Genesis 30
1 And Rachel saw she had borne no children unto Jacob, so Rachel became envious of her sister, —and said unto Jacob, Come! give me children, or else, I die.
Tango Rasheli amonaki ete azali kobotela Jakobi bana te, akomaki na zuwa mpo na ndeko na ye ya mwasi. Boye alobaki na Jakobi: — Pesa ngai bana, noki te nakokufa.
2 Then kindled the anger of Jacob with Rachel, —and he said, Am I, in the place of God, who hath withheld from thee the fruit of the womb?
Jakobi asilikaki makasi mpo na Rasheli mpe alobaki: — Boni, ngai nakomi nde Nzambe oyo akangi yo mabota?
3 And she said, Lo! my handmaid, Bilhah. Go in unto her, —that she may bear upon my knees, so that, I also, may be builded up by her!
Rasheli alobaki: — Tala Bila, mwasi mowumbu na ngai; sangisa na ye nzoto mpo ete abotela ngai bana, mpe na nzela na ye, ngai mpe nakoka kotonga libota.
4 And she gave him Bilhah her handmaid, to wife, —and Jacob went in unto her;
Rasheli apesaki ye Bila, mwasi mosali na ye, mpo ete akoma mwasi na ye. Jakobi asangisaki na ye nzoto,
5 and Bilhah conceived, and bare unto Jacob a son;
mpe Bila akomaki na zemi. Abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali.
6 and Rachel said God hath vindicated me. Moreover also he hath hearkened unto my voice, and hath given me a son. For this cause, called she his name Dan.
Rasheli alobaki: « Nzambe alongisi ngai, ayoki kolela na ngai mpe apesi ngai mwana mobali. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Dani. »
7 And Bilhah, Rachel’s handmaid conceived again, and bare a second son to Jacob.
Sima na yango, Bila, mwasi mosali ya Rasheli, azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya mibale.
8 Then said Rachel With wrestlings of God, have I wrestled with my sister Yea I have prevailed. So she called his name, Naphtali.
Rasheli alobaki: « Nabundisi ndeko na ngai ya mwasi bitumba ya Nzambe mpe nalongi. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Nefitali. »
9 Then saw Leah, that she had left off bearing, —so she took Zilpah, her handmaid, and gave her to Jacob to wife.
Tango Lea amonaki ete azali kobota lisusu te, azwaki Zilipa, mwasi mosali na ye, mpe apesaki ye epai ya Jakobi mpo ete akoma mwasi na ye.
10 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid, bare to Jacob a son:
Zilipa, mwasi mosali ya Lea, abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali.
11 and Leah said, Victory hath come! So she called his name Gad.
Lea alobaki: « Oyo nde esengo! » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Gadi. »
12 And Zilpah, Leah’s handmaid bare a second son to Jacob;
Sima na yango, Zilipa, mwasi mosali ya Lea, abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya mibale.
13 and Leah said, For my happiness, surely happy have daughters pronounced me. So she called his name, Asher.
Lea alobaki: « Oyo esengo ya ndenge nini nakomi na yango! Pamba te basi bakobenga ngai moto ya esengo. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Aseri. »
14 Then went Reuben, in the days of the wheat harvest, and found mandrakes, in the field, and brought them in unto Leah his mother, and Rachel said unto Leah, Pray give me, some of the mandrakes of thy son
Na eleko ya kokata ble, Ribeni akendeki na bilanga mpe amonaki bambuma ya mandragore; amemelaki yango Lea, mama na ye. Bongo Rasheli alobaki na Lea: — Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai ndambo ya bambuma ya mandragore oyo mwana na yo amemaki.
15 And she said to her, Is it, a small thing, that thou hast taken away my husband? And wouldst thou take away, even the mandrakes of my son? Then said Rachel, Therefore, shall he lie with thee to-night, for the mandrakes of thy son.
Kasi Lea azongiselaki ye: — Boni, ndenge ozwi mobali na ngai, ekoki te? Olingi lisusu kozwa bambuma ya mandragore ya mwana na ngai? Rasheli alobaki na ye: — Malamu! Soki opesi ngai bambuma ya mandragore ya mwana na yo, Jakobi akolala epai na yo na butu ya lelo.
16 And Jacob came in from the field, in the evening, so Leah went out to meet him and said: Unto me, shalt thou come in, for I have hired, thee, even with the mandrakes of my son. And he lay with her that night,
Na pokwa, wana Jakobi awutaki bilanga, Lea akendeki kokutana na ye mpe alobaki na ye: « Okolala epai na ngai, pamba te napesi bambuma ya mandragore ya mwana na ngai mpo na yo. » Boye Jakobi asangisaki na ye nzoto na butu wana.
