Genesis 35
1 Then said God unto Jacob, Arise, go up to Bethel, and dwell there, —and make there an altar, to the GOD who appeared unto thee, when thou fleddest from the face of Esau thy brother.
Nzambe alobaki na Jakobi: « Kende na Beteli, vanda kuna mpe tonga kuna etumbelo mpo na Nzambe oyo abimelaki yo tango ozalaki kokima ndeko na yo Ezawu. »
2 And Jacob said unto his house, and unto all who were with him, —Put away the gods of the alien which are in your midst, and purify yourselves, and change your garments;
Jakobi alobaki na bato ya libota na ye mpe na bato nyonso oyo bazalaki na ye elongo: « Bolongola banzambe ya bapaya oyo ezali kati na bino, bomipetola mpe bolata bilamba mosusu.
3 And let us arise, and go up to Beth-el, —that I may make there an altar to the GOD who answered me in the day of my distress, and was with me in the way that I went.
Tokomata na Beteli epai wapi nakotonga etumbelo mpo na Nzambe oyo ayanolaki ngai na mokolo oyo nazalaki na pasi mpe azalaki elongo na ngai bisika nyonso oyo nazalaki kokende. »
4 So they gave unto Jacob all the gods of the alien which were in their hand, and the earrings which were in their ears, —and Jacob hid them under the oak, which was by Shechem.
Bapesaki Jakobi banzambe nyonso ya bapaya, oyo bazalaki na yango mpe biloko na bango ya matoyi. Boye Jakobi akundaki yango na se ya nzete ya terebente oyo ezalaki pene ya Sishemi.
5 And they brake up, —and it came to pass that the terror of God, was on the cities which were round about them, so that they pursued not after the sons of Jacob.
Sima, bakendeki. Kanda na Nzambe ekweyelaki bingumba nyonso ya zingazinga na bango, mpe moko te alandaki bana mibali ya Jakobi.
6 And Jacob came in towards Luz, which was in the land of Canaan, the same, is Beth-el, —he and all the people who were with him.
Jakobi mpe bato nyonso oyo bazalaki elongo na ye bakomaki na Luze, oyo ezali Beteli, kati na mokili ya Kanana.
7 And he built there an altar, and called the place El-Beth-el, —because, there, God revealed himself unto him, when he fled from the face of his brother,
Kuna nde atongaki etumbelo mpe abengaki esika yango « Eli Beteli, » pamba te ezalaki kuna nde Nzambe amimonisaki epai na ye tango azalaki kokima ndeko na ye.
8 And Deborah, Rebekah’s nurse died, and was buried below Beth-el, under the oak, —so the name thereof was called, Allon-bacuth.
Ezalaki wana nde Debora, mama mobokoli ya Rebeka, akufaki. Bakundaki ye pembeni ya Beteli, na se ya nzete oyo, wuta na tango wana, bakomaki kobenga « Aloni-Bakuti. »
9 And God appeared unto Jacob again, when he came in from Padan-aram, —and blessed him.
Nzambe abimelaki lisusu Jakobi tango azongaki wuta na Padani-Arami mpe apambolaki ye.
10 And God said to him, Thy name, is Jacob, —Thy name shall no longer be called Jacob But, Israel, shall be thy name. So he called his name, Israel.
Nzambe alobaki na ye: « Kombo na yo ezali Jakobi; kasi okobengama lisusu Jakobi te, kombo na yo ekomi Isalaele. » Yango wana Nzambe apesaki ye kombo « Isalaele. »
11 And God said to him—I, am GOD Almighty! Be fruitful and multiply, A nation, and a multitude of nations shall spring from thee, —And, kings, from thy loins, shall come forth;
Nzambe alobaki na ye lisusu: « Nazali Nzambe-Na-Nguya-Nyonso. Bota bana mpe bokoma ebele; bokoma ekolo moko mpe bikolo ebele ekobima na nzela na yo, bakonzi bakobima kati na yo.
12 And, the land which I gave to Abraham and to Isaac, To thee, will I give it, —And to thy seed after thee, will I give the land.
Mokili oyo napesaki na Abrayami mpe na Izaki, napesi yango mpe na yo. Nakopesa yango lisusu na bakitani na yo. »
13 And God went up from him at the place where he had spoken with him.
Sima, Nzambe atikaki ye na esika oyo asololaki na ye.
