Genesis 24
1 And Abraham he was old he had come in days and Yahweh he had blessed Abraham in everything.
Abrayami akomaki mobange mpe mibu ya bomoi na ye epusanaki. Yawe apambolaki ye na makambo nyonso.
2 And he said Abraham to servant his old of household his who was ruling over all that [belonged] to him put please hand your under thigh my.
Abrayami alobaki na mosali na ye, oyo awumelaki mingi na ndako na ye mpe azalaki kokamba biloko na ye nyonso: — Tia loboko na yo na se ya mopende na ngai
3 So I may make swear you by Yahweh [the] God of the heavens and [the] God of the earth that not you will take a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in midst its.
mpe lapa ndayi na Kombo na Yawe, Nzambe oyo asala likolo mpe mokili, ete okozwela te mwana na ngai ya mobali mwasi kati na bana basi ya Kanana, ba-oyo nazali kovanda kati na bango.
4 For to land my and to kindred my you will go and you will take a wife for son my for Isaac.
Kasi okokende na mokili na ngai mpe na libota na ngai, mpe okozwa mwasi moko mpo na Izaki, mwana na ngai ya mobali.
5 And he said to him the servant perhaps not she will be willing the woman to go after me to the land this ¿ really will I take back son your to the land where you came out from there.
Mosali atunaki ye: — Tango mosusu mwasi yango akolinga na ye te kolanda ngai na mokili oyo. Boni, nakoki na ngai kozongisa mwana na yo ya mobali na mokili epai wapi owuta?
6 And he said to him Abraham take heed to yourself lest you should take back son my there towards.
Abrayami alobaki: — Keba na yo! Kozongisa mwana na ngai kuna te.
7 Yahweh - [the] God of the heavens who he took me from [the] household of father my and from [the] land of kindred my and who he spoke to me and who he swore an oath to me saying to offspring your I will give the land this he he will send angel his before you and you will take a wife for son my from there.
Yawe, Nzambe ya likolo, oyo abimisaki ngai na ndako ya tata na ngai mpe na mokili epai wapi nabotama, oyo alobaki na ngai mpe alakaki ngai na nzela ya ndayi ete akopesa mokili oyo na bakitani na ngai, akotindela yo anjelu na Ye mpo ete azala liboso na yo mpe mpo ete okoka koyela mwana na ngai ya mobali mwasi ya mokili wana.
8 And if not she will be willing the woman to go after you and you will be free from oath my this only son my not you must take back there towards.
Soki mwasi yango aboyi na ye kolanda yo, wana okangolami na ndayi oyo nazali kosenga yo kolapa. Kasi komeka kozongisa mwana na ngai ya mobali kuna te.
9 And he put the servant hand his under [the] thigh of Abraham master his and he swore an oath to him on the matter this.
Boye, mosali atiaki loboko na se ya mopende ya Abrayami, nkolo na ye, alapaki ndayi ya kosala makambo yango.
10 And he took the servant ten camels from [the] camels of master his and he went and every good thing of master his [was] in hand his and he arose and he went to Aram Naharaim to [the] city of Nahor.
Bongo mosali azwaki bashamo zomi kati na bashamo ya nkolo na ye elongo na biloko ya ndenge na ndenge oyo eleki kitoko; akendeki na Arami mpe azwaki nzela ya engumba ya Naori.
11 And he made kneel the camels from [the] outside of the city to [the] well of the water to [the] time of evening to [the] time of [the] going out of the [women who] draw water.
Tango akomaki kuna, avandisaki bashamo pembeni ya libulu ya mayi, na libanda ya engumba. Ezalaki na pokwa, na tango oyo basi babimaka mpo na kotoka mayi.
12 And he said - O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham make happen please before me this day and do covenant loyalty with master my Abraham.
Abondelaki: « Eh Yawe, Nzambe ya Abrayami, nkolo na ngai, longisa ngai na mokolo ya lelo mpe lakisa bolamu na Yo epai ya Abrayami, nkolo na ngai.
13 Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and [the] daughters of [the] people of the city [are] coming out to draw water.
Tala, natelemi pene ya libulu ya mayi mpe bana basi ya engumba bazali kobima mpo na koya kotoka mayi.
14 And it will be the young woman whom I will say to her bend down please jar your so I may drink and she will say drink and also camels your I will give a drink to her you have appointed for servant your for Isaac and by it I will know that you have done covenant loyalty with master my.
