biso ekomi ya biso na bana na biso. Sik’oyo, sala makambo nyonso oyo Nzambe ayebisaki yo.
17 And Jacob rises, and lifts up his sons and his wives on the camels,
Boye Jakobi amatisaki bana na ye mpe basi na ye likolo ya bashamo.
18 and leads all his livestock, and all his substance which he has acquired, the livestock of his getting, which he has acquired in Padan-Aram, to go to his father Isaac, to the land of Canaan.
Amemaki bibwele na ye nyonso mpe biloko nyonso oyo azwaki, bibwele oyo azwaki tango avandaki na Padani-Arami, mpo na kozonga epai ya Izaki, tata na ye, na mokili ya Kanana.
19 And Laban has gone to shear his flock, and Rachel steals the teraphim which her father has;
Nzokande tango Labani akendeki kolongola bapwale ya bameme na ye, Rasheli ayibaki banzambe ya bikeko ya tata na ye.
20 and Jacob deceives the heart of Laban the Aramean, because he has not declared to him that he is fleeing;
Boye Jakobi akosaki Labani, moto ya Arami, pamba te atikalaki koyebisa ye te ete akokende.
21 and he flees, he and all that he has, and rises, and passes over the River, and sets his face [toward] the Mount of Gilead.
Akimaki elongo na nyonso oyo ezalaki ya ye, akatisaki ebale mpe akendeki na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi.
22 And it is told to Laban on the third day that Jacob has fled,
Sima na mikolo misato, bayebisaki Labani ete Jakobi asili kokima.
23 and he takes his brothers with him, and pursues after him a journey of seven days, and overtakes him in the Mount of Gilead.
Boye Labani azwaki elongo na ye bandeko na ye ya mibali, alandaki Jakobi mikolo sambo mpe akangaki ye na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi.
24 And God comes to Laban the Aramean in a dream of the night and says to him, “Take heed to yourself lest you speak with Jacob from good to evil.”
Na butu, Nzambe ayaki epai ya Labani, moto ya Arami, kati na ndoto; alobaki na ye: « Keba! Komeka koloba ata likambo moko te ya malamu to ya mabe epai ya Jakobi. »
25 And Laban overtakes Jacob; and Jacob has fixed his tent in the mountain; and Laban with his brothers have fixed [theirs] in the Mount of Gilead.
Labani akangaki Jakobi, sima na Jakobi kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo kati na mokili ya bangomba ya Galadi. Boye Labani elongo na bandeko na ye ya mibali bavandaki mpe wana.
26 And Laban says to Jacob, “What have you done that you deceive my heart, and lead away my daughters as captives of the sword?
Labani alobaki na Jakobi: — Makambo nini osali ngai? Okosi ngai mpe omemi bana na ngai ya basi lokola bakangami ya bitumba!
27 Why have you hidden yourself to flee, and deceive me, and have not declared to me, and I send you away with joy and with songs, with tambourine and with harp,
Mpo na nini okimi na nkuku mpe okosi ngai? Mpo na nini oyebisaki ngai te? Nalingaki kutu kotika yo kokende na esengo elongo na banzembo, na makelele ya bambunda mpe ya lindanda.
28 and have not permitted me to kiss my sons and my daughters? Now you have acted foolishly in doing [so];
Otikeli ngai ata tango te ya kopesa beze na bakoko na ngai mpe na bana na ngai ya basi! Osali penza lokola moto ya liboma!
29 my hand is to God to do evil with you, but the God of your father last night has spoken to me, saying, Take heed to yourself from speaking with Jacob from good to evil.
Tala, nazali na makoki ya kosala yo mabe, kasi na butu oyo eleki, Nzambe ya tata na yo alobaki na ngai: « Keba! Komeka koloba ata likambo moko te ya malamu to ya mabe epai ya Jakobi. »
30 And now, you have certainly gone, because you have been very desirous for the house of your father; why have you stolen my gods?”
Sik’oyo, lokola okeyi mpo ete ozalaki na posa ya ndako ya tata na yo, mpo na nini oyibi banzambe na ngai?
31 And Jacob answers and says to Laban, “Because I was afraid, for I said, Lest you violently take away your daughters from me;
Jakobi azongiselaki Labani: — Nabangaki, pamba te nakanisaki ete okobotola ngai bana na yo ya basi na makasi.