17 And God hearkened unto Leah, —and she conceived and bare to Jacob a fifth son.
Nzambe ayokelaki Lea mawa, akomaki na zemi mpe abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya mitano.
18 Then said Leah. God hath given my hire, in that I gave my handmaid to my husband. So she called his name, Issachar.
Lea alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai lifuti na ngai lokola napesaki mosali na ngai ya mwasi epai ya mobali na ngai. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Isakari. »
19 And Leah conceived again and bare a sixth son to Jacob.
Lea azwaki lisusu zemi mpe abotelaki Jakobi mwana mobali ya motoba.
20 Then said Leah, God hath dowered me even me with a hand-some dowry, Now! will my husband dwell with me, for I have borne him six sons. So she called his name, Zebulon.
Lea alobaki: « Nzambe apesi ngai likabo ya motuya. Sik’oyo, mobali na ngai akopesa ngai lokumu mpo ete naboteli ye bana mibali motoba. » Boye apesaki ye kombo « Zabuloni. »
21 And afterwards she bare a daughter, —so she called her name, Dinah.
Sima na mikolo, abotaki lisusu mwana mwasi mpe apesaki ye kombo « Dina. »
22 Then God remembered Rachel, —and God hearkened unto her, and granted her to bear.
Nzambe akaniselaki Rasheli, ayokaki kolela na ye mpe afungolaki ye mabota.
23 So she conceived and bare a son, —and said, God hath taken away my reproach;
Akomaki na zemi, abotaki mwana mobali mpe alobaki: « Nzambe alongoli soni na ngai. »
24 So she called his name Joseph, saying, Yahweh is adding unto me another son.
Apesaki ye kombo « Jozefi, » mpe alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe abakisela ngai mwana mosusu ya mobali! »
25 And it came to pass, when Rachel had borne Joseph, that Jacob said unto Laban, Let me go that I may take my journey, unto my place, and to my land.
Sima na Rasheli kobota Jozefi, Jakobi alobaki na Labani: — Pesa ngai nzela mpo ete nazonga na mboka na ngai.
26 Come, give me my wives and my children for whom I have served thee and let me take my journey, —for, thou, knowest my service wherewith I have served thee.
Pesa ngai mpe basi mpe bana na ngai, ba-oyo mpo na bango nasaleli yo; bongo nakokende na ngai. Pamba te oyebi malamu mosala makasi oyo nasaleli yo.
27 And Laban said unto him, If, I pray thee, I have found favour in thine eyes, …I have divined that Yahweh hath blessed me for thy sake.
Kasi Labani alobaki na ye: — Soki nazwi ngolu na miso na yo, nabondeli yo, kokende te; pamba te nasosoli na bosoloka ete Yawe apamboli ngai na nzela na yo.
28 And he said, —Come, fix thy wages for me, that I may give it!
Abakisaki: — Katela ngai lifuti na yo mpe nakofuta yo yango.
29 And he said unto him, Thou, knowest how I have served thee, —and how thy cattle have fared, with me.
Jakobi alobaki na ye: — Oyebi yo moko ndenge nini ngai nasaleli yo mpe ndenge nini, na nzela na ngai, bibwele na yo ekomi ebele.
30 For it was, little, that thou hadst—before I came and then it brake forth into multitude, and Yahweh blessed thee at my every step. Now, therefore, when am, I, also to do something for my own house?
Moke oyo ozalaki na yango, liboso ete ngai naya, ekomi ebele penza. Yawe apamboli yo na nzela na ngai. Kasi sik’oyo, nakosala tango nini mpo na libota na ngai moko?
31 And he said, What shall I give thee? And Jacob said: Thou shall give me, nothing at all, If thou wilt do for me this thing, I will return, I will shepherd thy flock I will keep it:
Labani atunaki ye: — Nasengeli kopesa yo nini? Jakobi azongisaki: — Okopesa ngai eloko te. Kasi soki olingi kosala likambo oyo mpo na ngai, nakokoba koleisa mpe kobatela bibwele na yo.
32 Let me pass through all thy flock to-day, removing from thence every young one that is speckled and spotted and every young one that is dark-coloured among the young sheep, and spotted and speckled among the goats, and they shall be my wages.