Tika ete mwana mwasi oyo nakoloba na ye: ‹ Nabondeli yo, tengemisa mbeki na yo mpo ete namela mayi, › mpe ye akozongisela ngai: ‹ Mela na yo, mpe nakomelisa lisusu bashamo na yo, › azala mwasi oyo oponi mpo na Izaki, mosali na Yo. Na nzela oyo, nakoyeba ete olakisi bolamu na Yo epai ya nkolo na ngai. »
15 And it was he not yet he had finished to speak and there! Rebekah [was] coming out who she had been born to Bethuel [the] son of Milcah [the] wife of Nahor [the] brother of Abraham and jar her [was] on shoulder her.
Liboso ete asilisa kosambela, Rebeka abimaki na mbeki na ye na lipeka. Azalaki mwana mwasi ya Betweli, mwana mobali ya Milika oyo azalaki mwasi ya Naori, ndeko ya Abrayami.
16 And the young woman [was] good of appearance exceedingly a virgin and a man not he had known her and she went down the spring towards and she filled jar her and she came up.
Elenge mwasi azalaki kitoko penza, ayebaki nanu nzoto ya mibali te; ata mobali moko te asangisaki na ye nzoto. Akitaki na libulu ya mayi, atondisaki mbeki na ye mpe amataki.
17 And he ran the servant to meet her and he said give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
Mosali akimaki mbangu mpo na kokutana na ye mpe alobaki: — Nabondeli yo, tika ngai namela ndambo ya mayi na mbeki na yo.
18 And she said drink O lord my and she hurried and she put down jar her on hand her and she gave a drink him.
Mwana mwasi alobaki: — Mela na yo, nkolo na ngai! Akitisaki mbeki mbangu na maboko na ye mpe apesaki ye mpo ete amela.
19 And she finished to give a drink him and she said also for camels your I will draw water until they have finished to drink.
Sima na kopesa ye mayi ya komela, alobaki: — Nakotoka lisusu mayi mpo na bashamo na yo nyonso kino ekosilisa komela.
20 And she hurried and she emptied jar her into the watering channel and she ran again to the well to draw water and she drew water for all camels his.
Asalaki na lombangu mpe asopaki mayi nyonso ya mbeki na ye na esika oyo banyama emelelaka mayi; akimaki lisusu na libulu mpe atokaki mayi mpo na bashamo na ye nyonso.
21 And the man [was] gazing to her being silent to know ¿ had he made successful Yahweh journey his or? not.
Mosali azalaki kotala ye na bokebi, alobaki eloko moko te mpo na koyeba soki Yawe alongisi mobembo na ye to te.
22 And it was just as they had finished the camels to drink and he took the man a ring of gold [was] a beka weight its and two bracelets on hands her [was] ten of gold weight their.
Tango bashamo esilisaki komela mayi, mosali azwaki lopete moko ya wolo, oyo batiaka na zolo mpe ezalaki ya bagrame motoba. Azwaki mpe basheneti mibale ya wolo: moko na moko ezalaki na bagrame koleka nkama moko.
23 And he said daughter of whom? [are] you tell please to me ¿ [is] there [the] house of father your room for us to stay [the] night.
Atunaki ye: — Ozali mwana mwasi ya nani? Nabondeli yo, yebisa ngai. Boni, esika ekoki komonana na ndako ya tata na yo mpo na biso mpo ete tolekisa kuna butu?
24 And she said to him [am] [the] daughter of Bethuel I [the] son of Milcah whom she bore to Nahor.
Azongiselaki ye: — Nazali mwana ya Betweli, mwana mobali ya Milika mpe Naori.
25 And she said to him both straw as well as fodder much which [is] with us also room to stay [the] night.
Abakisaki: — Tozali na matiti mpe biloko ebele ya koleisa bibwele; tozali mpe na esika mpo na yo mpo ete olekisa butu.
26 And he bowed low the man and he bowed down to Yahweh.
Boye, mosali akitisaki moto na ye na se mpe agumbamelaki Yawe.
27 And he said [be] blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who not he has left covenant loyalty his and faithfulness his from with master my I on the journey he has led me Yahweh [the] house of [the] relatives of master my.
Alobaki: « Tika ete Yawe, Nzambe ya nkolo na ngai, Abrayami, akumisama; Ye oyo atiki te kolakisa bolamu na Ye mpe boyengebene na Ye epai ya nkolo na ngai, pamba te atambolisi ngai na mobembo kino na ndako ya bandeko ya nkolo na ngai! »
28 And she ran the young woman and she told to [the] household of mother her according to the things these.
Elenge mwasi akimaki mbangu na ndako mpe alobaki epai ya mama na ye makambo oyo elekaki.