32 with whomsoever you find your gods—he must not live; before our brothers discern for yourself what [is] with me, and take to yourself”: and Jacob has not known that Rachel has stolen them.
Kasi tika ete moto oyo okokuta awa na banzambe na yo akufa. Na miso ya bandeko na biso ya mibali, luka epai na ngai nyonso oyo ezali ya yo mpe zwa yango. Nzokande, Jakobi ayebaki te ete ezalaki Rasheli nde moto ayibaki banzambe yango.
33 And Laban goes into the tent of Jacob, and into the tent of Leah, and into the tent of the two handmaidens, and has not found; and he goes out from the tent of Leah, and goes into the tent of Rachel.
Labani akotaki na ndako ya kapo ya Jakobi, na ndako ya kapo ya Lea, mpe na ndako ya kapo ya basi bawumbu mibale; kasi amonaki eloko te. Sima na ye kobima na ndako ya kapo ya Lea, akotaki na oyo ya Rasheli.
34 And Rachel has taken the teraphim, and puts them in the furniture of the camel, and sits on them; and Laban feels all the tent, and has not found;
Nzokande Rasheli azwaki banzambe ya Labani, abombaki yango likolo ya shamo mpe avandaki na likolo na yango. Labani alukaki kati na ndako mobimba ya kapo, kasi amonaki eloko moko te.
35 and she says to her father, “Let it not be displeasing in the eyes of my lord that I am not able to rise at your presence, for the way of women [is] on me”; and he searches, and has not found the teraphim.
Rasheli alobaki na tata na ye: — Tika ete nkolo na ngai asilika te soki nakoki kotelema te na miso na yo, pamba te nazali na mikolo ya sanza oyo ekomelaka basi nyonso. Labani alukaki, kasi amonaki banzambe yango te.
36 And it is displeasing to Jacob, and he strives with Laban; and Jacob answers and says to Laban, “What [is] my transgression? What my sin, that you have burned after me?
Bongo Jakobi asilikaki mpe aswanisaki Labani. Alobaki na ye: — Mbeba nini nasalaki? Lisumu nini nasalaki mpo ete olanda ngai na kanda boye?
37 For you have felt all my vessels: what have you found of all the vessels of your house? Set here before my brothers, and your brothers, and they decide between us both.
Tango oluki kati na biloko na ngai nyonso, eloko nini ya ndako na yo omoni? Tia yango awa liboso ya bandeko na yo ya mibali mpe ya ngai mpo bakatela biso mibale likambo.
38 These twenty years I [am] with you: your ewes and your female goats have not miscarried, and the rams of your flock I have not eaten;
Nasalaki epai na yo mibu tuku mibale; bameme na yo mpe bantaba na yo elongwaki zemi te, mpe natikalaki te kolia bameme ya mibali kati na bibwele na yo.
39 the torn I have not brought to you—I repay it—from my hand you seek it; I have been deceived by day, and I have been deceived by night;
Namemelaki yo nyama moko te oyo banyama ya zamba ebomaki. Ngai moko nazalaki kofuta yango. Ozalaki kofutisa ngai oyo bazalaki koyiba ngai na moyi to na butu.
40 I have been [thus]: drought has consumed me in the day, and frost by night, and my sleep wanders from my eyes.
Moyi ezalaki kobeta ngai na mokolo, malili ezalaki kokanga ngai na butu, mpe pongi ezalaki kokima ngai na miso.
41 This [is] to me twenty years in your house: I have served you fourteen years for your two daughters, and six years for your flock; and you change my hire ten times;
Navandi na ndako na yo mibu tuku mibale: nasalelaki yo mibu zomi na minei mpo na bana na yo mibale ya basi, mpe mibu motoba mpo na bibwele na yo; mbala zomi obongolaki lifuti na ngai.
42 unless the God of my father, the God of Abraham, and the Fear of Isaac, had been for me, surely now you had sent me away empty; God has seen my affliction and the labor of my hands, and reproves last night.”
Soki Nzambe ya tata na ngai, Nzambe ya Abrayami mpe oyo Izaki abangaka, azalaki elongo na ngai te, ya solo, olingaki kozongisa ngai lelo maboko pamba. Kasi Nzambe amonaki minyoko na ngai mpe pasi ya mosala ya maboko na ngai, yango wana apamelaki yo na butu oyo eleki.