Lelo, nakoleka na kati-kati ya bibwele na yo, nakolongola kati na bana meme, bameme nyonso ya madodo-madodo mpe oyo ezali ya banzela-nzela ya mwindo; mpe lisusu kati na bantaba nyonso ya madodo-madodo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe. Wana nde ezala lifuti na ngai.
33 And my righteousness shall answer for me on a future day, when thou shall come in respecting my hire that is before thee, Every one that is not speckled and spotted among the goats and dark-coloured among the young sheep, stolen, shall it be accounted, if found with me.
Boye bosembo na ngai ekomonana sima na mikolo tango okoya kotala lifuti na ngai. Soki omoni epai na ngai ntaba ezanga madodo to ezanga banzela ya pembe to mwana meme ezanga madodo to ezanga banzela ya mwindo, wana ekozala lokola nayibi yango.
34 Then said Laban, Lo! would it might be according to thy word!
Labani alobaki: — Iyo! Tika ete ezala ndenge olobi.
35 So he removed, on that day, the he-goats that were striped and spotted and all the she-goats that were speckled and spotted, every one that had white in it, and every dark-coloured one among the young sheep, —and delivered them into the hand of his sons;
Kaka na mokolo wana, Labani alongolaki kati na bibwele, bantaba ya mibali ya madodo-madodo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe, bantaba nyonso ya basi ya madodo-madodo mpe ya banzela-nzela ya pembe, mpe bibwele nyonso oyo ezalaki mwa pembe mpe mwa mwindo kati na bana meme. Apesaki yango na maboko ya bana na ye ya mibali.
36 then put he a journey of three days between himself and Jacob, —but, Jacob himself, continued tending the flocks of Laban that were left.
Sima, Labani atambolaki mikolo misato mpo na kokabwana na Jakobi, wana Jakobi akobaki kobatela ndambo ya bibwele ya Labani oyo etikalaki.
37 So then Jacob took him rods of young storax, and hazel and maple, —and peeled in them white stripes, laying bare the white which was on the rods.
Jakobi azwaki bitape ya mobesu ya nzete ya pepiliye, ya amande mpe ya platane.
38 And he set the rods which he had peeled, in the channels in the troughs of water, —where the flocks came in to drink straight before the flocks, and the females of the flock used to be in heat when they came in to drink;
Bongo atiaki kati na basani mpe kati na bimelelo, liboso ya bibwele, bitape oyo apalolaki, na esika oyo bibwele ezalaki koya komela mayi. Wana bibwele ya basi ezalaki koyoka posa ya mayi, ezalaki mpe koyoka posa ya kosangisa nzoto na bibwele ya mibali.
39 and the males of the flock were in heat before the rods, —so the flocks brought forth ring-straked, speckled, and spotted.
Boye, bibwele ezalaki koya kosangisa nzoto liboso ya bitape wana; mpe tango ezalaki kobota, bana na yango ezalaki na banzela-nzela ya pembe, banzela-nzela ya mwindo mpe madodo-madodo.
40 The rams also, did Jacob separate, and then set the faces of the flocks towards the ring-straked and all the dark-coloured, among the flocks of Laban, —and he put his own droves by themselves, and put them not with the flocks of Laban.
Jakobi atiaki pembeni bana meme mpe atindaki yango na esika oyo bana meme ya nzela-nzela mpe ya mwa mwindo ezalaki; pamba te yango ezalaki kobotama mingi kati na bibwele ya Labani. Ezali boye nde akomaki na bibwele ya ye moko oyo asangisaki te na bibwele ya Labani.
41 So it came to pass whensoever the stronger of the flocks were in heat, that Jacob set the rods before the eyes of the flocks in the channels, —that the females might be in heat among the rods;
Tango nyonso bibwele ya basi, oyo ezalaki na nzoto minene, ezalaki na posa ya kosangisa nzoto, Jakobi azalaki kotia liboso ya bibwele yango bitape ya nzete kati na basani oyo yango ezalaki komelela mayi mpo ete esangisa nzoto pembeni ya bitape wana.
42 but, when the flocks were late in bearing, he did not set them, —and so the late-born were Laban’s, but the strong ones Jacob’s.
Kasi, na esika yango, azalaki kotia te bibwele oyo ekonda. Boye bibwele oyo ekonda ezalaki ya Labani, mpe oyo ya minene ezalaki ya Jakobi.
43 Thus did the man break forth, exceedingly, —thus came he to have flocks in abundance, and maid-servants, and men-servants and camels and asses.
Na nzela wana nde moto oyo akomaki na bozwi mingi koleka. Azwaki bibwele ebele, basali ya basi mpe ya mibali, bashamo mpe ba-ane.