29 And [belonged] to Rebekah a brother and name his [was] Laban and he ran Laban to the man the outside towards to the spring.
Rebeka azalaki na ndeko moko ya mobali oyo kombo na ye ezalaki « Labani. » Ye mpe abimaki mbangu mpo na kokutana na mosali ya Abrayami kuna na libulu ya mayi.
30 And it was - when saw the ring and the bracelets on [the] hands of sister his and just as heard he [the] words of Rebekah sister his saying thus he spoke to me the man and he went to the man and there! [he was] standing with the camels at the spring.
Tango kaka amonaki lopete oyo batiaki na zolo mpe basheneti na maboko ya ndeko na ye ya mwasi, mpe ayokaki Rebeka koloba makambo oyo mosali alobaki mpo na ye, akendeki epai ya mosali mpo ete amonaki ye ya kotelema pene ya bashamo, pembeni ya libulu ya mayi.
31 And he said come O [one] blessed of Yahweh why? are you standing on the outside and I I have made clear the house and a place for the camels.
Alobaki: « Yaka na ndako na biso, yo oyo opambolama na Yawe. Mpo na nini otelemi awa na libanda? Nabongisi ndako mpe esika mpo na bashamo. »
32 And he went the man the house towards and he unharnessed the camels and he gave straw and fodder to the camels and water to wash feet his and [the] feet of the men who [were] with him.
Boye mosali ya Abrayami akotaki na ndako ya Labani, mpe bakitisaki biloko oyo ezalaki na likolo ya bashamo. Bamemaki bashamo na ye na esika oyo ezalaki na matiti mpe bilei ya banyama. Bamemaki mpe mayi mpo na ye mpe mpo na bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye mpo ete basukola makolo.
33 (And it was put *Q(K)*) before him to eat and he said not I will eat until I have spoken words my and he said speak.
Batielaki ye lisusu biloko ya kolia, kasi alobaki: — Nakoki kolia te kino nakosilisa koloba makambo nyonso oyo nazali na yango. Labani alobaki na ye: — Yebisa biso makambo yango.
34 And he said [am] [the] servant of Abraham I.
Azongisaki: — Nazali mosali ya Abrayami.
35 And Yahweh he has blessed master my exceedingly and he has become great and he has given to him sheep and cattle and silver and gold and [male] servants and female servants and camels and donkeys.
Yawe apambola mingi nkolo na ngai mpe akomisa ye mozwi: apesa ye bameme, bantaba, bangombe, palata mpe wolo, basali ya mibali mpe ya basi, ba-ane mpe bashamo.
36 And she has borne Sarah [the] wife of master my a son to master my after old age her and he has given to him all that [belongs] to him.
Sara, mwasi ya nkolo na ngai, na kimobange na ye, abotelaki nkolo na ngai mwana mobali, mpe nkolo na ngai apesaki biloko na ye nyonso epai ya mwana yango.
37 And he made swear an oath me master my saying not (you must take *LA(bh)*) a wife for son my from [the] daughters of the Canaanite[s] whom I [am] dwelling in land its.
Nzokande, nkolo na ngai alapisaki ngai ndayi na maloba oyo: « Kati na bana basi ya Kanana epai wapi nazali kovanda, okozwela mwana na ngai mwasi awa te.
38 If not to [the] house of father my you will go and to family my and you will take a wife for son my.
Kasi okokende na libota ya tata na ngai mpe na ekolo na ngai, kuna nde okozwa mwasi mpo na mwana na ngai ya mobali. »
39 And I said to master my perhaps not she will go the woman after me.
Nazongiselaki nkolo na ngai: « Tango mosusu, mwasi yango akolinga na ye kolanda ngai te. »
40 And he said to me Yahweh whom I have walked about before him he will send angel his with you and he will make successful journey your and you will take a wife for son my from family my and from [the] household of father my.
Mpe ye alobaki na ngai lisusu: « Yawe oyo natambolaki liboso na Ye akotinda anjelu na Ye elongo na yo mpe akolongisa mobembo na yo mpo ete ozwela mwana na ngai ya mobali mwasi oyo akowuta na ekolo na ngai mpe na libota ya tata na ngai.