14 And Jacob set up a pillar in the place where he had spoken with him, a pillar of stone, —and he poured out thereon a drink-offering, and poured thereon oil.
Jakobi atelemisaki libanga ya elembo na esika oyo Nzambe asololaki na ye; asopaki likolo ya libanga yango likabo ya masanga mpe mafuta.
15 And Jacob called the name of the place where God had spoken with him, Beth-el.
Jakobi apesaki esika oyo Nzambe asololaki na ye kombo « Beteli. »
16 Then brake they up from Beth-el, and it came to pass when there was yet a stretch of country, to enter into Ephrath, that Rachel was in childbirth, and had hard-labour in her child-birth.
Jakobi mpe libota na ye balongwaki na Beteli. Wana bazalaki nanu mwa mosika na Efrata, Rasheli abotaki, kasi na pasi makasi.
17 So it came to pass when she was in hard-labour in her child-birth, that the midwife said to her—Do not fear, for this also of thine, is, a son.
Lokola azalaki na pasi makasi ya kobota, mwasi mobotisi ayebisaki ye: « Kobanga te! Pamba te ozali na mwana mobali mosusu. »
18 And it came to pass when her soul was going forth—for she died, that she called his name Ben-oni, —but, his father, called him, Ben-jamin.
Lokola azalaki kobundana mpo na kokufa, liboso ya kokata motema, apesaki mwana na ye ya mobali kombo Beni-Oni. Kasi tata na ye apesaki ye kombo Benjame.
19 So Rachel died, —and was buried on the way to Ephrath, the same, is Bethlehem.
Rasheli akufaki mpe bakundaki ye na nzela ya Efrata, elingi koloba Beteleemi.
20 And Jacob set up a pillar, over her grave, —the same, is—The Pillar of the Grave of Rachel until this day.
Jakobi atelemisaki libanga ya elembo likolo ya kunda ya Rasheli; mpe kino lelo oyo, libanga wana ya elembo elakisaka kunda ya Rasheli.
21 Then Israel brake up, —and spread his tent at a distance from Migdal Eder.
Sima, Isalaele alongwaki mpe akendeki kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo mosika ya Migidali-Ederi.
22 And it came to pass while Israel inhabited that land, that Reuben went and lay with Bilhah his father’s concubine; and Israel heard of it. And so the Sons of Israel came to be Twelve.
Wana Isalaele azalaki kowumela na mokili wana, Ribeni ayaki kuna mpe asangisaki nzoto na Bila, makangu ya tata na ye; mpe Isalaele ayokaki yango. Jakobi azalaki na bana mibali zomi na mibale:
23 The sons of Leah, the firstborn of Jacob, Reuben, —And Simeon and Levi and Judah, and Issachar and Zebulon:
Bana mibali ya Lea: Ribeni, mwana mobali ya liboso ya Jakobi; Simeoni, Levi, Yuda, Isakari mpe Zabuloni.
24 The sons of Rachel, Joseph and Benjamin:
Bana mibali ya Rasheli: Jozefi mpe Benjame.
25 And the sons of Bilhah, handmaid of Rachel, Dan, and Naphtali:
Bana mibali ya Bila, mwasi mosali ya Rasheli: Dani mpe Nefitali.
26 And the sons of Zilpah, handmaid of Leah, Gad and Asher: These, are the sons of Jacob, who were born to him, in Padan-aram.
Bana mibali ya Zilipa, mwasi mosali ya Lea: Gadi mpe Aseri. Bango nde bana mibali ya Jakobi oyo babotelaki ye na Padani-Arami.
27 Then came Jacob unto Isaac his father, to Mamre, the city of Arba, —the same, is Hebron, where had sojourned Abraham and Isaac.
Jakobi azongaki epai ya Izaki, tata na ye, na Mamire, pene ya Kiriati-Ariba oyo ebengami Ebron, epai wapi Abrayami mpe Izaki bazalaki kovanda.
28 And the days of Isaac came to be—a hundred and eighty years.
Izaki awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku mwambe.
29 And Isaac breathed his last, and died and was added unto his people, old, and satisfied with days, —and Esau and Jacob his sons buried him.
Sima, Izaki akataki motema mpe akufaki; awumelaki na bomoi mibu ebele, akomaki mobange mpe alandaki bakoko na ye. Bana na ye ya mibali, Ezawu mpe Jakobi, bakundaki ye.