43 And Laban answers and says to Jacob, “The daughters [are] my daughters, and the sons my sons, and the flock my flock, and all that you are seeing [is] mine; and to my daughters—what do I to these today, or to their sons whom they have born?
Labani azongiselaki Jakobi: — Basi oyo bazali bana na ngai ya basi, bana oyo bazali bana na ngai, bibwele oyo ezali ya ngai mpe nyonso oyo ozali komona ezali ya ngai. Bongo lelo, eloko nini nakoki kosala mpo na bana na ngai ya basi mpe mpo na bana oyo bango baboti?
44 And now, come, let us make a covenant, I and you, and it has been for a witness between me and you.”
Sik’oyo Jakobi, tosala boyokani kati na yo mpe ngai, mpe tika ete yango ezala litatoli kati na biso.
45 And Jacob takes a stone, and lifts it up [for] a standing pillar;
Boye Jakobi azwaki libanga mpe atelemisaki yango lokola elembo.
46 and Jacob says to his brothers, “Gather stones,” and they take stones, and make a heap; and they eat there on the heap;
Jakobi alobaki na bandeko na ye ya mibali: « Bolokota mabanga! » Balokotaki mabanga, batiaki yango liboke, mpe bango nyonso baliaki wana na likolo ya liboke ya mabanga.
47 and Laban calls it Jegar-Sahadutha; and Jacob has called it Galeed.
Labani abengaki esika yango Yegari-Saduta mpe Jakobi abengaki yango Galedi.
48 And Laban says, “This heap [is] witness between me and you today”; therefore has he called its name Galeed;
Labani alobaki: — Lelo, liboke oyo ya mabanga ezali litatoli kati na yo mpe ngai. Yango wana babengaki yango Galedi.
49 Mizpah also, for he said, “YHWH watches between me and you, for we are hidden from one another;
Babengaki yango lisusu Mitsipa; pamba te Labani alobaki lisusu: « Tika ete Yawe akengelaka kati na yo mpe ngai tango tokomonana lisusu te.
50 if you afflict my daughters, or take wives beside my daughters—there is no man with us—see, God [is] witness between me and you.”
Soki onyokoli bana na ngai ya basi mpe soki ozwi basi mosusu likolo na bana na ngai ya basi, atako moto moko te akozala kati na biso, kasi yeba ete Nzambe nde azali motatoli kati na yo mpe ngai. »
51 And Laban says to Jacob, “Behold, this heap, and behold, the standing pillar which I have cast between me and you;
Labani alobaki lisusu na Jakobi: — Tala liboke oyo ya mabanga mpe libanga ya elembo oyo natelemisi kati na ngai mpe yo.
52 this heap [is] witness, and the standing pillar [is] witness, that I do not pass over this heap to you, and that you do not pass over this heap and this standing pillar to me—for evil;
Liboke oyo ya mabanga ezali motatoli, mpe libanga oyo ya elembo ezali motatoli. Nasengeli te kokatisa liboke oyo ya mabanga mpe libanga oyo ya elembo mpo ete naya kosala yo mabe na ngambo na yo; mpe yo osengeli te kokatisa liboke ya mabanga mpe libanga ya elembo mpo na koya kosala ngai mabe na ngambo na ngai.
53 the God of Abraham and the God of Nahor, judges between us—the God of their father,” and Jacob swears by the Fear of his father Isaac.
Tika ete Nzambe ya Abrayami mpe Nzambe ya Naori, Nzambe ya tata na bango, azala Mosambisi kati na biso! Bongo Jakobi alapaki ndayi na Kombo ya Nzambe oyo tata na ye, Izaki, azalaki kobanga.
54 And Jacob sacrifices a sacrifice on the mountain, and calls to his brothers to eat bread, and they eat bread, and lodge on the mountain;
Jakobi abonzaki mbeka likolo ya ngomba mpe abengisaki bandeko na ye ya mibali mpo na kolia bilei. Tango basilisaki kolia, balekisaki butu na esika wana, likolo ya ngomba.
55 and Laban rises early in the morning, and kisses his sons and his daughters, and blesses them; and Laban goes on, and turns back to his place.
Na tongo-tongo ya mokolo oyo elandaki, Labani apesaki bakoko na ye mpe bana na ye ya basi beze; apambolaki bango mpe azongaki na ndako na ye.