41 Then you will be free from oath my for you will go to family my and if not they will give [her] to you and you will be free from oath my.
Boye tango okokende na ekolo na ngai, soki baboyi kopesa yo ye, okozala na ngambo te na ndayi oyo nalapisi yo. »
42 And I came this day to the spring and I said O Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham if [are] there you please [are] making successful journey my which I [am] going on it.
Nzokande lelo, tango nakomaki na libulu ya mayi, nasambelaki: « Oh Yawe, Nzambe ya nkolo na ngai, Abrayami, nabondeli Yo, longisa mobembo na ngai.
43 Here! I [am] standing at [the] spring of the water and it will be the young woman who will come out to draw water and I will say to her give to drink me please a little of water from jar your.
Tala ngai, natelemi pembeni ya libulu oyo ya mayi, elenge mwasi oyo akobima mpo na koya kotoka mayi mpe oyo nakoloba na ye: ‹ Nabondeli yo, nakoki kozwa ndambo ya mayi ya komela na mbeki na yo? ›
44 And she will say to me both you drink and also for camels your I will draw water she [be] the woman whom he has appointed Yahweh for [the] son of master my.
Mpe ye akozongisela ngai: ‹ Mela na yo, mpe nakotoka lisusu mayi mpo na bashamo na yo, › tika ete ye nde azala mwasi oyo Yawe aponi mpo na mwana mobali ya nkolo na ngai. »
45 I not yet I had finished to speak to heart my and there! Rebekah [was] coming out and jar her [was] on shoulder her and she went down the spring towards and she drew water and I said to her give a drink me please.
Liboso ete nasilisa kosambela kati na motema na ngai, Rebeka abimaki na mbeki na lipeka na ye. Akitaki na libulu ya mayi mpe atokaki mayi. Nalobaki na ye: « Nabondeli yo, pesa ngai mayi ya komela. »
46 And she hurried and she put down jar her from on her and she said drink and also camels your I will give a drink to and I drank and also the camels she gave a drink.
Akitisaki mbangu mbeki na ye wuta na lipeka na ye mpe alobaki: « Mela na yo, mpe nakomelisa lisusu bashamo na yo. » Boye namelaki mayi, mpe amelisaki lisusu bashamo mayi.
47 And I asked her and I said daughter of whom? [are] you and she said [the] daughter of Bethuel [the] son of Nahor whom she bore to him Milcah and I put the ring on nose her and the bracelets on hands her.
Natunaki ye: « Ozali mwana mwasi ya nani? » Azongisaki: « Nazali mwana mwasi ya Betweli, mwana mobali oyo Milika abotelaki Naori. » Boye natiaki lopete na zolo na ye mpe basheneti na maboko na ye.
48 And I bowed low and I bowed down to Yahweh and I blessed Yahweh [the] God of master my Abraham who he had led me in [the] way of truth to take [the] daughter of [the] brother of master my for son his.
Nakitisaki elongi na se mpe nagumbamelaki Yawe; nakumisaki Yawe, Nzambe ya nkolo na ngai, Abrayami, oyo atambolisaki ngai na nzela ya sembo mpo na kozwela mwana na ye ya mobali mwana mwasi ya ndeko ya nkolo na ngai.
49 And now if [are] there you doing loyalty and faithfulness with master my tell to me and if not tell to me so I may turn to right or to left.
Mpe sik’oyo, boyebisa ngai soki bokosalela nkolo na ngai bolamu mpe boyengebene. Soki te, boyebisa ngai mpo ete naluka nzela mosusu.
50 And he answered Laban and Bethuel and they said from Yahweh it has come out the matter not we are able to speak to you evil or good.
Labani mpe Betweli bazongisaki: — Makambo oyo nyonso ewuti epai na Yawe. Tozali na likambo mosusu te ya koloba na yo.
51 Here! Rebekah [is] before you take [her] and go so may she be a wife for [the] son of master your just as he has spoken Yahweh.
Tala Rebeka, azali liboso na yo! Kamata ye mpe kende na ye; mpe tika ete azala mwasi ya mwana mobali ya nkolo na yo, ndenge Yawe abongisi.
52 And it was just as he heard [the] servant of Abraham words their and he bowed down [the] ground towards to Yahweh.
Tango mosali ya Abrayami ayokaki makambo oyo bayebisaki ye, akitisaki elongi na ye kino na se liboso ya Yawe.
53 And he brought out the servant articles of silver and articles of gold and garments and he gave [them] to Rebekah and precious gifts he gave to brother her and to mother her.
