Genesis 32
1 And Jacob has gone on his way, and messengers of God come on him;
Wana Jakobi azalaki kokoba mobembo na ye, ba-anjelu ya Nzambe bayaki kokutana na ye.
2 and Jacob says, when he has seen them, “This [is] the camp of God”; and he calls the name of that place “Two Camps.”
Tango Jakobi amonaki bango, alobaki: « Oyo ezali molako ya Nzambe! » Mpe abengaki esika yango: Maanayimi.
3 And Jacob sends messengers before him to his brother Esau, toward 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 commands them, saying, “Thus you say to my lord, to Esau, Thus said your servant Jacob: I have sojourned with Laban, and I linger 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 ox, and donkey, flock, and manservant, and maidservant, and I send to declare to my lord, to find grace in his eyes.”
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 return to Jacob, saying, “We came to your brother, to Esau, and he is also coming to meet you, 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 and Jacob fears exceedingly, and is distressed, and he divides the people who [are] with him, and the flock, and the herd, 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 says, “If Esau comes to one camp, and has struck it—then the camp which is left has been for an escape.”
Azalaki komilobela: « Soki Ezawu abundisi lisanga moko, lisanga oyo etikali ekoki kokima. »
9 And Jacob says, “God of my father Abraham and God of my father Isaac, YHWH who says to me, Return to your land and to your family, and I do good with you:
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 have been unworthy of all the kind acts and of all the truth which You have done with your servant—for with my staff I passed over this Jordan, and now I have 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 Please deliver me from the hand of my brother, from the hand of Esau: for I am fearing him, lest he come and has struck me—mother beside sons;
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 You have said, I certainly do good with you, and have set your seed as the sand of the sea, which is not numbered because of the 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 lodges there during that night, and takes from that which is coming into his hand, a present for his brother Esau:
Jakobi alekisaki butu na esika wana. Kati na biloko oyo azalaki na yango, aponaki kado mpo na Ezawu, ndeko na ye:
14 female goats two hundred, and male goats twenty, ewes two hundred, and rams twenty,
bantaba ya basi nkama mibale mpe bantaba ya mibali tuku mibale, bameme ya basi nkama mibale mpe bameme ya mibali tuku mibale,
15 suckling camels and their young ones thirty, cows forty, and bullocks ten, female donkeys twenty, and foals ten;
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 gives into the hand of his servants every drove by itself, and says to his servants, “Pass over before me, and a space you put between 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 commands the first, saying, “When my brother Esau meets you, and has asked you, saying, Whose [are] you? And to where do you go? And whose [are] these before you?
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 you have said, Your servant Jacob’s: it [is] a present sent to my lord, to 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 commands also the second, also the third, also all who are going after the droves, saying, “According to this manner do you speak to Esau in your finding 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 you have also said, Behold, your servant Jacob [is] behind us”; for he said, “I pacify his face with the present which is going before me, and afterward I see his face; it may be he lifts up my face”;
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 and the present passes over before his face, and he has lodged during that night in the camp.
Boye kado ya Jakobi ekendeki liboso, kasi ye moko alekisaki butu kati na Molako.
22 And he rises in that night, and takes his two wives, and his two maidservants, and his eleven children, and passes over the passage of 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 takes them, and causes them to pass over the brook, and he causes that which he has to pass over.
Sima na kokatisa bango mayi, akatisaki mpe biloko na ye nyonso.
24 And Jacob is left alone, and One wrestles with him until the ascending of the dawn;
Jakobi atikalaki kaka ye moko. Bongo moto moko abundaki na ye kino tango tongo elingaki kotana.
25 and He sees that He is not able for him, and He comes against the hollow of his thigh, and the hollow of Jacob’s thigh is disjointed in his wrestling 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 says, “Send Me away, for the dawn has ascended”: and he says, “I do not send You away, except You have blessed 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 says to him, “What [is] your name?” And he says, “Jacob.”
Moto yango atunaki Jakobi: — Kombo na yo nani? Jakobi azongisaki: — Kombo na ngai ezali Jakobi.
28 And He says, “Your name is no longer called Jacob, but Israel; for you have reigned with God and with men, and prevail.”
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 asks and says, “Please declare Your Name”; and He says, “Why [is] this, you ask for My Name?” And He blesses 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 calls the name of the place Peniel: “For I have seen God face to face, and my life is delivered”;
Jakobi abengaki esika yango « Penieli, » pamba te alobaki: « Namoni Nzambe na miso na ngai, mpe bomoi na ngai ebiki. »
31 and the sun rises on him when he has passed over Penuel, and he is halting on his thigh;
Tango moyi ebimaki, Jakobi alekaki Penueli. Azalaki kotambola tengu-tengu mpo na loketo na ye.
32 therefore the sons of Israel do not eat the sinew which shrank, which [is] on the hollow of the thigh, to this day, because He came against the hollow of Jacob’s thigh, against the sinew which shrank.
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.
