Genesis 35
1 God said to Jacob, “Arise, go up to Bethel, and stay there. Build an altar there to God, who appeared to you when you fled from Esau your 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 Then Jacob said to his household and to all who were with him, “Put away the foreign gods that are among you, purify yourselves, and change your clothes.
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 Then let us depart and go up to Bethel. I will build an altar there to God, who answered me in the day of my distress, and has been with me wherever I have gone.”
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 to Jacob all the foreign gods that were in their hand, and the rings that were in their ears. Jacob buried them under the oak that was near 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 As they traveled, God made panic to fall on the cities that were around them, so those people did not pursue 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 So Jacob arrived at Luz (that is, Bethel), which is in the land of Canaan, 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 He built an altar there and called the place El Bethel, because there God had revealed himself to him, when he was fleeing from 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 Deborah, Rebekah's nurse, died. She was buried down from Bethel under the oak tree, so it was called Allon Bakuth.
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 When Jacob came from Paddan Aram, God appeared to him again and blessed him.
Nzambe abimelaki lisusu Jakobi tango azongaki wuta na Padani-Arami mpe apambolaki ye.
10 God said to him, “Your name is Jacob, but your name will no longer be called Jacob. Your name will be Israel.” So God 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 God said to him, “I am God Almighty. Be fruitful and multiply. A nation and a company of nations will come from you, and kings will be among your descendants.
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 The land that I gave to Abraham and Isaac, I will give to you. To your descendants after you I also give the land.”
Mokili oyo napesaki na Abrayami mpe na Izaki, napesi yango mpe na yo. Nakopesa yango lisusu na bakitani na yo. »
13 God went up from him in the place where he spoke with him.
Sima, Nzambe atikaki ye na esika oyo asololaki na ye.
14 Jacob set up a pillar in the place where God had spoken to him, a pillar of stone. He poured out a drink offering over it and poured oil on it.
Jakobi atelemisaki libanga ya elembo na esika oyo Nzambe asololaki na ye; asopaki likolo ya libanga yango likabo ya masanga mpe mafuta.
15 Jacob called the name of the place where God spoke with him, Bethel.
Jakobi apesaki esika oyo Nzambe asololaki na ye kombo « Beteli. »
16 They journeyed on from Bethel. While they were still some distance from Ephrath, Rachel went into labor. She had hard labor.
Jakobi mpe libota na ye balongwaki na Beteli. Wana bazalaki nanu mwa mosika na Efrata, Rasheli abotaki, kasi na pasi makasi.
17 While she was in hardest labor, the midwife said to her, “Do not be afraid, for now you will have another son.”
Lokola azalaki na pasi makasi ya kobota, mwasi mobotisi ayebisaki ye: « Kobanga te! Pamba te ozali na mwana mobali mosusu. »
18 As she was dying, with her dying breath she named him Ben-Oni, but his father called him Benjamin.
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 Rachel died and was buried on the way to Ephrath (that is, Bethlehem).
Rasheli akufaki mpe bakundaki ye na nzela ya Efrata, elingi koloba Beteleemi.
20 Jacob set up a pillar upon her grave. It is the marker of Rachel's grave to 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 Israel traveled on and pitched his tent beyond the watchtower of the flock.
Sima, Isalaele alongwaki mpe akendeki kotonga ndako na ye ya kapo mosika ya Migidali-Ederi.
22 While Israel was living in that land, Reuben slept with Bilhah his father's concubine, and Israel heard of it. Now Jacob had twelve sons.
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 His sons by Leah were Reuben, Jacob's firstborn, and Simeon, Levi, Judah, Issachar, and Zebulun.
Bana mibali ya Lea: Ribeni, mwana mobali ya liboso ya Jakobi; Simeoni, Levi, Yuda, Isakari mpe Zabuloni.
24 His sons by Rachel were Joseph and Benjamin.
Bana mibali ya Rasheli: Jozefi mpe Benjame.
25 His sons by Bilhah, Rachel's female servant, were Dan and Naphtali.
Bana mibali ya Bila, mwasi mosali ya Rasheli: Dani mpe Nefitali.
26 The sons of Zilpah, Leah's female servant, were Gad and Asher. All these were the sons of Jacob who were born to him in Paddan 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 Jacob came to Isaac, his father, in Mamre in Kiriath Arba (the same as Hebron), where Abraham and Isaac had lived.
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 Isaac lived for one hundred eighty years.
Izaki awumelaki na bomoi mibu nkama moko na tuku mwambe.
29 Isaac breathed his last and died, and was gathered to his ancestors, an old man full of days. 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.