Abimisaki biloko ya wolo, ya palata mpe bilamba; bongo apesaki yango na Rebeka. Apesaki mpe bakado ya motuya epai ya ndeko na ye ya mobali mpe epai ya mama na ye.
54 And they ate and they drank he and the men who [were] with him and they stayed [the] night and they arose in the morning and he said send away me to master my.
Sima na yango, mosali ya Abrayami mpe bato oyo bazalaki elongo na ye baliaki, bamelaki mpe balekisaki butu kati na ndako wana. Na tongo, tango balamukaki, mosali ya Abrayami alobaki na bango: — Botika ete nazonga epai ya nkolo na ngai.
55 And he said brother her and mother her let her remain the young woman with us days or ten (after *L(S)*) she will go.
Ndeko mobali mpe mama ya Rebeka bazongisaki: — Tika ete elenge mwasi atikala nanu elongo na biso mikolo zomi, sima nde bokoki kokende.
56 And he said to them may not you delay me and Yahweh he has made successful journey my send away me so let me go to master my.
Kasi alobaki na bango: — Bowumisa ngai te, pamba te Yawe alongisi mobembo na ngai; botika ngai kokende mpo ete nazonga epai ya nkolo na ngai.
57 And they said let us summon the young woman and let us ask mouth her.
Balobaki na ye: — Tika ete tobenga elenge mwasi mpe totuna posa na ye.
58 And they summoned Rebekah and they said to her ¿ will you go with the man this and she said I will go.
Babengaki Rebeka mpe batunaki ye: — Ondimi solo kokende na mobali oyo? Rebeka azongisaki: — Iyo, nandimi.
59 And they sent away Rebekah sister their and suckling-nurse her and [the] servant of Abraham and men his.
Boye batikaki ndeko na bango ya mwasi Rebeka ete akende elongo na mama oyo asungaka ye, na mosali ya Abrayami elongo na bato na ye.
60 And they blessed Rebekah and they said to her O sister our you become thousands of ten thousand so may it take possession of offspring your [the] gate of [those who] hate it.
Bapambolaki Rebeka mpe balobaki na ye: « Ndeko na biso ya mwasi, tika ete okoma mama ya nkoto ya bato, mpe tika ete bana na yo bakamata bingumba ya banguna na bango! »
61 And she arose Rebekah and maids her and they rode on the camels and they went after the man and he took the servant Rebekah and he went.
Boye Rebeka elongo na basali na ye ya basi batelemaki, bamataki likolo ya bashamo mpe balandaki mosali ya Abrayami. Bongo mosali ya Abrayami akamataki Rebeka mpe bakendeki na ye nzela moko.
62 And Isaac he came from going Beer Lahai Roi and he [was] dwelling in [the] land of the Negev.
Nzokande, Izaki azalaki kovanda na Negevi mpe awutaki na libulu ya mayi na Lakai-Royi.
63 And he went out Isaac to meditate in the field to [the] turning of evening and he lifted up eyes his and he saw and there! camels [were] coming.
Na pokwa, Izaki akendeki na bilanga mpo na kozwa tango ya kokanisa na bozindo. Tango atombolaki miso, amonaki bashamo kopusana pene ya esika oyo azalaki.
64 And she lifted up Rebekah eyes her and she saw Isaac and she fell from on the camel.
Tango Rebeka mpe atombolaki miso, amonaki Izaki mpe akitaki wuta na shamo na ye.
65 And she said to the servant who? [is] the man this who is walking in the field to meet us and he said the servant it [is] master my and she took the veil and she covered herself.
Atunaki mosali ya Abrayami: — Nazali komona mobali moko kati na bilanga, azali koya kokutana na biso; azali nani? Mosali ya Abrayami azongisaki: — Azali nkolo na ngai. Bongo Rebeka azwaki vwale na ye mpe amizipaki na elongi.
66 And he recounted the servant to Isaac all the things which he had done.
Mosali ya Abrayami ayebisaki Izaki makambo nyonso oyo asalaki.
67 And he brought her Isaac the tent of towards Sarah mother his and he took Rebekah and she became of him a wife and he loved her and he was comforted Isaac after mother his.
Na yango, Izaki amemaki Rebeka kati na ndako ya kapo ya mama na ye Sara, azwaki ye mpo ete azala mwasi na ye mpe alingaki ye. Boye Izaki abondisamaki na kufa ya mama na ye.
